Wasn't the time spent a little too much?
About ten minutes later, Uchiha Nobuhiko, who had been resting with his eyes closed atop a tree branch, slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
It had been roughly twenty or thirty minutes since he had started holding Taki Chiba back. By their agreement, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu should have met up with him by now.
As for the rendezvous point, with Black Zetsu around, there was no need to decide on one.
If the mission had been completed, Black Zetsu would naturally locate him and inform Uchiha Obito, who would then make his way over.
Uchiha Nobuhiko and Uchiha Obito had agreed that he would hold Taki Chiba back while Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu went after the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. With Black Zetsu's abilities, as long as they could infiltrate Konoha and make use of Uchiha Obito's Space-Time Ability, they should have found the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and the Fourth Hokage ten minutes ago.
Given the complexity of a Jinchuriki's seal, even if the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, excelled at Sealing Jutsu, he could not possibly have fully repaired it ten minutes ago. Uchiha Obito should have been fully capable of undoing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki's seal.
Uchiha Nobuhiko could even guess how it had gone. It was likely just a repeat of what had happened in that secret chamber. Given Uchiha Obito's character, he had most likely let Black Zetsu find that newborn brat first, then used the child to force the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, into submission.
That was also the simplest method and the one most likely to succeed.
After all, they were making their move within Konoha, and Konoha already knew that someone intended to harm the Nine-Tails. The village was already under martial law.
