As with the previous times, inside the gold gift box was a scroll.
The moment Uchiha En's hand touched the scroll, it vanished, and a new skill appeared in Uchiha En's mind.
Skill Name: [Puppetry]
Skill Type: Active Skill
Skill Effect: After learning, you can turn enemies who have lost the ability to resist into puppets that obey your commands.
Skill Consumption: Determined by the enemy's Chakra amount and strength.
Friendly Reminder: This skill cannot be upgraded, and its cooldown is very long. Players are advised to use it cautiously.
After reading this skill description, Uchiha En's eyes lit up. Isn't this a high-end version of Kotoamatsukami?
It can control enemies who have lost the ability to resist, and this jutsu is not a genjutsu, so the Ninja World's conventional methods of identifying genjutsu cannot detect it at all.
Of course, this jutsu is not without flaws. The two most obvious drawbacks are that when using this jutsu to control powerful enemies, you must first defeat the enemy, and then have enough Chakra to control them.
With these two prerequisites, it means that at this stage, Uchiha En probably can't use this jutsu on the Konoha higher-ups.
Then he can only settle for second best and plant some pawns in other Ninja villages.
Uchiha En pondered for a while, and two suitable candidates came to mind. Now it just depends on who he encounters first.
"En, something happened!" Yamanaka Kagetsu's voice interrupted Uchiha En's thoughts.
Uchiha En looked up and asked, "What happened? Are the Kirigakure Ninja attacking again?"
"No, no, it's Kakashi, Minato-senpai's disciple. He really got promoted to Jonin!"
Uchiha En was stunned to hear that Kakashi had been promoted to Jonin!
This meant that Kakashi's Chidori was already taking shape, and the Battle of Kannabi Bridge was about to break out.
He just didn't know who Uchiha Madara had chosen as his representative at this stage.
Thinking of this, Uchiha En glanced at the area below the camp, intentionally or unintentionally.
At this time, he could still sense the presence of White Zetsu below the camp, meaning White Zetsu had not given up on monitoring him.
If Uchiha Madara ultimately chose him, would that mean Obito would be abandoned?
"En, do you think Kakashi really has the strength of a Jonin?" Yamanaka Kagetsu asked.
Uchiha En pondered Kakashi's current "configuration" upon hearing this.
Frankly, Uchiha En felt that Kakashi should have the strength of a Special Jonin, not quite a Jonin. His promotion to Jonin was most likely because Konoha at this stage needed a genius to boost morale.
And Kakashi, as the son of Konoha's White Fang and a disciple of Minato Namikaze, was from a good background. Coupled with Kakashi being a genius since childhood, constantly breaking Ninja records, promoting him to Jonin at this time was most appropriate.
After hearing Uchiha En's analysis, Yamanaka Kagetsu felt somewhat more balanced, but Uchiha En's next sentence immediately deflated Yamanaka Kagetsu.
"Kagetsu, Kakashi is most likely not a match for me and Asana, but his strength is undoubtedly stronger than yours. You still need to work hard." After saying that, Uchiha En patted Yamanaka Kagetsu's shoulder and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, in the mysterious underground space, Uchiha Madara was also hesitating about who to choose as his representative.
After a period of observation, Uchiha Madara's candidates were actually down to only two people.
These two people were Uchiha En and Uchiha Obito.
Uchiha En was more talented, in terms of temperament and strength, he was superior to Uchiha Obito in every aspect.
Logically, Uchiha En should have been the best choice.
However, Uchiha Madara always felt that Uchiha En was not so easy to control.
This brat's strength was improving too quickly, making him feel like he couldn't see through him.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara even had the idea of meeting Uchiha En directly.
He wanted to try and gauge Uchiha En's depth, to see what level his strength had reached, and if it was possible for him to be used.
If he was already out of control, then it would be better to eliminate him early, just in case.
Once this thought appeared, it could no longer be suppressed. Uchiha Madara said to Zetsu, "Zetsu, have Tobi bring Uchiha En to me."
"Lord Madara, you want to see him personally?" Zetsu asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, my time is running out. I must quickly decide who will be my representative."
White Zetsu nodded and asked no further questions.
In the following days, uchiha tohrus squad received several more missions.
This afternoon, as their squad had just completed an A-rank reconnaissance mission and was preparing to return to camp, Uchiha En suddenly sensed several Chakra signatures following them underground.
After Uchiha En's Minds Eye reached max level, everything he sensed was in 3D. Uchiha En immediately identified these things following them underground as White Zetsu.
Among these White Zetsu, there was a very special existence whose Chakra amount and vitality were much stronger than ordinary White Zetsu, clearly a more unique individual among them.
"Could it be Tobi?" Uchiha En thought to himself.
"En, what's wrong? Why is your expression suddenly so serious? Haven't our missions ended?" Asana asked.
"Nothing, I just remembered some unfinished work. You two go back to camp to report! I'll go back and check." Before Asana and Yamanaka Kagetsu could agree, Uchiha En turned around, used several Body Flicker Jutsus, and left them behind.
"Asana, we..."
"Let's go back to camp! En probably has something to handle."
"Shouldn't we follow him?"
"With En's current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter the Fourth Mizukage, he should be fine."
Yamanaka Kagetsu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
After Uchiha En separated from Asana and Yamanaka Kagetsu, he instantly channeled Lightning Release Chakra from his body into the ground. White Zetsu, being only Chunin-level in strength, was instantly killed by such terrifying Lightning Release before they could even escape.
Uchiha En dug open the ground and retrieved White Zetsu's corpse. White Zetsu's entire body was made of first hokages cells, making it very valuable.
Uchiha En glanced at the White Zetsu corpses and found no special individuals among them. Uchiha En frowned and said, "Come out! What's the point of hiding?"
As soon as Uchiha En finished speaking, Tobi emerged from a tree: "Uchiha En, I didn't expect you to discover us."
"Your malice towards me was too obvious. Who are you people?" Uchiha En asked, feigning ignorance.
"Who we are isn't important. What's important is, Uchiha En, someone wants to see you. Come with me!"
