Land of Water.
Kirigakure, Mizukage's office.
Obito was sitting in the Fourth Mizukage's seat, carefully reading various documents.
Beside him, the real Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, stood dazed like a statue.
"Obito, the situation isn't looking good right now."
As he was flipping through the documents, Black Zetsu slowly emerged from underground. He looked at Obito, who was still leisurely reading the documents, and said with a headache.
"There are more and more movements within Kirigakure. Although they are secretive, they can't escape our eyes. It won't be long before those guys might actually make a move."
"Isn't this perfect?"
Obito raised his head, the Sharingan under his mask emitting a faint red glow.
"The more chaotic this village is, the more interesting it becomes!"
Although Obito didn't blame Kakashi and understood the reason for Rin's tragedy, people are always hypocritical. Just because he understands doesn't mean he won't do anything.
Kakashi is an exception, but Kirigakure?
Moreover, Kirigakure possesses two Tailed Beasts, and the entire Land of Water is isolated from the Ninja World.
Especially since Kirigakure had been implementing an elite mode, advocating that only those who emerged from slaughter were true powerhouses, and this was even true for the Ninja Academy.
Such conditions naturally made it convenient for him to strike hard. All he had to do was control the Mizukage and then expand on that basis.
Under his manipulation, Kirigakure could be said to have been pushed to its limits.
The high-pressure management policy radiating throughout the village, the oppression of lower-ranking Ninja by upper-ranking Ninja...
Coupled with the Kaguya clan's rebellion, the village was filled with disgust for Ninja with kekkei genkais.
It can be said that the entire Kirigakure, in Obito's hands, had become a vibrant and competitive place.
Anyway, he was just extracting revenge. At the same time, he was treating Kirigakure as a place to store the Three-Tails and Six-Tails.
Obito felt that he was already being very benevolent by not destroying the village. Of course, he didn't know how to develop a village either.
Perhaps because the oppression was too severe, under the leadership of Genji, an elder who almost possessed authority equal to that of the Mizukage, Kirigakure's resistance grew increasingly fierce.
"Be serious. Don't forget you've already been exposed in Konoha."
Black Zetsu looked at Obito's indifferent demeanor and spoke helplessly, "Although Konoha hasn't issued a warrant yet, this might just be because they can't confirm your true identity. They will definitely follow up when they do."
"Don't forget that we discovered someone secretly investigating before. Those might be Konoha's people, and now Kirigakure is in such a mess…"
Obito interrupted, "Let them do as they please. Am I afraid of their warrant?"
Obito tilted his head and glanced at Black Zetsu. Those few investigating Ninja were already dead.
Moreover, they were professionally trained and committed suicide before they could be interrogated for information, so he didn't know where they came from.
However, he didn't care as he was confident enough in his abilities.
Even if they were from Konoha, so what? Konoha wants to capture him?
What a joke!
Even though Takemi had unexpectedly deciphered his pupil technique, he felt that Takemi had just gotten lucky.
Besides, even if information about his Kamui is known, it doesn't matter. As long as he is focused enough and slightly adjusts his combat style, there will be no accidents.
The power of Kamui is unimaginable to ordinary people. There's no real trouble to him unless Konoha produces another Minato…
"Alright, enough of this."
Obito didn't want to continue discussing this issue and instead handed the list to Black Zetsu.
"I've found an interesting prospect here in Kirigakure. What do you think of this guy?"
"Hoshigake Kisame…"
Seeing Obito act like this, Black Zetsu knew that he no longer needed to persuade him.
Anyway, Obito always had his own ideas. As long as it didn't affect his ultimate plan, he could follow his train of thought.
"The kid from the Hoshigaki Clan, good at swordsmanship, great levels of Chakra, and acts decisively, treating orders as life. He would be a good choice."
"But I remember he's a subordinate of Suikazan Fuguki. What do you plan to do?"
Obito said, "That guy is very confused. Under Suikazan Fuguki's command, he has killed many of his own people, and now he harbors a lot of resentment."
Obito sneered, then spoke, "He's probably already starting to doubt everything in this world, and he's almost lost his goal, not even knowing why he's alive."
"After all, this is a false world, and to deal with him, all that's needed is to give him an outlet at the right time and guide him well, then he will become my loyal subordinate!"
Obito was well-versed in this matter. He had similarly deceived Nagato after Yahiko's death, and this time he could do it again.
"Moreover, Nagato isn't very obedient. He has his own ideas, and I also need a competent person to monitor everything within the Akatsuki."
Although Nagato had seemingly reached an agreement with Obito, Obito knew that he definitely hadn't completely aligned with him.
He had long wanted to place a suitable person inside to ensure his 'Eye of the Moon Plan' could proceed smoothly.
"Since you've decided, then it's him." Black Zetsu nodded, tacitly agreeing with Obito's idea.
"Also, shouldn't Kirigakure be suppressed a bit? After all, the unrest is getting worse. Wouldn't it be bad if we didn't do something about it?"
Obito said, "Of course we should. This time, let's make it a bigger deal."
Obito pondered for a moment before speaking, "They want to rebel, don't they? Then as the Mizukage, I naturally have to suppress them. Let them slowly gather, and then I'll deal with them all at once!"
"Huh?"
Black Zetsu was stunned when he heard Obito's words. His expression was somewhat unpleasant. Was this going to be a bloodbath?
Isn't this fool afraid of causing big problems?
It seems he really isn't afraid?
Because he simply doesn't understand, nor does he care.
Black Zetsu asked, "Won't this be too intense?"
"No."
Obito shook his head and spoke seriously, "This is beneficial to us. Weakening Kirigakure will make it easier for us to acquire the Three-Tails and Six-Tails later, and it can also reduce Kirigakure's future influence on us."
"Besides, weren't you worried about those people from Konoha or some other place? Why not take this opportunity to deal with them all at once?"
'What the hell are you talking about, do you think I don't know what you're thinking?' Black Zetsu secretly cursed in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Alas, I thought you couldn't let go of Rin?"
But while he didn't speak, White Zetsu, who had been quiet, spoke up now.
"After all, it was them who chased…Woo woo woo…"
Before White Zetsu could finish speaking, Black Zetsu put a hand over half of his mouth to stop him from seeking his own death.
At the same time, he bravely met Obito's murderous gaze and nodded. "I understand. I will arrange this matter and try my best to make this battle larger in scale."
"Hmm…"
Obito glared fiercely at White Zetsu, then spoke faintly, "This time, I'll leave it to you. I just want to see the results…"
With Obito's instructions, Black Zetsu, however unwilling, began to move. The already chaotic Kirigakure became even more treacherous at this moment.
And amidst Kirigakure's chaos, Danzo looked at the intelligence in his hand, his expression unusually grim.
