Chapter 292 Remember, I am the leader of Akatsuki
Upon hearing that it was Black Zetsu who helped Byakuya master Wood Release, Obito suspected that the two were secretly colluding with each other. Otherwise, why would Black Zetsu give such a powerful weapon as Wood Release to Byakuya?

After careful consideration, Obito dispelled this doubt.

In the impression of ninjas in the ninja world, Wood Release is a legendary escape technique, a bloodline limit that only the first Hokage, Hashirama Senju, has mastered. Any ninja who has awakened Wood Release is a rare talent that only appears once in a century.

But this is not the case for him and old man Ban.

After old man Madara awakened the legendary Rinnegan, gained the power of all things, and created the special life White Zetsu, the difficulty of transplanting Wood Release has been reduced a lot.

As long as one has mastered a certain degree of Yin and Yang escape techniques, and possesses a physique far superior to that of ordinary people, transplanting Wood escape techniques becomes an extremely simple and risk-free task.

As for his understanding of Byakuya, although Obito was very reluctant, he also admitted that Byakuya was a rare genius in the ninja world, whose talent far surpassed Kakashi and better than so-called geniuses such as Itachi and Shisui.

After all, Itachi and Shisui were called geniuses back in the day, but they were only considered by the world to have the potential to become the Sannin.

Bai Ye has possessed strength close to that of the Three Ninjas from the very beginning. Even he is not sure he can completely defeat Bai Ye after he has grown to this level.

But it was impossible for him to willingly hand over the spoils to Bai Ye.

If he gave in to Bai Ye again this time, he would really become Bai Ye's subordinate and would completely lose the control of the Moon Eye Project.

After making the decision in his mind, Obito flashed and pounced towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye glanced at Obito from the corner of his eye and said lightly: "It is a taboo of the organization to attack your companions. Are you really sure you want to attack me?"

Obito didn't reply. He was looking for Byakuya's weakness, ready to attack at any time.

After several attempts to release his Hollow Form, Obito still didn't find a good opportunity to attack Byakuya. Instead, due to the frequent use of his eye techniques, his physical strength declined rapidly.

After swinging the sword and piercing through Obito's body, Byakuya chuckled and said:

"Masked man, although your Hollow form makes you immune to all attacks, you must materialize in order to cause harm to me. As long as I have this information, I will be invincible in front of you."

"I think the Fourth Hokage defeated you in the same way..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Apart from your space-time abilities, your taijutsu and ninjutsu aren't particularly outstanding. I have reason to suspect that before Lord Black Zetsu recruited you, you were the last in a ninja school."

The evaluation of being the last one hurt Obito's heart deeply.

After he released himself from the void, he raised the wooden spike and stabbed towards Bai Ye, but suddenly he felt that his movements had become much slower.

Quickly distancing himself from him, Obito looked at Bai Ye with caution.

He didn't know where the strangeness in his body came from. He had been clearly in a virtual state the whole time, and even when he came out of the virtual state, it was only when he was very far away from Bai Ye.

Seeing this scene, Bai Ye stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly: "I remember I once told you that space-time ninjutsu is not invincible. I have many ways to deal with your abilities."

"Placing detonating talismans at your place of residence in advance is one method. Secretly changing the surrounding environment to create a situation that is favorable to me is also another method."

"After clearing out the surrounding trash, I secretly released anesthetic gas. Although this anesthetic gas will not cause fatal damage to the human body, it can reduce the ninja's reaction ability."

"Do you feel weak in your hands and feet now, and even it is difficult to mobilize chakra?" Listening to Bai Ye's talk, Obito's face became extremely ugly. After being defeated by Bai Ye's two consecutive detonating tags and the Fourth Hokage's second stage Flying Thunder God, his desire to attack became much more cautious.

He would not attack rashly without absolute certainty.

However, even with his caution, he still fell into Bai Ye's trap. Bai Ye said that he would defeat him with ninjutsu and taijutsu, but he was secretly poisoning him.

As time went on, Obito could clearly feel his physical strength declining.

If the paralyzing poison is not removed in time, he can only hold on for a dozen seconds at most before being forced to release the state of emptiness.

Walking step by step to Obito's side, Byakuya floated in the air and said to Obito in a condescending manner:

"Masked man, I know you have a lot of little ideas and are secretly developing your own power."

"I sent ninjas to investigate the Hidden Mist Village several times and found that the Fourth Mizukage issued a lot of ridiculous policies. Not only did he issue a policy of isolation, he also implemented a large-scale purge of bloodline families in the Hidden Mist Village."

"Most importantly, I also heard that the Fourth Mizukage has not left the Hidden Mist Village for several years in a row."

"Do you think the Fourth Mizukage suddenly became a nerd who studies ninjutsu, or is there some special reason why he can't leave the Hidden Mist Village?"

After a pause, Bai Ye's tone gradually became sharp:

"Masked man, I have no objection to you secretly cultivating your power. After all, you and I have the same goal of resurrecting the Ten-Tails. But in addition to this identity, you are also a member of the Akatsuki organization and are under my command."

"I hope that next time we meet, you will show some humility and understand who is the main force in resurrecting the Ten-Tails and who is the leader of the Akatsuki organization."

Having said that, Bai Ye casually threw out a bottle of pills, glanced in the direction of Shisui, and said expressionlessly:

"This contains a potion that removes the paralysis poison. Take it and continue your mission."

"After this Uchiha special operation is over, I want to see the mission report you asked White Zetsu to send, as well as a review of no less than 500 words."

After saying that, Bai Ye left Obito with a livid face and disappeared into the night sky.

Obito, who stayed where he was, had a gloomy look on his face. He was humiliated by Byakuya again. Byakuya not only revealed the secret of how he developed his power in the Hidden Mist Village, but also asked him to write a mission report and review of this operation.

Since being rescued by old man Ban, when has he ever written a mission report?

In front of Black Zetsu, he is the executor of the Moon Eye Project. In front of the Kirigakure Ninja, he is the mysterious Fourth Mizukage, who holds the power of life and death.

In front of Uchiha Itachi, he is the mysterious masked man, the legendary Uchiha Madara.

Obito became more and more angry the more he thought about it, so he punched the wall, leaving spider-web-like marks on the wall, and his fist also broke the skin and bled.

Just when Uchiha Obito was about to continue venting, he saw Uchiha Itachi rushing towards here, and quickly controlled his expression and walked towards him as if nothing had happened.
