"Something big has happened, Obito has actually been captured."
White Zetsu always had a clone following Obito, but when they were in the Hidden Mist Village, that clone was almost crushed to death by the Complete Form of Susanoo. Fortunately, it managed to relay the message back.
White Zetsu's method of communication is like a network, with many White Zetsu clones transformed into tree roots beneath the Ninja World. As long as Chakra is transmitted into the roots, the main body and other White Zetsus can receive the message.
While other great nations in the Ninja World are still using Ninja Eagles, White Zetsu has already taken the first step into the era of sending messages via the Internet.
Black Zetsu asked, "Who did it? Obito's Pupil Technique should be one of the hardest to catch in the Ninja World..."
It and White Zetsu had been closely watching Nagato. To Black Zetsu, the Rinnegan was more important than Obito, especially since Nagato was now being targeted by the major nations, treading on a tightrope every day.
"It's Konoha Lightning Fang; that person's speed is so fast that Obito couldn't even react..."
White Zetsu spoke up. Although Black Zetsu was attached to White Zetsu, it was still necessary for White Zetsu to speak out the information. "I think even when facing him, Nagato wouldn't be able to use the Rinnegan's technique."
"Is he really that fast..."
Black Zetsu was shocked and was a bit disbelieving. It remembered that Obito's Space-Time Ninjutsu had already left many unable to react. Faster than that Space-Time Ninjutsu... Wouldn't that make him the Ninja World's number one in God Speed?
"What do we do now?"
"You go and tell Nagato and Fugaku about this. I'm afraid Konoha Lightning Fang's strength is comparable to Madara's, and they can't handle him... I still need to make some preparations. Madara probably never expected that a monster like this would appear in the Ninja World after him and Hashirama."
Black Zetsu spoke up, and fortunately, it knew what Madara knew and his Ninjutsu, just that it was slightly troublesome to utilize them, requiring the use of White Zetsu's body to implement.

Nohara Rin asked in surprise, "Teacher Yoichi, has Obito already been captured?"
"Yes, I captured him personally, and he's now confined in prison. Do you want to see him?"
Uchiha Yoichi nodded and continued, "We've now basically verified many pieces of information. Uchiha Obito is indeed the ninja who killed Namikaze Minato, and he's deeply associated with the Akatsuki Organization, but it should be someone else who harmed you..."
"Obito... he went too extreme. Why didn't he return to Konoha back then?"
After hearing what happened, Nohara Rin, though somewhat grateful for Obito's concern as a comrade when she was being hunted by Hidden Mist Ninja, thought that if he had immediately returned to Konoha upon hearing of her death, he would have learned within a few years that she wasn't really dead, preventing the subsequent events.
"Teacher Yoichi, I don't know if I should see Obito... I'll go ask Kakashi. He probably has a lot to say to Obito."
Uchiha Yoichi said, "Then go ahead, but Obito won't be able to see you. His Sharingan and Space-Time Ninjutsu have already been taken out, otherwise he might escape using Space-Time Ninjutsu."
"I understand. From the moment Obito attacked Konoha, he was no longer a comrade. This is also for the village. But before I go, Teacher Yoichi..."
Nohara Rin licked her red lips and stepped forward with eyes slightly changing, walking past the desk to stand in front of Uchiha Yoichi and whispered, "That matter~ Teacher Yoichi, have you thought about it..."
"Rin, let's not today. Kurenai and Satomi will be back soon, and I have some things to go out for."
Seeing Nohara Rin approaching with alluring eyes, Uchiha Yoichi quickly found an excuse to persuade her, and after a few pecks on her tender cheek, convinced her to leave.
After the girl left, Uchiha Yoichi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had just recovered some energy, and he still had to make it up to Mikota and Minami later in the evening, so he couldn't let this little girl, Nohara Rin, drain him.
Not long after Nohara Rin left, Hyuga Satomi and Yuhi Kurenai returned. Uchiha Yoichi just finished handling some village matters and could delegate tasks to them.
Even though it's still the Konoha Ninja Village, the ratio of ninjas to ordinary people is gradually decreasing, nearing a ratio of ten to one.
The Ninja Academy applied for expansion because more people are applying to join the academy. Now, in the new year, the Ninja Academy has received over four hundred applications.
Even if the classrooms were doubled, they could only admit over two hundred students, so the expansion matter must be approved.
This matter has already been permitted by Uchiha Yoichi. Nonetheless, the graduation period is strictly kept over six years, and after graduation, there's a two-year internship period before permission to enter the battlefield.
This also counts as a small reform for Konoha, gaining approval from many. After all, aside from the children themselves, no one wants to send young ones to the frontlines to die.
Moreover, Konoha's current combat power isn't lacking. Although there hasn't been deliberate military expansion, good things from the Uchiha Race are available yearly; Ninja Suits, premium Soldier Pills, and other Secret Medicines are now in the hands of Konoha Ninja, greatly enhancing Konoha's strength.
If a war were to really break out, Uchiha Yoichi would release a large number of Secret Medicines to the village and each ninja race, potentially boosting Konoha Ninja's strength by thirty percent.
"Satomi, Kurenai, review these documents, and if they match the report, just approve them as usual."
Now the two can handle not very important matters in Konoha Village, such as land expansion and requests to settle in Konoha.
