Obito Reborn With Double Kamui

'Contacting Hanzo seems like a good move for the Uchiha, but what about Akatsuki?'

Obito coughed lightly, "Clan Leader Fugaku, I think we should contact Akatsuki first before reaching out to Hanzo."

Fugaku was puzzled, "Although Akatsuki might have some strength, no matter how you look at it, they can't be as important as Hanzo, right?"

Obito thought to himself, 'That's because you don't know Nagato has the Rinnegan of Madara.'

But on the surface, he couldn't say that.

"Clan Leader Fugaku, Hanzo is the de facto ruler of Amegakure. No matter how many benefits you offer him, he will never truly see the Uchiha as allies."

"Akatsuki is different. They are still in their early stages, and their leadership consists of a group of ambitious young people. If we extend a helping hand now, we can gain a lot of goodwill."

Fugaku frowned, "But a small organization from a small country, no matter how much goodwill we gain, isn't that important to the Uchiha, right?"

Obito smiled, "Clan Leader Fugaku, have you forgotten what I said earlier? The leadership of Akatsuki are disciples of Jiraiya."

Fugaku was stunned, suddenly realizing that befriending Akatsuki could also mean establishing a connection with Jiraiya.

That changed everything in his mind.

Hanzo, no matter how strong, was still an outsider. His support for the Uchiha would be limited. But Jiraiya was a pure Konoha ninja, a core member of the Hokage's faction, and could even directly influence the thoughts of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If they could befriend Jiraiya, it would be worth some cost.

Not to mention, Jiraiya's disciples couldn't be ordinary people. He had high hopes for Minato Namikaze's future. If the leadership of Akatsuki had even half of Minato's talent, this investment would be a huge win.

Fugaku suddenly smiled, "Obito, you really think things through. I'll send someone to investigate. If the leadership of Akatsuki really are Jiraiya's disciples, I will contact them. The Uchiha aren't short on money."

Obito nodded. The Uchiha had accumulated vast resources from the Warring States period to the present, making them the wealthiest clan in the entire ninja world. A little bit of their wealth would be enough to help Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan through the most difficult early stages of their development. Once they grew stronger, it would be easier for him to interact with Akatsuki later.

However, the growth of Akatsuki would have consequences. Hanzo's attitude also needed to be considered.

"Clan Leader Fugaku, Hanzo isn't unimportant either. So after befriending Akatsuki, you should also reach out to Hanzo. Ideally, you could facilitate an alliance between Akatsuki and Hanzo. That way, the Uchiha would have a certain level of influence within Amegakure."

Fugaku was stunned, then began to ponder, "But such actions might be seen as interfering in another country's internal affairs. I'm afraid Hanzo might become wary and refuse to engage with us."

Obito thought about it. This was indeed a problem, but he wasn't worried.

"So, why not wait a few years, until the war fully breaks out, or even reaches the Land of Rain..."

"By then, if we appear in the Land of Rain and show some goodwill, perhaps it won't be us seeking them out, but them coming to us."

Fugaku couldn't help but shake his head, suddenly feeling that compared to Obito, who was skilled in manipulating people's minds, he was nothing but a novice.

A nine-year-old child, why did he have such a way of thinking? Fugaku couldn't understand it, but then again, the ninja world was full of oddities. Perhaps Obito was just one of those oddities.

"You've thought of everything, Obito. I'll leave this matter to you. Let me know when to start, and I'll fully cooperate."

Obito nodded and smiled, "Then let's end our conversation here. Let's go out."

Fugaku nodded, his three tomoe spinning as he released the genjutsu.

Instantly, the two returned to reality.

Although a long time had passed in the genjutsu world, only five seconds had gone by in the real world.

Uchiha Mikoto, who had been holding Itachi with a serious expression, stood up. Seeing the two frozen in place, she knew Obito had been caught in her husband's genjutsu and was likely being interrogated in the genjutsu space.

When the two regained consciousness, she immediately approached Fugaku and said, "Fugaku, Obito is just a child. A little scolding is enough. There's no need to be so serious."

Fugaku smiled and shook his head, "I don't dare treat him as just a child anymore. We just had a conversation in the genjutsu world. I'll explain the details in the room later."

Mikoto was surprised. She glanced at Obito, who looked completely calm, and asked in disbelief, "Obito... remained conscious in your genjutsu?"

She knew Fugaku's genjutsu skills well. Even a regular three-tomoe user wouldn't be able to break free.

Fugaku nodded, "In any case... don't worry. The minor conflict between Obito and me has been resolved. Obito is now one of us and can be trusted."

Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want a simple conversation to end in a bad outcome.

Seeing that his goal had been mostly achieved, Obito said, "Madam, you can ask Clan Leader Fugaku for the details later. I meant no harm. I have a graduation dinner to attend soon, so I won't stay long. Goodbye."

With that, Obito turned to leave.

Just then, Fugaku spoke up, "Wait, take these before you go."

Fugaku suddenly pulled out a sealing scroll from his sleeve and unsealed it.

Inside were a considerable amount of money and several Uchiha clan jutsu scrolls.

Fugaku said, "I was planning to give these to you today. It's not much, but it's a token of my appreciation."

Obito glanced at the contents and noticed it was much more generous than what he had received in his previous life. He smiled, "Since Clan Leader Fugaku intended to give these to me, I won't refuse."

He stepped forward, took the sealing scroll from Fugaku, formed a hand seal, and stored the items back into the scroll.

Then, holding the sealing scroll, he nodded slightly at the two and left the clan leader's residence.

Mikoto's eyes showed a hint of surprise, "He knows sealing techniques? And he's quite skilled at them. I thought he was going to carry all that stuff away."

Fugaku smiled, "He knows a lot of things. At first, I was surprised, but now I'm almost numb to it..."

———

On the other side, after parting ways with Fugaku, Obito returned home and stored the jutsu scrolls from the sealing scroll in a safe place.

The advanced jutsu on these scrolls, including B-rank and above Fire Release techniques and various shuriken-throwing techniques, were things he already knew. So, they held little value for him and were more like collectibles.

The money, however, was always welcome. Looking at the additional 500,000 ryo in his hands, Obito nodded in satisfaction.

Due to his usual lack of funds, Obito's life had been quite frugal. He couldn't even afford to treat Rin to a nice meal.

Now, he could finally improve his lifestyle a bit.

With that in mind, Obito headed out, returning to the ninja academy...
