"You...!"
Black Zetsu was stunned. His mind hadn't even caught up yet, and he couldn't understand how Tobirama Senju had found this place, let alone arrived with such precise timing.
Tobirama swept out a hand and grabbed Black Zetsu.
He grabbed the glass test tube at the same time.
"Senju Tobirama, how did you...?"
"How did I end up here, right? Well, I have this Rinnegan to thank!"
Tobirama crushed the glass tube in one hand, along with the 'Rinnegan' inside.
That revealed the tiny bone fragment hidden within the Rinnegan, with a Flying Thunder God Mark carved right into it!
It was obvious.
Tobirama had tracked Black Zetsu's hideout all the way here by following the mark on the bone fragment hidden inside the Rinnegan!
"Impossible! How could this Rinnegan be fake? It's impossible!!!"
Black Zetsu was close to breaking down. It even wondered if it had fallen under a Genjutsu!
Earlier.
At the Ninja Way Tournament award ceremony, when Tobirama had presented the Rinnegan in front of everyone, Black Zetsu had hidden among the crowd and personally checked it.
It had confirmed for itself that the Rinnegan was genuine!
Only then had it set White Zetsu and the others to work on the next stages of their plan.
Besides, ever since the Rinnegan had reached Chiyo in Sunagakure, it hadn't come into contact with a single Konoha shinobi. There was no way it could have been switched!
And Sunagakure?
They couldn't possibly have had the time or the skill to quickly make such a convincing replica!
This fake Rinnegan had fooled not only White Zetsu.
Even Black Zetsu itself hadn't spotted the difference at first glance.
That showed just how convincing it was. It was even more exquisitely crafted than the replica Black Zetsu and the others had
