"We're heading to the Akatsuki Organization's base now. In the organization, everyone calls me Tobi. I'm not a full member, just a trainee without much skill! Watch how you address me."
The flickering lamplight made the surrounding mist even thicker. As the small boat swayed, Obito's visible single eye appeared and disappeared, giving off a serious vibe.
"Why hide your true identity?"
Qin Yu, who clearly remembered this part of the story, asked the question as coldly as possible.
Hearing this question, Obito's eyes sharpened. As his gaze changed, the lamplight flickered more violently.
When the shadow once again enveloped Obito, he spoke coldly, "Because it's troublesome if people know Madara Uchiha is still alive!"
Qin Yu wanted to retort at that answer, but considering the current situation, he held back. Going against Obito now certainly wouldn't end well.
Seeing no response from Qin Yu, Obito's indifferent voice came again, "Next, I'll take you to see the leader of the Akatsuki Organization. You will know my true identity!"
Obito's voice echoed on the small boat, while Qin Yu remained unresponsive. This perhaps fit Itachi the Clan Destroyer's character perfectly.
Seeing Qin Yu's lack of response, Obito wasn't surprised. Based on his understanding of Itachi Uchiha, this person only smiled at his younger brother, showing a cold demeanor to everyone else.
The small boat continued to drift, and the mountain in front became more distinct. At that moment, Obito subconsciously glanced at the cliff beside them.
Qin Yu, who had clearly noticed Obito's unusual behavior, immediately became alert.
As the small boat approached the cliff, Obito abandoned it directly, using the Body Flicker Technique to stand on the cliffside.
"Let's go!"
Obito's cold voice rang out, and then he began running along the cliff.
"This scene isn't in the script!"
Qin Yu's expression shifted as he watched Obito disappear into the distance, but Qin Yu wasn't one to rigidly stick to the plan.
The Body Flicker Technique was categorized as a Taijutsu by the system. Having obtained Itachi Uchiha's strength, Qin Yu could naturally use the Body Flicker Technique.
After effortlessly reaching the cliff face, Qin Yu used Chakra to firmly adhere his feet to the rock.
Looking up at Obito, who was currently sprinting, Qin Yu's eyes widened involuntarily. This guy really doesn't do things the conventional way!
However, Qin Yu didn't hesitate. This cliff face wouldn't pose a challenge to Itachi Uchiha, so it wouldn't pose a challenge to Qin Yu either. The rest of Itachi Uchiha's abilities were basically unlocked. The remaining 40% of his strength should be related to the Sharingan.
Following Obito across the cliff, their movements slowed down. After about three hours of running, Obito's pace decreased.
Ahead was a river, and on the opposite bank was a pitch-black stone wall.
Leading the way, Obito went straight through the river. After a few maneuvers on the stone wall, he entered a dark cave entrance.
Qin Yu, who had witnessed Obito's every move, didn't hesitate and followed his lead.
Arriving steadily at the cave entrance, Qin Yu carefully observed the surroundings and found something peculiar. The area around the entrance had natural protection, making it impossible to see the entrance from most angles.
"We're here!"
Obito's hoarse voice echoed. Then, he walked directly into the cave.
Following behind Obito, Qin Yu subconsciously glanced at him. Just now, Qin Yu clearly felt that Obito had closed his eyes.
Or rather, the one controlling the body's movements now wasn't Obito, but the White Zetsu known as Tobi.
Following Tobi through a winding cave, the space ahead gradually widened, and soon a light source appeared in Qin Yu's field of vision.
Looking at this somewhat familiar scene, Qin Yu was a little speechless. If he remembered correctly, he was about to encounter a rather troublesome enemy here.
As if responding to Qin Yu's thoughts, as soon as he approached the light source, a shadow was refracted from the left.
Then, a figure with a playful expression appeared in Qin Yu's field of vision. Only half of his body was visible, and his eyes were like a venomous snake. It was Orochimaru, the scientist.
"Oh my! Isn't this Itachi? Long time no see!"
Orochimaru's somewhat teasing voice echoed, his snake-like aura making the atmosphere in the cave even colder.
"Orochimaru!"
Qin Yu replied coldly. If he remembered correctly, this was the line from Itachi Uchiha in the original story.
Just as the atmosphere was gradually freezing over, Obito suddenly started to act up, saying, "Right, you two are from the same hometown! What a nostalgic reunion!"
The atmosphere was broken by a trainee, and Orochimaru's expression was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything. Obviously, he was more interested in Itachi Uchiha at the moment.
Orochimaru leaned casually against the stone wall of the cave, staring directly at Qin Yu and said, "I heard that you are also a ninja from this side!"
Hearing Orochimaru's voice, Qin Yu didn't react at all, just stared at Orochimaru with his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and then casually asked, "This side?"
"Ninjas who treat relationships like village, family, and companions as burdens!"
Orochimaru's calm words carried a hint of madness, obviously, this guy thought he had found a companion.
"Oh..."
Facing the somewhat crazed Orochimaru, Qin Yu casually responded, then immediately looked at Obito on the side.
Just now, that guy Obito Uchiha had regained control of his body.
"Orochimaru-senpai, I still need to take the new member to see the leader. With this contribution, I might even become a full member!"
It was still Obito's voice, but it was Obito Uchiha controlling the body. Obviously, Obito Uchiha and Tobi were putting on an act.
"With your personality, you probably don't have a chance of becoming a full member!"
Hearing the word "leader," Orochimaru glanced at Tobi with a playful expression and turned to leave.
Qin Yu could tell that Orochimaru had been observing him the entire time. He even licked his tongue, suggesting that he was extremely pleased with Itachi Uchiha's body.
"The Akatsuki Organization forbids internal conflict. Whoever makes the first move is a traitor..."
After Orochimaru walked away, Obito Uchiha's voice came.
Upon hearing this voice, Qin Yu subconsciously looked at Obito Uchiha, only to find that he had already walked towards a different passage from Orochimaru.
Facing Obito's reminder, Qin Yu's eyes gradually turned dangerous. In the original story, the relationship between Itachi Uchiha and Obito wasn't good. Logically, Obito shouldn't be offering a friendly reminder.
"The relationship doesn't seem so strained!"
Looking at Obito's back, Qin Yu murmured to himself and immediately followed his pace.
Oh, whoa (づ●─●)づ
