Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito with the System

Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Scheming in Kirigakure



After much deliberation, Obito decided to make a trip to Kirigakure.

"But to play it safe, I'll need to make some preparations first."

With a flicker of Kamui, he quietly returned to Konoha.

Afterward, he traversed the void once more, arriving at the Akatsuki's hidden base.

Navigating the familiar halls, he strode into Nagato's office.

Nagato looked up in mild surprise.

"Obito, what brings you here? And about that recent news concerning you..."

Obito seated himself across from Nagato, his tone calm.

"Nagato, I'm here precisely because of that."

"If my guess is correct, the one pulling strings in the shadows against us is likely the same person."

"And… (details omitted for brevity)"

Obito then recounted his recent experiences and shared his deductions.

Nagato frowned deeply after listening.

"You're saying the enemy might be controlling the Fourth Mizukage?"

Obito nodded slightly.

"Exactly. And I have good reason to believe this individual is also a member of the Uchiha clan."

Nagato was startled and instinctively said,

"That would explain it… If it's the Sharingan, then it makes sense."

Indeed, the unique powers of the Sharingan were among the few abilities capable of eluding his Rinnegan. Even if that day, his condition had been less than optimal...

Obito nodded again, his tone steady.

"Considering what you've told me, the opponent must have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan and possesses formidable genjutsu-based ocular abilities."

"With the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, controlling a strong individual who lacks mental defenses isn't particularly challenging."

Nagato's frown deepened.

"That's a troublesome situation."

An unknown manipulator controlling a village leader was no small matter. Confronting this puppet master would essentially mean declaring war on the entire Kirigakure.

Seeing Nagato lost in thought, Obito continued.

"Nagato, I plan to visit Kirigakure. Perhaps I can uncover something useful."

"But it wouldn't be wise to go alone. That's why I need your support."

After a moment of contemplation, Nagato nodded, then hesitated. He pointed to his right eye, a faint hint of regret in his voice.

"Obito, I only have one eye left. I might not be of much help."

Obito's heart tightened briefly, but he patted Nagato's hand reassuringly.

"Don't worry. Besides you, I've already enlisted another ally."

Nagato raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Who else have you recruited, little junior?"

A faint smile played at the corner of Obito's lips.

"My dear cousin—Uchiha Shisui."

In this timeline, Shisui had also awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Moreover, his awakened ability was entirely different from his past life's Kotoamatsukami.

This time, Shisui's Mangekyō ability was named Betsugan Kami.

It was a technique bearing some resemblance to Izanagi, yet vastly superior.

[Betsugan Kami: Reverse causality, overturn the future. Capable of distorting reality within certain limits, rewriting the 'past' according to the user's will.]

"And that's the ability my cousin awakened," Obito explained to Nagato.

After hearing the details, Nagato's eyes shimmered with envy.

"What an incredible power… I'm so jealous."

Obito could only pinch the bridge of his nose, exasperated.

"You, with the Rinnegan, envying us all the time… Seriously?"

Of course, dual Kamui was indeed enviable, but what could he do? Lend one to Nagato for fun?

Nah, Kakashi's already waiting in line for that.

Nagato rose from his seat.

"Wait here for a moment. I need to inform Yahiko and the others."

Obito gave him an okay gesture.

"Sure thing."

Half an hour later, Obito brought Nagato into the Kamui dimension.

Shisui was already waiting for them.

Nagato smiled warmly and greeted Shisui.

"Hello, Shisui. I'm Nagato."

Shisui quickly bowed slightly in response.

"Hello, Nagato-san."

After brief pleasantries, the three turned to the matter at hand.

Shisui was the first to speak.

"Obito, are we setting off now?"

Obito nodded.

"Yes. The enemy may very well be deliberately luring us to Kirigakure. The longer we delay, the more time they have to prepare."

Nagato mused aloud.

"Do you have a plan?"

Obito sighed with a wry smile.

"Honestly? No great plan."

"My idea is to bring the two of you and infiltrate Yagura's residence. We'll try to subdue him and lift the genjutsu on him. If that fails…"

A sharp glint flashed in Obito's eyes.

"Then we'll kill Yagura outright."

"Nagato, you can then extract his soul and directly read his memories."

Shisui hesitated, his face troubled.

"Cousin, but…"

Obito placed a firm hand on Shisui's shoulder.

"Shisui, this isn't the time for mercy."

"We're venturing deep into enemy territory, with danger lurking everywhere. We can't afford to be soft-hearted."

Nagato chimed in.

"Obito's right. In battle, hesitation can cost lives. The enemy won't show us any mercy."

Shisui let out a heavy sigh before nodding firmly.

"I understand."

Seeing Shisui steel his resolve, Obito gave a satisfied nod.

"Then let's move out."

"Once there, we'll play it by ear. If the situation becomes untenable, we retreat immediately."

A crescent moon hung in the sky, casting a pale and desolate light.

The mist-shrouded village of Kirigakure was silent.

A shadowy figure appeared in an instant, a red flash marking its presence before vanishing again.

"It should be just ahead…" Obito murmured under his breath.

Meanwhile, in a room within Kirigakure, a woman's eyes snapped open. Crimson light flickered with excitement.

"Finally, you've arrived, cousin," she whispered.

This woman was none other than Setsuna.

She had tampered with the ANBU she'd sent out earlier, leaving subtle "marks" on them.

Anyone attempting to probe their memories would unknowingly pick up this mark.

Marked individuals entering her proximity would trigger her awareness.

Setsuna called this technique Flower Pollen.

"After all this preparation, it's time to see if I can take you down…"

Draping a cloak over her curvaceous figure, Setsuna turned her gaze toward the house opposite hers—Yagura's residence.

They were less than ten meters apart.

At Obito's current pace, he'd reach that house in less than half a minute.

A shadow appeared silently behind Setsuna.

"Lady Setsuna, shall I intervene if needed?"

Setsuna turned to face Hokujo Kurohisen.

"No, just ensure my safety at the critical moment."

Kurotsuru nodded solemnly.

"Understood. I'm prepared."

"Good."

Setsuna turned back, watching as the space nearby began to warp.
