Black Zetsu was very surprised by White Zetsu's first sentence.
"Uchiha Tomoki said he had a message for the person behind me. I thought about it and decided to come to you first, Black Zetsu!"
Uchiha Tomoki?!
Black Zetsu was also contemplating how to contact Yuuki. Through previous probes, Black Zetsu's plan was to start with Natsuri.
With Yuuki leaving the village so openly this time, Black Zetsu felt an opportunity was coming.
As for the White Zetsu sent to monitor Yuuki this time, Black Zetsu was also testing whether Yuuki was the real body.
After all, there was an instance where White Zetsu monitored Yuuki but didn't disappear, which was when Kakashi, Zabuza, and Kisame were capturing Sasori.
During the subsequent monitoring, they observed Yuuki suddenly disappearing, only then realizing that White Zetsu had escaped that time because it had encountered a Shadow Clone.
This time, Black Zetsu sent White Zetsu and arranged for it to observe from close range, precisely to determine whether the one who appeared was the real body.
If it was, Black Zetsu would have to find a way to instigate Obito to cause some trouble in Konoha and, incidentally, mess with Natsuri.
However, when Black Zetsu heard the message from White Zetsu, he was half-believing and half-doubting. Could this be a conspiracy by Uchiha Tomoki?
After all, they had once mistakenly believed that the Shadow Clone letting White Zetsu go was a sign of goodwill, which resulted in many White Zetsu being sacrificed for nothing.
This time, could it be that Uchiha Tomoki couldn't catch White Zetsu and deliberately wanted him to deliver himself?
But when White Zetsu relayed the message Uchiha Tomoki wanted to convey, most of the suspicion in Black Zetsu's heart disappeared!
The crucial information Yuuki wanted to convey was simply one word: 'Stele'.
Black Zetsu immediately understood and began to fill in the blanks.
Uchiha Tomoki must have seen some ambiguous information on the Stele.
After all, Black Zetsu had personally altered that Stele, and before possessing the Rinnegan, one should not be able to know about the Eye of the Moon Plan.
As for why Uchiha Tomoki was so certain that White Zetsu would be related to the Stele, this was something Black Zetsu couldn't figure out.
However, none of that was important!
What was important was that he could finally connect with Yuuki. As long as he could connect, Black Zetsu was confident he could make Yuuki his helper.
After all, when it came to deceiving people, Black Zetsu considered himself a professional.
White Zetsu saw Black Zetsu fall silent after hearing Yuuki's message.
Tilting its head, White Zetsu pondered with its empty mind.
Stele?
What was that?
Why did Black Zetsu seem so concerned?
Seeing Black Zetsu remain silent for a long time, White Zetsu broke the silence and asked.
"Black Zetsu, who should I tell this message to, Obito or Nagato?"
White Zetsu's question interrupted Black Zetsu's internal calculations for his grand deception, and he said to White Zetsu.
"You don't need to tell anyone. It's enough that I know this message!"
White Zetsu heard this and wanted to leave, but Black Zetsu actively attached himself to this White Zetsu and took control of its body.
"Tomorrow, take me to see Uchiha Tomoki!"
The half-faced White Zetsu asked in surprise.
"Black Zetsu, aren't you afraid this is a trap? After all, Uchiha Tomoki's message is so strange!"
"Shut up, White Zetsu, don't disturb my thoughts!"
A trap?
No kind of trap can hold me. This was Black Zetsu's absolute confidence in himself.
----------
Back at the inn, Yuuki also stared blankly at the ceiling of his room.
He pondered how to phrase things.
After all, Yuuki wasn't sure who White Zetsu would deliver the message to.
Both Obito and Black Zetsu were possibilities. As for Nagato, it was highly unlikely, but Yuuki still had to prepare corresponding explanations to avoid being flustered when the time came.
As for whether there would be danger?
Yuuki felt that with his 'PY' ability, even if they couldn't agree, it wouldn't escalate to a fight.
The most crucial issue was to find a suitable excuse to join their great cause!
As long as he could establish contact with them, Yuuki felt he had ways to make the Eye of the Moon Plan proceed at his own pace.
After all, when it came to deceiving people, although Yuuki wasn't a professional, the other party was certainly not good at it.
A filial son Black Zetsu, a foolish Obito, and a chuunibyou Nagato.
These guys were far inferior to Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, weren't they? The reason they could cause trouble was entirely due to the asymmetry caused by information disparity.
And their advantage in information completely disappeared in front of Yuuki.
If Yuuki couldn't handle such characters, he would have wasted his status as a transmigrator.
Finally, Yuuki silently said to himself.
However, I still hope it's the filial son who comes!
