[Next Week Event For: Warhamr: Starting as a Planetary Governor!!] [200 PS = 1 Extra Chapter!!]
Splurt!
A hand pierced through the spiraling distorted space ahead, erging briefly before vanishing again. Just beyond, Obito's chest was suddenly torn open by a palm-sized hole.
Blood splattered.
Obito's eyes reflected a mix of despair and unwillingness as his knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.
While he still clung to life, Gensou acted swiftly. First, he sealed Obito's chakra, preventing another self-immolation attempt like before.
Then, grabbing Obito's head, Gensou resud delving into his mories. Before long, he uncovered the coordinates of the Two-Tails' Jinchūriki.
"It's over."
Releasing his grip, Gensou gazed dispassionately at the dying Obito.
He had no interest in using rhetoric to sway Obito into so last-minute redemption.
Instead—
Gensou flicked his finger, sending a razor-sharp wind blade slicing through Obito's forehead. His head jerked back as the blade exited through the back of his skull.
Obito's eyes dimd instantly, his final word escaping in a whisper:
"Rin…"
With a dull thud, his lifeless body crumpled to the ground, utterly silent.
Thus, the mastermind who had stirred the ninja world into chaos for over a decade t his end.
"At last, one troubleso fly has been dealt with. As for the other one…"
Gensou scanned his surroundings, unsurprised to find no trace of Black Zetsu, the ever-crafty survivor.
Since returning from the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, Black Zetsu had been absent from Obito's side, clearly abandoning his once-reliable pawn.
The question remained whether Zetsu planned to throw all his chips behind Gensou or revive another executor—Madara.
Pondering this briefly, Gensou chuckled softly and shook his head.
"Perhaps it's ti to et an old friend."
Black Zetsu, with his deep-seated paranoia, would never place all his hopes on a single individual, especially one he couldn't fully control.
In the original tiline, even after Obito's extensive efforts, Black Zetsu secretly delivered Madara's corpse to Kabuto, ensuring a fallback plan by arranging for Madara's resurrection through Edo Tensei.
Naturally, no matter how much Gensou achieved, he would never earn Black Zetsu's complete trust.
"Well, let him co. I'll deal with it as it cos," Gensou said calmly.
Having experienced the ascension to Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails in the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, Gensou now had a clearer understanding of the Ten-Tails and the Six Paths level. His plans for achieving true ascension were closer to fruition, and neither Black Zetsu nor Madara could stop him.
It was already too late for anyone to intervene.
Just as he had stated after arriving at the Chūnin Exams, watching Hiruzen fall and Orochimaru's hands being sealed:
"This era belongs to ."
Gensou spoke with unshakable conviction as he looked at Obito's corpse. Activating Kamui in his left eye, he sent the body spiraling into the Kamui dinsion.
Afterward, he relocated the Gedo Statue to a hidden base, assigning mbers of the Akatsuki to guard it. Without pause, he set out for the location of the Two-Tails' Jinchūriki.
Long after Gensou's departure, Black Zetsu erged slowly from the ground where Obito had fallen.
Surveying the empty scene, with only faint traces of Obito's presence left behind, Zetsu sighed softly.
"You know, I actually liked you, Obito. But everyone has their value. Madara had his, and so did you. When soone loses their usefulness, they no longer need to exist. Rest in peace. Your dream... Hmm, I'll make sure it cos true."
Though fleeting, Zetsu's "grief" over Obito ended with those words. Taking up the fallen warrior's resolve, Zetsu turned toward Konoha, preparing for his next move.
Based on the intelligence he had gathered, the Five Great Nations were now fully supporting Orochimaru. One after another, samples of historical ninja DNA from various villages were being delivered to Orochimaru, leading to the creation of an unprecedented Edo Tensei army.
This presented Zetsu with an opportunity.
As Gensou had anticipated, Zetsu trusted no one besides his "mother." Even after witnessing the state of the Infinite Tsukuyomi world, where Gensou demonstrated an uncanny familiarity with the Ten-Tails and the Gedo Statue, Zetsu couldn't shake his suspicions.
Though Gensou was closer to becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki and achieving the Infinite Tsukuyomi than Obito ever was, Zetsu still felt the need for a backup plan.
"Madara-sama, when you return to this world, I hope you won't be too shocked," Zetsu murmured with a shrug, heading swiftly toward Konoha.
anwhile, Gensou's capture of the Two-Tails' Jinchūriki went off without a hitch.
Obito had confined her in a secret base left behind by Madara on the borders of the Land of Fire. By the ti Gensou arrived, the Jinchūriki remained unconscious.
Grabbing her effortlessly, Gensou was about to leave when a ssage ca through his Zero Ring.
"Edo Tensei?"
Gensou's face showed surprise.
As ntioned before, Konoha had planted informants in Lock Village. With the rapid rise in Edo Tensei summons, the intel eventually reached Gensou after passing through the chain of communication.
"Konoha is building an Edo Tensei army, led by Orochimaru?"
Seeing the na, Gensou's expression reflected a mix of surprise and inevitability.
He sighed softly.
"So even after all that, he still won't stay dead?"
To be thorough, Gensou had not only killed Orochimaru's main body but also eliminated Kabuto, who had inherited all of Orochimaru's knowledge. While in Konoha, he even destroyed the fragnt of Orochimaru's soul lingering within Anko.
Despite these asures, Orochimaru had managed to resurface.
"Impressive. Truly a cockroach-level existence," Gensou muttered, both annoyed and impressed.
At the sa ti, a rare trace of caution crossed his face.
