The next morning, I was called to the underground base. As I went there, I saw Akihiro Terumi, Hiroshi & AO standing there waiting for me. AO had an ugly face as he was against their plan, but he had to listen to them as he was just their subordinate.

I walked in and Akihiro spoke "Ah, Homura you are here. We were waiting for you." I just nodded and Hiroshi spoke "We've got a mission for you." Hearing him, I spoke "Do tell me the details". Hiroshi continued "Yagura is supposed to meet someone at the east forest of mist village. You are to go there and find out the details".

Hearing the contents of the mission, I thought 'well, Yagura might be meeting Obito or Zetsu. This is a good opportunity to find them'. And replied "Very well. I'll take the mission." Both of them smiled and nodded. Only AO had a rather ugly face. I didn't think much about that at that time and left towards the mist village.

At the mist village in the Hokage's building, a short guy with grey hair and pink pupils who looked like a kid was sitting on the Hokage seat. An Anbu appeared in front of him "Yagura Sama, the special forces have been killed by the resistance".

Yagura who was sitting in the kage's seat just nodded "Did you find out where those rats are hiding?" He asked. The Anbu replied "We've found someone spreading news that the special forces were killed by a single man. So we captured him and he's being interrogated". Yagura nodded "Let me know any new development. You are dismissed".

Back at the underground base, Mei yelled "Father... what have you done? Why did you betray him?" Hearing her yell, Hiroshi spoke "Mei, we've done everything for the sake of overthrowing Yagura. The kid said that he can defeat Yagura. So we sent him to defeat Yagura."

Mei gritted her teeth and Akihiro spoke "Mei dear, don't feel bad for an outsider. Also as you and AO said, he may be stronger than Yagura and he will come back safely. Now go and prepare yourself for the battle. We are capturing the village while Yagura is out".

Mei reluctantly nodded and went away snorting. Akihiro shook his head. Hiroshi said "That girl has yet to learn many things. She's becomes too much obsessed with handsome men". Hearing Hiroshi, Akihiro had a wry smile. Then they too got ready to prepare for the fight between Yagura's forces.

I was moving inside the forest in search of the meeting spot and while moving I thought 'This is taking too long'. And activated sage mode. Red markings appeared around my eyes and on my face. (See cover pic)I opened my eyes and sensed a different kind of chakra signature. I traced the chakra and started moving towards it.

As I moved near the chakra, I sensed many similar chakras and also Natural energy. I had my doubts on who that chakra was. So I made my way towards the place. I used a seal that covers up my presence and hides my chakra. As I went near, I sent chakra to my right eye and activated the Tenseigan.

What I saw cleared my doubts. It was a base of the Akatsuki and inside I saw a plant shaped creature with natural energy and also some different kind of chakra. 'This must be Zetsu' I thought. I could also see several creatures that had Natural energy. Those were white zetsus. I approached the hideout stealthily. The new seal that hide my presence worked like a charm.

As I approached the place, I saw a swirling portal appear and was exited to see Obito get out of the portal. I then made my way towards the place and went closer to hear them speak. Zetsu was the one who spoke first "What happened? Did you get a new prospect?" Obito answered "Yes. He awakened his sharingan. He'll be a useful to recruit if he awakens his Mangekyou in the future." Zetsu spoke "Uchiha Itachi Ah! Quite a talent".

As soon as I heard them, I remembered 'Oh! This must be the time that Obito attacked and killed Itachi's teammate. I didn't know that they planned everything so early. Better spoil the plans'. I then slowly approached them. At this time, a head came out of the earth behind me. I sensed it and decapitated it immediately.

As soon as the head fell, Zetsu froze and yelled "Who's there?" Hearing him yell, I thought 'Ah! white zetsus are connected to each other. I did a mistake. But anyway, I don't need to hide from them'. And appeared before Obito. Obito looked at me curiously and as soon as he saw the scar on my left eye, he recognised me.

I wasn't wearing the signature Kakashi mask. So as Obito hadn't seen me without the mask, he took some time to recognise me. White hair and the eye scar was a dead giveaway. Zetsu spoke "Who are you? What are you doing at this place?" I smirked "My name is Homura. I'm here tracking the criminal that attacked and killed the fifth Hokage".

Both Obito and Zetsu were shocked for different reasons. Obito was shocked because I knew that he was the one who attacked the village and Zetsu was shocked hearing me say my name was Homura. 'Must be just a coincidence' Zetsu thought himself and calmed down. I saw him calm down as I said "My brother Hagoromo was also looking for you".

Hearing this, Zetsu was alarmed 'This is not good. He might know. I need to escape taking Obito'. He thought and at this moment, I took out a Kunai and jumped towards Obito to attack him. Obito just stood there wearing a one whiled mask and his sharingan blazing through the hole. My hand passed through him and I landed back.

Obito Laughed "Haha you can't touch me Hatake Kakashi. You are too weak. Today will be your end". Listening to him, I thought of playing along and spoke with a surprised face "Hiw do you know my name? Who are you?" The masked man replied "I'm a forgotten ghost. Uchiha Madara. You are too naive If do you think You could face me".

I also smirked "Then let's find out who is the naive one Ma~da~ra. I said his name playfully and sent chakra into my left eye and activated the sharingan which then changed to Eternal Mangekyou. Obito was shocked seeing my eternal and gritted his teeth at my talent. I created a "lightning release-Vanishing Rasengan" and threw it at him.

Obito used Kamui, but the Rasengan vanished. Seeing it vanish, He smirked "I thought you are..." but his words were interrupted as the Rasengan hit his shoulder and smashed it. Obito went wide eyed and used Kamui instantly becoming intangible. I threw some shuriken and also used Kamui on the shuriken.

The shuriken vanished and hit Obito sending him back. Blood started to drop from his body where the shuriken hit. I had infused some wind chakra into the shuriken to make it stronger. Obito just said "Ugh" as his knees bent a little. I smiled at him and said playfully "So, what do you think of me now? Uchiha....O~bi~to..."
