The Land of Rain, Akatsuki.
Obito Uchiha emerged from the Kamui Dimension.
Black Zetsu immediately noticed Obito's battered state.
"Obito, did you run into danger?"
Although Obito Uchiha was young, he had awakened the Mangekyō and possessed the Kamui Dimension.
In theory, few people in the Shinobi World could hurt him.
Yet now, not only was his robe in tatters, but his entire right hand and arm were missing.
What exactly had happened while he was away?
Black Zetsu had been busy providing Akatsuki with an intelligence network and had no idea where Obito had gone or whom he had met.
"How many times have I told you? Call me Madara!"
Obito Uchiha stared coldly at Black Zetsu, unconsciously adopting Madara's voice.
Ever since Madara Uchiha's death, he had lived under Madara's identity, using his own voice only in front of Jin.
"All right, Madara."
Black Zetsu grumbled inwardly that pawns were such a nuisance.
"Now can you tell me how you got hurt?"
He did not want Obito getting himself killed without even knowing what had happened. Without Obito to keep Nagato in check, their plan would be difficult to carry out.
"I infiltrated Konoha to gather intelligence and ran into an old friend."
Obito Uchiha's gaze was complicated, but his tone did not change in the slightest.
"I wanted to recruit him into Akatsuki, but unfortunately, he'd been brainwashed by the Will of Fire."
Konoha's Will of Fire really was a harmful thing.
He, too, had once revered the so-called Will of Fire, but reality had proven it utterly useless.
Only the Eye of the Moon plan could bring true peace to the Shinobi World!
In his view, Uchiha Jin had refused to join him simply because he had been taken in by the village's sugar-coated lies.
