Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 467 Itachi Uchiha's New Eyes

The room was dark and secluded.

Sitting on a stone seat, Madara Uchiha rested his chin on one hand and his elbow on his other, as if deep in thought.

Some time ago, he made a special trip to the Land of Grass, but to his disappointment, there was only one person left who knew the Dragon Life Reversal Technique.

That person is too young; it would be impossible for him to learn such a forbidden technique in less than a few years.

Seemingly sensing something, it slowly opened its eyelids, and its scarlet eyelids reflected a wriggling white creature.

This white creature is a White Zetsu, a pawn he uses to monitor Konoha.

Every so often, he would have Bai Jue give a report.

White Zetsu, emerging from the ground, recounted his work in a sarcastic tone.

Madara Uchiha frowned, his solemn expression beginning to falter.

I have to do that kind of thing ten times every night.

Is this a human being?

Is he some kind of kidney warrior...?

She also loves to dress up in various outfits, including maid, nurse, policewoman, hipster, bunny girl, and even Naruto costume...

Young people really know how to have fun.

Bai Jue remarked, "This guy looks respectable on the surface, but he's actually a repressed pervert behind the scenes."

Upon hearing White Zetsu describe these things, Madara Uchiha, whose single life had lasted since birth, covered his head with his hands.

Aokiji had a strong interest in this, something Madara Uchiha had known since he was very young.

I thought he would tone it down a bit as he grew up, but I never expected him to completely let loose.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that having only Tsunade as his woman so far is putting him in a difficult position.

For a moment, he even doubted whether his wariness of someone like Aokiji was a joke.

"Master Ban, it seems that Aokiji is completely obsessed with women."

Black Zetsu is happy to see Aokiji lose his ambition.

This is not the result of this report alone, but rather the conclusion drawn by Aokiji's unusually honest behavior in the village over the past two years.

You have to understand how domineering Aokiji was when he was first resurrected. He would suppress anyone he didn't like with force. Who would have thought that he would become a stay-at-home husband now, with all his former domineering aura gone.

Bai Jue chimed in with a joke: "After all, he's young, so it's understandable that he doesn't know how to control himself in that area, hehe..."

"Playing with toys is truly a waste of time and energy."

Madara Uchiha scoffed coldly, offering this assessment.

His feelings for Aokiji were somewhat complicated. He hoped that Aokiji could inherit his will and defeat all other countries, but on the other hand, he also hoped that Aokiji would continue to be in a carefree and idle state so that he would be easier to deal with.

"Those who don't know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace will regret it later." Madara Uchiha seemed to have already seen Aokiji's future and made a prediction.

White Zetsu asked, "Lord Madara, should I continue to monitor him?"

Madara Uchiha paused for a moment, then, out of caution, said, "Continue monitoring, but remember not to get too close..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ban, I'm being very careful...hehe..."

"Lord Madara, since this guy has become so obsessed with playing around, should we go and capture the Tailed Beast?"

Black Zetsu was anxious to save his mother, hence the question, wanting a rough estimate of the progress.

Madara Uchiha maintained his patience: "Have you found the Six-Tails Jinchuriki?"

His strategy was to first find the whereabouts of the Six-Tails, and then at a suitable time, capture the One-Tails, Two-Tails, Four-Tails, and Eight-Tails all at once, catching the entire ninja world off guard.

Immediately afterwards, they concentrated their forces to capture the Five-Tails and Nine-Tails from Konoha.

Black Zetsu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Master Ban, we still haven't found the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. It's like he's vanished into thin air."

Madara Uchiha stroked his chin, seemingly enlightened: "Perhaps, this guy really has vanished into thin air."

Black remained silent, waiting for Madara Uchiha to provide an explanation.

Madara Uchiha analyzed, "You still can't find the Six-Tails Jinchuriki. Either this guy is hiding well, or he's already dead, and the Six-Tails is now in someone else's body."

With a body as large as the Six-Tails, it's impossible for it to move without leaving a trace. That's why Madara Uchiha was so certain.

Hei Zetsu hadn't considered this possibility: "But, we haven't found Konoha yet, have we?"

Given the importance of Jinchūriki in combat, Black would never believe that Aokiji would let him run around freely.

Madara Uchiha didn't give a definitive answer: "Of course, there's another possibility."

Black Zetsu was taken aback: "There's another possibility?"

"Aokiji first found a secluded place, then took the Jinchuriki there, and then extracted the Tailed Beast."

"Where could it be?"

"Who knows? But I don't think there are many places like this that are rarely visited by people."

Madara Uchiha thought of a few locations, then ordered Zetsu to search for them and report back to him once he found them.

Madara Uchiha slowly closed his eyes, going over the next plan in his mind one last time.

A barely perceptible cunning glint flashed in the eyes of the white monster as it crawled back into the ground.

◎

Inside a sealed room.

"That's all for now, Dad..."

White Zetsu reported the intelligence, his face showing an expression that seemed to say, "Praise me!"

"Good job, you can go back to work now, my lovely son..."

Aokiji crossed his legs, sipped his goji berry tea, and gave the order.

This White Zetsu had its will altered by Aokiji using Kotoamatsukami. The relationship between Aokiji and the White Zetsu is similar to that between Black Zetsu and Kaguya.

"Yes, Dad..."

The white monster crawled back to the ground.

Just then, a crisp voice rang out: "I said, do you really have to have such a twisted sense of humor?"

Tsunade stood next to Aokiji, speechless.

"What a disgusting joke! Don't you know I love children the most?"

"Hehe...this little kid is really big."

Tsunade's mind flashed to the image of the enormous body of a White Zetsu.

She just couldn't understand it. They had grown up together, so why would Aokiji suddenly have this fetish for taking in sons?

"And another thing, did you have to use such an excuse to lie to Madara? You have no shame, and I feel embarrassed too."

As she said this, a blush appeared on Tsunade's clear face.

Aokiji argued vehemently, "What other choice do I have? It wouldn't fit my character if I didn't use this reason."

"Consistent with the character? What kind of ridiculous sophistry is that? If what you said is true, I guess he's already dead in bed."

"I don't like hearing you say that," Aokiji said, dissatisfied. "If anyone should die, it should be me."

"?"

"There are only oxen that die from plowing, not land that gets ruined."

"Go to hell with you."

Tsunade was furious and about to lash out.

Aokiji, taking advantage of the situation, said, "To make that guy even more convinced, let's reinforce our persona again tonight."

"To solidify his public image?"

Tsunade quickly realized what was going on, poked Aokiji's temple with her finger, and frowned, saying coquettishly, "Consolidate my head, all you do is think about nonsense all day long."

"Hello, messy thing."

"?"

Seeing Tsunade roll up her sleeves, revealing her fair arms, and pretend to slap her, Aokiji quickly stopped the playful banter between husband and wife, shrugging his shoulders: "It was just a joke, don't take it seriously. I was just trying to ease your tension a bit."

Tsunade snorted, seeing his confident demeanor, and thought he probably already had a plan: "Judging from your tone, you've already found a solution?"

Zhiqing Zhi, Tsunade also: "I guess so..."

"What method?"

"The best offense is the best defense."

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Aokiji's scarlet eyes.

◎

That night, inside a room.

Aokiji and Tsunade visited the Fugaku family. The two families maintained a good relationship and would visit each other from time to time to strengthen their bond. They would also take the opportunity to discuss some secret tasks.

In the living room, Sasuke is playing with his younger sister Sarada, while Tsunade and Mikoto are chatting.

Aokiji, Fugaku, and Itachi were in another room, talking about work-related matters.

Aokiji explained to the two of them the matter of the real Uchiha Madara's resurrection.

Fugaku and Itachi were extremely surprised after hearing this: "This is truly shocking."

Aokiji said in a deep voice, "Next, I will launch a full-scale attack on Amegakure, and the two of you will be included in this mission."

Taking advantage of Madara Uchiha's absence from Amegakure, Aokiji intends to turn the tables and lead a group of men to attack Amegakure, kill Nagato, and steal the Rinnegan.

Otherwise, if Madara Uchiha is fully resurrected before taking the eyes, he will be at a great disadvantage.

Facing the Limbo Border Prison, without eyes of the same level or the Six Paths Sage Technique, no matter how many people come, it will be useless.

In the original work, Sasuke with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the nine tailed beasts are a bloody example.

Fugaku and Itachi Uchiha knew the seriousness of the situation and, without hesitation, expressed their willingness to go.

Aokiji glanced at Itachi: "I remember your abilities are Tsukuyomi in your left eye and Amaterasu in your right eye, right?"

"Yes."

Uchiha Itachi nodded in agreement, wondering why Aokiji had specifically asked about this.

Aokiji placed his hand on Itachi's shoulder and smiled mysteriously: "You're my secret weapon for this mission."

Itachi Uchiha was taken aback.

The next day.

In the secluded room, Aokiji stood at the door, quietly awaiting the outcome: "Judging by the time, the surgery should be almost finished."

As the muttering sound rang out, the door seemed to respond, creaking open, and a young man with black hair and faint tear stains on either side of his nose walked out. It was Uchiha Itachi.

Slightly different from before, the old middle parting has been replaced with bangs that cover the eyes.

Aokiji crossed his arms, his gaze falling on the part of Itachi's hair that covered his right eye: "How does the new eye feel?"
