"Let's withdraw for now!"
Black Zetsu's voice was icy, carrying a decisive tone.
"Once that Third Hokage gets here, neither of us will be able to leave!"
Black Zetsu had now fully understood the Third Hokage's strength. Just moments ago, even he had nearly failed to return!
Uchiha Obito's expression darkened at those words.
Did that mean his entire plan had failed?
Not only had he failed to weaken Konoha and collect the Tailed Beasts, he had also lost the Rinnegan, and even exposed his own identity!

"Uchiha Madara himself will have to come!"
Black Zetsu said in a low voice.

Uchiha Shisui's expertise was not limited to the Flying Thunder God Technique. With the power of the [Dimensional Formation], he also possessed countless other space-time Ninjutsu.
During Uchiha Obito's spatial transfers, the slightest lapse in attention could allow Uchiha Shisui to
