What? That Wasn't You?

Obito Uchiha stared blankly at Orochimaru running towards the village, his eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.

After a long while, Orochimaru's figure gradually disappeared from his sight.

"He's acting so seriously? No wonder almost no one can see through his Disguise Technique."

Obito muttered to himself and shook his head slightly.

On the other side, Karin and Jugo cautiously glanced at Obito Uchiha.

Their eyes were filled with wariness and unease, and then they quietly retreated to the side.

Now that Kabuto Yakushi has left, in their eyes, only the masked person in front of them is dangerous.

If he doesn't interfere, they might be able to leave smoothly.

Obito Uchiha naturally noticed their actions, but in his opinion, the two of them were of no use to him.

"If you want to get out, then get out of here now. If Kabuto Yakushi realizes what's happening, you won't be able to escape either."

Obito's voice was cold, as if devoid of any emotion.

Karin and the other girl were taken aback.

I didn't expect that the other party had already noticed me.

That makes sense; after all, with two such large targets, how could they not be noticed?

"Thanks."

Karin thanked him politely, her voice tinged with gratitude.

Immediately, Jugo grabbed her arm and pulled her away. Jugo's face was full of tension; he was very worried that the masked man in front of him might suddenly attack.

Then he killed them, and without saying a word, he activated his Complete Form Cursed Seal Transformation Mode, maximizing his speed.

"..." Obito Uchiha glanced at the direction the two had fled, but did not stop them.

He waited there for a long time, but still couldn't see Black Zetsu.

"Where did that old bastard run off to? Did he get caught by Konoha Konoha? He can't be that stupid Orochimaru, can he?"

Obito frowned, pondering to himself.

Just as he was pondering this, a dark shape emerged from the ground.

"Hey, why aren't you here yet? It's very dangerous for me to be hiding at the Village Entrance. Several times I felt like I was about to be spotted by the guards. Fortunately, my Mayfly Technique is unparalleled in concealing my presence. As long as they can't see me, they basically can't detect my existence."

Black Zetsu said irritably, with a hint of complaint in his voice.

However, after he finished speaking, Obito Uchiha's brows furrowed instantly beneath his mask.

"What did you say? You ran off towards the village and expect me to come find you? Did I say we'd meet at the Village Entrance entrance?"

Black Zetsu's eyes widened, filled with confusion:???

"Didn't you tell me to wait at the Village Entrance? To make it more realistic, I tried to be as close to the Konoha Village Entrance as possible! I risked being discovered and waited for so long, but you never showed up! That's why I ran back!"

He was furious; he rarely listened to anyone, yet he was being ignored.

Upon Obito, Obito frowned even more deeply, sensing that something was amiss!

"You just said you didn't see us??"

"Yeah, there's no one here! I've been waiting for almost an hour!"

Black Zetsu complained.

"..."

"..." Obito Uchiha's eyes widened instantly.

"Wasn't that Orochimaru you were impersonating? You didn't even see Kabuto Yakushi today, did you?!"

He asked quickly, his voice tinged with urgency.

Black Zetsu shook his head repeatedly. "Yes, we didn't see anyone at all."

"Wait!" Black Zetsu also realized, "You mean Orochimaru appeared just now?"

"Yes! He's standing right there, doing who knows what. He's obviously fake; I thought it was you!"

Obito Uchiha pointed in the direction where Orochimaru had been.

Black Zetsu kept shaking his head. "It wasn't me! How could I be standing there? It's so far from the village. If I stood there, wouldn't anyone be able to tell I was an imposter if they thought about it carefully?"

"Could it be... Orochimaru?!"

The two said in unison.

"I've figured it out!"

I finally understand why Black Zetsu turned and ran away after seeing my signal!

It turns out he wasn't Black Zetsu; he was Orochimaru himself!

Damn it, I let him go again!

Obito Uchiha with resentment, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"Looks like you've run into the real Orochimaru..."

Black Zetsu rested one hand on his chin, deep in thought.

Obito's face darkened, and he said through gritted teeth, "What a pity, we couldn't capture Orochimaru, but that guy actually joined Konoha!"

"What? He joined Konoha? If Kabuto Yakushi spoke with him, doesn't that mean our plan didn't fail?"

Black Zetsu's eyes lit up, as if he had seen a new hope.

Obito Uchiha lightly. "Hmph, there was no failure, but Orochimaru is the one who deserves to die the most!"

"I knew it! How could Ōnoki Nagato even get into Konoha's Village Entrance? They couldn't possibly be that strong. Now it seems Orochimaru sold out information to Konoha in exchange for a place to stay!"

"So what do we do now?" Black Zetsu pressed.

"Never mind, let's go back to Kabuto Yakushi and proceed according to the original plan. Now that Orochimaru has really joined, we don't need to keep deceiving him afterward, and we don't have to worry about Orochimaru suddenly appearing in front of Kabuto Yakushi and telling him that he hasn't joined Konoha."

Obito Uchiha spoke, his body was sucked into the Kamui Dimension by a black vortex.

Black Zetsu watched Obito disappear, speechless for a moment. "... He was about to curse. Wasn't he tired of running back and forth? Couldn't he just let me sit in the Kamui Dimension and enjoy myself?"

He suddenly remembered that, until now, he had never entered Obito Uchiha's Kamui Dimension.

"Is there some unspeakable secret inside?"

While thinking, Black Zetsu used the Mayfly Technique to rush towards Cloud Village.

And there really is a secret within the Kamui Dimension —the secret of Obito Uchiha.

The Sharingan that Rin Nohara and Night of the Clan Annihilation obtained are all Kamui Dimension, so Black Zetsu certainly can't just enter them.

Of course, it doesn't matter to the enemy. The enemy doesn't have time to look for Rin Nohara or the Sharingan in the space; they only want to escape as quickly as possible.

Konoha Village)

Jugo and Karin appeared at the Village Entrance.

Although they didn't intend to come to Konoha, the direction Kabuto Yakushi ran in and the position Obito Uchiha standing meant that the only way to get away from them was to run towards Konoha first.

"Oh? Karin, Jugo?"

Just then, a familiar, hoarse voice rang out.

The two of them froze, as if they had been Binding Curse.

They knew who was making the sound.

Orochimaru!

Why hasn't Orochimaru returned to the village after all this time?!

Was he deliberately waiting for us?!

They've already figured out our escape route?!
