Meanwhile.
Deep in the forest outside Konoha.
Beneath his Spiral Mask, Obito looked grim.
"Uchiha Fugaku... he certainly is decisive."
Black Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground beside him and said hoarsely:
"Using the younger brother to keep the older brother in check. It's an old trick, but it works. Even if Uchiha Onibi has other intentions, he won't dare make any rash moves now."
Obito glanced at Black Zetsu and said gravely:
"That Uchiha Shisui is the biggest problem."
"A Dōjutsu that alters a person's will, one that can control even a ninja of Hiruzen Sarutobi's caliber. If he used it against us..."
He left the sentence unfinished, but his meaning was clear.
Black Zetsu gave a sinister chuckle:
"What, afraid you'll turn into an old man farming fields too?"
Obito snorted coldly.
Of course he was afraid.
He knew all too well what Hiruzen Sarutobi was like now-
He grew vegetables and tended flowers in the Sarutobi Clan Compound every day, occasionally giving the clan's youngsters some guidance. He had completely lost interest in power, politics, and war, looking every bit a retired old farmer.
That look in his eyes, that state he was in...
It was definitely no act.
Shisui Uchiha's Dōjutsu really could completely transform a person's will.
Obito said coldly:
"My Eye of the Moon Plan is meant to create a world with Rin, not to send me off farming."
"We have to find a way to deal with Shisui Uchiha."
Black Zetsu shook his head:
"It won't be easy."
"He's one of Uchiha Fugaku's most trusted men now, as well as the ANBU commander. He has Uchiha clansmen protecting him at all times. And... don't forget, on the night of the coup, he only used one Dōjutsu."
Obito fell silent.
Shisui Uchiha's will-altering Dōjutsu
