Chapter 255 : Obito: Oola, Oola, Oola! Jin: Muda, Muda, Muda!
Naraku and Kakashi had quite a ruckus in the tent, and it wasn't until late morning that the countless talismans covering Kakashi's body converged into a pure black, diamond-shaped mark on his forehead.
This mark was slightly larger and more elongated than the one on Naraku's forehead, like a cold star glinting with black light.
"Is this the 'Yin Seal: Modified'?"
Kakashi rubbed his forehead, not noticing any difference in himself. He turned to see Naraku drowsily packing his things and quickly went over to help.
"Naraku, I don't seem to feel anything?"
"How could it have an effect now... This Sealing Jutsu will only work after some time..."
Naraku yawned, squinting as he fumbled in the nightstand drawer for a long time, then pulled out a small booklet and handed it to him.
"The usage methods for the Yin Seal: Modified are all here... Any leftover Chakra can also be stored in the seal. If you ever encounter a situation where you're low on Chakra, just release a bit of the seal..."
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Kakashi tucked the booklet into his embrace, then pushed Naraku, who was so sleepy he couldn't keep his eyes open but was still chattering, onto the bed. He considerately covered him with the blanket and tucked in the corners.
"Go to sleep quickly, Naraku."
Sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the door curtain, at an almost vertical angle. Kakashi knew it was almost time for him to leave.
But he still lowered his head and carefully tidied Naraku's slightly messy hair.
"I should go."
"Mm... Kakashi... Be careful on the road... Good night..."
Naraku buried his face in the blanket and mumbled a few words, his breathing slowly becoming steady.
The sound of footsteps gradually faded. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from outside, making the tent's tarpaulin flap loudly, but it couldn't wake the boy from his pleasant dream... After the main body fell asleep, Naraku remotely shifted his consciousness to "Jhin," sitting on the bed reading Madara's battle notes from many years ago, and simultaneously continuing to monitor Black Zetsu with Sensing Ninjutsu.
After Kakashi and Rin left the Eastern Front camp, it was the best time for Black Zetsu and Madara to manipulate the Hidden Mist Anbu to attack Rin, and they would never miss the opportunity.
Sure enough, shortly after, Sensing Ninjutsu showed Black Zetsu's Chakra secretly approaching Madara, whose energy also became a bit more active than before, indicating he had probably woken up.
Jhin closed the book, picked up Fū, who was crawling all over him, and casually tossed her to Obito.
"Hey! How many times have I told you not to throw her like that!"
Obito, whose body had mostly recovered, opened his arms and expertly caught Fū, who was happily flying through the air, half-angry and half-helpless: "You guy, do you only treat Fū as a toy?"
"I'm just treating Fū in a way she also likes," Jhin shrugged and sighed loudly, "Ah... With an idiot like Obito's brain capacity, it's normal not to understand these things, I totally get it~"
"Bastard!... Circles, you hold her!"
Obito was fuming, but he didn't forget to first hand Fū to a White Zetsu he had become familiar with these past few days, and then he pounced on Jhin, baring his fangs and claws.
"Take this!"
"Are you angry, Obito? Oh dear, I can't do anything with you~"
Jhin let out a laugh that would make anyone furious, retreating calmly, always dodging attacks by a hair's breadth, still having the energy to mock the attacker for overestimating himself.
"Oh dear... What a pity, you didn't catch me~"
"Congratulations, congratulations, that was 0.01 seconds faster than last time, oh~"
"Are you even trying, Obito? Are you already out of strength? How lame..."
The White Zetsu, named "Circles"—such a cute name—held Fū and watched the commotion for a while, then let her sit on his shoulders for a piggyback ride.
The root white zetsu "Zero" came over and tickled Fū's feet, making the little girl giggle.
"I say 9527, you seem quite fond of the name 'Circles'?"
"Well, it's alright," the White Zetsu, whose face was covered in spiral roots, turned to Zero and said, "Although it's not as cool as 9527, that Obito guy probably couldn't come up with anything better."
"Then what should I call you?"
"Either is fine..."
Unlike the peaceful scene with White Zetsu and Fū, Jhin and Obito were already bombarding each other with Ninjutsu, going back and forth with great enthusiasm.
"Muda muda muda~"
Jhin chuckled, sweeping a long spear made of Black Flames horizontally, obliterating several Great Fireballs.
Then, he straightened up, shook his wrist, and lightly tapped the ground with the spear tip, as if urging Obito to show him whatever moves he had.
"How dare you look down on me?"
Obito gritted his teeth, clumsily forming hand signs, intending to use the new Ninjutsu he had learned here to settle things once and for all: "Take this! Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!!"
A scorching, enormous fire dragon erupted from his mouth, lifelike, filling the entire underground cave with intense light and heat, illuminating the space like daylight.
"Woah~"
Facing this sudden situation, Jhin exclaimed with an exaggerated tone, then twirled his long spear, reversed his grip, and threw it like a javelin.
In an instant, the black spear transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the fire dragon's head with lightning speed, deeply embedding itself in the rock wall. The strong winds generated by the spear even dispersed more than half of the dragon's body.
The remaining flames instantly lost control and quickly vanished into thin air.
Under Obito's dumbfounded gaze, Jhin turned around, smugly twirling a strand of hair around his finger: "You're still far from it, idiot Obito."
Obito, utterly defeated, knelt and cried out: "Damn it!!"
From Jhin's current angle, he could just see Madara sitting in a chair in another room, so he ran over like a child with his arms raised, leaning over the armrest and peeking.
"Lord Madara~ Are you awake?"
Madara glanced at him, sighing a speechless "Mm."
"There must be a new development, right?"
Jhin leaned closer, his mask almost touching Madara's gray hair, "Please feel free to command your little slave, oh~ Master~"
"Hmph," Madara scoffed, completely unmoved, "Didn't you say before that I was abusing child labor?"
Jhin whined pitifully: "But it's too boring staying here... I'm even tired of playing with idiot Obito, you know~~ Otherwise, Lord Madara, you personally—"
"Shut up."
Seeing that this guy was endless, Madara closed his eyes and exhaled, thinking it over carefully, then lowered his voice and said: "Recently, Hidden Mist is probably going to replace the Three-Tails' Jinchuriki to launch a surprise attack on Konoha."
Jhin subtly glanced back at Obito, who had, at some point, sat down in a corner to eat, completely unaware of what Madara was saying.
"What a wicked plan," he covered his mask with both hands in support, his tone so delighted that Madara had the illusion that the eyes behind the mask were sparkling, "It's just as good as our 'Eye of the Moon' plan!"
--Nonsense!
--Infinite Tsukuyomi is clearly a great measure to save the world!
Madara glared unhappily at the little lunatic, too lazy to argue with him, then continued in a volume Obito couldn't hear: "Once their plan to attack Konoha succeeds, you can then take the opportunity to snatch the Three-Tails."
"I understand, I understand," Jhin nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick, "I don't want to help Konoha avert disaster, it's disgusting."
Madara finally gave him a somewhat satisfied look, waving his hand and saying: "Go, and remember, you must listen to Black Zetsu on this trip."
"Okay~ (๑‾ ꇴ ‾ ๑)"
