(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow, everyone.)
Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan turned slowly, and the distortion in space became visible to the naked eye.
He stopped walking and stood where he was. His voice remained calm, but it carried an unmistakable chill.
"Talk?"
Obito repeated the word with a hint of mockery.
"You said we'd 'each get what we need.' Sounds fair enough. But why should I trust you?"
Obito Uchiha spoke evenly.
Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes. Black Chakra still writhed slowly around his feet, but he did not attack.
In truth, Black Zetsu already wanted to make his move. At a glance, he still looked no different from the Black Zetsu in the original story.
But after completing numerous system missions, he had acquired a vast array of ninjutsu and even learned Senjutsu, albeit a watered-down version.
Even so, Black Zetsu had reservations. Obito now possessed Dual Kamui, and with his current strength, Black Zetsu truly had no way past its evasion.
He knew that if they fought head-on, this body of his might not come out ahead.
Especially now that Obito had both eyes and Kamui had fully awakened.
"You don't have to trust me."
"But you have to admit I understand the rules underlying this world better than you do. Kaguya's power, the true nature of the Ten-Tails, even the contingencies the Sage of Six Paths left behind... A pair of Mangekyō Sharingan alone won't tell you all that."
Black Zetsu softened his voice, sounding almost patient.
He shifted half a step to the side and lowered his posture, as though offering an olive branch.
"I can teach you true Yin-Yang Release, Time-Limited Resurrection, even how to take complete control of the Ten-Tails without suffering a backlash. Madara never got the chance to teach you those things. I can."
