038 The Deterrence of Night Star

"Night Star, do you know who he is?"

Hearing Orochimaru's question, Night Star looked directly into the masked man's right eye, observing the scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan pattern within, and smiled indifferently.

"I don't know. Who exactly is he?"

It was normal for Orochimaru, who hadn't read the diary, to not recognize him.

But Tsunade had already vaguely guessed that the masked man standing atop the Rashomon was the Obito Uchiha mentioned in Night Star is diary, the one who possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan.

After arriving at the frontline, she specifically inquired about this name from the Konoha ninja.

Obito Uchiha was a direct disciple of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze. He was reportedly killed in action during the Third Shinobi World War while carrying out the mission to destroy the Kannabi Bridge.

Why had he ended up like this?

And why did he harbor such intense killing intent toward Night Star Uchiha?

At this moment, Obito's heart was equally filled with a strong sense of crisis.

He hadn't expected Night Star to awaken the Sharingan while facing the Three-Tails.

And not just awaken it but to directly achieve the three-tomoe stage on his first activation!

Back then, Madara Uchiha had said that Obito, who had awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan on his first try, was already an extremely rare genius in the history of the Uchiha clan.

Awakening with three tomoe on the first try? Such a terrifying talent had never appeared, even when tracing the Uchiha clan's history to its roots.

At this moment, Obito suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of defeat.

Even with half of his body infused with White Zetsu cells, the power of Wood Release, and the Mangekyou Sharingan, when facing Night Star, he felt as though he had returned to the academy.

He was still the dead-last.

And the other person was still the genius, out of reach and unattainable.

At this moment, a hoarse, grating voice, like a broken gong, sounded beside Obito.

"It's time to go."

Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito's right eye gleamed with unmasked killing intent as he coldly replied.

"After killing Night Star Uchiha, I will naturally return with the Three-Tails Jinchūriki."

Black Zetsu's face darkened, and he spoke in a deep voice.

"Orochimaru and Tsunade of the Sannin are both here; you won't be able to kill him."

Seeing that Obito was about to retort, Black Zetsu interrupted directly.

"Don't forget, our plan is what truly matters. Don't forget your mission."

"Hmph, I don't need your reminder."

Obito responded impatiently, knowing that Black Zetsu was right.

His intangibility technique was indeed difficult to counter, but fighting Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Night Star simultaneously was an impossible task.

Furthermore, Obito had a vague premonition.

In terms of ocular power, there was a high chance that his single Mangekyou Sharingan could not surpass Night Star is newly awakened three-tomoe Sharingan.

After all, awakening with three tomoe on the first try had never happened in history.

He couldn't even be sure if Night Star is Sharingan had some unique properties.

To err on the side of caution, he decided to heed Black Zetsu's advice and retreat.

After making up his mind, Obito jumped down from the Rashomon, landing in front of Yagura.

His right eye transformed into the Mangekyou pattern as he placed one hand on Yagura's shoulder.

With a ripple of spatial distortion, Obito and Yagura vanished, while Black and White Zetsu disappeared underground.

Seeing this, Orochimaru frowned slightly and muttered to himself.

"A space-based ninjutsu... I've never seen anything like it."

With Orochimaru's experience, he had knowledge of most jutsu in the shinobi world.

But he'd never heard of a space-transfer technique that didn't require seals or markings like the Flying Thunder God.

Could this be some special ability of the Sharingan?

As this thought crossed his mind, he glanced at Night Star and, licking his lips with his long tongue, said.

"Night Star-kun, the enemy has retreated. Now can you tell us why you appeared here?"

Before Night Star could answer, Tsunade frowned and brusquely interrupted.

"You can ask later. I have something to talk to this brat about. Hey, kid, come with me."

With that, she grabbed Night Star is wrist and walked away into the distance.

Orochimaru watched their retreating figures with a playful expression.

Tsunade and Night Star Uchiha shouldn't have had any prior interactions.

Orochimaru knew Tsunade suffered from hemophobia.

What kind of influence did Night Star possess to make Tsunade, who avoided the battlefield at all costs, take such a significant risk to provide support?

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village.

Seeing that the diary hadn't updated for a long time, Kurenai Yuhi's eyes showed a trace of worry.

Could something have happened to Night Star?

Sitting across from her, Yūgao Uzuki wore a similarly concerned expression.

At this point, they couldn't even spare the energy to think about why Obito, who had long been declared dead, was still alive.

The key issue was that Obito had awakened something called the Mangekyou Sharingan.

From Night Star is tone in the diary, the Mangekyou seemed even more powerful than the three-tomoe Sharingan.

First, he fought the Three-Tails Jinchūriki.

Now, he faced Obito with his Mangekyou awakened.

Even with Lady Tsunade by Night Star is side, could he really remain unharmed?

Just as the two women were consumed by worry, a new entry appeared in the diary.

[Tsunade's skin is so fair.]

[When she hugged me just now, it felt so soft and tender.]

[As expected of the most popular female character in the Naruto world she lives up to her reputation.]
