Meanwhile, in another forest not far away, a puddle of black, sticky stuff that looked like oil clung to a tree trunk, watching Aragaki Yasushi capture the Three-Tails in the distance.
It was none other than the Ninja World's biggest mama's boy, Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu muttered in confusion, "What the hell? What is that thing? It can actually trap the Three-Tails?"
"Is it some kind of special ninja tool?"
But as an old relic of the Ninja World, he knew pretty much every ninja tool capable of capturing a Tailed Beast.
He'd never seen this one before.
"Strange. How does this Konoha brat have a ninja tool like that?"
Black Zetsu mulled it over for a long time but couldn't make heads or tails of it, so he gave up.
It didn't matter if Aragaki Yasushi captured the Three-Tails.
It wasn't time to collect the Tailed Beasts yet. Knowing where the Three-Tails was would be enough.
The real problem was that Nohara Rin had somehow been brought back to life.
This was bad. Obito's corruption plan would probably fall apart!
Black Zetsu was deeply irritated.
Everything had been arranged. The Mist would seal the Three-Tails inside Rin, then Kakashi would kill her with his own hands.
Obito would surely turn evil, and then he'd obediently follow Madara's orders and carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan.
But Aragaki Yasushi had come out of nowhere and ruined everything. What rotten luck!
But soon, Black Zetsu saw the bright side.

If the plan failed, Madara could worry about it. What did it have to do with him?
All he had to do was do his job, keep an eye on Obito, and
