As the spatial vortex appeared, a figure fell face down onto the floor.
After turning him over, Qingyue found that Kakashi was still conscious, so she asked him.
"Hatake, do you need a medical ninja?"
This wasn't just a random question; after all, Qingyue wasn't a medical ninja, but she could roughly tell that Kakashi wasn't in good condition.
For more specific results, instrument testing is required.
Many ninjas are in poor condition after battle, but they don't choose to seek immediate medical treatment. After all, there are all sorts of strange techniques at play; perhaps it's a special training method?
Kakashi was too weak to speak at this point, and could only gesture with his eyes.
Thank you for your help!
Upon receiving the signal, Qingyue immediately contacted the medical ninjas stationed in the Experimental Building and took Kakashi away.
Kakashi, on the stretcher, was not feeling well at that moment.
After the paralysis effect of the Lightning Release chakra wore off, Kakashi experienced intense pain throughout his body; normally, Kakashi would have already passed out.
However, the current situation is roughly as follows.
Body: Brain, what are you doing? Why aren't you on standby in this situation?
Left eye: Feeling great, get your brain working!
There's no way around it; the Sharingan shouts so loudly that the brain only hears the eye's noise.
However, this is perfect for Kakashi, as it allows him to properly consider matters concerning Obito.
After Kakashi returned, Fugaku also received news that the mission was over, and he immediately returned to Konoha.
Only the Black and White Zetsu remained in the cave, waiting for Obito to appear.
The longer it dragged on, the heavier Black Zetsu's heart became. Could Obito really have been killed?
It was clearly a pretty useful chess piece!
In another dark cave in the Land of Fire.
Obito quickly treated the wounds on his face, then took out a new mask and put it on.
As for returning to the previous cave?
Obito had no idea what to do. The operation had failed, Zetsu had escaped, and there was still that guy with the Mangekyō Sharingan over there. What was the point of going back? To get beaten up?
Obito, inside the cave, felt a sense of relief.
Because the Cursed Seal on the heart has disappeared all along!
This wasn't the first time Obito had used Izanagi, but the Cursed Seal on his heart was normally just a harmless chakra.
Izanagi never considered the Cursed Seal a disadvantage, so even after his resurrection, the Cursed Seal remained with him.
This time, just before Kakashi's Lightning Blade was about to strike the heart, the Cursed Seal sensed the approaching abnormal chakra and activated first, destroying the heart.
Therefore, after using Izanagi this time, it was determined to be a disadvantageous factor, and Obito's heart no longer had the Cursed Seal after his resurrection.
"Haha! Haha, hahaha!"
Inside the pitch-black cave, Obito lay on his back and laughed loudly.
It's impossible to know how much joy, how much melancholy, and how much helplessness were in that smile.
The operation failed, the disguise was exposed, the Cursed Seal was lifted, and the private space was transformed into Lovers' Space.
A variety of complex emotions were released along with Obito's laughter.
After laughing, Obito sat in the cave and began to think seriously.
The first question I had to consider was: should I go it alone?
Over the years, despite sharing the same goal, Obito could clearly sense that the White Zetsu did not respect him enough due to the Cursed Seal on his heart.
Black Zetsu isn't much better; Obito has disliked him for a long time.
Having truly gained his freedom and possessing Kamui Obito would have his own ideas.
However, just a moment later, Obito rejected the idea of going it alone.
As Madara's proxy, Obito was well aware of White Zetsu's intelligence capabilities.
The White Zetsu, which are spread throughout the entire Shinobi World, are the biggest obstacle. Unless Obito does nothing, it's impossible for him to make any moves behind the White Zetsu's back.
If they can't go it alone, then they have no choice but to continue cooperating with Black Zetsu.
However, the way we cooperate will need to change.
Obito muttered to himself.
After thinking about it for over an hour, Obito finally made his final decision.
After getting up, Obito took off the new mask and threw it into the cave, without putting it into the Kamui Space.
It then disappeared.
Arriving at the cave where Fugaku had been placed, Obito looked at the empty cave but didn't rush to leave.
Just seconds later, a White Zetsu emerged from the ground.
"Hello, Obito, you're still alive?!"
"Where 'Black Zetsu? Tell him to come here!"
Obito the order to White Zetsu.
Without a word, White Zetsu immediately burrowed underground to report to Black Zetsu.
As this White Zetsu traveled underground, it sensed something was wrong and it took it a long time to figure it out.
Obito wasn't like the other White Zetsu described—not that he had a bad temper or was difficult to deal with.
Black Zetsu waited for about half an hour after Fugaku left before leaving himself. In Black Zetsu's mind, since Uchiha Yushu had made such thorough preparations, Obito must be doomed.
In truth, Ren never intended to kill Obito, after all, Obito was someone who could wield the Rinnegan and become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.
How could Ren let Obito die so easily? He sent Kakashi to fight Obito and teach Obito a lesson.
This will make it clear to Obito that Konoha is not something he can touch, and that even without Ren, there are still people who can deal with Obito.
As for the deeper purpose, since Kakashi won, there's no need to go into details.
Regardless of the outcome of Kakashi and Obito's battle, it will achieve Ren's expectations.
Ren never considers only one scenario or makes only one plan.
