The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

Black Zetsu, lying on his side on the ground, immediately pointed out the flaws in Obito's plan.

"In my opinion, it's time to use the Rinne Rebirth to revive Lord Madara. As long as he returns to the ninja world, we can easily deal with either Hyuga Tsune or the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."

Seeing that Obito didn't respond, Black Zetsu revealed his true intentions and spoke up.

"The time is not right to revive Madara yet; let's not bring this up again."

Obito Uchiha suddenly stood up, not even glancing at Black Zetsu behind him, and walked into a huge cave on his own.

Under the candlelight, the enormous demonic statue sat cross-legged, its hands clasped together in a lotus shape, strangely exuding a sense of holiness.

The thigh that was severed by Hyuga Zetsu has been fully restored by consuming the tailed beast's chakra.

After gazing up at the Gedo Mazo for a while, the spatial vortex swallowed Obito, taking him into the dim Kamui dimension.

"Spiritual communication!"

With a low shout from Obito, the Gedo Mazo in the cave turned into a cloud of white mist and disappeared, having been summoned into the Kamui dimension by Obito.

Hmph, it seems Obito thinks he's all grown up now and is completely unwilling to listen to my opinions.

Do we have to go through another mental fusion?

Black Zetsu's eyes turned incredibly gloomy.

The Eye of the Moon Plan has progressed to this point, and success is just one step away. Since Obito Uchiha is no longer able to push the plan forward, he has no choice but to activate his backup plan ahead of schedule.

Black Zetsu's body silently sank into the ground, using the Ephemeral Technique to traverse thousands of miles at an unimaginable speed, entering the Land of Earth and arriving at a hidden cave more than ten kilometers below the surface.

The cave was surrounded by numerous cursed seals, isolating it from all sensory ninjutsu and preventing the Land of Earth ninjas from discovering its secrets to the greatest extent possible.

The space inside was small, only a few square meters in size, and there was nothing else except a coffin placed vertically.

As Black Zetsu placed his palm on the coffin lid, the radiance of chakra shone forth, reflecting off Black Zetsu's face.

Soon, an extremely old corpse, its face completely obscured by white hair, appeared before Black Jue.

Even though he had been dead for many years, the body still emitted a faint chakra pressure. It was the body left behind by Madara Uchiha after his death, which was placed here by Black Zetsu. Even Obito Uchiha did not know this.

After staring blankly at Uchiha Itachi for a few seconds, Black Zetsu let out a hoarse laugh, and his entire body began to flow like liquid, gradually enveloping the entire coffin.

Mother, you will soon see the light of day again!

-----------------

On a secluded, deserted mountain road, several figures were running quickly.

If Naruto were here, he would be overjoyed, because the leader is none other than Sasuke.

"Orochimaru, now that Akatsuki and the four great ninja villages are keeping each other in check, do we still need to be so cautious and relocate every seven days? You might as well use that time to teach me a few new techniques."

As they approached the end of the mountain path, Sasuke complained without turning his head.

"Sasuke-kun, the prerequisite for becoming strong is to survive."

Orochimaru made no attempt to hide the covetousness in his eyes as he looked at Sasuke's retreating figure and replied.

Sasuke frowned, about to speak again, when suddenly his gaze sharpened and he stopped in his tracks.

A lone coffin stood at the end of the mountain path, looking incredibly eerie.

Orochimaru, I hope you won't disappoint me.

In the distance, a yellow eye hid behind a large tree, its gaze fixed on Orochimaru in the distance.

Chapter 201 Failure to Fuse Ten-Tails Chakra

This is……?

Orochimaru frowned, staring at the coffin incongruous with its surroundings, and keenly sensed a conspiracy.

"Sasuke, wait..."

Before Orochimaru could figure out what was going on, Sasuke, gripping the sword hilt with his backhand, rushed to the coffin like a rabbit, completely ignoring Orochimaru's shouts to stop him.

A dazzling flash of light appeared, and the coffin lid shattered into seven or eight pieces scattered on the ground, revealing the corpse inside.

"Orochimaru, when did you become so cowardly?"

Sasuke glanced at them casually, then turned around with a mocking expression and spoke.

Sure enough, as they grew older, the former Sannin of Konoha became more and more afraid of death.

Watching Orochimaru cautiously approach the coffin step by step, Sasuke shoved the Kusanagi sword back into its sheath, his eyes filled with disdain.

Sasuke is still too young.

As Orochimaru walked past Sasuke, his yellow vertical pupils flickered slightly. He glanced at Sasuke's face out of the corner of his eye and sighed inwardly.

Hiss!

The next moment, a green snake emerged from Orochimaru's sleeve, coiled around the old man's corpse, and then slowly moved upwards.

It could actually be...

When Orochimaru finally saw the old man's face, which was hidden by his white hair, his entire body tensed up, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

Orochimaru recognizes this corpse?

Such an obvious change in expression naturally did not escape Sasuke's observation, so he turned his head back, his dark eyes falling on the corpse's face with a hint of curiosity.

Surprisingly... I still don't recognize him.

Although Sasuke saw a sense of familiarity in Itachi's face, he clearly did not connect the old man's corpse in the coffin with Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha, the man who forged the Uchiha clan's reputation, became a taboo within the clan, whose name was never even mentioned. Naturally, he did not leave any deep impression on the then young Sasuke.

Most importantly, the two stone statues standing opposite each other in the Valley of the End left people with the stereotypical image of Madara Uchiha as majestic and extraordinary, making it difficult to associate the old man with the aged face and missing teeth in front of them with Madara Uchiha.

It's definitely a conspiracy.

Compared to Sasuke's bewildered expression, Orochimaru immediately became extremely vigilant upon seeing the corpse before him.

Reason told Orochimaru that Madara Uchiha wouldn't fall from the sky, and that this coffin must have been placed here by someone else specifically for him, with the most likely purpose of luring him to resurrect Madara Uchiha using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The best course of action is either to turn around and leave immediately, or to use a fire jutsu to burn Madara Uchiha's body to the ground, in order to avoid falling into someone else's trap as much as possible.

However, when it came to actually making up his mind, Orochimaru's seemingly resolute heart began to waver.

The situation in the ninja world is currently volatile and unpredictable. Even a powerful figure like Orochimaru, who is renowned throughout the ninja world, cannot help but feel a sense of crisis, as if his life is hanging by a thread.

If only we could obtain Madara Uchiha's power...

Even though he knew the coffin in front of him was poison wrapped in honey, Orochimaru could not resist its sweet temptation.

You must never summon Madara Uchiha unless it is a critical moment.

This is the vow Orochimaru made in his heart.

-----------------

At the same time, in Hinata Sawatatsu's space.

Before the enormous golden reincarnation, Hyuga Zechen's expression was extremely solemn as he stared intently at the giant sphere of light before him.

Nine different colored chakras were colliding back and forth in the sphere of light, showing no sign of merging.

Despite being entirely composed of tailed beast chakra devoid of self-awareness, they resisted merging together relentlessly, becoming irreconcilable enemies. Even the immense power of the golden Tenseigan, capable of propelling the moon into the ninja world, failed to compress them effectively.

Was it because the Sage of Six Paths secretly left a contingency plan when he separated the Ten-Tails' chakra, or was it because he lacked the Gedo Mazo as a vessel that prevented them from fusing?

Against the backdrop of the giant sphere of light, various colors of light reflected off Hinata Zechen's face, making him appear unpredictable.

Perhaps, we could try again?

Because of the lack of relevant information, it is certainly difficult to find the root cause by thinking alone. Only by conducting repeated experiments can we find the root cause.

hum!

With a thought from Hinata Zechen, the giant Tenseigan shone with golden light like the rising sun, condensing into a golden pillar that enveloped the sphere of light, attempting to compress it again with external force to see if a miracle could be achieved through sheer force.

At the same time, Hinata Zetsu's azure Tenseigan emitted a faint glow, and the two resonated with each other, producing a deafening roar.

The semi-transparent barrier enveloping the room trembled precariously amidst the vibrations of immense chakra, its violent fluctuations spilling outwards and causing the entire castle to tremble slightly.

What happened? Did an enemy break into the castle?

The trapped members of Sasori, Deidara, Gaara, and Konan had various expressions on their faces, some filled with anticipation, others with furrowed brows. In particular, the astonishing chakra fluctuations emanating from their golden Tenseigan gave them a suffocating sense of oppression.

At this moment, Hyuga Zechen had no time to pay attention to anything else. His eyes were fixed on the nine tailed beast chakras in the sphere of light, and he was closely watching all the changes they produced.

It seems to be having some effect.

Under the pressure of the golden Tenseigan chakra, the collision speed of the nine tailed beast chakras in the sphere of light slowed down significantly, and they were no longer clearly distinct from each other, showing obvious signs of beginning to merge.

Click...

Just then, a very faint sound rang out, sounding so out of place in the silent environment.

The surface of the sphere containing the chakra of the nine tailed beasts first developed a barely perceptible crack, which then began to spread rapidly in all directions, covering the entire surface of the sphere in the blink of an eye.

boom!

Before Hinata Zechen could take any remedial action, the entire sphere of light shattered, with countless fragments of varying sizes exploding and shooting out in all directions.

The faint fusion of the nine tailed beast chakra instantly disintegrated, transforming into nine streams of light that flew out in different directions, attempting to break free of the barrier and regain their freedom.

So it still doesn't work?

Hyuga Zechen sighed, stopped the output of the golden Tenseigan chakra, and then waved his hand. The chakra of the nine tailed beasts was imprisoned in mid-air by an invisible force, and then transformed into palm-sized tomoe, which flew back to Hyuga Zechen's side.

Through the translucent outer shell of the magatama, one can vaguely see miniature versions of the tailed beasts sleeping inside.

It seems that forcibly suppressing the fusion with external force is not an option.

Now, Hyuga Sawatatsu faces two paths: either take the Gedo Mazo from Obito's control, or find another way to replace it.

Well, to be on the safe side, we must prepare for both possibilities.

Chapter 202 Target: Another Ten-Tails

Since the Akatsuki members attacked the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, causing the Raikage to mysteriously disappear, the Akatsuki organization has vanished without a trace, as if it had completely disappeared from the ninja world.

The more this was the case, the stronger the worries of the four great ninja villages became, suspecting that the Akatsuki organization was brewing an even bigger conspiracy.
