Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 483 Only I can lead us to victory!

A hidden corner of the ninja world.

A gentle sea breeze caressed my cheeks.

Obito Uchiha propped himself up on one knee and sat on a huge, exposed rock.

Standing beside him was a quiet girl dressed in a black robe, whose presence was so low that she seemed to have blended into the air. Neither of them spoke, but they simply looked up slightly at the white clouds that were slowly drifting in the sky.

Listening to the rhythmic sound of the waterfall crashing against the rocks, it seemed that Obito Uchiha's recent somewhat irritable and agitated emotions had been dispelled by the bright sunshine.

However, even this moment of tranquility seemed to be something that fate was not going to allow him to enjoy any longer.

Right in front of Obito Uchiha, Black Zetsu's distinct black and white body quietly emerged from the trunk of an ordinary-looking tree.

Before Black Zetsu could speak, Obito Uchiha's expression suddenly tensed up.

Then, with a "bang," a burst of white smoke exploded.

The black-robed girl who had been standing beside Obito vanished without a trace.

As the girl's figure disappeared, Obito Uchiha seemed to instantly revert to the cold and resolute leader of the Zero Organization, looking coldly at the newly appeared Black Zetsu and slowly asking.

"What is it now?"

Black Zetsu first glanced at the spot where the black-robed girl had disappeared, but seemed to be used to this situation, and without even asking any questions, immediately began to talk about the important matter.

"Konoha has initiated the Five Kage Summit against the five great ninja villages, and the main purpose is probably to deal with us."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha's eyes turned slightly cold, but he did not directly ask about the Five Kage Summit. Instead, he suppressed his anger and questioned Black Zetsu.

"Have you identified which faction is responsible for the attacks on Sunagakure and Iwagakure?"

Yes, this was also one of the most troublesome things for Obito Uchiha during this period.

Originally, Obito Uchiha had intended to oppose Pakura and Kakuzu's plan to attack Kirigakure.

However, considering that it was a good opportunity to test the current strength of Kirigakure, they decided to let them do as they pleased.

Even so, Obito Uchiha emphasized that during their four-person operation, they were forbidden from revealing the identities of Zero members, attempting to confuse it with an ordinary attack on Kirigakure.

As a result, Kirigakure hadn't revealed many of their trump cards yet. All they knew was that Tachibana's strength was still increasing, and someone had even launched an attack on Sunagakure and Iwagakure at the same time.

What he found even more unbearable was that the Zero Organization hadn't even officially started collecting the Tailed Beasts yet.

The four-tailed jinchūriki they had been eyeing for a long time disappeared inexplicably due to an attack.

Obito Uchiha's plan to quietly capture the Tailed Beasts after gathering enough manpower has completely fallen through.

Instead, the ninja world's criticism was directed at the Zero organization he had established, and he was inexplicably made a scapegoat.

Even now, he doesn't know whether the Four-Tailed Roshi was captured, escaped on his own, or joined some secret organization.

However, even Black Zetsu couldn't give a clear answer to this question.

"We can't find anything. The frequency of White Zetsu disappearances has increased recently, and it's already quite difficult to maintain the existing intelligence network."

Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha frowned even more deeply and asked with some resentment.

"Could the disappearance of White Zetsu be the work of that bastard Tachibana Kanagawa? If so, he might also be the mastermind behind the attacks on Sunagakure and Iwagakure!!"

Black Zetsu shook his head slightly upon hearing this.

"Probably not. In Kirigakure, although Tachibana Kanagawa's frog summoning beast regularly patrols and cleans up White Zetsu, its whereabouts are generally still traceable."

"Although there aren't many White Zetsu over there now, a few have been well hidden and preserved. Every time I go to gather intelligence, everything is normal."

"As for the attackers from Sunagakure, there is clear evidence that they used Wood Release and Sharingan. They should be the same person who impersonated Madara and attacked Konoha before. It's impossible for Tachibana Kenkawa to have mastered these two abilities."

Black Zetsu's explanation was clearly not the answer Obito Uchiha wanted, and he punched the boulder next to him hard.

With a loud "boom".

Spiderweb-like cracks spread out instantly.

Ignoring the somewhat deformed and liquefied white arm, Obito Uchiha stared intently at Black Zetsu in front of him, his tone icy cold.

"So, after spending so much time, you haven't gotten any information at all?"

Black Zetsu, who was already used to Obito's temper, remained unmoved. He merely glanced at the shattered rocks and forcibly suppressed the White Zetsu's attempt to feign fear and provoke Obito, speaking calmly.

"It's not like there are absolutely no clues."

Obito Uchiha was taken aback at first, but then remained silent, waiting for Black Zetsu to continue.

Black Zetsu didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"The person who attacked Sunagakure was wearing a black robe with red clouds, which is somewhat similar to our black robe with purple eyes, but they are not the same."

"The other party probably didn't intend to frame us. It's very likely that another unknown organization happened to be acting at the same time as us."

Actually, Black Zetsu was also feeling quite uneasy when he said those words.

He was the son of the Otsutsuki clan, the mighty Black Zetsu, who hid behind the scenes of the ninja world for over a thousand years, his eyes and ears covering the entire ninja world.

Now, out of nowhere, a secret organization that he had never even heard of has suddenly appeared.

Most importantly, the opponent also possesses both the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release abilities.

It's important to know that the Uchiha and Senju clans, both descendants of the Hagoromo lineage, have always been the families he has been paying close attention to.

He knew each newborn better than the current patriarchs of both clans.

Now, out of nowhere, a powerful figure I've never heard of has appeared?

However, that was the reality, and he had no choice but to trust his own judgment and tell it to Obito Uchiha.

However, after hearing his words, Obito Uchiha suddenly fell silent.

The crimson Mangekyou Sharingan and the pale purple Rinnegan stared intently at Black Zetsu's pale yellow beady eyes, as if trying to discern something from them.

"W-what's wrong?"

Black Zetsu, feeling a bit uneasy under Obito's gaze, was the first to speak and ask a question.

Obito Uchiha stared intently at Black Zetsu, his tone icy as he slowly asked, enunciating each word clearly.

"Black Zetsu, I'll ask you one more time, Madara, did he secretly leave some other backup plan in the ninja world behind my back?!"

"If you have them, hand them over now. Only I can lead us to complete the final plan!"

Black Zetsu was initially confused, but then quickly realized that Obito was referring to the organization with the "black robes with red clouds," and replied somewhat speechlessly.

"What are you thinking? Even if such a thing existed, it wouldn't appear at this time to disrupt our plans!"
