Chapter 493 Black Zetsu's Pledge of Allegiance: Killing Sasuke
"You bastard? Are you human or a monster??"
Looking at the white Zetsu clone, whose entire body was deathly pale and whose chest and back were covered with root-like tentacles, Obito feigned shock and astonishment.
Is this the White Zetsu that Minato and the others were talking about? But what about Black Zetsu? Why is this different from what we expected?
Damn it, why did they arrive so quickly? He has absolutely no interest in doing any missions right now...
"Hehe, who I am is not important. You can call me White Zetsu or whatever monster you want, it doesn't matter." White Zetsu's clone grinned, shrugged mysteriously, "What's important is that your existence has now lost its meaning."
"My existence has lost its meaning?" Upon hearing this, Obito trembled, his eyes filled with a blank yet sorrowful and painful smile.
Yes! He doesn't even know what the meaning of his existence is anymore.
What a joke about ambushing Black Zetsu? Compared to the pain of losing Lin, that's nothing.
"So, are you mocking me?" Obito snorted coldly, his Mangekyou Sharingan spinning rapidly as he stared at White Zetsu, poised to strike.
"Wait, Obito." Seeing that things might go wrong, White Zetsu hurriedly interrupted, "Perhaps we can cooperate. I have a way to make you deny this world and regain your own Nohara Rin?"
"Create a world of Nohara Rin that belongs only to you! And you can obtain even more, including the forbidden techniques of the Uchiha clan, the secrets of the Sharingan, and much more valuable information!!"
Instantly, Obito's eyes widened in a trance at the allure of the White Zetsu, "You're not lying to me? Tell me, what do I have to do?"
Sure enough, he couldn't resist the temptation!
Seeing this, Bai Jue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed. Then, his gaze slowly darkened with amusement. "For tomorrow's Uchiha base cleanup mission, I will lure Uchiha Sasuke there. Kill him, and my main body will tell you what to do next."
"With your spatial eye technique, you can definitely kill someone with a single blow if you strike unexpectedly."
"Kill Sasuke! Wait..." Obito's expression changed drastically as he was about to ask more questions when he saw that White Zetsu had already disappeared into the floor.
"Weren't you being suppressed and bullied by the Fugaku father and son? You have to give something in return for something you want to gain. Consider this your pledge of loyalty!"
The White Zetsu's last voice echoed through the empty main hall of the shrine before vanishing completely.
[I never expected that I would have to kill Sasuke first. This is troublesome!] Obito's eyes flickered, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. This unexpected situation was somewhat beyond their expectations.
I thought Black Zetsu would show up directly, but things turned out like this!
As for creating a world where only Rin exists? Hah, he knows about the Eye of the Moon Project now. Is it really as Ishikawa said, deceiving himself to satisfy his own desires?
My heart is already riddled with holes, how can I mend it with illusions!
As Obito grieved, a fist-sized slug suddenly emerged from his ninja tool pouch and vanished into white smoke with a bang...
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.
"You want me to authorize the surveillance of Obito? What? Is there a problem with him, Jiraiya-sensei?" Upon hearing Jiraiya's purpose, the Fourth Hokage frowned immediately.
Obito is currently at the key to uncovering Black Zetsu, so how can we let Jiraiya get involved and affect the plan?
"That brat has a huge secret on him, possibly terrifying information that could affect the future of the ninja world. Minato, I have to do this for Konoha." Jiraiya pleaded solemnly. He wouldn't have come to Minato for authorization if Obito's identity hadn't been so special and he didn't want to cause any misunderstandings.
"Is that so?" A glint flashed in the Fourth Generation's eyes, and he remained noncommittal, instantly realizing that the teacher might have discovered something during their interactions over the past two days.
However, he cannot reveal the truth yet, to avoid any unexpected complications!
That being the case...
"Jiraiya-sensei, I'll leave this matter to Kakashi. He's more suitable to monitor Obito than you are. Also, I have another matter to ask of you, Jiraiya-sensei."
"What is it?" Jiraiya was taken aback. Now that Minato had taken control of Konoha, what important matter could he possibly need his help with?
Just as he was about to refuse, a glint flashed in the Fourth Hokage's eyes, and he uttered a startling statement, "The Rinnegan. According to reliable intelligence, a ninja with the Rinnegan has appeared in Amegakure. Jiraiya-sensei, you should know what this intelligence means..."
[Rinnegan - Nagato!] Jiraiya's body trembled as if struck by lightning, instantly recalling the war orphan he had once taken in and taught ninjutsu to, the child of destiny.
"Understood, I'll go to Amegakure to see what's going on! Minato." Taking a deep breath, Jiraiya immediately changed his mind and nodded in understanding.
While Obito's side is equally important, Nagato's side should not be underestimated either.
This was the first time he had heard rumors about the three of them since their farewell.
"I hope you can change Nagato, otherwise he will become Konoha's new enemy." Watching Jiraiya leave, the Fourth Hokage looked out the window and murmured to himself, lost in thought.
According to Ishikawa and Sasuke's intelligence, Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, will inevitably attract Black Zetsu's attention, or even be maliciously manipulated. In this situation, once they defeat Black Zetsu, Nagato will be the final destabilizing factor.
Rather than passively taking a beating, it's better to take the initiative and try to change Nagato while also alerting the enemy.
Use Jiraiya's influence to make Black Zetsu feel urgent and uneasy, so that he will quickly appear to find Obito.
“Eternal Sister, that guy has made a move…” Just as the Fourth Generation was pondering, a flash of dark light appeared before his eyes and Ishikawa and Rin instantly appeared.
"They've taken action? So fast!!" The Fourth Hokage frowned and exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that Black Zetsu would be able to act so quickly after only a few days.
He even planned to send Jiraiya to Amegakure to alert the enemy, but it seems that was a pointless endeavor!
However, this is also good, because while Jiraiya was going to find Nagato, they were also simultaneously dealing with the hidden threat of Black Zetsu.
"Yes, although the White Zetsu clones tried to use the sealing barrier of the Naka Shrine to deceive everyone, they never expected that Obito was our spy."
"Minato-sensei, according to the information from the slug clone I left on Obito, it's confirmed they'll meet tomorrow, but they've got their eyes on Sasuke..."
Ishikawa and Rin spoke in succession, causing the Fourth Hokage to frown and look astonished.
"Targeting Sasuke? What are they planning to do?"
"What are you doing? The cunning Black Zetsu has given us a difficult problem. He'll only show himself if Obito kills Sasuke." Ishikawa explained with a smirk, causing the Fourth Hokage's expression to change drastically.
As expected, things didn't go according to plan, and now they're in trouble...
"Hehe, leave this to me. Please take my sister to inform the Fifth Master that the operation is about to begin." Ishikawa smiled calmly at the Fourth Master, looking completely confident of victory.
Because of teaching the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Fifth Hokage Kakashi has been practicing the technique and studying the theory at the Fourth Hokage's house for the past two days.
"Okay, I believe you." He nodded solemnly to Ishikawa, and the fourth generation of golden light flashed as he returned home in an instant.
"Ishikawa, what should we do now?" Nohara Rin asked as soon as the Fourth Generation left.
Black Zetsu only appeared after seeing Obito kill Sasuke; this couldn't be achieved through a simple deception.
If the ambush plan fails and is discovered by the enemy, it will all be in vain...
Seeing Rin's worry, a resolute glint flashed in Ishikawa's eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. "Of course, we'll do as he wishes and kill Sasuke!!"
