"Don't move, Obito!"
Zetsu shouted in panic: "Don't do anything foolish!"
But Uchiha Obito only smiled, continuing to act on his own, trying to gather Chakra.
Zetsu looked at this scene, an extremely complex feeling flowing through...
Has anyone ever fought so desperately for you?
Zetsu had experienced that; it worked tirelessly for Kaguya in the Ninja World for thousands of years...
But the only one who truly fought for it, was Uchiha Obito!
"Believe in Aomi!" Zetsu suddenly shouted: "Miracles will still happen!"
"Aomi had already prepared a full strategy during self-sealing, we must trust him!"
Uchiha Obito hesitantly shook his head: "Rin, even Aomi couldn't have foreseen such an enemy..."
Yet Zetsu seemed to have understood something, unusually resolute as it said: "No, believe in Aomi, Obito!"
In the blink of an eye.
Zetsu realized a problem...
Its failure today, Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama, and Uchiha Izuna's failures were because they didn't anticipate the existence of Isshiki, or didn't predict that Isshiki had a way to briefly restore his full power...
But what about Aomi?
Perhaps in a situation with no escape, perhaps pressure had Zetsu somewhat crumbling.
Yet Zetsu was absolutely certain at this moment that Aomi would definitely think more, think further, think clearer!
Aomi must have foreseen Isshiki's existence!
Even though Zetsu didn't know if Aomi could fight against Isshiki...
But this was its last chance! The final way for Obito to survive without blindly sacrificing because of it...
Compared to Isshiki, if Aomi could possess Kaguya, defeat Isshiki, and achieve ultimate victory.
Although Zetsu was unwilling to admit it, deep down it believed Aomi wouldn't kill Kaguya, wouldn't kill itself, wouldn't kill Obito...
Aomi, though obsessed with power to a terrifying degree, this brother has a humanity that the Otsutsuki Clan lacks...
The best example.
Is actually that Aomi has never killed it, instead letting it create chaos and turmoil, sometimes even making Zetsu feel Aomi is like a brother who enjoys teasing his sibling, though it always casts a deep shadow on it, yet never took heavy measures...
Most were just verbal strikes.
In this current situation...
Regarding the matter of saving Kaguya... although unwilling to admit it, deep down Zetsu has sincerely chosen to give up.
Zetsu even rooted for Aomi in its heart.
"Brother... please successfully seize Kaguya's power..."
A twisted thought flashed through Zetsu's mind, making it wish it could slap itself: "If it's Kaguya, given her combat skills, she absolutely can't defeat Isshiki!"
Though Zetsu isn't a fighter, it understands.
In the original timeline, Zetsu acted as Kaguya's crafty strategist, guiding Kaguya controlling her jutsu, suppressing Naruto and Sasuke who obtained the Power of the Six Paths of Yin and Yang.
Zetsu's fierce eyes saw clearly that Isshiki, who struggled and clawed in the Ninja World for thousands of years, isn't an enemy defeated without the Power of Ten Tails...
If after Isshiki's coffin is opened, Kaguya leads Aomi's body, everything truly would be over!
But if it were Aomi...
Then, the situation still has hope; the Ninja World still holds faint hope!
Unconsciously, Zetsu seems to have become a rebellious son...
And at that moment.
Isshiki slowly walked toward Aomi's coffin, only to see his hands together, freeing the reanimation body, the five shadows, briefly restored from Uchiha Madara's fall, their eyes turning cloudy again.
Madly releasing Ninjutsu, blocking Konoha's ninjas from rushing towards Isshiki!
Until then...
The ninjas discovered this shocking truth!
The so-called reanimation body, the so-called five shadows, initially thought summoned by Uchiha Madara's hypnosis, firmly controlled in Isshiki's hands.
Uchiha Madara lying on the ground, bloodshot eyes!
For the first time, he experienced the ultimate humiliation...
And in the Pure Land, Six Paths Sage, and Otsutsuki Hamura watching from the side, fell into confusion and terror.
Kaguya's kin… indeed hidden in the Ninja World!
And in the Otherworld, watching this scene from above, Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Kinshiki's faces turned grim.
"I told you… that man won't die so easily... But the things happening in this timeline seem vastly different from ours?"
Momoshiki stared at Isshiki in Wedge State Two, squinting his eyes: "Seems like… the Chakra we're supposed to divide might need to let go of another share..."
Urashiki turned to Momoshiki, spoke softly: "How about we?"
Urashiki made a throat-slashing gesture.
Momoshiki sneered: "Coming across dimensions from the Otherworld, bearing the sin of killing a clan member, if you're willing to shoulder that, I don't mind... Also, given your combat skills, want to fight Isshiki?"
"Fighting that guy, you won't fare any better than those mortals."
Momoshiki's words showed deep dread towards Isshiki and contempt for Urashiki.
And Urashiki could only smile awkwardly, a glimpse of craftiness in his eyes, thought silently: "Little Momoshiki, not quite an idiot…"
At this moment.
On this battlefield.
Konoha ninjas desperately rushed towards Isshiki, while Isshiki drew closer and closer to Aomi's coffin...
Until.
A man in green tights appeared, glittery and radiant blue steam emanating from him, standing before Aomi's coffin.
"Shisui, Hachida, use Dojutsu on me!"
Might Duy shouted loudly: "Konoha's Mad Duy will ignite his youth for Lord Aomi!"
"Eight Gates - Death Gate - Open!"
And with this shout, Senju Tobirama's mind seemed electrified, shouting at Uchiha Izuna: "Hey, idiot, stabilize that guy's space and buy Duy some time!"
"I'm already doing it, stop babbling!"
Uchiha Izuna furiously drove his ocular power, instantly freezing the space around Isshiki.
Earlier when Isshiki spoke with Uchiha Obito…
These two cunning fellows had already tried their best to extract the black rods but didn't strike.
But inside Aomi…
Kaguya saw the menacing Isshiki, nearly crying out: "Aomi, we can still run now! He's here for revenge, he's become stronger than before!"
"Given your talent, as long as you survive, you will certainly have a chance to avenge everyone!"
Aomi watched Might Duy, steam burning red on his body, shook his head: "Kaguya… just watch, mortals standing shoulder to shoulder with gods isn't something only I can achieve…"
"This man, I trust him."
