Looking at the intimidating, rapidly approaching Kushina, Obito broke into a cold sweat, instinctively wanting to hide in the Kamui space.
Seeing Obito's body start to distort, Kushina wasn't in a hurry. She just mocked, "If you dare hide in the Kamui space, I'll go back and arrange for Rin to marry Kakashi."
At these words, not only was Obito stunned, but even Minato behind them was shocked.
Obito cared the most about Rin.
For her, he could go against the entire world.
If Rin really married Kakashi, he didn't know how he would face these two in the future.
Could he tell Kakashi, "Your wife is great, I really like her"?
That would be the end of it, Kakashi would handle him.
Kushina's words were a perfect strike, hitting Obito where it hurt the most.
"Exactly. You're a man, don't just hide in the Kamui space every time something happens. That would make you look like a coward."
Obito was trembling with anxiety, but he no longer had the thought of hiding in the Kamui space.
However, he also had a feeling that he would be treated terribly from now on.
But if that's the case, he accepted it.
After all, it was he who had wronged Minato and Kushina first.
"This is good. Stand there, don't move, let me beat you up to vent my anger, and then we'll consider this matter settled."
Obito took off his mask, with a defeated face, and looked at Kushina with difficulty, saying, "Kushina-san, can you go easy on me?"
"No, no, no, if I don't go all out, I'd feel like I'm not doing justice to being called 'Kushina.'"
By this point, Kushina had already reached Obito.
She lightly patted Obito's shoulder, making him freeze in shock.
"You jerk, you still know I'm your teacher's wife. Then how did you treat us?"
With a roar, Kushina gathered all her anger into her hand and slammed it toward Obito's face.
That's right, it wasn't just a hit, it was a full-on slam.
It's easy to imagine just how angry Kushina was about the things that Obito did.
"I won't stop beating you until you're smoking all over, or I'm not your teacher's wife!"
Kushina, in a state of fury, was truly terrifying.
In this state, even Minato dared not provoke her.
But fortunately, even when Kushina was this angry, she still kept some level of rationality.
She may have been beating him, but she didn't use any sealing jutsu.
The Uzumaki clan's sealing jutsu is unmatched.
If Kushina had been a bit more ruthless and used sealing jutsu on Obito, he'd probably be finished for life.
But this was fine. Obito only had some minor external injuries, and with the Hashirama's cells in his body, he would recover quickly.
It just hurt a little during the beating.
Pain was nothing to Obito. The most painful moment for him was when he saw Rin die.
He had already experienced that heart-wrenching pain once. Physical pain was nothing compared to that.
In fact, during the beating, he was even a little concerned if Minato and Kushina had eaten yet.
After all, it was nearly mealtime, and if they hadn't eaten, he wanted to have a meal with his teacher and his wife.
Maybe Kushina's punches were too fast, and Obito ended up speaking incorrectly.
He meant to ask, "Kushina-san, have you eaten? Should we go eat together later?"
But when the words came out, they turned into: "Kushina-san, didn't you eat? Should we go eat first?"
As soon as he said this, Obito realized he had messed up and quickly covered his mouth.
"Fine, fine, fine, so you think I'm not hitting hard enough, huh?"
"Alright, Obito, looks like you've grown over the years. Now you've learned how to mock me."
After finishing her words, Kushina didn't give Obito a chance to explain and unleashed more chakra, increasing the damage she was dealing to him.
Behind her, Minato had a speechless expression, thinking, Has Obito really been hit so hard by Kushina that he's lost his mind to say something like that?
"Kushina, that's enough, can't you see you're about to break his brain?"
"What do you mean his brain is broken? His brain was already broken."
Kushina replied impatiently to Minato, but didn't continue slapping Obito.
"It's fine, Sensei, I've implanted Hashirama's cells, I can still handle it."
Upon hearing this, Minato was completely stunned.
He had seen stupidity before, but never this level of stupidity.
"Sigh~ Looks like Obito really has lost his mind. Can't you just take a beating and stop talking?"
"Don't say you're my student anymore, this is so embarrassing."
Minato behind her already had his face covered, unable to look anymore.
Kushina, on the other hand, was also speechless.
She couldn't tell if Obito was speaking seriously or mocking her.
"Why do you have to say something? Just take the beating like you're supposed to."
Unable to figure out if Obito was serious or mocking her, Kushina simply stopped thinking about it.
In any case, all she had to do was beat this guy to her heart's content.
While Obito was being beaten by Kushina, in a dark cave in the Land of Rain, Black Zetsu was carrying Nagato's dead body inside.
Inside the cave was a whole different world. The space was enormous.
Not only was there electricity, but all kinds of household appliances were also present.
At this moment, there was someone fiddling with jars and bottles, as if conducting an experiment.
"Is it done?"
Looking at Zetsu coming back, the person didn't even raise their head, still focused on observing what was on the experimental table.
"Yeah."
With Nagato's body casually discarded on the ground, Zetsu looked at the person and said, "Hiruko, stop messing with that junk. Did you learn the Reanimation Jutsu scroll I gave you or not?"
"Who said this stuff is junk? This is an important part of mastering ultimate power."
Hiruko didn't mind Zetsu's words.
In his eyes, people like Zetsu, who don't understand, would never comprehend his greatness.
"The Reanimation Jutsu isn't difficult. I've learned it, but you want me to improve it, and that will take a little more time."
Zetsu nodded.
As long as Hiruko had learned the Reanimation Jutsu, that's enough.
With that, they would have a trump card to turn things around.
Obito was completely unreliable.
To carry out the so-called Eye of the Moon Plan, only Uchiha Madara himself could do it.
Though it wasn't according to the original plan, using the Reanimation Jutsu to revive him was still a way to bring him back.
Madara: Zetsu, are you trying to trick me with the Reanimation Jutsu?
Zetsu: Just tell me if you're alive or not.
Reviving Uchiha Madara would make things much simpler.
Looking at the history of the ninja world, there aren't many with the power of Uchiha Madara. He's a rare existence.
Plus, with the immortality that the Reanimation Jutsu brings, who could stand against Madara?
Perhaps even Senju Hashirama wouldn't stand a chance?
Of course, achieving this still required improving the Reanimation Jutsu.
The goal was to bring back Madara's body in his prime.
Hiruko was the person Zetsu had found to help improve the Reanimation Jutsu.
And to prevent this person from being assassinated, his strength needed to be increased quickly.
To do this, Zetsu made a bold decision.
"Hiruko, do you want the Rinnegan?"
