Chapter 229 Self-defeating
In the new year, some people have strengthened their beliefs, while others are planning their farewell campaign;
Some people are on the road of revenge, while others are tasting the sadness of failure and experiencing the ups and downs of life...
The latter naturally refers to the two brothers, Black Zetsu and Afei.
Now they don't even have a stable base.
I can't go back to the Hidden Mist Village, and the Rain Country has long been a forbidden area.
The two main bases where they caused trouble in the original novel are now far away from them.
In the first New Year after Madara's death, the once ambitious Infinite Tsukuyomi crew once again embarked on a wandering journey.
"What has Obito been doing lately?"
During their wanderings, Black Zetsu never forgot to keep an eye on their successor whom they once had high hopes for.
Ah Fei squatted on the branch, gazing at the starry sky like a worried philosopher.
But when he heard Black Zetsu's question, the first thing he blurted out was.
"Shh, don't bother me, I feel like I've found a little bit of what those people feel like when they poop."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the philosophical atmosphere disappeared.
Black Zetsu resisted the urge to kick him away, interrupted the other party's interesting thoughts, and asked again.
"I asked you what Obito has been doing lately?"
Ah Fei finally came to his senses, "What? You haven't given up on him yet?"
Black Zetsu did not answer, but the unwillingness in his expression was clearly visible.
Of course he was unwilling to give up.
The kid's current strength is the result of their painstaking training!
"He's been chasing Orochimaru recently." A Fei replied.
"Chasing Orochimaru? Why?" Black Zetsu asked.
"He is looking for the truth behind Konoha's original Konoha experiment."
Black Zetsu was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha! I see. He must have believed those rumors and thought we were Konoha's pawns. Hahaha! How funny!"
Black Zetsu was gloating at first, and was overjoyed because Konoha was the one being blamed.
However, as he laughed, he suddenly fell silent again.
There was a time when being reduced to a "pawn of Konoha" was even an insult to the proud and arrogant him.
But now it has become a comfort...
"Damn it!"
Black Zetsu stopped laughing and cursed angrily.
After being in a state of silence for a while, Black Zetsu finally regained his spirit and continued to ask A Fei, "Did Obito succeed?"
Ah Fei spread his hands and said, "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"We are seriously short of manpower right now, and Obito hates us to the core. The White Zetsu we sent to monitor him will be hunted down to death if he is found with any trace, so we are not as fast as before in obtaining intelligence."
Black Zetsu cursed a few more times in hatred, and the pitcher plant on his head swayed in anger.
It had been less than half a year since Madara's death, and they had completely lost the calmness and relaxation they had in the past when they almost controlled the intelligence of the entire ninja world.
In the battle along the coast not long ago, they lost too much. After being in seclusion for a long time, Black Zetsu suddenly thought of this.
"Then can we guide Obito?"
"What?" Ah Fei turned his head and looked at him.
"He's causing trouble for Konoha now because he believes those rumors. If we can secretly guide him to discover the truth and confirm those speculations, does that mean we still have a chance to have normal contact with him?"
Black Zetsu became more and more excited as he spoke, and light gradually appeared in his eyes.
Black Zetsu continued, "We all know that Orochimaru did participate in the Wood Release experiment! As long as we can find a way to let Obito discover this, even if it's with false evidence, as long as he believes it, we will have a chance to divert Obito's hatred!"
Ah Fei did not comment, but just asked: "So what exactly do you plan to do?"
"Haha!" Black Zetsu immediately laughed sinisterly, "When the time comes, we will pretend to fight with Orochimaru and let Obito see it. He is already suspicious of Konoha, so as long as we try to deepen his doubts about the whole thing and hint to him that there is something else going on, there will always be a chance that he will accept us again!"
At that moment, Black Zetsu seemed to have regained his confidence as the manipulator behind the scenes.
He believed in Uchiha Madara's vision, and Obito would definitely become his hope to realize the Infinite Moon Reading! He would!
There is no time for them to hesitate now, just set off immediately when you think of it!
That day, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu arrived at the southwestern border of the Fire Country.
Orochimaru's residence was easy to find, and they soon found their target!
But they haven't seen Obito yet.
"That kid has supernatural powers and often disappears from our sight. Don't worry, this is normal. He must be nearby now." Ah Fei comforted.
Black Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground and opened the pitcher plant.
He had never taken action himself in the past, but this time, he was determined to do it himself.
Ah Fei sensed it and said, "Orochimaru is not here. There are only two little guys in the room. They are probably Orochimaru's disciples."
Black Zetsu said ruthlessly: "Killing Orochimaru's disciples will have the same effect. It will be enough to create the impression that there is a conflict or hidden secret between us and Konoha."
Then they immediately prepared to take action.
As a result, just as the black and white men were about to put their hands together to perform Wood Release, suddenly, a black vortex appeared around them.
Black Zetsu was slightly startled and realized that Obito had arrived.
But his hands did not stop moving. He was secretly determined to take a gamble.
He was betting that Obito now hated them and Konoha equally, and might not stop their attack on Orochimaru's disciples.
The result was unexpected—
"Stop it, you bastards!!"
Wood Release was used, and branches that sprang out from the ground destroyed Orochimaru's residence in the blink of an eye.
However, when Obito appeared, he rushed forward like a madman, and chose to rescue the two children in the house first.
Or to be more precise: his entire attention is on one of the children!
Black Zetsu was extremely confused at first, until he saw the face of the "disciple of Orochimaru", then he suddenly realized, and then he felt a chill rushing to his head!
How can this be? !
That face is exactly the same as Nohara Rin!
"Hualala!" After rescuing Rinpali, Obito turned back without hesitation, swung out the chains, and attacked Black Zetsu and Afei like a mad beast out of control.
"You guys really deserve to die!!!"
Before this, during the months when Madara rescued Obito and helped him recuperate, Obito had met Afei and Black Zetsu.
Originally, Black Zetsu hoped to muddy the waters, imply that there was another hidden story behind the whole matter, and use this life-saving favor to kidnap Obito again.
Unexpectedly, this time the result was counterproductive.
Not only did he fail to successfully frame Konoha and clear himself, but this action further ignited Obito's hatred towards them!
At that moment, Obito's Sharingan turned so red that it seemed like blood was about to drip out!
Looking at that eye, Hei Zetsu felt a chill all over his body!
He couldn't understand at all - where did this "Lin" in Orochimaru's house come from? !
