Time flies, and two months have passed since Naruto and Sasuke joined the Akatsuki. During this time, the two newcomers have become very close with the other members of the Akatsuki. However, this is obviously not what Nagato wanted to see, because Naruto's presence has delayed their plan to capture the Tailed Beast.
The main reason was that he was wary of Naruto's strength. If he could beat him, he would have flipped the table long ago. During this time, he also looked for the guy who called himself Madara Uchiha, but the guy casually told him, "You are the leader of the organization. Don't ask me about everything." Then he disappeared. No matter how hard Nagato searched, he could not find him. Even Black Zetsu and White Zetsu had disappeared.
This gave Nagato a huge headache. He was still thinking about bringing peace to the world and saving them from their suffering. As for the suffering, he didn't care. But now all his plans had to be put on hold because of Naruto's presence.
He couldn't very well announce the capture of other Jinchūriki in front of one of Jinchūriki, could he? After all, Naruto had said when he came that with him around, Naruto wouldn't allow the plan to capture the Tailed Beast to proceed.
Sigh~
Nagato felt an immense headache coming on. What should he do? He needed to find a way to get Naruto and Sasuke out of there so they could carry out their plan to capture the Tailed Beast.
Konan, who was standing nearby, noticed that Nagato wasn't in a good mood and offered words of comfort.
"Are you alright, Nagato? You don't look too good."
Nagato simply waved to Konan, indicating that he was alright. He felt he had to do something; otherwise, if the plan kept getting delayed, would it even continue? Would his dream still be unattainable?
His thoughts were becoming somewhat chaotic, but Nagato finally made a decision. He was no match for Naruto, and he couldn't handle this huge problem himself, so he'd just pass it on to that guy. Didn't he like to hide?
At this moment, Obito was unaware that he was being targeted again. Even if he knew, he was not afraid, because he had already arrived in front of a magnificent palace. Led by Black Zetsu, Obito entered the palace. He never expected that such a being would exist in the Shinobi World.
"Hey, Black Zetsu, where is this?"
Black Zetsu didn't speak, but carefully sensed the Chakra here. It felt very familiar to him, very much like his mother's, but he could clearly distinguish that it was definitely not his mother's Chakra. It must belong to the Ōtsutsuki Clan. In fact, Black Zetsu Chakra n't want to come here. After all, if he accidentally provoked other Ōtsutsuki, his plan to revive his mother would be completely ruined.
However, they have now reached a point of no escape. No one in the Shinobi World can defeat Naruto anymore; he is too strong, strangely so. Therefore, they can only rely on the power of the Ōtsutsuki.
Just as Black Zetsu made up his mind to check if there were any items around that could summon the Ōtsutsuki Clan, Obito suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Holy crap?"
Upon hearing the sound of Obito being hit, Black Zetsu quickly turned around, all the while muttering to himself about how clumsy Obito.
" Obito, I just told you, don't touch anything here, it's dangerous."
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, because Obito's entire body was inside a strange portal of light, and he was waving his exposed arms. Seeing Obito struggling like this, Black Zetsu quickly stepped forward, grabbed Obito's legs, and tried to pull him out. He couldn't let his top worker die like this, and at the same time, he didn't let Obito.
" Obito, are you a big idiot? Who told you to touch these things?"
As Black Zetsu spoke, he tried to pull Obito out of the light gate, but even using Black Zetsu Wood Release, he couldn't budge him. Behind that strange light gate, it seemed as if something dangerous was holding onto Obito Obito, unwilling to let him go.
This sudden turn of events made Black Zetsu's heart sink, and his hands involuntarily loosened their grip. He was already prepared to abandon Obito, after all, just from the pulling sensation coming from Obito, Black Zetsu could foresee what kind of danger lay beyond the gate of light.
As Black Zetsu released his grip, Obito was easily sucked into the portal of light. The portal, which had been glowing moments before, slowly dimmed, allowing Black Zetsu to finally see the situation clearly.
The strange portal of light had long since vanished, leaving only a mess behind. Thinking of this, Black Zetsu felt a chill of fear. Luckily, he had let go quickly, otherwise he would have Obito like that unlucky kid Obito.
"Damn idiot Obito, can't you be a little smarter? Damn it, you're going to find new pawns again, damn it, Obito."
Just as Black Zetsu was cursing, the light gate that had completely disappeared reappeared, this time with a much stronger light than before.
Black Zetsu realized something was wrong and scrambled away, even activating his Mayfly Technique. But at that moment, the gate shone brightly, unleashing an incredibly powerful attraction that abruptly stopped Black Zetsu's already considerable distance-running body. Then came an incomparably terrifying attraction and an uncontrollable feeling of being suspended in mid-air.
By the time Black Zetsu realized what was happening, it was too late. He too was pulled into the strange portal of light, following in Obito's footsteps.
Meanwhile, Nagato was completely unaware of the situation. The Six Paths of Pain were still searching for Obito, but after several days of searching, they still couldn't find Obito. Finally, they managed to spot a White Zetsu.
The Deva Path Dao captured him and questioned him about Obito's whereabouts, but White Zetsu had also been searching for Obito these past few days. Moreover, not only was Obito missing, but even Black Zetsu had disappeared.
When Nagato heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but his emotions quickly changed from shock to anger.
"Fine, fine, you actually teamed up with Black and White Zetsu to try and fool me? You think I'd fall for it? Heh, you really underestimate me. Since you're not coming out, I'm not going to care about your plans anymore."
That's right. After searching for Obito for so long, Nagato completely gave up. He didn't expect that Obito would actually send White Zetsu and Black Zetsu to deceive him in order to avoid him. Since you are so heartless, then don't blame me for giving up.
What to do? Just let whoever wants to do this task do it.
