“Shin-sama, please calm down!” White Zetsu pleaded, watching Shin hold Obito by the throat. He was afraid Shin would kill him.
“Shin-sama, his death wouldn’t benefit you,” Black Zetsu also said.
He was the most worried. Obito was crucial to his plan. He couldn’t let anything happen to Obito before Madara was revived.
“I’ll spare you for Kamui’s sake. Consider it a pardon for attacking me.”
Shin tossed Obito aside like a rag doll. He crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
“Cough, cough.”
Obito clutched his throat, glaring at Shin with a mixture of anger and fear.
“Inform me of your plans. All of them.” Shin looked at Black Zetsu and Obito.
“Are you planning to participate, Shin-sama?” Black Zetsu was worried. Would Shin disrupt his plan?
“Do you have a problem with that?” Shin’s sharp gaze pierced through Black Zetsu, making him unable to meet Shin’s eyes.
“No.”
Black Zetsu realized Shin was more dangerous than it had anticipated. Just his gaze was oppressive.
He hoped the plan would succeed. Once Kaguya was revived, Uzumaki Shin wouldn’t be a threat.
Black Zetsu believed his mother was invincible. No one could defeat her. She was a True Goddess.
Shin left. His main goal was to copy Obito’s Kamui, and he had achieved that.
——
After Shin left, Obito got up, his face filled with anger.
“Obito, I advise you not to do anything you’ll regret. You’re not a match for Uzumaki Shin,” Black Zetsu said.
“Hmph, Aren’t you Madara’s will? Why are you so spineless in front of him?” Obito scoffed.
“I’m Madara’s will, but I’m not Madara.”
“Obito, Black Zetsu’s right. Even Madara-sama was wary of Uzumaki Shin. Frankly, you’re not strong enough to challenge him.”
White Zetsu’s words were harsh, almost making Obito explode.
“If you want to become stronger, I can give you some advice. Retrieve your other eye. Only with both eyes can you unleash the true power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.”
Black Zetsu said. He wanted Obito to become stronger.
The stronger Obito was, the easier it would be to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan and revive Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
“Don’t mention that again.” Obito glared at Black Zetsu, silencing it.
Though he had seen Kakashi kill Rin with his own eyes, he still couldn’t bring himself to harm his former friend and teammate. Rin wasn’t his only love; he also cared deeply for Kakashi.

“Shin, where did you go?”
Shin had just returned home when Kushina looked at him suspiciously, like she was interrogating a criminal.
She even leaned closer and sniffed him.
“What are you doing?” Shin asked, speechless.
“It seems you didn’t sneak out to meet another girl,” Kushina said.
“You’re delusional. Why would I go looking for other women when I have you all?”
Shin flicked her forehead. Kushina rubbed her head, pouting.
“Kushina’s suspicion isn’t unreasonable. The honeymoon phase doesn’t last forever,” Tsunade said.
“And Shin is the type to act on his impulses,” Mikoto added.
“…..”
“My reputation isn’t very good, is it?” Shin sighed dramatically. He didn’t think his image was that bad.
He sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, “I actually went out to do something. I forgot to tell you guys.”
“What was it?” Kushina asked curiously.
Kushina was always curious. Shin didn’t hide it from them. It wasn’t anything shady.
If he did hide it, they would be even more suspicious.
“Madara Uchiha is dead. Zetsu came to tell me, and I went to see the pawn he chose.”
“Madara Uchiha is dead?”
Tsunade was happy to hear that. She had been waiting for Madara to die for a long time.
If Madara had wanted to, he could have lived for a few more years. But he probably didn’t want to live like that anymore, so he had made his preparations and died peacefully.
“Who’s the pawn Madara chose?”
“Uchiha Obito. He’s a member of the Uchiha Clan, Minato Namikaze’s student. A hidden genius.”
Obito might have been a loser in the Academy, but he was actually a genius.
He had awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan right away, then the Mangekyō Sharingan.
“Where are Konan and Mei?” Shin hadn’t seen them since he returned.
“They went to train. You know how diligent Konan is. And Mei is also working hard, probably because of you,” Mikoto said with a smile.
“Because of me?” Shin looked at her in confusion. What did Mei Terumī’s training have to do with him?
“You forgot? You kept saying she was weak. So she wants to prove herself. I think she might have a crush on you.”
Tsunade’s gaze sharpened.
“Nonsense. I didn’t notice anything,” Shin ignored Tsunade’s glare and shook his head. He hadn’t noticed any romantic interest from Mei.
