"Calm down, Obito!" Black Zetsu's voice echoed throughout the different space, pretending to be extremely innocent, "This... this must be Konoha's trick! It's the enemy's trap!"
"Trap?!" Obito sneered, the murderous intent in his eyes not fading even a bit.
"Think about it! Konoha even held a memorial service back then, and her name was clearly engraved on Memorial Stone!" Black Zetsu argued loudly, "And if Rin Nohara was not dead, why didn't he return to Konoha for so many years? Why did he become Kirigakure again?!"
Obito's movements were slightly delayed.
Black Zetsu keenly caught this trace of hesitation and immediately threw out a series of words like pouring beans:
"This is completely unreasonable! Either, that is a woman who just looks like Rin Nohara! Or... someone did something under everyone's eyes and replaced the real Rin Nohara!"
"No matter which way it is, Lord Madara will never lie to you! I will never lie to you! Think about it, Lord Madara has been in that underground cave for so long, what good will it do him to lie to you?!"
Black Zetsu's words were tearful and logical, placing a huge blame directly on the "unknown third party force".
Obito stood on a pile of rubble with lava flowing across it, his chest heaving violently.
After his extreme rage, his brain began to be reoccupied by cruel reason.
Look alike?
No, it's impossible. The surprise after being called by his name cannot be fooled by his looks.
But Black Zetsu is right.
If it was really Madara Uchiha who planned all of this back then, then he would never let Lin live? Lin being alive would not be of any benefit to Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan, and could even be said to be the biggest stumbling block.
That being said, that's...
Someone had a hand in that deadly situation back then.
Under the nose of Kirigakure, someone unknowingly rescued Lin, faked her death, suppressed Three-Tails in her body, and even pushed her to the top position of Kirigakure more than ten years later!
"But who could that be..."
Obito lowered his head and let the blood from his forehead drip onto the marble floor.
"Who on earth has such ability..."
Able to see through the layout of Kirigakure.
Able to suppress the violent Three-Tails.
Even able to hide it from Konoha.
Black Zetsu leaned out half of the ground, looked at Obito's uncertain expression, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the alarm bell in his heart was ringing loudly.
Even if Obito temporarily believes its words, one thing is irreversible!!!
That is the existence of Rin Nohara, which has completely shaken Obito's determination to promote the Eye of the Moon.
A chess piece with worries cannot become a god who destroys the world.
Moreover, Rin Nohara is Jinchūriki of Three-Tails, and Eye of the Moon Plan is to extract all Tailed Beast.
Obito also thought of this layer at this time. Their Eye of the Moon Plan extracted all Tailed Beast to resurrect Ten-Tails.
But now Lin is Three-Tails Jinchūriki. If she continues to implement the plan, she will have to stand on the opposite side of Lin and even "kill" Lin again.
How could he do it!!!
But if the plan is not carried out...
"Obito..." Black Zetsu spoke cautiously, "Land of Rain over there, Nagato has already started..."
"Get lost."
Obito didn't even look back, just uttered one word coldly.
"What?"
"I tell you to get lost." Obito's voice was as low as the stagnant water in the depths of hell, "Don't appear in front of me until I figure it out."
Black Zetsu's one eye flickered, but it no longer stimulated the lunatic who was on the verge of collapse. His body sank and completely merged into the ground.
In the dead world, only Obito is left alone.
He slowly sat down on the ground, leaning against the broken stone pillar.
He took out the bloody Forehead Protector fragment from his arms. It was something he had worn a long time ago when he was the tail end of a Konoha crane.
"Lin..."
Obito put the fragment against his chest and closed his eyes.
Two lines of clear tears finally slipped silently down his broken cheeks.
Public Security Department Building, Minister's Office.
"Tuk-tuk-tuk."
Three very regular taps.
Senju Chen raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly, "Come in."
The door was pushed open a crack, and a member of the Public Security Department flashed in, his movements clean and neat, not picking up any dust.
The visitor knelt down on one knee and presented a scroll that was completely black and sealed with a special Sealing Jutsu wax in both hands.
"Minister, urgent message."
Senju Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Senju Chen took the scroll, and with an imperceptible touch of Chakra on his fingertips, he accurately destroyed the self-destruction ban at the core of the scroll.
The sealing wax melts and the scroll unrolls.
What strikes the eye is not the unrestrained and wild cursive style of Mei Terumi, but an extremely neat and graceful font that even has a bit of deliberately suppressed force at the edge of the handwriting.
It's the word Rin Nohara.
Senju Chen glanced down the scroll.
[Unknown attackers encountered the seawall outside the old fishing village on the North Shore.]
[Features: Black robe, single-eyed orange spiral mask.]
[Mastering the unknown Space-Time Ninjutsu, the body can freely switch between solid and virtual, holding Mangekyō Sharingan, Genjutsu has extremely high abilities...]
Seeing this, Senju Chen's expression was quite calm.
Obito went to Land of Water to investigate the details of Kirisame Ryo, which was expected by him. After all, he had uprooted the "back garden" that Obito had been running for more than ten years under the name of Mizukage some time ago. If he could swallow this breath, then he would no longer be Obito Uchiha.
However, when Senju Chen's eyes fell on the last few lines--
[At the end of the battle, due to the outbreak of Tailed Beast Chakra, subordinate Transformation Technique was destroyed and his true appearance was revealed.]
[The opponent Space-Time Ninjutsu stopped suddenly, and after the mask shattered, he called his subordinate by his old name 'Lin'.]
[Attached evidence: a fragment of the mask that was broken during the battle.]
"Pfft."
Senju Chen just took a sip of warm tea in his mouth and almost spit it out.
He sat upright suddenly, pulled the scroll in front of his eyes, and read it again carefully, word for word.
"Call him by his first name?"
"Discovered???"
Senju Chen froze on the wooden couch for five seconds.
Then, his shoulders began to shake uncontrollably.
"Pfft... hahahaha!"
A laugh that was extremely cheerful and full of bad taste echoed in the quiet room.
The Public Security Department guard who was kneeling at his head froze, and his eyes were full of confusion. In his understanding, his minister had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, and even if he was strategizing and playing with all the major forces, he would only smile gently. How had he ever smiled so... down-to-earth?
"Ahem, it's okay. You can go down first."
