Obito Uchiha was momentarily stunned by the sudden punch.
But a moment later, the corners of his mouth rose.
"Hahaha!"
"Kakashi, that's more like it! Kill me! If you don't, I'll slaughter everyone in the village, just like I killed your teacher and his wife!"

Bzzzt—
Boom—
The Rasengan slammed straight into the ground where Black Zetsu had poked his head out, triggering a violent explosion.
A second later, Black Zetsu
