Prelude to War

Graveyard of Mountains.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path radiated a surging power of darkness from every part of its body.

Not only had the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path fully recovered, it had also gained the abilities of the Zero-Tails.

As long as the hearts of nearby people were consumed by despair and sorrow, they would feel anger and hatred toward the root cause of their misfortune.

Those painful emotions would stir their hearts, producing Dark Chakra.

It was simply impossible to imagine how powerful this ability would be on a battlefield.

Wasn't Chakra precisely what the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path lacked? Now that it possessed this ability—

Obito had far more room to maneuver.

Standing beneath the enormous Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Obito's heart trembled.

The stronger the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path became, the easier it would be for him to capture the Tailed Beasts.

Obito also possessed Dual Kamui and the Rinnegan, so he could take the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path away at any time.

As long as he moved quickly enough, capturing Tailed Beast Jinchuriki would become much easier.

"Hello..."

Afei, the long-unseen master of bathroom urges, had returned.

Seeing Afei acting so frivolously, Obito was speechless. He truly had no idea who this thing had learned it from.

"Why did you only return now? Did you gain anything?"

Obito remembered that Afei and Muku had gone to operate in Mist Village.

Afei directly pulled out a palm bone and stuffed it into Obito's hand.

"This is Hozuki Gengetsu's hand bone."

Obito showed a surprised expression. "How did you get it?"

Afei looked rather smug. "I infiltrated using the Disguise Technique. No one noticed me."

Obito frowned slightly. "I hope you didn't alert Mist Village."
