Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

He is Orochimaru's watcher, but also one of the people imprisoned.

Orochimaru is an excellent partner for an ambitious individual like Black Zetsu.

His current secret donations to orphanages may simply be due to some childhood sentiments, rather than a genuine act of kindness like that of Nono.

Jiraiya was somewhat worried.

Tsunade sighed helplessly to the side.

He is different from Nono.

Dou knows very well what kind of person he is.

They just didn't say it outright.

"You don't want to stay in Konoha, do you?"

Kakashi retorted mercilessly, "Although the advisor is a bit annoying, as one of the Legendary Sannin and having made huge contributions before, shouldn't you become Hokage?"

"Chiba has to leave due to normal business."

"Jiraiya, we're just having a drink together today, so please don't bring up such unpleasant topics."

He's not a good person.

Jiraiya sighed, "If I had known this would happen, I would have run away."

Orochimaru is currently a prisoner, and if Black Zetsu makes some promises, he thinks Orochimaru might just run away.

Tsunade said calmly, "If he hadn't left, how could Black Zetsu and the others have made a move? Those people are too patient. If we don't lure them out, they might still be alive and causing trouble even after we're dead."

Yagyu Chiba didn't completely trust him, or rather, Chiba knew himself too well.

"What a disappointment! We've been waiting for that guy for two or three years. Chiba is living a more and more leisurely life now. He's even gone on vacation. We don't even know where he went."

"Has Orochimaru been quiet lately?"

Jiraiya cried out indignantly, "Compared to Chiba, is my contribution even worth mentioning? He can run, so why can't I!"

……

"Pah, what kind of contribution was that? Kakashi, don't insult me."

"Yeah, you're right. I hope it can be resolved soon, otherwise it'll be really unsettling."

Jiraiya sighed.

He was able to stay in Konoha partly because the ninja world had indeed been in turmoil recently, with all the White Zetsu retreating and the relationships between the five great villages seemingly less harmonious than before.

This is because of the legend of Chiba setting sail.

of course.

Konoha understood that it wasn't just a rumor; Chiba was indeed no longer in Konoha, but had gone on a sea voyage.

According to Chiba...

He wanted to go out and see what kind of systems existed outside the ninja world, and see if they could learn from each other.

Chiba didn't say exactly where he went.

The current situation in Konoha is quite similar to the initial state after the First Hokage's death, with a group of people secretly plotting and spying, and Konoha being a small boat on the edge of a storm.

Who knows when the other four villages might launch an attack?

not to mention.

At this very moment, Black Zetsu is also secretly watching.

Staying outside could pose certain risks.

Jiraiya sighed softly.

Without the pillar of support, we realize how difficult the situation is.

Even after the First Hokage left, Konoha still had the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, but even so, they still couldn't withstand the covetous eyes of many powerful figures.

It's the same today.

Konoha is very powerful now, with rapid development in technology and economy. No village in the entire ninja world can compare to them, but to say they can simultaneously attack four villages...

Even without Chiba, Jiraiya was still somewhat apprehensive.

The pressure is too great.

but.

There is pressure, but also motivation.

There have been many outstanding individuals who have risen to prominence over the years, such as Sasuke and Naruto, who have become leaders of the younger generation.

As for Uchiha Itachi...

The current Itachi is somewhat similar to Kakashi back then. Although the Uchiha incident is over and no one is suppressing the Uchiha anymore, only two clansmen remain...

Also.

The events of that year weighed heavily on Itachi's heart like a mountain; it would be a lie to say he was completely unaffected.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

Just then, a figure appeared in an instant. Everyone perked up and asked Tian Tian, ​​"Tian Tian, ​​is Qian Ye back?"

"No, he hasn't come back yet, but there's something very urgent."

He always has a serious expression.

Everyone stood up, and the already heavy mood instantly became even heavier.

The Hidden Grass Village has been invaded.

of course.

That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the ninja named Ryuzetsu has disappeared. According to Kusagakure, Ryuzetsu is the master of the Dragon Life Reincarnation Bloodline Limit.

The ability of the bloodline limit is resurrection.

Upon hearing this, they understood.

"Tiantian, what did Chiba say?"

"He didn't say much, it's like he didn't receive the message, and he hasn't replied yet."

I'm getting anxious every day.

If Chiba gives any reply, she won't be in a hurry anymore.

"We can't drink anymore, let's have a meeting. Where are the people from Kusagakure?"

"In the shadows."

"Walk."

……

"Sir, we've caught him."

"He is?"

"Ah."

Black Zetsu stood up, looked at the ninja controlled by White Zetsu in front of him, and after a few seconds of silence, said, "He is not."

"what?"

The White Zetsu looked at each other, completely bewildered.

A little while later.

The two said, "I've confirmed it; he does indeed possess a bloodline limit and the ability to revive others."

"You could say that, but it's definitely not the real thing."

"why?"

"Based on my understanding of that kid."

Black Zetsu said, "If he can research techniques at the level of the Sage of Six Paths, how could he not find a mere bloodline limit to revive others? What we found must have been left behind by him."

"Hey hey hey."

Black Zetsu sneered, feeling a surge of annoyance.

How could he have ever been looked down upon like this?

No.

Not just him, but also Ban.

That guy named Chiba didn't even take Uchiha Madara seriously, and he threw it out on his own initiative.

"You underestimate me."

"However, I'm willing to take the bait if you throw out the bait. At least if I can summon Madara back, I'll have a few more helpers. If it doesn't work out, it won't bother me."

Black Zetsu was in a great mood, only thinking that the other party was extremely stupid.

Side Story - Black Zetsu's Resurrection Plan 5

"This is……"

Inside the dimly lit cave, a figure drifted awake.

He opened his eyes, looked around, and his face was somewhat blank. After a while, he gradually came to his senses.

Resurrected!

"Zetsu, it's you? And where are Nagato and Obito?"

Ban moved his hands slightly, then looked at them and sighed softly, "It seems something has happened that I don't know about."

"Yes, many years have passed, and the situation is somewhat complicated now. Please allow me to explain it to you in detail."
