"I don't think he'll intervene."
Black Zetsu said gravely, "That may be true, but the risk is too great. We can't be certain Hyuga Akira won't intervene."
"Then lure him away," Obito said gravely. "That woman from the Hyuga Clan is carrying his child. If he intervenes, we'll take her away."

Obito calmed down a little. He understood that reasoning, too.
