As the view zooms in, you can clearly see a person stumbling forward. Each step he takes is extremely unsteady, as if he might fall at any moment. One of his sleeves is empty, his arm having been blown off long ago. His clothes are tattered, and his mask is torn in several places, making him look extremely disheveled.
There was a dark shadow following behind him; could it be his pet?
The shadow would occasionally leap up and help the man who was about to fall.
That's right, these two are none other than Obito and Black Zetsu, who managed to escape that day.
Obito could feel how tired he was, but he dared not stop, fearing that Naruto would catch up and take his life. Obito himself didn't realize how terrified he was.
However, Naruto had no intention of chasing after them at all, Obito, this pawn who hadn't yet completed his mission, was completely impossible to kill.
Naruto was also thinking about how to save those who had been Torune the Wanderer Insects. Apart from extensive wound cleaning, Naruto couldn't think of any other way. How could Naruto possibly cultivate something like those Kikaichū?
In the Demon Tribe, Naruto was covered in sweat, his scalpel nervously cutting into the samurai's infected and purple body tissue.
The scalpel gleamed with a cold light, but in Naruto's hands, it moved with effortless speed and elegance, as dark red blood slid down the tip of the blade.
Tick-tock!
Obito wiped the sweat from his forehead with his only remaining arm. His lips were cracked, and his throat was parched. He had been running for so long without food or water, and he was exhausted, almost at his limit.
Finally, Obito couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Fortunately, Black Zetsu noticed Obito's commotion and caught him just as he was about to slam his face into the ground.
"Hey, Obito, are you alright?"
Black Zetsu forcefully flipped Obito over and slowly approached him. Feeling the abnormal body temperature on Obito's body, Black Zetsu knew that this guy had a fever.
"Hiss, Obito, this is getting a bit troublesome."
Black Zetsu imagined that the once invincible Obito would end up in such a miserable state, lying on the ground like a stray dog.
Obito stared blankly at the sky, at the clouds that were everywhere, and even at the birds that flew by.
He was so tired; every cell in his body seemed to be screaming in agony. His eyelids felt like they were filled with lead, incredibly heavy.
"Hey, Obito, don't fall asleep!"
Black Zetsu swiftly reached Obito's chest, saw Obito's eyes about to close, and without a word, unleashed a powerful punch.
"Hey, Obito, wake up! Don't sleep!"
"Smack!"
"Don't sleep!"
"Smack!"
"Don't sleep, you bastard!"
Seeing Obito like this, Black Zetsu was utterly devastated. He never expected that this kid, who had held on for so long, would end up like this.
Just as Black Zetsu resigned himself to his fate, a pair of blood-stained hands landed on his head.
Don't worry, I'm not going to die.
Obito's voice, as sharp as a broken gong, came from his parched throat, instantly rousing Black Zetsu, whose eyes had become dull.
"Great, Obito, you absolutely can't fall asleep."
Seeing that Obito was still alive, Black Zetsu kept searching for food that could provide Obito with energy, but there was nothing around except for the dry, cracked Kitsuchi, not even a drop of saliva.
" Obito, wait here, I'll go get you some water."
After saying this, Black Zetsu plunged into the ground without waiting for Obito's reply. He refused to believe that there couldn't be any water underground.
Soon, Black Zetsu reappeared, several large bulges swollen on his body, swaying constantly with his movements.
"Quick, Obito, the water's coming!"
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off, and Black Zetsu actually found water.
Black bubbles burst in Obito's mouth, and the moist steam instantly filled his throat, relieving his Obito throat that had become cracked from not drinking for so long.
Glug, glug.
After feeding him several large blisters, Obito finally regained some energy.
Don't worry, I'm not going to die.
Obito made another promise to Black Zetsu, but this time, Black Zetsu didn't respond. Instead, he manipulated his body to pull Obito to a slightly shady spot.
Seeing that Obito's condition had improved slightly, Black Zetsu relaxed a little. Just now, he had suspected that if he hadn't found water, the kid would have really died.
Seeing Obito slowly drift off to sleep once again, Black Zetsu didn't stop him. He was tired, so let him rest for a while.
Black Zetsu naturally took on the role of sentry, keeping watch over the surroundings, and no movement could escape his perception.
Just as Black Zetsu was being vigilant about his surroundings, he sensed something tearing at the space in front of him; someone was trying to get out.
Black Zetsu's alarm bells rang loudly. He originally wanted to wake up Obito, but when he thought of Obito's already exhausted body and mind, he realized that Obito had long since fallen into a deep coma and was completely unable to wake up.
Cold sweat poured down Black Zetsu's forehead as he stared intently at the space before him, his round eyes fixed on the room.
There, a ring of black spatial rifts appeared, revealing a figure whose presence caused Black Zetsu pupils to tremble.
The man was wearing a mask that covered his mouth and nose, but what was most striking was his silver-white hair, which was incredibly glaring in Black Zetsu's eyes.
"Who is this person...?"
Before Black Zetsu could make a move, the person who summoned the spatial Uzumaki had already noticed Obito, who had already fallen into a coma. He frowned almost imperceptibly, then appeared in front of Obito, reaching out his hand to check his breathing.
Black Zetsu didn't recognize this person at all, and he bared his teeth and hissed, all in one smooth motion.
But what awaited him was a merciless slap, which sent Black Zetsu flying off Obito.
Black Zetsu:??? Who am I? Where am I?
Before Black Zetsu could even exhale again, the man had already led Obito into the spatial Uzumaki and left.
"Damn it, wait a minute, I haven't gotten on the bus yet!"
Black Zetsu was on the verge of tears; what was going on?
Not only was Obito taken away, but he was also abandoned in this desolate wilderness. What was he supposed to do?
I need help urgently.
As for the white-haired, masked man who just appeared, he was naturally Kakashi the Wanderer from this world. He originally wanted to come out and check the situation, but he didn't expect to encounter Obito, who was seriously injured and unconscious. Thinking that this guy had once appeared with the Obito the Wanderer, the Kakashi the Wanderer couldn't help but feel pity.
As for why he sent Black Zetsu flying but didn't take him with him?
It turns out they mistook Black Zetsu for Obito's pet. This tiny pet dared to hiss at them, so they slapped it away.
