"Of course." Black Zetsu's tone did not fluctuate at all, "Lord Madara asked White Zetsu to investigate. You later went to the blown-up cave in person and saw the scene with your own eyes."
"But why," Obito turned his head sharply, and the three windmill darts in the Mangekyō Sharingan seemed to spin rapidly due to the owner's emotions, "After so many years, Isobu has never appeared in Shinobi World?"
"Tailed Beast will never really die! After Jinchūriki dies, it will only take a while for them to regroup and resurrect Chakra. But now, how many years have passed since Lin's death?!"
Boom!
Obito's voice echoed in the room, carrying a questioning anger.
After listening to Obito Uchiha's words, cold sweat almost flowed down the white half of Black Zetsu's face.
[Grass! (a plant)]
[This chess piece is too difficult to carry! Why do you think so much when you have nothing to do? Can't you just work hard on your career? What kind of logical reasoning do you have to do with your love brain?]
[That old guy Madara should have done everything right in the beginning and left no 'possibilities'! It's better now, I still have to wipe his butt for him!]
Black Zetsu is complaining madly in his heart, but on the surface, his voice remains calm, even with a hint of elder-like advice.
"Obito, calm down. Your logic is not wrong, but you ignored the special nature of Kirigakure."
"What's special?" Obito asked.
"The current village is in internal chaos, so it is normal for information to be blocked. Three-Tails was captured by a certain force just after he was resurrected, and then secretly cultivated into a new Jinchūriki. This is not Is it normal?" Black Zetsu explained calmly, "They just hid this Jinchūriki as a secret weapon, so we didn't find it. What's so strange about this?"
This explanation is reasonable and reasonable.
But the suspicion in Obito's heart did not dissipate.
It is an intuition, an intuition derived from the deepest obsession in the heart.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
"What if... what if Lin is not dead?" Obito's voice was almost inaudible, with a hint of trembling and hope that even he himself could not believe.
"No way!"
Black Zetsu's voice suddenly became sharp and decisive!
It must not let Obito have such a terrible fantasy! Otherwise, Eye of the Moon Plan, the plan it has planned for thousands of years to save its mother, may be completely ruined!
"Obito! Wake up!" Black Zetsu shouted sharply, "Have you forgotten that you also went to the cave to check? The clothes that were blown to pieces! The scattered flesh and blood! This is an unchangeable fact!"
"And if Rin Nohara is not dead, why is there no news at all about Konoha? Even if he is seriously injured, he should have been cured long ago."
"There is no news about her until now, so Rin Nohara must have died long ago."
"..." Obito was silent, the face under the mask had a painful and ferocious expression.
Seeing that Obito was shaken, Black Zetsu decided to add another fire, the most vicious fire that could completely burn away all his unrealistic fantasies.
Its tone suddenly became playful and cruel.
"Taking a step back, kid, even if Rin Nohara is really lucky, he will not die."
"When she knew that you, Obito Uchiha, personally planned the Nine-Tails' Attack of Konoha to kill your teacher, Minato Namikaze known as 'Yellow Flash', and your junior wife, the gentle and kind-hearted Kushina Uzumaki..."
Black Zetsu came closer to Obito, and his voice was like a devil's whisper, entering his ears word by word:
"What will she think of you?"
"!!!"
These words, like a poisonous ice pick, pierced Obito's heart!
He stood up suddenly, and the Chakra around him exploded. A violent aura swept through the entire cave, and the moss on the rock wall withered instantly.
"You... shut up!" Obito Uchiha gritted his teeth, and the Mangekyō Sharingan stared at Black Zetsu, as if he wanted to eat it alive.
Black Zetsu, however, didn't care and continued to speak in a neutral tone, "What? Did I tell you right? Do you think that Rin Nohara, who is so kind that even his enemies want to save him, will fall in love with a murderer who killed his mentor? A sinner who makes the entire Konoha fall into grief?"
"I said, shut up!"
Obito roared angrily and grabbed Black Zetsu's neck.
"That's what he deserves!!" His voice was distorted by extreme anger, "They didn't protect Lin! He didn't come when I was about to die, and he didn't come when Rin Nohara died. Why didn't he come! Why! Damn it, they all deserve to die!!"
These words are not so much a roar at Black Zetsu as he is venting his emotions.
He was looking for an excuse for his crime that would make him feel at ease.
"Haha..." Black Zetsu let out an unpleasant laugh, "Yes, they all deserve to die. So, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
It gently patted Obito's hand, signaling him to let go.
"Don't forget, we also have Eye of the Moon Plan from Lord Madara."
Black Zetsu's voice became seductive again, "As long as you complete Eye of the Moon Plan and create a world with Rin Nohara, isn't it easy? That's what you really want." True redemption. In that world, you can resurrect Rin Nohara, resurrect Minato Namikaze, resurrect Kushina, and you can make everything become what you want."
"Whether reality is right or wrong is no longer important. What matters is creating a 'correct' world."
Obito slowly let go of his hand, breathing heavily.
The furious mood was gradually calmed down by the blueprint drawn by Black Zetsu.
Right...
Eye of the Moon Plan...
Lin...
The madness in his eyes slowly faded and was replaced again by paranoid determination.
"That's right, Lin... wait for me, I will definitely resurrect you." Obito murmured to himself, as if he was making a blood oath to himself.
Black Zetsu saw that the heat was almost there and immediately brought the topic to the right track.
"Now that you have figured it out, it's time for us to recover the 'legacy' left by Lord Madara."
"Heritage?" Obito's thoughts were pulled back.
"Hmm." Black Zetsu's eyes seemed to have penetrated the thick rock formations, looking towards the distant Land of Rain direction.
"Those eyes, after being on someone else's body for so long, it's time... to return to their original owners."
Obito Uchiha's pupils narrowed slightly.
Rinnegan!
And the one named Nagato!
"I understand." He put on his mask again, and his voice returned to its former coldness and indifference.
The gentle Obito Uchiha who would cry over the death of his companions has long since died completely.
The only person standing here now is willing to do whatever it takes to create a dream world - Madara Uchiha.
