Chapter 351 The Uchiha under surveillance, Madara couldn't hold back any longer.
“Oodousang, Oogasang…”
In the Uchiha clan compound, the black-haired little boy, who was fast asleep, seemed to be startled awake by something. He suddenly opened his eyes, buried his head in his parents' arms, and cried out in a spoiled tone.
"Don't be afraid, sweetheart." A beautiful young woman with black hair gently patted the child's back to comfort him. The young man reading documents next to him also looked up slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes as he looked at his spoiled son.
Did he have a nightmare? It seems this child still lacks exercise...
Although he's only three years old, as his son, he certainly can't be raised like an ordinary child. This world is far from peaceful; for the sake of the clan and this child's future, a decision must be made soon!
Thinking of this, a resolute glint flashed in the man's eyes, and his expression softened. "One against seven. Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you how to refine chakra."
In an instant, the man's words struck like a thunderbolt from a clear sky, leaving both the young woman and the little boy stunned, followed by the little boy's burst of ecstasy.
"Great! I'm finally going to become a ninja! Father, I will definitely train hard to become a ninja as good as you."
"Okay, then go to sleep. We'll start at five tomorrow morning. I'll be waiting for you at the training ground." Seeing his son's enthusiasm, the man smiled and waved, in a great mood.
The little boy immediately nodded and went back to sleep, leaving his young mother looking at her husband with a worried expression. "Fugaku, isn't this too fast? Itachi is only three years old this year..."
"Quickly? This world doesn't give children time to grow up. The situation is chaotic right now, and the clan has lost the genius Obito. I have to consider the future of the Uchiha clan." The man named Fugaku shook his head with a wry smile. He knew all this all too well.
However, the harsh reality facing Konoha forced him to make a decision as soon as possible.
Damn it, what's wrong with Obito? He clearly awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, which he hadn't even awakened himself, but then he disappeared...
"Hopefully, Itachi also has the talent to awaken those eyes. Hmm, it's time to find Itachi a partner he can rely on. I heard that Shisui has been performing well on the battlefield lately; we could introduce them sometime."
Suddenly, Fugaku turned his head and looked at his son who had fallen asleep, murmuring to himself with high hopes.
Originally, I wanted Obito to become Itachi's mentor Jonin, but now I have to settle for second best!
"Uchiha Shisui? That genius boy who graduated early a while ago?" Mikoto said subconsciously, the image of that gentle and polite boy flashing through her mind.
If it were him, Itachi's ninja career probably wouldn't worry her much...
[Shisui graduated and went to the front lines? No wonder I couldn't find him in the Uchiha clan's territory, I see.] Almost simultaneously, Ishikawa, somewhere underground, thought to himself with flashing red eyes.
Immediately, he turned his gaze and used his X-ray vision to look at the White Zetsu clone not far away.
At this time, there are White Zetsu spying on the Uchiha clan's territory. It seems that Madara couldn't wait any longer! I wonder if he's gathering information on Obito or selecting a new representative.
Thinking of this, Ishikawa's lips curled slightly, and he activated the Earth Reflection Fish Technique to quickly dive towards White Zetsu.
Although this C-rank Earth Release technique is inferior to White Zetsu's Ephemeral Technique, Ishikawa's use of it, combined with his normal Kage-level strength, allowed him to catch the White Zetsu clone effortlessly, taking advantage of the situation where the opponent was not expecting it.
'Pupil Imprint Technique...'
Without hesitation, upon seeing Bai Zetsu's astonished and panicked expression, Ishikawa's right eye swiftly formed hand seals to enter Bai Zetsu's brain and probe his memories.
[As expected, Madara is looking for a new pawn!]
Moments later, Ishikawa received the task from the White Zetsu clone, his eyes flashing with amusement. To avoid alerting the enemy, Ishikawa did not attack the White Zetsu but instead erased his memories and disappeared underground.
[So far, including Itachi and Shisui, a total of four Uchiha clan members have been monitored and evaluated by White Zetsu. It must be said, Madara's judgment is indeed sharp.]
To be more precise, the White Zetsu monitoring Itachi was less about assessing Itachi's potential and more about monitoring whether Fugaku had the potential to awaken his Sharingan. He was only kept as a backup because Fugaku was too old to be easily fooled…
After leaving Konoha, Ishikawa slowly emerged from underground, having already made up his mind.
"It seems my plan to eliminate all obstacles is quite promising. But before that, I must find Lin." Muttering to himself, Ishikawa rapidly formed hand seals with his right eye, activating the Spirit Transformation Technique.
This time, however, he did not leave his original body and flee hundreds of miles away. Instead, he used his spiritual perception to find Lin's soul imprint and obtain her location.
"Found it, is it still in the Misty Battlefield?" In an instant, Ishikawa deactivated his Spirit Transformation Technique and looked in one direction with burning eyes.
Without hesitation, Ishikawa's left eye turned crimson, and his body crackled with lightning, transforming into a blur as he swiftly disappeared into the dense forest.
Meanwhile, underground spaces.
"Still no clue about Obito? Can you tell me if that guy is dead or alive, Tobi?" Madara Uchiha asked coldly, his voice aged yet his gaze sharp as a knife.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give up Obito, it's just that compared to other options, he had to throw him away...
Compared to Obito, who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 13, the Uchiha clan at this time consisted of both old and young people, and there were no candidates who caught his eye.
Even Fugaku Uchiha, who was most likely to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, and Shisui, a genius who had only one tomoe at the age of seven, could not satisfy him.
"I'm sorry, Lord Madara. You know about that kind of space-time ninjutsu; we have absolutely no way to track Obito. Not only us, but even the Yellow Flash, who is currently proficient in space-time ninjutsu in Konoha, is helpless against it."
"However, Rin Nohara and Kakashi have been under White Zetsu surveillance. Given Obito's obsession with Rin, I believe he'll go find her as soon as he returns safely." Tobi shrugged and sighed helplessly. Madara-sama was clearly making things difficult for him!
Searching for someone across time and space? He's just a White Zetsu, not a Space Zetsu; he doesn't have that kind of power.
"No, this is too passive! Nagato is growing stronger every day, and I can't waste my time like this." As if he knew he was putting someone in a difficult position, Madara Uchiha remained silent for a moment, his eyes showing determination.
"Afei, where is Nohara Rin now?"
"Nohara Rin? She's still on the front lines of the Kirigakure battlefield. Lord Madara, why are you asking about her?" Tobi scratched his head in confusion, completely unable to follow Madara's train of thought.
"Hmph, I'm going to use a special method to finally test whether Obito is still alive. If he appears, all the better; if not, then let's see if Konoha will produce a new Mangekyou Sharingan..."
"A new Mangekyou Sharingan??" Seeing Madara's unfathomable expression, Tobi was once again filled with surprise and confusion.
"That's right, I want to see which Uchiha can awaken those eyes now. Anyway, it's just an experiment, who knows the outcome until the very end?" Uchiha Madara snorted coldly, then his gaze sharpened and his hands formed hand seals.
"Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique..."
