Outside the tower-shaped building.
Black Zetsu, who had separated from White Zetsu, and Obito, wearing a black robe with red clouds and an orange spiral mask, stood in the snow.
"Are you ready?" Obito asked casually.
"Ah, the White Zetsu clone is ready." Black Zetsu nodded.
Obito continued, "What about Fujiwara Kirito? Any news?"
"I don't know. The clock tower in the Hidden Rain Village where Pain originally lived is our forbidden area. If you enter rashly, you will be killed instantly." Black Zetsu sighed, "We can only hope that he receives the message from White Zetsu himself."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if he doesn't come. Sasuke is enough for the battle. Anyway, I'm not here to participate in the battle this time." Obito said indifferently.
As the two spoke, a pair of arms rested on their shoulders, accompanied by Fujiwara Kirito's voice. "I'm sorry, I've lost my way in life and kept you waiting."
Obito and Black Zetsu were startled. With a flash of their bodies, they retreated, putting distance between them and Fujiwara Kirito. Only when they saw Kirito's familiar form did they breathe a sigh of relief.
"Is there any need for you to be so dramatic? We're all companions after all. I won't eat you!" Kirito said harmlessly.
Obito's face twitched beneath his mask, thinking, "Why did you suddenly appear in front of someone else? Don't you have any idea?"
Black Zetsu replied, slightly euphemistically, "That's because you're so elusive."
"So, what's the point of the Five Kage Summit now?" Kirito asked, releasing his Observation Haki.
He began to sense things, asking himself questions and answering them: "Have the Five Kage arrived yet? There's a White Zetsu in the meeting room. Oh, and there's Jiraiya, too. He really doesn't learn his lesson. Aren't you afraid of getting killed by running into this place?"
Obito's fear grew when he heard Kirito had, in a split second, grasped the situation inside the Five Kage meeting building. He said in a deep voice, "Since you're already here, it's perfect timing. Come and hear my plan."
"Are we finally getting serious? I'm all ears." Kirito's smile faded.
"I'm sure you already know about the failure to capture the Eight-Tails, and the same thing with the Nine-Tails. Pain betrayed us and chose to use the Rinnegan's ultimate eye technique, Samsara: Reincarnation, to resurrect everyone in Konoha, including the previously deceased Jiraiya,"
Obito said gravely.
"The Outer Path Demon Statue requires the Rinnegan to control the void. So, do you want me to help you retrieve the Rinnegan?" Kirito asked calmly.
Hearing that the Rinnegan hadn't fallen into Kirito's hands, Obito and Black Zetsu both felt a surge of joy.
They naturally couldn't let Kirito retrieve it.
Otherwise, it would be like a sheep falling into the tiger's mouth, and it would be difficult to spit it out again.
"That's not necessary." Obito skipped the previous topic. "The most important thing right now is to recover the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails and prepare for the Moon Eye Project."
"Sasuke's disturbance at the Five Kage Summit was just a cover. Next, I plan to use war to force the five major countries to hand over the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails."
"The Fourth Shinobi World War?" Kirito showed an interested look. "That's a very good suggestion. One of the most powerful factors that unites people is a common enemy."
"The ninja world today is really too bad. Even the Five Kage are just ants with slightly stronger strength. A single ninja village is simply vulnerable. Only when the five major countries unite will it be interesting."
"Then, what do you need me to do. To intimidate the Five Kage?"
"Yes." Obito admitted frankly, "Because of the existence of your apprentice, my abilities have been completely cracked. Now that I'm regaining my Samsara Eye, I don't have enough strength to start this war."
If it weren't for Chinatsu, then with the help of Kamui, he could naturally come and go in the Five Kage Summit, but with Chinatsu's bug, if things go wrong, the other party will unite with the Five Kage, and he will most likely stay there forever.
That's why they needed Kirito as their strong support.
Kirito agreed immediately, "Then leave it to me. I'm looking forward to seeing how far the Five Kage have come."
Obito said, "Well, Naruto's also come to the Land of Iron. Apparently, he's here to ask the Raikage for mercy on you and Sasuke. I plan to go talk to him next."
"Just wait here for me. I'll use Kamui to take you in later. Of course, you can also come with me to Naruto's place first."
He was able to convince Nagato to sacrifice himself to revive Konoha's dead. I'm really looking forward to talking to him.
Kirito shook his head. "No need. It's just Jiraiya's idea of achieving peace through mutual understanding. It's too naive. As for the Five Kage Summit, I'll go in alone."
At this, Kirito looked at Black Zetsu. "Sixth brother, do you want to come in with me?"
"I don't have your strength. I'll just wait here for you." Black Zetsu heard this and shook his head.
The reason it has survived for so many years is not because of the Mayfly Jutsu or immortality.
It's because of one word: survival!
As long as its mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, does not resurrect, it will continue to survive.
"As you wish," Kirito said, flicking his right sleeve and quietly grasping his Zanpakutō. He slowly walked into the building.
"Who are you? The Five Kage meeting is underway here. No entry."
"Red Cloud, black robe, it's Akatsuki. Quick, inform Lord Okisuke and Lord Sakkaku."
As Kirito approached,
the Iron Nation guarding the building's perimeter quickly spotted Kirito, and the scene erupted in unsurprising commotion.
Drawing their samurai, infusing them with chakra and wielding their sword energy, they launched a coordinated ranged attack against Kirito. The leading samurai quickly instructed their subordinates to communicate via radio with two direct subordinates of the Iron Nation Admiral Mifune.
Kirito didn't give them time to react; being discovered too early would be a bummer.
He casually waved his Zanpakutō, blocking the sword energy of the other samurai while casting a genjutsu.
Instantly, before the samurai's eyes, a massive tree sprang from beneath their feet, instantly binding them.
"It's actually an illusion that can't be solved. Damn it."
The warriors tried to suppress it, but in front of the gap that was like a chasm, everything seemed so vulnerable.
The sound of falling to the ground continued to ring out, and the warriors lost consciousness and lay on the ground, unable to move. They could only watch Kirito walk past them.
"Obito, is this okay? The strongest fighters in the current ninja world are gathered in there. Especially the Tsuchikage who possesses the bloodline-eliminating Dust Release, but he is an antique left over from the first Hokage. Whether Kirito knows his information is still unknown."
Looking at Kirito disappearing at the entrance of the dark skeleton building, Black Zetsu said to Obito.
It's not that Black Zetsu is worried about Kirito, but he is reluctant to give up this powerful chess piece.
If he died like this.
The time for his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki to resurrect will be delayed.
