Starting as the mastermind behind Naruto

Chapter 321 The Last Two Shadow Actors of the Akatsuki Organization (Fourth Update!)

Black Zetsu is actually quite confident.

As long as Uehara Naraku is still willing to communicate, it will definitely be able to persuade him.

Black Zetsu then brought up his own words to Kisame Hoshigaki, slowly recounting how Madara Uchiha entrusted his dreams to a chosen one named Nagato.

Even though Uehara Naraku had heard this story before, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

In Black Zetsu's description, Madara Uchiha is portrayed as a very sensitive and kind old man who, after finally obtaining the Rinnegan, receives guidance from the Sage of Six Paths and finds the right way to save the ninja world.

Unfortunately, Madara Uchiha's life was coming to an end.

"Before death..."

As Black Zetsu spoke of Madara Uchiha's final moments, his head slowly lowered, a hint of sorrow creeping into his voice before it hardened again: "Lord Madara finally made his decision. He decided to gamble his Rinnegan on the new era!"

"..."

Uehara Naraku was stunned by the fright.

Holy crap, that actually sounds really appealing!

What Black Zetsu said sounded vaguely familiar to him!

It must be mentioned that Black Zetsu's acting and lines were incredibly realistic, far more so than those two eliminated characters, Obito and Itachi Uchiha…

Honestly, if Uehara Naraku hadn't been secretly manipulating everything, he would have really thought he'd arrived in a fake ninja world...

Black Zetsu...

He really is his biggest rival in the Best Actor competition!

After a moment of silence, Uehara Naraku continued, "Senior Zetsu, it's a pity you seem to have betrayed the last wish of the legendary Uchiha Madara..."

"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count as betrayal."

Black Zetsu shook his head and continued in a deep voice, "Lord Madara's true wish is for peace throughout the entire ninja world. If only the ninja world could be at peace, if only the light of the Eye of the Moon could illuminate the earth, and only then would there be no more conflict in the ninja world!"

After saying this, Black Zetsu looked at Uehara Naraku and continued, "Uehara, Nagato inherited Madara-sama's eyes and last wishes, while you inherited Nagato's will... This is what the ninja world calls the inheritance of will."

"Uchiha Madara..."

Uehara Naraku frowned, looking puzzled, and whispered, "Is it really that noble? But I learned from the Konoha ninjas..."

"They are all weak."

Upon hearing Uehara Naraku mention Konoha, Black Zetsu quickly retorted, "The weak can only see the crisis before them, while only the strong can see through time and discern the true nature of the ninja world's war."

After saying that, Black Zetsu, seemingly afraid that Uehara Naraku might doubt Madara Uchiha's character, dropped a bombshell: "Furthermore, the reason why Lord Madara thought of the Eye of the Moon Plan was because he obtained the stone tablet left behind by the Sage of Six Paths..."

When Black Zetsu spoke of the Sage of Six Paths, his voice became slightly hoarse: "Legend has it that a thousand years ago, the Sage of Six Paths wished for eternal peace in the ninja world. Given his immense power, naturally no one dared to defy his will..."

At this point, Black Zetsu's voice gradually lowered: "The Sage of Six Paths thought incredibly far ahead. If the ninja world remained peaceful, then naturally nothing would matter; but he guessed that war might break out in the entire ninja world after his death, so he left behind a way to resolve war."

"Is this Project Eye of the Moon?"

Uehara Naraku forcibly suppressed his emotions.

To be honest, I really wanted to laugh.

Black Zetsu harbors an immense hatred for the Sage of Six Paths, yet he's trying to fool him by using the Sage's name. This guy is really something!

And Black Zetsu is really good at acting!

The reason why there have been so many wars in the ninja world for thousands of years is all thanks to this old man!

Unfortunately, Black Zetsu had no idea what Uehara Naraku was thinking.

Black Zetsu, noticing a slight shift in Uehara Naraku's expression, continued in a deep voice, "That's right, it's the Eye of the Moon Plan. Back then, after Madara obtained that stone tablet, he used his Mangekyou Sharingan to decipher its secrets. Therefore, he inherited the will of the Sage of Six Paths!"

"Where is that stone tablet?"

"The Nanka Shrine of the Uchiha Clan."

Black Zetsu looked at Uehara Naraku and whispered seductively, "If you obtain the Rinnegan, you can also decipher that stone tablet. At that time, you will understand that I have never deceived you, and you will also understand the will of the Sage of Six Paths and Lord Madara..."

"I see."

Uehara Naraku seemed somewhat tempted.

As for what he was really thinking, that's undeniable.

They should both have some idea what's going on with that stone tablet.

Uehara Naraku was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke again: "So, what you told me before about being able to revive Lord Nagato, is that true?"

This is the most important thing.

We need to find a way to get Black Zetsu to agree to revive Nagato.

The only slightly troublesome thing is that that bastard Black Zetsu actually wants him to transplant the Rinnegan and oversee the Eye of the Moon Project…

This is truly worrying.

Does becoming the leader of Akatsuki necessarily mean he has to have the Rinnegan as a standard feature?

Why is Black Zetsu trying to transplant the Rinnegan into him all of a sudden?

It's like a nesting doll has been placed on him!

I'm really curious, how does Black Zetsu's brain work, that he actually managed to put a nested doll on the head of the mastermind behind the scenes!

Seeing that Black Zetsu was still silent, Uehara Naraku continued softly, "Zetsu-senpai, if I remember correctly, after Nagato-sama used the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, his life force was exhausted. Even if he is resurrected, he won't last long, right?"

"Then we'll have to use another method."

Black Zetsu broke his silence, grinning broadly. "After Orochimaru and Kabuto obtain Nagato's corpse, they certainly won't give up on using the Impure World Reincarnation to control Nagato and turn him into their fighting force. So they'll definitely make Nagato into their prime..."

Black Zetsu looked at Uehara Naraku and continued in a low voice, "Back then, if we had used the Rinne Rebirth Technique on Nagato, he could have been resurrected in his prime..."

"Oh?"

Uehara Naraku slowly tilted his head, gazing at Black Zetsu, and suddenly said, "Back then, when you recruited Kabuto Yakushi to join our Eye of the Moon Project, and had him revive Madara Uchiha in his prime, was it also with this in mind, wanting Lord Nagato to revive him...?"

"no."

Black Zetsu quickly shook his head and explained softly, "It's just because the Eye of the Moon Plan has added the variable of Obito Uchiha, and only Lord Madara can deal with Obito Uchiha..."

"Okay, I admit I did have that thought."

Black Zetsu, seeing the amused look in Uehara Naraku's eyes, chuckled and said, "I am Madara-sama's will. It's not surprising that I want to see Madara-sama have a chance to be resurrected!"

At this point, Black Zetsu suddenly paused, a hint of excitement creeping into his voice: "But Lord Madara has entrusted the future to the people of the new era; he might not be willing to be resurrected..."

Actually, I just wanted him to see that after the light of the Eye of the Moon enveloped the earth, this world, just as he wished before his death, had become the world of his dreams.

"..."

Uehara Naraku is truly speechless.

When faced with a problem that seems unsolvable, Uehara Naraku felt he had learned another trick from Black Zetsu: to move others with touching words.

Based solely on Black Zetsu's words, if it were someone else, they might actually be reluctant to continue doubting him...

After all, it seems like they're telling the truth!

Who wouldn't be tempted if they had the chance to bring back the most important person in their life? With such honest words spoken, and the matter now in the past, is it really necessary to continue pursuing this?

Moreover, there is a further explanation about Madara Uchiha later on.

However, Black Zetsu was even more absurd than him. In Black Zetsu's words, Madara Uchiha had been completely described as a saint.

If there were an award for Best Actor in the ninja world, even Uehara Naraku himself wouldn't agree if Black Zetsu didn't receive one!

Of course, if Uehara isn't given an award for Best Actor, Uehara Naraku will definitely not agree!

Uehara Naraku sighed, slowly lowered his head, and whispered, "Zetsu-senpai, I understand how you feel. Before Nagato passed away, he told me that he had no regrets when he died..."

Uehara Naraku's emotions gradually became agitated. He looked at Black Zetsu and continued, "But I couldn't bear the pain of his departure... So when I heard there was a chance to revive him, even knowing it would go against his wishes, I still couldn't help but be moved!"

When he got excited, Uehara Naraku's eyes even welled up with tears.

Looking at Uehara Naraku, whose face was filled with emotion and on the verge of tears, Black Zetsu shook his head with a sigh, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

How could it deceive Uehara Naraku so much and still move him?

Humans...

I'm always so easily deceived by emotions.

Uehara Naraku also wiped his eyes, using water power to moisten them. Black Zetsu really wasn't so easily fooled...

After exchanging lines and acting skills, the last two actors of the Akatsuki organization finally calmed down and got down to business.

"Actually, I had already decided to give up on the Eye of the Moon project."

Uehara Naraku rubbed his eyes and rubbed his temples. The first thing he said made Black Zetsu's heart tremble. Had his feelings been wasted?

Damn it, it's been a thousand years!

Black Zetsu has never been so affectionate before!

Even when Black Zetsu looks up at the moon and misses Kaguya Otsutsuki, he can't say such affectionate words as he did just now!

"But…"

Uehara Naraku glanced at Black Zetsu, a slight smile playing on his lips before vanishing without a trace: "After learning the whole story from Zetsu-senpai, I will find a way to continue the Eye of the Moon Project, fulfilling the wishes of the Sage of Six Paths, Madara-senpai, and Nagato-sama..."

Uehara Naraku slowly clenched his fist, his gaze resolute as he spoke, "These wishes will surely be fulfilled in our hands! This is our inescapable responsibility... Senior Zetsu, let's continue the Eye of the Moon Project together!"

At that moment, it was as if a ray of light shone upon him.

No, a ray of light really shone on Uehara Naraku.

The drizzle in Amegakure had stopped at some point, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the thick clouds, falling on Uehara Naraku as if by fate.

"Hehehehe... Of course."

Black Zetsu nodded at Uehara Naraku, his hoarse laughter barely containing his joy: "Uehara, it is precisely because I saw the possibility of you inheriting their will that I was willing to come to find you."
