Chapter 392 Obito, the Abandoned

"Ah Fei, I have some bad news for you."

Inside the base, Zetsu suddenly emerged from the ground, and the black Zetsu Obito spoke.

"What news?"

Obito, who was about to head to Amegakure with Kabuto, suddenly turned his gaze in that direction.

Kabuto also looked at Black Zetsu, somewhat curious about what unfortunate news Black Zetsu had mentioned.

"Nagato is no longer in Amegakure," Black Zetsu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Obito's pupils constricted instantly: "Not in Amegakure? Could it be...?" A bad thought arose in his mind.

"Yes, we don't know when he set off for the Land of Iron, but he's already inside the Land of Iron. If it weren't for White Zetsu sending a clone to the Land of Iron to find out about the Five Kage Summit and accidentally discovering him, we wouldn't know when we would have known he had gone to the Land of Iron," Black Zetsu said.

"It seems, Fei, that things are developing in the direction we least wanted to see."

Obito's face, hidden beneath the mask, had darkened.

After learning that the Five Great Ninja Villages were about to hold the Five Kage Summit, he and Zetsu discussed the matter and concluded that the worst-case scenario for the Five Kage Summit would be that Nagato would decide to show up and meet with the Five Kage to discuss the return of the Tailed Beasts.

This is not impossible.

After all, Nagato has now completely betrayed them, returning to his former naive and peaceful mindset. And yesterday they thought they had killed him and eliminated any future worries.

If Nagato wanted to use the return of the Tailed Beasts as an opportunity to seek peace in the ninja world from the five great ninja villages, and if Konoha were to help, it would be quite possible that this would happen.

If Nagato and the five great ninja villages reach an agreement and the seven tailed beasts are returned, then Obito's previous efforts will have been almost entirely wasted.

Even if he were to obtain the Rinnegan, it would be many more years before he could collect all seven tailed beasts again.

"The Five Kage Summit? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. I didn't expect it to happen. It sounds quite interesting," Kabuto Yakushi said with great interest.

"So, it seems we'll have to change our destination to the Land of Iron?" His slightly amusement, cold eyes looked at Obito.

"Abi, come in, I have something to say to you." Black Zetsu glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and gestured for Obito to come with him into the depths of the base to have a private conversation.

Upon hearing this, Obito thought for a few seconds, told Kabuto to wait outside, and then went deep into the base.

In a place where Kabuto Yakushi wouldn't hear, Black Zetsu looked at Obito who had landed in front of him and said, "Obito, things have come to this point, and it's actually an opportunity for us, an opportunity to wipe out the Rinnegan and the Tailed Beasts in one fell swoop."

According to information gathered by the White Zetsu clone, the Konoha Hokage is traveling with Naruto Uzumaki, and they will be appearing together in the Land of Iron.

Therefore, we can completely capture him and the Rinnegan together in the Land of Iron.

If all goes well, we will have control of all eight tailed beasts. Finding the remaining eight-tailed jinchuriki will then be just a matter of time.

.

Obito narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "By the time we get to the Land of Iron, five Kage will have already gathered there. Together with Nagato, they will be an unimaginable force. Even if I, along with Kabuto who can use the Impure World Reincarnation, couldn't possibly win."

Although he was very confident in his abilities, he was still aware of his own limitations in this situation.

Even just Nagato required him and Kabuto to go all out, let alone the five powerful Kage.

"That's not necessarily true," Black Zetsu said calmly.

"That Yakushi Kabuto can resurrect Madara-sama using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, right? Although I don't know how he did it, if Madara-sama were here, defeating Nagato and the five Kage would definitely not be difficult."

There's only one question now: how much power does the Madara-sama he resurrected using Edo Tensei possess?

The person resurrected through Edo Tensei does not necessarily possess all the strength they had in life; their strength is closely related to the materials used in the Edo Tensei.

Under normal circumstances, the resurrected person will be weaker than in life. Even if the materials used are of the best quality, they can only approach the strength of the person in life.

However, if the materials are average and the person being resurrected through Edo Tensei was extremely powerful in life, then their strength after resurrection will be far weaker than in life.

Madara Uchiha!

Upon hearing Black Zetsu utter that name, Obito's eye twitched involuntarily.

This man had once saved him, but also brought him immense pressure.

In the many years since the other party died of old age, he no longer wanted to resurrect the other party as promised. He wanted to control everything himself and control the Eye of the Moon Project, rather than become a pawn in someone else's hands.

So over the years, he deliberately ignored the other person's existence, treating him as someone who was completely dead.

That's why he was so shocked when he saw Kabuto Yakushi resurrected using Edo Tensei not long ago.

He hadn't originally planned to have Kabuto resurrect Madara Uchiha using Edo Tensei in the subsequent battle against Nagato, although he knew that a resurrected Madara wouldn't have much of an impact on him.

He just wanted to avoid running into the other person as much as possible.

But now it seems that he really needs to rely on Madara Uchiha's power to fight for him.

"How much of their former power can the characters you resurrected through Edo Tensei possess?"

Once outside, Obito looked at Kabuto and asked.

"Six to eight out of ten," Yakushi Kabuto replied after a few seconds of thought.

"Due to time constraints, most people's materials are relatively average, and they can only exert 60% or 70% of their strength. Only a few people can exert 80% of their strength."

Obito asked again, his tone devoid of emotion, "Where is Madara Uchiha?"

"Uchiha Madara?" Upon hearing this name, Kabuto licked his lips, a fanatical glint in his eyes.

"Hehe, you've hit the nail on the head. How could I possibly use ordinary materials to deal with a legendary ninja like this? That would be a desecration of such a powerful figure."

"So I prepared the best materials for him, and it was the only top-grade material that I had carefully researched for a long time, which would allow him to exert all his strength before he was born!"

Furthermore—due to his immortality, the strength he can unleash will surpass that of his life!

.....

Kabuto Yakushi was filled with a fervent look of scientific exploration, because this was a new achievement he had made based on the work of his predecessors. Based on this alone, he dared to say that he had completely surpassed Orochimaru!

Will they be able to unleash their full potential?

Obito's pupils contracted slightly.

Is this guy really capable of doing this? You know, the stronger a ninja is, the harder it is for them to unleash their full potential after being resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

He originally thought that it would be enough for Kabuto Yakushi to bring out 60-70% of Madara Uchiha's strength, even if they used good materials.

Unexpectedly, Kabuto Yakushi was able to restore Madara Uchiha to all his former strength. No wonder Madara had such confidence when he came to find him this time.

"Can he unleash Madara Uchiha's full power? I don't believe it. Even Orochimaru couldn't do that. Why don't you resurrect him with Edo Tensei and let us see?" White Zetsu suddenly said in a skeptical tone.

Kabuto was showing off his masterpiece, waiting for others to acknowledge his work, when he suddenly heard White Zetsu's questioning. Even he, who rarely got angry, couldn't help but turn gloomy.

"Alright, then let me show you."

After saying that, he resurrected Madara Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique and placed his soul into the body resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation.

He wasn't afraid that Madara Uchiha would lose control after waking up.

As he said before, he has completely surpassed Orochimaru and even the creator Tobirama Senju in the art of Edo Tensei. Even if he resurrects a powerful figure like Madara Uchiha and allows him to unleash his full power from before his birth, he is confident that he can control him.

Even if things don't go well, he can directly undo the Impure World Reincarnation, so there's nothing to worry about.

At that moment, Obito suddenly had a bad feeling for no reason, because those words didn't sound like something a White Zetsu would say.

Bang! !

As the coffin lid fell, the person inside suddenly opened their eyes, and a cold glint seemed to flash in the air!

Looking at Zetsu before him, Madara Uchiha quickly realized that he had been resurrected. He strode out of the coffin, about to say something, when he suddenly felt something was wrong and looked down at his own body.

"Hmm? Is this the Impure World Reincarnation?"

After realizing his body was different from that of a living person, Madara Uchiha quickly understood the situation. He then looked up at Zetsu and Obito, whose identity could not be concealed despite being hidden behind a mask, and coldly asked, "Obito, Zetsu, what's going on? Why didn't you revive me?"

"Lord Madara, this is what happened..."

Before Obito could answer, White Zetsu and Black Zetsu stepped forward and briefly explained the current situation.

Upon hearing about Nagato's betrayal, Madara Uchiha glanced at Obito and said coldly, "What a useless fellow. After all these years, he can't even control a single pawn."

Obito remained silent.

Yakushi Kabuto's expression at this moment was quite interesting.

After overhearing Zetsu and Madara Uchiha's conversation, he was horrified to discover that Tobi was not the real mastermind behind the Eye of the Moon Plan at all; the real mastermind was actually Madara Uchiha, who had been dead for many years!

The opponent had laid out such a grand scheme in the ninja world long before his death. Whether it was Pain, the nominal leader of the Akatsuki, or Tobi, whose identity was kept secret, they were all pawns of the opponent!

"Interesting, very interesting indeed." Kabuto Yakushi's lips curled into a meaningful smile.

After learning such a shocking revelation, he was not afraid of the truth, but rather felt a sense of excitement.

Because the person who controlled the chessboard has now become one of his resurrected beings, and everything is under his control. Is there anything more ridiculous and exhilarating than this?

But the next second, something happened that sent chills down his spine.

Suddenly, Madara Uchiha formed a hand seal that was extremely familiar to him; it was the hand seal for the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

But when he finished forming the hand seal, he suddenly realized that he could no longer control the other party!

How...how is this possible?!

Kabuto's pupils shrank to pinpoints in an instant.

"Let's go. Since the Rinnegan is still in Nagato's body, let's revive him. By the way, who is this neither-human-nor-snake guy?"

After regaining his freedom, Madara Uchiha wanted to find Nagato immediately so that he could be resurrected.

However, before leaving, he glanced at Kabuto Yakushi and asked Zetsu.

"Hehe, Lord Madara, he is Kabuto Yakushi, Orochimaru's subordinate, and the one who resurrected you using the Impure World Reincarnation technique," Black Zetsu replied respectfully.

Kabuto Yakushi quickly suppressed his shock and almost instantly smiled, saying to Madara Uchiha with a hint of respect, "Lord Madara Uchiha, I am Kabuto Yakushi. I am willing to serve you and help you complete your great plan."

"Of course, I also have a small request. I hope that after this is done, you can send me Uchiha Sasuke for some research."

In this situation, he immediately realized that Tobi, no, Obito had lost his voice, and now the only person he could cooperate with was Uchiha Madara. So he did not hesitate to abandon his previous agreement with Obito.

And because of the other party's unfathomable strength, he adopted a very respectful attitude, placing himself below the other party.

"Uchiha Sasuke?" Uchiha Madara didn't pay much attention to Kabuto Yakushi's loyalty, but was puzzled by Sasuke.

"Lord Madara, you may not know this, but the Uchiha clan has been wiped out. The reasons are complicated, mainly due to their discord with Konoha. This Uchiha Sasuke is the last remaining member of the Uchiha clan besides you and Obito," Black Zetsu replied.

"The Uchiha clan was wiped out?"

Upon hearing of the destruction of the clan he had once painstakingly protected, Madara Uchiha felt not much sadness, but rather a sense of irony.

He had long known that the Uchiha clan would have difficulty surviving in Konoha. At the time, he wanted to lead his clansmen away from Konoha, but those clansmen he wanted to protect betrayed him and did not want to follow him.

He has ended up in this predicament because he brought it upon himself.

"I foresaw this long ago; their fate is entirely their own fault." Madara Uchiha sneered.

Then he looked at Kabuto Yakushi: "You want to use the Uchiha clan for research?"

"Yes, Lord Uchiha Madara." Kabuto Yakushi lowered his head, appearing even more respectful.

"Lord Madara, this guy has completely surpassed Tobirama Senju and Orochimaru in the Impure World Reincarnation technique. You should be able to feel this now. Your body was specially made by him, and he can also resurrect a considerable number of people using Impure World Reincarnation, which should be of some help to your next plan," Black Zetsu said.

"Oh, I see. Then you can study it." Madara Uchiha had complete faith in Black Zetsu's words regarding the product he created with his own will, so when he heard Black Zetsu say that Kabuto Yakushi could help him, he agreed to Kabuto Yakushi's request.

"Thank you very much, Lord Uchiha Madara!" Kabuto Yakushi said with utmost respect.

Immediately afterwards, White Zetsu revealed Nagato's current location, which was different from what he had said before. Nagato was not in the Land of Iron, but in Amegakure!

At this moment, Obito, who had been silent all along, finally realized that he had been deceived by Zetsu. All that Zetsu had said before was not to help him at all, but to make Madara Uchiha reappear without him realizing it.

The reason for doing this is simple: the other party has always been on Madara Uchiha's side, and he is just a puppet temporarily taking Madara Uchiha's place to complete the mission.

But what he didn't know was that Zetsu's actions had nothing to do with Madara Uchiha. It was simply because Black Zetsu believed that he could no longer control the situation and wanted Madara Uchiha to come out and take control of the situation as soon as possible so that the plan to save his mother could proceed smoothly.
