Chapter 108: Obito: I Will Never Acknowledge Her as an Uchiha!
As he spoke.
A piece of white paper wrapped around a long, strip-shaped object flew out from the entrance of the Anbu Base.
Konan caught it and opened it to take a look.
It was a long black horn.
It was the biological sample of the Gold and Silver Brothers.
She didn't know which specific brother the horn belonged to, but since both brothers were of the Hagoromo clan, a horn from either would suffice.
That big oaf down below thought he was done after destroying the Paper Clone.
Little did he know that the paper controlled by Alex hadn't been damaged and had successfully brought the Kekkei Genkai sample out.
Boom!
Just then, the ice layer below completely shattered, and the Eight-Tails broke free.
Flustered and exasperated, it opened its mouth and fired a Tailed Beast Ball into the sky.
After firing one, it fired another.
It wanted to vent the humiliation and rage of being frozen.
Konan dodged the Tailed Beast Balls with ease.
Dodging the attacks of this big, clumsy brute with such predictable trajectories was as easy as pie.
Her figure flew higher and higher.
From the ground, she looked like nothing more than a small black dot. In the next second, she darted into the clouds and vanished.
Since her objective had been achieved, she naturally wouldn't waste energy fighting the A and B Brothers.
Roar!!
The Eight-Tails roared at the sky, firing Tailed Beast Balls madly.
Damn it, how could you run away!!
Bang!
The Fourth Raikage punched the Eight-Tails heavily on the forehead and shouted angrily:
"Stop! She's already gone. Don't waste Tailed Beast Balls blindly! Go back, now!!"
The Eight-Tails glared at the Fourth Raikage with its bull eyes, its rage exploding, showing signs of going berserk.
But remembering the beatings it had received in the past, its eyes instantly cleared.
It spoke in a muffled voice: "Got it."
As the words fell, the massive body, nearly a hundred meters tall, shrank rapidly like a deflating balloon.
It exited the full Tailed Beast Mode, revealing Killer B squatting on the ground, panting.
The Fourth Raikage landed. "B, how are your injuries?"
Killer B had many wounds from being pierced by ice spikes.
With the Tailed Beast chakra, they weren't fatal, but he would need medical treatment to recover faster.
"Big Brother, the injuries are no big deal." He exhaled a long breath and stood up. "It's just that she got away. I couldn't keep the enemy here."
The Fourth Raikage looked up at the high altitude, his gaze cold, his killing intent unable to be suppressed.
"Akatsuki Organization... to dare invade my Kumogakure... I will make you pay the price!!"
When he saw Konoha being destroyed earlier, he had been watching from afar, gloating over their misfortune.
Now, not long after, his own village had been attacked, and they failed to detain the intruder. He finally understood how the people of Konoha felt.
Anger. Extreme anger.
He could no longer allow the Akatsuki Organization to do as they pleased!
"Raikage-sama!"
Dodai, C, and Darui arrived in front of the Fourth Raikage together.
"B, let me treat your wounds."
C's palms glowed with green fluorescent light as he began to heal Killer B.
Dodai looked with grief at the frozen Anbu on the field and gritted his teeth. "Raikage-sama, the Anbu in the village were almost completely annihilated in this battle!"
"Bastards!!"
Boom!!
The Fourth Raikage was furious, punching and shattering a nearby frozen tree.
"Damn Akatsuki Organization! Damn White Tiger! Kumogakure will not rest until you are dead!!"
The total annihilation of the Anbu was an absolutely unbearable loss.
He hadn't been clear on the specific battle casualties earlier, but learning of them now added fuel to the fire.
Darui was equally furious, but he remained relatively calm.
Suppressing his anger, he asked, "What was White Tiger's goal in invading our village?"
"Was it just destruction? Or was it to capture the Tailed Beast?"
Dodai shook his head. "It doesn't look like it."
"She disguised herself as Samui earlier; it seemed she wanted to enter the Anbu Base."
He suddenly paused, then immediately said, "My clone just went into the basement to take inventory and discovered that one of the Gold and Silver Brothers' horns is missing. I'm afraid it was taken by White Tiger."
The Fourth Raikage frowned. "Just a horn? Are the other classified items still there?"
"Raikage-sama, aside from the one horn, everything else is intact."
Everyone was confused. White Tiger came to their village and caused such havoc just for a horn?
The corpses of the Gold and Silver Brothers had been researched thoroughly long ago.
Aside from their naturally large chakra reserves and tough bodies, there was nothing remarkable about them.
The Fourth Raikage was extremely puzzled. Why take the horn of those two traitors?
There were many more important things in the research center. Why did she ignore them in favor of a dead horn?
Even though they were high-ranking officials of Kumogakure, lacking key intelligence, they couldn't figure out the use of the horn even if they racked their brains.
The number of people in the entire ninja world who knew the secret of the Otsutsuki bloodline could be counted on one hand.
Dodai suppressed his doubts and spoke gravely, "Raikage-sama, it seems Team Samui has likely fallen into the hands of the Akatsuki Organization. It is very likely..."
He didn't finish the sentence, but the Raikage and the others understood his meaning.
The outcome was certainly grim; they were likely no longer of this world.
"Samui..."
Boom!
The enraged Raikage shattered another frozen tree.
She was a member of the Kumogakure upper echelon.
Calm, composed, and very capable—she was his right-hand woman.
The Anbu... Team Samui...
All lost to the Akatsuki Organization. The loss was unacceptable; they had to retaliate.
The Fourth Raikage radiated killing intent. "Immediately notify the other four Great Ninja Villages. Urge them to convene the Five Kage Summit as soon as possible to jointly crusade against the Akatsuki Organization!!"
The Akatsuki Organization was too dangerous, capturing Tailed Beasts unscrupulously and invading major ninja villages.
He believed the other Kage would feel the same as he did.
They would absolutely not allow such a powerful organization to exist in the ninja world.
They were the rulers of the ninja world; their authority could not be challenged.
"Yes!" Dodai took the order and hurriedly left to arrange the diplomatic teams for each village.
...
Underground Base.
Obito Uchiha lay quietly on the bed, trying to adapt to the Rinnegan.
Black Zetsu stood by the side, waiting for the latest intelligence from Kumogakure.
His small, bead-like yellow eyes flashed. After a long silence, he spoke in a raspy voice:
"Madara-sama, the battle in Kumogakure has ended."
"The result?" Obito sat up immediately, staring at Black Zetsu.
"The Kumogakure Anbu were wiped out. The A and B Brothers couldn't handle Konan either, and she left leisurely."
"That's it? What was the traitor's purpose in going to Kumogakure?"
"She took one of the Gold and Silver Brothers' horns."
Black Zetsu's heart was heavy.
The facts were just as he had guessed earlier: she was after the Gold and Silver Brothers, one of the Otsutsuki bloodlines.
Damn it! Where on earth did she learn this secret?
"A horn?" Obito was puzzled, purple ripples flashing in the Rinnegan in his left eye.
"The traitor broke into Kumogakure just for a single horn?"
"Why?"
He also lacked key intelligence and couldn't analyze Konan's objective.
"Madara-sama, Konan used a three-tomoe Sharingan during this battle."
"Impossible!" Obito stood up with a whoosh, stunned.
This news was like a thunderclap exploding in his mind. He subconsciously refuted it:
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!! She is not an Uchiha clansman; her surname is not Uchiha!!"
Obito had personally destroyed the Uchiha clan, but the pride of the Uchiha was etched into his bones.
The Sharingan was the pride among prides.
He couldn't believe that an outsider could steal the Uchiha bloodline and use a three-tomoe Sharingan freely!
Black Zetsu ruthlessly punctured Obito's fragile delusion:
"Madara-sama, don't forget, Konan couldn't use Ice Release before. But after obtaining the Yuki clan sample from Kirigakure, she could."
"She definitely has a method to fuse Kekkei Genkai. Her visit to Sasuke last time was likely for the Uchiha bloodline!"
Obito froze on the spot.
He opened his mouth, but the words were swallowed back down. Instead, he said:
"Three-tomoe Sharingan? So what... she is nothing but a traitor stealing bloodlines!! Hmph, she should never dream of becoming an Uchiha or bearing the name of Uchiha!!"
