Outside the Land of Iron stadium, the wind and snow continued to rage.
Obito formally declared war on the Five Kage, announcing the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War.
He carried the heavily injured and unconscious Sasuke in one hand, his figure weaving through the wind and snow, preparing to return to the Akatsuki's secret base.
Suddenly, the snow-covered ground ahead began to ripple.
A clump of black and white slime burst from the ground and coalesced into the shape of Black Zetsu.
" Obito, you've made a move too hastily."
Black Zetsu's hoarse, shrill voice rang out in the wind and snow.
Obito stopped in his tracks, his single eye beneath the mask staring coldly at him.
" The Five Great Shinobi Villages are unwilling to hand over their Jinchūriki; war is only a matter of time."
Black Zetsu chuckled sinisterly twice.
I don't object to war.
"But have you forgotten about that monster Uchiha Xin?"
Upon hearing this name, Obito's body stiffened abruptly.
The expression on his face beneath the mask instantly turned incredibly ugly.
The man's mere presence exuded an irresistible sense of oppression.
His prized Wood Release was instantly crushed.
The invincible Kamui's Kamui Intangibility was forcibly shattered.
Obito felt a pang of fear in his heart.
He knew very well that his pride and joy were nothing compared to Uchiha Xin.
Black Zetsu keenly sensed Obito's emotional shift.
" Uchiha Xin's strength far exceeds our imagination."
"With your current combat strength, you are simply no match for him."
You must retrieve your other Sharingan.
Obito fell silent.
The other Sharingan.
The left eye that he personally gave to Kakashi as a gift for his promotion to Jonin.
Once he gathers Both-Eyes Kamui, his pupil power will undergo a qualitative leap.
The speed of spatial transfer will increase exponentially, and it may even be Susanoo.
Only then would he have the confidence to face that monster Uchiha Xin.
But.
Obito's eyes struggled.
He always felt guilty towards Kakashi.
Although he hated Kakashi for not keeping his promise when Rin died, deep down he knew it was an irreversible tragedy.
He couldn't bring himself to gouge out Kakashi's eyes.
I'm not going.
Obito coldly refused.
Black Zetsu had anticipated that he would say that.
If you can't do it, I can do it for you.
"I have already planted White Zetsu spores in him."
"As long as you nod, that eye can return to you at any time."
Obito a deep breath.
He knew Black Zetsu was right.
Without the dual Kamui, he simply couldn't advance the Eye of the Moon Plan.
"Go ahead."
Obito turned away, no longer looking at Black Zetsu.
"Come find me after you get your eyes."
"I'm going to see Kabuto Yakushi; that guy has something we need."
Black Zetsu nodded in satisfaction, his body instantly transforming into a pool of black water before disappearing into the ground.
at this time.
The sun shines brightly in Konoha.
Kakashi was leisurely lying on the sofa at home.
He held a brand-new copy of " Icha Icha Paradise " in his hands, reading it with great interest.
Occasionally, he would let out a lewd chuckle.
He was completely unaware that a deadly crisis was quietly approaching.
Just as he was about to turn the page...
A strange, wriggling sensation suddenly came from his shoulder.
What is that?
Kakashi frowned, about to reach out and touch it.
puff!
A clump of white spores burst out of his clothes without warning from his shoulder!
This mass of matter grew rapidly upon exposure to the wind, expanding in the blink of an eye into a large, sticky, white mass of tentacles.
These tentacles, like venomous snakes, tightly coiled around Kakashi's limbs and torso.
"Ugh!"
Kakashi was horrified.
He tried to mobilize his Chakra to break free of the restraints.
But to his horror, he discovered that his Chakra was being drained away by these white substances like a flood breaking through a dam!
Just one second.
Kakashi was completely unable to resist.
He was firmly pinned to the sofa, unable to move even a finger.
The wooden planks on the ground twisted and warped.
Black Zetsu's half-black, half-white figure slowly emerged.
" Kakashi, it's been a long time."
Black Zetsu stepped forward with a sinister smile.
Kakashi glared angrily at the monster before him with his single eye.
" Akatsuki... what do you want?!"
Black Zetsu ignored his question.
He was wary that Uchiha Xin's Shadow Clone still remained in Konoha.
We must act swiftly and decisively.
Black Zetsu extended his withered fingers and ripped off the Forehead Protector covering Kakashi's left eye.
The crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan was exposed to the air.
You don't deserve to have that eye.
Black Zetsu showed no mercy, digging two fingers deep into Kakashi's eye sockets!
"Ah!"
Kakashi let out a piercing scream.
Blood streamed down his cheek.
Black Zetsu forcefully gouged out the Sharingan and carefully put it away.
Seeing Kakashi convulsing in pain, he was filled with murderous intent.
Just as he was preparing to strike and silence them completely.
Black Zetsu suddenly stopped moving.
He keenly sensed that an extremely powerful Chakra was rapidly approaching!
" Uchiha Xin's Shadow Clone!"
Black Zetsu was startled.
He dared not linger for even a moment and immediately abandoned the idea of killing Kakashi.
His body instantly merged with the ground, and he made his escape.
Bang!
The door to Kakashi's house was kicked open by a tremendous force.
Uchiha Xin's Shadow Clone rushed into the house.
He sensed the intense fluctuations in Kakashi's aura and rushed to his aid immediately.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The Shadow Clone looked at Kakashi, whose face was covered in blood and who was unconscious, and sighed helplessly.
"That Nezumi, Black Zetsu, is pretty fast."
He knew that Black Zetsu's Wood Release allowed him to move extremely fast.
With just one Shadow Clone's fighting power, it's impossible to catch up.
The Shadow Clone stepped forward and ripped the White Zetsu spores off Kakashi's body.
He carried the unconscious Kakashi and rushed to Konoha Hospital.
at the same time.
On the snowy plains bordering the Land of Iron.
With his hands in his pockets, Uchiha Xin appeared out of thin air next to Tsunade and Shizune.
Tsunade breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that he was safe and sound.
"What's the situation inside?"
Tsunade asked anxiously.
" Obito has declared war on the Five Great Nations; the Fourth Shinobi World War has begun."
Uchiha Xin spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
Tsunade's expression changed drastically.
She knew the situation was urgent and that not a moment could be wasted.
"Return to Konoha immediately!"
Tsunade immediately gave the order.
Uchiha Xin nodded.
He placed his hands on Tsunade and Shizune's shoulders.
Flying Thunder God Technique activated.
Swish!
The three of them instantly traversed a vast distance and returned to the Hokage's office.
As soon as it landed.
Uchiha Xin frowned.
He received the memories transmitted by the Shadow Clone.
Kakashi is attacked and his Sharingan is stolen!
"What's wrong?"
Tsunade noticed Uchiha Xin's unusual behavior.
Uchiha Xin didn't hide anything and recounted how Kakashi's eye was stolen.
Tsunade was filled with doubt.
Why did the Akatsuki steal Kakashi's Sharingan?
"That's just an ordinary Mangekyō, what use is it to them?"
