"Zetsu, it's you! I thought I was—dead."

"This is Konan's paper ninjutsu. How—?"

"What about Kakuzu? Aren't we going back for him?" Sasori, sprawled on the back of the giant paper bird, asked, his voice strained.

His puppets—destroyed.

He'd known there might be powerful ninja in the world, capable of obliterating his puppets with a single jutsu. He could accept that.

What he couldn't accept—was that monster. The one with "Loyal to Konoha" etched on his back.

He was unkillable. Slashed, burned, impaled—every time Sasori thought he'd finally won, the monster would—regenerate. Not even regenerate, just—heal instantly.

He'd exhausted his entire arsenal, and still hadn't managed to deplete the monster's chakra. If Zetsu hadn't intervened—

"I sensed—something was wrong and contacted Konan. She sent this"

"Kakuzu is dead." Black Zetsu's voice trembled. They'd failed. Again.

This—wasn't part of the plan.

Those devious Konoha ninja had used Kamui to transport their reinforcements, completely misleading him about their strength.

And Obito's right eye—he'd witnessed its destruction. This meant Konoha not only knew Obito's identity, but they'd also managed to evolve Kakashi's Sharingan into a Mangekyō Sharingan, using Kamui against them.

Ruthless.

They'd killed Kakuzu effortlessly.

The image of those five ninja surrounding Kakuzu—it sent a shiver down his spine.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Yugito Nii, Kisame Hoshigaki, Pakura" Black Zetsu's voice dripped with venom. He recognized them instantly.

Even the Third Hokage himself had joined the fight, to avenge Danzo. The Land of Fire—it was a cursed place.

Sometimes, he wondered if the Sage of Six Paths was secretly—watching, interfering.

"We shouldn't have killed Danzo." He regretted it now. For a bit of money, they'd lost a valuable asset.

He'd observed Hiruzen Sarutobi for years. If not for Danzo's death, he would have likely remained in Konoha, a—passive force.

But now—

"And you—what happened? Why are you so—battered?"

"I encountered an—unkillable monster."

"Unkillable?" Black Zetsu scoffed. The only truly immortal being was his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.

The others—they simply hadn't been—persuaded sufficiently.

"I exhausted my entire arsenal and couldn't—stop him," Sasori said.

"He's that strong?" Black Zetsu had seen Deadpool, briefly, when rescuing Sasori.

He possessed intel on practically everyone in the ninja world, but this—Deadpool—he was unknown. As if he'd appeared out of thin air.

"Not strong, but—he counters me. I specialize in attrition. I lack—overwhelming firepower. Even the Third Kazekage puppet—its jutsu aren't that destructive. And he—he regenerates too quickly. And he feels no pain, no fear."
