Nara Keisuke's method for handling Uchiha Obito was very simple.
Bring him back to the Land of Hot Water, then dump him within the range of a Konoha ninja's daily patrol, and then...
"Report, sir! The patrol team found a suspicious person northwest of the camp!"
A ninja from the Inuzuka Clan flickered into the Konoha camp's main tent, respectfully reporting to the Frontline Commander.
"After preliminary confirmation by the patrol, the person appears to be a... KIA ninja... from the Uchiha Clan!
"He claims to be a disciple of the Yellow Flash, and his name is Uchiha Obito."
"Suzaku-aniki."
Nara Keisuke (Doppelganger) looked at the new Chief of Staff to the side and gestured.
"Please go and confirm his identity. If it's correct, send the news back to the village, the Uchiha Clan, and Minato-aniki."
After Nara Shikaku, Uchiha Shisui, and the others were transferred from the Land of Hot Water front, the village sent some "reinforcements."
Nara Suzaku, who was once in charge of raising deer in the Nara Forest, was transferred to the Land of Hot Water and given the position of "tool"—ah, no, "Chief of Staff" by Nara Keisuke.
"Yes, sir!"
Nara Suzaku nodded meticulously and left the main tent with the Inuzuka ninja.
Although there was no war on the front, Nara Suzaku, as Chief of Staff, had almost nothing to do on a daily basis.
But he took the job of "Chief of Staff" very seriously.
This was a mission from the Clan Head!
'It seems my main body has handled everything over there...'
The [Shadow Doppelganger] stretched lazily, planning to slack off a bit more.
'Doing nothing, just watching the house. What a beautiful job...'
While the [Shadow Doppelganger] was slacking off, Nara Keisuke (main body) brought the [Large Sealing Scroll] to the temporary research base near the Konoha camp.
He had just watched Uchiha Obito get found and brought back by the Konoha patrol, and only then did he choose to leave.
Nara Keisuke had no intention of "personally" bringing Uchiha Obito back.
Since he "mysteriously disappeared" on the battlefield, he could just "mysteriously return."
As for what happened to Uchiha Obito after his return—whether he was questioned by Hiruzen Sarutobi, examined by Shimura Danzō, or protected by Minato Namikaze...
That was outside of Nara Keisuke's consideration.
Unlike his subordinate Uchiha Shisui, Nara Keisuke himself had no favorable impression of Uchiha Obito.
He only saved him as an afterthought because they were from the same village and he hadn't "completely lost it" yet.
Otherwise, if it were the future Tobi who deceived his master, exterminated his ancestors, and slaughtered his clan...
Nara Keisuke not blasting him to death would only be because [Kamui]'s escape speed was too fast.
He was unwilling to convict someone for things that hadn't happened yet.
So Nara Keisuke didn't act against Uchiha Obito.
But expecting him to carefully handle the aftermath?
He'd rather use this time to read a few more scrolls!
Inside the temporary research base.
Nara Keisuke took the [Large Sealing Scroll] from his back and, one by one, took out the many ninjutsu data scrolls he'd just brought back from the Land of Iron.
The panel continuously displayed notifications.
Even though Nara Keisuke had mastered a huge number of ninjutsu, Uchiha Madara's personal collection was simply too rich.
The learning prompts on the panel popped up and refreshed like a virus, not stopping for a long time.
Nara Keisuke focused on the numerous prompts on the panel, scanning ten lines at a time as he took inventory.
"Just as I thought, the contents of those four A-Rank [Secret Ninja Scrolls] really do overlap with Madara's personal collection."
Nara Keisuke pulled two A-Rank scrolls from the mountain-like pile in front of him.
"One is [Yin Release: Thunder Dispatch], and the other... isn't really an overlap."
Nara Keisuke looked at the [Black Receiver Forging Method] in his hand, a look of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
He had previously gotten an A-Rank Miscellaneous Item [Black Receiver] from Old Man Madara's [Secret Ninja Scroll].
That rod was a "chakra weapon" created from nothing by Old Man Madara's Yin-Yang Release.
Nara Keisuke himself couldn't use the [Black Receiver].
Because it was created by Madara's Yin and Yang chakra, it would only resonate with his chakra.
His original plan was to study the [Black Receiver] and, from that, develop his own exclusive chakra weapon.
He didn't expect this A-Rank scroll, [Black Receiver Forging Method], would save him so much time.
[A-Rank Technique: Black Receiver Forging Method]
[Description: Yin-Yang Release Jutsu! Forge weapons with chakra!]
[Effect: Simultaneously use Yin and Yang chakra to create a hard [Black Receiver] from nothing. The [Black Receiver] resonates with one's own chakra and has a strong disruptive effect on other chakras.]
[Evaluation: Stop jamming it in! It'll break!]
Compared to the A-Rank item, this A-Rank technique scroll described the [Black Receiver]'s properties much more clearly.
In fact, the [Black Receiver] wasn't just used as a simple weapon.
In the future, Nagato controlling the Six Paths of Pain, and Uchiha Obito (Rinnegan version) controlling the Edo Jinchuriki, both used specially forged [Black Receivers] as "remote controllers."
For "corpses" like the Six Paths of Pain and the Edo Jinchuriki, the control effect of the [Black Receiver] was excellent.
Nara Keisuke didn't really need [Black Receivers] to remotely control bodies, but the [Black Receiver Forging Method] was still very valuable to him.
"On one hand, I can use this to forge my own specialized chakra weapons. Who decreed that Yin-Yang Release creations must be limited to one form? It's just a matter of shape-transformation difficulty..."
Nara Keisuke weighed the scroll in his right hand, then extended his left. He released his Yin and Yang chakra, strictly following the method recorded in the [Black Receiver Forging Method].
"On the other hand, this hard, near-permanent chakra weapon... couldn't it be used as a backup ninja tool for the [Chakra Crystal]?"
Yin and Yang chakra fused in Nara Keisuke's palm, creating a fingernail-sized black pebble from nothing.
Nara Keisuke deliberately limited the chakra output, which is why the [Black Receiver] became a "black pebble."
Pinching the "pebble" between two fingers, Nara Keisuke then tried to infuse his normal chakra into it.
Streams of chakra flowed into the "pebble," but its black appearance didn't change, nor did its size.
Nara Keisuke cut off the flow. The "pebble" remained the same.
He sensed the chakra within this small piece of [Black Receiver], and just as he did with the [Chakra Crystal], he resonated with the internal chakra and released it.
Strips of black shadow tentacles drilled out of the [Black Receiver]—it was the Nara Clan's secret [Shadow Binding Jutsu]!
"From the looks of it, the [Black Receiver] and the [Chakra Crystal] are very similar. They can be used as backups for each other."
Nara Keisuke lightly rubbed the smooth surface of the small [Black Receiver].
"It makes me wonder if the [Chakra Crystal] was also a Yin-Yang Release creation from some historical figure..."
He mentally added "Refining the Shape Transformation of the [Black Receiver Forging Method]" to his daily research plan.
Nara Keisuke then turned his gaze back to the mountain of scrolls and data, a look of eagerness on his face.
"Yin-Yang Release secret techniques, Rinnegan Six Paths dōjutsu, Uzumaki Clan sealing jutsu, Wood Release, Storm Release...
"You really had some good stuff, Old Man Madara!"
