The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

Black Zetsu's ability to hide is too strong. He only discovered Black Zetsu before because of the environment. Now that Black Zetsu is underground, he can't find Black Zetsu at all and definitely can't catch up with him.

"However, having a part of your body is enough. Let's study it and see what state it is in. Perhaps the Otsutsuki's immortality is related to this."

Chapter 279 Madara's Actions

In the end, Tu Shi still failed to capture Black Zetsu.

However, this was somewhat expected, given Black Zetsu's incredible survival abilities. Once an opponent escapes his sight, there's almost no chance of catching them. Moreover, Black Zetsu can use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows for escape through earth-based means), so if he really needs to flee, he can definitely escape by burrowing underground.

That's not all, the real problem is that the opponent also has skills like detaching its tail to survive...

What else can earth and stone say?

Uchiha Kiyoshi's side has been researching the soul for quite some time, and even the techniques for cultivating the soul have been improved many times. They have developed one or two attack methods targeting the soul.

However, Black Zetsu is too special. From the beginning, Tsuchishi was not confident that he could keep him here. He could not personally test the methods that could cause permanent damage to Black Zetsu on him.

Otherwise, if Black Zetsu gets away, it will cause endless trouble.

Black Zetsu is now Madara's right-hand man, and at the same time, the other side has too many White Zetsu. They can't keep track of my whereabouts because I have space-time ninjutsu, and they just haven't activated so many White Zetsu.

Once activated, White Zetsu will be scattered throughout the ninja world. Unless Tsuchi and Ishi stop emerging and are concentrated in one place for research, they will definitely be found.

Even his own true form might be discovered by then, since Tushi isn't sure if there are White Zetsu scattered around Qingzhi Island...

The fact that there is a Dead Sea in the southeastern sea of ​​the ninja world is definitely not without reason. It may well be a battlefield from when the Sage of Six Paths fought Kaguya a thousand years ago. What if a large number of White Zetsu were left behind?

Of course, the probability of such a thing happening is not high unless the two sides completely break off relations.

But we should still be vigilant about what needs to be guarded against.

After all, although Black Zetsu has lived for thousands of years, he is still a "child". If he gets too excited when he first learns that there is someone who can kill him and actually releases all the White Zetsu, then things will get really bad.

"Sealing part of Black Zetsu's body is already very good. It won't arouse Black Zetsu's suspicion, and I can also use it for research."

"but......"

"Why is Black Zetsu here?"

It's certain that Black Zetsu's surveillance of Nagato had long since faded into the background. Nagato's strength was increasing rapidly; even though he hadn't fully mastered the Rinnegan, his sensory abilities were by no means weak. Coupled with Yahiko's breakthrough and Yun's awakening of the unparalleled "Double Pupils," these factors made it impossible for Black Zetsu to monitor Nagato. Madara could only learn about Nagato's situation by closely monitoring Akatsuki's intelligence.

"Black Zetsu's return to the Land of Rain is most likely not to find Nagato. If that's the case, then his purpose is quite obvious."

Black Zetsu's stealth abilities are the strongest, so it's highly unlikely that the opponent fused into White Zetsu's body to gather information about Nagato.

Otherwise, it should have used its hidden Black Zetsu form.

What is it that Black Zetsu must use White Zetsu's body to accomplish?

......

Never mind, this isn't my task anyway. I'll just let Yun know and then go do whatever I need to do.

Oh, and also, Black Zetsu's body was also transferred to the main body. There might be some connection between the two bodies. If something goes wrong with this body and Black Zetsu senses it, it would be bad. It's better to leave it to the main body.

After numerous enhancements, Kiyoshima's isolation capabilities are arguably the best in the entire ninja world.

the other side.

Black Zetsu escaped from Tu Shi's grasp, but instead of feeling happy, his face turned ashen.

Oh, he's naturally black, then that's fine.

"Why did the earth and rocks suddenly appear? Damn it, this guy has too many tricks up his sleeve. It's one thing to be strong, but he even has a soul-sealing technique."

Black Zetsu had no doubt about the sealing techniques used to deal with souls, even though he had never met him before. After all, the sealing techniques in the ninja world were incredibly powerful, and their priority was practically the highest. Didn't he see his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, still sealed on the moon?

"Phew, thankfully we didn't have the eyes implanted earlier out of caution."

He found another White Zetsu's body to fuse with, and Black Zetsu pulled out a test tube from the body. Inside was a pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes, each with three tomoe, radiating an ominous aura.

This is the foundation of his confidence for this mission, and he can't afford to lose it.

This time, Jue was even more cautious, traveling underground using earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique used in martial arts to escape from the ground) the entire way.

Half a day later, outside Amegakure, Zetsu took out the Sharingan test tube and replaced it with his own.

"This is the power of the Sharingan. Just the three tomoe have already greatly enhanced my abilities. The vision is so clear."

However, things changed after the kaleidoscope. With continued use of the eyes, his vision gradually deteriorated, becoming even worse than that of an average person, eventually leading to complete blindness. The white-haired man's description of his eyes as cursed was quite apt.

Zetsu was not careless. With just three tomoe, his vision became much clearer, but it did not greatly improve his strength. It was not enough to make the steady Zetsu lose his composure.

"This is quite taxing. Fortunately, my White Zetsu body was newly created from Hashirama cells and has plenty of chakra. Otherwise, I might not have been able to withstand such a drain."

Even after acquiring the Sharingan, Zetsu was constantly consuming chakra. This chakra consumption might not be immediately noticeable; it might be less than an E-rank Three Body Technique in a second. But it was continuous. If it was less than a second, then ten seconds, a hundred seconds, or even a day or a hundred days, the chakra consumption alone could kill a person.

There's a reason why there are almost no ninjas in the ninja world who have transplanted the Sharingan.

This is only the passive consumption; once ninjutsu is used, the consumption will probably be even greater.

The thought of using the three-tomoe jewel to cast a genjutsu on Hanzo made Zetsu feel uneasy.

To be honest, in the past thousand years, he has never faced a master of Hanzo's caliber.

Not to mention plotting against the other party.

However, considering Madara's power, Zetsu gained a little more confidence.

Don't let Ban's seemingly foolish appearance fool you; he's actually quite strong.

In fact, Black Zetsu believed that his opponent was stronger than Indra and Ashura themselves. This was someone who had truly grown up in the midst of war and bloodshed from a young age, while Indra, at least before his falling out with his brother, had not experienced much fighting.

Amegakure is far inferior to Konoha, not in terms of high-level combat strength, which is offset by Hanzo's presence. The real difference lies in the lower-level combat strength and the village's foundation.

Its foundation includes sealing techniques.

The village's boundary is naturally included as well.

Zetsu is the kind of guy who can even sneak into Konoha's barrier, so entering Amegakure's barrier is naturally a piece of cake.

Amegakure only has one Kage-level ninja, Hanzo. They should actually have some elite Jonin, but they were killed by Uchiha Kiyoshi during the Second World War, along with many promising talents. In addition, with the addition of Kumo to the Akatsuki organization, they launched a continuous counterattack against Amegakure, killing another batch of them. As a result, Amegakure has not yet recovered, and they only have two elite Jonin left.

Jue easily concealed himself and arrived at the residence of the leader, Hanzo.

Rain Village has no Kage, so naturally there is no place like the Rain Shadow Tower.

"who!"

As a master swordsman, Hanzo possessed remarkably sharp senses, especially at close range.

Hanzo was able to detect that a malicious person had entered his residence.

That's too arrogant! They entered the Rain Village and came to the residence of a demigod like me, carrying such great malice!

Hanzo's aura erupted.

Unfortunately, it was completely useless.

"Sharingan! You're a Konoha ninja! No...!"

Upon seeing the white Zetsu's crimson eyes, Hanzo was shocked. What was Konoha up to?

Danzo is dead, does that mean he doesn't want to honor the previous agreement?! And even if he doesn't want to honor it, what is he trying to do?!

At this point, we certainly can't just sit and wait to die; we must strike first!

Just as Hanzo was about to kill Zetsu, something seemed to be triggered. Zetsu's Sharingan spun rapidly, and a pattern appeared faintly. If you looked closely, you could tell that it was definitely not the shape of a three-tomoe Sharingan.

Even with Hashirama's cells, Zetsu's eyes still bled with blood and tears, and he couldn't help but groan.

"uh-huh!"

Sensing that his eyes were no longer drawing chakra, the weakened Zetsu immediately left the scene, leaving Hanzo with a blank look in his eyes.

After he left.

After a long while, Hanzo's eyes gradually came back to their senses. From initial confusion, he slowly became more determined.

"Someone come here!"

Chapter 280 Speculation

At Hanzo's command, Amegakure made its move.

The Akatsuki were attacked by Amegakure without their knowledge and suffered heavy losses.

"What is Hanzo trying to do?!"

At the Akatsuki Jonin meeting, Blackwater was very dissatisfied with Hanzo's behavior.

Over the years, especially after the arrival of Yahiko, a Kage-level ninja, the Akatsuki's membership has grown rapidly. The number of Jonin is no longer just a handful, but has reached twenty, with three more elite Jonin.

Among these people, Blackwater is considered to be of a relatively high status, after all, he was one of the earliest members to join the Akatsuki organization, and half of the Jonin present had received his instruction.

Yun sat in his seat, lost in thought. "It's clearly illogical for Hanzo to suddenly attack the Akatsuki at this time."

Normally, even if Danzo were dead, if Hanzo wanted to take action against Akatsuki, he should have first pretended to reconcile and then made his move during negotiations. Akatsuki is currently quite powerful; if they were to engage in a direct confrontation, Amegakure would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

What exactly prompted Hanzo to take such a step?

Yun recalled the memories that Tu Shi had shared with him a few days ago, and Jue arrived in the Land of Rain.

He had been paying attention during this time, and his mental perception had been constantly activated, but he hadn't noticed the arrival of Jue at all.

"They've most likely gone to Amegakure..."

What happened next is not hard to imagine.

Zetsu has entered Amegakure. Whether it's through force or illusion, Hanzo's current actions are definitely related to Zetsu.

Why choose such a direct approach?

"The Rain Village's offensive is extremely swift. They captured most of our strongholds in a short time and have now surrounded our headquarters." Since the Akatsuki had a Kage-level leader in charge, the location of their headquarters has been exposed, making it easier for ambitious wandering ninjas to join.

Xiao Nan's summary did give Yun a reminder.

"Swift and powerful".

"Is it because there's not enough time? How could there be a time crunch?"

Then, Yun thought of an old man, and her heart gradually sank.

Ban, shall we make a move?
