The work of fate

Ch 21 - escape

Obito POV—

Just like all the other nights i was wide awake, just Another quirk of having Hashirama cells attached to you...
It's not that i couldn't sleep, it's just that there weren't any point in it, the refreshing feeling of a Night of sleep was gone ..again

But due to this i was awake when the Black Zetsu returned to the hideout..
Most times he would go straight through Another Wall to Another room where he would most likely inform the White zetsu's of whatever he had recorded

But today he went and woke up the sleeping Madara from his 4 Day long nap.
It was like that a lot. Madara would be awake a couple of hours to give the Zetsu's orders and then he would crash out in his chair for multible days at a time

I was laying in my bed which was a little far away from Madara's chair so i couldn't quite make out what Zetsu had to report, and he had his back turned so i couldn't read his lips with my sharingan either.

However i was able to make out a few words..
"Mist......attack........failure......seal...
Jinchuuriki........failure..."

A clear failure...the mist, he Said!
A seal and a jinchuuriki!
They're Talking about Rin's kidnapping!
Failure!
...
The relief washes over me like a tsunami..Rin was safe...
Which meant that i had been in this layer for about a year..just like in the natural timeline, today was the Day i escaped...

My right arm still wasn't in the rightfull condition to break the boulder.
And Tobi (swirly Zetsu) probably wouldn't Help me this time around..

That's Why i'm glad that i still posses the same strength as i did during the fourth war..

I had multible choices.
-Kamui
-normal jutsu
-i could simply walk through the boulder, by making my entire body intangible
-or i could use my left arm

But first..
"Lovely knews.." i Said and crawled out of bed..

This caused Zetsu to turn Around to face me, and Madara to raise his head in confusion

"You never change old man..maybe you thought that you controlled me this whole time...but it's the opposite"

"What ever are you babling about?" Madara asked, but he didn't show any confusion.
He was always great at masking his emotions.

Masking...Ha! How ironic!

"I'll say i'm the one in control... i liberetly got hurt and fell into your underground tunnel..due to this i knew that you would attach Hashirama's cells to my damaged arm...and i knew that you were gonna make the hidden mist attack Rin, so i left someone behind in Konoha to protect her..and i know exacly how to get rid of the seal you have placed on my heart" i finished and flashed the now clearly confused Madara a smirk..
The seal would maybe be a bit of a problem while returning home to the village..
But i knew how to compress it so that it would hardly be noticable..just.. annoying

"How did you figure all of that out?" It was Black Zetsu asking me, and judging from his tone he was not near happy about this outcome

"Because to me this is the second time this has happened" i continued to smirk, just angering Black Zetsu even more.

"The second time?" Madara raised his eyebrow

"I'm not telling you more than that..you're not gonna need it anyways taking in that you're gonna die now.." this would be Another kill, something i didn't enjoy, After all I've done through out my life
"Sorry not Sorry, Black Zetsu..but i Guess You'll never be reunited with your mother.." i hit one more sore spot before activating my Kamui tranporting a few items i had stored in there..
- a tonto
- and a sealing scroll
