Chapter 123: Chapter 123: The Social Death of Obito
As soon as Danzo's words fell.
Several of his Root ninjas leaped out from behind him, silently closing in on Tsunade.
For these brainwashed Root members, Danzo's orders were everything.
It didn't matter if it was Tsunade in front of them, even if it were the Third Hokage, they would not hesitate to act.
Huh? Tsunade raised an eyebrow, not expecting that even after revealing her identity, Danzo, this old man, still refused to admit it and even ordered his subordinates to attack her.
Given Tsunade's fiery temper, she naturally couldn't stand it.
So, the next second.
Boom!
A fierce surge of chakra erupted from her, sweeping around like a hurricane, causing everyone present to look on in horror.
At the same time, Tsunade stomped her foot on the ground.
Crack.
With the massive release of Yang Release chakra from her foot, the ground immediately cracked, spreading like a spider web towards Danzo and the others, forcing them to retreat.
Even those Root ninjas were intimidated by Tsunade's aura and dared not approach any further.
This was the legendary monstrous strength.
"Tsunade is a friend of the Uchiha, who dares to touch her!"
Fugaku shouted at this moment, striding to Tsunade's side, taking off his Gunbai from his back, and pointing it at Danzo and the others with an imposing manner.
Shisui and the others came to their senses, also quickly stepping forward, surrounding Tsunade like stars around the moon, and with their sharp gazes, they drove back those Root ninjas.
Tsunade spoke for the Uchiha, and the Uchiha would never let her be wronged.
"Brother, that woman really seems to be Lady Tsunade!"
"Lady Tsunade is angry, we're done."
The two brothers, Fujin and Raijin, who were in the prison cart, were even more terrified after seeing Tsunade's monstrous strength, bringing back terrible memories deep in their hearts.
They were the ones who were beaten up by Tsunade and put in jail.
"Who are you calling 'big sister'!" Tsunade glared at the idiot brothers and scolded.
The two brothers immediately shut up, quickly groveling at Tsunade for mercy, saying they would never dare again.
Apart from Fujin and Raijin.
Among the villagers, some also gradually stood up, saying that Lady Tsunade had lifted the ruins before and saved many injured people with her superb medical skills.
At this point.
Danzo had no way to slander Tsunade's identity anymore, he could only apologize in a perfunctory manner, saying it was a misunderstanding.
"Hmph."
Tsunade snorted coldly, too lazy to argue with Danzo for the time being, and instead reiterated her previous words in front of everyone.
"I can vouch for the Uchiha clan with my own reputation, the recent series of disturbances in Konoha are all the work of the rogue ninja Obito."
With the appearance of Tsunade, this key witness.
The balance of the situation quickly tilted towards the Uchiha clan.
Given Tsunade's prestige and status in Konoha, with her standing up for the Uchiha clan, at least half of the Konoha ninjas and villagers present were swayed.
Seeing the villagers gradually calming down and no longer being angry and impulsive, Tsunade finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No one in Konoha knew the strength of the Uchiha clan better than Tsunade.
Even if you set aside the rest of the Uchiha.
Just Fugaku, Shisui, and Guruguru, these three whose strength had reached Kage level, could turn Konoha upside down.
Not to mention, there was the most terrifying Uchiha, Dan.
No one knew how strong that monster was.
If a civil war broke out today, and the Uchiha and Danzo, Hizashi, and others started fighting, the only outcome for Konoha would be... destruction.
Konoha was the ninja village created by Tsunade's grandfather, Hashirama Senju, and was his life's work.
So Tsunade stood up, even if it meant revealing her identity, she had to defuse this crisis.
She wasn't speaking for the Uchiha clan, but for the peace of Konoha, to protect her grandfather's ideals.
After getting Tsunade's support, Fugaku also decided to return to the main topic.
That was to expose Obito.
"Everyone!"
He shouted to attract everyone's attention, then ordered Shisui to push a cart forward. On it were stacks of leaflets, at least hundreds of thousands.
At Fugaku's signal, the Uchiha clan members took those leaflets and walked towards the villagers of Konoha, distributing them to everyone present.
"Obito is a rogue ninja of the Uchiha. Our clan originally wanted to resolve this disgraceful matter ourselves, but now we have to make it public, announcing it to Konoha and the entire ninja world. From today, the Uchiha clan officially issues a bounty on Obito, the amount... one billion ryo!"
Fugaku announced loudly, stating an astonishing bounty amount.
One billion ryo.
Even the Kage and Jinchuriki of the major ninja villages weren't worth this much.
But for the Uchiha clan, the value of Obito was far more than a mere one billion ryo.
Just that one Sharingan of his was already a priceless treasure.
Not to mention, Obito had inherited Uchiha Madara's mantle, mastered the secrets of the Rinnegan, and learned Yin-Yang Release secret techniques and Six Paths techniques.
The value of this information to the Uchiha clan was immeasurable.
On the leaflets distributed to the villagers of Konoha.
The first thing that caught their eye was the image of Obito wearing a tiger-striped mask with long hair.
Then, it told the story of Obito's life and the reasons why he became a rogue ninja.
As it turns out.
During the Third Great Ninja War, the Konoha higher-ups, who prided themselves as pacifists, inadvertently escalated the war, leading to the death of Rin Nohara, a low-ranking ninja.
Rin was Obito's teammate and the object of his unrequited love.
Because of Rin's death, Obito fell into darkness and hatred for Konoha, single-handedly orchestrating the Nine-Tails' attack, and even tried to frame the Uchiha clan.
This was a story of a man who sought to destroy the world for a woman.
But what was quite damaging was that the story specifically noted—
Obito's love for Rin was unrequited from beginning to end. The one Rin truly liked was the handsome and talented Kakashi.
This melodramatic love triangle was a story Dan made up when he was bored and told to his brother-in-law, Fugaku, with some embellishments.
Fugaku was shocked for a long time.
Now they were announcing it to the entire ninja world, letting everyone see what kind of eccentric madman Obito really was.
The third part of the leaflet detailed Obito's abilities.
They didn't even mention his Hashirama cells and Wood Release. Especially the principle of Kamui's intangibility, it was explained in great detail, as if they were afraid people wouldn't understand.
They even drew a picture of Obito's Mangekyou Sharingan, a triangular pinwheel, reminding everyone not to get it wrong.
Even more so.
To further increase credibility, Fugaku even wrote the heavy information that Madara Uchiha was not dead and had chosen Obito as his successor.
Everyone in Konoha, including Danzo and Hizashi, looked at the contents of the leaflet with a stunned expression, becoming more and more shocked as they read on.
It could be said the contents of this leaflet stripped Obito down to his underwear.
"Is all this... true?"
Thousands of Konoha villagers started whispering to each other after reading the leaflet, skeptical.
Suddenly, several voices rang out from the crowd.
"We can also testify!" Led by Tenzo, members of the Anbu's sixth team stood up.
They were originally ordered by the Third Hokage to closely monitor the situation and report back to him in a timely manner.
But after seeing the leaflet, Tenzo and the others immediately realized that Obito was the masked man from last night!
Like Tsunade, for the sake of maintaining the peace of the village, Tenzo and his companions decided to speak out about this matter after discussing it.
"Last night, we were attacked by a man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha. His abilities were identical to Obito's, and he even stole Kakashi-senpai's Sharingan. Kakashi-senpai said that his Sharingan was given to him by his former teammate Obito..."
With Tenzo's narration.
At this point, everyone had to believe it, because the information Tenzo provided matched the contents of the leaflet exactly.
First Lady Tsunade, and then the Anbu.
Both of them stood up to testify for the Uchiha clan one after another, could there still be any falsehood?
That's right.
Uchiha Obito was the real source of all the chaos!
On the outskirts of the crowd, in a building.
Obito stood by the window, looking at the Uchiha's clan area from a distance, his eyebrows gradually furrowing, becoming impatient.
What were those people doing?
They had been making a fuss for a long time, making a big scene, but they just wouldn't take action.
He wanted to see rivers of blood, he wanted to see the Uchiha and Konoha destroy each other, but both sides were just engaging in a war of words. Plus, he was too far away to hear clearly.
Just then.
"Obito, you need to see this."
A villager rushed in, and after dispelling his transformation jutsu, he turned back into White Zetsu, and handed Obito a leaflet with trembling hands.
This is...
Upon seeing the contents of the leaflet, Obito was immediately taken aback, his pupils constricting as he fell into extreme shock.
And when he heard from White Zetsu that the Uchiha clan had printed hundreds of thousands of such leaflets and were distributing them to all the villagers of Konoha, he could no longer maintain his composure.
"Nonsense, this is all nonsense!" Obito immediately started cursing, staring intently at the contents of the leaflet, his entire face about to twist.
What he cared about most was not that his identity and abilities had been exposed, but the small story about him, Rin, and Kakashi on the leaflet.
It said that he was a "hopeless romantic", a third wheel between Rin and Kakashi, making it so that the two of them, who clearly liked each other, had to consider Obito's pitiful self-esteem and couldn't confess to each other.
It also said that Obito chose to deceive himself and be moved by his own actions because he couldn't accept the fact that Rin didn't like him. After Rin's death, he sought to avenge her by wreaking havoc on the world under the guise of avenging her.
In reality, this was just his way of venting his anger and frustration at his own incompetence.
Whoever made up these "vivid" contents had blackened Obito's name beyond recognition.
In Obito's heart his love for Rin was incredibly pure and beautiful, it was the only thing that kept him going in this dark world.
He would not tolerate anyone insulting Rin, insulting his feelings.
So at this moment, Obito was furious.
With a flicker of flame in his palm, he instantly burned the leaflet to ashes.
His Sharingan was blood-red, his chakra surged wildly within him, and with a "crack", he shattered his tiger-striped mask, revealing a twisted and terrifying face.
As it turns out.
When a person is socially dead, they can go berserk.
