Chimera Technique? Blood Skull Gu!
"Take back your... other eye?"
Black Zetsu subconsciously repeated a sentence, glancing meaningfully at Obito's left eye.
"Good."
Obito nodded and said slowly:
"The knocking now is very strong."
To deal with him now, we must do everything in our power to retrieve the eye that Kakashi left with him; this is a necessary step.
He removed the hand that was covering his left eye and continued:
"The Akatsuki has been wiped out, and in his mind, I am already dead."
Based on my understanding of him, after dealing with these troubles, he will basically not have any unnecessary contact with Konoha, except for a few necessary matters.
Even without him, retrieving that left eye from Konoha wouldn't be difficult.
Black Zetsu nodded noncommittally, watching Obito's detailed Obito, but his heart was churning with thoughts far deeper than they appeared on the surface.
As the being that understands and manipulates people's hearts the most in this world, it naturally knows better than anyone what the left eye left with Kakashi Hatake truly means to Obito.
That was one of the few traces left by Uchiha Obito in this world; it was also the last remaining trace of his attachment to this world, just like his indulgence towards Koko.
Since Obito was able to make this decision himself, it means he has finally made up his mind.
Having made preparations for the Eye of the Moon Plan, I am prepared to completely sever ties with my past self when necessary.
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu finally felt relieved.
After all, in this increasingly passive situation, all it can rely on is this unreliable idiot.
The Obito was able to make up his mind completely is one of the few good things that has happened recently.
only--
A flicker of apprehension crossed Black Zetsu's single, eerie yellow eye, and he spoke in a hoarse voice to Obito:
"But with that kid's current strength, even if you get back that left eye, we still won't be able to truly threaten him."
On the contrary, your exposure will cause us to lose the only advantage we currently have that allows us to move freely in the shadows.
No matter how you look at it, this won't change the situation; it will only make us more passive.
As if he had anticipated Black Zetsu's question, Obito nodded noncommittally.
That's why I said this is just the clearest goal right now.
"Um?"
Seemingly sensing something from Obito's words, Black Zetsu narrowed his single eye:
"Do you have any other ideas?"
"... I guess so."
As he spoke, Obito shifted his gaze to the Kaneki Twins, who were staring intently at Black Zetsu, then glanced at the Mui corpse and chuckled:
"You should still remember why I founded the Moon Organization."
"Hmph, of course I remember."
Black Zetsu snorted coldly with extreme impatience, and said with great annoyance:
"Back then, you created this Moon Organization to prevent betrayal from Akatsuki and that brat Uchiha Kuro, didn't you?"
But now, Akatsuki has been completely wiped out, and Uchiha Kuro has grown to his current level.
"What use can these few ugly and deformed people be?"
Kaneki Eito's expression changed, and he instinctively lunged at Black Zetsu, but Obito's glare silenced him.
Obito withdrew his gaze and focused it back on Black Zetsu, speaking with a firm tone:
"The current Koko is indeed beyond the capabilities of the Moon Organization to handle."
But the moon's value doesn't lie in its direct combat capabilities.
Black Zetsu was silent for a moment, then said with some suspicion:
"You mean... the Chimera Technique?"
Obito did not deny it, and calmly continued:
"I should have mentioned it to you before: we collect ninjas with special Kekkei Genkai in the Ninja World and use them as sacrifices for the Chimera Technique."
However, things have changed now.
At this point, Obito paused, and in the moonlight, the light in his Sharingan appeared particularly eerie:
"I want you to search the Ninja World for the remains of the Uchiha Clan members who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan throughout history."
Black Zetsu's body stiffened almost imperceptibly for a moment, then he asked Obito in a deep voice, his voice filled with confusion:
"... What do you want with these remains?"
Obito smiled, a smile tinged with the chilling scent of blood:
"The reason I have spared no effort in supporting Hiruko 'Chimera Technique over the years is that..."
It's not just about immortality and a mere five Kekkei Genkai.
"At my request (coercion), Hiruko had already made considerable improvements to the Chimera Technique."
The improved Chimera Technique, while abandoning its core ability of immortality, also removed the original limitations of the technique.
It no longer requires living people as sacrifices, nor is it limited to the Kekkei Genkai possessed by the caster.
Even corpses that have almost completely lost their integrity and vitality can be used as sacrifices for this technique and reused.
As if realizing something terrible, Black Zetsu's single, eerie yellow eye suddenly narrowed:
"You mean, you want to use the corpses of Uchiha who have awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan as sacrifices to enhance the power and purity of your Sharingan?!"
Obito slowly nodded:
"While it can't compare to a living sacrifice, if there are enough of them, it can still achieve a considerable effect."
"As long as I gather enough offerings, and with the enhancement of the Chimera Technique, I, having regained my eyes, may not necessarily lack the strength to fight Kou."
By then, reclaiming the Rinnegan from him and continuing the Eye of the Moon Plan will naturally not be a problem.
Black Zetsu stared at Obito, his eyes filled with deep shock.
When did this idiot become smart?
When did he start preparing all this? How come I didn't know?
"Tsk, is it because you've spent too much time and energy searching for intelligence throughout the Ninja World these past few years, neglecting to observe this pawn?"
Black Zetsu silently reflected on himself, then looked at Obito in front of him with a complicated expression.
What's intriguing is Obito's repeated indulgence of that brat Uchiha Kuro over the years...
Was it out of affection for a former comrade, or had he long ago harbored the idea of using him as a sacrifice to enhance his strength in order to deal with Madara after his resurrection?
Black Zetsu silently suppressed this conjecture and calmly assessed the current situation.
If what Obito said is true, then the Chimera Technique modified by Hiruko could indeed give Obito enough power to directly confront Uchiha Kuro.
Sending him to fight Uchiha Kuro to a standstill while he secretly prepares to revive Uchiha Madara is indeed a good idea.
Black Zetsu secretly pondered to himself, giving Obito a deep look before feigning agreement and saying:
"I understand. I will do as you say and search the Ninja World for the corpses of those Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan."
"... Then I'll leave it to you, Black Zetsu."
Obito spoke calmly, a stiff smile appearing on his pale face.
Black Zetsu glanced at him disdainfully, without saying a word.
Obito seemed unconcerned by Black Zetsu's indifferent attitude, slowly shifting his gaze from Black Zetsu's severed body to the forest before him, a place stained with blood and night dew, bathed in moonlight and shadows.
Kisame stood quietly watching him from the shadows of a tree not far away.
The Kaneki Twins, as always, looked at him with fervent eyes.
"Alright, we should go now."
Obito turned around, his back to Mist Village, and walked towards the path leading to the wider world beyond the forest:
"Everything... is just beginning."
P. S.: This isn't intentional embellishment; it will be explained later. Consider it foreshadowing.
I don't know why, but I'm not in a good mood today; I'm too restless.
Chapter Two will be added tomorrow morning, sorry...
