Uchiha Rin held her diary, looking leisurely at the plains not far away.
This was the resting place that Aomi had chosen for "her"...
And also the place where Onoki "killed" Uchiha Obito!
The actors involved included the Anbu from various villages controlled by Uchiha Madara's illusions, along with a heavyweight guest, Uchiha Setsuna.
And there was Aomi who came without invitation, the entangled Black Zetsu, and Uchiha Madara watching from afar.
After separating from Uchiha Rin's body, it once again resided in a White Zetsu form, reverting to the classic pitcher plant appearance, half-black and half-white.
Black Zetsu hid in the ground beneath Aomi's feet, while Uchiha Rin was not far away, visible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile, Aomi didn't need to hide using Mayfly Jutsu. Under the combination of the Second Tsuchikage's "Mujin Meisai" and the Second Mizukage's "Demonic Illusion: Steaming Multistoried Building," ninjutsu layered with the principles of optical physics completely concealed Aomi's figure.
Black Zetsu searched underground for Aomi's location and sighed.
Can't see, really can't see...
"No wonder Uchiha Aomi can evade my surveillance and even obtain my intelligence in reverse, with such terrifying invisibility..."
Black Zetsu silently noted information about Aomi, looking at Uchiha Rin, who resembled a porcelain doll, with a complex gaze, before speaking:
"Can you really do it?"
"If you show a flaw and Obito notices something, this plan might instead create a terrifying adversary for Mother's resurrection..."
"Shall I take over?"
In the forest, rustling wind sounds rose, but no one responded.
Black Zetsu looked around, very displeased.
It's unaccustomed to the feeling of being unable to track others.
Always, it was the one unnoticed by others, manipulating the affairs of the Ninja World from the shadows.
But now, there's someone else...
An awkward silence persisted for a while.
Aomi's voice slowly arose:
"It's just Uchiha Obito, what's he worth?"
The tone was very flat, seemingly recounting an inconsequential matter.
Black Zetsu felt a deep discomfort in its heart.
What do you mean, Uchiha Obito is no big deal?
He was the earliest recorded genius of the Uchiha Clan to awaken the three-tomoe Sharingan!
Black Zetsu, at this moment, wanted to question Aomi: What kind of genius are you?
Doubting Obito, are you?
But when the words reached its lips, Black Zetsu swallowed them back down.
This one isn't an empty champion, there's indeed something substantial in him...
Black Zetsu seemed to forget.
Once, it too dismissed Uchiha Obito, thinking it could easily manipulate this less intelligent Uchiha...
If even he could do it, why couldn't Aomi?
Perhaps this was what they meant by "care leads to chaos"...
A cool breeze blew.
Uchiha Rin began to move, heading towards a pit not far away.
It was here that Onoki had used Earth Release to imprison Uchiha Obito, and finally used Dust Release to obliterate him.
The cubic Dust Release cuts, after numerous rounds of bombardment by Konoha's bombardment squad, had become pockmarked, hardly recognizable.
Aomi floated in the sky, gathering in her hand a semi-transparent barrier similar to Onoki's.
Using Dust Release to recut the scene before the bombardment, supplemented by Earth Release and Explosion Release for aging effects.
The aim is for Uchiha Obito to recognize at a glance, this is where he once met his end...
Thus the script was already crafted.
Not believing Obito dead, Uchiha Rin stubbornly returned to the battlefield, searching for her lover's remains, even if others said being hit by Dust Release would decompose them to atoms, she would strive for even the last thread of hope.
But unfortunately...
She encountered the enemy and those from her own side intent on killing her.
"What a beautiful script, Zetsu..."
Aomi, as if seeing through the earth, walked to where Black Zetsu was lurking, her tone calm with a hint of barely noticeable frenzy: "I am somewhat eager to savor this wonderful emotion."
"Let me see your limits, Uchiha Obito."
Black Zetsu was silent.
What a greedy and sinister man...
At this moment.
The script officially began!
With illusions affecting their minds, the inhabitants of Hidden Rock, Hidden Sand, Hidden Cloud, Hidden Rain, Hidden Grass, and some unidentified Hidden Village ninjas...
Patrolled this battlefield, tirelessly searching for traces of aftermath explosions.
"Check carefully, observe thoroughly for any unexploded ordnance after the blasts. Also, collect the soil dampened by the poisonous fog from the blasts, all this is essential strategic material!"
Just like what Uchiha Rin was doing at that moment.
These enemies of Konoha were also meticulously digging the earth, turning every stone, carefully packing charred and deep purple soil, even body fragments into scrolls.
All of these are vital intelligence.
The explosion traces, toxins...
The Ninja Alliance Army intended to backward engineer the bomb-making techniques using certain ninjutsu, at least finding a way to strategize around it.
Being controlled by illusions doesn't mean turning into puppets; strong mental suggestions alone are sufficient...
Thus this was no mere act, but something bound to occur in the Ninja World, with everyone involved investing genuine emotions.
The alliance army from the Ninja World, slowly surrounded from all directions.
Uchiha Setsuna also arrived at this moment...
Having followed Uchiha Fugaku on the Hidden Sand Battlefield and battled with Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo, his inner discontent and anger were amplified by Uchiha Madara's powerful illusions.
