Obito took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "Zetsu, is everything I asked for ready?"
"Yes!"
With Zetsu's command, most of the White Zetsu present began to change.
They took on various forms!
Orochimaru and the others looked around and recognized many familiar faces among them.
"So that's it!"
Orochimaru and the others suddenly understood.
No wonder it had taken so long for this battle to start!
During this time, White Zetsu had been collecting chakra from Konoha and other villages.
Not only from the living but also from the dead.
Now, after transforming, they infiltrated various shinobi villages to carry out sabotage operations.
"Let's move out!"
With Obito's order, all the White Zetsu were the first to march forward.
In addition to their transformations, they carried a large number of explosive tags.
This time, they would send Konoha's forces straight to hell.
After they set off, the others followed.
But...
"Inspection!"
When the White Zetsu reached a checkpoint, they were stopped by a large number of Konoha shinobi.
Faced with the vigilant gazes of the Konoha shinobi, the White Zetsu remained motionless.
Since the start of the war, Konoha had set up multiple checkpoints along the roads, and each one was heavily guarded. The White Zetsu were well aware of this.
The White Zetsu looked calm.
No fear!
Although their identities were fake, they had known about these checkpoints in advance, so how could they not have prepared for them?
At the very least, they had ways to deal with interrogations.
After checking for a while, a Konoha shinobi said coldly: "No, you can't pass!"
"Why?" A White Zetsu couldn't help but shout: "Our procedures are completely compliant. The goods behind us are the business of the nobles."
The Konoha shinobi looked at each other, and suddenly, weapons appeared in their hands.
"Kill!"
"Kill them!"
"There's something wrong with these bastards!"
This sudden attack undoubtedly caught the White Zetsu off guard.
In the blink of an eye, this team of hundreds of people was killed by the Konoha shinobi.
"Why?"
Obito turned his head, stared at Black and White Zetsu, and roared.
Damn, this bad start makes him sad!
I don't have morale here, and you're still making things worse for me.
"I-I'll go and find out right now!"
Black Zetsu trembled, really worried that the other party would kill him.
The cold aura emanating from Obito was intense.
The results of the investigation came back soon.
It turned out that Konoha had already stockpiled a large amount of supplies to ensure that there would be no problems in the short term.
Although it still cooperated with several caravans, it rejected most of the merchants.
This situation would continue until the end of the war.
White Zetsu's claim about compliance with procedures was wrong in itself.
Konoha had already notified everyone that it would cut off cooperation with all merchants for the time being. If you show up talking about procedures now, isn't it obvious that something is wrong with you?
The business of the nobles?
Even the business of the daimyo is not allowed!
Obito's face turned black, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Then go find a real caravan. No matter how many supplies Konoha has stored, it's impossible for them to completely cut off contact with the outside world."
"Yes!"
Konoha had rejected most of the caravans but left a few passages open.
The White Zetsu quickly located a caravan, killed them in a few moves, and then disguised themselves before arriving at the Konoha checkpoint again.
After a check, a Konoha ninja suddenly said, "The King of Heaven and Earth Tiger!"
"What?" White Zetsu was stunned.
"Kill!"
Another group of hundreds of White Zetsu was wiped out.
[Bang!]
Obito smashed a piece of the rock wall in front of him with his fist.
"What's the reason this time?" Obito looked at Black Zetsu coldly and asked, "What is the King of Heaven and Earth Tiger?"
"It seems to be a code!"
After a brief silence, Obito said, "You disguised yourselves as them but didn't even ask for the code?"
"I did ask, but I didn't hear it!"
Obito: "... Then what happened just now? Go find out again!"
"Okay!"
After another round of attempts, it took three days for the information to reach Obito again.
There was indeed a code.
However, this code had been randomly given to a member of the caravan by Konoha before they set off.
When White Zetsu killed the merchants, they did ask if there was a code, but most people didn't know.
White Zetsu also had bad luck. After asking several merchants, they gave up. There were dozens of people in the caravan, and since the survivors didn't cooperate, how long would it have taken to ask everyone one by one?
Who knew that among the people they didn't ask, there was actually someone who knew the code?
Zetsu looked at Obito nervously and asked, "Are we going to continue?"
He was starting to feel afraid.
They had been wiped out twice in a row.
The key issue was that Obito's rage was rising.
Who knew what would happen next time? Would he snap and kill them all?
Although he controlled Uchiha Madara's trump card and could manipulate Obito, Obito was still terrifying.
Whoever strikes first will win.
"Continue!" Obito cursed: "It's happened twice already. The people of Konoha aren't stupid. They must be prepared by now. If we attack again, who knows what traps they've set up? Find another way to bypass these checkpoints."
"Okay!"
For anyone else, bypassing the checkpoints would be impossible!
But Obito is different!
His Mangekyō Sharingan ability is space-time dojutsu!
He could store them in his own dimension and then use his time-space dojutsu to bring them to a location near Konoha.
If Konoha didn't have a barrier, Obito would have taken them straight inside the village!
But!
After Uchiha Funan became Hokage, he changed Konoha's barrier.
And!
Looking at the tens of thousands of White Zetsu, Obito felt a headache for the first time!
With over 10,000 troops, how many could he fit in his space at once?
How many could he transport at a time?
How long would it take to move them all?
However, hatred breeds new power.
Every time Obito thought of Uchiha Funan's irritating face, new strength surged within him.
Grinding his teeth, enduring humiliation, pushing himself beyond his limits…
In the end, Obito actually managed to transport tens of thousands of White Zetsu to Konoha's outskirts in one go.
"Huff, huff!"
Watching Obito struggle to catch his breath, Black Zetsu wisely chose not to ask any more questions. Instead, he raised his hand and shouted: "Little ones, go! Blow Konoha to pieces for me!"
"No, not for you!" Obito panted, gritted his teeth, and said: "It's for me! I, Uchiha Obito, do you understand?"
Black Zetsu: "... Understood!"
"Huff, huff!" Obito stared at Konoha Village, gritted his teeth, and growled: "Uchiha Funan, huff, accept, huff, my, huff, gift!"
... Just don't die from exhaustion before your revenge—Uchiha Madara is still waiting for his resurrection!
...
Konoha.
Funan arrived at Senju Tobirama's laboratory.
"Sorry for the long wait..." Senju Tobirama looked at Funan and said, "I've already completed the task you asked me to do. Apologies, it seems I took longer than expected!"
"It's okay. I'm still on time!"
Funan's eyes were burning, and he said: "Second generation, the next step is to help the first generation recover his strength with all your strength. Before the war begins, recover as much as you can, and the whole Konoha will cooperate with you!"
"I know!"
Senju Tobirama looked at Funan deeply, turned around, and left.
"Okay, next, it's my turn!"
Funan threw a death row prisoner to the ground and clasped his hands together: "Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation!"
A large amount of dark matter wrapped around the death row prisoner, and then a blond man appeared in front of Funan.
"Long time no see, Minato!"
"You, you are..."
The man came back to his senses, stared at Funan blankly, and frowned as he looked at his arm.
"Uchiha Funan, what did you do?"
Uchiha Funan smiled meaningfully: "Fourth Hokage, you should call me Fifth Hokage!"
"Fifth Hokage..."
What Funan wanted Tobirama to do during this period was to unlock the seal!
In order to seal the Nine-Tails, Minato used the Shiki Fujin, and his soul was entangled with part of the Nine-Tails' soul.
As a result, the Impure World Reincarnation could not summon him.
Funan needed Minato, so he asked Tobirama to find a way to break this ninjutsu and release Minato's soul from the Shiki Fujin.
Minato was stunned when he heard Funan's words.
"You, are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding!" Funan formed seals with his hands and said calmly: "After you died, the Third Hokage regained power. It was not until a few years ago that I overthrew him and became the new Hokage."
"Overthrow?" Minato's face changed drastically.
What a treasonous statement!
Funan looked calm, but his eyes were filled with satisfaction: "Yes! I overthrew him!"
Minato was silent for a long time, then said: "What's my situation now?"
"The forbidden technique studied by the second-generation Hokage. You were also a Hokage, you should have seen this ninjutsu—Impure World Reincarnation!" Funan said. "You used Shiki Fujin, and it took a lot of time to break this ninjutsu."
Minato murmured: "Impure World Reincarnation? It's this ninjutsu!"
"What do you want to do?"
Minato looked at Uchiha Funan with cold eyes.
He had always been deeply wary of this Uchiha genius.
The other party was talented and superior to him.
However, the other party was not someone who would settle down.
When he fought side by side with him, he was shocked by the other party's wild and unrestrained thoughts.
He didn't understand—how could such a young child have such ideas?
Danger!
Too dangerous!
Such ideas, appearing in the body of an Uchiha, were even more dangerous.
Therefore, when the Third Generation and Danzo attacked Uchiha Funan and slandered him with rumors, he chose to remain silent.
Funan looked at Minato, smiled, and said: "I want the Nine-Tails inside your body!"
"What?!"
