"Finally caught you, kid." Black Zetsu took a sip of tea, narrowed his eyes looking at Tobi who had just walked in holding a stack of drawing paper, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned into a fierce smile, and said, "Let's see where you hide this time?"
"Wh wh what do you want?!" Tobi, seeing Black Zetsu before him, was startled inside, all the drawing paper in his hands scattering to the floor, and he said panicked, "This is the Land of Whirlpools. I am a lawful citizen protected by the laws of the Land of Whirlpools. What you are doing is against the law of the Land of Whirlpools."
He looked with bitter anguish at Black Zetsu, who was unconcernedly sipping his tea...
"Trespassing is illegal. I advise you to turn yourself in quickly!"
He had been hiding for over half a year, leaving early and returning late every day, sticking to crowded places, precisely because he was worried about being found by Black Zetsu. He never expected Black Zetsu to directly pick the lock and slip in this time. He had renovated and rebuilt this house; Black Zetsu definitely didn't have a key for this place.
So...
Tobi felt the phone in his pocket, 'Should I call the police?'
"I advise you not to make any rash moves." Black Zetsu ignored Tobi's action, took a sip of hot tea, and said with a calm face, "Right now, the Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools is my father!"
If you dare call the police, don't blame me for being ruthless.
"..."
I have something in my heart I don't know if I should say, do you know, do you know?!
Tobi sighed, looking at Black Zetsu's ugly mug, and simply didn't know what to say. Remember, his loan wasn't even paid off yet!
'This world changes too fast, I just don't get it, alright!'
He changed jobs and worked for over ten years, only to wake up one day and have the manager from his previous company tell him, 'The company you work for now was opened by my dad!'
Screw your grandpa!!!
The original errand boy, who had submitted to power, suddenly transformed, instantly becoming part of a story about a filial son helping his dad.
He sighed...
"Can you tell me what exactly happened back then?"
Why did things change so much?
'I can't accept it!'
However...
"Hmph!" Black Zetsu snorted coldly, curled his lips disdainfully, and said lightly, "You are not qualified to know."
I'm completely baffled too, you know?
You know?
One moment I'm shouting, 'Mom, someone is bullying me.' The next moment, your mother looks at that man with emotion, tears, and longing, and says to you, 'This is your father!'
That feeling is something I never want to recall again.
Although, thinking about it, working for my father is normal, it still feels a bit strange inside. Damn it, I actually watched my own father grow up with my own eyes!
What exactly happened? He still hasn't figured it out!
Is it like the cycle of reincarnation with Asura and Indra?
No wonder that Uzumaki... Father was so unsparing with him back then!
Black Zetsu looked at Tobi expressionlessly, "Not planning to run now?"
"How could I? Still need to make a living." Tobi scratched his head, showed a silly smile, and said sheepishly, "What are your orders?"
Inside, he curled his lips disdainfully. He's just a loser relying on his dad!
And if you think about it this way...
Itachi would have to call him 'stupid uncle', but Black Zetsu is also Itachi's older brother, also a child of Lord Jun, so that means he is...
Black Zetsu's uncle?!
The more Tobi thought about it, the sillier his smile became, seeming to carry a hint of ill intent.
"Why do I feel like you're thinking about something bad?" Black Zetsu frowned and said, "It gives me the urge to hit you."
"No, no!" Tobi quickly snapped back to attention, straightened up, and said solemnly, "The... the scenery outside is really nice, I absolutely was not!!"
Can't think about it anymore. If I keep thinking, I'm really done for!
"Whatever, you can't cause any trouble now anyway." Black Zetsu slightly raised the corners of his mouth, put down the teacup, stood up, and with a proud smile, said, "Trouble you to come with me immediately!"
"???" Tobi looked at Black Zetsu, puzzled, and said, "Where to?"
"According to the investigation, I suspect you have connections with foreign reactionary forces, intending to harm the interests of the Land of Whirlpools." Black Zetsu held his head high and said coldly, "Please come with me now!"
"You are..." Tobi, hearing Black Zetsu's words, was immediately stunned, and said, "If I remember correctly, according to the laws of the Land of Whirlpools, only relevant administrative personnel have the authority to arrest and detain. What you are doing is illegal."
Even the son of the Land of Whirlpools Daimyo doesn't have the right to act recklessly.
"Heh heh!" Black Zetsu revealed a mysterious smile and said, "Currently, I am the President of the Land of Whirlpools News Agency, and also..." He pulled out a credential, "The Director of the Intelligence Agency. I am qualified."
How amusing, did you think I memorized all those laws for nothing?
"..." Tobi was stunned for a moment, looked at the credential in Black Zetsu's hand, then at Black Zetsu, and shouted, "You, you are abusing your power for personal revenge, it's illegal, it's against the rules!"
Has the world changed so fast? It's only been a few years since we last met, and Black Zetsu has already learned to use such underhanded methods?
"Don't worry, if the investigation shows it wasn't you..." Black Zetsu curled his lips, waved his hand, and several White Zetsu clones wearing black suits emerged from the ground, grabbing Tobi. He said righteously, "We will let you out then. We would never wrong a good person, nor let a bad person go."
"I'm wronged!" Seeing no escape, Tobi quickly shouted loudly, "This is a wrongful accusation, it's abuse of power for personal revenge! I, I want to see Lord Jun! I've shed blood and made contributions for the Land of Whirlpools, you can't do this!"
As long as he made a big scene, Black Zetsu definitely wouldn't dare to mess around!
"Gag him, take him away!" Black Zetsu frowned, waved his hand dismissively, and said, "Hurry up!"
Must be fast, otherwise, if it becomes a big scene, the impact won't be good!
"You, you... I am Itachi's uncle, and you..." Tobi, hearing Black Zetsu's words, widened his eyes, wanting to say something, but...
"Mmph mmph!"
His mouth was directly stuffed with a sock taken off by a White Zetsu clone, and then he was pressed down and taken away by two people.
"Mmph mmph~~"
And Tobi kept shouting, trying to attract others' attention, so someone would come save him!
"I'm his older brother!" Black Zetsu looked at the subdued Tobi, shook his head, sighed, and said, "Am I proud?"
"Is this really okay?" The White Zetsu main body nearby hesitated and said, "If Lord Jun finds out later..."
A father hitting his son is perfectly reasonable, your outcome will be even worse then!
"It's fine, I'm just scaring Tobi." Black Zetsu waved his hand and said, "Who told him to keep hiding!"
Hmph!
Otherwise, I would have saved Mom long ago, and then...
Mom and Father would have met already!
He put his hands behind his back, wearing an unbearably arrogant expression, and walked out...
"Now it's time to deal with that kid!"
I worked so hard, running around, hiding and lurking, all to save Mom, and yet, that kid Tobi gets to live leisurely in a big house, eating delicious food. The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
And in the end, I...
gained a father?!
Thinking of this, he felt even angrier inside!
"If I don't skin that kid a layer, he can forget about leaving!"
