"Again?" On the moon, three Ōtsutsuki Elders gathered. Their expressions were grim because the power of the Tenseigan had been activated once more. For a moment, they wondered who the person activating the Tenseigan's power was, and what his objective was. What was the meaning of this, happening every now and then?! "However, this time the activated power isn't as great as before." The Great elder's ancient Byakugan showed some anger, but also some relief. "Last time, he almost destroyed the Tenseigan!" "So, what's his goal? Last time, he seemed like he wanted to destroy something?" The third elder was still annoyed, but thankfully the second elder spoke up at this moment. "No matter what his objective is, his control over the Tenseigan is becoming more skilled, and his authority is getting higher. We probably can't stop him anymore." "Then what do you propose?" The third elder looked at him unhappily, and the Great elder also turned his head. He pondered for a moment before speaking, "We can first observe his objective. If it doesn't significantly affect us, we can temporarily ignore him." "Don't rush, let me finish. Our time is running out, and we still need to teach Toneri." "If we keep getting distracted by such matters, it's not good for us or for Toneri." "As long as it's confirmed that he's not trying to destroy the Tenseigan, or doing anything outrageous, we won't restrict him too much." "At the same time, we can slowly investigate his identity, which can serve as an early warning for Toneri." At this point, he paused, then continued, "Instead of constantly wasting energy on him, I'd rather dedicate all our remaining time to Toneri." "Great Elder, didn't you say that Toneri is our future..." — — — "Black Zetsu, why do I feel like you've been restless lately?" "Stop bothering me, and maybe I'll feel better." In the Land of Hot Water, Black Zetsu felt irritated by the voice of his White Zetsu half, but he ultimately didn't lose his temper with the idiot. "Too many things have happened, you wouldn't understand." Black Zetsu had been quite annoyed lately. After all, he felt like he had encountered a ghost. That Takemi was truly baffling. He felt that guy was off, even at one point suspecting if he was from the moon's branch. But he couldn't find any evidence, and the situation in Sunagakure last time was too peculiar. "Was that due to the ley line, or something else?" Black Zetsu looked up at the moon. There were too many messy things, making him paranoid now. "I don't understand what you think about all day. Wouldn't it be better to just be happy every day?" White Zetsu didn't know Black Zetsu's thoughts, he said with a grin. "Also, it seems we haven't found that Hiruko yet. Obito won't get angry again, will he? He's so scary." "..." Black Zetsu shook his head. He wished his mind was empty, but could it be? Black Zetsu said, "Let's leave Hiruko's matter for now. Let's go check on Obito's side. Itachi also has a move. We must pay attention. Where are they now?" "Land of Fire, but..." Before he could finish, Black Zetsu had already taken him and submerged into the ground, then swiftly headed towards the Land of Fire. "Hey, I wasn't finished, Black Zetsu." White Zetsu grumbled unhappily, while Black Zetsu was somewhat agitated. "We'll talk later, let's hurry." "Oh." Seeing this, White Zetsu could only accelerate the activation of the Mayfly Technique. Before long, they finally arrived at their destination. "Hm? What's going on?" But as they ascended to the surface, Black Zetsu suddenly felt something was wrong. Boom— Even underground, he could hear a roar, and he also had a feeling that the ground was shaking. "Didn't I keep trying to tell you?" White Zetsu blinked innocently. "But you kept telling me to hurry first." "...What exactly happened?" Black Zetsu's eyes widened. He inexplicably felt a strong sense of familiarity. White Zetsu said with a grin, "Obito and the others encountered a powerful enemy. He's not from Konoha, but he's very, very terrifying." As they poked their heads out of the ground, White Zetsu pointed upwards. "Look, he's right there." Following the direction White Zetsu pointed, Black Zetsu saw an incredibly dazzling blue light flashed across the sky. Boom— The next moment, a piercing roar exploded. Immediately after, he saw a half-giant radiating red Chakra heavily slam into the ground. "Susanoo?" Black Zetsu was greatly astonished. He was all too familiar with Susanoo. He didn't know how many Susanoo he had seen. However, he couldn't recall many that had been beaten to such a state. Boom— Before he could think further, another muffled sound echoed. He saw immense Water Chakra transform into a giant dragon heading towards the figure in the sky. "Please don't try to fight me with such childish things. Haven't you learned your lesson from before?" The voice was clear and resonant. The next instant, a blue light screen appeared, and the massive water dragon was deconstructed and absorbed. Then, the white figure flickered slightly, disappearing the moment Obito emerged from the Kamui dimension. However, at this point, the red Susanoo stood up again. Boom... Boom... Boom— The four figures engaged in a chaotic battle. The once majestic and towering Fire Temple had already been reduced to ruins. With a sweep of Susanoo's long blade, various towers were knocked to the ground. Kisame and Obito were also constantly attacking from the side. The roars were deafening, and huge tremors, accompanied by sky-high dust, swept in all directions. "What in the world is this?" Black Zetsu was dumbfounded, he felt like he could barely speak. Although it was three against one, how could he not see that one person was pressing down on three in a brutal beating?! But looking at that white figure, he felt his body trembling. This guy, could it be— Meanwhile, on the other side, as Obito and the others appeared, the monks of the Fire Temple immediately evacuated with Chiriku and Sora. "Chief Monk, who exactly are they?" Seeing their once tall and majestic temple reduced to ruins, and watching the figures battling in the distance, someone finally couldn't help but ask. "I don't know either, but we should leave quickly." Chiriku spoke weakly. He hadn't even had a chance to act before he was instantly dealt with. Such a disparity made him realize that they should not stay here at all. Feeling the ground-shaking tremors and seeing the shockwaves of countless fragments and flying stones, he couldn't help but sigh. Perhaps the only good thing was that 'Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki' had no intention of killing. "At least, even Sora is still alive..." While Chiriku was lamenting, the situation of Obito and the others was exceptionally dire. "This guy..." The three of them were in an extremely sorry state at this moment, but they still had to pantingly resist Takemi's attacks. Kisame was covered in scars, and Samehada seemed to be sticking out its tongue in his hand. Itachi's eyes were filled with blood, and his Susanoo was tattered beyond repair. After all, he himself could barely stand. He had tried Tsukuyomi, but it hadn't worked. He had been forced to use Susanoo to this extent, and he was already weak enough.
