Chapter 254 And this correctness will ultimately bring glory to Konoha!

"Tick...tick..."

In the dark, damp cave, water droplets dripped from the rock walls.

The hideous and terrifying outline of the heretical demon statue disappeared into the shadows.

Obito met Madara's deep, downcast gaze, and involuntarily swallowed, trying his best to appear nonchalant.

"I...I just happened to be passing by and stopped by to see you."

The words fell.

He thought that if he were a young man in the real world, his body might be better, but the boy's body made him feel insecure and trembled slightly. He also felt that this excuse was too perfunctory.

"Humph."

Madara Uchiha chuckled, his hoarse and cold voice echoing in the cave.

"Let's drop that lame excuse."

"Kid, I can smell your restlessness from miles away. Speak up if you need something!"

One sentence exposed Obito's clumsy lie.

Obito felt a little embarrassed when Madara saw through him, but at the same time he felt relieved.

As expected, beating around the bush in front of Madara was pointless.

He also understood that the true purpose of this trip could not be stated directly.

According to the current timeline of this dream, the present self is unaware of the existence of White Zetsu.

Therefore, we must rephrase the statement to achieve our goal.

Obito took a deep breath, forcing a respectful and admiring smile, and subtly began to flatter Madara Uchiha: "Lord Madara... you've lived in seclusion behind the scenes for so many years, secretly observing the entire ninja world. With your vision and methods, you must be fully aware of all the intelligence in the ninja world, right?"

He abandoned his arrogance in the real world, becoming obsequious and respectful, as if he greatly admired Ban's extraordinary wisdom.

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha let out a crooked chuckle and said with utter pride, "Heh, that's natural. Nothing in the ninja world can escape my eyes."

Sensing the smugness in Madara's tone, Obito was secretly delighted.

It seems that Ban is in a good mood.

Taking advantage of Madara's softened attitude, Obito immediately pressed his advantage, respectfully saying, "In that case... could you please use your all-knowing intelligence network to help me investigate something? This is very important to me!"

He spoke with almost impatience towards the end, his dark eyes revealing eager anticipation.

On the stone platform, Madara Uchiha did not answer directly upon hearing this.

He stared coldly at Obito below, and after a long while, he suddenly let out a hoarse, cold snort: "Hmph, I knew it, you brat..."

Madara narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Obito from head to toe, as if blaming Obito for having ulterior motives, as if trying to see through every hidden thought in his heart.

The oppressive silence lasted for several seconds before Madara finally waved his hand lightly.

"Fine! Tell me, what do you want to investigate?"

Madara naturally understood Obito's subtle actions.

But he didn't mind; in fact, he was somewhat pleased.

Obito actively sought his power, which was part of his plan.

When Obito heard that Madara had given in, he was overjoyed and could not hide his excitement.

It actually worked!

Will he finally be able to use Madara's power to find the mastermind behind everything?

Obito felt his chest pounding, and his blood rushing.

He suppressed his excitement and quickly stepped forward, saying excitedly, "Lord Madara, I would like to ask you to investigate who is behind the Kirigakure squad that attacked me on the border of the Land of Rain ten days ago!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the cave fell silent.

On the stone chair in the distance, Madara Uchiha, who had been lazily leaning against the back of the chair, suddenly stiffened.

His expression froze as if carved from stone, and a dangerous glint flashed in his narrowed eyes.

This kid...

An absurd sense of astonishment flashed through his mind: Obito actually came to ask me to investigate myself?

For a moment, even with Ban's composure, a strange and indescribable feeling arose in his heart.

Obito stared nervously at Madara, every second of waiting feeling like a thorn in his back.

He was unaware of the turmoil in Madara's heart. Madara remained silent, his expression shifting between light and shadow, and Obito's heart leaped into his throat.

He couldn't help but start to worry.

Is Madara going to back out?

Are you unwilling to help with this?

In a moment of desperation, Obito's eyes darted around quickly, and he immediately adopted a skeptical expression, cautiously probing, "What... even you can't find out that guy's background?"

This blunt question was like a bucket of cold water, waking Uchiha Madara from his brief moment of astonishment.

He was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter.

Ban gradually went from laughing loudly to hysterical laughter, his thin and old body trembling. His voice was loud and deep, echoing endlessly in the silent cave, revealing no emotion.

"Interesting! Really interesting!"

Madara glanced at Obito, his eyes filled with both surprise and amusement. "You've even learned to use reverse psychology now?"

Obito stood there, not daring to interrupt, and could only nervously watch Madara, wondering what that laughter meant.

Finally, Ban's laughter gradually subsided.

"I originally thought you were just a brat who acted on brute force... but I didn't expect that."

"You actually thought of asking me to investigate this matter? It seems your brain works a bit better than I thought."

Upon hearing this, Obito was overjoyed.

Ban's tone seemed to have softened somewhat!

He quickly pressed for confirmation, "So...you agree?"

"Hmph..." Madara Uchiha snorted softly, slowly leaning forward from the stone chair, looking down at Obito below.

"This matter is a piece of cake for me."

Obito held his breath, staring intently at Madara, his heart pounding in his chest.

Then, Ban abruptly changed the subject: "But...!"

Obito's heart tightened. Before he could think it through, Madara continued, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. I'll help you find the culprit, but what... can you give up for that?"

Madara squinted, watching Obito with great interest.

Obito stood there, stunned, his expression shifting.

Ban's words were undoubtedly a bargaining chip, but at this moment, as long as we can find the mastermind behind it all, we are willing to pay any price!

After a brief silence, Obito raised his head, his gaze hardening.

He replied firmly, "I'll do anything you ask as long as you can help me find that guy!"

Upon hearing this unwavering promise, Madara Uchiha's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and then a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

He nodded slowly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "You said it yourself."

The hoarse voice lingered in the empty cave, and Obito, hearing it, inexplicably felt a chill run down his spine.

……

in the audience.

Those secretly observing all of this gasped in shock.

The conversation between Madara Uchiha and Obito just now left the audience in complete silence.

Kakashi noticed something amiss in the details.

Judging from Madara's reaction, he clearly had anticipated Obito's attack!

Obito appeared in the cave covered in wounds, but Madara showed no surprise whatsoever.

Kakashi found it strange at the time, but now, comparing it with Madara's attitude just now, everything is almost obvious.

The mastermind behind the attack on Obito and his group was very likely Madara Uchiha himself.

Upon thinking of this, Kakashi felt a sudden chill run down his spine, and cold sweat quietly seeped out.

After all, the old man on the screen was the culprit who led Obito into the abyss of darkness!

Those Sharingan eyes, hidden in the shadows, now looked like an abyss that devoured light, sending chills down one's spine.

Even Kakashi, who is usually calm and collected, was shaken to his core at this moment.

[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +700!]

……

on the screen.

Upon hearing Madara Uchiha finally agree, Obito's tense nerves relaxed instantly, and he let out a long sigh of relief as if his whole body had gone limp.

However, this relaxation had a disastrous effect, as the pain that had been suppressed due to the intense tension immediately surged back and rushed back to the body.

"hiss--"

He felt a tearing pain in his ribs and couldn't help but gasp.

Obito gritted his teeth, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. Without thinking, he hurriedly looked around for a place to rest.

Just a few steps away, there was a relatively flat rock. He limped over, raised his hand to cover his abdominal wound, and carefully sat down, trying not to aggravate his injuries.

We need to catch our breath... otherwise how will we get back later?

Obito wiped the cold sweat from his face, barely managing to regulate his breathing, allowing the surging pain to subside slightly.

Once the pain subsides, I need to hurry back so Lin won't worry.
