"Ahem."
"Tell her the specifics."
The three women were taken aback.
Look up.
Then the Seven-Tails of Takigakure arrived.
The three women: "..."
Two tailed beasts at once?
[They really think highly of the current Hidden Cloud Village.]
However.
[When the hempen-clad figure saw the red figure above...]
[His eyes lit up slightly.]
Linen Clothes: "Luckily, I made it in time..."
Azabu: "It would be easier to talk to Kushina-senpai."
no way.
He shook his head.
After all, their identities are different.
The big fox doesn't consider its own feelings.
They were the defeated side.
It's not like the situation with Temari and Minami.
A black-framed Naruto with a big fox design is impossible.
And... why, after surrendering, do you still have to help the other side figure out how to deal with you?
[...]
[Inside the underground base of Kannabi Bridge.]
Obito Uchiha suddenly opened his eyes.
[A three-tomoe Sharingan has been transplanted into his left eye.]
"That's about it."
It slowly rose to its feet.
Remove all the IV lines from your body.
Sitting on the hospital bed.
I looked around.
Something feels off.
But we don't know where the problem lies.
["never mind."]
"Business comes first."
"Hopefully, it's not too late."
["snort!"]
"The three shadows are almost here, working together. They should attract a lot of attention."
[Buzz—]
[A spiral-shaped spatial fluctuation has appeared.]
It's about to take action.
[Let's go check if Itachi and Sasuke have started fighting.]
[call out--]
[The next moment.]
[Obito Uchiha entered the Kamui dimension.]
["Lin..."]
[Obito Uchiha remembered.]
It's been a long time since I visited Lin.
[Once it has fully entered the Divine Might Space.]
[It landed on the stone tablet.]
[He subconsciously looked towards the location where Nohara Rin's body lay.]
[However. ]
[Obito Uchiha was quickly dumbfounded.]
That familiar crystal coffin...
[Disappeared?!]
["Rin?!"]
[Obito Uchiha froze in place.]
[Looking at the crystal coffin that once held Nohara Rin.]
That place became empty.
Obito Uchiha's heart stopped beating.
It just stood there, motionless.
[After a long while.]
[Obito Uchiha closes his eyes.]
He ripped off the orange swirling mask from his face.
[Bang--]
He raised his hand and slammed the orange swirling mask hard onto the ground.
"Kakashi!!!!"
[Obito Uchiha's voice cracked.]
["Yo~"]
[However. ]
Just then.
A familiar voice sounded from behind it.
"Give Lin back to me!"
"Kakashi!!"
Time and time again!
What do you take Kamui for?!
[Um? ]
Suddenly, Obito Uchiha paused, startled.
[He slowly turned around.]
That familiar white-haired boy came into view.
"You only just noticed me?"
["hehe."]
"Obito."
"Kakashi!" Obito Uchiha gasped.
["Lin?"]
"Rin is currently with Kushina-nee."
"We should have arrived at Kumogakure by now."
[Gah——]
Obito Uchiha's mind didn't process it immediately.
[Has Lin... been resurrected?!]
Just like Minato-sensei...
[For a time.]
Even Obito Uchiha couldn't explain his feelings.
[Whoosh—]
At that moment, Kakashi leaped towards its location.
"It's time to end this farce."
"You should be glad that it's me here, not Minato-sensei, or... Kushina-nee."
[...]
[at the same time. ]
[Kannabi Bridge - Underground Base]
[The very bottom layer.]
Black Zetsu watched as Kabuto Yakushi continued his research within the barrier.
"Obito has left."
[The voice of the White Zetsu himself sounded from behind.]
"Is that so?"
Where are the Raikage, Mizukage, and Tsuchikage now?
Black Zetsu replied without turning his head.
"The Ruins of the Land of Whirlpools."
"Expected to enter the Land of Fire tomorrow morning."
"Deploy all the White Zetsu."
"The plan has changed."
"They are no longer needed at the front lines of the Allied Forces."
[The White Zetsu in its true form frowned slightly.]
"In that case, that coalition of ninjas probably won't last long."
["besides."]
"What the Eight-Tails says."
"Things aren't looking good on the battlefield over there."
"Without reinforcements, we're probably going to be captured."
Black Zetsu waved his hand.
"It's alright."
"As long as he's not dead, that's fine. Otherwise, we'd have to wait for the Eight-Tails to revive."
"It seems Obito is heading to Sasuke and Itachi's place," White Zetsu added after a moment's thought.
"Go ahead."
"It doesn't matter anymore, as long as we succeed here, nothing else matters."
"Should the Rinnegan be retrieved?"
"I have a feeling that Obito, that good-for-nothing, is very likely to fail again," said the White Zetsu in his true form.
"Never mind it."
Black Zetsu watched as Kabuto Yakushi began attempting hand seals.
[A slight upturn at the corner of his mouth.]
"It's about to begin."
"The last trump card."
"However, it will take some more time."
"Have you connected to all the White Zetsu?"
The White Zetsu nodded slightly. "All done."
"What should we do next?"
"Disperse all White Zetsu."
"Use the art of disguise."
"Infiltrate every corner of the ninja world."
"Avoid exposing yourself if possible."
The White Zetsu itself did not respond.
It closed its eyes and began issuing commands to all the White Zetsu.
"Accurate, real-time intelligence is needed next."
"I ascertain the location of all the Jinchūriki."
[Sudden. ]
Black Zetsu shut up.
[at this time. ]
[Inside the barrier.]
[Yakushi Kabuto has begun to formally perform the hand seals.]
"Impure World Reincarnation!"
"Ah~!!!"
[Edo Tensei Technique Center.]
[White Zetsu screamed in agony.]
[A short while later.]
White paper scraps appeared out of thin air.
[And with incredible speed, it covered every inch of Shiro's skin.]
[Buzz—]
[soon. ]
The white paper scraps blended together and took shape.
[Next.]
[He transformed into a completely unfamiliar body.]
Kabuto's pupils suddenly contracted.
[not good! ]
[Whoosh—]
[The next moment.]
[Kabuto Yakushi disappears from the spot.]
["who is he?"]
Why does he look so much like Madara Uchiha?
[Kabuto Yakushi, without turning his head, asked from behind the barrier.]
His eyes were fixed intently on the person he had resurrected using Edo Tensei.
Black Zetsu looked at the familiar figure and smiled.
"There's one more."
The pharmacist frowned slightly.
That last moment.
He thought he was going to die.
"Leave this to me."
[A corner of the barrier has opened.]
Kabuto Yakushi emerged.
["who is he?"]
"Yakushi Kabuto said in a deep voice."
Black Zetsu thought about it and decided there was nothing to hide.
"First, go to another barrier to resurrect his brother."
"I'll come over after I've finished here."
"He is...Indra."
"The son of the Sage of Six Paths."
