Obito Uchiha-Otsutsuki Toneri would never keep him within his own Akatsuki. With that, what could the weak and isolated Obito amount to?
And if it all ended without even Madara Uchiha appearing, would it still be Naruto?
So Otsutsuki Toneri needed to find him a teammate-a powerful teammate, one who could bring Obito Uchiha immense support and combat strength!
The Akatsuki he had built with his own hands was too strong!
He feared no opponent; he only felt his opponents were too weak, and that would leave him regretful.
"Heh heh heh... So that's how it is. Overly confident, aren't you, Toneri. Rest assured, I'll handle it well." Black Zetsu's lips split into a grin at those words, smiling darkly. He understood what Otsutsuki Toneri meant.
But this idea suited him perfectly; he liked this conviction of Otsutsuki Toneri's-fearing no powerful enemy.
Black Zetsu, who had always been timid and cautious, manipulating conspiracies and schemes in the shadows, also very much wanted to experience once a tactic of meeting things head-on with absolute strength.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Once the Ten-Tails is revived, you can return." Otsutsuki Toneri nodded, then smiled at Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu was still needed for now to guide Obito Uchiha, and could not be exposed yet.
"No problem. Then I'll go make the arrangements first." Black Zetsu shook his head. He was long used to such matters and did not care about this little bit of time.

"You men—are you all so fond of playing with power and scheming, so fond of toying with the people of the world?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki
