Black Zetsu sneered and spoke with certainty.
"Do you even need to ask?"
"He just went back to Kirigakure to stir up trouble and take revenge, indulging his own selfish urges."
White Zetsu only half understood, but obediently nodded in agreement.
In their eyes, Obito had already become nothing more than an obsessive, cold-blooded machine.
Black Zetsu's expression darkened as he issued White Zetsu an uncompromising order.
"Listen carefully."
"Deploy more White Zetsu. Have them spread out and infiltrate the area around Konoha, keeping three targets under constant surveillance, twenty-four hours a day."
"First, the new Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Second, the movements of Konoha High Command. Third, every move the entire Uchiha Clan makes."
"Report even the slightest disturbance to me immediately."
The entire Shinobi World erupted once again, countless ninja discussing what they had seen with a whirlwind of emotions.
"I have to say, Obito's luck after turning evil was absolutely ridiculous! Everything went his way!"
"Exactly! He didn't even have to scheme or fight tooth and nail. His opponents handed him every opportunity!"
"The Five Great Hidden Villages distrusted each other and never stopped fighting among themselves. Konoha High Command was narrow-minded, and the Uchiha were rigid, obsessive, and unwilling to adapt. Everyone was digging their own grave!"
Someone let out a long sigh, seeing through the whole tragic chain of events.
"So the Uchiha Clan Massacre wasn't caused by just one thing!"
"It wasn't just Danzo's ruthlessness or Konoha High Command's suspicions. Obito was one of the masterminds too! The Uchiha never had a chance!"
"Then do you think Konoha High Command regretted it afterward?"
"Regretted it? What did they have to regret?"
"They never held the butcher's knife. Itachi was the one left with blood on his hands, while the higher-ups stayed clean and reaped the rewards!"
