Chapter 294: The Death of Uchiha Obito
Pfft!
A hand pierced through the spiraling distorted space ahead, vanishing as it passed, and Uchiha Obito's chest suddenly bore a hand-width wound.
Blood spattered everywhere.
A look of desolation and unwillingness flashed in Obito's eyes as he collapsed to his knees.
Before he could take his last breath, Hagoromo Gengetsu first sealed the chakra within Obito's body to prevent another self-immolation attempt.
Then, grabbing Obito's head, he continued to extract mories from his brain, soon finding the coordinates of the Two-Tails Jinchūriki.
"It's over."
Releasing his grip, Hagoromo Gengetsu looked indifferently at the dying Obito.
He had no interest in persuading him to see the light or turn over a new leaf.
So.
With a flick of his fingers, a sharp wind blade shot towards Obito's forehead, slicing through and exiting the back of his head.
Obito's eyes dimd as his head snapped back.
"Rin..."
He uttered her na one last ti before collapsing completely, lifeless.
The mastermind who had stirred the shinobi world for over a decade was now dead.
"A troubleso fly has finally been dealt with. As for the other one..."
Hagoromo Gengetsu scanned the area, unsurprised that Black Zetsu was nowhere to be found.
After returning from the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, Black Zetsu had not been seen with Obito, clearly abandoning him as a pawn.
So, would Black Zetsu now place all his bets on himself, or would he try to bring out the other loyal executor, Uchiha Madara?
After a mont of contemplation, Hagoromo Gengetsu chuckled and shook his head.
"Perhaps... it's ti to et an old friend."
Black Zetsu, with his deep paranoia, would never place all his hopes on one person, especially soone he couldn't fully control.
In the original story, despite Obito's many accomplishnts, Black Zetsu still secretly sent Madara's body to Kabuto, using him to resurrect Madara with the Reanimation, adding another layer of security to his plan.
Naturally, no matter how much he did, Hagoromo Gengetsu would never fully gain Black Zetsu's trust.
In that case, let them co.
Hagoromo Gengetsu's expression remained calm.
With the experience of becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, he now had a clearer understanding of the Ten-Tails and the Six Paths level, making his plan to ascend to the Six Paths level more likely to succeed.
Neither Black Zetsu nor Madara could stop him now.
It was too late for that.
Just as he had said when he first arrived at the Chunin Exam venue, witnessing Sarutobi Hiruzen's fall and Orochimaru's hands being sealed.
"This era now belongs to ."
Hagoromo Gengetsu calmly declared.
Looking at Obito's corpse, he activated Kamui, twisting the space to send the body into the Kamui dinsion.
Then, after moving the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to another secret base and assigning the Akatsuki mbers to guard it, he set off towards the Two-Tails Jinchūriki's location.
After Hagoromo Gengetsu had been gone for so ti, Black Zetsu slowly rose from the ground where Obito had died.
Seeing the empty area, only marked by a few traces of Obito's presence, Black Zetsu sighed softly.
"I quite liked you, Obito. But everyone has their use. Madara was one, and so were you. Those without value have no reason to exist. Rest in peace, your dream... I will fulfill it."
Though only briefly.
Black Zetsu "mourned" his fallen comrade and successor before looking towards Konoha and preparing to act.
From the information he had, Konoha and the other great villages were fully supporting Orochimaru. Samples of strong DNA from various historical figures were being sent to him, forming an unprecedented army of Reanimation.
This presented an opportunity for him.
As Hagoromo Gengetsu had predicted, Black Zetsu never fully trusted anyone but his mother.
Seeing the state of the Limited Tsukuyomi world and realizing that the "Hagoromo Gengetsu" of that world had known a lot about the Ten-Tails and the Demonic Statue early on, Black Zetsu's suspicions had grown.
Even though the success rate of Hagoromo Gengetsu's plan to beco the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki and cast Infinite Tsukuyomi was far higher than if Obito had led, he still needed a backup plan.
"Lord Madara, I hope you won't be too shocked when you return to this world."
Black Zetsu shrugged and headed quickly to Konoha.
As for the Two-Tails Jinchūriki.
Also knowing the location, he decided not to stop Hagoromo Gengetsu from capturing it.
After all, the nine Tailed Beasts had to be collected.
The allure of becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki was too great, and whether it was Hagoromo Gengetsu or Madara, soone would inevitably pursue it.
That was his chance.
So...
"Mother, please wait a little longer. Soon, you will once again descend and beco the ruler of this world!"
Hagoromo Gengetsu's capture of the Two-Tails Jinchūriki went smoothly.
The latter was imprisoned on the outskirts of the Land of Fire in a secret base left by Madara.
When he arrived, the Two-Tails Jinchūriki was still unconscious.
Grabbing the Jinchūriki, Hagoromo Gengetsu was about to leave when a ssage ca through his Zero Ring.
"Reanimation?"
Surprise flashed across Hagoromo Gengetsu's face.
He had spies in Konoha.
With the increasing number of Reanimation and the urgency of ti, Konoha had no energy to hide it, and the spy quickly relayed the information about the Reanimation to Hagoromo Gengetsu.
"Konoha is summoning an Reanimation army, led by Orochimaru?"
Seeing the na, Hagoromo Gengetsu showed an expression of both surprise and inevitability.
He sighed softly.
"Is he that hard to kill?"
For safety, after killing Orochimaru's main body, he also dealt with Kabuto, who inherited everything from Orochimaru, and even wiped out the fragnt of Orochimaru's soul in Anko Mitarashi.
Despite all this.
Orochimaru still managed to co back to life.
Hagoromo Gengetsu could only marvel at Orochimaru's incredible survival skills.
At the sa ti, his face grew more serious.
