Konoha's Nine-tailed.
Hidden Cloud's Two-tailed and Eight-tailed.
Hidden Rock's Four-tailed and Five-tailed.
Hidden Mist's Three-tailed and Six-tailed.
Hidden Sand's One-tailed.
If their goal in monitoring the Five Great Nations' Ninja Villages is to collect the Tailed Beasts and revive the Divine Tree Ten-tailed, then they would have an excuse for monitoring the Five Great Nations.
But this mystery faction must be short of combat power; otherwise, they would not be monitoring but directly plundering the Tailed Beasts from the major Ninja Villages.
Therefore, the overall combat strength of this mystery faction cannot compete head-on with the Ninja Villages of the Five Great Nations.
This is good news.
As long as it's not a clash with the Five Great Nations' level of Ninja Village combat power, Hakushi still has confidence in winning.
Although there is also a lack of combat power on his side, it is only a shortage of middle and lower-tier personnel. Hakushi believes that, in terms of top-tier combat power, he still has a certain foundation.
At least, conquering the Ninja Villages of small countries isn't impossible.
The problem is how to force this mystery faction out of the shadows and eradicate them swiftly and completely, removing any future threats.
If the opponent keeps hiding like this, Hakushi cannot keep spreading his energy on such matters.
He should find an appropriate time to clear out the enemies lurking in the shadows.
"Uchiha Obito..."
Hakushi murmured this name.
Recalling Obito's naively simple face, he couldn't help but smile.
That guy is probably spending every day in Konoha entangled with old ladies.
Such an interesting kid.
"The intense love turning into negative emotions is the core factor that stimulates the rapid growth of the Sharingan in Uchiha Race ninjas. Subsequently, the Uchiha Race's ninjas' personalities tend to be distorted to a certain extent, falling into darkness, viewing the world with incredibly pessimistic and extreme perspectives..."
Hakushi showed a thoughtful look.
"The person who plans around Obito must be someone very familiar with Uchiha, possibly even a ninja from the Uchiha Race."
But Ruri said that there was only a clear record of leaving Konoha by Uchiha Madara back then.
And Uchiha Madara has already been confirmed dead, having been defeated and killed by the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, at the Valley of the End—this is a universally recognized truth in the Ninja Realm, with high credibility.
If that's the case, then who could it be?
After all, someone who understands the Sharingan changes to such an extent is very likely a ninja from the Uchiha Race.
"Speaking of which, what do they plan for Obito's Sharingan, and what will they make him do next?"
It would be better to directly find Jonin from the Uchiha Race to ambush and extract the Three Tomoe Sharingan from those Jonin Uchiha.
If Obito's Sharingan evolves later to only be a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, it would be a pure waste of time.
Then, is it to make Obito awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan?
"..."
Regarding how the Mangekyo Sharingan is awakened, Hakushi isn't particularly knowledgeable.
The methods are varied.
Witnessing the death of a loved one is a powerful hypothesis for awakening eyes.
If there's someone most important to Obito, only one person comes to Hakushi's mind—Nohara Rin.
"In any case, with the current lack of information, let's first lure the snake out of its hole and try to probe these people's trump cards."
Previously, when I let the Earth General and Water Dragon God probe, the enemy likely already realized it was me orchestrating this from behind the scenes after such a long time.
There are certainly some records of myself in Konoha, as well as information about the Earth General and various avatars. Moreover, the person behind the mystery faction monitors Konoha heavily, so they likely know something by now.
"Speaking of which, Ruri has been saying recently that her hands are itching and she wants to find someone to test her strength. Giving her something to do wouldn't be bad either."
