Almost instantly, Sasuke understood what had just happened.
Fuck, he really had let arrogance get the better of him. He had truly become Uchiha Sasuke: the skies had cleared, the rain had stopped, and Brother Sasuke thought he was hot shit again.
He hadn't expected Black Zetsu to have that trick up his sleeve.
Judging by the situation, though, Sasuke realized that Black Zetsu would need some time to erase it. As long as he hurried and brought the others over now, he could still make it.
With that thought, Sasuke couldn't spare another word. He couldn't keep dragging this out. The Exhaustion Tactic had done enough; any longer, and Obito would rebound from rock bottom. No, any longer, and that trapped dragon would ascend to heaven!
The meeting in the Land of Water could wait. Genji and the others would need time to settle accounts with Karatachi Yagura anyway, and Zabuza was still there acting as his representative. He had to get his priorities straight.
With that thought, Sasuke immediately prepared to leave. He needed to leave some Flying Thunder God Coordinates near Obito first, then either send a clone or teleport back to hurry the others over.
But just as he raised his hands to form hand seals, a hand grabbed him.
Turning his head, he saw that Naruto hadn't spoken, but the look in his eyes made Sasuke pause. It seemed Naruto had grasped where things were headed even faster than he had. At the same time, a stream of chakra carrying information flowed over.
Don't rush. I know about that lump of black sludge. We've talked about him before. He might really be able to erase Flying Thunder God Coordinates, but he hasn't done it all this time. I'm sure you know what that means.
