Mizukage's Pokémon Ninja Scroll

Chapter 545 Corpse, how could you not know?

"Still haven't found it?"

Inside the makeshift office, Minato Namikaze listened wearily to the report from the ANBU ninja.

However, his question caused the member of the secret service to pause for a moment, and he cautiously began to explain.

"The location where the Nine-Tails was released has been found, but...: Lady Kushina's remains...: there are only some traces of blood left in that area."

"Boom!!"

Minato Namikaze slammed his fist heavily on the table, his eyes filled with a blood-red killing intent.

"That bastard! He even went after the corpses!!!"

A bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped the entire room.

Seeing the Hokage in this state, the Anbu member who had gone to search for him could only cower in fear.

Well... Tachibana Namikaze had no way of knowing about the conversation between Minato Namikaze and his subordinates.

But at this moment, looking at the still somewhat dazed Uchiha Hikaru in front of him, he was also at a loss for words.

That's right. Of the two scrolls that Uchiha Hikaru gave him, one contained the Nine-Tails' tail that she had cut off and sealed away.

The other one was the corpse of Kushina Uzumaki, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who died.

"This... why did you bring this back?"

Uchiha Hikaru secretly glanced at Kenkawa Tachibana's expression and said cautiously.

"She...she looks a bit like Mito-neechan."

Upon hearing this, Jianchuan Ju froze on the spot.

In the world of Dragon Veins, apart from himself, Mito Uzumaki was the only acknowledgment of his companion in the bleak life of Uchiha Hikaru.

However, after leaving the Dragon Vein World with him, it's unlikely that he'll ever have any further contact with Mito Uzumaki in this lifetime.

Now, encountering Kushina Uzumaki, who is somewhat similar to Mito Uzumaki, and being able to stick to the original plan without caring about her life or death, clearly shows that she can still distinguish between what is important and what is wrong.

But... what kind of nonsense is it to bring back a household registration certificate...?

Tachibana Kanagawa wasn't blaming Hikaru Uchiha for acting without permission.

After all, the person was already dead, and the Nine-Tails had been released, so it didn't really matter who had the body.

However, there's no practical use for Kushina's body, Tachibana Kanagawa, to keep; it's better to let Miyo give her a proper burial.

But given the current situation, I can't just hand over the household registration to Minato Namikaze right now.

And then you say, "You found it by chance while you were taking a walk at night, right?"

With a wry smile, Jianchuan Ju shook off the whimsical idea that had been running through her mind and waved her hand helplessly.

"Forget it, I'll handle this. It might not be a bad thing."

"Go and inform the White Zetsu squad to continue their surveillance mission. After that, I need to go to the Land of Hot Springs again. You can use your technique to return to the village and rest."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Hikaru nodded with a somewhat dejected expression.

Watching Uchiha Hikaru's figure disappear underground, Tachibana Kenkawa once again revealed a helpless, bitter smile.

This incident also made Tachibana Kanakawa realize something.

Although Uchiha Hikaru is considered a top-tier fighter, his combat experience is also quite good.

However, having served as a weapon of war for the Uchiha clan for many years, they haven't experienced much.

She lacks experience in ordinary missions, so when it comes to leading a team on missions, she can't really be treated as a Kage-level ninja.

Forget it, why think so much? Having this much strength is enough to be happy about!

It was just the body of a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, which wasn't a big deal for Tachibana Kenkawa.

"This isn't a big deal? Then tell me! What would be a big deal?!"

Obito Uchiha approached Black Zetsu step by step, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed rage. "Obito, don't be so hasty. I really don't know if Lord Madara has any other backup plans!"

"You don't know?! Last time it was the Mangekyou Sharingan and Wood Release attacking Sunagakure! And this time it's White Zetsu! Do you think I'm stupid enough not to recognize a technique?!"

In Obito Uchiha's understanding, White Zetsu had always been controlled by Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu.

Now that a White Zetsu who is not under his control has appeared, it is impossible that other forces besides Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu are stirring up trouble in the dark.

This also explains why the White Zetsu, who are part of the Zero Organization and are scattered throughout the ninja world, have been frequently disappearing.

Both have White Zetsu, so it's like fighting with your left hand against your right; naturally, you can't find any clues.

However, Black Zetsu was also filled with doubts at this moment, and could only continue to explain with some despair.

"I really don't know. Maybe it's a backup plan that Lord Madara himself has secretly prepared."

Obito Uchiha's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be, and without the curse in his heart that could restrain his actions, Black Zetsu truly had no other options besides offering a proper explanation.

Looking at Black Zetsu, whose attitude was very resolute, Obito Uchiha still asked with some doubt.

"Aren't you an evolution of Madara Uchiha's will? If he was prepared in secret, why would he choose to hide it from you?"

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu was immediately stunned, and could only curse Madara Uchiha in his heart.

Ever since Madara Uchiha showed signs of "Indra's power" when he was a child, he had been secretly monitoring him.

Unexpectedly, even under such circumstances, the other party was still able to leave a hidden weapon without the other party noticing.

None of Yu Yi's descendants are good people!

Faced with Obito Uchiha's suspicions, Black Zetsu could only remain silent. Fortunately, his current identity was ultimately Madara Uchiha's will. With this primary and secondary relationship in mind, even if he was kept in the dark and unaware of the truth, it was still plausible on the surface.

However, Obito Uchiha continued without holding back.

"I will be in charge of safeguarding Nagato's remaining Rinnegan from now on, otherwise...!"

If it weren't for the fact that the organization wearing red cloud robes never demonstrated the Rinnegan's abilities, and if it weren't for the need for Black Zetsu to help control the White Zetsu to gather intelligence...

Obito Uchiha wouldn't waste a single word with Black Zetsu today; he would kill him on the spot. But even so, Obito couldn't possibly entrust another Rinnegan to Black Zetsu for safekeeping.

As long as I still possess the Rinnegan, the Eye of the Moon Project can only be completed by me!

Yes, Obito Uchiha didn't really care about Madara Uchiha or his hidden backup plans.

As long as we can firmly hold onto this one and only pair of Rinnegan, then the final Eye of the Moon plan will be foolproof.

In this hopeless world, Obito Uchiha trusted no one, not even Madara Uchiha.

Therefore, reviving Madara Uchiha was never part of his plan from beginning to end.

Black Zetsu glanced hesitantly at Obito Uchiha, but under his icy, almost explosive gaze, he could only nod in agreement.

"Okay, I'll get the Rinnegan for you after we get back this time."

Seeing that Black Zetsu had finally given in, Obito Uchiha slowly suppressed his killing intent.
