My name is Uchiha Touhuan, and I beat the villagers so badly they cried out in pain.

Chapter 105 Black Zetsu: I knew it!

"The players outside the chessboard?" Sasuke repeated Uchiha Touhuan's words, thought carefully for a while, and then said uncertainly, "Their position should also be to win this game."

"That's right. From the moment the players in a normal game sit down across the chessboard, their objective is also to win. So, Sasuke, what do you think is the difference between the two?"

"The pieces are controlled by the player; the pieces themselves cannot decide where they should go on the board..." Sasuke finished speaking and suddenly fell silent. He seemed to understand why his brother had ended up like this.

"Of course, that's the normal situation, but what if one of the players doesn't intend to win the game from the start? In that case, do the pieces still stand their original positions?" Uchiha Touhuan asked.

Sasuke was taken aback after hearing Uchiha Touhuan's words, and then seemed to be deep in thought.

"So, teacher, you want me to transcend my own position and become a player, the one who decides the position of the pieces, is that right?" Sasuke said.

Uchiha Touhuan nodded in satisfaction before saying, "You're a promising student, but Sasuke, you're still a long way from becoming a true Go player. To put it simply, Sasuke, do you even have any Go pieces?"

"Please teach me, teacher," Sasuke said.

"Didn't I already teach you this?" Uchiha Touhuan said, staring into Sasuke's eyes.

Upon hearing this, Sasuke froze on the spot.

After a while, Uchiha Touhuan patted Sasuke's head and said to him, "That's all for today's lesson. When you're qualified to sit at the chessboard, I'll teach you the skills of playing chess."

When Sasuke left, his mind was still buzzing. What Uchiha Touhuan had told him today was still too shocking for him. The boy might need a considerable amount of time to digest it.

After Sasuke left, Uchiha Touhuan also began his daily Sage Mode practice.

After this period of practice, Uchiha Tohwan's sensory abilities in Sage Mode can now completely cover the entire Uchiha clan's territory.

After a cursory scan of the clan's territory, Uchiha Touhuan suddenly sensed something interesting in the clan's cemetery area.

Uchiha Touhuan revealed a meaningful smile, changed his clothes, and went out to walk towards the clan's cemetery.

Itachi Uchiha was buried in the far corner of the cemetery, and at this moment, bouquets of flowers were placed in front of his grave.

Although Itachi Uchiha did not cause any substantial damage to the clan, his failure to stand by the clan in matters of great importance was a betrayal of the clan. Considering the majority of the clan members who worked diligently for the clan, the Uchiha clan did not hold a proper funeral for him, and even the location of his grave was chosen at the very edge of the clan cemetery.

However, some of Fugaku's peers would still sneak over to give him a bouquet of flowers, after all, they had watched Itachi grow up.

As for the young people in the clan, very few came here. Even in the Uchiha clan, which is full of geniuses, he was a genius among geniuses since childhood. However, he was not well-liked among his peers. Apart from Shisui, who stayed here for two days, it seemed that no one else came.

No, there are still some.

Uchiha Touhuan bent down and picked up a bunch of cornflowers with obvious tear stains on the petals, and a girl with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye involuntarily came to mind.

"Itachi, you've let down so many people," Uchiha Touhuan said.

"However, perhaps this ending was already destined from the moment you were taken to the battlefield at the age of four," Uchiha Touhuan sighed softly. "What's wrong with this world? Why does this tragedy keep repeating itself? When will this world finally have true peace?"

At that moment, just a few meters below Uchiha Touhuan's feet, a figure entirely in black suddenly stopped moving.

Three days ago, when Obito Uchiha was turned into a stone statue and shattered, Black Zetsu was filled with utter despair.

Black Zetsu had been working for thousands of years to save his mother, who was sealed away by his two filial older brothers. More than ten years ago, the moment when Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was born in his eyes was the closest he had ever come to success in all those years.

However, after Madara Uchiha had planned everything and fallen into an eternal slumber, many new variables were added to the situation.

First, Nagato, who is the vessel of the Rinnegan, has gradually deviated from the right path. He seems to have no intention of carrying out the Eye of the Moon Plan. Instead, he plans to use the power of the nine tailed beasts to make the world feel pain and understand the preciousness of peace after collecting them. He himself will act as a god to deter the great ninja villages. This is completely contrary to his Eye of the Moon Plan.

Fortunately, Obito Uchiha, the contingency plan left by Madara Uchiha to control Nagato, never escaped his control.

Just three days ago, Obito Uchiha died because of a moment of impulsiveness!

Although Black Zetsu still doesn't know why Obito Uchiha, who possessed Kamui, possibly the strongest life-saving eye technique of the Uchiha clan to date, and Izanagi as a backup plan, died so easily at the hands of Touhou Uchiha.

When Black Zetsu saw Obito Uchiha turn into a stone statue and shatter into pieces, his heart broke as well.

After thousands of years of planning, the closest we ever came to success was just a fluke!

However, after recovering, Black Zetsu got busy again. So what if he failed? Hadn't he failed enough over the years? As long as he could rescue his mother, what did this little bit of torment matter? This time he was already close to success, and he would definitely succeed next time.

With this in mind, Black Zetsu made another plan, the first step of which was to hide and wait for Nagato and Uchiha Touhuan, who had thwarted his plan, to reach the end of their lives.

We'll reclaim the Rinnegan later and plan for the long term.

And today, the reason he came to the Uchiha clan's cemetery was to collect some of Uchiha Itachi's DNA.

Decades ago, a peerless genius named Tobirama Senju emerged in the ninja world. He created a technique that could connect the human world and the Pure Land: the Impure World Reincarnation.

After learning about this technique, Black Zetsu immediately set his sights on it. It could be said that Black Zetsu spent almost all of that time underground in Tobirama Senju's laboratory. He also learned that this technique required the DNA information of the summoned person to succeed. Although this technique was written into the Book of Seals after it was created, and Black Zetsu did not have the opportunity to see it for the time being, there would always be an opportunity in the future. What he had in abundance was time.

So, in order to find a future fighter with the Mangekyou Sharingan, he came to the Uchiha clan's cemetery. But before he could even get started, the appearance of Uchiha Touhuan scared him half to death.

Over the years, Black Zetsu has seen many people who have mastered Sage Mode and knows how terrifyingly strong their perception is in this state.

Although Uchiha Touhuan hasn't activated Sage Mode yet, what if he suddenly decides to practice it here? Black Zetsu doesn't dare to gamble.

Therefore, the moment Uchiha Touhuan appeared, Black Zetsu wanted to run away.

However, what Uchiha Touhuan said at Uchiha Itachi's grave made Black Zetsu stop in his tracks.

When will there be true peace in this world?

Wait a minute, it seems there's still hope for my plan?

Uchiha Touhuan's words were undoubtedly heavenly to Black Zetsu.

[I knew it! Indra's bunch of lunatic descendants will start thinking about world peace once they get strong enough! Mom! I'll be able to rescue you right away!]

Black Zetsu forcibly suppressed the urge to jump out and fool Uchiha Touhuan right now, and left from underground.

The latest novel is first published here!

He knew that Uchiha Touhuan was different from the traditional Uchiha. It was not hard to see from the fact that he had deduced Uchiha Obito's identity based on the slightest clues that he probably couldn't make up a couple of reasons to convince him like he did with Uchiha Madara. Everything still needed to be planned carefully.

……

Uchiha Touhuan waited for a while, and seeing that Black Zetsu did not immediately jump out, he sighed inwardly and wondered.

Did I overact just now?

That's right, Uchiha Touhuan came to the graveyard in the middle of the night not just to pay respects to Uchiha Itachi, but more to lure out Black Zetsu, the big fish.

However, Uchiha Touhuan did not intend to do anything to Black Zetsu.

On the contrary, he was very interested in Black Zetsu's plan.

After all, Uchiha Touhuan knew that a large number of aliens would invade the ninja world in the future, and the best way to fight against aliens was to become an alien himself.

Therefore, Uchiha Touhuan was absolutely in favor of releasing Kaguya.

However, Black Zetsu didn't immediately take the bait, which left Uchiha Touhuan somewhat disappointed.

……

The following day, with Kakashi's nomination and Hiruzen Sarutobi's cooperation, the Jonin election for the Fifth Hokage of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire officially began.

Uchiha Touhuan lived up to expectations, winning all the Jonin votes in the village and becoming the sole candidate for the Fifth Hokage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't delay and sent a messenger to the Fire Capital that same day to deliver the voting results. At this moment, Uchiha Touhuan was only a formality—the daimyo's approval—to officially become the Fifth Hokage of the village.

To celebrate this good news, Uchiha Touhuan held a small banquet.

After the banquet ended, Uchiha Touhuan returned home, where a letter on his desk caught his attention.

Want to bring true peace to the ninja world? Then come to the basement of the Naga Shrine.

When Uchiha Touhuan saw the letter, he chuckled to himself, thinking that the previous attempt had been successful.

However, to prevent Black Zetsu from spying, Uchiha Touhuan forced himself not to smile and called over Uchiha Keiko.

"Sister Huizi, has anyone been in this room today?"

"No, did something happen?" Uchiha Keiko asked.

"No, I must have remembered it wrong," Uchiha Touhuan said.
