Kamui!

Black Zetsu, whose body had been liquefied by Nagato's attack, didn't even have time to recover the fragments of his form. In a panic, he transferred the part containing his consciousness into Obito's body.

He was desperate to activate the Kamui space and make a hasty escape.

But just then, you revealed yourself, and with a reverse Kamui, you severed any chance of the two escaping via spatial jutsu.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu once again liquefied, intending to flee underground.

But the moment his black liquid body made contact with the ground, a sizzling noise rang out.

Accompanied by a shriek of pain, a plume of pitch-black smoke billowed up—

Black Zetsu had run headfirst into the barrier you'd laid earlier, imbued with dual rule-based forces, and was now being incinerated by their combined power.

Despite Black Zetsu's unique nature rendering him immune to most ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu—sealing techniques included—he now found himself helpless.

Unfortunately for him, the barrier he now faced was constructed using two intertwined rules of power.

In terms of sheer strength, it was certainly no Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei...

But it wasn't needed for sealing Kaguya—just capturing Black Zetsu was more than enough!

All his so-called tricks? In your eyes, nothing but cheap parlor games that relied on his information advantage to toy with mere mortals.

With no options left, Black Zetsu gave up on fleeing.

At the same time, the hesitation in Obito's heart vanished—cornered, he finally chose to fight back.

Obito had been hesitant to strike Nagato directly, his heart still uncertain in the face of that oppressive divine aura—especially since Nagato had just received the power of faith and had yet to fully suppress it.

Unable to muster the will to fight Nagato, Obito turned and unleashed his most powerful self-created Fire Style jutsu toward you instead.

But the flames, distorted and enhanced to their limit by Kamui, didn't consume you as he had hoped—

Instead, they reversed direction and surged back at him.

The full-powered Fire Style technique he had poured everything into... now blasted him in the face.

This was nothing more than a trivial application of your mastery over the rule of fire.

This... is the overwhelming power a god wields over mortals.

If not for your desire to give Obito a little "lesson," you could've prevented him from using Fire Style at all—or ignited his chakra mid-casting, reducing him to ashes.

Even with White Zetsu's body as a shield, and despite his own regenerative prowess enhanced by White Zetsu cells, Obito could only collapse to the ground, unable to move.

A perfect, measured punishment—just as you intended.

Seeing Obito's counterattack fail, Black Zetsu immediately redirected his focus to Nagato.

With Kaguya's inherited memories, Black Zetsu had far broader insight. He could tell that Nagato had only just awakened this divine power, whereas you had wielded rule-based force for some time now.

So, he forcibly controlled Obito's body, heedless of damage, and unleashed Wood Style.

A massive tree erupted, impaling Obito's body.

Signs of Wood Style going berserk.

Clearly, Black Zetsu intended to use Obito's body as fuel for a final, devastating strike.

Boom!

A thick tree trunk slammed into Nagato, knocking him back ten meters. Countless branches followed in a frenzy, surging toward him like a storm trying to completely entangle him.

Black Zetsu knew that even if he sacrificed Obito and channeled all of his strength into this strike, he could, at best, catch Nagato off-guard and maybe lightly injure him—a far reach even then.

But he only needed a moment!

This was a classic diversion tactic.

Black Zetsu had already gathered his power. He now prepared to take the risk of burning and destroying the black matter that made up his body to forcibly breach the rule-based barrier you'd woven.

Squelch!

Black Zetsu detached from Obito's body and slammed into the sealing barrier.

Like a steak dropped into boiling oil, he sizzled and writhed in agony!

But the sacrifice served its purpose.

Even though the sealing formation was woven from filaments of rule-based power, and even if those threads were impossibly fine and densely packed—there were still microscopic gaps.

And Black Zetsu was attempting to squeeze through those gaps.

Just then, a surge of blood-red steam erupted.

Nagato exploded out of the Wood Style bindings.

Seal!

A golden sphere of light, condensed from pure faith, shot forth—

And merged into the sealing formation you had created.

That divine force perfectly patched the final gap in the barrier.

Black Zetsu's last hope of escape was gone.

This... is the power of a complete deity.

You and Nagato exchanged a knowing smile.

Together, you shrunk the sealing formation into a molten sphere, exposing only Black Zetsu's head for future interrogation.

Then, you walked over to Obito and studied his now woodified body.

Click, click, click...

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

The Wood Style cells had gone berserk, and all they managed was to knock Nagato back ten meters and delay him for a second or two.

Still... some use remains.

Before the rampaging Wood Style completely spread to Obito's head, you struck with a precise hand chop—

Lopping off Obito's head.

Then, you casually grabbed a still-living piece of White Zetsu's body and expertly grafted it onto Obito's severed head.

And so, both Black Zetsu and Obito were captured.

What awaits them now is wave after wave of merciless interrogation!

...

However, once Obito recovered a bit, he once again showed that incredible will to survive.

Taking the chance, he activated Izanagi in an attempt to bargain with you.

So, you decided to use Fugaku's ocular genjutsu.

Within the illusion, you directly plucked Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan from his eye socket and absorbed both its visual jutsu and Ocular Power—teaching him a very painful lesson.

As you absorbed the Kamui Sharingan, you could clearly feel your sensitivity to space growing stronger.

Sadly, this was the last remaining Kamui Sharingan for now.

...

Interrogation begins:

You absorbed Obito into your divine domain.

After implanting a White Zetsu eye for him, you activated Tsukuyomi Space.

The illusion you broadcast—

Was a timeline in which Rin Nohara survived.

In it, Obito had been reduced to just a disembodied head, potted like a plant and placed in Rin's home.

He could only watch—helplessly—as the Rin he loved, once the war ended, fell in love with Kakashi, married him, and had children.

Every step. Every moment. All played out before his eyes.

As Rin and Kakashi slowly aged, Rin's attention to "Obito" gradually diminished.

Their children grew up day by day...

Until one day, while playing ninja games at home, one of the kids accidentally knocked the Obito plant onto the floor.

Rin, showing only a hint of regret, swept Obito into the trash bin.

And when Obito next awoke—

He was in a garbage heap.

As the trash slowly rotted...

Obito, too, was completely forgotten by the world—leaving behind not a single trace.
