Bonds, Oh Bonds

Chapter 85 Bonds, Oh Bonds

Obito Uchiha, believing he had guessed Itachi Uchiha's thoughts, sneered, "No wonder you're a traitor who would destroy your own clan for the sake of Konoha! Betrayal is probably just a habit for you by now!"

"..."

Itachi Uchiha clenched his fists tightly and stared coldly at Obito Uchiha, saying, "Senpai, it is not a wise thing to do to provoke your enemy when the outcome is still uncertain."

Even though Itachi Uchiha wanted nothing more than to kill Obito in front of him immediately, he still maintained his rationality and politeness.

However, this attitude undoubtedly angered Obito!

As a behind-the-scenes figure who considered himself superior, Obito Uchiha thought he could manipulate everything in his own hands. How could he be willing to see Itachi Uchiha's arrogance?

After the night of the massacre, he led Itachi Uchiha to join Akatsuki!

He was the one who gave Itachi Uchiha a place to stay!

Obito Uchiha covered his wound, and blood seeped from between his fingers.

Even with the superior regenerative abilities provided by Hashirama's cells, it couldn't stop Itachi Uchiha from stabbing him in such a fatal spot!

Obito Uchiha's expression gradually turned sinister, and he said coldly, "The only bonds you have left are Konoha and your younger brother who's still in school, right?"

"random."

Itachi Uchiha remained calm, even more composed than Obito Uchiha: "Senpai, you only have Zetsu and Kisame left as spies within Akatsuki. I imagine you don't want your pawns to be completely eliminated, do you?"

"asshole…"

The two of them touched on each other's sore spots.

Nagato, a member of the Akatsuki organization, was Obito Uchiha's most important pawn.

Even though this pawn was no longer obedient and even tried to secretly harm him, Obito still didn't want to give up and wanted to continue to use Nagato through other methods.

After all, the most important Tailed Beast Plan hasn't even started yet...

"Senior, let's have a proper talk!"

Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan gradually faded, and he took the initiative to propose reconciliation: "I hope you can tell me, senpai, why you became like this, why you took over Madara Uchiha's name, and your true purpose..."

I once heard Mr. Kakashi mention that my senior was the kindest person, and the only Uchiha in the village who aimed to become Hokage.

"Hmph, that good-for-nothing Kakashi is such a blabbermouth!"

Obito Uchiha sneered, his knuckles cracking as he spoke, a clear indication of his rage: "Because this world is hell, and all the current Konoha ninjas are trash I despise. Are you satisfied with that answer?"

"..."

This answer is not bad.

Obito Uchiha refused to be controlled by Itachi Uchiha, and since he also had leverage over Itachi, he merely vented his anger and did not want to reveal any information.

Including his own past.

Itachi Uchiha was a little worried that Obito might go crazy. If Obito took advantage of his unpreparedness to invade Konoha and kill Sasuke, it would be a huge loss.

Itachi Uchiha could only reiterate his previous agreement.

Obito Uchiha promised not to invade Konoha or harm Konoha ninjas, and Itachi Uchiha would remain in the Akatsuki organization to help Obito gather intelligence and help Akatsuki collect the Tailed Beasts.

However, they both knew in their hearts that their relationship could never go back to what it was before, and they might fall out over a single trigger.

At least compared to the past, Itachi Uchiha finally had something on Obito.

The two people were on equal footing.

Just as Itachi Uchiha once threatened Danzo Shimura to harm Sasuke, he would leak Konoha's information;

If Obito Uchiha harms a Konoha ninja, Itachi Uchiha will leak all the information about Obito's group to Pain and Konan.

"..."

Uehara Naraku was stunned.

Uehara couldn't help but touch his chin.

If he were to transform into Obito Uchiha and bully Sasuke Uchiha in Konoha, would Itachi Uchiha leak information to Konan?

Wouldn't that mean we could just drive Zetsu and Kisame out directly?

This thing seems to have some potential!

However, these kinds of things are easy to confront and reveal the truth. At that time, a little conversation between them would have revealed that someone was impersonating Uchiha Obito to commit the crime...

What if we follow the clues and find out that he is the one who fabricated the story out of thin air?

Could Uehara really pin the blame on Shimura Danzo?

It seems that it really works.

"Forget it, if we carry out the mission too late, we'll inevitably give ourselves away."

Uehara Naraku watched Uchiha Itachi's retreating figure and sighed, "Honestly, I gave you so much information for nothing, and you couldn't even kill one Uchiha Obito."

In fact, Uehara himself knew that even if Itachi Uchiha went all out, he might not be able to defeat the heavily injured Obito Uchiha.

But I still want Itachi Uchiha to try it.

After all, aside from his suicide attempt against the future Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha seemed capable of fighting anyone.

They could even force a battle and win.

Don't be too outrageous.

Perhaps this is why Sasuke Uchiha's enemies were somewhat puzzled as to how this kid managed to kill Itachi Uchiha...

Uehara Naraku was on his way to carry out a mission to expel and eliminate enemy ANBU and ordinary ninjas, unaware that someone had begun to have designs on him.

It was Obito Uchiha, who had just reached a superficial agreement with Itachi Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha rushed back to the underground base guarded by the White Zetsu clone, wasting another White Zetsu clone to replace his damaged organs and repair his own injuries.

"What's going on?"

Black Zetsu asked with some surprise, "Obito, didn't you go to meet with Itachi Uchiha? Did you have a conflict?"

"Um…"

Obito Uchiha nodded and continued, "Itachi Uchiha is no longer someone we can trust. He's using his status as a full-fledged Akatsuki member to threaten me. If we clash, he could inform Konan at any time!"

White Zetsu couldn't help but ask, "Then why not kill him?"

"..."

Obito Uchiha remained silent for a while, concealing the truth that he had almost been ambushed by Itachi Uchiha, and said in a low voice, "After all, he is a rare asset."

Recently, due to the leak of his identity, Black Zetsu has been subtly showing his dissatisfaction with him.

If we were to say now that he almost lost to Itachi Uchiha, wouldn't he be ridiculed by Black Zetsu and those stupid White Zetsu again?

Black Zetsu, however, felt the situation was becoming increasingly difficult, and he didn't think now was the time to be soft: "Someone who could trigger a crisis at any moment is very disadvantageous to us!"

"It's okay."

Obito Uchiha tapped the table and stated his demand: "As long as we regain Nagato and Konan's trust and take control of Akatsuki again, Itachi Uchiha's threat will be negligible."

"..."

Black Zetsu's eyes held a strange glint: "But what Nagato and Konan want is to ambush you, not to actually recruit you back into Akatsuki."

This is truly a pitiful story.

If I had known better, I shouldn't have bothered with that brat named Uehara Naraku in the first place, and I wouldn't be in this clueless situation now.

"I heard that Xiao Nan has been doting on her youngest disciple lately..."

Obito Uchiha stopped tapping his fingers on the table, slowly raised his head and said, "That little guy is a bit arrogant and domineering in front of outsiders. He seems to be brainless and doesn't seem to care much about what I did to him."

That brat probably thought I was betrayed and defeated by him, and since he didn't dare to mess with Nagato, he's never really taken me seriously, right?

Black Zetsu's eyes flickered: "You mean..."

"If we can persuade that brat Uehara Naraku with the Eye of the Moon Plan, we should be able to get Konan and Nagato to accept me back into the plan."

Obito Uchiha's gaze darkened, and a smug arrogance gradually appeared on his face: "Those ignorant people in the ninja world always like to indulge in useless emotions. Uehara Naraku is Konan and Nagato's new bond."

"..."

You're really something!

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu were speechless.

Did Obito not consider insulting himself when he said those things?

Doesn't Obito have any idea who that guy is who risks being discovered by Konoha to visit the memorial stone every time?

Why can't I find the problem myself no matter how much I calculate it?
