Black Zetsu: I'm Furious!

Uchiha Obito felt that if he entered deep into Konoha, then without using Kamui, he would not be able to get back out.

"And this thing can absorb Dōryoku, too."

Uchiha Obito covered his eye. Just now, he had sensed something leaking out from within it.

"Obito!!! Look at the mess you've made!"

Black Zetsu glared at Obito and spoke through gritted teeth. Fear had given way to rage. Black Zetsu had never felt such fury before. This useless Obito had gone out for one trip, failed to accomplish his goal, and somehow come back with a father.

A monster that could threaten his life. It did not even need to know him or recognize him. As long as Black Zetsu entered the range covered by this monster's power, he would soon die inside it, with nowhere to hide.

A monster. This was a true monster.

"..."

Seeing Black Zetsu's furious expression, Obito fell silent for a moment. He could understand why Black Zetsu was so angry. A power that forcibly drained the energy inside one's body, without leaving any means of resistance, was indeed terrifying.

"Sorry, there was nothing I could do. Who could have imagined that when the Uchiha Clan faced extermination, such a monster would be born? It was all Uchiha Itachi's fault. He must not have killed this monster completely back then, giving him the chance to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

Uchiha Obito shook his head, staring fixedly at Uchiha Yue in the sky. His heart brimmed with dread and resentment as he immediately shifted the blame onto Uchiha Itachi. After all, it had been Uchiha Itachi who had approached him back then, wanting to destroy the Uchiha Clan.

The current situation was entirely the fault of that idiot Uchiha Itachi. If that idiot had not proposed wiping out the Uchiha Clan, then even if Uchiha Obito had entertained such thoughts, he would not have acted on them for the time being.

"Uchiha Itachi! Damn it!"

Black Zetsu muttered Uchiha Itachi's name, hatred filling his heart. It was all because of that guy, and that idiot Uchiha Obito. If not for those two fools, how could someone capable of threatening his life have appeared in the Ninja World?

Unfortunately, Uchiha Itachi was already dead. Black Zetsu did not possess the power to travel through time and return to the past to stop those two from carrying out the clan extermination plan.

"However, Zetsu, you do not need to worry. No matter how powerful this guy looks right now, he cannot keep it up for long. After all, those are only Mangekyō Sharingan. The Uchiha Clan has already been exterminated, so he can never attain the true Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. Once his Dōryoku is exhausted, this strange phenomenon will quickly disappear."

Uchiha Obito lowered his head and extended a hand. In only that short time, the domain that withered all things and absorbed all energy had already reached them. Uchiha Obito's hand entered it, and he felt the power within his body being absorbed. He tried to control the Chakra within him, but it was futile. He could only slow it down to the slightest extent and was utterly unable to stop his Chakra from being absorbed.

Then, the two of them retreated rapidly.

Black Zetsu turned his head and looked at Uchiha Obito as though he were an idiot.

"Obito, you idiot, do you think Dōryoku cannot be restored without the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?"

"W-what do you mean? Could it be..."

Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Obito froze. A sense of foreboding surged within him, and an awful possibility emerged in his mind.

"If the Mangekyō Sharingan could not restore Dōryoku, then what is going on with you now? And look, this monster is constantly absorbing energy. Whether it is Chakra or light, it is all food for him. And Dōryoku, when all is said and done, is merely a special kind of Chakra. How can you be certain that this monster cannot restore Dōryoku while absorbing energy?"

Black Zetsu spoke in a gloomy, trembling voice. It was not certain, but the possibility was extremely high.

"Th-this can't be possible... If this guy's Dōryoku can keep recovering, and his domain can keep expanding, then won't the entire Ninja World eventually be covered by his domain? No, no, impossible, impossible. This is absolutely impossible. It is only a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. Even if it can restore Dōryoku, there must be a limit. He cannot expand infinitely!"

Obito took a step back, looking at the blurry figure in the sky, then at the ever-expanding domain. His face was dazed as terror and the feeling that he had caused a catastrophe rose within him. The next moment, he shook his head fiercely and hurriedly denied the possibility.

He did not dare, nor did he wish, to imagine such a future. Once the entire Ninja World was enveloped by that horrifying force field, everything would be over. In such an environment, even the so-called Tailed Beasts could not survive. They would be drained dry directly. If that happened, would his plan not be strangled in the cradle?

He would never accept such a future.

"Who knows? Maybe it is possible. Maybe it is not..."

Black Zetsu was stunned by Obito's words, then blankly looked toward Uchiha Yue in the sky. He trembled. If the future truly became like that, then he would definitely die, with no room to escape. Even if he burrowed into the deepest depths of the planet, he would not be able to escape his fate of death.

His own death did not matter. What mattered was that if he died, who would save his mother?

He had plotted for so many years. This was his closest brush with success. If it all failed like this, he would die with everlasting regret!

No, no, no!

He would never accept such a future.

"Whether he has a limit or not, whether he can restore Dōryoku or not, our current priority is to eliminate this monster completely—to kill him completely! Destroy those evil eyes once and for all!"

Black Zetsu spoke with utmost seriousness. He had already made up his mind. No matter the price, he would destroy this monster. Even if the current plan failed, there might be other opportunities in the future. But if he died now, there would be no opportunities left at all.

Without him, Uchiha Obito and Madara would not help him complete the plan to revive his mother.

Soon, the two left the area, deciding to tell Nagato that a monster capable of bringing about the destruction of the world had appeared in Konoha. Now was the time to save the world.

High above the heavens, Uchiha Yue stood within the halo, quietly absorbing energy and enjoying the sensation of becoming infinitely stronger. As for the changes in the outside world, he did not care. The Ninja World's fate had already been decided. Unless he was killed, no matter where anyone fled, their final fate would be death.
