Land of Iron, north, Graveyard of Mountains.
In a resting room deep underground, Obito's voice, hoarse, terrified, lost, angry, and desperate, could be heard.
"What's wrong with you?" White Zetsu Zetsu asked, phasing through the earth into the room, a little surprised.
The shaken Obito, of course, would not tell the truth. He only said, "I had a nightmare. I dreamed that the Eye of the Moon Plan failed."
"I see," White Zetsu Zetsu said, enlightened.
"You can go. I need to think carefully about how to avoid what happened in the nightmare..."
"Understood."
After White Zetsu Zetsu had left, Obito leaned weakly against the wall, his exposed right eye filled with confusion...
How could I have such a dream?
Rin has been dead for many years. How could I dream of her and another man doing things between a husband and wife?
And I couldn't even see the man's face clearly. He was a bald, shadowy figure.
Everything has been going smoothly recently. There's no pressure.
Could it be that the Pure Land is the same as the human world, just with people living as souls?
Rin has a spouse in the Pure Land, so that's why...
No, I have to investigate what the situation is over there. If it's really like the human world, I must rescue Rin from the Pure Land!
Rin... she definitely wouldn't have done it willingly. She must have been forced!
After all, Rin is helpless and alone in the Pure Land...
With this thought, Obito could not sit still. He activated his Kamui ability and left the room.
On the moon, in the hot spring resting room.
The two were covered with a thin blanket. Nohara Rin was like an obedient little cat, snuggled peacefully in Kageyama Kogetsu's embrace, her cherry-like mouth slightly open, her breathing a little rapid.
Half an hour later, the two of them tidied up and prepared to go for an early dinner.
The night was long, and it was necessary to maintain sufficient physical strength.
Kageyama Kogetsu stayed on the moon for two days. Besides seeing Toneri at mealtimes, he spent the rest of his time clinging to Nohara Rin.
There was no other reason. Rin was really fun!
The only fly in the ointment was that Obito was not around. Otherwise, it would have been even more interesting.
Before leaving, Kageyama Kogetsu gave Nohara Rin all the things his other women had. The Living Corpse Reincarnation technique was no exception, and he also gave her corresponding guidance.
...
A year of peace and happiness passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, it was the end of Konoha 61.
In the southwestern part of the Land of Fire, by a pale blue lake.
Kageyama Kogetsu, dressed in a loose black robe, was lying on a lounge chair, fishing. A sunshade was over his head, and on the small table beside him were fine wine and delicious food. The cool breeze was refreshing.
A moment later, four figures dressed in black robes with red clouds appeared on the side of the lake and quickly rushed towards the fishing spot...
Kageyama Kogetsu scouted the area. Seeing no White Zetsu following, he did not move.
The four of them came to Kageyama Kogetsu's side and greeted him.
Kageyama Kogetsu nodded. With a wave of his hand, four chairs and a table landed on the grass. On the table were fine wine, drinks, and delicious food.
"Sit. Eat and drink as you please. We'll talk about business later."
Pakura was the first to take a seat, next to Kageyama Kogetsu. Kakuzu, Kisame, and Itachi each took a seat.
The four of them did not stand on ceremony and each picked up their chopsticks to eat...
Kageyama Kogetsu focused on fishing. When he caught a fish, he did not keep it but released it. It was not for eating, but purely for fun.
Ten minutes later, the sound of eating had basically disappeared. Kageyama Kogetsu put away his fishing rod and got down to business.
"I've gathered you this time to ask you to do something for me: assassinate the Fifth Hokage of Konoha," Kageyama Kogetsu said nonchalantly.
That's right. Kageyama Kogetsu felt that Danzō's usefulness was running out. He decided to get rid of him and then take the position of the Sixth Hokage.
There was nothing to be embarrassed about. He had always done things and did not owe Danzō anything.
Without him, Danzō would not have become Hokage. In the original story, Kageyama Kogetsu's acting Hokage was not a real Hokage; the process was not completed.
He could do this himself, easily, but he didn't want to. Otherwise, what was the point of raising subordinates?
"No problem!" Pakura, Kakuzu, and Kisame said in unison.
Uchiha Itachi's answer was a little slower, but he still stated that he would do it.
"Itachi, what are your thoughts on what happened back then?"
Uchiha Itachi knew what Kageyama Kogetsu was referring to. He had been thinking about it in his free time all these years.
"Looking back now, my thoughts back then were extremely extreme, stupidly so," Uchiha Itachi said with a sad expression.
Kageyama Kogetsu chuckled, "Heh heh... it seems your travels in the ninja world all these years have not been in vain. Your horizons have widened a lot, and you've grown a lot."
"The pressure from within and without the clan, the influence of the Mangekyo Sharingan."
"Danzō's oppression and instigation, your self-righteous yet unaware personality, and various other factors led you to the idea of solving the problem by massacring the clan."
"In fact, to solve the Uchiha's coup, there was no need for such extreme measures."
"You only needed to make it so that the Uchiha clan did not have the strength to stage a coup."
"The Uchiha clan has a flawed character, but they are by no means stupid. They would not have flown into the fire like a moth, knowing that they had no chance of winning."
"How to make the Uchiha clan not have the strength to stage a coup?"
"We could use a more extreme method, but we would only need to eliminate the main force of the radical faction of the coup."
"Senior Fugaku actually didn't really want a coup, but he was swept up by public opinion and had no choice."
"You should have had a frank exchange with your parents, the moderate faction within the clan, and the neutral faction, to gain their support, and then seize or create an opportunity to eliminate the majority of the coup forces in one fell swoop."
"Although the village could not directly support you, it could have supported you indirectly."
Uchiha Itachi lowered his head in shame, "Brother Kogetsu, I was wrong."
"Fortunately, you stopped me and made me stop in time, preventing me from making an even bigger mistake."
"Otherwise, it would be one thing for me to live in pain every day, but the most terrible thing would be to have severely hurt Sasuke, my mother, and the other five."
In the original story, Kageyama Kogetsu had disliked the living Uchiha Itachi.
After the revived Uchiha Itachi had recognized himself, he no longer disliked him as much.
What kind of person is the most annoying?
A bad person?
No, not necessarily. Some bad people are even admired. Only those who are self-righteous, stupid, and unknowable are bound to be disliked!
In this world, because he had stopped him, Uchiha Itachi had not made a complete and grave mistake. He could think relatively calmly and came to his senses earlier than in the original story.
Kageyama Kogetsu waved his hand and smiled, "It's fine as long as you know you were wrong. It's better than hitting your head against a wall and not turning back."
"You didn't need to participate this time. I let you participate to give you and Danzō a chance to settle the score."
"You know Danzō's attitude towards the Uchiha, right?"
Uchiha Itachi said with a grateful expression, "Thank you, Brother Kogetsu."
"I know. Although the Uchiha clan has many shortcomings, it is not without its merits."
"Danzō's prejudice against the Uchiha clan is deep-rooted, and he is full of malice."
"If not for Danzō's secret machinations, and even his sneak attack on Shisui, the village and the family might have found a more gentle solution."
"I will do my best to kill him!"
"The family feud is secondary. The main thing is to help Brother Kogetsu become Hokage and start implementing his plan!"
Kageyama Kogetsu nodded in satisfaction, a look of relief on his face. "It's best that you understand."
"Danzō has two trump cards: the Izanagi technique and the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique."
"Izanagi is one of the Uchiha clan's forbidden jutsu. Before you act, you explain it to them clearly."
"The latter is a technique that forcibly seals objects within a range of several hundred meters, including the user's body, through a formula engraved on the user's body."
"You must be careful of this move. It's best not to let Danzō use it."
Play is play, fooling around is fooling around, but don't mess with sealing jutsu...
