Upon hearing this, Tiandao's expression grew even colder, his face revealing neither joy nor anger. He pondered for a long time before finally shaking his head and saying in a emotionless voice, "There's no need! We still bear an important mission on our shoulders."
The resolute words sounded especially clear amidst the sound of rain.
After saying this, Tiandao said no more, turned around and walked back to the inner room of the tower.
Xiao Nan stood there, staring blankly at his departing figure.
After a moment, she lowered her eyes helplessly and looked again at the village outline that was faintly visible in the rain.
The cold raindrops hit her shoulders, making her feel a chill.
After a long while, Xiao Nan sighed softly, and that sigh quickly dissipated into the rain on the empty balcony.
……
Meanwhile, in a dark, underground cave within the Land of Earth.
Water droplets seeped from the slippery rock walls, and a rustling sound suddenly came from deep within the cave—
"Whoosh..." A spiral-shaped white head emerged from the ground!
Immediately afterwards, a strange white humanoid creature emerged from the soil.
The moment it peeked out, before the White Zetsu even had a chance to stretch its limbs, a figure slid out of the shadows like a ghost.
"Where have you been?! Why didn't you obey orders?!" Black Zetsu's sinister voice suddenly rang out, full of displeasure.
The white Zetsu with the swirling face paused for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively: "Hey, pitcher plant, why are you so nervous!"
He chuckled nonchalantly, "I was just bored and went out for some fresh air! There's no mission right now, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
His tone was nonchalant, as if he didn't take Black Zetsu's questioning to heart at all.
"Hmph!" Hei Jue's face darkened, and he gave a cold snort.
"Come with me right now," he said impatiently. "Obito's been looking for you for days!"
Recently, Black Zetsu has been questioned by Obito several times because of this matter, and he was almost driven crazy by that kid. "I've been so annoyed by him these past few days!"
Black Zetsu cursed inwardly, "What the hell is wrong with Obito?"
"Obito is looking for me?" White Zetsu was taken aback upon hearing this, tilting his large head as he asked, "What for?"
Black Zetsu didn't bother to explain: "You'll find out when you get there!"
After speaking, Black Zetsu suddenly pulled and dragged the vortex White Zetsu deeper into the cave.
"Hey, hey, be gentle, be gentle—" White Zetsu staggered as he was dragged away, still complaining, "Seriously, why are you being so rough!"
Despite his complaints, he knew that Black Zetsu was in a hurry, so he had no choice but to obediently follow along.
Before long, the two arrived one after the other in a spacious underground hall inside the cave.
Obito had been waiting for a long time. When he saw that Black Zetsu had finally brought someone over, he couldn't help but raise his eyes coldly, his Sharingan eyes turning blood red.
White Zetsu met Obito's chilling gaze, and a strange chill ran down his spine. He instinctively shrank back, stammering, "Uh... Obito?"
He waved awkwardly, "Hey, long time no see!"
Black Zetsu then released his grip and stood aside. Before he could speak, Obito coldly uttered, "Finally found you!"
Black Zetsu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this: Obito's tone was a bit off.
He caught a glimpse of a cold glint in Obito's eye out of the corner of his eye. Before he could think about it, Obito suddenly moved like a ghost and teleported in front of White Zetsu!
"you--"
Obito's right hand suddenly pressed down on his forehead!
"call out!"
With a strange sound of space distorting, White Zetsu vanished from his spot in an instant!
Black Zetsu's vision vanished, leaving only ripples of air vibration.
He was taken aback: "Obito! What are you doing!"
Black Zetsu didn't react for a moment and cried out in surprise.
She got rid of him the moment they met?!
Black Zetsu's heart skipped a beat, a sense of unease rising within him: he had originally thought that Obito had a mission to deliver to White Zetsu, after all, this special White Zetsu was not unintelligent and was also very capable.
But who would have thought that Obito would capture the person the moment they met?!
“Heh,” Obito sneered, glancing sideways at Black Zetsu, “Why do I need to explain to you what I do?”
His voice was cold and devoid of emotion.
Interrogating someone in front of Black Zetsu?
He's not that stupid.
Black Zetsu wanted to ask more, but the next second, a vortex-like distortion suddenly appeared out of thin air where Obito had just been standing!
The air rippled like water.
Obito's figure also vanished into thin air.
In the gloomy and dark cave, suddenly only Black Jue remained.
He stood there, stunned, his expression shifting between light and dark, his unease growing stronger: White Zetsu knew quite a few secrets.
Although Black Zetsu had confidence in the loyalty of White Zetsu, Obito's strange behavior still made him very uneasy.
Black Zetsu had a strong premonition—
The plan seems to be spiraling out of his control...
……
Meanwhile, within the mysterious Divine Might Space.
In the dark and distorted alternate dimension, fragments of a giant rectangular stone pillar floated, suspended in various places as if weightless.
Obito's figure appeared silently in the space.
"Hehe, long time no see, Obito!" White Zetsu Uzumaki still tried to act nonchalant, feigning surprise as he said, "You dragged me here as soon as we met, did you miss me?"
He spoke in a nonchalant tone, attempting to defuse the current crisis with jokes.
However, Obito simply couldn't be bothered to pay attention to his witty remarks.
“Ah Fei,” he said coldly, cutting straight to the point, “when and where did we first meet?”
White Zetsu was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze.
But then he nonchalantly spread his hands: "Obito, what are you talking about! Our first meeting was, of course, in Kannabi—"
Before the words were even finished, bang!
A muffled sound echoed.
Obito kicked out suddenly, hitting White Zetsu in the chest and knocking him to the ground!
"Shut up!"
Obito roared, his voice revealing suppressed anger.
He strode forward, stepped on the chest of the White Zetsu, leaned forward, and stared intently at the unique White Zetsu beneath him with his single eye exposed outside the mask.
"You'd better tell me the truth, Ah Fei."
Obito's tone suddenly turned dangerous, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, making it hard to breathe.
Trapped by the force of an iron hoof, a harsh, cracking sound, like wood breaking, emanated from the chest of the Uzumaki White Zetsu.
Obito's kick was merciless, almost stomping his upper body into the ground.
White Zetsu simply shrugged, still looking completely unconcerned: "I'm just telling the truth, Obito!"
Upon hearing this, Obito's eyes grew even colder. He withdrew his leg from the other's, slowly straightened up, and looked down at the White Zetsu on the ground, his tone icy: "You're not telling the truth, are you?"
White Zetsu still grinned cheekily, "Hey, I didn't lie—"
Obito sneered, too lazy to listen to his sophistry.
He pointed to a massive, floating stone pillar in the distance, his voice low and chilling: "You know this place, right? It's completely disconnected from the ninja world. Only my eye techniques can allow entry and exit. As long as I don't let you out, you'll never leave, forever alone here!"
Obito stared directly at White Zetsu.
"And I remember, what you feared most was... boredom, right?"
The last few words were like a haunting melody, and White Zetsu's entire body suddenly stiffened!
The surroundings were completely silent; the only sound was the laughter he had been making while speaking, which had now completely disappeared.
His exaggeratedly white face betrayed no obvious expression, but his voice finally betrayed fear: "Obito! You... what do you want to do?!"
"You can't do this to me! I was the one who helped you break through the stone wall to save people back then! Have you forgotten all that?"
His voice suddenly rose, his speech became rapid, and he was truly panicked, "No matter what, you can't do this to me—!"
"Hmph." Obito coldly snorted, interrupting his wailing.
"You'd better think this through carefully." He withdrew his foot from Bai Jue's body, took a half step back, and looked down at him one last time with icy eyes. "I'll come back for you!"
The familiar vortex-like distortion reappeared, and Obito's figure vanished instantly, leaving only White Zetsu slumped in the cold Kamui space, screaming in despair.
……
The next few days were uneventful, and nothing earth-shattering happened.
Nagato entered that strange dream world several more times.
Yahiko has already started learning swordsmanship from Hatake Sakumo!
Every night, Sakumo Hatake would come to their hut to instruct the three children in swordsmanship and ninjutsu.
During the day, he rarely interferes with the daily lives of Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan.
They should simply continue to follow the schedule that Jiraiya originally set for them, without having to change their habits for his sake.
This surprised Nagato.
Sakumo Hatake's appearance disrupted their lives, but the legendary "White Fang of Konoha" did not forcefully intervene or interfere; instead, he maintained a gentle distance.
This gradually put Konan and Yahiko at ease, as they were still feeling a bit lost after seeing their teacher Jiraiya off.
