Obito was very satisfied with Ōnoki's dumbfounded expression.
The self-satisfied Obito didn't notice that Black Zetsu, who was standing behind him, had his head bowed even lower.
When Mu and Ōnoki went to find Senju Hashirama, they were blocked by Madara. With just one move, Mu and Ōnoki were sent back where they came from like stray dogs.
Mu and Ōnoki wouldn't publicize such an inglorious event, and Madara wouldn't think it was a big deal to bully children, so he naturally wouldn't tell Obito.
Only Black Zetsu, who had been watching Indra's reincarnation for a long time, knew a thing or two. At this moment, Black Zetsu was thinking about how to escape.
Ōnoki, however, felt mocked. He had just been lectured by Yuuki yesterday. Remembering his past experiences, how could Ōnoki believe that Obito was Madara!
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World!"
Two guys who appeared out of nowhere possessed extraordinary stealth and intelligence-gathering abilities.
After a slight pause, Ōnoki decisively chose to act.
No one likes people who know too much!
The Dust Release, emitting a faint glow, formed a giant cube in front of Ōnoki.
Ōnoki's control was exquisite, only encompassing Obito and Black Zetsu, without touching the ground in the slightest.
When the light dissipated, the scene inside made Ōnoki's heart skip a beat.
How is this possible!!!
That was the Ninja World's only Kekkei Tōta.
The two figures still stood in place, seemingly unharmed to the naked eye!
However, there was still a difference: Zetsu's original Akatsuki Organization uniform had disappeared, leaving him completely bare.
As for Obito, his clothes hadn't changed at all, as if the Dust Release just now was fake.
Ōnoki's face darkened. If Dust Release had no effect, then he could only feign compliance with the other party.
Judging from the two's states, Ōnoki rapidly increased their danger level, with Zetsu being even more dangerous!
Ōnoki guessed that Zetsu had directly withstood the Dust Release, and the guy who claimed to be Madara, combined with his entrance method, might be related to space-time Ninjutsu.
The facts were not far from Ōnoki's guess.
Zetsu, who wanted to escape, faced the already charged and pre-cast Dust Release, and ultimately failed to dodge in time.
White Zetsu was directly decomposed into particles, while the remaining puddle-like Black Zetsu truly withstood the Dust Release.
Before the light completely faded, he quickly merged with a newly emerged White Zetsu, restoring his form.
Obito had nothing to say; it was Kamui's intangibility.
"Ōnoki, there's no need for these pointless tests anymore. We are here to seek cooperation!"
As luck would have it, seeing the shock in Ōnoki's eyes, Obito, thinking he had intimidated the other party, immediately spoke.
This was Obito's usual tactic. Knowing that he lacked Madara's profound and ocean-like aura, he often hid in the Kamui Dimension, only showing a phantom, completely devoid of any presence.
Then, through intangibility, he would stand still against others' attacks, showcasing his power and mystery.
Afterward, while the other party was shocked, he would propose cooperation, a method that always worked.
The success after his last interaction with Ay made Obito deeply confident in his methods.
Black Zetsu, standing behind Obito, now really wanted to cover his face and disappear into the ground.
If it weren't for Obito's interference, Black Zetsu was confident he could help Obito fool Ōnoki, at least for a while.
Now, Obito, who had lost all his coolness and mysteriousness, was completely oblivious and continued to try and fool him.
Whatever, Black Zetsu completely gave up.
Meanwhile, Ōnoki, facing the two, remained expressionless, but his mind was racing.
His gaze was fixed on Obito, but the corner of his eye subtly lingered on Zetsu.
Ōnoki also realized that the relationship between the two was not as it appeared on the surface. Compared to Obito, who could be seen through at a glance, Zetsu remained full of mysteries.
The idea of getting information from Zetsu fell through. Zetsu, who didn't speak a single truth even in front of his companion, wouldn't be believed by Ōnoki even if he did speak truthfully.
He could only try to get some information indirectly from this guy who called himself Madara.
Ōnoki didn't believe Obito's claim of being Uchiha Madara from the start, and by now, he completely disbelieved it.
Ōnoki's thoughts became clearer and clearer. His eyes widened, and his mouth slightly opened.
"You... are you really... Uchiha... Madara? This is impossible, you're clearly dead!"
After being shocked for a while, Ōnoki belatedly shifted the topic back to the initial situation.
This was both to extract information and a test to confirm whether his guess was true.
Black Zetsu knew he couldn't hide anymore. He raised his head from behind Obito and looked at Ōnoki, giving him a look that said 'that's enough.'
Obito, as always, did not disappoint, and said with a feigned sigh in his voice:
"Although I faked my death and escaped from the battle with Hashirama, I was also severely injured. The current me has no power; I am just an empty shell."
This was the explanation Black Zetsu had guided Obito to come up with when facing questioning.
But what made Black Zetsu want to cover his face was, 'Don't you look at the situation? Don't you look at the problem? Not to mention your answer is completely irrelevant.'
'Why do you take Ōnoki's dull, fake reaction seriously?'
And Ōnoki, after the test, completely confirmed one thing.
This guy who called himself Uchiha Madara was an idiot!
