Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Capturing the Three-Tails
Uchiha Madara's face lit up with excitement.
Obito couldn't help but feel genuinely impressed as he exclaimed,
"Really? That's amazing!"
After waiting so long for the Three-Tails to reappear, it was finally happening.
At last, I can start working on the main storyline!
Just imagining himself completing the objectives, summoning the Susanoo-armored Great Buddha, and roaming freely around the world brought a grin to Obito's face.
He was even more thrilled than Madara himself.
"Hahahahahaha!"
The two of them laughed like maniacs.
Black Zetsu, utterly fed up with their unsettling antics, quietly sank into the ground, retreating to escape their "spiritual contamination."
Ten minutes later, their laughter gradually subsided.
Finally, Obito turned to Madara and said,
"Grandpa Madara, where exactly is the Three-Tails going to resurrect? I'll capture it for you!"
Madara hesitated for a moment but maintained a calm expression.
"It's been a long time since I've ventured out myself. Let's do this… You and I will go together."
Obito shrugged nonchalantly and replied,
"Sure. Unless…"
Before Obito could finish, Madara cut him off with a sharp tone.
"I know what you're going to say, kid. No, we're not using your ocular jutsu!"
"The resurrection site isn't far. We'll walk."
Wow, Grandpa's learning to interrupt now?
Obito smacked his lips and sighed dramatically.
"Fine, you're the boss. Whatever you say."
Madara: "…"
The two of them exited the base, with Obito trailing a step behind.
Madara glanced at Black Zetsu, who seemed eager to follow, and casually waved his hand.
"No need for you to come along. With Obito accompanying me, I'll be fine."
Black Zetsu bowed respectfully.
"Understood. I wish you a safe journey."
"Mm. Stand down."
As Madara and Obito disappeared into the distance, Black Zetsu's eyes flickered with intrigue. A sly smirk formed as he muttered to himself,
"Madara… have you figured something out?"
...
Outside the Base
With his hands behind his back, Madara walked ahead, speaking to his grandson.
"…"
"…"
"Obito? Obito? …Obito!"
Madara had been talking for quite a while, but Obito gave no response. Puzzled, he turned to look behind him.
What greeted him left him speechless.
Obito was following along with a silly grin plastered on his face, mumbling nonsense under his breath.
("One-Tail~ Two-Tails~ I'm Tobi~ Hehehe~")
Watching Obito act like a fool, Madara felt a mix of emotions.
How can his intelligence fluctuate so wildly? This kid is seriously worrying…
Madara massaged his temples and shouted,
"Obito, your grandfather is talking to you!"
(﹃)
Obito wiped a bit of drool from the corner of his mouth, looking confused.
"Huh? What were you saying, Grandpa Madara?"
"…"
Madara suddenly felt very, very tired.
Taking a deep breath, he asked,
"Did you even listen to a single thing I just said?"
Obito shook his head hurriedly.
"Of course, Grandpa Madara! How could I not?"
Madara let out a sigh of relief.
"Phew…"
Then, Obito quickly added,
"Not just a single word—I didn't catch even one syllable!"
You little…!
Madara's temper flared as he swung a leg at Obito, sending a gust of wind slicing through the air.
"Bam!"
In his anger, Madara forgot that Obito could phase through attacks. His kick missed entirely, and he almost toppled over.
Obito, hands on his hips, burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! Grandpa Madara, you're so derpy!"
You little…!
Madara's blood pressure spiked as he tried to hold himself back.
Is this what raising a grandchild feels like? Pure pain… and more pain.
Glaring daggers at Obito, Madara's eyes burned with killing intent.
But Obito, with his Kamui, was unfazed. In fact, he laughed even harder and stuck his tongue out mockingly.
Madara clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down.
Breathe… don't get mad… Anger leads to illness. I am an adult, and I will not stoop to a child's level.
After a self-pep talk, Madara finally regained his composure and said,
"Obito, you're right. There is something suspicious about Black Zetsu."
Obito looked at Madara in surprise.
"Well, well, Grandpa Madara, you've finally come around!"
Madara snorted unhappily.
"What's with that face? Do you think I, Madara, am slower than you?"
Grinning slyly, Obito replied,
"Well, you said it, not me. Nothing to do with me at all."
This time, Madara didn't get angry. He gave Obito a deep, meaningful look and said,
"Even so, it doesn't mean the Eye of the Moon Plan is flawed."
Obito opened his mouth to argue, but Madara raised a hand to stop him.
"Enough. I know what you're going to say. But I can't abandon my life's pursuit just because of your words."
"Don't worry. In this vast shinobi world, no one can outmaneuver me—Uchiha Madara."
Yeah.
Obito couldn't help but stifle a laugh, which only irritated Madara further.
"Obito! Are you trying to provoke me into fighting you?"
Obito immediately straightened up and rattled off a quick apology.
"Nope! I wouldn't dare! My bad, Grandpa Madara."
"Well, since you've made up your mind, I'll follow your orders. I'll help you summon the Ten-Tails and complete the Eye of the Moon Plan!"
Madara smiled in satisfaction.
Though Obito's words might not be entirely sincere, the feeling of being supported was undeniably nice.
The two continued chatting as they walked until they reached a wide lake shrouded in mist.
The dense fog, emitted by the Three-Tails, had mild genjutsu properties.
But for two Sharingan users, it was meaningless.
Obito glanced at the seemingly bottomless lake and decided to take the lazy route.
He looked at Madara with admiration and said,
"Grandpa Madara, I'll leave this to you. Show me what you've got!"
Madara shot Obito a glance but didn't respond. Instead, he stepped forward and began launching attacks at the lake.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A series of devastating jutsu bombarded the water, stirring it into a raging tempest.
Obito watched with a grin.
Not bad. Watching Grandpa fish for a giant turtle has its charm. Being lazy feels great~
Madara's relentless assault soon disturbed the lake's depths.
A deep, guttural roar echoed as a massive creature emerged from the water.
Its body was covered in sharp spikes, and three menacing tails glistened coldly under the sunlight.
"So that's the Three-Tails… Why does it look like a giant turtle?"
The furious Three-Tails barely surfaced before its gaze locked with Madara's kaleidoscope eyes.
And just like that, it was over.
The Three-Tails didn't even have a chance to resist.
Obito stretched lazily and said with a chuckle,
"That was easier than expected. One-ninth of the mission complete!"
