The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

The Land of Earth.

Uchiha Kiyoshi walked along the rocky path.

"Ok?"

Sensing being watched, Uchiha Kiyoshi stopped and prepared for battle.

The mental perception unfolds.

Within the field of mental perception, there was a dark mass within the rock to my right.

With his enhanced perception, Uchiha Kiyoshi activated his sensory ninjutsu again, striking the area behind the rocks to his right.

There was no trace of chakra.

With his left hand, he secretly formed a hand seal, conjuring a kunai, which Uchiha Kiyoshi hurled at him, sending it flying around the rocks and towards the shadowy figure.

"Oh dear! We've been spotted!"

A black figure flashed by, and then a strange middle-aged ninja appeared in front of Uchiha Kiyoshi.

"Hmm? Not Black Zetsu? No, transformation is also one of Black Zetsu's specialties."

Uchiha Kiyoshi narrowed his eyes, looking at this guy who resembled Black Zetsu, his mind in turmoil.

"Take care of this guy?"

Black Zetsu is the most cunning and secretive person in the ninja world. If he misses this opportunity, he doesn't know if he will ever have another chance to find one.

However, Black Zetsu's ability to protect himself is not weak either, and if he makes a mistake, he will be exposed.

Or should we pretend we didn't see anything?

Also, how did Black Zetsu end up in the Land of Earth?

Shouldn't you be keeping an eye on Nagato in the Land of Rain?

Uchiha Kiyoshi was unaware that news of what his clone had done in Iwagakure had already spread, and he was completely baffled by Black Zetsu's arrival.

Black Zetsu was also frustrated. He was doing well in the Land of Rain when he received a message from White Zetsu saying that someone in Iwagakure seemed to be causing trouble for the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

How could this be tolerated? The Tailed Beasts are of paramount importance to him. With Rōshi, the Jinchūriki, just sitting there, it's relatively easy to collect the Tailed Beasts in the future. But if something unexpected happens, determining the time and place of the Four-Tails' revival will be a very time-consuming task.

We must go and check on the situation.

If someone really has designs on the Tailed Beasts, you need to know who that person is so you can deal with them.

But who is this ninja in front of me?

The sheer amount of chakra he possesses is quite formidable, even among Kage-level beings, isn't it?

You can run into a Kage-level character just by walking around?

Moreover, what's most terrifying is that the other party was able to detect his spying and accurately pinpoint his location!

"run?"

This was Black Zetsu's only thought.

He's a weakling right now, and he might not even be able to beat a Kage-level opponent.

However, before Black Zetsu could make a judgment, Uchiha Kiyoshi had already made a decision.

"Black Zetsu?"

A voice, like a bolt from the blue, exploded in Black Jue's mind.

Black Zetsu suddenly stood up.

Who is this person?

How did you know it was me?

My transformation technique is so perfect, there's no way they could recognize me, right?

No, that's not the point.

The most crucial question is: how did this guy know I was there?

Seeing the other party's reaction, Uchiha Kiyoshi was also secretly satisfied.

Hehe, did I scare you, you coward?

"Black Zetsu, the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will?"

How did you end up here?

Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't go too far.

Knowing about Black Zetsu's existence had already shocked the other party so much; if knowing about it was completely harmless, then Black Zetsu would have fought him to the death.

Although Black Zetsu's strength isn't that great, he is ultimately Kaguya's will, so it's hard to guarantee that he doesn't have any special methods.

"Um?

The will of Madara?

Fortunately, they don't know everything about me.

Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was quite flustered when a completely unfamiliar Kage-level expert suddenly called out his name.

"Who are you?

Where did you get this information from?

Uchiha Kiyoshi exposed Black Zetsu because he had something to discuss, and he didn't want to make things too tense.

After dispelling the transformation jutsu, Uchiha Kiyoshi returned to his original appearance.

Compared to two years ago, Uchiha Kiyoshi now appears more mature and exudes a free and easy temperament, a significant difference from his appearance two years ago.

Even Black Zetsu couldn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time.

Uchiha Kiyoshi: ......

You didn't even recognize him?

Uchiha Kiyoshi reluctantly activated his Sharingan.

"Huh? Sharingan?"

"From the Uchiha clan?"

Upon seeing Uchiha Kiyoshi activate his Sharingan, Black Zetsu went through all the Uchiha in his mind, but he still couldn't find any Uchiha with Kage-level strength.

No, there's someone with the potential to reach Kage level!

As Black Zetsu compared the figure in his eyes with the appearance of the Blood-Eyed Asura Uchiha Kiyoshi in his mind, he finally determined Uchiha Kiyoshi's identity.

"...Am I really that insignificant?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi also started to complain in his mind.

"However, this shows that I did a good job in my previous work."

"Uchiha Kiyoshi? You're not dead?"

Black Zetsu, having identified Uchiha Kiyoshi, was now surprised to learn that Uchiha Kiyoshi was still alive.

Uchiha Kiyoshi: Are you being polite?

Suppressing his anger, Uchiha Kiyoshi didn't make a move; he simply stared at his opponent.

No wonder they haven't been able to rescue your mother after a thousand years, is this the kind of person she is?

Black Zetsu was a little embarrassed by Uchiha Kiyoshi's gaze, and had just blurted out the words.

Thinking back on it now, he could come up with a suitable reason in his mind.

Uchiha, I understand. Back then, Uchiha Kiyoshi was on the verge of death when he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and then escaped the life-or-death crisis with his eye technique.

As for knowing about me, it must be because of the kaleidoscope eye technique, right?

Anyway, the eye techniques of the kaleidoscope are incredibly diverse, and it's not impossible for some to be quite unique.

"Since you know who I am, you should know about that person's situation."

"Of course I know, Uchiha Madara is still alive."

I want to see him.

It shouldn't be a problem, right?

Moreover, I believe I have shown enough sincerity.

With that, Uchiha Kiyoshi spread his hands.

However, the way Kiyoshi Uchiha stared intently at Black Zetsu revealed that he was not entirely at peace.

"What does this guy want with Madara?"

Black Zetsu smiled broadly, but inwardly he was cursing.

Madara is doing well right now, so I hope Uchiha Kiyoshi won't run into any trouble if he goes to find him now.

However, looking at Uchiha Kiyoshi's fierce gaze, it seemed as if he was saying, "I've already shown you so much sincerity. If you can't meet my needs, then don't blame me for taking action."

Threat!

"When has your great-grandfather ever been threatened like this?"

A smile appeared on Black Zetsu's face.

"No problem, I'm sure Lord Madara will be very happy to see his junior from the same clan."

At the same time, I comforted myself.

"A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. I've endured it for a thousand years, what can't I endure?"

Uchiha Kiyoshi smiled with satisfaction, a look of approval on his face.

Looking at Uchiha Kiyoshi's expression, Black Zetsu felt like he had eaten shit, especially since he couldn't beat him. It was so frustrating.

Uchiha Kiyoshi was also excited at this moment.

Just when I was worried that my Sharingan research had hit a bottleneck, Black Zetsu delivered it to me.
