"You're Mei Zheren, right! From now on, you're with me!"
"The principle of being with me is that you must listen to everything I say!"
"As for other things... I'm still very easy to talk to!"
Naruto was speechless listening to the chattering Obito.
Tobi in the original story was a very flamboyant character, and Naruto always thought it might be Spiral White Zetsu.
But Spiral White Zetsu had already been sealed by his father, and the current Tobi was still very flamboyant, which meant this was Obito's true nature.
"Hey, I've introduced myself, shouldn't you introduce yourself too, Mei Zheren?"
Tobi said, a bit annoyed, seeing that Naruto hadn't spoken.
"Eh? Don't you already know my name is Mei Zheren? What else do I need to introduce?"
Obito: ...
Obito really wanted to say, "Is this old man trying to know your name? This old man wants to know your Ninjutsu and which village you're from, you bastard!"
Because he knew the Fourth Hokage had been resurrected, Obito was a bit flustered now.
Although Obito had always deliberately tried to raise his status, the former Fourth Hokage had always been his idol. Even if he said he wasn't afraid of the Fourth Hokage and could surpass him, he was still a bit nervous when facing him, especially after being beaten twice.
So, when he heard that the Akatsuki Organization had a new member that not even Zetsu knew about, he immediately jumped out, wanting to get information on Mei Zheren.
If Mei Zheren could be used by him, then he would keep him as a tool.
If he couldn't be used by him, then he would find a way to kill him.
It wasn't because Obito was narrow-minded; this idea was entirely from Black Zetsu.
For no other reason, Black Zetsu didn't want any more unforeseen changes in the Ninja World that he couldn't handle!
There was no one Zetsu wanted to investigate that he couldn't find information on, but... Mei Zheren, he really couldn't find anything.
Such a mysterious existence was a variable for Black Zetsu, just like the Fourth Hokage.
So, if he couldn't be used, he had to be killed.
"Ahem... I know your name, but you should at least tell me what Ninjutsu you're good at and which ninja village you're from, right?"
After he spoke, Obito stared intently at Naruto!
"The Ninjutsu I'm good at..." As he spoke, Naruto began to form hand signs and softly chanted, "Wind Release: Wind Cutter Jutsu."
While activating the Ninjutsu, Naruto also added Enhancement type and Emission type Nen Ability to it.
The Enhancement type increased the power of the jutsu, while the Emission type increased the duration and release distance of the jutsu.
And with this combination, what was originally a B-rank Wind Cutter immediately unleashed the power of an S-rank Wind Release!
It directly cut all the trees in a small patch of forest nearby in half.
Seeing this, Obito was also a bit stunned. He hadn't expected the power of a normal Ninjutsu to be so strong.
On the other hand, Black Zetsu, hidden underground, felt that Naruto's Wind Cutter was nothing special; Madara could also do it.
Madara's Great Fire Annihilation was only stronger, not weaker, than that.
Just then, Naruto spoke.
"I am a master of Wind Release!"
"Besides Wind Release, my Taijutsu is also very strong!"
"Also! My summoning beast is also very powerful!"
Obito nodded at this, then comically bounced twice in place.
"Haha... Taijutsu isn't weak in the Akatsuki Organization, so... I want to see your summoning beast, how about it?"
"Oh? Are you sure you want to see it? My summoning beast won't return until it sees blood!"
Naruto said with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Hmm? A summoning beast that won't return without seeing blood, quite bloody! I like it!"
He said this, but Obito's inner thoughts were somewhat dismissive, "Hmph! How could this old man let a summoning beast hurt him?"
"Alright then! Let's see it."
As he spoke, Naruto activated his Nen Beast ability to summon the Five Finger Floral Explorer, then used Zetsu to make it invisible.
Obito saw this and asked, somewhat confused, "Why aren't you summoning it yet?"
Just as Obito's words fell, his battle intuition told him someone was attacking him from behind.
He instinctively dodged, but... it was still a bit late.
His backside had been powerfully stabbed by the mysterious person, and he was sent flying into the air.
At this moment, only one thought was in Obito's mind: "Why didn't I use Kamui just now?"
Obito, in mid-air, left behind drops of blood.
Where the blood came from, of course, goes without saying.
After Obito got up from the ground, he covered his butt with one hand and pointed at Naruto with the other, saying, "You... you summoned your summoning beast a long time ago?"
Naruto shrugged at this, saying, "No, it's just that my summoning beast doesn't require hand signs to summon!"
Obito: ...
"How is it, Senior Tobi? My summoning beast is pretty good, right?"
Obito heard this and really wanted to slap Mei Zheren to death, but after thinking about it carefully, this kid had good strength and was a good pawn. It wasn't time to kill him yet. It wouldn't be too late to kill him after the Akatsuki Organization had a few more reliable people!
"Not bad... very good!"
As he spoke, Obito took his hand off his butt and began to clap.
"Oh? Senior Tobi, you're also very good! Your butt injury healed so quickly!"
In the distance, on the roof of a tower.
Pain and Konan stood there, watching the interaction between Naruto and Obito.
"Konan, what do you think of this Mei Zheren?"
"Very interesting!" Konan said faintly.
If one looked closely, they could see an uncontrollable smile at the corner of Konan's mouth!
"He is indeed very interesting! On the contrary, that Uchiha Madara, I'm increasingly finding him suspicious!"
"With the battle intuition of that legendary world of ninja asura, how could he not dodge such an attack? Even an invisible attacker's attack shouldn't be undodgeable, and he made such a fool of himself."
Konan didn't say anything to this; after all, she had never trusted the person who called himself Uchiha Madara from the beginning. Not only did she not trust him, she was even using Kakuzu's hard-earned money to set up a sure-kill trap.
Seeing Konan remain silent, Pain continued, "I feel that this Mei Zheren can test the limits of this Uchiha Madara!"
With that, Pain pointed to the location of Obito and Naruto in the distance.
At this moment, Naruto had an arm around Obito's neck, looking very intimate.
The truth, however, was that Naruto was stuffing Grey Wolf's nano-robots onto Obito's body.
