The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 813 Further Discussion

Beneath the Death Forest.

After nightfall, many of the White Zetsu who had been gathering intelligence during the day returned to Black Zetsu's side.

The compiled information, however, gave Black Zetsu a major headache.

The good news is that Hinata Hyuga and Hanabi are both in the Forest of Death.

With his abilities, capturing those two people would be a piece of cake.

The bad news is, even if he's caught, he can't get out.

Because Konoha's defenses are very strong, not to mention the numerous barriers surrounding the Forest of Death.

There is also a large amount of surveillance in the Death Forest.

If it weren't for White Zetsu's ability to transform, he would have had a hard time even obtaining intelligence.

Although he now possesses the Mangekyou Sharingan and is equipped with several bloodline limits and the Demon Sparrow.

But they were no match for Minato Namikaze, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

As soon as Minato receives the message, he can immediately fly back with Thunder God Technique and slap him twice.

With the addition of several Mangekyou Sharingan eyes from the Uchiha clan, Black Zetsu had no chance of escape.

At this moment, Black Zetsu missed Obito terribly.

[Should we wait until next time?]

Black Zetsu didn't dare to make a move because he only had one chance.

If Konoha protects the Hyuga clan next time, then the most crucial link in Black Zetsu's plan will be disconnected.

Fortunately, it was only the first day of the Chunin Exams, and Black Zetsu patiently waited.

……

A cemetery in the mountains.

A vortex appeared in mid-air, and Obito appeared there all by himself.

Black Zetsu has already left, so there's no one here anymore.

However, given Black Zetsu's usual practice, there will definitely still be White Zetsu here.

Obito stomped his foot on the ground, sending his chakra flying.

A moment later, a white Zetsu crawled out of the ground.

"Lord Black Zetsu has been looking for you for a long time. I will inform Lord Afei immediately."

This is a foolish White Zetsu without a self, devoid of emotions, only capable of carrying out Black Zetsu's missions.

Obito didn't say much to the White Zetsu, he just nodded. When it came to information, the talkative Tobi was more comprehensive.

After all, Afei will tell you everything you want to know and everything you don't want to know.

White Zetsu possesses the Mayfly Technique, making him incredibly fast, and Tobi was also nearby.

Not long after, Ah Fei emerged from the ground.

"Oh, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

"You have no idea, Black Zetsu was looking for you everywhere while you were gone."

"He's so dull all the time. It's no fun at all when you're not around."

Just as Obito had predicted, before he could even speak, Tobi started chattering away as soon as he saw him.

"What does Black Zetsu want with me?" Obito asked curiously, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Afei spread his hands: "They said they were going to Konoha to capture members of the Hyuga clan."

"Konoha is currently holding the Chunin Exams, and Black Zetsu is lying in ambush in the Forest of Death."

Obito was unaware of what was happening on the moon or the evolution of the Tenseigan.

He didn't know why Black Zetsu wanted to capture the Hyuga clan members.

However, Obito knew just how strong Konoha's defenses were now.

"Ah……"

Obito's face showed a mocking expression: "With Konoha's defenses, how can he capture anyone?"

Afei laughed and said, "Yes, Black Zetsu is really worried right now. I wonder what the situation is like."

"So, do you want to go help Black Zetsu?"

Obito hadn't expected that Black Zetsu would need his help right now: "Then I'll go take a look."

With that, Obito opened the Kamui dimension and disappeared from the scene.

"Sigh...!" Tobi watched Obito leave with some dissatisfaction.

But that's alright, at least Obito is a bit better than Black Zetsu.

White Zetsu also burrowed underground and used the Mayfly Technique to head towards Konoha.

……

Chiyo followed for a while and found that White Zetsu had been monitoring Hanabi and Hinata's movements, but had no intention of making a move.

After all, there are still too many surveillance methods in the Death Forest.

For such a long time, he had not seen any trace of Obito.

They had no choice but to wait patiently.

Even though it was already very late, Hinata did not return to the central tower to rest, but instead stopped to rest by the river not far from Hanabi and the others.

Judging from this, Hinata is probably planning to spend the night outside.

Hinata stayed outside and didn't go back, so Naruto naturally stayed by her side.

The two sat on a thick tree trunk, snuggling together and talking. The sweet and sour smell of their love could be smelled even by Qianyao, who was in the Boundless Realm.

Chiyo was somewhat speechless, but he still felt a great sense of accomplishment that he hadn't made Hinata suffer for so many years before she could be with Naruto.

At this moment, his expression changed; it turned out that there was new information from the barrier department.

He immediately shifted his focus to the clone in the barrier department.

Qianyao was in front of a screen that looked like a radar interface.

However, instead of red dots, something resembling water ripples appeared on it.

At this moment, Maitreya was on the array not far from him, holding a mudra in his hand, and a purple light was spreading from his body.

The spot where she stood had many winding, thin lines extending outwards, used as a long-range barrier to input energy.

Space-time technology is considered cutting-edge in the ninja world, making it very difficult to defend against.

But Maitreya's formation is like spreading a layer of fine sand over a large area.

Ripples that cause spatial fluctuations will become apparent.

If you move back and forth multiple times in a short period of time, the ripples will be more noticeable.

The water gate didn't fly towards the Forest of Death; the water ripples appearing on the screen now represent that.

Obito has arrived.

……

Beneath the Death Forest.

When Obito arrived, he did not know the exact location of Black Zetsu.

So he traversed the Divine Might Space several times, and then used the Mayfly Technique to sneak underground.

Black Zetsu and Obito stared at each other blankly after meeting.

Obito hadn't worn a mask for many years, and Black Zetsu saw Obito's dual Kamui at a glance.

"Did you kill him?" Although it was a question, Black Zetsu's tone was full of certainty.

Over the past five years, Obito has been training constantly in order to unlock both Kamui.

However, Obito's past self has always been denying himself, so he has been stuck at the three-tomoe level.

Obito's true purpose in attacking Konoha last time was to sever ties with the past and kill his former self.

Obito did not answer Black Zetsu, or rather, he knew clearly that his former self had shattered, but it wasn't truly gone.

"Where have you been lately?" After a long while, Black Zetsu asked when Obito didn't answer, his tone somewhat dissatisfied.

Obito scoffed, "Do I need to report to you where I go?"

Black Zetsu was rebuffed and somewhat dissatisfied, but he still needed Obito's power, so he suppressed his anger.

He softened his tone: "If we want to revive Madara Uchiha, we must capture Hinata Hyuga or Hanabi."

"Therefore, your abilities are needed."
