"Eh... Are you sure you don't need my help?"
"I just feel that something might go wrong if you infiltrate Konohagakure alone~"
Black Zetsu spoke with mixed feelings.
He was pleased because Obito was straying further down the path of darkness. If he killed Konoha's advisor... no matter what excuse he had, there would be no turning back.
He was worried because if Gojo Kaigetsu were actually killed, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
In other villages, even in Konoha itself, the death of an advisor might not be a big deal. But Gojo Kaigetsu was different.
According to Black Zetsu's observations, Konoha's recent bizarre development speed was almost inseparable from Gojo Kaigetsu. Even though he always tried to erase his traces behind each event.
Moreover, Gojo Kaigetsu had a very close relationship with the Fourth Hokage, almost to the point of sharing the same Hokage cloak.
If this guy died, who knows if Konohagakure would investigate to the very end.
The best strategy would be to redirect the blame, pinning the assassination of the advisor on Kumogakure or Iwagakure. Triggering the Fourth Shinobi World War as quickly as possible would allow Nagato's Akatsuki to profit from the chaos.
Obito seemed to sense Black Zetsu's thoughts and warned, "Don't interfere with me, Black Zetsu."
"I want them... to feel pain."
"You misunderstand me, Obito. Why would I stop you? Go ahead and do it boldly!"

*Kirigakure.*
"An invitation from Kumogakure?"
Elder Genji furrowed his brows. "Did those barbarians eat something wrong? Or is it... a trap?"
Not long ago, they had just allied with Konoha, giving Kumogakure a heavy slap in the face. And now they turn around seeking a ninja academy exchange?
"Elder Genji, do you think they might be setting a trap to hunt down our next generation of shinobi?"
"Hard to say."
"But from what I know of the Raikage, he wouldn't do such a thing."
Kumogakure's shinobi might be barbaric, but they possess ample warrior spirit. Judging from the consistent personalities of successive Raikage, they wouldn't resort to such luring and killing tactics.
If they want to fight, they do it head-on, fists meeting flesh on the battlefield.
"So, Kumogakure genuinely wants to have an exchange with our ninja academy... Unbelievable."
"Perhaps they've been provoked by Konoha."
Over the past few days, news that Konoha and Sunagakure announced themselves as commercial allies has spread throughout the ninja world. It's said that to promote friendship between the two villages, Konoha has sent Elder Mitokado Homura to Iwagakure for a long-term stay.
Moreover, Sunagakure has publicly announced that they will send ninja academy students to Konoha for in-depth exchange and learning.
It can be said that both sides have genuinely taken a step back for "peace."
