Naruto: Who made him a ninja

Chapter 182 Black Zetsu panicked, Madara Uchiha was enraged.

"Hmm? Has the new body been installed yet?"

Within the fields, Orochimaru's chakra surged.

The next instant, all the reanimated ninjas slowly opened their eyes.

In an instant, the entire basement resounded with chakra, and the surging energy caused the entire basement to tremble involuntarily.

Large amounts of smoke and dust continued to fall from the roof, but no one paid any attention to the situation.

Some of them looked confused, clearly not knowing what was going on.

However, some people immediately observed the changes in themselves, clearly indicating that they were aware of all of this.

The Second Tsuchikage, wrapped in bandages like a mummy, looked himself over and then spoke softly.

"It seems I can basically unleash all the power in front of me."

"Tch, how come you're still here?"

The Second Mizukage, who had no eyebrows, also checked himself and then spoke up unhappily.

"Honestly, although you're a reliable teammate, I just can't stand the sight of you."

"Hmph, same to you!"

The Second Tsuchikage snorted coldly, but then he tilted his head and asked in confusion.

"You're really strange. You've recovered to this level and have to deal with all the younger generation in your village, yet you still have such a good attitude?"

"How did you know I was happy?"

The Second Mizukage glanced disdainfully at his nemesis, the Second Tsuchikage, shook his head, and sighed.

"The thought that my opponent is a junior from my own village makes me anything but happy."

However, the fact that my juniors have such good relations with Konoha makes me even less happy.

And thinking about it carefully, it would be truly tragic if they couldn't even handle an old guy like me.

"Then I hope you can feel more sorrow, after all, your juniors are actually getting involved with people from Konoha."

Upon hearing this, the Third Raikage snorted coldly and spoke in a muffled voice.

"I remember that whenever you Kirigakure encounter Konoha, you always make a move. Now that things have turned out like this, it must be quite an eye-opener for you."

"Tch, still better than you, kid."

The Second Mizukage glanced disdainfully at the Third Raikage, his mustache twitching as he revealed a scornful smile.

"Don't you Raikages have your own names? They're all called 'A'. That's incredibly stupid."

And even though you're dead, you still get up to help your son. Just how weak is your Cloud Village to act like this?

I also heard that you were killed by the Third Tsuchikage, that brat Onoki, and as a result, your son allied with someone else.

"Tsk tsk, you must be very proud to have raised such a son, right?"

"Do you want to fight?"

The Third Raikage couldn't hold back his anger upon hearing this, and his already dark face became even more grim.

"Alright, you guys should just keep quiet. No matter what he says, it won't change anything."

The First and Second Raikage walked over, though they also wanted to tear the little mustache's mouth off.

However, they also knew it was pointless. The Impure World Reincarnation technique could be constantly restored, and all they could do was talk.

Moreover, this technique can completely control a person, so no matter what words they use now, it won't work.

"Tch, boring."

The Second Mizukage with the small mustache snorted, then turned to look at Tobirama Senju, who was standing silently with a grim expression on his face. He smiled and moved closer to him.

"Looks like we're the unluckiest two, both of us have to take action against our juniors."

It's really strange. We fought each other to the death back then, but I never thought we'd end up like this.

And I've heard that the Impure World Reincarnation technique was created by you. Wouldn't you say you've brought this upon yourself?

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Tobirama Senju stared coldly at the Second Mizukage; they were both Second Mizukage and knew each other well.

However, since they were still considered "invisible allies," Tobirama Senju uttered a remark and then turned to look at the others.

"Also, don't forget why you were summoned in the first place. It's because your descendants are utterly useless."

They are no match for Konoha, which is why they had to drag you guys, who should have been in the Pure Land long ago, back into the fight.

I never expected that the spell I created would be used like this. This is perhaps a misfortune. I was planning to send you bastards to attack your own village!

But that doesn't change the fact that you younger generation are utterly useless. I really don't know what you're so smug about here.

It must be said that Tobirama Senju was quite adept at verbally attacking people.

With just one sentence, he offended almost every other shadow!

The three Raikage glared angrily, the two Tsuchikage clenched their fists slightly, and even the Second Mizukage raised an eyebrow; this guy's mouth was just too foul.

We must find a way to break free from this control.

Tobirama Senju didn't care what others thought. He lowered his head, feeling his own power, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The current situation was far too bad for him, and the thought of fighting Konoha made him extremely uneasy.

"My power has reached its peak, and perhaps my elder brother has too. If this continues, Konoha is in grave danger."

He couldn't help but feel a little worried, but he was also wondering why he didn't see his older brother.

As for Tobirama Senju, he was the one who had been kept asleep by Orochimaru all along, so he really didn't know much.

He was unaware that his older brother had been brutally beaten up alongside Madara Uchiha.

"What is this?"

"Aren't I already dead?"

"Hey, isn't that a shadow?"

"What exactly is going on?"

The Kage were talking about their own things, while the other ninjas who had been resurrected through Edo Tensei and were still confused about the situation just stared at each other blankly.

Uchiha Itachi was also somewhat bewildered; he himself hadn't expected to actually come back to life!

"What exactly is this?"

Clenching his fist, Itachi Uchiha slowly came to understand his situation.

Having come from Konoha, he could figure out some things, but soon his eyes lit up slightly.

He suddenly realized that this was probably an opportunity given to him by God, an opportunity to explain everything to Sasuke and Shisui!

At the moment of his death, both Sasuke's hateful gaze and Shisui's seemingly unfamiliar tone caused him immense distress.

He wanted to ask himself if he had made the wrong choice, and if he had been too selfish.

However, he found it difficult to say such things. He never believed he was wrong; perhaps he simply didn't give others a chance.

"But this resurrection seems to offer Sasuke and Shisui a chance to understand something."

Uchiha Itachi thought to himself, perhaps he could salvage something.

"Is it appropriate to wake them up now?"

In another room at Orochimaru's base, Black Zetsu asked with some confusion, while Orochimaru shrugged indifferently.

"I don't think it's a big problem. Although there hasn't been any formal conflict or contact yet, the war has essentially already begun."

It's better to let them prepare in advance than to take it slow. Besides, don't you think it's interesting to let them know what they're doing and see their expressions?

Are you a pervert?

Hearing Orochimaru's words, even Black Zetsu couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Many ninjas from Konoha, Sunagakure, and even Kirigakure were summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation, especially Kirigakure, who even summoned the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist!

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were generally loyal to their village, though there were some traitors among them.

However, these traitors were all harmed by Obito, and their Dao hearts were shattered by Might Guy.

But even though they became rebels, they still wanted to replace the Mizukage. Now that their people are attacking their own village, this situation is very torturous.

Orochimaru seemed to really enjoy this feeling, which left Black Zetsu somewhat speechless.

"It's up to you, but you should still be careful, since Konoha also possesses such abilities."

"I know I don't need to worry too much about having control over the situation."

Orochimaru licked his lips and said with a smile.

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique is not so easy to take control of unless the caster knows the hand seals and releases the technique on their own."

Or perhaps they'll find me and kill me; otherwise, this technique won't be taken over by someone else. I'm confident I can keep that up.

"That's good."

Black Zetsu nodded upon hearing this; Orochimaru was indeed a reliable guy.

"Now only the final step remains. Once the two sides make formal contact, we can send them out. This time, it will definitely succeed!"

"Was it successful?"

Orochimaru tilted his head and glanced at Black Zetsu, increasingly feeling that something was off about him.

During this time, although Orochimaru was busy with other things, he also kept observing Black Zetsu in the dark.

Ever since hearing what Shihara Hidezawa said, he couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind, and the fact that he didn't have much information actually became an advantage for him.

He didn't have many preconceived notions, and he could reasonably suspect everyone, with Black Zetsu being the most conspicuous example.

With his unique physiological structure, peculiar consciousness, and the fact that Orochimaru's body is based on White Zetsu, he seems to be able to vaguely sense the extraordinary power within Black Zetsu.

Combined with Xiuze's "little story," this made him feel even more that this Black Zetsu was extraordinary.

This guy is probably hiding a lot of things, and he's hiding them from everyone!

Orochimaru was curious about what he was hiding, but this also motivated him to investigate further.

Knowing so many people might bring him some surprises.

"Speaking of which, where are Lord Madara and Hashirama Senju?"

Black Zetsu was unaware that Orochimaru had taken an interest in him. Seemingly remembering something, he asked curiously.

"I didn't see them at all. Did they go out?"

"Yes, Madara Uchiha took Hashirama Senju with him."

Orochimaru nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

"The two of them are heading towards Konoha. To be honest, I admire them."

"After all, Shihara Hidezawa is in Konoha, it's really impressive that they dared to go there like this."

"Go to Konoha?"

Black Zetsu frowned upon hearing this; it seemed to contradict the plan.

Why is this guy going to Konoha at this time? What is his purpose?

Could it be...?

Suddenly, Black Zetsu panicked!

Madara Uchiha's actions were always purposeful, and he also knew what Madara Uchiha was most interested in right now.

"You didn't know?"

Seemingly oblivious to Black Zetsu's unease, Orochimaru continued speaking with a smile.

"After that 'angel' returned, Madara Uchiha immediately chose to set off, and he insisted on taking Hashirama Senju with him."

I can't use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to keep observing, because Madara Uchiha can sense what I'm doing, and I don't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings.

However, I seem to have heard that they set off for the sake of the Senju clan's relics.

"Relics of the Senju Clan"

This one sentence almost broke Black Zetsu's defenses!

He himself has been searching for the relics of the Senju clan, but he still doesn't know where they are hidden.

That damn thing could actually change Madara Uchiha's mind!

After all, the Uchiha stone tablet originally didn't have the "Eye of the Moon" plan; he added these things.

He also used this to fool Madara Uchiha. If Madara Uchiha were to learn the truth now...

He didn't even dare to imagine what Madara Uchiha would do!

"Hagoromo Otsutsuki, you damned bastard!"

"You sealed away Mother, yet you still left me with this kind of backup plan?"

"Indra left behind a broken stone tablet, fine, but you even left one for the Asuras?"

"And you even hid it away, preventing the world from knowing?"

"You really deserve to die!"

Black Zetsu was cursing inwardly, but at this moment he knew that cursing was useless. Instead of cursing, he should try to figure out what was going on.

He now only hopes that Madara Uchiha won't find anything, and that Konoha won't give Madara Uchiha this opportunity.

However, Shihara Hidezawa would probably be quite happy to let Uchiha Madara go and take a look, especially if Uchiha Madara doesn't go with any malicious intent.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu couldn't hold back any longer. He suppressed his inner fear and quickly asked in a low voice.

"How long ago did Lord Madara and the others set off?"

"You really don't know?"

Orochimaru feigned curiosity, then shrugged and smiled.

"They set off in the afternoon, and they've probably already arrived in Konoha by now."

"What, you want to go see it too?"

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Black Zetsu nodded, then spoke directly.

"Send them out immediately; it shouldn't take long to investigate."

I think everyone is eagerly awaiting the start of the war!

After saying that, Black Zetsu immediately merged into the ground and disappeared.

After all, this concerned his mother's lifting of the lockdown, and he needed to know the situation on the front lines no matter what.

It's not a problem that Madara Uchiha and his group have already arrived in Konoha; he can get there even faster with White Zetsu.

His only worry now is what exactly is written inside that damned "Thousand Hands Relic"—that's the most crucial thing!

"Hopefully, Shihara Hidezawa will find them and attack immediately."

"Orochimaru and his team have already begun their operation. Has Hidezawa and the others returned?"

As the reanimated demons danced wildly, in another room, Nagato, who had been with the Gedo Mazo, couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

After learning that Obito Uchiha had gone alone to announce the start of the war, due to his distrust of Obito and the others, he did not hesitate to choose to stay with the Gedo Mazo.

If he really encountered trouble, he would hide inside the body of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

He refused to believe that the Gedo Mazo at its current strength could be breached by these guys.

After all, Shusawa has never broken the Gedo Mazo!

However, he also needed to get more information and understand what was happening in the outside world, especially Xiao Nan's return, which made him particularly curious.

But to his utter surprise, Xiao Nan brought him quite a lot of chilling news.

The Rinnegan, it actually belongs to Madara Uchiha?

Madara Uchiha.

To be treated like a clown and made a fool of?

All of this information was hard for Nagato to accept, yet it wasn't entirely unacceptable, because Konan also told him something else.

"Xiuze said that you are actually a descendant of the 'Sage Body' just like him, but you were targeted from a young age, and your body was used to cultivate the Rinnegan, so..."

Nagato would definitely accept this answer, since only a Sage Body can nurture the Sage's Eye!

Although it was a bit of a pity that he couldn't reach the level of Xiuze, he found himself quite calm.

He is now paying more attention to the situation outside the company.

"Xiuze should be back by now. He couldn't possibly abandon us when the situation is so critical."

Xiao Nan spoke in a low voice, even though they had set up a soundproof barrier, she was still extremely careful.

"And his plan was for Obito Uchiha to obtain the Rinnegan, and you..."

"It doesn't matter, since they're not my eyes anyway, it doesn't matter who gets them."

Nagato remained calm. He had already promised and naturally wouldn't go back on his word, and now that he had received this news, he was even more composed.

It's not a bad thing to disgust Madara Uchiha, especially since Obito Uchiha is an idiot. Giving him the right thing to do is much safer than giving it to Madara Uchiha!

However, there was one thing that still worried Nagato greatly: he looked at Konan.

"What if Obito Uchiha attacks you? I've said before that I don't want that to happen again."

"Don't worry about that."

Xiao Nan smiled when she heard the question, and then spoke with great seriousness.

"Xiuze gave me the Flying Thunder God Mark; he had already thought this through."

Not only me, but also Yahiko has his mark to ensure everyone's safety.

In addition, he told me that as long as I had a breath left, he could save me.

Even death would be acceptable; isn't Yahiko the best proof of that?

"This guy really thought things through."

Hearing this, Nagato finally breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't worried about his own situation at all; his biggest concern now was for Konan and Yahiko.

However, Xiuze had already thought of everything, so he was relieved, and at this moment he couldn't help but show a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to what's to come. Also, I don't seem to sense Madara Uchiha's presence here. Did he go to Konoha?"

"If he really did eavesdrop on our conversation, then he must have gone there."

Xiao Nan also had a smile on her lips. She turned her head to look outside and spoke softly after a while.

"I'm really curious, how are they doing now?"

In the Land of Fire, within Konoha Village.

Because of the impending war, martial law has been imposed on the entire village.

Although Konoha was still bustling late at night, the number of ninjas patrolling the streets had visibly increased.

However, all of this meant nothing to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha!

As some of the strongest beings in the ninja world, they could either break through the barrier and force their way into Konoha, or they could enter silently.

To put it bluntly, even the most ingenious barrier would be hard to defend against the two of them!

"arrive."

Outside the Hokage Building, looking at the familiar and towering structure, Madara Uchiha spoke calmly, then looked at Hashirama Senju, who was standing to the side with a look of emotion.

"What's wrong? Don't you miss this place?"

"Let's stop talking about these unimportant things and get moving."

The latest novel is first published here!

Hashirama Senju didn't seem particularly interested in exploring this kind of thing with Madara Uchiha; he shook his head and walked forward first.

"However, just in case, it's best to keep a low profile, and there's something I'm very curious about."

Xiuze is willing to give you the information, so why don't you just contact him directly instead of sneaking around like this?

"Because I don't believe what he says, or what he gives me; I want to see for myself, I want to verify it myself!"

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly. He wasn't in a good mood right now, and he wasn't even sure what he wanted to know.

If everything he said is true, then he really is just like Obito Uchiha, a complete clown!

If none of this is true, then one is practically a clown oneself.

It's so embarrassing to be completely fooled by just a few words!

Caught between a rock and a hard place, it seemed that no matter what choice he made, he would become a clown, and he was indeed intrigued. Uchiha Madara was extremely frustrated.

But no matter what, figuring it all out is much better than being completely fooled!

"Whatever you want."

Hashirama Senju shrugged, and seeing that Madara Uchiha had already begun to act, he immediately followed suit.

Before long, they had infiltrated the Hokage Building and were heading straight for the Hokage's office.

Although it was late at night, and Tsunade never worked overtime, there were still quite a few Anbu patrolling the Hokage Building.

No, these ANBU members didn't seem to notice that there were two more people in this huge Hokage building!

"Um?"

Suddenly, Hashirama Senju frowned and stopped in his tracks, which puzzled Madara Uchiha, who was standing nearby.

"What's wrong?"

"I think I really sensed something."

Hashirama Senju hesitated for a moment, but ultimately told the truth.

"It was a very strange chakra, and it seemed to have a huge attraction for me."

It's strange, why didn't I notice this before? Such an attractive product shouldn't have been ignored by me.

"Find it first, then we'll talk about it."

Madara Uchiha didn't care about anything else; he was now even more anxious.

The two of them moved very quickly and soon arrived outside the Hokage's office. Hashirama Senju clearly felt that the attraction was getting stronger and stronger!

Even Madara Uchiha seemed to have noticed it.

"Looks like this is the place."

Madara Uchiha took a deep breath and immediately opened the door. At the same time, his eyes instantly transformed into Sharingan.

"What?"

The Anbu in the Hokage's office noticed something was wrong and immediately looked up, but in that instant, their eyes became unfocused.

With just a simple glance, they were controlled by Madara Uchiha's genjutsu!

"You bastard"

Hashirama Senju had a bit of a headache, but strictly speaking, this was the best outcome, at least the guy didn't actually kill anyone.

"This is it."

Madara Uchiha quickly found what he wanted in the Hokage's office; the intense chakra attraction was something he couldn't ignore.

His gaze quickly fell on a huge cabinet, from which the chakra was emanating!

"We arrived just in time."

Black Zetsu's gaze also quietly appeared not far away. He held his breath as much as possible and hid inside the wall, exploring inside.

He really didn't want to come to Konoha because Shihara Hidezawa's perception was too outrageous, even more exaggerated than Uzumaki Mito's back then!

In comparison, neither Madara Uchiha nor Hashirama Senju could compare to Mito Uzumaki in this respect.

But he was really going all out today; he was determined to get the information no matter what!

Fortunately, the White Zetsu possessed the "Mayfly Technique," which allowed him to travel underground at an unimaginable speed, enabling him to catch up.

"That intense chakra attraction...did they put the Uchiha stone tablet and the Senju artifacts together?"

He dared not breathe and remained crouched there, but he could guess what was going on.

Sure enough, when Madara Uchiha broke the seal on the cabinet and opened it, he found the Uchiha stone tablet and a mysterious tree root placed together!

"This is."

Black Zetsu's eyes widened. Even though he couldn't touch it, he could feel the ancient aura on the tree roots and the chakra traces of Yin-Yang Release engraved on them.

Moreover, he clearly sensed that this chakra was not as simple as Yin-Yang Release.

"Is this... a Bloodline Limit?"

Sensing this power, Black Zetsu became completely obedient, even though this power was so subtle, he also had something similar within his body.

Moreover, the fact that the Yin-Yang fusion is so perfect and flawless, as if they were one, already reveals a clue.

"Damn it, this really was left behind by that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo."

Black Zetsu's already dark face looked even more ugly; he was beginning to despair. Uchiha Madara also raised an eyebrow at this moment.

"This tree root is really interesting. It looks a lot like the Uchiha Flame Fan."

"Perhaps, your ancestors took it from this."

Hashirama Senju also noticed something amiss and couldn't help but make a comment.

The tree root was still the same tree root, but as Xiuze's strength increased, and he continuously expanded the chakra inside the tree root, it changed.

The tree root naturally changed as well, and besides, the material used to make the Uchiha Flame Fan was unique, something that Hashirama Senju had also seen before.

It's not surprising that such a misunderstanding arose, and it only further solidified their belief.

This thing must be real!

"Furthermore, the stone tablet and tree roots placed together also attract chakra, which is probably due to the conflict of forces."

Madara Uchiha murmured something, then activated his Rinnegan and began to read intently.

"Well then, let's take a good look and see what's hidden inside!"

"Um"

Hashirama Senju nodded and followed. Under the influence of the Yang Release power and his sensory abilities, he seemed to be able to discern what was written on it.

"Hmph, they're all pretty much the same at the beginning."

Madara Uchiha snorted softly; his Rinnegan ensured he could see everything.

"They all tell the story of the Sage of Six Paths pacifying the ninja world, the problems of our two ancestors, and the power of all things in the universe."

It's strange, though, that this story also revolves around acquiring the power of Ashura. How exactly did Shihara Hidezawa manage to do it?

"Don't forget, Xiuzawa has an Uchiha girl by his side who is no weaker than you were back then."

Hashirama Senju kept his eyes closed, silently sensing the situation, and immediately laughed upon hearing Madara Uchiha's words.

"Perhaps something happened between them that allowed them to obtain this power."

"."

Madara Uchiha clenched his fist slightly. He glared at Hashirama Senju. Why did this guy talk so disgustingly?

Didn't you betray me back then?!

However, just as Madara Uchiha was about to argue with this "idiot," Hashirama Senju spoke up again.

"However, the later parts seem to be a little different."

Furthermore, I haven't obtained the "power of all things in the universe" you mentioned, so my perception isn't very clear, but what you're saying seems to be true."

"Um"

Madara Uchiha turned his head and stared at the stone tablet. His gaze tightened, and after a while, he spoke in a cold voice.

"Descendants of Indra and Asura, though my days are numbered, I have sensed something amiss."

It is the embodiment of darkness, it has ulterior motives, and it even led Indra astray.

As soon as the preceding text was read aloud, Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju's expressions turned grim, and even Black Zetsu, who was hidden in the darkness, changed his expression drastically.

Damn it!

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo!

You bastard, you already found me?!

At this moment, Black Zetsu couldn't hold back any longer.

He always felt that he was very well hidden, very well concealed.

He was also very proud that he had instigated his sons to turn against each other right under the nose of his elder brother, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who had sealed away their mother.

result?

Am I a clown?!

Black Zetsu really wanted to dig up Hagoromo Otsutsuki's grave at that moment, but he forced himself to calm down because he felt that he probably wouldn't find anything there.

You damned bastard, you really deserve to die!

"Damn it!"

Black Zetsu suppressed his anger, while Madara Uchiha's expression began to twist.

At that moment, he truly felt like he had become a clown!

Or rather, the Uchiha clan has become clowns, being led by the nose for thousands of years.

Still haven't discovered anything?

"Ban, don't worry."

Hashirama Senju seemed to sense Madara Uchiha's anger, and he immediately tried to comfort him.

"Don't attract too much attention. The Sage of Six Paths must have his own purpose in making this arrangement."

He realized that the fact that they hadn't exposed it explained everything, and at least we now know that such a being exists in the ninja world, doesn't it?

"Um"

Madara Uchiha forced himself to calm down and nodded.

"Indeed, the Sage of Six Paths may have had his own purposes."

"So what's being said next? There's probably an answer in this."

"Shut up, leave me alone, I know!"

Seeing the somewhat impatient Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha really wanted to punch the guy twice.

How come that bastard didn't find anything back then? If he had found that damned tree root back then, would there have been so many things that happened afterward?

Unfortunately, there were no answers to any of these questions, and he could only suppress his anger and continue watching.

"In the following episodes, the Sage of Six Paths says that he and his brother were incapable of killing his mother, but who is his brother?"

"I don't know, we'll have to investigate that later, please don't interrupt."

"The Sage of Six Paths' mother was worried about the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan, which led to her crazy actions, but this crazy action was not clearly explained."

In addition, he revealed the reason why he allowed that guy to instigate the war between Indra and Asura to continue for a thousand years.

"What is it, Madara? Don't stop now!"

"The hope is that through this constant warfare that engulfs the entire ninja world, we can enhance our control over power and strengthen our will, so that we can face those Otsutsuki directly."

Madara Uchiha stopped talking at this point.

The Sage of Six Paths left a final, tender message: he hoped they would reconcile, and he wished for the sun to shine on the earth. He didn't say it.

He felt his mind was in turmoil because the information from the tree root was vastly different from that of the Uchiha stone tablet.

Moreover, there are too many problems here, and he can't adapt to them all at once.

"It's over."

Black Zetsu had been listening the whole time, and when he heard Madara Uchiha mention that his two older brothers couldn't kill their mother, he was basically certain it was true.

Upon hearing the surname "Otsutsuki" and hearing about his mother's crazy actions, he was 100% certain that this was all the work of his older brother!

In addition, he was absolutely certain that he had been tricked by his older brother.

He suddenly had a guess: could it be that the reason this damned tree root is sprouting now is because he is about to succeed, so his older brother has made a move again?

Or perhaps, there's some other strange arrangement at play?

The thought sent a chill down Black Zetsu's spine.

"Madara, aren't you going to ask where this was hiding before, and why it has suddenly reappeared in Konoha?"

Suddenly, Hashirama Senju asked a question in a low voice, which instantly made Madara Uchiha realize something, and Black Zetsu also immediately realized something.

Yeah, what's going on with this thing? Why is it popping up now?

"What do these secret agents know? What? Let's see."

Madara Uchiha quickly frowned again, but then shook his head and looked at the two people controlled by the Sharingan.

"Do you know where this thing came from?"

It's the moon.

Suddenly, one of the secret agents spoke up, sounding rather dull.

"Snatched from a group of Hyuga people"

"The moon? Hyuga?"

These words left Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju exchanging bewildered glances, while Black Zetsu turned pale.

Holy crap, it's the moon!

No wonder the ninja world can't find it; the moon was taken away by Hamura Otsutsuki!

At this moment, Black Zetsu finally understood everything. It turned out that everything was a backup plan, and that he had really been tricked by his two older brothers like a clown.

"No, this absolutely cannot go on!"

Black Zetsu took a deep breath, and his figure slowly disappeared from the scene. He needed to calm down and think carefully about how to deal with the current situation.

Perhaps he could say that the tree roots were tampered with, but the problem is, how do you say that?

Black Zetsu needs to think this through carefully; this is no easy task, and Madara Uchiha is starting to become unreliable!

If this guy turns against him, then he'll have to try another approach.

Finally seeing the Rinnegan, finally seeing hope, Black Zetsu didn't want to miss it no matter what.

Perhaps he could give Obito Uchiha a try?

"We can't give up on Madara Uchiha either; perhaps we can use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to control him!"

In an instant, Black Zetsu thought of countless solutions, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Just before leaving Konoha, the image of Uchiha Obito resurfaced in his mind, causing him to sigh involuntarily.

Can this guy handle it?

And right after he left, Hashirama Senju spoke again.

"The moon? Hyuga? How is this possible? How did they get to the moon? And how is Hyuga on the moon again?"

"Because it's very simple."

However, this time it wasn't the same ANBU member who spoke, but a voice that sent chills down their spines.

Turning their heads, they saw that Xiuze had already sat in the Hokage's chair, looking at them with amusement.

"Haven't you already seen what's above? The Sage of Six Paths has a younger brother."

However, there are still bloodline limits in the ninja world that are not derived from chakra fusion, but rather from physical mutations like those of the Senju and Uchiha clans.

The Hyuga are a case in point; they are descendants of the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother, and their main clan resides on the moon.

"And this tree root was something their ancestors took with them when they went to the moon. It's not surprising that I found it on there, is it?"

"That's interesting. So that's how it is."

At the Land of Rice Fields base, Orochimaru, with the help of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, learned more secrets, and at this moment, a smile appeared on his face.

Moreover, he knew that Black Zetsu had passed away, but he had not been able to find Black Zetsu through the Impure World Reincarnation. He felt that he had uncovered a huge secret!

"This guy is definitely suspicious!"

Thinking of this, Orochimaru couldn't help but lick his lips.

Secrets have a price, and this secret seems to be able to help him do quite a few things!

While Orochimaru was pondering how to better utilize this secret, outside the Land of Rice Fields base, Obito Uchiha was observing the situation of the Impure World Reincarnation.

Since Orochimaru awakened all these reanimated beings, they have begun their operations and are heading to various battlefields.

This clearly indicates they're prepared to take the initiative!

However, Obito noticed that there seemed to be no trace of Madara Uchiha or Hashirama Senju among these figures, and he also did not see Nagato make any moves.

More importantly, he saw that all the other Akatsuki members had set off, but no one had notified him!?

This made him unable to resist looking towards Nagato's room; he was already starting to get restless.

"I can't let Project Mooneye fall into someone else's hands; I must take control of everything myself!"
