"What do we do now?" Obito asked Shin after they left. He was out of ideas.

Nagato hadn't reacted at all to his speech; Obito knew his words had been ineffective.

"Simple. Kill that naive Yahiko," Shin said, glancing at Obito.

"If you're going to kill him, I'll even sponsor you with a kunai." Shin pulled out a kunai and offered it to Obito.

Obito looked at the kunai, his lips twitching. Did he need a sponsored kunai? He needed Shin to help him kill Yahiko.

Obito wanted to do it himself, but Nagato never left Yahiko's side. He couldn't find an opportunity to strike. And if he attacked recklessly, he might not be able to kill Yahiko and would also be discovered by Nagato, ruining everything.

"I want you to kill Yahiko. With your strength, you should be able to do it without anyone noticing."

"Though I do find Yahiko annoying, I'm not going to kill him." Shin refused. Killing Yahiko wouldn't be difficult, but it was Obito's problem, not his. And there was no benefit for him, so why bother?

"But I can give you some advice." Shin smiled.

Obito felt a chill run down his spine. That smile... was Shin plotting something?

He was already wary of Shin; now he was even more so.

"You look like you're afraid I'll kill you. Relax, you're still useful. I won't kill you so easily."

Shin saw through Obito's wariness and reassured him.

"You don't have to kill Yahiko yourself. Hanzō, the leader of Amegakure, is wary of the Akatsuki. You can use that to your advantage."

"Oh, and there's also Danzō. If you tell him about the Rinnegan, he'll immediately send people to deal with the Akatsuki."

Yahiko, in the original story, had been killed by Hanzō and Danzō.

"Reveal the Rinnegan's existence?" Obito frowned. That wasn't a good idea.

The Rinnegan was one of the Three Great Dōjutsu. Though few had seen it, its reputation was legendary. It was said to hold the power of creation and destruction, a bit of an exaggeration. Though the Rinnegan was godlike, it couldn't create or destroy the world.

"If the Rinnegan is revealed, won't Nagato be in danger?"

"Are you stupid? If Nagato is in danger, that's a good thing for you. You can save him and gain his trust." Shin said, looking at Obito as if he were an idiot. Couldn't Obito even figure that out?

Obito felt a twinge of annoyance at being treated like an idiot, but he held back his anger. He couldn't defeat Shin; his Kamui was useless against him.

"I've given you the plan. If you still can't kill Yahiko, you might as well commit suicide and forget about the Eye of the Moon Plan."

"Where are you going?" Obito asked as Shin turned to leave. The plan to eliminate Yahiko wasn't complete yet. And as Madara's collaborator, shouldn't Shin contribute to the Eye of the Moon Plan?

"I'm returning to the Land of Whirlpools. Let me know when the plan succeeds. I'll come watch the show."

Shin wasn't interested in chatting with the newly blackened Obito.

....

"Damn it! Is he really Madara's collaborator?" Obito yelled angrily after Shin left.

"He is, Obito. You should be more respectful towards him," Zetsu said, suddenly appearing. It was a warning.

"Don't sneak up on me like that again, or I'll kill you!" Obito glared at Zetsu.

"Understood, Obito." Zetsu was startled by Obito's glare and quickly agreed.

It wasn't strong enough to challenge Obito; its specialty was gathering intel, not combat.

"Uzumaki Shin doesn't seem interested in the Eye of the Moon Plan. Why did Madara collaborate with him?"

"I can't tell you. Ask Madara-sama when he's revived. Hopefully he'll tell you then."

"Hmph." Obito no longer trusted Zetsu completely. It had revealed his plans to Shin. He could only trust himself.

But Zetsu was still useful.

"Zetsu, I have a task for you. Go to Konoha and tell Danzō Shimura about the Rinnegan." Obito had decided to follow Shin's plan.

He wouldn't go to Konoha himself. He wasn't that reckless, not after Shin's lesson. He knew he wasn't strong enough to survive a trip to Konoha.

"Obito, did I hear you correctly? Why would you reveal the Rinnegan's existence? Shouldn't we keep it a secret?" Zetsu was shocked. Was Obito out of his mind?

"Just do as I say. No questions."

"Fine, I'll do it." Zetsu didn't argue further. Perhaps Obito had a plan. It didn't believe Obito would sabotage the Eye of the Moon Plan; he wanted to see Rin Nohara again, after all.
