Black Zetsu sank half of his body, as if he was sorting something out.
"Yahiko died under the knife of Hanzō. Nagato went crazy and used Rinne Rebirth to save him. This technique requires one's life to be exchanged, and he will die after using it. So Nagato died and moved his eyes to Yahiko." Obito said
"This is the most reasonable statement at the moment."
"I thought at first that Nagato used Rinne Rebirth." Black Zetsu said these three words very quickly.
"But Rinnegan is not an ordinary eye. It is extracting Chakra from the host every second. Nagato can live to this day wearing it because he is the orphan of the Uzumaki Clan and was born with abundant Chakra."
"But who is Yahiko."
"An orphan. Born in a slum. His total Chakra is equivalent to a Jonin in the entire Land of Rain." Black Zetsu said, "With these eyes on his face, he can be turned into a mummy in less than three days."
"But he stood there today for half an hour. He also typed Shinra Tensei." Obito said solemnly
"Yes." Black Zetsu said, "So the question is--"
"What's holding these eyes for him?"
Does Yahiko also have some special physique???
Obito thought subconsciously.
"There is a second point." Black Zetsu said, "Black Rod."
"He summoned a section." Obito said, "I saw it. This means that he has connected to Demonic Statue."
"More than one verse."
Obito's whole body froze.
"After you left, I observed him carefully." Black Zetsu's voice was filled with a little pride.
"His body is covered with Black Rod, including nose rings and earrings."
"... what."
"The back of the neck, shoulder blades, spine, etc. all have Black Rod's reaction." Black Zetsu counted them one by one. "Under his Akatsuki robe, it's denser than a hedgehog."
Rain pounded on the rubble in the quarry.
Obito sat motionless.
"There is a third and most important point" Black Zetsu said,
"That body is not breathing."
Obito looked sharply at Black Zetsu.
"I listened at his feet for half an hour." Black Zetsu said word by word, "He spoke, he laughed, he raised his hands, he was angry."
"But his chest never rose and fell once from beginning to end."
"That's not a resuscitated person."
"That is a body supported by Black Rod and driven by Rinnegan--"
"Corpse."
Obito stood with his back to Black Zetsu for a long time.
"So this Yahiko is really dead, and the person who confronted me before was actually a corpse?" he said.
"In other words, Nagato actually didn't use the forbidden technique at all, but used Yahiko's body to make him a puppet!"
Obito seemed to understand everything all at once, and there was even a look of wonder in his eyes.
"Use the authority of Rinnegan to extract Black Rod from Demonic Statue, and drive the nails into Yahiko's corpse one by one. Use the power of heretics to hang the body so that it does not decay. Then send your own will along Black Rod, and let the corpse speak, walk, and laugh."
"Let Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki, continue to live in this way."
Obito turned around slowly.
"So what I talked to today is not Yahiko at all."
"That's Nagato himself."
Obito He suddenly remembered "Yahiko" what Zuo Hou said - I am unwilling to do so.
"Ha... ha... hahahaha..."
Obito burst out laughing. This time he laughed so loudly that his shoulders were shaking.
"I thought he was being mysterious."
"I didn't expect that he actually told the truth."
"Nagato He was not willing to Yahiko die like this the night before Land of Rain turned over. Hanzo of the Salamander died, under the pressure The mountain that had been above them for decades collapsed, but Yahiko didn't see it. Nagato couldn't swallow this breath, and he felt worthless for Yahiko."
"Also, in that battle, Akatsuki's vitality was severely damaged. How many people are left now? Three thousand? Five thousand? There are also the defeated soldiers left behind by Hanzō, as well as the fleeing villagers and those who are willing to eat a bite of porridge with Xiao."
"These people are actually following the leader Yahiko."
"Once Hanzo of the Salamander dies, Land of Rain is an empty plate. If at this time 'the leader of Akatsuki also dies'--"
"Then Xiao's organization will be in chaos that day."
"After the chaos, Five Great Nations's claws came in, and Land of Rain once again turned into a muddy ground where the Three Kingdoms were fighting. The victory that Yahiko and Nagato had sacrificed their lives for was reduced to zero overnight."
"Nagato must have figured this out, so he must keep Yahiko alive."
"Everyone in Land of Rain must see that the leader of Akatsuki is still alive."
"He's not saving a friend."
"He is using a corpse to support a country."
Obito previously thought that the person standing opposite him today was a leader Akatsuki who suddenly became stronger.
It turns out that the person standing opposite is still the same person.
A person who keeps himself in the dark, puts his dead brother in front of the stage, and doesn't even dare to reveal his own name.
"Where is he now?" Obito asked.
"It's definitely not far away." Black Zetsu said with certainty, "It's too far to control a puppet filled with Black Rod. It can't be within thirty miles at most."
"He must have been working on this puppet during the time he disappeared." Black Zetsu said
Obito was silent for a long time, then he raised his hand and slowly took off the mask.
The half-ruined face turned white in the rain. He didn't look at Black Zetsu, he looked east - in the direction of Amegakure.
"Black Zetsu."
"Hmm."
"Let's not take his eyes for now."
Black Zetsu's whole body stiffened, but he didn't say anything.
"At least not now." Obito put the mask back on his face, his tone changed, became gentle, even a little brisk, "Just think about such a person."
"His brother is dead. He made his brother a puppet. He hid himself and relied on a pair of eyes to drain him to keep a smiling face for an entire country."
"What does he need most right now?"
"Someone told him that this can never happen again." The rain fell on Obito.
"The peace he wants, I will give it to him."
"I will give him the power he wants."
"What he wants is 'a world where we no longer have to turn our brothers into puppets'--"
"I can give it to him too."
"As long as I am 'Madara Uchiha', I will give him a hand on the day when he can't hold on any longer."
"When the time comes, he will come over on his own."
"Then he will collect Tailed Beast for us."
Obito laughed, and his laughter bounced twice on the stone walls of the quarry.
"He thought he rejected me today."
"But in fact, he showed me his trump cards one by one."
"Next time, he will definitely not reject me again!!!" Obito laughed and stretched his hand forward, making a fist-clenching gesture.
"Then how do you explain Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?" Black Zetsu interrupted Obito's self-performance at an inappropriate time,
Obito's laughter suddenly stopped.
Black Zetsu said these words very softly. But there were only two of them in the quarry, so these words bounced around the stone wall and came back to Obito's ears.
"Demonic Statue of the Outer Path." Black Zetsu was like an actor who didn't know how to cooperate. He didn't even notice the smile that suddenly froze on Obito's face, and continued, "Land of Waterfalls. That mountain, cave, track, mine car. How can there be that endless stream of White Zetsu."
"Nagato must be using Demonic Statue." Obito's tone was a little impatient, "You have also seen that he can summon Black Rod. He must be connected to Demonic Statue. Since he can connect to it, then the White Zetsu that has been taken away in the past few years was taken by him..."
Obito Uchiha's voice became lower and lower, because he didn't even believe this statement himself.
But at this time, the boys Obito and Black Zetsu were both thinking about the same face.
The guy whose eyes move first when he smiles, who pauses for half a second before speaking, and who smashed half of his body in that cave.
"Except for Nagato, no one else should be able to use Demonic Statue." Obito's voice was trembling.
"So now there are only two possibilities." Black Zetsu said, "One, Nagato is in use. Then we only need to get Rinnegan back, and everything will remain as usual."
"Second, another person is using it. And he didn't need Rinnegan, so he touched the door of Demonic Statue."
"The second one, can you accept it?"
Obito stood in the rain without saying a word.
The first type is that he can accept it. Nagato is his chess piece, and the chess piece is managing the warehouse for him, so it is not lost.
The second one was something he couldn't accept, which was why he was eager to find Nagato.
"Let's go back to Kirigakure." After a long time, Obito finally spoke.
"Kirigakure?" Black Zetsu asked doubtfully.
"Let's find out who is behind this person Kirisame Ryo."
"A person who emerged from a file like Kirigakure Ninja Academy. He was blank for twenty years. He climbed up to the High Tower Operations Department. He wiped out the entire village in one day. Genji, who has been dead for many years, cannot set up such a situation. There must be someone behind it."
"And the so-called 'Twins Organization'."
"As long as we find out who is behind them, we will know who is behind all this."
