Naruto : My system is weird

When the statue suddenly appeared on the sea of the Land of Hot Water, half of Black Zetsu's scalp went numb.

And when it witnessed the thing beat the Three-Tails to death, the other half went numb too.

Though it might not actually have a scalp, no other description could better capture Black Zetsu's current state of mind.

Seriously…

When the statue first appeared in the Land of Fire, it had only been mildly puzzled, not paying it much attention.

Just some ordinary statue—hardly worth wasting White Zetsu to monitor.

After all, it wasn't like the thing could come to life and stop it from saving Mother.

Now, Black Zetsu realized it had been wrong—terribly, terribly wrong.

What the hell is this thing?!

Black Zetsu couldn't comprehend it. In its thousands of years as a master manipulator, it couldn't recall a single piece of intel related to this statue.Not to mention that the stone statue could move, now this thing was pounding both it and its mother into the ground without any trouble at all!!

Black Zetsu suppressed the urge to curse in his heart before continuing to share his latest findings.

"Although I don't know what that stone statue really is..."

"According to the latest intel, it seems to target all large creatures."

Saying this left a bitter taste in Black Zetsu's mouth.

Because if it wanted to rescue its mother, it first needed to summon the God Tree and then initiate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

God Tree = large creature.

Not only that, but Black Zetsu also realized that even collecting the Tailed Beasts beforehand had become an enormous challenge.

The Eye of the Moon Plan...

Was completely stuck at the very first step!

Obito fell silent upon hearing this. After a long pause, he spoke with palpable resentment.

"What about the Three-Tails?"

Just mentioning the Three-Tails made Obito want to vomit blood. The Three-Tails had already died once before, only to luckily revive in the wild, where he happened to find it.

And then?

By the time he reached the scene, the Three-Tails was gone again. After this, Obito had no idea if the Three-Tails would even revive within his limited lifespan...

Hearing this, Black Zetsu suddenly fell silent, blending seamlessly into the darkness.

Indeed...

The revival of Tailed Beasts was unpredictable—it could take days, decades, or even centuries...

At this moment, the mastermind behind the Shinobi World's shadows felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

Especially since recent events in the Shinobi World had increasingly defied its expectations.

This left Black Zetsu feeling deeply insecure.

But...

Fortunately, the Akatsuki Organization was proving highly capable and reliable in their work.

The siege of Amegakure by other villages had already caused an uproar across the Shinobi World.

Although Akatsuki's high-profile actions might affect its long-term plans, Nagato's manipulation of inter-village conflicts to incite strife...

Truly astonished Black Zetsu.

At the very least, Obito would never have been able to pull this off.

Nagato's competence brought Black Zetsu some comfort, offering a rare sense of security.

"Akatsuki is really thriving now."

Instead of answering Obito, Black Zetsu glanced at the villagers wandering the streets and sighed.

It was already late at night, yet the streets were still lively—wasn't this proof that Amegakure was flourishing under Nagato's rule?

"?"

But Black Zetsu's non-answer only made Obito slowly form a question mark in his mind.

He turned toward Black Zetsu's location, shocked and confused. A closer look would reveal his body trembling faintly.

He seemed absolutely livid.

Even the mask on his face couldn't contain the resentment radiating from him.

"I'll say it again! The Three-Tails is dead!!"

"How are we supposed to proceed with the Eye of the Moon Plan now?!"

A few seconds later, Obito's icy voice rang out, laced with killing intent.

But his frantic demeanor only made Black Zetsu sigh inwardly.

Over thousands of years in the Shinobi World, Black Zetsu had learned one universal truth...

Patience is key!

These Uchiha brats really have no self-control!!

How can someone so reckless ever accomplish anything great...

Black Zetsu casually brushed off Obito with a few words, but deep down, it couldn't help but feel a hint of disdain.

Rustle, rustle, rustle...Just as Obito and Black Zetsu finished their argument, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the nearby bushes.

"So that's how it is?"

Black Zetsu: !!

Obito: ??

At that moment, Uchiha Fugaku pushed aside the weeds and stopped before the two of them, his face stern.

What horrified Obito even more was...

This so-called "useless clan head" was glaring straight at them with a pair of Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

"God Power—"

Obito instinctively activated the intangibility of his God Power in fright.

No matter what the other party intended to do, going intangible first was always the safest move.

"Uchiha... Fugaku??"

Black Zetsu muttered under his breath, narrowing his eyes, barely stopping himself from cursing aloud.

What the hell?!

Where the hell did this guy get a Kaleidoscope Sharingan from???

White Zetsu's intel had never recorded anything like this before!

Swish, swish, swish—

Just as Black Zetsu and Obito's vigilance peaked, numerous members of the Uchiha clan emerged around them.

Armed with various weapons, their densely packed Three-Tomoe Sharingan glowing in the night instantly put immense pressure on Obito and Black Zetsu.

Damn it!!

Weren't all the Uchiha clan members supposed to have been killed by Itachi?!

What the hell is going on here???

Obito's big brain went into overdrive like a CPU, but even after three full minutes of mental gymnastics, he still couldn't figure out why the Uchiha clan was here...

Or how they had managed to surround them without anyone noticing.

Shit!

Had their plan been exposed?

Or had Nagato betrayed them?!

At that moment, Black Zetsu and Obito ran through every possible scenario in their heads.

But with their limited intellect, there was no way they could comprehend the thought process of the current Uchiha clan.

"They're demon beasts."

From the crowd, Shisui's figure emerged.

Holding a notebook in his hand, he carefully glanced at Obito and Black Zetsu's position, then back at the descriptions in his notebook, his tone utterly certain.

"Attack together! See if these demon beasts have a Demon Core inside them!"

Obito: ?

Black Zetsu: ??

As Fugaku gave the order, everyone around them simultaneously charged toward Obito and Black Zetsu.

Still reeling from their earlier confusion, the two were now hearing incomprehensible words that made them question their very existence.

Nevertheless, Obito pulled out his fan, and Black Zetsu summoned hundreds of White Zetsu.

"We've been exposed!!!"

"Let's get out of here first!!"

Black Zetsu shouted in panic, ordering the White Zetsu to block the way as he tried to make a quick escape.

But Obito was different—he directly raised his fan and blocked with all his might.

Observing the trajectory of the incoming Ninjutsu, he coldly muttered:

"Uchiha Reflection!"

This technique could reflect most Ninjutsu. A mere group of Three-Tomoe Uchiha...

Were nothing to fear!

However, when the Ninjutsu reached them, Obito was stunned to find that his Uchiha Reflection hadn't repelled the attacks—yet the attacks didn't harm them either...

Obito looked at his fan, then reached out and passed his hand through the body of one of the Uchiha clansmen.

After observing for a full half-minute, he finally spoke uncertainly.

"Is this... a Genjutsu?"
