Chapter 345 Bai Ye, are you really a descendant of Uzumaki?
Facing the attacking Obito, Zabuza gritted his teeth and swung his sword at the former.

Obito dodged Zabuza's attack with just a flash, then he moved sideways and punched Zabuza in the stomach.

The violent impact caused Zabuza to retreat several meters. He knelt on one knee and looked at Obito in front of him.

Obito's strength is not exaggerated. If he were in his prime, he would be able to make some defense, but after the battle with the Fourth Mizukage, his physical strength is only one tenth of what it was.

You can still barely maintain your advantage when facing an enemy weaker than you, but if you encounter a stronger enemy you will have no choice but to take the beating.

After seeing Zabuza was injured, Haku and Kimimaro hurried over to support him, then stood in front of Zabuza, staring at Obito in front of him.

He glanced at the ice blade in Bai's hand, then at the bone blade in Kimimaro's hand.

Obito frowned subconsciously. He could see that there was something wrong with the two men's physical condition, but he couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

Shun went up and after fighting with the two for a few rounds, Obito realized the problem.

No wonder there was a familiar aura on these two people. It turned out that White Zetsu was possessed by them. Black Zetsu, this traitor, actually transferred part of the control of White Zetsu to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye also let White Zetsu possess these two ninjas to deal with the Fourth Mizukage whom he had trained.

Does Bai Ye really want to take credit for this? He was clearly responsible for recovering the three-tailed and six-tailed creatures.

However, this is not a bad thing. The faster Byakuya collects the tailed beasts, the faster the Moon Eye Plan can be executed. Once the tailed beasts are successfully collected, Byakuya will die.

After calming down a little, Obito looked at the people from the Mist Village in front of him again.

His goal had been achieved, so it was okay to leave the Hidden Mist Village at this time. However, accidentally killing a few Mist Ninjas before leaving would also be a good choice.

Thinking of this, Obito launched another attack.

This time, Obito directly entered the state of hollowing. Neither Haku's ice blade nor Kimimaro's bone spurs could hurt Obito at all.

After seeing this scene, Baihe Kimimaro frowned.

After obtaining the blessing of the Wood Release Seed, they thought they had become very strong and could participate in the peak competition of the Hidden Mist Village and fight against the tailed beasts.

But in front of the real mastermind, they couldn't even touch each other.

Mei Terumi condensed a large amount of acid and wanted to use it to break Obito's defense, but Obito still dodged it. Obito was like a ghost and had no physical existence at all.

At this time, Qing, who had been observing for a long time, spoke:
"The masked man's chakra disappeared. He may have mastered some kind of space-time ability and hid his body in another dimension. All our attacks are ineffective."

Mei Terumi asked, "Then how should we deal with him?"

Qing thought for a moment, then said, "The time-space ability is not invincible. He hides his body in the alien space and is immune to our attacks, but he also cannot launch an attack. As long as we keep an eye on him, he will leave the alien space sooner or later."

After hearing this, Obito's expression changed instantly.

What is going on in the ninja world now? Why can he be seen through as soon as he performs ninjutsu? Is his ability of time and space so obvious?
In order not to expose the five-minute duration of the Hollow, Obito took the initiative to cancel it.

After walking to the center of the crowd, Obito sighed softly:
"I originally wanted to continue to play tricks on you with my transformation, but I didn't expect you to see through me. So I can only keep it a secret and kill you all."

After saying that, Obito raised his palm, performed the Insertion Technique, and began a close combat.

Mei Terumi was approached and didn't even have time to resist before her clothes were torn by the penetration technique, leaving a clear blood mark on her skin. Qing, who was standing next to her, was pierced in the thigh, reducing her ability to move.

In just a few moments, half of the Mist Ninjas present fell down, and the remaining ones lost their combat effectiveness.

Bai and Kimimaro were about to resist, but they found that the chakra in the Wood Release Seed had been used up. The only ones left with the fighting power on the entire battlefield were Biwa Juzo and Zabuza.

Looking at these vulnerable ninjas, Obito sneered:
"You talk big, but your strength is not that good. If you don't have any secret killer weapons, I can only kill you one by one and regain control of the Hidden Mist Village."

"Anyway, your Mizukage has been a puppet for the past ten years or so."

At this point, Obito laughed out loud, and his laughter was very wanton and arrogant.

Facing Obito's ridicule, the faces of the Mist Ninjas present were all very ugly, but at the moment they had lost most of their combat capabilities. Even if they continued to resist, they would only leave one more name on the list of rebel ninjas.

But if they fail, the Hidden Mist Village will return to the past and nothing will change.

The Hidden Mist Village will still implement the cruel blood mist policy, causing the Mist Ninjas to fall into serious internal friction since the beginning of the Ninja School. After becoming a ninja and joining the team, they will be wary and suspicious of their companions, and eventually attack each other.

This is not the kind of life they want to see, and the Hidden Mist Village should not be like this.

Thinking of this, Zabuza stood up with difficulty. He walked towards Obito with a knife in hand, leaving a trail of blood behind him. When he got close to Obito, he raised his head and said with a smile:

"Don't underestimate Kirigakure. Even if the Mizukage becomes your puppet, an evil demon like me will appear and chop off the Mizukage's head."

Obito glanced at Zabuza and threw a wooden thorn at random.

For him, killing Zabuza at this moment was like crushing an ant. It all depended on his mood.

At this moment, Zabuza reminded him of himself in Kamiya-bihashi, which made him feel a little disgusted. The rule of the ninja world is that the strong prey on the weak, and any resistance is ineffective in the face of absolute strength.

Only in dreams can ninjas become absolutely strong and achieve eternal peace.

At this moment, the wooden spike that was halfway in flight was intercepted by a black-haired figure.

Zabuza looked at the newcomer with some surprise, sighed and said: "I didn't expect that I would still have to rely on your help in the end. I and the Hidden Mist Village have let you down."

The black-haired figure shook his head and then said, "You and the Mist Ninja performed very well and successfully lured out the masked man. Leave the rest to me. This is the grudge between him and me, and also the grudge between our families."

After a pause, the black-haired figure looked at Baihe Kimimaro and said:
"Haku, Kimimaro, here are some scrolls and potions containing medical ninjutsu. Let the injured ninja take them first, and then retreat to the back."

Shiraha Kimimaro took the scroll and potion and retreated to rescue others.

After completing all this, the black-haired figure looked at Obito not far away and activated the Flickering Technique.

The black-haired figure was none other than Byakuya, who had been watching the battle for a long time. When Obito appeared, Byakuya arrived near the battlefield.

But he did not take action immediately, but observed the strength of Obito and the people of Kirigakure. He did not appear to save Zabuza until all the Kirigakure ninjas were defeated and Zabuza was about to be killed. This way, he could maximize Zabuza's favor and make the operation of conquering Kirigakure smoother.

He instantly appeared next to Obito, who frowned and stared at Bai Ye.

He didn't expect that Bai Ye didn't disguise himself this time and appeared in public in his true appearance. Is there any deep meaning behind this action?

After the two sides stared at each other for a few seconds, Bai Ye said loudly:

"Masked man, after hiding for so many years, you finally showed up. After we left Konoha, we have been looking for you all the way from the Land of Fire to the Land of Clouds."

"I didn't expect you to have been hiding in the Hidden Mist Village and secretly manipulating the Fourth Mizukage."

"But the Fourth Mizukage has been defeated, and I have blocked you here. It is time to settle the decades-long feud between our two families. All descendants of Uchiha Madara must be eliminated."

Obito looked at Bai Ye with confusion in his eyes.

He is the descendant of Uchiha Madara, but is Bai Ye crazy today? Why do you want to eliminate the descendant of Uchiha Madara? There is no grudge between the Uchiha clan and the Uzumaki clan.

Before Obito could think too much, Byakuya rushed over and started with the Tree World Descend.

Countless vines sprang up from the ground, instantly turning the lake into a forest and completely changing the surrounding terrain.

Facing Byakuya's attack, Obito did not dare to be careless. Byakuya had defeated him three times before and was the ninja in the entire ninja world who knew Kamui best besides him.

Is Bai Ye going to kill me today and carry out the Moon Eye Plan alone?
Gritting his teeth and fighting for a few rounds, Obito gradually came to his senses. With the help of the cover of the tree world, he asked Bai Ye:

"Bai Ye, what is your plan for coming to the Hidden Mist Village this time? Tell me so I can cooperate with you."

Bai Ye rushed towards Obito again and said seriously:

"What Bai Ye? What's the plan? Evil descendant of Uchiha Madara, I'm here to strangle you today. Your evil plan has threatened the entire ninja world!"

"As a descendant of the Senju, I must eliminate this threat of yours and restore peace to the ninja world."

Obito was somewhat speechless. After performing the Hollow Transformation to dodge the Insertion Technique, he frowned and said, "Bai Ye, I remember that you are a descendant of the Uzumaki clan. When did you become a member of the Senju clan?"

"And you have subjugated so many Uchiha. You are the leader of the Uchiha."

Bai Ye looked at Obito without changing his expression and said disapprovingly:

"I don't understand what you are saying. Wasn't the Uchiha clan exterminated by Uchiha Itachi? What does it have to do with me?"

"And as a descendant of the Senju, I already have evidence that you started the Nine-Tails Rebellion and controlled the Mizukage. I cannot betray the wishes of my ancestors and flirt with the heir of Uchiha Madara."

Seeing that Byakuya pretended not to know him, Obito had to use his last trump card:

"If you continue to act crazy and stupid, I will tell everything to Lord Black Zetsu, and at the same time, expose the information that Danzo is Shisui to the entire ninja world."

Hearing this, Bai Ye stopped, looked at Obito and said:

"Masked man, by exposing Shisui's information, do you no longer want to hunt the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki? Or do you no longer want to work in the Akatsuki organization and plan to go out and work on your own?"

"I don't…"

Obito retorted, then seemed to remember something and continued:

"What exactly is your plan this time? With your intelligence network, you should know that the Hidden Mist Village is under my control. As long as I find a suitable opportunity, I can take action against the Three-Tails and Six Paths and complete the organization's mission."

Bai Ye looked at Obito and said:

"Your plan seems perfect, but it has many loopholes. The Three-Tails Jinchuriki is the Fourth Mizukage. Your action against the Fourth Mizukage will definitely alert the Hidden Mist Village. The successive disappearances of the tailed beasts will also alert the five major ninja villages. When we collect the tailed beasts, the resistance will be very great."

Obito frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "What good ideas do you have? You have to attack the Hidden Mist Village? Do you know that your actions have exposed me and the Tailed Beast Plan? How can I carry out the mission in the future?"

Bai Ye continued:

"Your identity has long been exposed. In the future, I plan to expose you and the Tailed Beast Project to the vision of all major ninja villages, so that all major ninja villages will know that there is an organization that is secretly collecting tailed beasts."

"Why?" Obito stared at Byakuya with dissatisfaction. He believed that Byakuya's behavior was the result of being possessed by a demon.

Bai Ye looked at Obito and then smiled:

"Once the plan to collect the tailed beasts begins, how long do you think you can hide from the major ninja villages? It would be better to expose the plan in advance so that the five major ninja villages will focus their attention on you."

"This time I am confronting you in the name of the Senju, just to let the ninja world know that you and I are enemies. In the future, when you launch an attack on the Jinchūriki, I may take the opportunity to infiltrate the five major ninja villages."

"The safest place is the most dangerous place. The five major ninja villages will never think of this."

After listening to Byakuya's plan, Obito fell into deep thought.

Bai Ye’s plan was very good, but the only flaw was that he had to hide in the dark and attract hatred in the name of Uchiha Madara’s successor.

And Bai Ye can appear in the sun openly and become a hero who resists the Moon Eye Project.

As if he had guessed what Obito was thinking, Byakuya said slowly:
"Actually, I don't want to pretend to be a Senju and act as an undercover agent in one of the five major ninja villages, but you have attacked Konoha Village and controlled the Fourth Mizukage, and you happen to be the successor of Uchiha Madara. You are the perfect person to attract hatred."

After a pause, Bai Ye continued, "Don't hesitate any longer. Don't you want to become the organization's greatest contributor? This is the best opportunity."

Obito pondered for a long time and said, "Since you have prepared a plan in advance, why didn't you tell me in advance? Is there no trust between us?"

Bai Ye nodded and said:
"Of course there is no trust between us. I have always cooperated with you in my true identity, but you have always been wearing a mask. I don't even know who you are, the descendant of Uchiha Madara, or Uchiha Madara himself."

"My identity is not important, and I have long forgotten the past."

Obito looked at Bai Ye and asked in a dark tone: "Also, it's true that I am wearing a mask, but I know very well that I am an Uchiha, but are you, the descendant of Uzumaki, really a descendant of Uzumaki?"
