Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu had been following behind Rasa's group ever since they left Sunagakure.
They searched for a suitable opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
However, because Black Zetsu had been scouting the surroundings, the moment Naruto and Minato Namikaze appeared, he immediately had Obito Uchiha take them into the Kamui Dimension.
That was why Naruto had not sensed them.
The two hid in the Kamui Dimension for a long time and only dared to emerge after confirming that Naruto had completely left.
"Looks like the Nine Tails Jinchuriki's target is most likely the Gelel Ore as well."
Black Zetsu's expression was extremely grim. He had not expected to run into the person he least wanted to encounter—the Nine Tails Jinchuriki—at their very first target.
If the other party obtained the Gelel Ore Vein as well, his strength would undoubtedly surge by another great margin.
Meanwhile, Obito Uchiha stared at the completely flattened landscape around them, still somewhat dazed.
It was the first time he had directly witnessed Naruto's strength.
"Then... what do we do now?"
Obito Uchiha was at a loss.
"Rasa's body is already gone. Are we still going to find a way to destroy the Gelel Ore Vein?"
Naruto possessed the ability of Kamui's left eye. If they truly ran into him, even with Kamui, Obito Uchiha feared he would be unable to escape.
At that, Black Zetsu could not help sighing again.
"The Gelel Ore Vein is already out of reach. Rasa has met with disaster, and so many of Sunagakure's elites have died here."
"Sunagakure must be extremely vulnerable internally. Let's make a trip there and see if we can find an opportunity to take the One-Tail away."
"Otherwise, it'll definitely benefit the Nine Tails Jinchuriki again someday."
This was the only way
