After inspecting the status of the White Zetsus, Kyle walked over to the culture pod containing the very first White Zetsu.
To ensure Black Zetsu possessed formidable combat power, this particular White Zetsu was the one Kyle had poured the most heart and effort into creating.
Therefore, much like the Six Paths of Pain having their own names, giving him a name of his own seemed quite necessary.
"Tobirama"—no, "Tobi"—was the name of this White Zetsu.
Originally, Tobi's opening date would have had to wait until Easter next year. However, now that Kyle had become an Obscurial Jinchūriki, he was fully capable of accelerating this process.
When Dumbledore and Grindelwald had joined forces to help him engrave the Hour-Reversal Charm—Izanagi—into his Sharingan, Kyle, who had been watching from the sidelines, had also picked up some rudimentary time magic.
Ahem, to be precise, Grindelwald had intentionally slowed down his movements and revealed the principles and casting process of the Hour-Reversal Charm to Kyle without reservation; only then was he able to learn it.
Although he did not yet have the capability to engrave a dōjutsu into a new eyeball on his own after using Izanagi, accelerating the growth of a White Zetsu was well within his power.
Even though Grindelwald could accomplish with one portion of magic power what Kyle, due to his lack of practice, needed ten portions to achieve, he had magic power in abundance and wasn't afraid of waste.
Simple and crude—just pour in a massive amount of magic power.
An Obscurial was just that unreasonable.
As Kyle formed hand seals, a blended energy of magic power and vitality surged furiously into Tobi's body.
Because plant cells also existed within Tobi's body, Kyle could naturally use the methods of natural magic used to force-grow plants to accelerate Tobi's growth.
He wasn't afraid of consuming too much vitality either.
At any rate, as long as vitality wasn't consumed so rapidly in a short period as to damage the foundation, it could quickly be restored through heavy eating and drinking.
Soon, under the dual effects of time acceleration and magic power infusion, Tobi's body swelled up like a balloon, growing from a young boy of around twelve or thirteen into a fully developed adult.
Once the nutrient fluid was drained, Black Zetsu, who had originally been attached to Kyle's clothes, couldn't wait to slip into the small crack that had just opened in the pod, attaching itself to Tobi's body and taking over half of Tobi's physique.
Stepping out of the culture pod, green grass leaves grew out from Black-White Zetsu's body, quickly transforming into the familiar image of a pitcher plant that Kyle knew so well.
Glancing down at his naked body, Black Zetsu shifted his thoughts slightly, and a black cloak adorned with red clouds materialised over his body surface.
"Tobi."
Afterward, Kyle transmitted his natural magic to Tobi without reservation.
Right now, Tobi's strength was even greater than that of the Deva Path and the Asura Path.
The magic power inside the Deva Path was a pitiful 0.4 Kyles—even though 0.4 Kyles was already far above the average level in the wizarding world.
As for the Asura Path, due to the presence of Uru metal, the magic power inside its body had reached the amount of two Kyles.
Tobi, simply because of his late opening date and the massive infusion of a hundred Kyles of magic power after Kyle became an Obscurial Jinchūriki, directly reached a magic power quantity of five Kyles.
With five Kyles of magic power, setting aside opening a Senju Giant Buddha, conventionally summoning a thirty-meter-tall Susanoo and draping a Wood Golem or Wood Dragon of equivalent height over it posed no major problem.
As the last speck of light swirling at the wand tip vanished, from this moment on, the Akatsuki organization could be said to be officially established.
Uh, except the current scale of the Akatsuki organization was a bit shabby.
Strictly speaking, the Akatsuki organization currently consisted of only Kyle alone.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Kyle now had the Six Paths of Pain as well as Black and White Zetsu under his command.
Black Zetsu was, after all, a product of Kyle's Patronus Charm, and the other seven were all cloned using Kyle's cells.
Calculating it like this, these people were essentially equal to Kyle himself, so saying that the Akatsuki organization had only Kyle alone was perfectly fine.
As for George, Fred, Cedric, and the others, Kyle had originally intended to bring them the Akatsuki rings and uniforms to formally extend an invitation to them.
However, right after he gave a ring to Hermione, the famous proposal incident occurred.
And then, there was no "then."
Kyle didn't have the guts to stubbornly hand the remaining rings to the other three "Father-Troublers" under those circumstances, so the matter of inviting them to join the Akatsuki organization ended up blowing away like dust in the wind.
Perhaps later, Kyle would turn the melted mithril rings into pendants or something to give to them before inviting them to join Akatsuki.
But as for the current Akatsuki organization, it really was just him alone.
How miserable.
With all members of the Six Paths of Pain and Black-White Zetsu assembled, another plan of Kyle's was about time to be executed.
Originally, Kyle had planned to send Pain to the forests of Albania to search for traces of Voldemort, preferably sending Black Zetsu to Voldemort's side to act as a double agent or something.
That way, whenever Voldemort wanted to cause trouble at Hogwarts, he would be able to receive news and not be caught too passively.
But now...
Kyle had a new idea.
Located in Southeastern Europe, Albania was rather unremarkable in both the magical world and the Muggle world.
If translated into the Naruto world, Albania's status was roughly equivalent to those small nations that didn't even possess a hidden ninja village.
In this way, if one wanted to pull off certain operations—for instance, having the Akatsuki organization launch a coup d'état, just like Nagato had done to Hanzo back then, to replace this country's Ministry of Magic—it wouldn't draw too much attention either.
Furthermore, due to the weakness of the Albanian Ministry of Magic, dark wizards across the European region who carried bounties on their heads basically fled to Albania.
This also resulted in the Albanian magical world being completely described as a lawless land.
In such a muddy, giant pool of water, hiding oneself couldn't be easier.
When the time came, the Akatsuki organization could take Albania as its center, constructing and expanding its power bit by bit.
Maybe one day, the Albanian Ministry of Magic could even be renamed Amegakure—the Hidden Rain Village.
Thinking of this, Kyle fished out an Akatsuki ring from his bag that he hadn't had time to melt down and remake yet.
With the infusion of magic power, this ring was turned into a Portkey by Kyle—a Portkey leading to Albania over two thousand kilometers away.
The Animal Path was kept behind by Kyle to take charge of looking after this White Zetsu manufacturing center.
The other five Paths, led by Black Zetsu, left Hogwarts under the cover of the dark night.
Once they moved beyond the range of Hogwarts' Anti-Disapparition Jinx, utilizing the Portkey's teleportation, they vanished from the spot in an instant.
At a window high up on a tower, a silhouette gazed fixedly at the place where Zetsu and Pain had disappeared.
"Kyle... what on earth are you trying to do..." Dumbledore murmured softly.
