"Hmph." Obito suddenly snorted coldly, his eyes turning sharp behind the holes in his mask. "But there's one thing you'd better remember."

His voice turned cold as he slowly said, "I can heal Afei, but I can also remove him from your body immediately—turning you back into that cripple who's not long for this world! Understand?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze upon hearing this.

Itachi Uchiha's heart sank, and his pupils contracted slightly.

"Hehe! That's right, that's right! Kid, you better behave! Wherever I tell you to go, you have to go!"

Ah Fei chuckled smugly, his voice tinged with a strange sense of triumph.

Obito laughed in anger upon hearing this.

This dog, Afei.

He shook his head, then snorted irritably and raised his voice to command, "Tobi! Remember, from now on, when you're out on missions, you must obey Itachi's orders and don't cause any trouble!"

"Ah? Why!"

Afei let out a disappointed wail, his voice filled with intense resentment, "I was the one who met you first! Why should I listen to this kid?!"

He grumbled and complained, clearly quite unhappy about having to obey Itachi.

I thought I would finally be free from that dark underground place and be able to go out and have fun with this guy named Itachi, but I never expected that in the end I would still be controlled by someone.

As Itachi Uchiha listened to the bickering between the two, his brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful glint flashed in his dark eyes.

He naturally understood that every word Obito said was true.

On the surface, he remained calm, but in his heart, he was already thinking rapidly: If he took this Afei and defected from the Akatsuki organization now, what were the chances of success?

The guy named Afei on my body doesn't seem to be very intelligent. Maybe I can try to control him with illusion magic...

Obito seemed to notice the fleeting, unusual look in Itachi's eyes, but he didn't point it out, as if he didn't care at all. Instead, he chuckled and said, "I'm looking forward to your performance next, Uchiha Itachi!"

The next second, a violent vortex suddenly spun in his right eye socket!

As space distorted, a powerful temporal chakra surged forth, engulfing both figures.

In a secluded mountain stream within the Land of Rain, Black Zetsu and Kisame Hoshigaki remained where they were, silently waiting for their companion to return.

Dark clouds rolled and churned in the gloomy sky, and a light drizzle slowly slid down the cliff face, enveloping the entire valley in a cold and damp atmosphere.

The mountain stream was silent. The damp, cold mountain wind swept across the cliffs and treetops, rustling a few withered leaves. Only a chilling, howling mountain wind continued to whisper in the background.

Suddenly, a low, swirling sound echoed through the deserted forest.

A vortex-shaped spatial rift suddenly appeared, and then Obito and Itachi Uchiha appeared side by side on the mountain path.

"Ok?"

Almost the instant the two landed, Kisame, who had been waiting, noticed.

He suddenly stood up, his tall frame towering, and strode forward, brandishing Samehada. "Ichi-san, what's that thing on you?!"

At this moment, Itachi Uchiha was completely enveloped in a strange white substance, with several thin, sharp white spikes standing upright around his neck, making him look terrifying.

Even Kisame Hoshigaki couldn't help but be shocked by such a sight.

Just then, Zetsu, on the other side, stared at Itachi in disbelief, his hoarse, deep voice trembling with unusual intensity: "This... Obito actually let Tobi possess Itachi?!"

Upon hearing this, Obito glanced at Black Zetsu indifferently, "That's right. From now on, Tobi will follow Itachi."

He turned to Black Zetsu and instructed, "Ze, remember to keep in touch with A-Fei at all times."

Jue nodded immediately: "Understood."

During this conversation, Obito and Black Zetsu made no attempt to avoid mentioning Itachi Uchiha.

In fact, Obito deliberately let Itachi hear it.

He wanted Itachi to know very clearly that as long as Itachi was still wearing Tobi's clothes, everything he did, every move he made, would be under the surveillance and control of Obito Uchiha.

Upon hearing this, Itachi Uchiha's expressionless face finally twitched slightly, and his eyes darkened.

Obito, who was standing to the side, took in the subtle changes in Itachi's expression. His single eye under the mask narrowed slightly, as if this was all within his expectations.

Chapter 189 That's awesome! Let's get to a crowded place!

After confirming that Itachi Uchiha was out of danger, Obito did not linger in the mountain stream for long. Satisfied, he left with Zetsu and headed towards Amegakure.

Nagato is still waiting for him in Amegakure.

It's getting dark.

Obito and Black Zetsu appeared silently on the jungle path leading to Amegakure.

As the two approached Amegakure, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.

The two walked side by side in silence, the fallen leaves slippery underfoot, making a soft rustling sound in the rain.

Black Zetsu lowered his head as if deep in thought. After a moment, he suddenly looked up as if he had just realized something: "So the reason you were in such a hurry to find White Zetsu was to treat Itachi Uchiha?"

At this point, a hint of admiration crept into his voice. "Indeed, judging from the situation just now, Itachi's body was already at its limit. If he didn't receive treatment soon, he probably wouldn't live for more than a few days."

Obito paused upon hearing this: "Huh?"

He turned his head to look at Black Zetsu, a hint of doubt flashing in his single eye, as if he hadn't quite grasped Black Zetsu's words.

Black Zetsu nodded knowingly, a rare look of admiration on his face: "Obito, you really pulled off that brilliant move!"

Obito was increasingly confused. He didn't immediately realize what Black Zetsu was suddenly praising, and wondered what was wrong with this guy.

But Black Zetsu became more and more excited as he spoke.

If we're talking about who understands the Uchiha clan best in the world, Black Zetsu definitely ranks high on the list.

Since his "mother" was sealed away, he has cooperated with too many Uchiha.

Even among the countless Uchiha he had worked with, Itachi Uchiha's talent was extremely rare.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu couldn't help but sigh sincerely: "Uchiha Itachi is a rare talent! However, he is not only seriously ill, but his loyalty is also questionable. His attitude on missions is usually very lax. Now that Tobi is possessing him, not only has his illness been cured, but we can also monitor him at all times to ensure his loyalty and efficiency. His life is now firmly in our hands!"

Black Zetsu clicked his tongue in amazement, "Incredible, Obito! You've truly impressed me now!"

"..." Obito was speechless for a moment upon hearing this.

He wanted to say that he hadn't really thought that much about it; he was just trying it out.

However, after being reminded by Black Zetsu, he thought about it again and realized that things were indeed as Black Zetsu said: his unintentional act had actually yielded multiple benefits, achieving three goals at once.

Obito was also very satisfied with his extraordinary wisdom.

Not only did they rescue Itachi, a rare talent, but they also added an insurmountable layer of security to him.

Even better, they could use Itachi's connections to subtly extract more valuable information from the talkative but extremely wary Tobi...

You know, although Afei isn't very bright, he's very wary of me.

If Itachi were to make contact, it would be a different story.

Realizing this, Obito's normally calm heart couldn't help but race slightly.

A slight smile played on his lips as he gave a smug hum: "Hmph! Black Zetsu, you still have a lot to learn."

Obito stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of smugness in his eyes. "Trying to see through my scheme? Hmph, you're still a long way off! Hahaha!"

Hearing Obito's sudden, exaggerated laughter, a meaningful glint flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes, and he chuckled along, half-jokingly.

In the rain, two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, heading towards the direction of Amegakure.

……

Beside the stream at the foot of the mountain, Itachi Uchiha sat quietly on a slippery rock, motionless, seemingly unaware that a light rain had begun to fall, leaving his shoulders damp with a dark sheen.

A long time has passed since Obito left, and Itachi has been silently gazing at the stream, lost in thought.

The cool stream reflected his eerie figure encased in white armor, making Kisame Hoshigaki, who was standing nearby, look on with worry.

Kisame had secretly glanced at Itachi's body, which was covered in white substance, more than once—the situation was truly bizarre.

However, what worried him more than this strange external change was Itachi's condition.

Since "Master" left, Itachi has been sitting silently with a solemn expression, seemingly lost in thought.

The air around us seemed to freeze, so quiet that only the patter of raindrops and the babbling of a distant stream could be heard.

"Hey--"

In the dead silence, a cheerful voice kept emanating from Itachi's body, chattering and breaking the stillness, "What are you sitting there like an idiot for! Move around! Stop spacing out!"

Kisame Hoshigaki stood to the side, looking at Itachi with some concern.

The sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds obscured the sky, and the light in the valley became increasingly dim.

After waiting for a long time, Kisame finally couldn't help but speak softly, "Ichigo-san, are you... alright?"

Itachi remained silent and ignored him.

The sky grew increasingly gloomy, and a cold, damp wind swept across the mountain stream.

Kisame looked up at the rolling dark clouds and called out again, "It looks like it's going to rain heavily, Ichiba-san."

Kisame had barely finished speaking.

Tick, tick.

The rain did indeed begin to intensify, hitting the leaves and rocks and splashing up tiny droplets.

Uchiha Itachi slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then exhaled a long breath, as if expelling the pent-up emotions and worries in his chest.

When he opened his eyes again, his expression had returned to its usual calm and indifference.

"I am fine."

"Let's go back to Amegakure."

Hearing Itachi finally speak, Kisame breathed a slight sigh of relief and picked up Samehada, about to agree.

Before he could even speak, a joyful shout rang out from Itachi: "Great! Let's get to a crowded place!!"

Afei shouted excitedly, his voice filled with inexplicable excitement and anticipation.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Itachi frowned deeply, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
