Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Black Zetsu’s Day Off
All the news Kazuki was reading had been carefully selected by Kakuzu, considering that it would be useful to him. The situation in the shinobi world seemed increasingly tense; with Mito's death, internal conflicts and the ambition of the shinobi villages created an atmosphere where a war seemed inevitable.
Finally, there was a note.
[When you need my help, contact me, it's free.]
Kazuki took a piece of paper, wrote a reply, and handed it to the postal shinobi to take to Kakuzu. The note read: [If you ever need help, count on me. It will also be free.]
And he signed at the end: [A genuinely kind boss.]
Kazuki gestured for Shisui to come closer and handed him some of the money. "Go and share it with everyone."
Shisui looked at him worriedly. 'What could my brother be up to this time to get so much money?'
But Kazuki simply patted him on the head and headed towards Obito's house.
Thinking about Kaguya, Kazuki realized that it seemed like she hadn't talked to Uchiha Rin yet. How would she get along with Uchiha Obito?
After all, Kazuki had already made a plan in his mind and he himself is Kaguya's third son, and Black Zetsu can only be the fourth...
Perhaps Black Zetsu, Kazuki's younger brother or sister, can help him get in touch with Kaguya?
Kazuki continued on his way to Obito's house.
...
At that moment, Black Zetsu was complaining about his exhaustion to Obito, as if he were an ordinary girl, not realizing that Kazuki, who saw him as a younger brother or sister, was about to pay him a surprise visit…
Black Zetsu continued to complain to Uchiha Obito about the housework, then frowned and examined the burn marks on his arm and shook his head.
"Were you practicing those advanced fire release ninjutsu again? You need to relax a bit and not push yourself so hard."
"That Elder Setsuna, I always feel that this person has no good intentions. It's better to stay away from him, Obito…"
Uchiha Obito laughed. "Isn't this to make my strength improve faster, so that I can protect you?"
"I also noticed something strange about Elder Setsuna. Kazuki is a great person, but he always speaks badly of him…"
"But don't worry, Rin, I'm very powerful! I can handle all these!" Uchiha Obito patted his chest and guaranteed.
Black Zetsu silently applied ointment to Obito's arm and began massaging it with a pained expression.
Seeing Black Zetsu act like this, Uchiha Obito gave an involuntary smile, and the fatigue of a whole day of training disappeared.
Recently, Uchiha Setsuna had increased the intensity of Obito's training and also began visiting Black Zetsu at home, behaving like a kind old man, praising their relationship.
But in his words, he kept giving Uchiha Obito psychological hints.
For example, he had to protect Uchiha Rin, and he could not get such a girl back after losing her, and he had to remember the pride of the Uchiha clan, and he also secretly attacked Kazuki...
Uchiha Setsuna tried to use language as a weapon to provoke the relationship between Kazuki and Uchiha Obito and kept emphasizing that the revival of the Uchiha clan could only be carried out in a hawkish manner, and it was meaningless to compromise with Konoha.
On the other hand, Uchiha Setsuna constantly deepened Black Zetsu's position in Uchiha Obito's heart from a bystander's perspective with seemingly objective and neutral words.
Black Zetsu, who has been dealing with the Uchiha clan and Indra's reincarnation for thousands of years, saw the madness and paranoia hidden in Uchiha Setsuna's heart at a glance.
Whenever Uchiha Setsuna looked at Black Zetsu, his seemingly gentle and kind eyes were full of cruelty and violence.
Black Zetsu, who is proficient in human nature, especially Uchiha, looks at his disguise as if he is looking at a transparent person. After a little investigation of Uchiha Setsuna's background, he guessed all his thoughts.
An incompetent loser barking wildly, with neither strength nor future, but a heart full of anger that cannot be vented.
But his idea is somewhat similar to that of Uchiha Madara, both want to provoke Uchiha Obito's blackening and use him as his own chess piece...
However, Uchiha Madara was the one who sent out Black Zetsu, while Uchiha Setsuna was targeting Black Zetsu.
To Black Zetsu, both of their plans seemed equally clumsy, filled with glaring errors that almost made him laugh, as if they were ideas improvised on the spot.
The problem was that Uchiha Madara was the only one in the shinobi world who possessed the Rinnegan, ideal as a vessel to revive Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Even if Black Zetsu disagrees with Uchiha Madara's plan, he can only pinch his nose and help him clean up his ass, there is nothing he can do about it.
But Uchiha Setsuna, what the hell are you!
A mere old and confused three-tomoe dares to set his sights on its prey?
He's just looking for death.
Every time Uchiha Setsuna left Obito's house, Black Zetsu dispelled Uchiha Setsuna's verbal offensive with a few words and firmly controlled Obito's heart.
But at the same time, Uchiha Obito's favorability towards Kazuki also shocked Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu clearly remembered that Obito, with his obsession with Nohara Rin, once had clashes with Kazuki, and it was precisely Uchiha Setsuna who took advantage of that to brainwash Obito, achieving a remarkable effect.
But since his last meeting with Kazuki, Obito inexplicably considered him his best friend.
Black Zetsu suspected that even without his pillow wind to control Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Setsuna's words could not shake Kazuki's position in his heart.
Black Zetsu was a little apprehensive. Kazuki's method of manipulating people's hearts seemed to be no worse than his...
In theory, Black Zetsu did not want the relationship between Uchiha Obito and Kazuki to deteriorate.
Uchiha Obito was the chess piece he used to revive his mother, and Kazuki was the person chosen by Uchiha Madara. The two should have a cooperative relationship in the future.
In Black Zetsu's eyes, Kazuki was a person with a secret...
As the third son of Otsutsuki Kaguya, Black Zetsu had sensed a strange energy in Kazuki's chakra the day he lost control, indicating that he was no simple Uchiha…
Recently in Konoha, rumors were circulating that Kazuki had outstanding talent and had even learned the Adamantine Sealing Chains from the Uzumaki clan.
But Black Zetsu did not think so...
Did he really learn it? Instead of really having the blood of the Uzumaki clan?
Black Zetsu had been waiting for a secret opportunity to meet Kazuki up close and find out the unknown chakra.
"Let me tell you that lately..." Black Zetsu and Obito leaned on the sofa. With the financial support of Kazuki, the chaebol, their material life has improved.
Black Zetsu covered up the hardships and troubles of the past thousand years, pretending to be unhappy in daily life, and told Uchiha Obito all about it, expressing his inner pressure.
Even he himself had to admit that chatting with Uchiha Obito was indeed a very enjoyable thing.
As a humanoid creature, Black Zetsu naturally has the desire to communicate.
It's just that in front of the successive generations of Indra, it can only disguise itself and can't say what's in its heart at all.
But in front of Uchiha Obito...
Black Zetsu was surprised to find that even if he didn't play the role of Uchiha Rin, Uchiha Obito would look at him with a smile, just like a loyal pet dog, listening to his owner complain about his troubles and fatigue.
This was an experience Black Zetsu had never had before, a feeling that it had become a living person...
Just as Black Zetsu was chatting with Obito, a soft knock was heard at the door.
"Is it that old man Uchiha Setsuna again..." Black Zetsu complained in a low voice, motioning Uchiha Obito to open the door.
Uchiha Obito shook his head helplessly, but when he opened the door, he shouted in surprise: "Kazuki, why are you here?!"
Kazuki stood at the door with beautifully packaged food and gifts and a gentle smile.
"Obito, it's been a while since we last saw each other, so I came to see how you were doing…"
"Why? You don't welcome me?"
He handed the gifts to Obito, joking. "If you're busy, I can come back another day."
"What are you talking about, Kazuki, I'm so happy that you're here!" Obito took him by the arm and laughed. "Look, you come here, and you bring so many things!"
Kazuki took off his shoes and entered the house, surprised to see the place.
Clean, tidy, generous, and aesthetically pleasing, with a kind of antique beauty.
"She's my... my..." Obito, his cheeks slightly flushed, introduced her to Black Zetsu.
"I know she's yours, Obito…" Kazuki chuckled and made a joke with Uchiha Obito, which made his face completely red, but he also smiled.
"Hello, Rin, how are you recently?" Kazuki greeted Black Zetsu politely, their gazes meeting in a moment of silent cordiality.
"Thank you for your concern, Kazuki-kun..." Black Zetsu examined Kazuki's face and felt a chill.
For someone who claimed to know the Uchiha clan inside out, Kazuki's face reflected only warmth and sincerity, without a trace of falsehood.
Let's not talk about Kazuki's secret, just this method of disguising emotions made Black Zetsu start to take Kazuki seriously.
