"That punk Kazama has gone too far, hiding all the Tailed Beasts behind my back! Fine, if that's how it's gonna be, I'll turn the entire Ninja World upside down. I refuse to believe I can't track them down!"
"You're planning to wage war against the entire Ninja World?"
Hearing Black Zetsu's words and seeing his actions, Obito and the others were stunned.
Black Zetsu's moves were far beyond what they—or Kazama—had anticipated.
"That's right, I'm going to war with the whole Ninja World!"
"But with just these hundreds of thousands of White Zetsu, we can't even shake the Five Great Nations, let alone take on the entire Ninja World!" Obito hurriedly tried to stop him.
Kazama had ordered him to make Black Zetsu revive Ōtsutsuki Kaguya as soon as possible. But now, seeing things veer off course, Obito was frantic.
"Hmph, Obito, you underestimate me. You think I only have these White Zetsu? Kabuto!"
As soon as Black Zetsu spoke, Yakushi Kabuto appeared at his side.
At this point, Kabuto had fully mastered the Sage Arts of Ryūchidō. The chakra radiating from him was so intense that even Obito, standing nearby, was taken aback.
"Kabuto, show them your results," Black Zetsu said.
"No problem!"
Kabuto smirked, pushing up his glasses.
"This is the fruit of my years of research. Feast your eyes—Edo Tensei!"
Instantly, hundreds of thousands of Edo Tensei ninja soldiers appeared on the scene.
"What the…?"
Seeing this army of the dead, Obito was shocked again.
"These are ninjas who died in past wars. Their individual strength may not be top-tier, but combined with hundreds of thousands of White Zetsu, they're an unstoppable force!"
"So, what do you think? Our numbers now far surpass the armies of the Five Great Nations!"
"Even so, we can't destroy the entire Ninja World," Obito argued, still trying to dissuade Black Zetsu from starting a war.
"Don't worry. I've also got Kage-level masters from every nation's history—and an even stronger trump card!" Kabuto said with another cold smirk.
"Besides, our main goal isn't to destroy the Ninja World. It's to recapture all nine Tailed Beasts!"
Black Zetsu was now fully convinced by Kabuto's plan, completely ignoring Obito's pleas.
"We'll start with Konoha, then take down the ninja villages of the Five Great Nations one by one. When that's done, I refuse to believe the Tailed Beasts will have anywhere left to hide, haha!"
"This time, I'm not just going to reclaim the Tailed Beasts—I'm going to tear Kazama apart, crush his bones, and scatter his ashes!"
"What? Black Zetsu's teamed up with Yakushi Kabuto and is preparing to wage war on the entire Ninja World?!"
Taking advantage of Black Zetsu's distraction, Obito quickly relayed the news to Kazama.
At that moment, Kazama had just returned to Konoha.
"That bastard Black Zetsu is so damn stubborn. Instead of reviving Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, he's going to war with the whole Ninja World!"
Learning of Black Zetsu's actions, Kazama was so furious he couldn't help but laugh.
"It's my fault for being incompetent, letting Black Zetsu stray from our plan. Please, Lord Kazama, punish me," Obito said.
Hearing this, Kazama waved it off with a smile.
"No worries. Since Black Zetsu's so dead-set on capturing the Tailed Beasts, I'll back him into a corner until he has no choice but to revive Ōtsutsuki Kaguya himself."
Just then, Kazama sensed a surge of chakra on the outskirts of Konoha.
