[Graveyard of the Mountains]
In mid-air, a figure appeared from the void, it was Obito who had replaced his eye.
He had been in Danzo's secret chamber, and because of a phantom pain, he ended up inhaling a mouthful of poisonous smoke.
Obito directly fainted in the Kamui space for several days.
After waking up, the phantom pain had not disappeared at all, and the Kamui of his right eye also felt a bit uncomfortable.
He planned to come out first and ask White Zetsu about what was going on in Konoha.
Obito quickly found White Zetsu and asked about what happened in Konoha after he retreated.
"What?"
"Kakashi's Sharingan was dug out?"
The White Zetsu in front of Obito was just an ordinary body, the kind without much self-awareness, and upon hearing this, he just answered honestly, "Yes, Uchiha said he wanted to take back all the Sharingan."
"When preparing to report to you, you weren't there."
Obito was numb all over, no wonder his left eye felt phantom pain, turned out his own eye had been dug out.
'What was Kakashi doing at that time, how can I be schemed against by Uchiha?'
He had been eyeing Danzo's stuff before, and was even smug about having gotten 6 Sharingan.
He hadn't expected his own home to be robbed.
Obito's expression became a little tense, if Uchiha only took back the Sharingan and just dug out Kakashi's eye, then that was fine.
But if Uchiha knew his identity and deliberately targeted him, then the problem would be serious.
Originally, Obito felt that his information would definitely not leak out.
But in fact, all the Uchiha clan members already knew Obito's information. And Obito didn't even know how this information leaked out.
"Tell me everything that happened afterward too."
"Let me tell you instead," A voice sounded. Zetsu crawled out from the ground.
Right now Zetsu was still in the state of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu combined, usually serving as the Akatsuki's intelligence officer, so it was most appropriate for him to speak.
And the fact that Zetsu knew as soon as Obito appeared made Obito even more guarded in his heart.
"Why did you lose contact after going to Konoha?"
So many things had happened that night, first Konan bombarded Konoha with explosive tags, and Zetsu noticed that things seemed to be beyond his expectations.
Afterwards, Konan was blasted by a Tailed Beast Bomb, making Zetsu even more dumbfounded.
He thought this time it was just an intelligence-gathering mission to Konoha.
He hadn't expected the Jinchuriki to directly infiltrate.
At first, Zetsu didn't know which Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast Bomb it was.
Later, when the Third Hokage fought with it, he realized it was the Mizukage.
And Obito had already fainted in Kamui space from inhaling poisonous smoke due to the eye problem.
Naturally, Zetsu couldn't find him.
"If you were there, you could have enslaved Yagura."
"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki went berserk over there, Konoha couldn't control it at all, it was Uchiha Rengoku who subdued the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
"Konoha compromised the next day, giving up two honorary elder positions, and canceled Danzo's elder and assistant positions."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen was exposed by the Hyuga clan for having over a thousand private soldiers, but Konan's explosive tags killed two or three hundred."
"Kakuzu tried to target the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and got dealt with by Jiraiya, Konan was injured by the Tailed Beast Bomb and was rescued by Sasori."
"Juzo betrayed the organization and returned to Kirigakure, Kisame's whereabouts are unknown."
"This operation was a complete failure, and Konan may have colluded with Uchiha."
"Konan and Pain haven't appeared so far, whereabouts unknown."
After hearing this, Obito was numb all over, how come it was all bad news.
As for Juzo and Kisame, he couldn't care about them anymore.
The current problem was that his information was very likely leaked.
Zetsu was also speechless, everything went smoothly in the early stages. But ever since Uchiha Itachi asked Obito to go massacre the clan, everything changed.
The Uchiha weren't massacred, and Obito got played. Then the Uchiha acted frequently, directly making Konoha back down.
"We need to meet with Konan and Nagato, to test their attitude," Obito wasn't a very smart person, but when Zetsu said this, he realized it too.
Whether his information had leaked, he'd know by meeting with Konan.
Obito responded, "If Konan and Nagato show up, notify me."
Zetsu nodded, "You need to be careful of this person."
As he spoke, his appearance began to change, turning into Uchiha Rengoku's appearance.
Looking at this familiar face, Obito was shocked, 'Isn't this the man who used Amaterasu on me that night?'
He hadn't told Zetsu that he was burned to death once by Amaterasu, he just said he suffered a loss that time, so Zetsu didn't know.
"This person is Uchiha Rengoku, he is now already the fourth elder of Uchiha and an honorary elder of Konoha."
"The recent changes in Uchiha were brought about after he obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan."
Obito stared at Rengoku's face, and suddenly felt something.
His Sharingan being taken should have been done by him.
Obito took a deep breath, "Let's find Konan and Nagato first, other matters can wait."

[ROOT]
Although Danzo had woken up, he still needed long hours of sleep and lots of medicine every day.
Only then could he maintain his spirits.
This was because Root had money, all kinds of precious medicines were piled on. Otherwise, Danzo wouldn't have recovered so quickly after being under Kotoamatsukami for a month.
Danzo flipped through the experiment report in his hand, his expression very gloomy.
"Useless! Wasted so many materials, yet no progress at all."
Fujiwara stood below being scolded, but remained calm.
If Danzo was cursing like this, it actually meant he wasn't truly angry.
The truly terrifying time was when he said nothing, that was when you could be dragged down and killed at any moment.
Fujiwara waited until Danzo finished scolding before speaking, "Sir, our Hashirama cells can only support our experiments for one more week."
Danzo threw the report in his hand aside, "What did Orochimaru say?"
A Root member next to Fujiwara answered, "Sir, Orochimaru wants 3.1 million per unit."
Danzo's face darkened visibly.
"He's asking that much?", The Anbu below swallowed hard, already sensing Danzo's anger.
After all, this stuff cost only hundreds of thousands, now Orochimaru was asking this high, clearly taking advantage of the situation, "Yes, Orochimaru said, there is only 3.1 units in stock."
"He is working on other experiments recently, and plans to destroy these Hashirama cell solutions soon."
Although Hashirama cells were indeed dangerous, it hadn't reached the point where they had to be destroyed.
This was obviously hoarding to jack up the price.
Danzo's gaze flickered, as if thinking.
At this time, another Root member appeared.
"Sir, the Third Hokage has arrived."
Danzo waved his hand, "You all wait here for me."
