Indeed, as a time traveler, Kaoru's sudden appearance shattered all the conventions of the ninja world. From the perspective of Black Zetsu, who has been guiding and influencing the history of the ninja world since ancient times, Kaoru, even if an existence completely beyond his expectations, is a highly unstable factor.
"Black Zetsu... Obito..." Your goal today is the Rinnegan. Although your purposes may differ, it's obvious..." Kaoru, with a somewhat mocking tone, turned his gaze once again to Black Zetsu and Obito at his feet. "You no longer have that opportunity now..."
He seemed completely unphased by Kaoru's appearance... Black Zetsu silently thought.
Perhaps it was Black Zetsu's appearance that gave Obito, who had been nervously activating Kamui in fear, a little bit of confidence. Obito's remaining eye flickered with crimson, and he looked up at Kaoru on the high platform and said: "Uchiha Kaoru, I don't know what your purpose is in obtaining the Rinnegan... but the Rinnegan is an indispensable piece in all our plans..."
For Rin, for the ideal world... "Today, no matter what... we will not let you get the Rinnegan..." Obito's gaze towards Kaoru grew more resolute as he thought of his deepest secret and his pursuit of that ideal world.
"Is that so... then I don't mind turning you two into corpses..." Kaoru's tone was indifferent as he spoke, and a boundless, ominous atmosphere began to envelop everyone.
"Obito, although your Kamui ability makes you like an annoying cockroach difficult to kill, you don't have any other particularly effective attack methods..." Kaoru quickly analyzed the situation, looking at the two in front of him. "The most concerning thing now is this mysterious Black Zetsu..."
From the original story, Black Zetsu hasn't revealed many of his abilities, but he was the one who single-handedly ambushed and killed Uchiha Madara in the Six Paths form. Although the details are mysterious, Kaoru knew he couldn't afford to be careless.
"Black Zetsu probably uses some Yin-Yang Release techniques, but he himself has no physical form and represents the will of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Besides divine arts and Yin-Yang Release, he might have no other effective means to suppress him..." In an instant, Kaoru had already judged Black Zetsu's approximate abilities.
"Uchiha Kaoru, you're extremely difficult to deal with, but... we still have ways to fight you!" Obito spoke, and to everyone's surprise, countless White Zetsu began to rise from the ground!
These White Zetsu densely filled the entire Hokage Building, and many of the organization's members were affected by White Zetsu's spores, starting to absorb chakra and becoming immobile!
"What are these things?!"
"Damn it, my chakra is decreasing?!"
Many organization members were at a loss when faced with the sudden situation.
"Did they really bring the entire White Zetsu army…?" Seeing the scene of White Zetsu filling the entire hall, Kaoru frowned. Obito, that guy, was willing to go all out to kill him!
But it's just as well—didn't he promise Nagato and Konan to heal Nagato's legs? Now, the materials he needed have arrived...
"All White Zetsu, prepare! Follow the plan and attack Kaoru with all your might!" Obito waved to give orders, and Black Zetsu, beside him, seemed to sink his body and prepare to strike.
Follow the plan? What kind of plan can defeat the Susanoo of mine?
Kaoru, with a bit of amusement, quietly waited for the White Zetsu army's attack.
"Move!"
A White Zetsu roared, and countless figures rushed toward Kaoru! Not recklessly, but with clear layers and levels!
"Ridiculous—just a bunch of foot soldiers combined, still foot soldiers. These useless White Zetsu?!" As he spoke, a giant figure of light materialized, completely enveloping Kaoru. The giant of light instantly transformed six arms, wielding weapons that spun and flickered. The White Zetsu that charged at Kaoru was still far from him; before they could get close, they were cut into pieces by the giant sword in Susanoo's hand!
Splattering flesh and blood, scattered limbs, mutilated bodies—this was no longer a fight but one-sided slaughter!
But Obito, for his part, dared not recklessly attack Kaoru with Kamui. During the absorption and release of objects, his body couldn't hide in the other dimension. Moreover, Kaoru had Susanoo protecting him, making it impossible for Obito to touch Kaoru's body.
"This... is this hell...?"
The scene before him felt so familiar. When Rin died, he seemed to have done the same... No thought, only slaughter...
No! Reality is hell. Since Rin's death, this has never changed!
Kaoru's slaughter made Obito tremble inside. He briefly doubted himself, struggled, but that doubt was fleeting.
"Truly, this is a power that can only be unlocked with the Mangekyō Sharingan—Susanoo..." Obito's black Zetsu said with admiration. "Perfect defense, powerful attack—this is a formidable ninjutsu that combines offense and defense!"
"If I hadn't made that foolish decision back then, I would already have Susanoo now. Fighting Kaoru wouldn't be so exhausting..." Obito frowned at Black Zetsu's words. He sighed inwardly—if he hadn't been soft-hearted then, giving his left eye to Kakashi...
"No, aside from Susanoo, Kaoru's own strength is unbelievable. My sneak attack was supposed to succeed 100%, but he countered it with that strange ninjutsu. I was confident it would work perfectly back then!" Black Zetsu's voice grew hoarser.
"Unlike in a chaotic world, today's ninja world still sees occasional wars, but they're within control. Compared to that era, the ninja's strength is no longer comparable—ninjas born into constant battle. But Kaoru's performance feels like he's taking me back to that bygone era!"
"What do you mean?" Obito raised an eyebrow. This statement sounded strange—what exactly does "that bygone era" refer to…?
"No, it's nothing. Just a faint consciousness of Madara, my true body, feeling a bit nostalgic seeing what's happening before me..." Black Zetsu replied, with a deep, barely perceptible tone of seriousness in his eyes.
"Awooooh!!"
"Ahhh!"
Countless White Zetsu roared as they trampled over the remains and corpses of their comrades, rushing toward Kaoru. Meanwhile, Kaoru, like a death god, was harvesting life!
"Alright, I should act now!" Obito clenched his fists, then activated his illusion and disappeared instantly.
Moments later, Obito reappeared behind Kaoru, not knowing when he had a long katana in hand, swinging it toward Kaoru. At the same time!
"Fire Style! Gale Wind Dance!" Obito's only visible right eye erupted with swirling flames!
Uchiha Obito... Kaoru frowned. The Fire Style and Obito's katana struck Kaoru's Susanoo, but not even a crack appeared. Kaoru's mind moved, and one of Susanoo's arms instantly swung toward Obito!
"Illusion!!"
Just as Susanoo was about to attack Obito, Obito swiftly activated his illusion to dodge. In the next moment, Obito retreated, and countless White Zetsu surged again.
"This is so troublesome..."
Kaoru couldn't help but say. These White Zetsu were weak individually, but in large numbers, their waves of attacks made Kaoru's surroundings filled with White Zetsu figures and corpses, greatly irritating him.
Susanoo's sword flashed, slicing through the air, leaving behind severed halves of White Zetsu bodies. The spray of mist made Kaoru frown slightly, blinking his eyes briefly.
"Fire Style: Gale Wind Dance!" Obito's gloomy voice sounded from behind. Kaoru opened his eyes and turned back. The same Fire Style, with his sword, was directed at Susanoo.
