The correct way for the Uchiha to rise

After all, they all possess the third stage of the Konoha-style Health Cultivation Technique, which can be classified as a forbidden technique, far surpassing other villages.

Even the Hidden Cloud Village only achieved the forbidden technique level effect by combining the Body Cultivation Technique and the Lightning Release Secret Technique. The Hidden Leaf Village, on the other hand, reached this level entirely by developing the Body Cultivation Technique. It is obvious at a glance which one is superior.

With the Konoha army fully assembled and the other villages having completed their preparations, and after the Kage of the five villages confirmed their identities, tens of thousands of ninja from the five great ninja villages set off from all over the ninja world, heading towards the Land of Rain.

On the Cloud Village side, which was on the border of the Land of Fire, under the supervision of the Konoha army led by Jiraiya, they did not do anything out of line in the territory of the Land of Fire.

Kirigakure joined forces with Konoha's army led by Orochimaru, and together they headed to the Land of Rain.

It is worth mentioning that among the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure has the smallest army.

In order to retain enough strength to resist the Sage Organization, and because it was poor and had a smaller number of ninjas, Sunagakure could only mobilize a much smaller army than other ninja villages.

The other ninja villages couldn't say anything about it.

Besides the five great ninja villages, other ninja villages in the ninja world also responded to the call to varying degrees.

The army of Takigakure, which was attacked by Akatsuki and had the Seven-Tails captured, was temporarily led by Konoha and accompanied by Tsunade's main army.

The army is closing in, and war is imminent.

This is also the first time in the history of the ninja world that there has been such a large-scale war.

This was the most widespread event in terms of impact, and also the one in which one side deployed the largest number of coalition forces.

A war launched by the united forces of the five great ninja villages!

It has to be said, the Land of Rain is truly magical.

It was the one that started World War II, and it was not satisfied with the status quo. It wanted more land, more resources, and greater say in the world.

The Fourth World War also originated from an organization within this country.

For a country to achieve this level of success is a pinnacle in itself.

......

In the Land of Rain, north of Amegakure, in a hidden mountain cave.

A half-black, half-white figure emerged from the ground, its shoulders resembling open pitcher plants—it was Jue.

Black energy surged from his body, separating from his internal structure. The half-black, half-white entity instantly transformed into a pure white Zetsu and a pool of pitch-black liquid.

Black liquid emerged from the surface, revealing two eyes—an extremely eerie sight.

"Hmph, that idiot Nagato, he wasted so much time, but it's not too late now."

It's understandable that Nagato postponed the event by a full year for the sake of his health.

However, for Black Zetsu, it is superfluous.

After all, Nagato himself was not his trump card; in fact, Nagato was merely a tool, a tool to revive his trump card.

For beings like that, as long as they don't die before the battle, isn't that enough?

Unfortunately, his role in Akatsuki was merely that of an intelligence operative; his strength was not outstanding, and he was completely unrelated to Obito. He couldn't just approach Nagato and urge him on without a reason.

As for Obito, although he had approached Nagato several times, it seemed to have been of no use whatsoever.

Black Zetsu was furious.

What kind of thing did Ban find?

The Nine-Tails' rampage persists, persuasion of Nagato is ineffective, and the Five Kage Summit has been ruined...

He's good at nothing.

That means the opponent has activated the Kaleidoscope, and it's a powerful space-time type eye technique.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore.

Thinking about how he had felt his mother's calls recently, Black Zetsu's eyes gradually welled up with tears.

"Mother, it will be soon. We will finally be reunited."

I touched my eye socket. Okay, I don't have a hand.

Large, black tears fell onto the pitch-black body and merged back into it.

Turning his gaze, Black Zetsu's eyes fell on the equipment inside the cave.

This cave was filled with various scientific instruments. Among them, a huge glass container, as tall as two people, was the most eye-catching. Inside the green liquid, a strong body emerged.

Strangely, on the chest, near the heart, there were mask-like patterns that formed a bizarre design—a human head! Yellow skin, with a protruding white head at the heart; it looked utterly eerie.

Fortunately, the body remained completely still, without breathing or heartbeat, only maintaining its vitality through nutrient solution, awaiting its true owner's takeover.

Even a mindless "corpse" exudes a strange domineering aura, giving people an invisible pressure.

If any ninja in the ninja world who knew this person saw this, they would probably be terrified.

However, Black Zetsu, who had been plotting for many years, modifying the Sage of Six Paths' stone tablet, guiding the opponent to awaken the Rinnegan, and carrying out the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, etc., and manipulating the opponent at will, did not have this feeling.

He looked at the figure and felt a sense of familiarity.

This was his hope of rescuing his mother!

"Heh heh heh, Nagato never would have guessed that his Rinnegan was left with someone else to be fostered, did he?"

"However, the Uzumaki clan is incredibly resilient. If it were anyone else, they would probably be completely drained just from awakening their Rinnegan. Nagato not only awakened his Rinnegan, but he also nurtured it for over a decade."

Such vitality would be considered genius-level even within the Uzumaki clan, right? With normal growth, he would probably be a formidable force.

Pshaw, what does all this have to do with Black Zetsu?

As for whether he ever regretted ruining Nagato's life, manipulating the world, and launching a war that swept across the ninja world, Black Zetsu scoffed.

I, Black Zetsu, am a filial son!

To save his mother, he would do anything!

Chapter 451 Class Seven

"Spiritual communication!"

He bit his finger, slammed his right hand on the ground, and immediately a cloud of smoke filled the air.

"Parker!"

A slightly chubby little dog emerged from the smoke, with large eyes, black eyelids, and large black spots covering its mouth and nose. Its large black ears drooped limply on either side.

Kakashi placed a strip of cloth in front of Puck and let him sniff it.

"Did you remember?"

Parker nodded.

After confirming that Pakkun had memorized the other's aura, Kakashi led Pakkun towards the Land of Rain.

Recently, the Land of Rain has been unusually dry for several days in a row. The continuous dark clouds have shrouded the entire Land of Rain, making people feel extremely depressed.

However, this did give Kakashi a lot of convenience.

The rain would wash away the smell, and without rain, his task would be much easier.

With Parker by his side, they traveled through the Land of Rain, searching for clues about the masked man.

The Akatsuki ninjas had already retreated, and with Kakashi's infiltration skills inherited from White Fang, their whereabouts remained undetected.

"and many more!"

Pakkun, who was resting on Kakashi's shoulder, suddenly called for a stop. Kakashi also stopped and turned to look at him.

Parker sniffed and pointed to the right.

"I can still smell the other person's presence here; it's not faint."

Jumping off Kakashi's shoulder, Puck followed the scent, leading Kakashi towards its source.

"It's gone!"

That's it?

The man and the dog stared at each other, and fell silent for a moment.

Kakashi, true to his exceptional intelligence, quickly deduced the cause and effect.

"Parker, can you be sure how long ago this smell was left here?"

Tilting his head, Parker hesitantly gave a range. "About a few hours ago."

This was good news, and Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't just a few days ago that it got better.

They continued their search with Parker in tow.

Along the way, Kakashi repeatedly found traces of the places where the masked man had stayed and discovered the details within them.

Based on the timeline, Kakashi gradually figured out the masked man's route.

This road leads to...

"The Land of Wind!"

"Moreover, it seems to be shaking off someone's pursuit."

"Parker, keep up!"

Kakashi's mind worked quickly; he knew that the other party's trip to the Land of Wind definitely had nothing to do with Sunagakure.

More likely, their target is the Immortal Organization.

A spy for the Immortal Organization? Or perhaps an enemy?

Kakashi was also pondering the masked man's purpose in going to the Land of Wind.

"They are most likely spies. Their movements along the way indicate that they are indeed hiding from someone."

These inferences are actually sufficient.

The masked man might be a spy sent by the Sage Organization to infiltrate the Akatsuki Organization!

However, Kakashi wanted to investigate further.

This is the most basic quality of a ninja.
