Looking at the bewildered Rin Nohara, Obito wanted to explain but didn't know how.
There was nothing he could do!
Uchiha Jin was her husband, and if Rin Nohara herself didn't care, wouldn't he, an outsider, just seem meddlesome?
But, damn it.
Thinking of the woman he loved being treated like this by Uchiha Jin, while he didn't even have a legitimate reason to be angry, he was so furious he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the end,
Rin Nohara didn't say much either, only briefly explaining the nonsense about the Kaguya family that Uchiha Jin had told her, especially the purpose of Black Zetsu's existence.
Her purpose was also simple!
She wanted Obito to calm down and accept that he was just a pawn, and that the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi was not beautiful.
Twenty minutes later.
Looking at Obito's blank face and lifeless eyes, Rin Nohara knew that saying more right now would be useless, so with a sigh, she left with Kakashi.
The two felt it was better to give Obito some time to slowly accept all this before visiting him again.
...
Meanwhile, in the Hokage Office.
Uchiha Jin, who was lazily drinking tea to pass the time, suddenly received a message from the primordial tower.
The cooldown for the transmigration function had finally ended!
[Anchor point determined. Beginning coordinate establishment...]
[Coordinate establishment complete. Constructing stable pathway...]
[Construction successful. Scanning and gathering basic intelligence.]
[Gathering successful!]
[Spatial Coordinate: Plane 001 (modifiable). Timeline: Year 58 of Konoha, the day of the Uchiha Massacre Night, 3:45 PM.]
[Pathway linked successfully. Time flow completely synchronized.]
[Because the transmigration pathway has just been successfully linked, it is currently in an extremely unstable state. Consuming destiny can increase its stability.]
[Currently capable of supporting one Jonin-level Ninja. In half a year, it can support one Kage-level expert. In one year, it can support one Super Kage Level expert. In three years, it can support one Six Paths Level expert.]
[Would you like to consume destiny points to stabilize the spatial pathway?]
Along with the system prompt from the primordial tower, Jin's mind couldn't help but explode.
What the actual fuck...
He originally thought he could transmigrate right away, but to his surprise, according to the primordial tower's estimates, he would have to wait at least three years to go over himself.
Right now, it can only send one Jonin?
Are you kidding me?!
Since that side happened to be on the night of the massacre, he definitely had to try and save the Uchiha, using the Uchiha Clan of that world as a foothold. Only then could he rise and rule over there more quickly, absorbing destiny points at a faster rate.
But the problem now was, what the hell was the use of sending a single Jonin?!
Could a Jonin beat Itachi?
Not to mention, even if they dealt with Uchiha Itachi, they would still have to withstand the Root and even Hiruzen Sarutobi afterward!
'Consume destiny!'
Having made up his mind, Uchiha Jin immediately communicated with the primordial tower.
In the next second,
Out of his meager ninety thousand destiny points, a whopping eighty thousand were instantly consumed just to barely allow a Kage-level expert to pass through.
Next, who should he send?
His first candidate was—Tsunade!
After all, she was the sole remaining descendant of the Senju Clan. As long as she was willing to step up and shield the Uchiha, even Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura wouldn't dare to easily deal a fatal blow to Tsunade!
As long as Tsunade could buy some time, she could change the Uchiha's doomed fate, and his side would definitely gain a portion of destiny.
Once the pathway here stabilized further, they could dispatch other powerful experts over.
But, no!
Tsunade's so-called special status during that period came at the cost of her not interfering in Konoha's affairs. Moreover, at that stage, the support rate of Konoha's various Ninja Clans for Hiruzen Sarutobi was still very high.
Even if they supported Tsunade in their hearts, they wouldn't rebel against Konoha for her sake!
If Tsunade dared to forcefully support the Uchiha, that cunning old schemer Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely dare to let Danzo quietly kill her. Afterward, he would shed a few tears, furiously denounce Danzo, and finally say that considering Danzo's contributions to Konoha, his death penalty was pardoned but his punishment was inescapable...
He would strip him of his Elder position, Hokage's Advisor position, and Root Leader position, and then lock him up to completely settle the matter!
Without a doubt...
To protect his position as Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi would absolutely do it!
Did people really think Tsunade left the Village voluntarily?
She was fleeing for her life!
If she hadn't left, she would have died!
So from this perspective, Tsunade was clearly unsuitable for this mission.
Then—what about Orochimaru?
With his abilities, protecting a portion of the Uchiha in secret was doable, but over there, he was still just a Rogue Ninja in name, and had no way to forcefully protect the entire Uchiha Clan.
Kakashi? Don't be ridiculous!
At that stage, his prestige wasn't enough, and to be honest, his strength was also a bit lacking.
Who else was there?
Might Guy's combat capability was certainly enough—once he opened the Eight Gates, anyone would have to kneel. The catch was that aside from his strength, he was absolutely terrible at everything else!
He couldn't possibly send Ōnoki and the others, right?
Ōnoki's strength was indeed sufficient, and his mind and planning were fine in all aspects, but damn it, he was the Kage of Iwagakure!
A Kage running into a hostile Ninja Village in the middle of the night?
That would only unite the entirety of Konoha against him. No matter how strong Ōnoki was, it would be pointless!
So...
After weighing his options, Uchiha Jin seemed to have no choice but to send an Uchiha first.
But, damn it!
Although he himself was born an Uchiha, when it came to the brains of the other Uchiha, he really didn't dare to entrust such a major matter to them!
It couldn't be helped.
These Uchiha had issues with their heads. He was truly afraid that as soon as they went over and saw the Uchiha's situation, they would get hot-headed and charge straight into the Hokage Building.
Unfortunately, though...
Aside from the Uchiha, although Konoha was currently full of talent, he really couldn't find anyone else suitable.
There were plenty of Kage-level combatants—those from the Akatsuki Organization, the ones who had just joined from Other Ninja Villages, and those Konoha had trained themselves...
But their strength was only enough for self-preservation; they couldn't protect anyone else at all. After all, whoever went over would have to face the pincer attack of Itachi and Obito, plus the latent threats of the Root and Hiruzen Sarutobi...
Even Konoha natives like Tsunade and Orochimaru could, at best, only protect a small portion.
No matter how he looked at it, none of them seemed quite right!
In the end,
After pondering for a long time, Uchiha Jin slapped the table.
"Call Shisui here!"
"Yes!"
An Anbu member emerged from a dark corner, knelt on one knee, bowed in acknowledgment, and then, with a pop, dispelled his Shadow Clone.
Not long after,
Shisui, who was far away in the Central War Zone, stepped out of the Flying Thunder God formation looking travel-worn, and then hurried to the Hokage Office.
"Hokage-sama!"
"Mm, I have a mission for you."
"Please give your orders, I guarantee it will be done."
"I have discovered a new plane, which is quite similar to our Ninja World. I need you to go and save the Uchiha."
Uchiha Jin didn't waste any words.
He briefly introduced the situation of the other Ninja World, and then stated what he needed Shisui to do.
"Stop Uchiha Itachi, and watch out for Obito in the shadows."
"Even if you can't solve the Uchiha's problem, buy as much time as possible."
"In fact..."
Fearing that Shisui might be too naive, Uchiha Jin even provided a detailed plan.
"For example, after stopping Itachi and Obito and waiting for those two fools to leave, how to use ruthless means to intimidate the Uchiha, thereby gaining command of the entire Uchiha Clan, and then using the Uchiha to threaten Konoha..."
"To put it bluntly!"
"There was no need to change the Uchiha's current state; you only need to stabilize the Uchiha's situation and wait until our side can send more people over."
