Outside the Five Kage Summit fortress.
A hidden cave served as the hideout for the main Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
With Black Zetsu's cautious nature, he certainly wouldn't infiltrate the Five Kage Summit and risk being killed by the Kage.
So, he remained hidden on the outskirts with White Zetsu, gathering information while controlling other Zetsu clones to support Sasuke.
"Danzo and the others have entered the fortress. Sasuke and his group must have found Danzo already."
"I wonder, will they start fighting right away?"
"Hehehe—!"
The main White Zetsu laughed gleefully, as if enjoying the chaotic situation that was about to unfold.
"I want to try possessing Sasuke, see how it feels compared to Obito? Sadly, that kid definitely wouldn't agree."
A rolling White Zetsu erged from the side, speaking in a mischievous tone.
There were three special White Zetsu: the main White Zetsu, the pitcher plant White Zetsu, and the rolling White Zetsu.
Currently, the main White Zetsu and the rolling White Zetsu were near Black Zetsu, while the pitcher plant White Zetsu, who usually partnered with Black Zetsu, was with Sasuke.
Since Obito was absent, Black Zetsu had summoned all the special Zetsu as a precaution.
"By the way, Sasuke alone, even with his subordinates, can't possibly defeat the Five Kage, right?"
"Obito isn't here, what if he gets killed by the Five Kage?"
The main White Zetsu asked with a smile.
"He won't die that easily. Even if he does, it's not a big deal."
Black Zetsu replied in a sinister voice.
As the true mastermind, Black Zetsu's goals differed from White Zetsu's.
All the White Zetsu believed they were created by Madara, working to revive him and realize the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
But Black Zetsu's plan went deeper.
While trying to revive his mother, Kaguya, he also planned to eliminate the successors of Indra and Asura in this generation!
Currently, Madara already possessed the Rinnegan, the basic requirent for Kaguya's revival was t.
Sasuke and Naruto as the next successors were still useful, but in reality, their threat outweighed their value.
If Obito didn't return and Sasuke was killed by the Five Kage, that would actually be good.
The death of Indra's successor would prevent his mother from being sealed again after her revival; for Black Zetsu, that was the best outco!
That's why he never opposed Obito and White Zetsu instigating Sasuke to attack the Five Kage Summit.
"Obito and Kisa? Any news?" Black Zetsu asked.
"No... You know, my clones can't infiltrate Agakure..."
"Isn't Nagato dead already?"
"Don't know. But that technique still envelops the village, maybe soone obtained the Rinnegan and activated A no Jindou again..."
"Hmph! Damn Nagato, he really ruined Madara-sama's plan!"
Black Zetsu cursed irritably.
Compared to Sasuke, he was more worried about Obito and Kisa, hoping they hadn't run into trouble and would quickly retrieve the Rinnegan!
That was the key to his thousand-year plan.
When he learned that Nagato had betrayed them and used the Rinnegan to revive Konoha, Black Zetsu almost died of anger!
No wonder he miscalculated.
Who would have thought that Nagato, who always seed so formidable, would not only be defeated by Naruto but also be successfully convinced by him?
Now, the only hope was that Obito could take the Rinnegan and fix the Eye of the Moon Plan.
"Wait..."
The main White Zetsu suddenly received a ssage, his face changing drastically.
"Big trouble!"
"What?"
"Obito is dead!"
"What?!?"
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
A few minutes later, two Zetsu clones brought a shaken Kisa up from underground, back to Black Zetsu and the others' side.
As Nagato had anticipated, as soon as Kisa left Agakure, he was imdiately discovered by the observing Zetsu clones. Then he was brought to Black Zetsu, saving search ti.
Seeing Kisa, the agitated Black Zetsu imdiately attacked with questions:
"Kisa, is 'Madara' dead? Was the Rinnegan obtained?"
Kisa took a deep breath, looking at Black Zetsu and the others, realizing he couldn't kill them all at once.
So he went into acting mode, imdiately replying:
"You don't need to lie anymore. He's not Madara, he's Uchiha Obito!"
"You already knew?"
White Zetsu chuckled, not expecting Kisa to know Obito's identity.
"Don't waste ti, who was the enemy? Where's the Rinnegan? What exactly happened in Agakure?!?"
Black Zetsu was extrely panicked, even losing his usual composure.
Kisa didn't delay, delivering the prepared story.
Of course, this story about the events in Agakure was mostly true.
Including how Obito infiltrated, how he was surrounded and defeated by the new Akatsuki organization, everything was told according to the facts.
Only the ending was changed.
Changed to: Obito fought desperately, Kisa managed to escape the encirclent, and finally survived.
This mixed information was far more convincing than a complete lie.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Hearing about Obito's death, Black Zetsu almost fainted, dying of anger.
Nagato was dead, severely damaging his plan.
Now Obito was also dead, and the Rinnegan was taken, how could the Eye of the Moon Plan continue?
"Obito is really dead?"
"Yes. Before I escaped, I saw him killed by the Edo Tensei'd Nagato!"
"Including Nagato, all the forr core mbers of Akatsuki were revived?"
"That's right!"
"Then how did you escape?"
"Their main target was Obito, the attacks on weren't too fierce. Besides, I can fuse with Sahada and no one can catch in the water!"
Kisa's answer left Black Zetsu unable to find any flaws.
Logically, with Kamui and Izanagi, Obito should have been impossible to kill.
But his enemies were too strong!
The entire Edo Tensei team from the afterlife, plus Konan's ho field advantage, with insufficient information and caught in an ambush, it was natural for Obito to lose.
But that didn't an Black Zetsu could accept it!
"Damn it! How could this happen?"
"Who? Who is the mastermind behind all this?!?"
Black Zetsu shouted hysterically, losing all his patience.
"I don't know. That person never appeared, only controlled the Edo Tensei to attack. And they knew us very well, maybe there's a connection to Akatsuki..."
Kisa didn't answer directly, only giving a vague assessnt.
"Sounds interesting! Reviving all the Akatsuki mbers, knowing Obito's identity and abilities. It must be soone we know! Who?"
The main White Zetsu guessed mischievously, not feeling any danger.
The rolling White Zetsu added: "The Edo Tensei users seem to be only two people, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and Orochimaru..."
"Both are dead! Is it possible that Orochimaru is alive again?"
Black Zetsu imdiately denied: "No! Orochimaru has a boastful nature. If it were him, he would have appeared and mocked Obito!"
Black Zetsu deeply understood the characters of important ninjas, the result of his thousands of years of experience.
"Then who else? Could it be a Konoha ninja?"
"Maybe Orochimaru's disciple?" Kisa gave a tily clue.
"Orochimaru's disciple? Sasuke? No... There seems to be soone nad Kabuto? Maybe it's him?"
"It could be! He could learn Edo Tensei from Orochimaru, inherit information about Akatsuki, and likes to hide behind the scenes... Very likely!"
Black Zetsu muttered, becoming more and more convinced of his guess.
Out of all possibilities, Kabuto, who was close to Orochimaru, was the most likely suspect!
anwhile, Kabuto, who was busy stealing corpses, had no idea that he had been made a scapegoat.
