In the Moon.
A murderous look flashed across Toneri's face as he monitored the Shinobi World.
During this period, he saw people on the ground go through several crises, and he became more convinced that such a world should be destroyed.
Combined with the observations of his ancestors...
The people of Earth would always fight amongst themselves.
It seemed...
This world had no reason to exist anymore.
If they were just going to die in wars anyway, he might as well give them a quick and painless end.
Toneri activated the Giant Tenseigan and began to gather an immense amount of Chakra, preparing to obliterate the entire planet in a single strike.
Black Zetsu, who was far away on the ground, looked up at the moon and suddenly felt a very strong sense of crisis in his heart.
After Black Zetsu looked at the moon for a while, he found that there seemed to be flashes of green light on it from time to time.
'Something's wrong!'
'Something is very wrong!!'
As an old monster who has lived in the Shinobi World for a thousand years, Black Zetsu immediately realized that something beyond his control was happening on the moon.
'No...!'
'I need to send Obito up there to investigate!'
Black Zetsu thought to himself, then dived into the ground to look for Obito.
The world had been plagued by disasters lately.
If there were changes on the moon before this, he might not have taken it to heart.
But now...
He had to be cautious!
And most importantly...
He vaguely remembered that Hamura had taken some of his descendants to the moon...
'Damn it!'
'This was bad!'
Black Zetsu didn't know why the moon was glowing ominously, but he was certain that this was not a good sign for his plans!
Before long, Black Zetsu found Obito.
"Obito!"
"Something huge is happening on the moon!"
"If we don't deal with it..."
"Madara-sama's Eye of the Moon Plan will most likely not be completed."
Obito: "..."
After hearing what Black Zetsu said, Obito really wanted to curse.
'Goddammit!'
'Why did everything keep going wrong?'
'And they can also affect my Eye of the Moon Plan...'
But when he thought that Rin was still waiting for him in the New World, Obito forced himself to calm down.
"On the moon..."
"What's going on?"
If there is a problem with the moon, it will indeed be a serious trouble, after all, he will have to rely on this thing to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
If it suddenly disappeared...
He'd have to find a replacement.
Black Zetsu was silent for a while, then said something that made Obito's fists stiffen.
"I don't know..."
"Anyway, I found that the moon is glowing green, and it's definitely not normal."
"Go up and take a look first."
Obito resisted the urge to strangle him, then walked out of the cave, and looked up at the moon.
But when Obito saw that the moon had turned green, he was stunned.
"DAMN IT!"
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON NOW?!"
Even though he didn't understand anything, he knew that the current situation was very bad.
If the problem with the moon is not handled properly this time, the Eye of the Moon Plan could be ruined at its core.
"Stop yelling and follow me."
Black Zetsu knew a secret path to the moon and guided Obito to go there immediately.
…
Two hours later, Obito stood on the moon's surface and looked at the surrounding buildings, and suddenly fell into confusion.
"This..."
"What the hell is this?!"
"Black Zetsu… are you hiding something from me?!"
Obito was now very suspicious of the guy in front of him.
He had never heard of any living beings on the moon.
Black Zetsu, who was nearby, was already racking his brain frantically.
He had no idea how to explain to Obito what happened on the moon. And if Obito knew the truth, he would definitely continue to ask questions.
Then the lie of him being Uchiha Madara's will would be exposed in an instant.
Fortunately, at this time, a large number of puppets appeared around, interrupting the conversation between the two and allowed Black Zetsu to temporarily escape from the predicament.
These puppets started attacking Obito with weapons in hand.
Not only that, more and more puppets continued to emerge from the buildings and gathered towards Obito.
"Fire Release: Blast Wave Wild Dance!"
Obito rolled over to avoid the attack, jumped into the air, and spit out spiraling fire at the puppets.
The flames, amplified by the space distortion, instantly reduced countless puppets to scrap.
Tap…
At this moment, a boy with white eyes appeared in front of Obito.
He looked coldly at Obito, as if looking at the weeds on the side of the road.
Toneri wasn't the least bit surprised by the masked man's sudden appearance.
After all, destroying the world was never going to be easy.
"Give up."
"Your efforts are meaningless."
"In one hour, the planet you live on..."
"...will vanish like dust in the wind."
"Your world's destruction is already inevitable."
The boy's words sent Obito into a rage.
'Damn it!!'
'I knew it would be like this!!'
'Why did someone else have to steal my job?!'
'Who gave him the right?!'
Obito felt both frustrated and angry.
After a long pause, he finally let out a single sentence, "This world...will not be destroyed!"
After saying this, Obito disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of the other party in the blink of an eye.
Toneri sighed and immediately met his attack. And so, the two clashed in a fierce battle on the moon's surface.
…
Mount Myoboku.
Jiraiya sat with a pen and paper in hand, his eyes were dull and he made obscene laughs from time to time.
He couldn't help but feel giddy when he thought of Tsunade taking his flowers away in the end.
"Hehehe..."
"Naruto, don't you think I'm halfway to success?"
Naruto: "..."
He really admired this guy. Ever since returning from Konoha, the old man had been completely spaced out.
And now he had the nerve to ask him for validation?
'Halfway to success?!'
'I think you're going to be single for the rest of your life.'
"Tch!"
"Don't talk to me. I don't even want to look at your cowardly face right now."
They had literally gotten all the way to Tsunade and Naruto had even set up the perfect moment. It could be said that everything was ready except for Jiraiya's confession.
But who knew that the old man would be so cowardly at the critical moment.
If only he had shown half the confidence he had in brothels, he wouldn't have been single for so long.
"Go away!"
"What does a brat like you know about adult relationships?"
When Jiraiya heard Naruto scolding him, he waved his hand to signal him to go play somewhere else.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Adult relationships are so complicated."
Naruto rolled his eyes and plopped down next to Hinata, wrapping an arm around her waist while smugly side-eyeing Jiraiya.
As if to say, 'Yes, I don't know anything about adult relationships, but at least I'm not a single old man like you.'
When Jiraiya saw this scene, his face twisted in agony, and his whole body felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten dog shit.
'Damn brat!!'
'How can you bring your girlfriend along when you train?!'
'Damn it!'
Jiraiya, feeling very unbalanced inside, snorted coldly and stood up to leave.
If he stayed any longer, he'd be force-fed so much sweetness from this couple that he wouldn't need to eat for a week.
"Naruto-kun..."
"The moon is so beautiful tonight!"
Hinata pointed at the sky, where the moon glowed an eerie shade of green, her voice filled with excitement.
Naruto also looked at the green moon in the sky and didn't think there was anything wrong, but he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Toneri on the moon.
"Alas, there is no such thing as a peaceful and tranquil life in this world."
"It's just that someone out there is carrying the burden for us."
After saying that, Naruto added something in his mind, 'Toneri, keep working hard. In a few years, I'll get your sister-in-law a pair of Tenseigan.'
