Although he felt there were many problems, Obito finally asked, "Then, what is your plan? Explain it clearly."
"We attack the Hyuga clan!"
Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Obito asking.
"Don't doubt it, it's an attack on the Hyuga Clan. This is the safest way."
"You mean—"
Although Obito's mind wasn't very quick, he understood.
"By attacking the Hyuga clan, we divert their attention and create an opportunity for us?"
"That's right. The Hyuga are a major clan in Konoha. If they have problems, Takemi will definitely go there."
Black Zetsu nodded, speaking with extreme seriousness.
"This will create a window of opportunity. Even if Takemi is notified, as long as the pressure on the Hyuga is great, he won't dare to leave easily."
"Because he's the designated Hokage, he can't just ignore the Hyuga clan, right?"
Obito nodded. He had, after all, impersonated the Mizukage, so he naturally knew a few things.
"It seems this plan has some feasibility, but the person who launches the attack—"
"Edo Tensei!"
Black Zetsu spoke directly, knowing he had likely managed to trick him.
"Edo Tensei don't fear death, and their strength isn't weak. Even if they can't defeat Takemi, constantly reviving them will make him not dare to leave easily. This is an excellent opportunity."
"Edo Tensei, huh…"
Obito was already tempted, and Black Zetsu immediately intensified his efforts.
"And, we'd best dig up some more Byakugan, and even find a chance to meet Naruto."
"Why do that?"
"Once Konoha's energy is tied up, they will definitely focus their efforts on their own village. At that time, Kirigakure and Iwagakure will be in trouble."
"You mean—"
"That's right. Kirigakure and Iwagakure can certainly still contact Konoha, but Konoha also needs to worry if we're just faking it…"
"…"
"At that time, Konoha will be too busy to help itself, which will not only affect their relationship but also give us a greater opportunity."
Black Zetsu's words made Obito silent. He felt he was too cunning.
He didn't ask why they wouldn't send the Jinchuriki to Konoha, the great ninja villages still had their pride.
If the plan succeeded, then perhaps they could relax a bit.
"Do as you say."
After pondering for a long time, Obito finally nodded, which made Black Zetsu breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, it will definitely be fine."
Black Zetsu smiled, finally having succeeded in his deception. But while he smiled on the surface, he was miserable inside.
Although the plan seemed plausible, he knew it was only for tricking Obito.
He couldn't trick himself too!
After all, there was a strength gap, and Edo Tensei also had problems.
'But no matter what, they can both get what they want and fulfill the agreement with Orochimaru.'
Black Zetsu murmured to himself, and when he turned to look at Obito, he secretly nodded.
'And it can also help Obito find confidence. It can be considered a smooth sailing…'
Outside Konoha, winds were stirring.
But inside Konoha, Takemi's life remained the same.
"It's just so strange, why didn't anyone go to the hospital after the last mission?"
In a training ground in Konoha, Takemi, who was sitting with Kakashi and Guy, suddenly blurted out this sentence.
"…"
Kakashi was momentarily stunned, while Guy looked puzzled.
"Takemi, isn't it good that no one went to the hospital?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
Kakashi rubbed his brow in distress. He felt that his disciple had no good intentions.
However, he subconsciously glanced at Sasuke, who was sparring with Naruto in the distance, and said.
"Perhaps it was Sasuke, but he refused?"
"It could also be the Second Hokage."
Takemi stroked his chin, speaking with a serious expression.
"After all, the news we saw was outrageous. The Second Hokage might have found it hard to accept, but because he's an Edo Tensei, he didn't…"
"Alright, is that something you can just blurt out?"
Kakashi couldn't hold back. He looked left and right, and seeing only Guy with curious wide eyes, he finally relaxed.
Guy knew about the Edo Tensei, although he wasn't involved in many of the decisions.
This wasn't because Guy was looked down upon. It was just that Guy was more suited for throwing punches…
But normal secrets wouldn't be hidden from him. He was a pillar of Konoha, an elite of Konoha.
"Don't slander Lord Second Hokage. Although there's a possibility, you can't say such things."
"Did I slander him?"
Takemi blinked, which made Kakashi give him a deadpan stare.
"Not yet, and your ability to talk nonsense is very great. Is that kind of thing something to just blurt out?"
"How is it nonsense? Then, Kakashi-sensei, can you explain why the Uchiha have it, but they don't?"
"…"
Takemi's words left Kakashi speechless. In fact, he also felt there was such a possibility, but wasn't it too outrageous?
Could it be that the Second Hokage was truly angered, but because he was an Edo Tensei, he didn't have to go to the hospital?
Kakashi fell into deep thought, while Guy blinked but didn't ask.
He knew very well that some secrets shouldn't be casually inquired about.
"Speaking of which, the list for Edo Tensei should be almost ready now."
But at this moment, Takemi smiled and spoke again.
"Kakashi-sensei, Guy-sensei, do you think there might be…"
"I don't know."
These words made both of them pause. Kakashi looked up at the sky.
After a while, he shook his head and spoke, "However, if I really see him, I should have a lot to say to him."
"I should too. I also have a lot to say to him."
Guy, like Kakashi, had eyes full of reminiscence, but he quickly smiled.
"I'll probably tell him that I've understood his beliefs, and I also want to thank him for helping me understand the true meaning of youth…"
At this point, Guy paused. His memory seemed to return to those days.
They trained together, shed hot tears of youth together. Although he had once disliked it, he eventually understood everything.
"True victory is not defeating the strong, but protecting what is important to you until death…"
Seeing his two teachers fall silent, Takemi patted them on the shoulders.
He felt that he should exert some influence here, as there were quite a few things he could decide.
'Also, should I give Sasuke a chance to show off in front of his family?'
While thinking, his gaze fell on Sasuke, who was training with Naruto.
And at that very moment, he suddenly raised an eyebrow. His mission had refreshed.
