The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 02]

Chapter 328 - Obito's Miscalculation

In a forested area in the Leaf village the space twisted in a vortex and the masked Obito appeared. He thought about the new unknown enemy and felt irritated.

'I've been keeping an eye on everyone who could become a thorn in my side or a threat to Project Tsuki no Mi and yet... How did I miss someone with his strength?'

As he was analyzing the mysterious foe, Zetsu appeared out of the ground near him. The black and white plant creature looked at the masked ninja and sensed that things may not have gone accordingly.

"What happened? Did you get Shisui's Sharingan?" Zetsu asked.

"No."

Black Zetsu didn't speak or show any emotion outwards, but inside he had contempt for Obito. 'You talked so big before you went into that base but now you're here empty handed. You trash. Taking one Sharingan from Danzo. Can't you even complete this task. Che. What a waste.'

"That's surprising. Is Danzo more clever than we thought? Or did the Hokage get to him before you did?" The white half questioned, unaware what his other half was thinking.

"Neither. It seems there is a new variable we need to be aware of. A man who goes by the name of Dragon." The masked ninja replied.

"Dragon? Kinda presumptuous calling himself after a mythical creature don't ya think?" The white Zetsu joked while the other half remained silent.

Black Zetsu gazed at Obito and a few moments later spoke. "Show me what happened."

Hearing those words, Obito's Sharingan focused on Black Zetsu's yellow eyes. In the span of just a few seconds the masked 'Madara' relayed all the information and images to the spy of the Akatsuki Organization.

Black Zetsu digested the information and he also had no clue as to who this person was.

"Do you know him?" Obito asked.

"No. I've never seen him before. But he could become a problem." Zetsu replied as he mentally went over the fight between the masked man and the Root ninjas.

Obito leaned against a tree and crossed his arms. "He got there before me. He successfully took Shisui's eye from Danzo. Moreover he was able to sense me even when I kept myself hidden."

"He's not with the Hokage or a known ally of the Leaf. At least that's what I was able to gather from what you've shown me."

Obito agreed with Zetsu's assessment. "Yes. But I'm sure he's someone from this village. He knows Kensei Yasaji or knows his son. From the way he spoke to Danzo it looked like he knew the man well. His combat techniques had certain elements from Anbu black ops. I think he's someone from my generation or maybe Minato's age group. He was able to use multiple natures and his fighting style..."

Black Zetsu nodded. "Yes. Even though it was only just a shadow clone he was able to fight Danzo and kill multiple Root ninjas. That alone speaks to his strength. Not to mention, the strangest thing is the way he fought. Unless I'm mistaken he could predict what his enemies were about to do and react accordingly. The way he reacted to their attacks and moved. It was almost as if he had-"

"The Sharingan." There was a spark of anger in Obito's tone.

"Yes." Black Zetsu fell silent as he contemplated that scenario.

"Wait. Someone with the Sharingan. So is he an Uchiha?" The white half scratched his chin and pondered.

"I'm not sure."

Obito's reply didn't satisfy Black Zetsu. "Were you able to sense his chakra signature? Does it have any similarities to the Uchiha?"

The masked ninja shook his head. "He had some kind of technique that stopped me from probing into him. Whatever that technique was, it acted as a barrier. I couldn't ascertain anything other than what I've seen."
