Obito Reborn With Double Kamui

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Uchiha Madara Senses an Anomaly

After speaking to Shisui, Obito turned his strange gaze toward Fugaku, "Clan Leader Fugaku, I wonder, what is the reason for calling Shisui here this time?"

Uchiha Fugaku coughed a few times, his face slightly flushed, "It's nothing major. I just heard that Senior Kagami's descendant has been performing well at the Academy. As an elder, I wanted to show some concern."

Obito gave Fugaku a disdainful look. He understood immediately—he had heard that another Uchiha genius had emerged at the Academy, so he suddenly remembered that this genius had an impressive ancestor…

'Hah, hypocrite.'

Not wanting to stay any longer, Obito stood up and said, "Then, Clan Leader Fugaku, we'll meet again next time. I still have a mission to carry out outside the village. As for the scroll you promised me, I can go retrieve it from the storage myself."

Seeing this, Fugaku nodded and tossed Obito a token, "This is the Uchiha clan's storage token. With this, you can freely enter and exit. If you ever need anything in the future, just take it yourself. The storage has plenty—take as much as you want, just make a backup record."

Obito was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected Fugaku to give him this token. This was an Elder's Token, something that only a handful of people in the entire Uchiha clan possessed.

Noticing Obito's reaction, Fugaku smiled, "What's wrong, newly appointed Eighth Elder? You don't want to be an elder of our Uchiha clan?"

Obito snorted, "I'm indeed not interested in the elder's position, but abusing authority for personal gain doesn't sound too bad. Since you're giving it to me, I'll take it."

Everyone present, except for the completely clueless Itachi, felt a bit embarrassed.

'Hey, did you have to say "abusing authority for personal gain" so openly?'

Especially Shisui—he now completely ruled out the possibility that Obito was Fugaku's illegitimate son. No way an illegitimate child could make Fugaku this generous, 'Could it be… this guy is actually Fugaku's father?'

Regardless of what Shisui was thinking, Obito took the token without hesitation and left.

Fugaku watched his departing figure and revealed a satisfied smirk, his scheme had worked. Now that Obito had boarded the Uchiha clan's ship, getting off wouldn't be so easy.

Wealth and power meant little compared to a nine-year-old with the Mangekyō Sharingan. If Obito weren't still so young, Fugaku might have even considered handing over the clan leadership to him…

Meanwhile, at the Uchiha Clan's Exclusive Supply Storage

This place was the heart of the Uchiha clan, guarded only by the strongest.

Two guards with Three Tomoe Sharingan active at all times blocked Obito's path, "Kid, stop right there. This isn't a place you can enter."

Obito glanced at the two of them. Oh? Weren't they the same guys who had blocked his way in his past life when he helped Itachi wipe out the Uchiha? He had taken them both down with a single iron chain…

With people like these, talking was pointless. Obito released a trace of killing intent and immediately flashed the token, "What, you're not planning to let me through?"

Both guards were shocked, 'This is an Elder's Token! How can a mere child have it?'

But more shocking than the token was Obito's killing intent— it even made them feel a hint of fear.

The two exchanged glances before silently stepping aside.

A mere token might not have been enough to make them retreat, but knowing that Obito was not someone to be trifled with, they wouldn't be true Uchihas if they still insisted on provoking him. That would just make them fools.

Obito sneered. At least they had some sense. With confident strides, he walked straight into the storage.

He took ten sealing scrolls, along with a large number of top-quality kunai and shuriken. Then, after thinking for a moment, he decided against emptying out the entire storage.

Not that he couldn't bring himself to do it, but if he took too much at once, it might affect the Uchiha clan's future support for the Akatsuki, which would be counterproductive.

So, he only took what he needed and then left…

Meanwhile, Far from Konoha, in the Land of Grass, Near Kannabi Bridge

Deep underground, in a hidden cavern—

An old man, covered in tubes from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, was roused from his slumber by two chattering White Zetsu.

Uchiha Madara opened his eyes, revealing his Three Tomoe Sharingan, "Speak. What information is it this time? Didn't I tell you not to disturb my sleep unless it was important?"

The White Zetsu with the Uzumaki face giggled, "This time, it's definitely big news—the Third Shinobi War is about to start."

Madara's eyes showed a hint of disdain, "I predicted that long ago."

Then, he murmured, "Hashirama, as expected, you were wrong. In just a few decades after your passing, the Shinobi World has already erupted in countless wars, with more deaths than even during the Warring States Period…"

After a moment of silence, he continued, "What else? You wouldn't have woken me up just for a war."

Another White Zetsu added, "Of course there's more. Madara, that kid you had us watch—Obito—his recent actions are quite unexpected."

This finally got Madara's attention, "Oh? Tell me the details."

White Zetsu said, "That kid is indeed passionate, just as you said. But… he's not just passionate, he's also highly talented. He graduated as the top student from the Academy. He doesn't seem like a fool at all."

Madara was slightly surprised, 'I didn't expect that brat to take first place. That's unexpected.'

"But… it's just an Academy top rank. He wasn't entirely weak before—he was just overshadowed by that Kakashi."

Madara wasn't concerned. The one he had chosen couldn't possibly have poor talent.

Opening the Mangekyō required not just emotional stimulation but also the right bloodline. Obito had been thoroughly vetted and was the most outstanding Uchiha candidate in every aspect.

The Uzumaki-faced White Zetsu giggled, "Then, Madara, wouldn't it be normal for him to become an Elder of the Uchiha clan?"

"What?", Madara's eyes widened instantly, "Zetsu, this time you've actually brought me some useful news."

He then fell into deep thought, 'How did Obito suddenly become an Elder of the Uchiha clan? That doesn't make sense. Did the current Uchiha leaders lose their minds?'

"Did you investigate the reason behind his appointment as an Elder?"

The Uzumaki-faced White Zetsu nodded, "More or less. After graduating, he accepted Clan Leader Fugaku's invitation and had tea at his house."

"We didn't dare get too close at the time to avoid being noticed. But after Obito left, Fugaku suddenly ordered an investigation into three people—Madara, you'll definitely find them interesting."

Madara frowned, "Who?"

"Hehehe, Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato."

Madara was slightly surprised, "Could it be that Fugaku has caught onto something?"

White Zetsu shook his head, "Not at all. Fugaku didn't investigate anything related to the Rinnegan. Instead, he was looking into a newly formed organization called the Akatsuki, as well as whether those three were Jiraiya's students."

Madara nodded, "Why is Fugaku investigating this? Did the information come from Obito?"

White Zetsu replied, "Possibly. Fugaku's main purpose in this seems to be supporting the Akatsuki while working with Hanzo the Salamander and also maintaining good relations with Jiraiya."

Madara, being a sharp strategist, quickly realized that this move would greatly benefit the Uchiha.

"Hmph, what a well-played scheme. But this level of planning isn't something that idiot Fugaku could come up with. So the plan originated from Obito… When did he become so intelligent?", Madara's expression grew serious.

"But that alone isn't enough to make Obito an Elder. In the Uchiha clan, Elders are either senior members with high status or those with extraordinary power—such as possessing the Mangekyō."

"Could it be… for some unknown reason, Obito has awakened the Mangekyō? Impossible. He's only, what, a few years old?"
