Enemies in the Dark

Namikaze Minato called the higher-ups in the village to announce the five Kages meeting. At first, some people expressed opposition, but after learning that the guards would be Yamanaka Ryo and Kakashi, they shut up right away.

Namikaze Minato, Yamanaka Ryo, and Kakashi all took the preparation to the Country of Iron.

According to the time in the letter from Fourth Raikage, the Five Kages Conference was held ten days later.

Before Yamanaka Ryo and Shikamaru stopped at the Country of Iron while traveling, there was a barrier of time and space left by him. They could directly teleport there on time...

…..

While the Country of Iron was preparing for the Five Kages Conference, an unexpected guest came to Akatsuki's east base. This man was wearing a large black robe and wrapped himself in the black robe, walking straight towards the base.

"Not good. The front is a private space. I don't want anyone to bother." White Zetsu said from the ground.

The black-robed man was not only angry when he saw someone blocking him but seemed a little excited: "I finally found you, Akatsuki!"

Hearing the black-robed man's words, Black Zetsu got out of the ground and asked, "Looking for us? Who are you?"

"I'm just like you who wants to make this world a mess." The black-robed man raised his head, exposing the white corners on his forehead and the blood-red Rinnegan on his forehead.

Black Zetsu was startled by the appearance of the black robe. Such a characteristic is obviously that Kaguya was afraid of her lifetime: "Are you Ōtsutsuki Clan?"

"Oh? Do you know Ōtsutsuki? What's going on, Yakushi Kabuto? Don't you say that there is no Ōtsutsuki Clan in this world?" The black-robed man hearing this is also a bit surprised, closing the eyes to himself.

Black Zetsu speculated that the black-robed man communicates with others through a Spiritual link similar to Yamanaka Clan, but he does not know who this Yakushi Kabuto he was talking to.

"That's it, that's why I asked you to come to them." Yakushi Kabuto, on the other side, knew what he had to say to the black-robed man.

The mood of the black-robed man calmed down quickly, and then he looked at Black Zetsu and said: "Call that fake Uchiha Madara. I have something to ask him."

Knowing that the person in front of him was Ōtsutsuki clansman, Black Zetsu had a kind of innate fear of him. Facing the order of the black-robed man, Black Zetsu dived into the ground to Obito's room and notified him immediately.

...

Obito, hearing this jumped straight from the bed: "Suspicious black-robed man of Ōtsutsuki Clan? Black Zetsu, you didn't make a joke, right?"

Black Zetsu nodded: "Rinnegan with red on his forehead. It should be right."

"That kind of thing happens! You go out. First, I'll be right there!" Said Obito; he put on a mask, then entered Kamui space, and hid the Ice Scalpel of Yamanaka Ryo in his sleeve.

…..

After a while, Obito came outside the base and saw the black-robed man that Black Zetsu said.

The black-robed man looked at Obito and finally gave a scornful smile: "So, you are from the Uchiha Clan. It turns out to be the thin bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki branch."

"Do you have something to do with me?" Obito asked directly without paying attention to his sarcasm.

"I want to see Goddess Kaguya-sama as you said, and I need those Bijuu in your hand as keys. There are two options for you. First, give me the Bijuu, and while we are at it, tell me how to summon the container that holds Bijuu too, and then you leave the matter completely. Second, cooperate with me to help me meet Kaguya-sama, and I will give you the rewards you deserve. "

"What do I get in return? What can you do anyway?"

"A Rinnegan. Is this condition sufficient?" A black-eyed bottle appeared in the hands of the black-robed man, with a red Rinnegan eyeball on his forehead.

"What do you want Kaguya to do?" Obito didn't immediately agree but stayed calm and collected in a black-robed man.

"Don't you understand? Kaguya-sama is our Royal Family. I just want to take her back."

Hearing this, Black Zetsu had cold sweat percolating from his forehead. As Kaguya's son, he knows Kaguya's identity better than anyone else. The person in front of him interprets Kaguya's identity correctly.

But there must be other purposes besides taking her back…

"Last question, are you alone? You also know the entire Ninja World we face. How can you help us if you are just on your own?"

"Indeed, but I also have prepared some experts to face them. Although there was no other clansman, I have this Edo Tensei summon ."

A few coffins came out of the black-robed man's summon. He snapped his fingers, and the coffin opened automatically, revealing the people inside.

"Second Hokage, Third Raikage, Second Tsuchikage, Sasori, Kakuzu, Hidan! This…"

"This is only part of it... How about these two!"

After that, two more coffins appeared out of thin air, and the people inside made the black White Zetsu, and Obito sucked in a cold breath.

After a moment of silence, Black Zetsu said, "Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, you found their corpses."

"These two guys have the same strength as me. There are three of us who can trample this world. You also saw my trump card. Now it's your choice!"

After Obito pondered, he agreed to cooperate with the black-robed man and told the black-robed man Gedō Mazō's summon method to show his sincerity.

"Very good. Our cooperation is set up. When I came to you, another of my collaborators noticed that higher-ups in this world were going to hold a conference in a place called Country of Iron. I just took this opportunity to ask them about the other two Bijuu's whereabouts."

After speaking, the black-robed man put a ring finger, put away the coffin, and turned away.

"Obito, do we really need to cooperate with him?" White Zetsu solemnly asked after the black-robed man left.

"If I refuse, I may be dead just now… That person lets us see so many things, both revealing our strength and threatening us. He is stronger than us, so I have to agree. By the way, Black Zetsu, if you would compare his strength to Uchiha Madara, who's stronger? "

Obito's words interrupted Black Zetsu's thoughts. Black Zetsu pondered, saying: "At least it would not be weaker than Madara before Rinnegan was turned on."

"Really? Then it seems that our ally can match him. I need to do something now, you wait for me here, and I'll get Nagato's eyes."

.....

In the blink of an eye, Obito appeared in the Country of Fire border. After confirming that no one was around, he snapped off the Ice Scalpel that Yamanaka Ryo had left him.

Soon Yamanaka Ryo appeared: "Obito, is there anything you need from me?"
