Chapter 144: Obito: I Absolutely Cannot Die!
.....
Underground Base.
Black Zetsu, wrapping around Obito, emerged from the ground.
At this moment, Obito's body was incredibly grotesque and terrifying.
Yet, he could stand steadily.
Dense black threads stitched together the wounds all over his body, barely holding Obito in human shape. It looked as if Black Zetsu's body had completely merged into Obito's.
Pitch-black threads extended from the brain like a spiderweb, attaching to the internal meridians, blood vessels, and organs throughout his body.
A mysterious power protected Obito's last breath, preventing him from dying.
His mask had long shattered, and his face was similarly covered in web-like black threads.
"Black... Black Zetsu... save me... I... can't... die yet..."
Obito's half-mouth opened and closed intermittently, possessing an intense will to live.
He absolutely could not die! The Eye of the Moon Plan hadn't been realized, Rin hadn't been resurrected—he absolutely refused to die like this!
"Shut up!" Black Zetsu controlled the other half of the mouth. "I won't let you die. Cooperate obediently and don't resist!"
Its tone was dark and full of rage.
At this moment, it dropped the pretense of being a subordinate and respectfully addressing him as Lord Madara. It was simply too furious, angry to the extreme.
This guy was simply trash!
He transplanted the Rinnegan, created a new Jinchuriki Pain, and even had the Limited Tsukuyomi as a superweapon. In the end, not only did he fail to kill that traitor, but he also got himself battered to the point of near death.
Truly absolute garbage, a complete waste!
He went to clean up a traitor full of confidence, only to come back beaten like a dead dog.
What annoyed Black Zetsu the most was that it had to save this piece of trash. Since Madara Uchiha hadn't been revived, this guy couldn't die yet. The subsequent plans still required him to push them forward.
Trash! Trash! Every time, it had to wipe his ass!
Black Zetsu cursed profusely in its mind, wishing it could just leave Obito's body right now and let him die completely.
"Quick... quickly... save me..."
The dying Obito, his consciousness blurred, didn't even notice that Black Zetsu's attitude toward him was different from usual.
Hmph!
Black Zetsu scoffed internally. This dead dog's will to live was quite tenacious, which would help with the treatment.
One by one, White Zetsus emerged from the walls and gathered around.
They chattered and shouted noisily:
"Ew~ how did he end up like this..."
"Obito looks so miserable. Feels even worse than last time when his right half was crushed..."
"Whoa, smashed like this, can he still poop..."
"Obito, Obito, do you need to poop right now..."
"Shut up!" Black Zetsu said coldly. "You idiots, hurry up and carry Obito into the Gedo Statue."
Ahead was the massive and terrifying Gedo Statue. It was filled with a life-force solution that would help it heal Obito.
"Oh, got it. Leave it to us, don't worry."
Saying that, five White Zetsus carefully lifted Obito by his five limbs (head included) and raised him over their heads. Step by step, they climbed up the Gedo Statue, went behind it, and threw him into a large pool of green liquid.
Black Zetsu controlled Obito's body to slowly sink down and began the healing process.
On the other side of the base.
In the underground training ground, Sasuke Uchiha, blindfolded with a white cloth, threw kunai one after another.
Thud! Thud! Thud! They pinned onto the target in front of him.
"Sasuke, sugoi!" Karin, with her red hair, clapped her hands nearby, staring at Sasuke with infatuation. "Bullseye on all of them! Sasuke, you're amazing!!"
Oh my! Blindfolded Sasuke is super handsome too! If... Ah, no, I can't think about that anymore...
Karin exhaled hot breaths, her face flushed, her legs trembling incessantly. Every time she saw such a cool and handsome Sasuke, she couldn't control herself.
"Nngh~" She let out a meaningless moan, picked up some water, and skipped to Sasuke's side.
"Sasuke, take a break and drink some water."
"Even blindfolded, you can hit the bullseye accurately. As expected of Sasuke, sugoi!"
"Hmph!" Sasuke said with extreme arrogance. "This is just a fraction of my power. Don't underestimate the Uchiha!"
He took the water bottle; the cap had already been thoughtfully unscrewed by Karin.
He took a small sip, then suddenly paused. "This water... seems a bit different..."
"No... no problem." Karin's eyes seemed to burn with fire as she stared at the blindfolded Sasuke drinking water.
She breathed heavily, twisting her body like a pretzel, excited to the extreme, her skin flushing pink.
"Must be an illusion..." Sasuke didn't pay it any mind and continued to hydrate.
He drank it! He drank it! Dear Sasuke-kun is drinking the water I carefully prepared! So handsome!! So exciting!! I feel like I'm gonna—!
"Mmm~~"
Watching Sasuke's throat move slightly as he drank, Karin could no longer contain herself and let out a deeper moan. Her body went stiff as a board, as if electrocuted.
"Karin." Sasuke sensed something was wrong. "What's wrong with you? Why is your body so hot?"
Even without physical contact, he could feel the continuous waves of heat radiating from her.
"Ah~" Karin gasped softly, then let out a long sigh. "Maybe it's because I just trained, and my body hasn't cooled down yet."
Sasuke looked toward the other side of the base. "There was a commotion over there. What happened?"
"Seems like that masked man returned." Karin pouted. "There are a lot of White Zetsus guarding the outside. They won't let anyone see or enter. Don't know what he's sneaking around doing in there alone."
Sasuke didn't suspect anything and continued his training.
Karin sat on the ground, still gazing at him foolishly.
She lamented internally about how happy this period of time was. Blindfolded Sasuke was great; whatever she did beside him, he couldn't see.
This kind of thrill was simply addictive...
Sometimes Karin truly wished Sasuke would never regain his sight, so she could enjoy more of this happy time.
After a while.
Seeing Sasuke panting and sweating on his forehead, Karin stood up and shouted, "Sasuke, let's end training here for today. You need to rest properly while your eyes are recovering. Don't overwork yourself."
Sasuke silently stopped releasing ninjutsu and ended his training. The Mangekyo was of utmost importance; he absolutely could not let training affect it in the slightest. He had to rest when needed.
Karin ran over, supported Sasuke, and couldn't suppress her excitement as she said, "Sasuke, let me help you to the bath."
Sasuke's body paused slightly, then immediately returned to normal, tacitly allowing her to support him to the bathroom.
His eyes were still recovering and couldn't get wet. And he couldn't leave his spiky black hair unwashed for long. So during this time, Karin helped him bathe.
During the process, she liked to get touchy-feely and deliberately tease him, but he just pretended not to care. Even as cold as he was, he didn't want a grown man like Suigetsu serving him in the bath.
He had to silently endure Karin's offenses and curiosity.
"Sasuke, I learned a brand new scrubbing technique today. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. It can greatly alleviate fatigue after training."
"Just lie there properly later. You don't have to do anything, just leave it to me!"
Sasuke remained silent, subconsciously rubbing his waist.
Suddenly, he sighed lightly in his heart: Perhaps this is the price for temporary blindness and gaining power. I have to pay something to Karin as compensation...
