Having encountered so many troubles, Obito's ability to persevere until now was entirely due to his firm will.
Now that he finally had his own power, he had finally taken a step forward, so he naturally wasn't willing to continue doing nothing.
And he believed that such power would be no problem against any Tailed Beast.
Even if…
Even Takemi wouldn't be impossible!
Takemi was very strong. He had witnessed how Takemi had thrashed Nagato, but he felt that if it were him, it shouldn't be a problem.
After all, with the absolute defense of Susanoo, he would definitely be able to hold out.
"Alright, I'll assign teams and then carry out the mission."
Black Zetsu glanced at Obito. He worried that he was overconfident, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
"Besides that, I think we also need to add some stronger personnel."
"Stronger personnel?"
Black Zetsu's words made Obito and Nagato frown, while Orochimaru just smiled without speaking.
"Are you talking about Madara?"
Obito seemed to realize something, which made him frown.
"Is there a need to awaken him now?"
"It's just Edo Tensei, and at this stage, we indeed need a stronger person."
Black Zetsu spoke directly. Although he didn't want to tell Obito, it was better to be clear at this time.
"And as a fellow Uchiha, he can give you more help, and with your combined strength, you can accomplish even more."
"Is that so?"
Obito pondered for a moment, then finally nodded.
"Alright, you guys handle it. Summoning him isn't a big deal."
Although Obito was internally resistant, he ultimately didn't object, he was terrifyingly strong now.
He didn't need to worry so much. Even if Madara appeared, so what?
"Edo Tensei isn't a complete resurrection, and it's better to gain more of his experience, and besides…"
He felt that the power within him was far from being digested. He could become stronger sooner or later.
Madara, so what?
'The Ten-Tails' shell is actually here.'
And in a place they couldn't see, Isshiki's breathing was somewhat weak, but his gaze was fixed on everything before him.
'Their goal seems to be to awaken this Ten-Tails. Interesting, this also saves me some effort.'
He didn't lack the Ten-Tails, but an extra Ten-Tails wasn't a bad thing. What he was most concerned about now was Obito's situation, but to his delight, he was performing quite well.
'The conversion is good. Has the power already been activated just by implanting the Karma?' Isshiki thought to himself.
This Obito seemed even better than he had imagined.
'The body has undergone some modifications, but such modifications have helped me greatly, this can save me a lot of trouble.'
Isshiki took a deep breath, he could already feel his lifespan nearing its end. But at this moment, he had put his mind at ease. He was sure that Obito wouldn't make him suffer like Jigen.
In the future, he could return to his peak state by using Obito's body.
'It's just a pity that these powers aren't yours, but mine.'
'You are not qualified to activate such power, but…'
'I'll let you be happy for now, because you won't have the chance in the future.'
While Obito and the others were planning their future actions, in Konoha, Takemi and the others had already finished their gathering.
Looking at the silent Sasuke and Naruto, it was clear that Takemi had messed with their minds a bit. Not just the two of them, Choji also had a bitter expression. Because of Takemi's words, he felt his brain wasn't big enough.
"Um, senpai…"
When everyone was about to part ways, Choji rubbed his face and said awkwardly.
"My clan's secret technique is not to be passed down."
"Huh?"
Takemi tilted his head, then grinned mischievously.
"What are you thinking?"
"Huh? Is it his medicine?"
Shikamaru paused when he heard his future boss's words, and subconsciously said, "I don't think I've heard of that function."
"Sigh, what's wrong with Konoha's education these days?"
Takemi looked at Shikamaru with a strange expression, then finally shook his head helplessly.
"What have you all been learning? How did you turn into this?"
"…"
Shikamaru fell silent. He suddenly understood why his father had told him that his days would be difficult when he would take over in the future.
No, you were the one who induced it, so why are you turning the tables now?
"And speaking of which, isn't your clan's deer antler even better?"
"…"
"Why don't you get them some and see how it works?"
"…"
"Or, save some for me too?"
Listening to Takemi's words, Shikamaru didn't want to speak anymore.
He just felt that his future boss was a bit outrageous, how did he even think of this stuff?
"Alright, everyone get ready to go back. I'm leaving too."
Takemi glanced at everyone, then shrugged and smiled.
"We'll probably be busy from now on, so everyone get some rest early."
Takemi had his own matters. Since he had decided to nurture White Zetsu, he would definitely act on it.
Besides, he was also curious what kind of White Zetsu would be produced, especially if Uchiha and Senju powers were added.
'Will I get something even more absurd than the current White Zetsu?'
He didn't plan to mass-produce this stuff. He just wanted to see the best possible outcome.
And there were quite a few rogue ninjas in the Ninja World. He could just grab a heinous one and conduct some experiments.
"Takemi…"
Just as everyone was about to part ways, Ino suddenly spoke softly.
"Can you walk me home?"
"…"
Takemi snapped back to reality. He was slightly stunned, then his expression turned a bit strange.
This flower, is she really going to take a step towards the sky?
He looked back at the others. He found that Neji had already left with Hinata and Hanabi, who was pouting and looking in his direction.
Shikamaru pulled Choji and left without looking back, while Kiba and Shino followed Sakura, who was pulling Karin, and turned to leave.
Naruto raised an eyebrow at him with a mischievous grin, and Sasuke occasionally looked at him curiously.
This made Takemi scratch his head, and after a while, he finally smiled and said, "Alright, anyway, the wind is howling tonight…"
