Are you sure that guy is up there?
In response to Obito's question, Black Zetsu could only summon his two small black hands, casually spread them out, and then slowly speak.
"I don't know either. After all, that guy only looks a bit like you, but his Chakra and scent are completely different. I don't know if he's even here."
"You can't even handle this small matter, what use are you?"
Black Zetsu, cursing under his breath.
You didn't say that when you asked me earlier. You were the one who asked me to lead the way. How would I know any way around? The only thing I knew was this God Tree. In the end, I couldn't find anyone, and you're blaming me.
Even the Kimimaro the Wanderer felt that Obito was being unreasonable, and where had these two brought him here?
Looking up, Kimimaro the Wanderer saw a towering tree that seemed to reach into the clouds. Its trunk was incredibly wide, and it looked as if several people would need to encircle it. Could that seemingly endless treetop be the place these two were heading to?
This idea was proven true as soon as it emerged.
"Let's go up and take a look first."
Black Zetsu had no choice but to obey Obito's suggestion unconditionally, obediently following behind Obito. However, after Obito took a few steps forward, he suddenly turned to Kimimaro the Wanderer and said:
"Hey, Xiao Lü, don't go up there. We're going to see your boss, we'll be down in a bit."
Originally, when Kimimaro the Wanderer heard Obito's words, he didn't take them seriously at all. He even wanted to wait for them to leave first and then follow them. After all, that's how he had followed them all the way. The two of them had told him more than once not to follow them, but they hadn't stopped him and had just let him continue to follow.
But when he heard that they were going to find the leader of the organization, Kimimaro the Wanderer immediately listened to the advice. Seriously, how could he not listen?
" Obito, that kid didn't follow, did he?"
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare. I'm sure you've noticed it yourself lately. In this Akatsuki, besides that Danzo the Wanderer guy, the most terrifying person is him."
"Oh, that's true."
The two hurried toward the crown of the God Tree, hoping that the Obito the Wanderer they were looking for was there. Although Obito didn't object to the Obito the Wanderer's actions, since some sacrifices were inevitable, there were still some things he wanted to ask the Obito the Wanderer about, especially about that Danzo the Wanderer guy.
After all, there were too many suspicious points about Danzo the Wanderer. It wasn't just that he had Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan. More importantly, Obito wanted to know if Danzo the Wanderer had Shisui's eye, since that was the Mangekyou Mangekyō Sharingan with the top-tier Genjutsu Kotoamatsukami.
"Constructed Genjutsu are really annoying."
It's not entirely unfair to blame Obito for being so cautious. It's like how some people don't drink easily, because they know that when they're drunk, they won't be able to control their mouths and will reveal some unspeakable things. Obito didn't want to expose his inner vulnerability.
As the two reached the summit, they indeed saw the person they wanted to see. At this moment, the Obito the Wanderer was gazing longingly at the Rin the Wanderer in the crystal, his eyes filled with an intense and unyielding yearning, seemingly unaware that Obito and Black Zetsu had already reached the top.
Following Obito the Wanderer's gaze, beneath the crystal was a face so familiar it was almost unbearable. Not only was Obito the Wanderer mesmerized, but Obito was too. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he'd seen Rin. Not counting the last time, since Rin in the Shinobi World had long since died, the only way the two could meet was through dreams.
"You've arrived?"
Just as Obito was deep in thought, Obito the Wanderer suddenly spoke, startling him. Obito looked at Obito the Wanderer with some displeasure, because Obito the Wanderer had already waved his hand, and the surrounding branches once again enveloped the crystal, making it impossible to see the familiar person inside.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Seeing Obito's somewhat annoyed face, the Obito the Wanderer chuckled.
"What I do is none of your business, is it? As for you, why are you here again? Have you finished your mission?"
Seeing this guy who looked exactly like him looking down on him so much, Obito couldn't help but get angry. He even wanted to kill this despicable guy right then and there, but the thought that this guy was just as hard to kill as himself made him feel nauseous.
Seeing that Obito remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, and then relaxing them, Obito the Wanderer assumed he was having an episode and immediately questioned Black Zetsu.
"If he won't tell, you tell him."
Obito the Wanderer, raised his chin, signaling Black Zetsu to explain why the two of them were there.
"Ahem, it's about Danzo, his eyes..."
Black Zetsu stopped there. After all, Obito the Wanderer was a smart man, and when communicating with smart people, you never need to spell things out.
Even the Obito the Wanderer hadn't expected the two of them to come here for this very question. But just thinking about that Danzo the Wanderer gave him a headache. He didn't know where that guy got those eyes from, always playing his tragic Obito drama on repeat, making him look quite pathetic many times.
"Sigh, that guy is really troublesome. His Genjutsu is so strong that sometimes even I fall for it."
"What?"
Black Zetsu and Obito both stared wide-eyed. They hadn't expected the Danzo the Wanderer to be so strong. They knew that the Obito the Wanderer before them was definitely stronger than Obito in terms of mental power; even they sometimes couldn't defeat the Danzo the Wanderer. Just how strong was the Danzo the Wanderer? Did his Genjutsu skills rely on that eye?
Seeing that Obito and Black Zetsu were silent, the Obito the Wanderer could only offer them words of comfort.
"Don't worry, he's a loyal supporter of the plan. Aside from sometimes using extreme methods, he's generally quite normal."
But what Obito next made the Obito the Wanderer somewhat unhappy.
"After you revive Lin, can you make her..."
Before Obito could finish speaking, he was forcefully interrupted by the Obito the Wanderer.
"No, no way, don't even think about it. I've already told you, she's not the Lin you remember. Why can't you understand?"
"Let's go, I'm tired, don't bother me."
The two who were kicked out looked at each other, then sighed and left.
Only after the two had retreated and gone far away did a spatial vortex appear behind Obito the Wanderer, and a white-haired man wearing a mask appeared behind him.
" Obito, don't make any more mistakes..."
Obito the Wanderer's expression was unpleasant, and his tone was unfriendly.
"If you're here to persuade me too, then you can leave."
