Uchiha: Starting as the Jinchuriki of Tobirama Chapter 172 - 33: Aomi and Zetsu, the First Meeting of Two S

"Doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning up the house is really tiring, don’t you understand..."

Zetsu complained to Uchiha Obito while frowning and inspecting the burn marks on his arm, shaking his head:

"Have you been training in those high-tier Fire Release techniques again? You should relax a bit, don’t push yourself too hard."

"That Uchiha Setsuna elder, I always feel like he has bad intentions, it’s best to stay away from him, Obito..."

Uchiha Obito chuckled, "Isn’t it so that I can improve my skills faster and protect you better?"

"That Setsuna elder, I also feel there’s sothing wrong with him. Aomi is clearly such a good person, yet he keeps speaking ill of Aomi to ..."

"But don’t worry, Rin, I’m very strong! I can handle all of this!" Uchiha Obito assured, patting his chest.

Zetsu quietly applied ointnt to Uchiha Obito’s arm and massaged it, eyes showing a seemingly genuine concern.

Seeing Zetsu like this, Uchiha Obito couldn’t help but smile, and even the soreness from a day’s training was forgotten.

Recently, Uchiha Setsuna had intensified Uchiha Obito’s training regin and even visited their ho to check on Zetsu, much like a kindly elder, praising their relationship.

However, in his words, he continuously implanted psychological hints to Uchiha Obito.

For instance, he emphasized protecting Uchiha Rin, suggested that such a girl could not be regained once lost, reminded him of the pride of the Uchiha Clan, and subtly attacked Aomi...

Uchiha Setsuna tried to use words as a weapon to sow discord between Aomi and Uchiha Obito, constantly highlighting that the revival of the Uchiha Clan could only be achieved through a hawkish stance and that compromising with Konoha was aningless.

On the other hand, Uchiha Setsuna continually sought, through an observational perspective and seemingly neutral language, to deepen Zetsu’s position in Uchiha Obito’s heart.

Zetsu, who had dealt with the Uchiha Clan and the reincarnation of Indra for a millennium, could instantly see the hidden madness and obsession in Uchiha Setsuna’s heart.

Whenever Uchiha Setsuna looked at Zetsu, what seed to be mild and kindly eyes harbored cruelty and brutality deep within.

Well-versed in human nature, especially that of the Uchiha, Zetsu saw through his disguise as if looking at a transparent person, and with a little investigation into Uchiha Setsuna’s background, guessed his entire mindset.

A useless barking loser, neither possessing strength nor future, but full of unvented anger.

However, his thoughts bore so resemblance to Uchiha Madara’s, both wanting to push Uchiha Obito’s darkness and use him as a pawn...

Only, Uchiha Madara was the one who dispatched Zetsu, while Uchiha Setsuna had his eyes on Zetsu.

In Zetsu’s view, though the strategies of Uchiha Madara and Setsuna were both like those of strategic geniuses, they had so many flaws that they were laughable, as if devised with a slap to the head.

But the issue lies in that Uchiha Madara is the only wielder of the Rinnegan in the Ninja World, possessing the Power of All Things, the best vessel and offering for reviving Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Even if Zetsu did not agree with Uchiha Madara’s plan, it could only grudgingly help him clean up, as there was no choice.

But as for Uchiha Setsuna, who do you think you are!

A re senile and muddle-headed Three Tomoe, daring to set your sights on its prey?

You’re courting death!

After Uchiha Setsuna left, Zetsu easily dismissed the verbal manipulations of Uchiha Setsuna with a few words, firmly holding Uchiha Obito’s heart.

Yet at the sa ti, Uchiha Obito’s affection for Aomi also left Zetsu quite shocked.

Zetsu clearly rembered that Uchiha Obito, this love-struck fool, had once had a rift with Aomi over the girl Nohara Rin, and at that ti, it was on this point that Uchiha Setsuna brainwashed Uchiha Obito, with remarkable success.

But since the last eting with Aomi, Uchiha Obito inexplicably regarded Aomi as his best friend in his heart!

Zetsu even suspected that, even without its pillow talk to manipulate Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Setsuna’s words could never shake the position of Aomi in his heart.

Zetsu harbored so apprehension, that Aomi’s thods of manipulating human emotions seed no worse than its own...

Theoretically speaking, Zetsu didn’t wish for the relationship between Uchiha Obito and Aomi to sour.

Uchiha Obito was its pawn for resurrecting its mother, while Aomi was the person chosen by Uchiha Madara, and the two should have a cooperative relationship in the future.

In Zetsu’s eyes, Aomi hid secrets within...

As the third son of Otsutsuki Kaguya, Zetsu sensed sothing unusual with Aomi’s Chakra on that day when Aomi lost control; it was definitely not a simple Uchiha...

Recently, rumors in Konoha claid that Aomi possessed exceptional talent, even able to learn the Kekkeigenkai adamantine chains of the Uzumaki Clan.

However, Zetsu didn’t think this was the case...

Was it truly learned? Or did Aomi actually possess the blood of the Uzumaki Clan?

Zetsu continually awaited a discreet opportunity to et Aomi up close, to understand that unknown Chakra.

"I’m telling you, recently..."

Zetsu and Obito leaned on the sofa; with the financial backing from Aomi, their material lives had improved as well.

Zetsu wrapped its millennia of toil and worries in a veneer, pretending they were daily unhappinesses, and poured them out for Uchiha Obito to hear, releasing its inner stress.

Even Zetsu had to admit, talking to Uchiha Obito was indeed an enjoyable activity.
