Chapter 175 Black Zetsu Makes a Decision

"No, Pain, by the time the Three-Tails is resurrected, it will be too late."

Nagato's clean and decisive refusal greatly displeased Black Zetsu.

It was clearly just a tool used to revive Madara Uchiha, yet it couldn't turn against him.

Just thinking about it makes me so angry.

"What do you mean it's late? Jue, are you hiding something from me?"

He had been suspicious of Zetsu ever since Zetsu first came to him, asking him to capture the Tailed Beasts ahead of schedule.

Under normal circumstances, Zetsu is an intelligence officer within the Akatsuki organization, and he is not needed for anything other than intelligence-related matters.

But it's suspicious that this person in charge of intelligence would come to him repeatedly, asking him to implement the plan ahead of schedule.

Zetsu's inexplicable enthusiasm might lead someone who doesn't know better to think that Zetsu is the leader of the Akatsuki.

"That's right, Payne. I do know some things, which is why I urged you to implement the plan ahead of schedule."

After thinking it over, Black Zetsu decided to tell Nagato what had happened in Konoha in order to persuade him.

If things drag on until Konoha revives Hashirama Senju, things will become quite troublesome.

"I only recently learned that Konoha has somehow acquired a resurrection technique that can perfectly revive the dead."

"A resurrection technique?"

Nagato, who was manipulating Pain and Zetsu behind the scenes, had a flurry of thoughts flash through his mind when he heard Zetsu say that.

His greatest regret was that Yahiko died in front of him, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

In order to fulfill Yahiko's dream, he cannot yet use the Rinnegan's Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive Yahiko.

The Reincarnation Technique is very powerful; it can perfectly resurrect the dead, but the price of this technique is the user's life.

If Yahiko could possess the Rinnegan, Nagato wouldn't mind trading his life for Yahiko's.

But the reality is that Nagato, the owner of the Rinnegan, was almost completely drained by those eyes, let alone others.

To realize Yahiko's dream, the Akatsuki organization now needs the power of the Rinnegan.

Therefore, Nagato could not revive Yahiko at the cost of his own death. He could only use the power of the Rinnegan to turn Yahiko's body into a puppet, creating the illusion that Yahiko was still alive, so that he could stay by his and Konan's side and find some solace in that.

Upon hearing Zetsu say that Konoha possesses a resurrection technique, Nagato's first thought was to secretly go and talk to Jiraiya.

Let's talk about the art of resurrection.

Is the news true?

"It's true, there's not a single lie about it."

"Oh? I'm curious how you know about this. Logically speaking, Konoha shouldn't make a big fuss about reviving the dead."

"Pain, you're wrong. Although Konoha hasn't made a big fuss about it, they've been keeping it a secret. Currently, Iwagakure and Kumogakure are preparing to form an alliance to deal with Konoha."

"Yeah?"

Pain's voice suddenly turned low, and his gaze toward Zetsu became much sharper. "Why are you only telling me about something this important now?"

"."

Black Zetsu remained silent for a moment before replying, "Shouldn't I at least verify the truth of this matter?"

Nagato remained noncommittal; since Zetsu had given his reasons, he couldn't be bothered to argue further.

At this moment, his biggest concern was still the resurrection technique.

Of course, he couldn't show it too obviously in front of Jue.

"What exactly did Konoha do to provoke Kumogakure and Iwagakure to join forces against him?"

"Konoha didn't actually do much. They just resurrected the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, the first Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Mito Uzumaki, the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, the second Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Kushina Uzumaki, and Konoha's White Fang Sakumo Hatake."

Black Zetsu was unaware that Tobirama Senju and Mito Uzumaki were from another timeline; it still believed that the two had also been resurrected from Konoha.

However, aside from these two, the three people behind them alone are enough to warrant attention.

"So, the cost of this resurrection technique isn't that high, allowing Konoha to resurrect others with impunity?"

Upon learning that Konoha had successfully resurrected so many people, Nagato's eyes immediately lit up.

The lower the cost, the greater the chance that Konoha can revive Yahiko.

The thought of seeing Yahiko alive and well soon brought a rare smile to Nagato's lips, which had become cold and aloof.

"I haven't found out what kind of price we'll have to pay yet, but as you said, the price might not be too high. So Pain, we need to implement the plan to capture the tailed beast as soon as possible. Once Konoha revives another batch of people, it will be very difficult for us to capture the Nine-Tails again."

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter who Konoha revives, or how many people they revive, I will take action when the time comes."

Black Zetsu: ? ? ?

"No, Payne, you probably didn't understand me. I meant..."

"Alright, I understand what you mean."

Payne interrupted Jue, and continued confidently, "I am a god. No matter how many mortals there are, they can never defy a god."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

After saying this, Pain didn't give Judgment a chance to reply and turned to leave.

Pain's departure infuriated Black Zetsu.

god?

What the hell?

You strange fellow, you're probably some kind of unborn spirit!

There's Obito, that increasingly disappointing guy.

Later, Nagato did not act according to its plan.

What merit or ability did Hei Jue possess to encounter this pair of brilliant strategists at the same time?

But anger aside, things still had to continue.

"Since you disagree, I'll force you to agree."

"Don't blame me, Nagato, you forced this into this situation."

At this moment, Black Zetsu decided that he would initiate the plan to capture the Tailed Beasts himself.

It refused to believe that Nagato would refuse this generous gift that had been delivered to his doorstep when it threw the One-Tailed Jinchuriki into the Akatsuki's base.

As for the Three-Tails, which is still in its resurrection period, Black Zetsu also has a way to deal with it.

It hasn't been idle for thousands of years.

It secretly collects chakra from some of the weaker tailed beasts.

That's perfect, the Three-Tails is one of the weaker tailed beasts.

The amount of chakra it collected wasn't actually that much, but it was barely enough to revive the Ten-Tails.

However, the Ten-Tails resurrected in this way will inevitably suffer from some "malnutrition".

The final result will be that Kaguya Otsutsuki will not be in a perfect state upon her return; she will be somewhat weak.

To be honest, Black Zetsu wouldn't have wanted to do this if the situation hadn't become increasingly dire.

It's because it has waited so long, and this is the best opportunity it could have.

If you miss this chance, you don't know how long you'll have to wait before Indra's reincarnation awakens the Rinnegan, and you'll have to place all your trust in it.

Therefore, Black Zetsu decided not to wait any longer.

"Even if Mom is a little weak, these ninjas are no match for her at all."

"Mom is the invincible one!"
