Chapter 355: Uchiha Obito? Is He Famous?

Chapter 355: Uchiha Obito? Is He Famous?

After completing the first mission of the Shippuden arc, it was unsurprising that the next task should involve the Hidden Sand Village.

One of Hagoromo Gengetsu's clones had already headed to the Hidden Sand Village.

As for Konoha...

Hagoromo Gengetsu glanced one last time at the unconscious Kakashi beside him. He was about to find a random place to hide. If Konoha had any more missions, he would conveniently complete them.

Suddenly, he sensed something and turned his head toward the Konoha gate.

"Naruto's here?"

A smirk appeared on Hagoromo Gengetsu's lips.

It seemed like there would be some entertainment to pass the time.

At the Konoha Gate...

After running all the way, covered in dust, Naruto finally sighed in relief when he saw the familiar gate of Konoha.

"I made it just in time!"

Naruto was about to rush toward the Hokage building to report everything to Granny Tsunade—wait, no! Now it should be Grandpa Third Hokage—so that everyone could come together again to overcome the crisis.

However, just as he crossed the gate, a sharp voice rang out.

"Who goes there?"

"How bold! How dare you trespass into Konoha!"

Along with the shout, several kunai and shuriken flew toward him.

Naruto quickly stopped in his tracks, deflecting the kunai and shuriken as he explained, "Wait, this is a misunderstanding!"

Seeing Naruto halt, the attackers also temporarily stopped, surrounding him.

One of them, with blood-red eyes, scanned Naruto's Konoha forehead protector and coldly said, "Since you're a Konoha ninja, don't you know that you need to register your information when entering and exiting the gate?"

"Sorry! I forgot for a moment!" Naruto replied sheepishly, scratching his head.

In his rush, he had forgotten the rules.

Also, the ones guarding the gate weren't the two familiar uncles he knew.

Naruto looked around at the Konoha ninjas, all of whom had activated their Sharingan, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "The Uchiha clan... Sasuke's people!"

Despite Naruto's explanation, the Uchiha ninjas from the Konoha Police Force weren't showing him any goodwill. They scrutinized him with suspicion.

"Are we sure he's a Konoha ninja? Why have I never seen this guy before?"

"I haven't either."

"His hairstyle is kind of like one of the Jonin from the village."

"Could he be a spy?"

"..."

Seeing the Uchiha ninjas' increasingly sharp gazes and no chance to speak, Naruto interrupted loudly, "I really am a Konoha ninja! Look, a genuine Konoha forehead protector!"

He pointed to his forehead protector, which he'd always kept shining clean.

The Uchiha ninjas remained unmoved, and their captain waved a hand, saying, "Seize him! Escort him to the Police Force for interrogation!"

Without hesitation, the Uchiha ninjas moved to capture him.

Naruto quickly dodged to the left and right.

Even though he was no longer at Six Paths level, he could still easily handle these opponents.

But since they were all Konoha ninjas, he didn't want to hurt them.

As more members of the Police Force arrived to reinforce the group, Naruto's eyes narrowed.

"Sorry!"

He clapped his hands together.

Boom!

A massive amount of white smoke erupted.

Naruto hadn't wanted to cause too much commotion, but now he had no choice.

"Target: the Hokage building! Everyone, charge!"

With a wave of his hand, thousands of shadow clones, all seemingly on an adrenaline rush, scattered in all directions toward the Hokage building.

The Uchiha ninjas couldn't stop them.

The captain's face changed, and he shouted, "Sound the alarm! We have an intruder!"

Soon, a shrill alarm echoed over Konoha.

Before the villagers could react, they witnessed a bizarre scene.

They saw countless identical blonde-haired boys dashing through the streets and over rooftops, shouting things like "Sorry," "Excuse me," and "Apologies for bumping into you," as they ran.

They seemed quite polite.

The ordinary villagers were simply watching out of curiosity.

However, the Konoha ninjas along the way had a different reaction. They had never seen anyone summon this many shadow clones before.

"Is this guy even human?"

Ebisu, who had been observing a certain lady for his daily "research," could only watch in dismay as the Naruto army rushed in and drowned out the lady.

"So... are all these people enemies?"

Next to him, a young Might Guy, overflowing with a sense of responsibility, had already charged forward.

"Konoha Strong Whirlwind!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The few Naruto clones in the lead were instantly turned into white smoke.

"Huh? Bushy Brows-sensei?"

The other Naruto clones, upon seeing the newcomer, exclaimed in surprise.

"Bushy Brows? Sensei?"

Might Guy struck a pose and said seriously, "You can call me Bushy Brows, but the term 'sensei'—I'm not worthy of such respect at my current level."

"Okay, Bushy Brows-sensei."

Although Naruto was excited to see a younger version of Bushy Brows-sensei, he didn't forget his mission and quickly moved on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

White smoke erupted all over Konoha as the clones dispersed.

The Konoha ninjas had reacted by now and were doing their best to stop Naruto.

"Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation!"

A massive spinning chakra sphere erupted on an open field.

Several Naruto clones were sent flying back, turning into white smoke.

As the Rotation technique ended, Hyuga Hiashi reappeared, looking calmly at the remaining Naruto clones and saying, "This path is blocked."

"Wow, Hinata's dad is pretty strong."

The Naruto clones exclaimed in surprise.

"Itachi, watch carefully. This is how you should fight when facing enemies who outnumber you."

Uchiha Fugaku, standing with his back to his one- or two-year-old son, Uchiha Itachi, spoke in a serious tone.

"Yes, Father!" Little Itachi replied earnestly.

"Wait, is this the Uchiha clan's territory?"

On the opposite side, a dozen Naruto clones were puzzled.

He remembered this area as being part of Konoha's commercial district.

When did it become Uchiha territory?

And the two people in front of him...

"Itachi is Sasuke's brother! So, this man must be Sasuke's father!"

Naruto hadn't expected to meet so many people he thought he'd never see again.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

A large fireball shot out from the mouth of a young Uchiha boy, heading straight for Naruto's clones.

Without waiting for the outcome, the boy turned around and proudly asked the girl behind him, "Rin, did you see how awesome I was?"

Nohara Rin nodded skillfully, "Very impressive, Obito."

"Hahaha!!"

Obito immediately burst into laughter, forgetting all about his mission in his happiness.

Rin tried to remind him, but it was too late.

Thud!

Still grinning foolishly, Obito was kicked and sent flying.

"This guy seems a little dense."

A newly arrived Naruto clone scratched his head and commented.

"Sorry."

He quickly apologized to Rin, who had stepped in front of Obito, before turning and leaving.

By the time Obito got back up, Naruto had already run far away.

Once again embarrassed in front of Rin, Obito could only shout in frustration.

"Damn it! How dare you sneak attack me! If you have the guts, fight Uchiha Obito again!"

Naruto didn't look back.

Uchiha Obito?

Is he famous?
