Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 262 The Power of Black Zetsu (22)

Earth-遁 (earth-遁 means to dig or excavate).

In an instant, the ground was bulged up by Onoki's ninjutsu, and the burst of air threw the White Zetsu directly out.

The next moment, the floating Onoki appeared behind White Zetsu.

Earth Release: Heavy Rock Technique.

"Smack."

Like a lump of mud, White Zetsu was pressed to the ground.

Just as he was about to use Earth Release to leave, Qing had already completed the hand seals: Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet.

Compared to Mei Terumi's Water Dragon Bullet, it was clearly less powerful, but it was enough to wrap up and trap the White Zetsu after it landed.

"Bang."

The water flowed and scattered upon landing, and the wooden figure grabbed White Zetsu's neck and twisted it.

"A member of the Akatsuki?"

Bai Jue grinned, showing no fear whatsoever: "Hey beautiful lady, can you tell me if you can poop?"

Yugito's face darkened, but he didn't kill it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Lord Tsuchikage, I'm not good at interrogation."

Onoki looked at White Zetsu and said, "He looks a lot like that guy from last time, but he's all white. It seems Konoha didn't lie to us."

As soon as they finished speaking, both of them looked at Qing standing to the side.

Maki, who had been just observing, also noticed that something was wrong with Qing.

He was trembling all over, his single eye filled with terror.

"I think... we... no longer need to torture... torture this guy."

White Zetsu, whose neck was being gripped by Yugito, looked at the four of them: "Have we been discovered? If you guys find out at a time like this, I'm afraid I'll get beaten to a pulp, right? But I don't think I have. This is really frustrating..."

"Click."

With a snap, he broke White Zetsu's neck, and after the wooden figure was casually thrown down, a burst of blue flame burned it to ashes.

Then, Muren looked at Qing and asked, "What did you notice with your white eye?"

This is the same question that both Onoki and Maki wanted to ask.

What exactly was discovered?

Ao of Kirigakure is a ninja who experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War. What kind of situation could make him so terrified?

"Countless! There are countless monsters like that in this underground place!"

As he spoke, Ao swallowed hard, then turned to look at Onoki and the other two: "Uchiha Yun's information is true; we've been overlooking the underground area. That guy's appearance just now reminded me that there's another place we haven't investigated..."

"Then... I used my Byakugan ability to look down into the ground where that monster had just appeared, and there were countless... at least tens of thousands of those things."

As soon as he finished speaking, Onoki frowned deeply.

Tens of thousands?

With such numbers, it's no wonder that those who have experienced war feel fear.

Although such a guy could be easily killed by me, his strength had already reached the level of an ordinary Chunin.

Even the most powerful beings, when their strength does not exceed human limits, can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers when their numbers reach a certain level.

The Third Raikage, once known as the strongest spear, single-handedly held off the Iwagakure's pursuit, but died from exhaustion after three days and three nights.

There was a scheme behind this.

"Lord Tsuchikage, what should we do?"

Qing's voice was filled with anxiety: "They haven't made a move yet, but I can sense that they could awaken at any moment. The moment we make a move, these nearly 100,000 monsters will rush out!"

Yugito, standing to the side, spoke up: "Even with the Tsuchikage here, the enemy's numbers are far too overwhelming. We... will die from exhaustion!"

Maki, paddling the famous waterway, also objected: "Now that we've found out their hideout and the guy who discovered us has been killed, let one person guard it while the rest go back and get the main force!"

Ōnoki, with his eyes slightly narrowed, looked at the new generation of the three ninja villages. Even Ao and Maki, who had experienced the war, no longer had the courage to fight to the death?

"call……"

After sighing, Onoki said, "Send a signal to get those guys from Konoha here. We need to hear their opinions on how to decide."

These words made the three of them nod in agreement.

As the most powerful village, Konoha would inevitably need to take the lead in the fight against Akatsuki, who dominate the entire ninja world.

……

Meanwhile, in the dark cave.

At this moment, Obito was suppressing his agitated feelings, as that special trading space still hadn't appeared.

The curse mark on my chest. I haven't found another way to remove it either.

Whenever he tries to erase it, the controlling force within him prevents him from doing so. As Uzumaki Sora once said, he can't even commit suicide.

It's been more than half a year, why hasn't it appeared yet?

Has the power of my own eyes become ineffective against him?

That guy is growing too fast.

With the help of that so-called trading space, how much power does the other party now possess?

As he pondered, Obito placed one hand on his heart, recalling the words Uzumaki Sora had spoken during that transaction.

"Now, you probably can't even control your own life and death, can you?"

"Do you still have anyone you can trust?"

Life and death are beyond our control; there is no one we can trust.

A familiar voice echoed in my mind.

Someone I trust.

Obito looked at his hands, his right hand after the transplantation of Hashirama cells.

From that moment on, the world had been abandoned by him, and he was abandoned at the same time.

"I'll always be watching over you!"

Lin's voice appeared in his mind.

"I'm not expecting a gift from someone like you."

Kakashi's figure flashed by.

"Bang."

The wooden tabletop was struck with a loud thud.

"Damn Kakashi!"

After uttering a curse, Obito looked behind him and asked, "What is it?"

At this moment, Black and White Jue slowly rose from the ground.

Black Zetsu said in a low voice, "The underground place in the northern part of the Land of Iron where the White Zetsu clones are kept... has been discovered."

???

He suddenly stood up, turned around, and stared directly at Black and White Zetsu: "Who discovered us? The mission to collect the Tailed Beasts hasn't even started yet. Whoever it is, we must take them down."

White Zetsu chuckled and scratched his head, replying sheepishly, "It's the Tsuchikage Onoki, the Cloud Village's Yugito, the Kirigakure's Ao, and the other one who's pretty weak, Maki from the Sunagakure?"

"Maybe they didn't want to tell me what it feels like to poop... I was just about to ask them when my clone was instantly killed. Those guys from the Four Great Ninja Villages are really unfriendly... I just wanted to know if beautiful girls need to poop..."

Obito was momentarily stunned by what he heard, but he quickly came to his senses.

He roared, "You bastard!! Did you pop out of the ground, you idiot? Don't you know those guys are veterans of war?"

"During the Third Shinobi World War, Ao of Kirigakure stole a Byakugan from Konoha. With the Byakugan's X-ray vision, the 100,000 White Zetsu hidden underground could not possibly escape its detection!"

With an innocent shrug, White Zetsu weakly replied, "That's not me, that's my clone, it has nothing to do with me..."

These words earned him an angry glare: "Do you take me for a fool?! You bastard!"

At this moment, Black Zetsu said in a low voice, "It's not just the people from the four great ninja villages. From another direction, White Zetsu's clone also discovered Uchiha Kumo and his disciple Hyuga Tokuma."

"Furthermore... there's also Kakashi, the Copy Ninja from Konoha. The fact that two Byakugan ninjas from the five great ninja villages have come together clearly indicates that they came prepared."

"They may not have thought of exploring underground at first, but even without any surprises, they would have eventually come up with the idea."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito exhaled.

He knew perfectly well that Black Zetsu was telling the truth.

Ignoring the minor character from Sunagakure, the combined elite forces of the five great ninja villages, along with two Byakugan ninjas...

The intelligence has been leaked!

The next moment, Obito's gaze fell on Zetsu in black and white.

The only ones who know the location of the 100,000 White Zetsu are the two guys in front of us.

Black Zetsu is the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will. Given Madara's purpose in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, it would be impossible for him to do such a thing.

And White Zetsu...

A product of the Gedo Mazo combined with Hashirama's cells, such an existence doesn't even understand its own meaning.

So...

A figure flashed through Obito's mind in an instant.

Is the vortex empty?

That bastard!

Nine years ago, his identity was sold to the Fourth Hokage.

This time, even though he came to them himself, the transaction partner did not choose him, but Konoha as well!

What's even more infuriating is that they actually traded away the hiding place of 100,000 White Zetsu this time...

What exactly is he trying to do?!

"Obito, the 100,000 White Zetsu clones are crucial to the final battle, and we need to prepare a response."

Black Zetsu's voice rang out: "Once the Tailed Beast Capture Plan begins, the Five Great Shinobi Villages will inevitably begin to prepare. That will be the opportune time for the 100,000 White Zetsu clones to appear."

"hehe……"

Obito chuckled lightly: "Do you think the Tailed Beast capture plan can still begin smoothly? Doesn't the Akatsuki listen to us or to Uzumaki Sora? Don't you have any idea?"

"And another thing! The Fourth Hokage of Konoha knew my identity nine years ago, so why are they bringing Kakashi with them this time?"

"What ability does that idiot have that makes him worthy of being included? He's nothing except for my eye!"

For a moment, the dark cave fell silent.

Black Zetsu knew perfectly well that Obito was telling the truth.

With Kakashi around, plus that Uchiha Yun, neither he nor Obito had any chance of winning against such power.

The Akatsuki organization was given the initiative by Uzumaki Sora. After this incident, the five great ninja villages will inevitably side with Konoha before the Akatsuki is wiped out.

This situation is taking me further and further away from my goal...

"Has the transfer already begun?"

Obito's question startled White Zetsu, who then scratched his head and asked, "Transfer what?"

This response made even Black Zetsu's expression darken further.

"You dispersed and moved 100,000 White Zetsu from underground. Didn't you do that when it was discovered?"

Black Zetsu's voice rang out.

Bai Jue retorted unhappily, "Is it necessary? If they dare to make a move, I can overwhelm them with sheer numbers!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Zetsu silently faded away, flowing onto the ground like a pool of liquid.

Obito jumped up and punched White Zetsu in the face again: "Are you an idiot? Who do you think that is? That moron Third Raikage? That's Uchiha Un!"

"In the battle at the Sea of ​​the End, even the Death Gate, which was used in the Eight Inner Gates, could instantly recover. How many Tailed Beast Balls can your 100,000 White Zetsu withstand?!"

"You can kill someone just by piling them up? Your clones would be nothing more than a pile of corpses against Uchiha Kumo!"

In a fit of rage, Obito cursed at the White Zetsu in front of him.

Despite being knocked to the ground by a punch, Bai Jue wasn't angry: "Alright, the transfer has already begun."

At this moment, Black Zetsu climbed onto White Zetsu's body again: "No matter what, we still need to go."

Obito was silent for a moment, then looked directly at Black Zetsu and said, "What good would it do? With our strength alone, we wouldn't be able to achieve anything."

"Or perhaps you can persuade Nagato to revive your original body using the Rinne Rebirth Technique? If that's the case, there might still be a chance of success."

Obito, who had refuted the idea of ​​blocking the enemy, was actually somewhat hesitant at this moment.

It's not that there's no chance...

Since being captured and having his eyes gouged out in Konoha more than nine years ago, the arrogance stemming from his space-time eye technique has been curbed.

At this moment, Obito not only possessed the ability to become intangible, but also the Mangekyou Sharingan ability he obtained from Fugaku Uchiha.

In addition...

The Sharingan with three tomoe has become commonplace in recent years, and even with Kakashi's presence, tasks such as stopping enemies are not impossible to accomplish.

However, Obito did not want to display these powers to Black Zetsu.

As the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will, this guy will inevitably become his enemy in the future.

After a long pause, Black Jue sighed.

For thousands of years, the feeling of having everything under our control has been gradually disappearing.

Never before has an era come so close to success, yet so out of control.

With Uchiha Kumo and Uzumaki Sora being two unplanned individuals, the situation has become increasingly passive for them.

So... Madara Uchiha was really easy to fool...

"The effectiveness of the 100,000 White Zetsu lies in their dispersion; if they are gathered together, they will only be reduced to ashes."

Black Zetsu looked directly at Obito and said, "At the same time, we will inevitably need White Zetsu's intelligence capabilities for our future plans. Therefore, we must delay them!"

"I recently acquired another power, but I haven't had a chance to tell you yet. Although it's not as powerful as my original body, it's enough to stop enemies."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito frowned slightly.

Another force?

It seems I wasn't the only one hiding it...

Madara Uchiha, who emerged from the Warring States period, joined forces with Hashirama Senju to end the chaos of the Warring States period. Even if he was just a fragment of his will, he still had his own backup plan.

As for not having had time to tell myself?

Ha ha……

Perhaps by the time you tell yourself this, your death is already imminent?

If it weren't for this unexpected event, the other side would never have used this force.

Furthermore... such an argument is also a temptation for oneself; if one does not go, information about their backup plan will be withheld.

So...do you want to go?

Obito was silent for a moment before speaking, "Let's go. Hopefully, we can still make it in time."

As soon as he finished speaking, swirling ripples appeared in the void, and Obito disappeared into them.

At this moment, Black and White Absolute slowly sank into the ground.
