"---!!!?"
"What? Las Noches...?"
Hearing Obito's words, Black Zetsu was momentarily stunned.
This name,
He had naturally heard of it.
Back then, in Kikyo Castle in the Land of Fire,
That white-bladed Kitsune Ogre from Las Noches, after easily defeating the Fourth Raikage, left with a large number of Sharingan, tearing through space.
It was truly famous for a time.
But later,
For some unknown reason,
Over two years, news about them became less and less.
It seemed like they were slacking off...
So much so,
That Black Zetsu had almost forgotten that such a force still existed in the Shinobi World.
"Why suddenly investigate them?"
Black Zetsu uttered a puzzled voice.
And at this moment,
Obito's expression remained unchanged, his gaze flickering slightly, still indifferent:
"Recently,"
"Strange 'Taijutsu Secret Scrolls' have started appearing in various places across the Shinobi World."
"It is said that those who successfully train them achieve an unprecedented level of power enhancement, far surpassing various other Taijutsu in the Shinobi World."
"And I, by a fortunate coincidence, also obtained one."
"It's this."
As he spoke,
Obito suddenly took out a light gray scroll from behind.
On it,
Was carved the shape of a crescent moon.
And below the crescent moon,
Was a sword.
The moment he saw this strange scroll, Black Zetsu was stunned.
He completely didn't understand why this guy Obito suddenly changed the subject.
He was clearly asking about Las Noches,
And this guy,
Started talking about scrolls...
However,
Just as he was wondering,
Obito completely ignored his expression, but calmly unrolled the scroll, and then said indifferently:
"Originally, I didn't pay much attention to this scroll."
"After all, Taijutsu is not my specialty."
"But..."
"Until I saw clearly the curse mark pattern engraved on it."
As he spoke,
Obito suddenly turned the unrolled scroll over and showed it to Zetsu.
"?"
Seeing this, Zetsu naturally looked surprised.
Huh?
Could there be something strange about it...
Thinking this,
He moved his gaze upwards.
However, after a moment, he immediately noticed,
At the bottom right corner of the scroll, there was actually... a strange white pattern drawn, shaped like an evil ogre!
And more crucially, behind the pattern, two words were written --
Las Noches.
"...?!"
Zetsu was momentarily stunned.
He only then suddenly understood the meaning of Obito talking about the scroll,
He never imagined,
They could actually be connected like this...?
And at this moment,
Obito's gaze flickered, and he explained in a self-absorbed, deep tone:
"If the two words 'Las Noches' could be achieved through forgery."
"Then,"
"That symbol of the evil ogre is absolutely impossible."
"Because,"
"The first time I fought the Kitsune Ogre,"
"I noticed that the pure white sword in his hand had exactly this kind of evil ogre-like pattern carved on the tsuba."
"This point is fundamentally impossible to fake."
Having said this, Obito's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice:
"That is to say,"
"That once famous Las Noches..."
"Has reappeared."
"?!"
At this point,
Zetsu's heart suddenly shook violently!
He only then began to completely understand Obito's meaning...
So that's it...
And at this moment,
Obito slowly put away the scroll in his hand while saying indifferently:
"Back then,"
"The reason I chose to investigate Las Noches,"
"Was simply because I was afraid they would interfere with our Eye of the Moon Plan, interfere with our Tailed Beast Collection."
"But now,"
"Since I've already been expelled from Akatsuki,"
"It is necessary... to slightly change the previous battle plan..."
Having said this,
Obito's eyes narrowed slightly, his pupils revealing a ruthless glint.
Even his whole body began to emit a dangerous aura.
As if he were about to turn dark.
"?!!"
Seeing this,
Zetsu's heart chilled, and he spoke in a low voice:
"What do you want to do... Obito?"
Upon hearing this,
Obito's gaze looked over, and he said in a deep voice:
"I want to..."
"Find a way to locate Las Noches,"
"And find a way to ally with them... to fight against the Akatsuki!"
"Thus defeating that golden-eyed Kyo, and... seizing back Nagato's Rinnegan!!!"
"? ! ! ! ! !"
Obito's words were vehement and full of resolve, as if spoken through gritted teeth!
His gaze was sinister, as if leaving no retreat!
However,
After hearing this,
Zetsu across from him was instantly scared stiff!
If not for his special body,
At this moment,
He would have long been covered in cold sweat.
Is this guy crazy?!!
This guy actually wants to ally with the mysterious Las Noches to in turn fight against Kyo and Akatsuki!???
This is simply a damn genius...!!
Black Zetsu was completely frozen.
As an ultimate traitor, he had never thought of such a damn brilliant idea.
Unexpectedly,
Obito, just after being kicked out of Akatsuki,
Had thought of such a way out, truly impressive...
The Kitsune Ogre of Las Noches,
His strength was universally acknowledged to be superb.
If they could really find a way to use him to fight against the Akatsuki and Kyo, it would be simply perfect!!
Thinking this,
Black Zetsu immediately let out a deep, hoarse, strange laugh.
"Hehehe..."
"Truly worthy of you, Obito!"
"This plan is indeed good. Leave it to you, then..."
"On my side,"
"I will also continue to be responsible for monitoring Akatsuki and Orochimaru."
"Keep in touch."
"Farewell." As he spoke,
Black Zetsu's body began to completely sink into the ground.
And in his heart,
Regarding the plan to save his mother, he began to reignite a glimmer of hope...
It had to be said,
This time, Obito's thinking was truly on another level.
While trying to retrieve the scroll sealing Madara, also trying to find a new organization to fight against Akatsuki...
It was indeed the most perfect plan at the moment.
Black Zetsu left with peace of mind.
And at this moment,
Back in the original place,
Obito still had a dark expression.
In his heart, he naturally was contemplating this new plan of his.
Since previously,
No matter what, he couldn't find the mysterious Las Noches,
It seemed this time,
He would have to start thinking in reverse...
He couldn't actively look for them.
But rather...
Try to 'lure' them out!
Thinking this,
A gradually complete plan began to emerge in Obito's mind.
…
And at this moment,
Meanwhile, on the other side.
The Land of Rain,
In Amegakure.
Heavy rain began to fall from the sky.
Instantly plunging Amegakure back into a gloomy atmosphere.
Throughout the village,
The air was so stuffy it felt like one couldn't breathe.
Due to Kyo's action of reporting Obito, Akatsuki's Tailed Beast Capture Plan was directly interrupted.
The meeting also completely broke up at that time.
Now,
Not only Orochimaru, but all Akatsuki's members were staying in Amegakure, waiting for further instructions.
Kyo was the same.
At this moment,
He was sitting in his room,
Leisurely,
Reading an unknown novel.
Regarding the mission to report Obito's true identity to the organization, it could now naturally be considered complete.
But the system's reward had yet to be distributed.
However, Kyo wasn't worried; what was meant to come would come sooner or later.
And just then,
In Kyo's perception, an aura began to approach rapidly.
He slightly raised an eyebrow and looked out the window.
Then,
At the window,
Countless white pieces of paper flew in, finally condensing into human form.
It was Konan.
The moment she appeared,
She slightly lowered her eyes, her expression complicated, as if laden with worries.
However,
Before she could even speak,
Kyo immediately slightly curled his lips, put down the book in his hand, and chuckled lightly:
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Konan.
