Hearing Naruto's words, Jiraiya let out a breath of relief.
Even though this kid was still as frustrating as ever, at least he wouldn't fall into darkness.
He suddenly realized that it wasn't such a bad thing that Naruto didn't have many close ties with anyone.
Caring about no one meant he wouldn't turn dark because of anyone's death!
For someone with that kind of power, as long as he didn't become like Nagato, it was already good enough!
Compared to Nagato, his student, Naruto's shortcomings were nothing to worry about.
On the other side, Nagato was clearly impacted by Naruto's words as well.
With Naruto around, it really was impossible to complete his goal.
Unless Naruto himself didn't want to live, but how could that be?
This situation left Nagato feeling confused.
Threaten Naruto with Konoha? Or Jiraiya?
But according to Naruto, he didn't care at all...
"You guys keep talking, or you can go fight outside if you want. I'll take my leave now."
Naruto heard Nagato's thoughts and knew that he had basically given up on his plan to capture the tailed beasts.
He didn't need to tell the two of them about Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu later on,
With Jiraiya around, it wasn't his turn to be the babysitter.
Of course, besides being a babysitter for Jiraiya once, he didn't want to be anyone else's.
"I wonder if I can make it back to Konoha from Amegakure Village in one go."
After coming out of the frog's mouth, Naruto turned into golden light and disappeared.
He was waiting for this good show not only for Uchiha Shisui's other Sharingan, but also to take care of Uchiha Obito and the troublemaking Black Zetsu.
To save them from scheming this and that all day long.
It was making his life uneasy.
In the blink of an eye, Naruto appeared from Amegakure Village at the old Uchiha residence in Konoha.
Using his Observation Haki, he could clearly sense that two people were fighting inside, and many people were watching around.
"No one from Konoha, it seems like the wings I'm flapping as a butterfly are having quite an impact."
Naruto muttered to himself, and then locked onto Black Zetsu's location among the crowd.
Even though he said he would take care of Black Zetsu, Black Zetsu was much harder to deal with than White Zetsu.
White Zetsu would die if killed, but Black Zetsu wasn't like that.
Black Zetsu was a product of Ootsuki Kaguya's will; in a sense, physical destruction couldn't kill it.
So Naruto had two solutions.
One was to use sealing techniques to seal Black Zetsu in one place, which would solve the problem of Black Zetsu causing trouble. The drawback was that the seal would weaken, and he didn't know if Black Zetsu knew sealing techniques or if it would slip away on its own.
The other was to grind it to dust and scatter the ashes!
Physical destruction wouldn't kill it, but what if nothing was left?
From Chojuro cutting Black Zetsu in half with a single strike, it was clear that Black Zetsu's body wasn't very tough.
As long as all of Black Zetsu was trapped in one place, and it was completely annihilated down to the molecules, Naruto didn't believe it could revive.
Unless Black Zetsu was a life form similar to the tailed beasts, which would revive in a few years to a few decades after death! But was that possible?
Naruto didn't think Black Zetsu was that kind of life form; otherwise, it wouldn't need to gain power through parasitism.
On the other side,
Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu, and Hoshigaki Kisame were observing Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke's battle from not far from the battlefield.
"Uchiha Itachi has become weaker; he can't even dodge attacks like that. Has his body deteriorated to this extent?" Seeing Uchiha Itachi get hit by Sasuke's attack, Black Zetsu couldn't help but guess.
"I don't think Itachi-san's body is that bad. I briefly fought Itachi-san before coming here, and I feel that as long as he's willing, his strength can still be at its peak!" Kisame said.
"After all, he's his own younger brother, so it's normal to go easy on him," Uchiha Obito said in a low voice,
"Oh? So he's holding back after all? Even though he used that kind of ninjutsu against his younger brother last time," Kisame teased, "If things go on like this, will Itachi-san lose?"
"What if Itachi really loses?"
"Just have his younger brother take his place. I believe that as long as he knows the truth, and with Itachi's Sharingan, his strength will definitely help us complete the subsequent plans faster!" Uchiha Obito said flatly.
"Compared to Uchiha Itachi, his younger brother is much more simple-minded," Black Zetsu said meaningfully, but it was met with approval from the other two.
"Is the situation on the other side alright?" Kisame suddenly asked, "Do you need me to go support them? I get itchy hands just watching other people fight!"
"There are two small teams on the other side, including Kakuzu, Hidan, Deidara, and Sasori. Konoha won't notice this side."
As soon as Black Zetsu finished speaking, a cage of golden light suddenly trapped the three of them!
Light Style. Four-Corner Cage!
Kisame looked at the golden barriers around him and said to Black Zetsu with sarcasm, "It seems like you spoke too soon."
Black Zetsu didn't answer but said to Obito, "This jutsu should be from that Nine Tails brat; I don't know how he found us here."
Black Zetsu had collected a lot of information about Naruto before Naruto activated Observation Haki.
Including his abilities, experiences, etc., he knew everything.
However, there was a time when Naruto almost found it, which made it afraid to show itself around Naruto.
"Good thing he came; this time, we can not only capture Uchiha Sasuke but also catch another Nine Tails to take back!"
From the moment Itachi was holding back, Uchiha Obito had already assumed that Uchiha Sasuke would win this fight!
The current time was just garbage time as far as he was concerned!
"Kisame."
Obito didn't do it himself.
With his underling around, he, the boss, could relax a bit.
However, he greatly underestimated Naruto's strength!
Last time, Kisame didn't last a single round under Naruto's sword; this time, Kisame was unusually vigilant before the fight started, but it was still useless.
Under Naruto's maxed-out swordsmanship and the Sword of Kusanagi, his Great Sword Samehada was like a raw recruit!
The last time they fought, he was cut in half with one strike; this time, Naruto gave Samehada dozens of cuts, turning this famous Hidden Mist sword into sashimi!
"Water Style. Great Dam Water Repair Ha!"
Knowing that his strength and swordsmanship were inferior to Naruto, Kisame wanted to win with ninjutsu.
However, his water couldn't break out of the light barrier at all.
Naruto flashed out of the barrier and made hand seals, "Yasakani no Magatama!!"
Countless light bullets rained down from the sky like scattered flowers into the barrier, turning Kisame and Black Zetsu into SpongeBobs!
However, Uchiha Obito used his Kamui ability to avoid his attack.
By putting his body into another space, even light couldn't hit him!
