Deep within a dark, hidden underground cave in the Land of Grass.
The moment Zetsu saw the newspaper, he hurried back from outside.
There was no other reason. The news in the paper was simply too shocking!
Unlike everyone else, Zetsu's focus was not on the Raikage.
What did he care whether Raikage Ay was dead or alive? He did not care in the slightest. All he cared about was the tailed beast!
Where exactly had the Two-Tails gone?
Was it dead?
Or had it...
He had to find out immediately, right now!
Otherwise, if all nine tailed beasts could not be gathered, would not the Eye of the Moon Plan die before it even began?
However,
before that, he needed to determine whether Uchiha Obito had anything to do with this!
If he did, that would be for the best. Even if Obito had acted behind his back, it could be forgiven.
If he did not, then things would be troublesome!
Entering the cave,
he found that in the dimly lit space, only a small screen cast any light, illuminating a round little face.
Uchiha Obito was sprawled amid a pile of manga, cola bottles, and chip bags, his hands nimbly working the buttons of a handheld console as he occasionally made fighting-game sound effects. "Hadouken!"
"K.O.!"
As soon as the battle-ending sound rang out,
he casually grabbed the large bottle of cola beside him, tipped back his head, and gulped down a huge mouthful!
Watching that practiced routine, a movement that seemed to have been repeated thousands of times, Zetsu fell completely silent.
Confirmed. It was not him.
Compared with that impostor, the genuine Uchiha Obito never even left the cave. All he did was play games, read manga, and drink cola.
Fuck!
This was the world-destroying partner
