"You have a death wish!"
Ryōta growled. Susanoo's four eyes lit up simultaneously, and its hands formed two massive wind-blade swords, slashing wildly at Black Zetsu!
Seeing this, Obito hastily retreated behind a boulder.
A trace of coldness flashed through Black Zetsu's yellow eyes.

Black Zetsu's gaze turned cold.
He slowly raised his right hand, and a
