"Obito, it looks like you're in trouble."
In the cave, Obito Uchiha lay on a stone bed with his eyes closed and his hands behind his head, looking as though he had fallen asleep.
Just then, Black Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground, and the White Zetsu half spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.
Obito Uchiha sat up on the bed, his exposed three tomoe staring calmly at him.
"What's Uchiha Jin been up to?"
He had sent several White Zetsu to keep a close watch on Uchiha Jin during this time, with orders to report immediately at the slightest sign of activity.
"Uchiha Jin is coming for you with Minato Namikaze, Shisui Uchiha, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya."
Black Zetsu spoke in a raspy voice, sounding intrigued.
"Oh, and your former teammate, Kakashi Hatake. He's already told them you're alive."
Obito Uchiha fell silent at that.
Although he had anticipated this day ever since Uchiha Jin recognized him, he had never expected it to come so soon!
He had even clung to the hope that Jin would not expose his identity.
After all, it had been over a year since his identity was discovered.
If he had kept quiet for that long, perhaps he would never tell.
Who would have thought? All he had done was join forces with Hiruzen Sarutobi to assassinate Uchiha Jin, playing a little prank on him in his spare time.
Yet that guy couldn't take a joke at all. He had gotten so worked up that he was bringing people over to kill him.
How petty...
"Obito, why don't you take Nagato and the others and run?"
Black Zetsu was terrified that the Akatsuki would be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Who would help him revive his mother then?
Better to flee ahead of time.
