Black Zetsu suffers in silence, Black Zetsu speaks of it.

Because Orochimaru's advanced technology prevented White Zetsu from infiltrating Konoha, Black Zetsu had to personally intervene to gather intelligence.

As a result, he ended up being chased and killed by the cat.

I don't know what this cat saw in Black Zetsu, but it was willing to jump from telephone pole to catch this dark creature.

Just as Black Zetsu was being chased, Obito arrived in front of Kazashiro.

"Sit down, Obito."

Kazashiro, who was dealing with village affairs, saw Obito standing straight in front of him and wondered why the other party was so solemn.

Upon hearing Kazashiro's words, Obito cautiously glanced at Uchiha Hikari, who was sitting by the window munching on a chocolate bar. Seeing that the other party did not react, he tentatively approached the chair and slowly moved his buttocks closer to the seat.

"Cough."

Hikaru coughed because the chocolate bar was too sweet, which immediately made Obito, who was already feeling guilty, stand at attention again.

Having witnessed all of this, Kazashiro instantly understood that the other party must have been intimidated by the light, so he stopped worrying about whether Obito should sit down.

"I heard you encountered the Fourth Raikage during this infiltration? And he wasn't affected by Yaowan's Dojutsu?"

Kazashiro asked his question.

"Yes."

Obito simply stood still and answered the question, glancing occasionally towards the direction of the light.

"Um..."

Kazashiro pressed the end of the pen against his chin, his brows furrowing slightly. He immediately realized that the other party's technological level seemed to be in a period of rapid development as well.

It seems that Jigen has indeed colluded with Yaowan.

I'll play Jigen?

Recalling how Naruto and Sasuke were brutally abused by Jigen, Kazashiro shuddered.

No, no, with my current skill level, I can only manage a single elbow strike from Old Man Ban. You want me to fight against Jigen? I'd rather go and fight the Five Kage one-on-one.

This arduous task must be left to Ōnoki.

Kazashiro made up his mind that when dealing with Jigen, he must have Ōnoki take the lead.

Ōnoki: Shimura, the born evil Shimura!

"Should we send people to surround and wipe them out?"

Obito had only just learned of the existence of the Ōtsutsuki and didn't yet have a clear understanding of their abilities, so he was somewhat eager to try them out.

"It's not the right time yet, but we should definitely keep an eye on them. Hmm, it would be better to cut off this tentacle of the Land of Snow first."

Kazashiro rejected Obito's suggestion, believing that the most urgent task was to tighten the encirclement and render the outer perimeter of the Dawn Organization ineffective.

"Kakashi had to put the mission to the Land of Snow on hold for a while because of the guard issue, but he's already set off with his team. I think we should deal with the situation in the Land of Snow first before making a decision."

After informing Obito of his plan, Kazashiro also gave him a new mission: "The whereabouts of the Sky Ninja have been identified, Jiraiya is monitoring them. You will lead your men to cooperate with them in battle and try to capture Shinno alive."

"Understood."

After listening, Obito replied with a serious expression.

Thanks to its ability to fly, Angkor Fortress reached the border of the Land of Demons after a long voyage.

There, Shinno encountered a fellow whose Medical Ninjutsu skills were no less than his own, named Huang Quan.

"The so-called Mōryō are nothing compared to the Ōtsutsuki."

Inside the fortress, Shinno eagerly explained the Ōtsutsuki to Huang Quan.

"Even I can only reside in the Outer Circle and cannot enter the Inner Circle. But if we join forces, I believe there will definitely be a place for us in the Inner Circle. When that lord is resurrected, you and I will surely obtain true immortality."

Shinno saw the potential of the Yellow Springs, hoped to join forces with them. With the secret techniques he obtained from Konoha, he was confident that he could share the Chakra Fruit with the Ōtsutsuki.

"I see, the Ōtsutsuki..."

Huang Quan did not give the other party a reply. He had never seen Ōtsutsuki's abilities, so he was skeptical of Shinno's description.

However, the series of statements made by the other party were indeed very interesting, especially regarding the origin of ninjas.

If Chakra is the power brought by these outsiders, then where do things Mōryō and Natural Energy come from?

At this moment, Jiraiya, along with Aburame Shikuroo and Tsume Inuzuka, were crouching outside the fortress, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

He noticed the subtle distortion in the space behind him, and just as Obito landed, his neck was grabbed by sharp white hair.

"It's me, you lecherous old man."

Obito hurriedly revealed his identity, surprised that his teacher's senses were so sharp that he could even detect the distortion of space.

"Let's get serious while we're on a mission."

Jiraiya found it hard to bear having his nickname exposed by Obito in front of two fellow villagers.

Blushing, Jiraiya gestured to Obito to be mindful of his behavior, Jiraiya then realizing that the only reinforcements seemed to be his foolish disciple.

"Just you?"

Jiraiya wasn't lacking confidence in his own abilities, but rather he believed that with only his own men, it was clearly impossible to completely eliminate such a large number of enemies.

"This is a crucial time for the formation of the Shinobi Alliance, and manpower is very tight. Moreover, Kazashiro said that we only need to deal with the key individuals."

Obito began to explain.
