Chapter 205 - Chapter 205: Mutual Scheming

After Uchiha En dealt with the White Zetsu clones hidden underground nearby, he summoned Lightning and had it fly into Kirigakure to deliver a message to Ujiha, asking her to come out and meet him.

A few minutes later, Ujiha left Kirigakure and headed straight for Uchiha En's location.

Obito also learned about Ujiha and Uchiha En's meeting through the White Zetsu inside Kirigakure.

"So the Kirigakure high-ranking official connected to Uchiha En is the leader of the Yuki Clan. Obito, what should we do? Another purge?" Black Zetsu asked.

"Even if we purge, we'll have to wait until this matter is over. It's not certain if we can continue to control Kirigakure!" With that, Obito released his control over Yagura.

At this moment, Yagura, who had been dazed, suddenly had a spark in his eyes.

He shook his head, still a bit confused about the situation.

Suddenly, Yagura felt a massive Chakra within his body. His expression changed slightly, and he quickly checked, only to discover that the Three-Tails had been sealed inside him.

"Have I fallen under genjutsu again? This time it's that guy with the spiral mask. Who is he? Is he the same person who controlled me last time?" Yagura thought to himself.

Meanwhile, outside Kirigakure, Uchiha En and Ujiha met.

Ujiha's normally calm expression instantly became fervent upon seeing Uchiha En. She knelt on both knees, kowtowing to Uchiha En and shouting, "Master!"

"I told you, don't kneel when you see me, and don't call me Master. Get up quickly."

Hearing Uchiha En's words, Ujiha quickly got up from the ground and asked respectfully, "Lord En, did you call me for something?"

"Your Fourth Mizukage in Kirigakure has been controlled by genjutsu," Uchiha En said straightforwardly.

"What? That's impos—" Ujiha instinctively started to retort, but she stopped mid-sentence because the one telling her this news was Uchiha En.

After Ujiha's will was modified, she had only one thought: everything Uchiha En said was correct.

"Lord En, could you tell us more about this?" Ujiha quickly asked.

Uchiha En nodded and told Ujiha everything he knew.

After listening, Ujiha's expression involuntarily became serious. She had already found it strange why members of the Hōzuki Clan and Kaguya Clan had suddenly gone mad and attacked Yagura.

And Yagura hadn't given them any chance to explain, directly sweeping away these two prominent Kirigakure clans with lightning speed.

So, it was because someone was manipulating things from behind the scenes.

"Lord En, what should I do? Should I unite with other high-ranking officials in Kirigakure to expose this?" Ujiha continued to ask.

"Expose? Heh! When you came out of Kirigakure, that guy should have already released his control over Yagura. They are betting that Yagura won't expose the fact that he was controlled.

If the leader of a Village is controlled by someone else to carry out a large-scale massacre in his own Village, once this matter is exposed, it will be a huge blow to the Village, to Kirigakure, and to Yagura, possibly even shaking the very foundation of Kirigakure.

Yagura is still the Kage of a Village, and he definitely has feelings for Kirigakure, so Yagura will not proactively expose this matter.

And it's meaningless for you to go back to the Village to expose this, because Yagura's genjutsu has already been voluntarily released by them. It's pointless for you to bring people to confront Yagura."

"Then what should I do, Lord En?" Ujiha pressed.

"It's simple, attack me. Let's fight."

"Lord En—"

"You need to pretend not to trust me and fight me fiercely. After returning to the Village, don't look for anyone to expose the Fourth Mizukage.

Wait until the Fourth Mizukage's actions show some abnormality, then seize the opportunity to find someone to expose him.

If you find that the Fourth Mizukage is about to attack you in the Village, immediately release this crow, and I will come to help you." With that, Uchiha En handed a ninja crow trained by Shisui to Ujiha.

Ujiha took the ninja crow and thanked Uchiha En.

"Let's change locations now! All of their informants controlling Yagura in this vicinity have been removed by me. Let's go fight where their informants are. When I stop, you attack me." With that, Uchiha En ran forward.

Ujiha followed closely behind.

After Uchiha En ran for two minutes, he could vaguely sense a White Zetsu underground, so he stopped.

The next second, hundreds of Ice Senbon shot towards Uchiha En.

Seeing this, Uchiha En formed hand seals: "Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball instantly engulfed the Ice Senbon, and then Uchiha En put on a helpless expression and said, "Ujiha, I really didn't lie to you. Your Mizukage was controlled by a group of mysterious people. If you don't believe me, you can go back and check."

"Nonsense! Lord Mizukage is incredibly strong and a perfect Jinchuriki. It's well-known that a perfect Jinchuriki cannot be controlled. Uchiha En, your statement doesn't hold water at all," Ujiha said coldly.

"What perfect Jinchuriki! Both the Three-Tails and Yagura were clearly controlled by someone."

"That's impossible! Uchiha En, I think you're trying to sow discord among our Kirigakure high-ranking officials to create an opportunity for Konoha to invade!" With that, Ujiha continued to attack Uchiha En.

Both their conversation and battle were reported by the underground White Zetsu clone to its main body, which then informed Obito.

The first thing Obito did after hearing this was to ask White Zetsu: "White Zetsu, based on Uchiha En's discovery of your hidden clones underground these past few times, what do you think Uchiha En's sensing range is?"

"Roughly 400 to 500 meters, no more than 500 meters at most," White Zetsu replied after a moment of thought.

"Then how far away is the clone that sent us the intelligence from Uchiha En and Ujiha?" Obito continued to ask.

"It should be around 500 meters."

"This distance is very subtle!" Black Zetsu remarked from the side.

"Indeed, it's very subtle. Could Uchiha En and Ujiha be putting on an act? And with Uchiha En's strength, he shouldn't need to run from Ujiha, right?" Obito said with a frown.

"Maybe Uchiha En just doesn't want to fight Ujiha?" White Zetsu suggested.

"Forget it, thinking about this is pointless. Let's see what Ujiha does when she returns to Kirigakure. If she's really acting with us, she'll definitely try to test Yagura as soon as she gets back.

If it's not an act, then she'll most likely do nothing, and even try to cover up the fact that she left the Village to meet Uchiha En."

After hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito nodded. They currently had no way to determine if Ujiha was acting, so they could only wait until she returned to the Village.
