Chapter 378 The Eye of Soul Portrait!
"Obito... Obito?"
Hearing a call from somewhere, Uchiha Obito's consciousness that had been plunged into chaos and darkness gradually woke up.
A head of dazzling short golden hair was immediately reflected in Uchiha Obito's dark eyes.
With his dazzling hair color, familiar appearance, and still somewhat confused, Uchiha Obito immediately locked onto the target.
"Minato-sensei?"
Seeing Uchiha Obito wake up and call out his name, Namikaze Minato felt relieved.
The place where he is now is not Konoha Hospital or other treatment facilities, but still in the root base.
Precisely.
It is the secret prison of the root base.
The "Birth of Flowers and Trees" previously released by Nara Langui has affected the entire Root Base, which naturally includes the secret prison where certain special prisoners are imprisoned in the Root Base.
Many days ago, Uchiha Obito was secretly detained here.
(Being) inspected after being transformed by White Zetsu, and (being) tortured for information about Uchiha Madara.
Naturally, Uchiha Obito couldn't escape the pollen attack from [The Birth of the Flower and Tree World] just now, and was knocked unconscious directly.
When Minato Namikaze followed the chakra perception and came to investigate the situation, he happened to see his student unconscious in the prison.
Uchiha Obito's current situation is really not that good.
Under a messy long black hair, there is a bloodless and skinny face. The extremely thin body is covered with pale patches, as if a thin layer of mottled skin is put on the frame. Even if you don't know medical ninjutsu
, Even Namikaze Minato could realize how bad Uchiha Obito's current physical condition was.
Even without actively thinking about it, Namikaze Minato could sense the inhumane torture that Uchiha Obito suffered.
Poor baby...
Concerned that the ninja's methods might not only be limited to the body, Minato Namikaze tentatively called Uchiha Obito, wanting to see if this child still had the ability to think independently and normally. ability.
Now seeing that Uchiha Obito not only woke up but also called out his name, Namikaze Minato breathed a sigh of relief.
The brain has not been damaged, there seems to be no error in memory, and the Uchiha clan's Sharingan has not been damaged...
it can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
"Obito."
Looking at the student in front of him who seemed to be knocked down by a gust of wind, Namikaze Minato spoke as softly as possible.
"I have already reported to the Third Hokage. I will bring Lin over later and let her give you preliminary treatment, and then...send you to the village hospital for treatment." Namikaze Minato did just talk to
Sarutobi Hiruzen had a good exchange.
The village had been hiding the situation about Uchiha Obito from him, and now he actually noticed Uchiha Obito's chakra in the root base... No matter how he thought about it, Namikaze Minato didn't think that the root would treat Uchiha well
. Obito.
Perhaps it was because he witnessed the death process of Danzo Shimura that Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't lift his spirits at all.
After barely perfunctory words to Namikaze Minato, Sarutobi Hiruzen allowed him to lift Uchiha Obito out of his roots.
In a sense, Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous "fooling" of Namikaze Minato was not really a fool, but the truth.
From Konoha's perspective, Uchiha Obito's special experience is indeed inseparable from the elusive Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Obito is indeed undergoing investigation and interrogation by Konoha.
Can interrogate Uchiha Obito. Where is the need for any troublesome process?
This guy disappeared from the battlefield of Yuno Country, was "rescued" to the mountain cemetery, and then was rescued by Nara Langui... Although Uchiha Obito
played the role of "protagonist" in this process, in fact, He had no idea what was going on.
Basically, just as soon as you close your eyes and open them, something happens...
Uchiha Obito knows nothing about Uchiha Madara except that he knows about Uchiha Madara's survival and that Uchiha Madara controls a group of White Zetsu. .
Konoha also failed to extract any effective information from Uchiha Obito.
Uchiha Madara is alive?
Konoha already knew this.
Does Uchiha Madara have White Zetsu in his hand?
Konoha also has several White Zetsu corpses in hand! The real reason that prompted Uchiha Obito to stay at the root was not the connection between Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara, but Uchiha Obito's special body after being transformed by White Zetsu!
A long time ago, Konoha captured several White Zetsu.
Although they are all corpses, this does not prevent Konoha from studying them.
After some research, Konoha discovered that the cell tissue of this creature called White Zetsu was very similar to plant cells and not like normal human cells.
Considering that White Zetsu can use Wood Release, and that Root has been secretly studying Wood Release...
Uchiha Obito, a "White Zetsu living experimental material", was forcibly left in the Root base.
Shimura Danzo, as well as Orochimaru, both vaguely regarded Uchiha Obito as a breakthrough point in the research on the limits of the wood escape blood inheritance.
Under this circumstance, one can imagine how Uchiha Obito was treated in the root base.
As the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally knew about this.
He had also considered whether to put Uchiha Obito back in the Minato class.
But after all, it's about [Wood Release]...
Minato's team already has a three-tailed Jinchūriki like Hatake Kakashi.
From Konoha's standpoint, we must consider the issue of the three-tailed Jinchuuriki going berserk and out of control.
The Nine-Tails Rebellion has not happened yet.
Uchiha Madara controlled the Nine-Tails to attack Konoha too long ago.
"The Sharingan is enough to suppress tailed beasts", this is information beyond the scope of Konoha's grasp.
But "Wood Release suppresses tailed beasts" is the common understanding of Konoha's top brass!
Although Uchiha Obito has the identity of "Uchiha clan" and "Minato class member".
But at the end of the day, he was just an ordinary Konoha chuunin.
With the help of Uchiha Obito's in-vivo experiment, he developed [Wood Release], and then strengthened the control of the three-tailed jinchuriki, and even the control of the eight-tailed jinchuriki and even the five-tailed jinchuriki in the future... This is quite significant no matter how you calculate it
. A worthwhile deal!
But what Sarutobi Hiruzen never expected was that...
Nebe and Orochimaru had not made any progress on the research issue of Uchiha Obito.
Subsequently.
Orochimaru was deposed.
Now even Danzo Shimura is dead.
As for the [Wood Release] that I had been longing for...
but it appeared in Nara Langui's body!
In this case, what should Uchiha Obito do?
Uchiha Obito, who was the experimental material, had no idea of the reason for Konoha's actions, and his two-point Ken couldn't analyze this reason.
Uchiha, who was straightforward, only knew that he had shed blood for Konoha, that he had performed meritorious service for Konoha, and then... he
was treated as experimental material by Konoha and tortured crazily.
During the days when he was imprisoned in the secret prison of the Root Base, Uchiha Obito longed for someone to rescue him more than once in his heart.
Whether it was the Third Hokage, Teacher Minato, or Chief Fugaku...
even that bastard Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha had secretly fantasized about it.
Unfortunately, no one came.
Some are just endless torture and experiments.
Now I heard Namikaze Minato's words.
There was no fluctuation in Uchiha Obito's heart, only a sky-high resentment.
Uchiha Kenji closed his eyes, his Sharingan opened quietly under his eyelids, and the two magatama were faintly connected together, forming a more complex and special windmill shape.
"Teacher..."
Why did you come now?
