Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito with the System

Curious, he turned his head to find that Nagato and Yahiko had already zoned out.

After hearing Konan's words, both Nagato and Yahiko instinctively held their breath, excitement and nervousness swirling in their hearts.

Who did Konan like more?

Konan, no longer wearing a teasing smile, put on a serious expression and spoke with a straight face.

"Although I have feelings for both Yahiko and Nagato, I obviously can't marry two people at the same time."

Hearing this, Yahiko and Nagato silently nodded in agreement.

It seemed that one of them was destined to have a broken heart today.

But that was fine.

At least they still had each other, both thought simultaneously.

Seeing their dejected faces, Konan couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.

"Pfft—hahaha! But who said I can't marry both of you?"

Obito: "???"

Nagato: (ω)

Yahiko: "???"

Konan threw her arms around both of them, laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

"Hahahaha! You should've seen your faces just now. Too funny!"

Watching Konan happily hugging both men, Obito's expression turned serious. He gave her a thumbs up.

"Konan truly is a role model for our generation."

In the secret base of Setsuna, a red-haired girl with round glasses anxiously glanced around.

"Karin…"

In the hall behind her, Setsuna observed the girl silently for a moment before turning to Black Zetsu.

"You pushed me to retrieve the vessel so urgently—is it for reviving Uchiha Madara?"

Black Zetsu offered a wide smile.

"You jest, Setsuna. How could I presume to dictate your actions?"

Setsuna scoffed and waved dismissively.

"Say what you want. Reviving Madara is fine, but I have a few others to bring back as well."

Black Zetsu bowed respectfully, a glint of cunning flashing in his eyes.

"Everything will proceed according to your will."

Setsuna smirked, unimpressed.

"What's the status of that woman?"

Straightening up, Black Zetsu replied, "She's been implanted with Hashirama's cells, but her body is severely overdrawn. It will take some time before she's... usable."

Setsuna nodded slightly.

"I'll go check on her. You don't need to follow."

Black Zetsu obediently sank into the ground.

"As you wish."

Setsuna approached the room where the woman was kept. When she opened the door, the woman awoke instantly.

Seeing Setsuna, her eyes filled with gratitude.

"You… You saved me. Where is this place?"

Setsuna's voice was cold.

"I only saved you because I have use for you. Don't waste your gratitude."

Hearing this, the woman's expression dimmed, but she quickly lifted her head, her tone pleading.

"You can use me however you wish. Just… please save my daughter. I'll give you my life if it means she can live."

She struggled to her feet and knelt on the floor, desperation etched across her face.

Setsuna looked down at the woman and felt a twinge of discomfort in her chest.

After a long silence, she finally spoke.

"...Very well. Your life for your daughter's, so she may live as an ordinary person."

The woman was overjoyed, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Thank you. Thank you so much!"

Setsuna's chest tightened further. She turned and left, unable to bear staying any longer.

Before leaving, she glanced back and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid I might be lying to you?"

The woman raised her head, blood trickling down her forehead but smiling through her tears.

"I don't think you would. You're different from those ninja from Kusagakure."

Setsuna slammed the door shut, her voice ringing out coldly.

"Then you're mistaken… I am no benevolent person!"

Back in her room, Setsuna picked up a novel but couldn't focus, her thoughts a chaotic mess.

"Damn it!"

She tossed the book aside and stormed out, heading toward Karin's room.

Minutes later, she pushed open the door, startling the young girl inside.

Karin flinched at first but relaxed slightly upon seeing another human.

"....where is this place?" she asked timidly.

Earlier that evening, she had been resting at home when strange figures barged in, dragging her here without explanation.

"This is not a good place. That's all you need to know," Setsuna said coolly.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she whimpered, "How could this happen?"

Clutching Setsuna's sleeve, she begged, "Please, send me back home. If my mother returns and finds me gone, she'll be so worried!"

Setsuna pulled her sleeve free, her voice icy.

"Your mother is dead. From now on, you'll stay here and go nowhere else!"

Mother… dead?!

Karin froze, her world shattering. Tears poured from her eyes like a flood.

"Waaaaah!"

For the young Karin, losing her mother was like losing the entire world.

"How annoying," Setsuna muttered, leaving the room with a flick of her sleeve. Her irritation grew with each step.

....

In Akatsuki Village, inside Nagato's office…

Obito glanced at his notebook, nodding in satisfaction.

"Yes, this plan is perfect. I'd give myself full marks, no less."

His plan involved dividing his forces into two factions: an inner group, retaining the name "Akatsuki," and an outer group he planned to call "Yoru."

(T/N: "Akatsuki" (which translates to "Dawn" or "Red Moon" in Japanese) and "Yoru" (Night).)

The two factions would have distinct roles—Akatsuki would handle diplomacy and softer approaches, while Yoru would take on the more violent tasks.

"For the inner group, I need completely trustworthy people," Obito mused aloud.

"The outer group… hehe, they can be as ruthless as they want!"

Choosing members for the outer group was easy—Nagato's original plan provided a clear blueprint, and Obito had no qualms about copying it.

But picking the inner group required more thought.

"He can join. Nagato counts too, and Konan seems interested…"

(Yahiko's too busy for this.)

"That makes three. I just need one more… Who should it be?"

Obito pondered for a while.

After some thought, a name suddenly popped into his mind, and his eyes lit up.

"Got it!"

The former Fifth Mizukage and now a rogue ninja of Kirigakure…

Mei Terumī!
