Orochimaru immediately laughed, "Kabuto, is there anyone in the Ninja World now who can defeat me?"
"No one."
Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses and echoed, "Since the Konoha Collapse Plan ended, every powerful ninja in the Ninja World should know that Lord Orochimaru has perfected the Reanimation Jutsu. Just the existence of the First Hokage and the Second Hokage alone is enough to place Orochimaru's strength at the pinnacle of the Ninja World."
"Now, I can even attack the Land of Rain, kill Pain of the Akatsuki, and take his Rinnegan! We should go to that location and see for ourselves!"
Orochimaru licked his lips and chuckled softly, "Even if someone wants to collaborate with me to kill Uchiha Obito, I also want to ambush him to seize his Mangekyo Sharingan! Plus, that location has White Zetsu, which is something we need..."
"Understood."
Kabuto nodded solemnly, "But Uchiha Obito's abilities are too strange, we might want to reveal Black Zetsu. On one hand, try to obtain information on Black Zetsu from Uchiha Obito, and on the other hand, find an opportunity to attack him!"
"Heh, maybe I've guessed who Black Zetsu is."
Orochimaru touched his arm, thinking of the Akatsuki's Zetsu, and lowered his head with a soft laugh, "But this suggestion is good. To counter Space-Time Ninjutsu, only Space-Time Ninjutsu can be effective."
The allure of White Zetsu for Orochimaru was simply too great; whether it was for Reanimation or Immortal Reanimation, these all required White Zetsu as a component.
Upon learning the location of White Zetsu, Orochimaru couldn't hold back and planned to go to the marked location on the map with Yakushi Kabuto.
Although Uchiha Obito is a guy with strange abilities, Orochimaru had some Kinjutsu at hand, and with the First and Second Hokage, he wasn't the least bit intimidated.
White Zetsu is related to immortality and science, and Orochimaru is willing to risk his life to obtain them!
After all, he has many lives.
Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto didn't need much preparation; they only brought two coffins sealed with the First and Second Hokage and headed directly to the location marked on the map.
White Zetsu's hidden base.
Uchiha Obito was still in seclusion here.
Apart from occasionally visiting Nohara Rin on memorial days, Uchiha Obito didn't bother with other troubles. All he had to do was wait.
Simply wait.
When the Eye of the Moon Plan starts capturing the Tailed Beasts, Uchiha Obito will leave here, find a way to work with Black Zetsu to help Akatsuki capture the Tailed Beasts.
Uchiha Obito was flipping through a scroll in his hand. Beside him was a flower pot in which a thorn was planted, and atop the thorn was a blooming white flower.
How could there be a white flower in a base buried deep underground?
This was something Uchiha Obito cultivated while practicing Wood Release Ninjutsu. It's hard to deny that years of seclusion have their benefits, making Uchiha Obito even more powerful.
"Obito, there's a problem."
A White Zetsu burrowed into Uchiha Obito's room, whispering, "We've just sensed two Chakras approaching here, and one of them is Orochimaru!"
"Hmm?"
Uchiha Obito slowly raised his head and curiously asked, "How could he find his way here? Are you sure he's not just passing by?"
"No, because his direction leads straight to our base."
White Zetsu immediately shook his head, as there were still many White Zetsu in slumber below, not yet awakened. On the surface, the base's fighting strength consisted only of Uchiha Obito.
Uchiha Obito raised an eyebrow and slowly put down the scroll, "It's okay, I'll take care of it, but you all should try to find out why Orochimaru discovered our base."
Just as Uchiha Obito was about to rise and leave the base to fight, another White Zetsu burrowed in: "Wait, we've just received more information, someone seems to be pursuing Orochimaru, it seems like it's that Uehara Naraku kid!"
"Uehara Naraku?"
A complex expression appeared on Uchiha Obito's face.
Back then, because he wanted to kill Uehara Naraku, he was expelled from the Akatsuki by Nagato and Konan, and even Black Zetsu couldn't tolerate his recklessness.
Later, it was heard that Uehara Naraku often praised him and repeatedly expressed that for the Eye of the Moon Plan, he had already forgiven Obito for attempting to murder him back then.
Judging from Uehara Naraku's actions, this kid seems to be someone easily persuaded, and from his behavior, he doesn't seem to have much of his own ideas either.
So for Uchiha Obito, he doesn't hold any hatred for Uehara Naraku.
Of course, Uchiha Obito doesn't like Uehara Naraku either, because he thinks Uehara Naraku is a brainless, incredibly lucky idiot.
Okay, maybe with a little intelligence and talent for Ninjutsu.
After all, even Black Zetsu has repeatedly praised Uehara Naraku's talent. You have to know that a kid without any bloodline limits or Secret Techniques actually had the strength to kill a Kage!
Moreover, when he killed the Fourth Kazekage, Uehara Naraku was only twelve years old; now at sixteen, he dared to audaciously assassinate the Third Hokage, and he succeeded!
These were irrelevant to Uchiha Obito.
As long as he wanted to, he could do it too.
After all, the Fourth Kazekage was always a useless piece of scrap metal, and the Third Hokage was already old. Besides, it was said that Uehara Naraku picked up the slack after the fierce battle between Orochimaru and the Third Hokage.
