At the border of the Country of Fire, near a secret base of the Akatsuki Organization.
Su Xiao stood in front of a rock wall, pressing the 'Ring of the Void' in his hand into a groove on the wall.
Rumble...
The rock wall rose, revealing a passage leading into the mountain. As he walked in, the rock wall slowly descended behind him, shrouding the passage in darkness.
Muffled voices could be heard coming from within the secret base, and Su Xiao followed the sound.
"Lies... they must be lies. These are obviously falsehoods. Itachi protecting me? Nonsense, I almost got killed by him several times."
Er Zhuzi's roar echoed from within the base, as if Obito was explaining Itachi's truth to Sasuke.
"If Itachi was serious, you'd be dead by now."
Obito's voice came through, his tone calm.
