Chapter 175 » Infinite Tsukuyomi? What a Laughable Plan!
Pain's face suddenly turned grim.
Ten minutes earlier, the masked man calling himself Madara Uchiha had contacted him through the Magic Lantern Body Technique, instructing him to reach out to Kakuzu and Sasori.
To their utter shock, when the video connection was established, they saw Yūsuke — the man with whom they currently had an antagonistic relationship!
What in the world was happening?
Pain found himself thoroughly confused by this turn of events.

In a secluded forest on the border of Kirigakure.
Obito stood on a rock. The moment he saw Yūsuke, his face beneath the mask darkened.
"This... Kakuzu! Sasori! What's going on here? Won't you two give me a proper explanation?" Beneath his mask, his expression turned ice-cold.
At this moment, it didn't take a genius to figure out that these two had likely betrayed them.

On the second floor of the ANBU building in Kirigakure.
Both Kakuzu and Sasori fell silent.
Yūsuke chuckled lightly. He glanced at the projections of Obito and Pain, then burst into laughter.
"Tsk tsk. Let me tell you something, Pain. You guys have some nerve, don't you? Taking advantage of my absence from Kiri, using Kakuzu and Sasori as cannon fodder to create an opportunity, and then trying to snatch the Tailed Beast jinchūriki from me? I have to say, your plan is utterly laughable." He sighed as he said this.
First, it's doubtful they could successfully execute their "diversionary tactic". Moreover, even if Obito could use Kamui to enter this ANBU building, it would be impossible for him to easily extract a Tailed Beast jinchūriki from here.
This building houses dozens of Kage-level ninjas alone! Add to that the countless ANBU-level operatives, and this little Uchiha wouldn't stand a chance of breaking out.
Unless, of course, he uses Kamui to escape alone.
This is why Yūsuke dismissed their strategy as utterly pathetic.

Outside Kirigakure.
Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Obito spoke in a deep voice.
"Don't be so smug. No one can stop my plan!"
"Your plan?" Yūsuke sneered, "You mean that so-called... Infinite Tsukuyomi plan?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Obito's body began to tremble violently. His pupils dilated with disbelief!
Yūsuke Kamizuki! How did he know about the plan?!
This plan was his biggest secret. In the entire ninja world, currently, only he and Black Zetsu knew about it — apart from the deceased Madara.
Black Zetsu would never betray him. So... how did Yūsuke know?!
Inside the Akatsuki base, Pain's eyes flickered constantly.
"Infinite Tsukuyomi plan?"
What kind of plan was this? Why, after years of cooperation with this self-proclaimed Madara Uchiha, had he never heard of it?
"You... You! How did you know about this?" Obito's breathing grew erratic. His face darkened as he asked the question burning in his mind.
"Do you think I would tell you?" Yūsuke shook his head, sneering, "However, I can tell you one thing in advance. Whether or not I interrupt your plan, this so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi will ultimately be nothing more than a wasted effort. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Black Zetsu beside you. Right?"
A slight smirk curved the corner of his mouth.
Outside Kirigakure, Obito frowned. He turned to look at the Black Zetsu beside him.
Black Zetsu was dumbfounded the moment Yūsuke uttered the words "Infinite Tsukuyomi".
How did he know about this plan? Moreover, from what he was saying, it seemed he might know the true purpose of this plan. How was this possible?
"Obito, he might have discovered this secret from the stone tablet beneath the Naka Shrine of the Uchiha clan..." Black Zetsu's mind raced frantically. Finally, he came up with a plausible explanation.
After all, according to their intelligence on Yūsuke, he also possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan. So, it wasn't impossible for him to have learned this secret.
"I see... I almost fell for his trick!" Obito finally came to his senses.
At this time, Yūsuke continued, "Since the Akatsuki has started to make their move, well then, if I don't retaliate, wouldn't it seem like I'm being a bit timid? Sigh..."
He let out a sigh.
"I originally wanted to wait a bit longer before dealing with you guys. But now it seems, I'll have to make my move!"
