Chapter 39: Obito, You Worthless Fool, No Wonder Rin Chose Kakashi!
Black Zetsu's words were instantly choked back. His head buzzed, forgetting even why he'd come. White Zetsu cried out even more frantically:
"Eh, he knows!"
"He really knows!"
"Our plans are all exposed!"
"What do we do?"
"Should we kill him to silence him?"
"Silence!" Black Zetsu's expression darkened as he stopped White Zetsu from leaking further intelligence. His eyes locked onto Yasushi, overflowing with killing intent.
"Haha..." Yasushi completely disregarded Black Zetsu's murderous aura, only laughing wantonly.
"Black Zetsu, I'm not interested in your affairs. I don't care whether Kaguya is released, and I care even less whether the shinobi world is destroyed..."
"I don't care about any of it!"
"I only care about one thing!"
"That is—will Konoha be destroyed!"
Black Zetsu's gaze carefully scrutinized Yasushi's mad and twisted face for a long time before finally nodding solemnly with a promise:
"Rest assured, as long as you don't obstruct my affairs, I can guarantee Konoha will definitely be destroyed!"
"Haha... that's good! That's good!" Yasushi laughed maniacally.
Zetsu's body slowly sank toward the ground but suddenly paused, asking hesitantly:
"Hey, Yasushi, have your eyes seen the outcome?"
"In the future, did I successfully rescue Mother?"
"Mm?" Yasushi stopped laughing, turned his head to look at Zetsu, and nodded seriously: "Rescued!"
"Of course she was rescued!"
"However..."
Before joy could appear on Black Zetsu's face, Yasushi's expression changed again, revealing a strange smile filled with naked malice. Then he laughed even more maniacally.
"However, your big brother, the Sage of Six Paths Otsutsuki Hagoromo, suddenly popped up. After a bunch of struggling, he sealed your mother Kaguya back again!"
"Haha..."
"What?!" Black Zetsu instantly flew into a rage, his entire body trembling as he shouted frantically: "He's not dead yet?"
"That bastard!"
"He doesn't deserve to be Mother's son!"
"If not for him and Otsutsuki Hamura interfering, how could Mother have been sealed?"
"I'll kill him!"
"I'll definitely kill him!"
Black Zetsu cursed and swore, controlling his body to sink into the ground and disappear from the room.
After Zetsu left, the smile on Yasushi's face gradually faded, replaced by an expression of bitter enmity.
He wouldn't let Konoha go!
He wouldn't let Uchiha Itachi go either!
And of course he wouldn't let Uchiha Obito go!
So why would he let Black Zetsu off?
Just because he hadn't directly participated in the Uchiha massacre?
If investigated thoroughly, Black Zetsu was the biggest mastermind behind everything—the one who absolutely couldn't be spared!
It's just that revenge must be taken one at a time, things done step by step. Now wasn't the time to move against him. Better to use him for now.
Yasushi sat upright on the bed, his gaze distant as he looked at the empty space before the window, waiting for Uchiha Obito to come kill him.
Nagato didn't allow him to actively provoke Obito, but if Obito broke the rules first, that couldn't be blamed on him!
Although he'd already been fleeing non-stop for several days, fought continuous major battles, his body was extremely exhausted, and he'd treated Nagato for a very long time—his chakra and ocular power had both reached their limit.
But just thinking about making Obito suffer a huge loss soon, Yasushi felt energy permeating his entire body, not feeling tired at all.
Sure enough, before long, Obito arrived.
The Uchiha were always arrogant. Obito was no exception.
He just brazenly walked in through the front door, his intangible body allowing him to ignore any obstacles.
"Oh, if it isn't Obito?" Yasushi leaned against the headboard, waving in greeting. "What's this, want to ask about your good buddy Kakashi's recent situation?"
Yasushi understood Obito—he knew how to provoke him for maximum rage.
Sure enough, upon hearing Kakashi's name, Obito exploded.
"Don't mention that name to me!" Obito shouted furiously. "I'll kill him sooner or later!"
"Oh, is that so..." Yasushi said understandingly. "That's simple!"
"I'm the type who loves helping others."
"I can help Itachi complete his mission and kill his little brother. Of course I can also help you achieve your wish and kill Kakashi!"
"When we attack Konoha Village next time, I'll solve the problem for you."
"No need to thank me!"
Obito instantly grew angrier, staring deadly at Yasushi as he warned grimly:
"My affairs—don't you dare interfere!"
"Don't do unnecessary things, or... I'll kill you!"
"Oh my, oh my!" Yasushi cried out in exaggerated alarm. "I thought you came here to kill me right now!"
"Turns out you'll only kill me after I've killed Kakashi!"
"Obito, oh Obito, you really are worthless!"
"No wonder Rin ultimately chose Kakashi. Even dying at Kakashi's hands, she still smiled—after all, she died at the hands of her most beloved..."
"SILENCE!" Sure enough, at the mention of Rin's name, Obito could no longer restrain himself. He charged forward, right hand outstretched, pressing toward Yasushi.
"Haha... this is exactly what I've been waiting for!" Yasushi laughed wildly as Susanoo rose from the ground, sweeping with one punch.
The cramped room was immediately shattered by the massive energy giant, debris and tiles falling in showers before being pulverized by blood-red chakra energy.
Such commotion immediately alerted everyone nearby. Countless eyes from the shadows immediately focused over.
After phasing, Obito hid in his pocket dimension, avoiding Susanoo's attack. Standing tall with his head raised, he said arrogantly:
"It's useless!"
"No matter what jutsu you use, you cannot harm me, while I can patiently wait for your chakra to run out."
"You can't hurt me, but I can hurt you."
"You only need to fail defending once, and it's all over."
"Is that so?" Yasushi smiled strangely, reaching back to remove the medicinal herb gourd, pointing it at Obito and tipping it downward. The massive quantity of phosphorus destruction insects poured out like a waterfall, washing down toward Obito.
Obito completely failed to understand the situation, still boasting there:
"It's useless!"
"You also know this is a space-time jutsu. No matter what attack, it cannot harm me in another dimension."
"Phosphorus destruction insects won't work either!"
"Haha... you fucking idiot!" Yasushi laughed wildly, mocking: "Obito, you really are dead last! Your brain really doesn't work!"
"Since you know I understand your intelligence, you should realize I not only know your Kamui ocular jutsu is space-time ninjutsu, but I also know this technique's maximum time limit is five minutes!"
"Well, now I've covered you with poisonous insects. Let me ask—do you dare come out of Kamui dimension?"
"Unfortunately though, you're not quite stupid enough to have absorbed the phosphorus destruction insects into Kamui dimension. Otherwise that would've been exactly what I wanted!"
"I originally planned to have the phosphorus destruction insects nest in your Kamui dimension, directly making their home in your Kamui space. What a pity, what a pity!"
