In the rain, the mountains were a little hazy, and the figure on the cliff was leisurely watching the war that was started because of him in the distance.

Kumo shinobi and Konoha shinobi were starting a confrontation around the two tails. Konoha shinobi thought that Kumo shinobi might try to capture the two tails with the tailed beast, while Kumo shinobi were worried that Konoha might try to capture the two tails. The two sides started a war because of a lack of intelligence. They could not ask each other, and even if they did, they would not believe each other's words.

Sometimes, misunderstanding is truly dangerous.

Yoru, who had provoked the war, was watching the battle below as if it were a play. He had already thought about how to explain it after returning, so now he could watch the play leisurely. Suddenly, there was a distortion in the rain beside Yoru, and a person wearing a spiral mask appeared beside him.

"It seems you're recovering well, Obito," Yoru glanced at the masked figure and said.

"For our future plans, please call me Madara," Obito nodded in response.

"Well, the name is just a code name anyway. It doesn't matter what you're called. Why are you interested in coming here?" Yoru wondered.

Before, Madara had seemed to throw Obito into a secret mission. Madara didn't say anything about the mission, and Obito was fine with that. He could probably find out anyway. They were still allies, and they would not antagonize each other until the plan was completed.

"Zetsu just informed me that there was an outbreak of a tailed beast here, so I came to take a look. Did you do this?" Obito thought that Yoru had forcibly released the seal of the tailed beast, but in fact, he didn't know that the seal was still there. This time, it was the other party who fell into despair and took the initiative to transform into a tailed beast.

"Obviously, isn't it? For our future plans, I think we must know the strength of the tailed beast in advance. I happened to encounter one during a mission, so I thought, why not take a look?"

Yoru's tone at this time showed that he didn't consider the tailed beast as a threat at all. This couldn't help but make Obito curious about Yoru's true strength. He already knew that Yoru was Madara's collaborator, and theoretically, his strength might be above him. But he never understood what Yoru's ability was. Even if he occasionally observed Yoru's fighting style, it was very ordinary, and there didn't seem to be any other special abilities.

But he knew not to underestimate Yoru. Those eyes that seemed to contain the abyss were not something that an ordinary ninja could have.

"Why didn't you capture the two tails? You should be able to do it with your abilities." Thinking like this, Obito asked directly.

"Why do you want to capture it directly?"

"What?"

"The tailed beast is an important military force for the great nations. If I rush to capture it now, Konoha will definitely suspect me, and Kumo shinobi will definitely hunt me. It may even cause other nations to be alert in advance and make them hide their tailed beasts. Then, it will become more difficult to complete our plan. Now is not the best opportunity to capture the tailed beast. The best opportunity will come after this war." Yoru calmly stated his plans.

It might be nice to catch the tailed beast now, but then they would only get one. It would arouse the vigilance of all the nations. If their goal was a single-tailed beast, then now would be the best time to capture the two tails. But their goal was to capture all nine tailed beasts.

"After this war?"

"After the war will come a period of peace. Peace will make the people relax their vigilance. At that time, we only need to investigate the locations of all the tailed beasts, capture the tailed beasts in one fell swoop, and extract all tailed beasts before all the countries react. This is the correct execution method to achieve our goal. To do this, we need information about the tailed beast to make sure nothing goes wrong and an elite team of ninjas to quickly capture the tailed beasts."

Yoru's few simple words had already described a huge plan. The current war was just an outpost. Use the war to continuously liberate the tailed beasts and collect information on the tailed beasts. Because the appearance of a tailed beast in war was not surprising, it would not make people suspect anything.

In peacetime, when people had almost forgotten about war, they would catch all the tailed beasts in one fell swoop. This plan seemed simple but was extremely feasible. Now, Obito understood why Madara was collaborating with Yoru. The ability to take the whole world as a chessboard and have insight into the pattern of thinking of every nation was, to be honest, quite frightening.

"With your strategic ability, Konoha actually only asked you to perform tasks with Shisui's group, instead of letting you plan the entire war as a strategist. It's quite ironic." Thinking of this, Obito couldn't help but be sarcastic.

After seeing Yoru's ability, Obito felt that if he were to plan this ninja war, Konoha might have already won. Even if they were not winning, they would not face the pincer attack of two great nations at the same time.

"Shisui is already dazzling enough. Neither the third Hokage nor Danzo, who is hiding in the dark, hopes that the Uchiha clan will have another genius ninja, especially a tactician like me. If they follow my plan and win, then after the war, how to arrange my position will be a problem. For now, the candidate for the fourth Hokage is Orochimaru. Naturally, I don't want to have an accident, just like Konoha's once-brilliant White Fang." Yoru said with a smile containing a hint of irony.
