Black Zetsu said with a strange expression. That's right.
The man before him wearing the white mask,
Was none other than... Uchiha Obito!
However at this moment,
He had already shed his original black robe from Akatsuki and changed into a set of white kimono haori.
Even,
His signature orange spiral single-eyed mask from before,
At this moment, was directly replaced with a white mask patterned like a fierce wolf.
At first glance,
Even if Nagato and the others came, they probably simply wouldn't recognize him as the former "Uchiha Madara"...
If it weren't for Black Zetsu relying on his judgment of this familiar aura,
He wouldn't have recognized him so quickly.
For this very reason,
He felt surprised.
Obito, who had maintained that image for over ten years, suddenly changing his image was just too strange...
Although he had worn a tiger-stripe mask before, his clothes at least hadn't changed much.
But now, it was completely a makeover and starting life anew.
And all of this,
Was because he wanted to lure out "Las Noches"?
Black Zetsu was puzzled in his heart.
And at this moment,
On the throne across from him, White Mask Obito looked over.
Then,
A deep laugh suddenly came from his throat, saying:
"Hehe..."
"That's right, this... is the only way to lure out the real Las Noches."
As he spoke,
Obito stood up and explained with a deep laugh:
"Time has long proven,"
"Trying to find Las Noches in the Shinobi World through normal methods is completely impossible."
"Otherwise,"
"Why, after seven or eight years have passed, has no one been able to find any clues?"
"It could even be said,"
"Now, almost the entire Shinobi World has been searched thoroughly."
"And no one can find the so-called Las Noches treasure, or the Sharingan taken away by that Kitsune Ogre."
"Therefore,"
"This time, I chose to go the opposite way."
As he spoke,
Obito raised one hand, placed it on his white mask, grinned, and said confidently:
"By spreading false intelligence throughout the Shinobi World,"
"I announced to all the bounty hunters still seeking information on Las Noches... that Las Noches had appeared in the desert of the Land of Wind."
"Then, I came here and disguised myself as a member of Las Noches."
"This way, as time passes,"
"This intelligence will inevitably spread wider and wider, and finally... reach the ears of the real Las Noches's members!"
"Then,"
"I only need to wait here,"
"Quietly await their arrival, isn't that right...?"
White Mask Obito chuckled softly, speaking unhurriedly.
His tone revealed a strong confidence in this plan, and a kind of pleasure like succeeding in a sneaky move.
And at this moment,
After listening to his long explanation,
Black Zetsu finally suddenly understood and couldn't help but feel stirred inside.
High!
Truly high...!
Unexpectedly,
This Obito, with his level two wisdom, could actually think of such an ingenious plan...
This way,
Finding that mysterious Las Noches would seem much easier...
Just as he was thinking,
Obito suddenly thought of something else and said indifferently:
"By the way, Zetsu."
"How are things on Akatsuki's side?"
"Is that guy Nagato still carrying out the Tailed Beast Capture Plan?"
That's right.
Hearing this, Black Zetsu immediately snapped back to reality, then, in a hoarse voice, honestly replied:
"Yeah, the Tailed Beast Capture Plan officially started the day before yesterday."
"Kyo, Itachi, and the others have now all left Amegakure to carry out their respective Jinchuriki capture missions."
"Now in Amegakure, besides Orochimaru, who was left there, only Nagato and Konan remain."
Having said this, Black Zetsu paused slightly, then suddenly asked temptingly:
"..."
"Obito, should we make a move?"
"Take advantage of the gap when Kyo is not in Amegakure to sneak attack Nagato and take back the Rinnegan..."
"Or, take back the scroll sealing Uchiha Madara from Orochimaru?"
Black Zetsu proposed in a low voice.
As the number one filial son of the Shinobi World, he was naturally always more concerned about these two.
After all, saving his mother required powerful strength as support.
And currently, in Black Zetsu's mind, only the complete Uchiha Madara after fusing with the Rinnegan was the most reliable...
So,
He naturally wanted to get these two first.
However,
Hearing this at this moment,
White Mask Obito immediately showed an expression like looking at an idiot, then snorted lightly and said indifferently:
"Hmph."
"The timing isn't right, forget it."
"Have you forgotten that guy Kyo also masters a strange kind of Space-Time Ninjutsu?"
"No matter where he is,"
"If he wants to return to Amegakure, it would probably just be an instant."
"What if, when we attack Nagato, he uses his ring to notify Kyo, and Kyo rushes over."
"Do you think..."
"With just the two of us, we are enough to simultaneously deal with Nagato's Rinnegan and Kyo's True Eye of the King?"
Obito's gaze was sharp, speaking mercilessly.
And hearing this,
Black Zetsu was momentarily stunned.
Th-this is indeed true...
He almost forgot Kyo also has Space-Time Ninjutsu...
Black Zetsu suddenly recalled.
Back then,
When recruiting Deidara in the Land of Earth,
Kyo used a strange cloth-like Space-Time Ninjutsu to instantly return to Amegakure...
It could be seen,
His Space-Time Ninjutsu was perhaps similar to Konoha's Flying Thunder God Technique.
As long as he had the strength,
Going anywhere seemed to just take a minute.
If at that time, Nagato really joined forces with Kyo to fight,
Even if he had the life-prolonging divine skill, Mayfly Technique, and Obito had the life-prolonging divine skill, Kamui, they might not necessarily gain any advantage...
This point was indeed very troublesome.
And at this moment,
Obito continued:
"Zetsu, listen to me. Forget about Nagato's Rinnegan for now."
"Find an opportunity to get that sealed Edo Tensei Uchiha Madara scroll from Orochimaru's hands first."
"With his power,"
"Only then can we reliably defeat Kyo."
"....."
Black Zetsu had no choice but to nod helplessly.
There was no helping it.
He had to admit,
It was still necessary for that Madara to personally act in order to have a fighting chance against that strange Kyo...
And at this moment, Obito turned back again and said indifferently:
"You go back and continue monitoring Akatsuki."
"Remember to report to me anytime if there are any special situations."
"And Orochimaru,"
"Once he leaves Amegakure, tell me immediately."
"Then we'll immediately go seize the scroll."
"That guy Orochimaru,"
"Although he is treacherous, he doesn't have a way to contact Kyo at any time like Pain does."
"Our chances of winning against him are still very reliable."
Obito analyzed indifferently.
Somehow,
Today,
He suddenly felt his mind was exceptionally clear.
He could analyze any situation very thoroughly.
And on this side, Black Zetsu,
Also had the same thought.
This Obito,
After being kicked out of Akatsuki,
His IQ seemed to have increased...
A moment later,
Obito sent Zetsu away.
He himself stayed in this building, waiting for the arrival of the real Las Noches's members.
And he also believed,
As long as he was patient, someone would inevitably come,
Even,
It might even be that white-bladed Kitsune Ogre from back then...
In the darkness,
Obito's Sharingan flickered with a faint red light.
He grinned and muttered to himself with a deep laugh:
"Ah..."
"This time, it's my turn to use your power,"
"...Kitsune Ogre."
