Chapter 187: Green Tea
Exiting the cemetery, he teleported to the outskirts of Tanzaku Town. There, he took solace in the safe confines of his own thoughts.
He could not deny that the advantage of having Rin's cells gave him the upper hand. It was not the cells themselves that gave him that triumphant status, but having acquired them early and without anyone knowing.
Obito, who had been manipulated by Madara, was truly a redundant shinobi and a failed byproduct of Naruto.
That character knew that his goal was to revive Madara. If he understood that such a thing was possible in this world, he should have just revived Rin instead.
Then destroying everything could have come next.
But no. The stupidity of these characters was enough to make Arthur roll his eyes and shake his head, knowing that all their antics were just a ploy to keep everyone entertained.
After arriving at a secluded site on the outskirts of Tanzaku Town, he needed to contemplate things.
Tayuya had long departed, moving out of his apartment and purchasing a piece of land somewhere on the fringes of the Water Country. Of course, it was via his funds.
Knowing the nature of his operations, he had no idea when he'd be able to regroup and connect with her again, let alone know when he'd return to that country.
To put it bluntly, he needed to gather more adept pawns. And if the Akatsuki were trying to track him, those same pawns would be in danger.
He pondered if he could still afford to keep pawns like Tayuya or if she might unknowingly lead enemies to him, especially with the implication of Zetsu infiltration methods that were possibly at play in the Water Country.
