People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Black Zetsu snapped out of his daze, a hint of surprise in his voice, and murmured, 'Has Madara finally repaired the seal...?'

Madara Uchiha emerged from the cave and, after finding Black Zetsu, asked, "Black Zetsu, the power of the Dragon Vein has been sealed. It's time to go to the Akatsuki base in Amegakure."

"Madara, we don't need to go to the Akatsuki base."

Madara Uchiha frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Black Zetsu explained, "Nagato has already evacuated with a portion of the Akatsuki members, while the remaining Akatsuki members have been wiped out by the Allied Shinobi Forces of the Five Great Shinobi Villages and no longer exist."

Madara Uchiha sneered, "Heh, I didn't expect the ninja world to still form a ninja alliance. Useless. I could destroy the ninja alliance in the past, and I can do it now. Let's go, Black Zetsu, it's time to declare war on the ninja world."

"Wait, there's more to the story!"

Madara Uchiha was getting impatient: "What happened now?"

“Ubuyashiki Yosuke has already obtained the power of the Tenseigan and has reached the Six Paths level, just like you, or even stronger. Moreover, there is another Six Paths level being on the moon. If you directly declare war on the Shinobi World, you are very likely to be besieged by two Six Paths level beings.”

Madara Uchiha's face was extremely ugly. In just a short period of time, how could the ninja world suddenly become so unfamiliar?

Chapter 365 Nagato's Recovery

From Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha obtained details of the battle between Yosuke and Toneri Otsutsuki.

Madara Uchiha sensed something was amiss and asked, "My order was for you to be stationed on this deserted island. How do you know so much about what's happening on the moon? You probably don't even know that guy named Toneri Otsutsuki, do you?"

Black Zetsu's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly explained, "When you were repairing the seal, the moon was very close to the earth, so I could see the battle on the moon very clearly. As for why I knew about Otsutsuki Toneri, it was because of the information reported to me by the White Zetsu I sent out."

"Is that so?" Madara Uchiha had a feeling that Black Zetsu was hiding something from him.

Madara Uchiha didn't think much of it, after all, how could his own will deceive him?

"If that's the case, then we need to reconsider. Two beings at the Six Paths level are indeed a bit troublesome."

Madara Uchiha was deep in thought.

Regarding Black Zetsu's claim that Yosuke is now stronger than him, Madara Uchiha, who possesses the Rinnegan, Sage Body, and Dragon Vein power, doesn't think he can be much stronger than him.

However, there is another being at the Six Paths level, who is also Yosuke's companion, so Madara Uchiha needs to think carefully about this.

"Let's not declare war on the entire ninja world for now. So what about Nagato? Have you found his location, Black Zetsu? I want to retrieve Nagato's Rinnegan before capturing the Eight-Tails. His Rinnegan is mine, and it can also summon the Gedo Mazo. I don't want the plan to change at the last minute."

Black Zetsu shook his head and said, "I sent out a large number of White Zetsu to search for Nagato's whereabouts in the ninja world, but as you know, White Zetsu's intelligence is limited, and I also have to stay here, so Nagato's whereabouts are still unknown."

Madara Uchiha's expression turned grave: "Bad news keeps coming one after another. What about the Eight-Tails?"

I know the location of the Eight-Tailed Fox.

Madara Uchiha looked at Black Zetsu, awaiting his answer.

"Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, is currently with the Allied Shinobi Forces. He is surrounded by many shinobi guarding and protecting him. To capture Killer Bee, we need to break through these shinobi."

Madara Uchiha sneered, "They thought I would declare war on them directly, but they seem to have forgotten that I am a ninja, a ninja whose main profession is assassination. Now that I know the location, things will be easier. I will capture the Eight-Tails first and gather all the tailed beasts. As for Nagato, I will find him eventually. He is just a pawn, yet he wants to become the player. How ridiculous."

Black Zetsu was very satisfied with Madara Uchiha's plan.

Although Madara Uchiha acted arrogantly, he was willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have survived for so many years after the final battle at the Valley of the End.

The Land of Rainbows, the base of the Akatsuki organization.

Obito Uchiha found Nagato.

"Nagato, the seal within Madara Uchiha's body has been repaired. Are you ready?"

Nagato looked at Obito with a puzzled expression: "How do you know that Madara Uchiha's seal has been repaired?"

"After all, it was me who did the work. Once the seal is repaired, it will trigger another minor ninjutsu that I set up, which can act as a tracker to provide me with Madara Uchiha's location within his body."

Nagato looked coldly at Obito: "Heh, Uchiha Obito, your scheming is truly profound."

Obito shrugged helplessly: "After all, he and I spent 6 years in another world, so of course we were better prepared."

"My preparations are complete. Before Madara Uchiha summons the Gedo Mazo, I plan to proceed now."

Obito nodded and said, "Then let's begin. After all, there's still someone here who's after your eyes."

Back when Hanzo was in charge of Amegakure, Yahiko was about to die, and everyone else was also going to die at Hanzo's hands. Nagato blocked all of Hanzo's men's attacks and saved Konan, but his legs were hit by Hanzo's Fire Release: Exploding Flame Formation.

As a result, Nagato has basically lost the ability to walk and can only move with the help of machinery.

Konan stood guard beside Nagato, keeping a watchful eye on Obito.

Nagato is not currently on guard against Obito because Obito has had many opportunities to take his Rinnegan, but he has not succeeded. Therefore, Nagato is not worried about Obito taking the Rinnegan now.

Now, Nagato, Obito, and Orochimaru have formed a strange balance.

This balance is the foundation for confronting Madara Uchiha, so no one will break it for the time being.

Nagato formed hand seals: "Summoning Technique! Hell Path? Reincarnation of Yama!"

The King of Hell was summoned directly from Nagato's physical body.

Yama opened his mouth wide and extended a long, purple tongue with arms, which connected with the Outer Path Demon Statue behind Nagato.

Yama continuously drew power from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and fed it back to Nagato.

Nagato's emaciated body began to recover, and her pale skin gradually regained its rosy hue.

Then, a sickening metallic sound rang out.

The mechanical support system on Nagato's lower body began to gradually disintegrate, eventually exploding and scattering in all directions.

Without mechanical assistance, Nagato would have fallen to the ground instantly.

Fortunately, Konan was there and caught Nagato in time.

"Xiao Nan, I'm fine. I just haven't stood up in a long time, so I'm not used to it yet."

Nagato adjusted to her legs and stood up shakily.

After Han, the Five-Tails Jinchuriki of Iwagakure, was captured, the Gedo Mazo contained the power of seven tailed beasts, and Nagato planned to heal his body.

However, one thing after another happened, leaving Nagato no time to heal, and now she finally has time to recover her body.

After Nagato stood up again, Obito said, "Nagato, you should still meet Orochimaru as Pain. Once you've adapted to your body, your strength should improve significantly."

Just as Obito was about to leave, Nagato suddenly stopped him.

"Kisame was in a hurry to find Pain."

Obito asked in confusion, "Kisame is looking for you? What could Kisame want?"

"Kisame's summoning beast learned that Yosuke Ubuyashiki had gone to the moon and obtained the new power, the Tenseigan."

"Ten-Reigan?"

Nagato relayed the information Kisame had given him to Obito.

Upon hearing this, Obito frowned deeply: "It seems that Yosuke Ubuyashiki has truly reached the Six Paths level. Nagato, immediately have Pain tell Kisame not to tell anyone else about this!"

Nagato instantly understood Obito's meaning: "Your plan is to keep it from Orochimaru?"

“That’s right. Although we don’t know how long we can keep it a secret, Ubuyashiki Yosuke is the main force against Uchiha Madara. Moreover, Orochimaru and Ubuyashiki Yosuke have an irreconcilable conflict. If something goes wrong, we can trick Orochimaru into facing Ubuyashiki Yosuke and buy us an opportunity.”

Nagato thought about it and agreed with Obito's plan.

For Obito and Nagato, Orochimaru was a ticking time bomb, and they didn't know when he would explode, but this bomb could also be used to bomb others.

Chapter 366 Black Zetsu's Scheme

Orochimaru, at the Akatsuki base in the Land of Rainbows, was sitting alone in a dark room.

suddenly.

Kabuto appeared in front of Orochimaru.

"Kabuto, how's the collection coming along?"

Kabuto respectfully said, "We've almost collected all the corpses of those powerful figures whose names we know."

"So, what about the Impure World Reincarnation technique I taught you? Have you mastered it?"

"It has been mastered."

“Very good, Kabuto. Within this Akatsuki organization, everyone seems to be on the same page, but they all have different thoughts. Obito and Nagato might be plotting to kick me out.”

"Lord Orochimaru, aren't we in great danger?"

Orochimaru sneered, "Danger? Who in the entire ninja world can kill me right now? Besides, everyone's goal is the same, so it's not time to tear off the mask now. However, when they take action, they will definitely drag me along, so I need an assistant who can help me restrain the others."

"Having mastered the Impure World Reincarnation technique, I can control former powerhouses of the ninja world. If anything unexpected happens, Kabuto, you hide in the shadows and help me hold those guys off."

"Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

...

The ninja world may seem peaceful now, but in reality, a storm is brewing beneath the surface.

Following Black Zetsu's guidance.

Madara Uchiha arrived outside the Village of Blazing Sun and observed the situation.

"Madara, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki is currently in Kagerou Village, and the Five Kage, including Yosuke Ubuyashiki, are also there. It's not a good time to take action."

"I know that to take away the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki quietly, we need to lure them away, but how can we do that, especially how can we lure Ubuyashiki Yosuke away?" Madara Uchiha pondered a method.

However, Black Zetsu, with his extremely high IQ, immediately came up with a solution.

“We can create chaos in their ninja village, forcing them to return to defend. Also, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Killer Bee, is under the care of the Raikage, A. When A and Killer Bee return to Konoha to defend, that will be our opportunity.”

Madara Uchiha considered Black Zetsu's suggestion for a moment: "The five great ninja villages were attacked at the same time, but it is very possible that Yosuke Ubuyashiki will be with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki. After all, we only have the Eight-Tails left to capture. As long as they guard the Eight-Tails, we will be unable to carry out our plan."

Black Zetsu chuckled sinisterly and continued, "Then we'll have to rely on you, Madara, to be the bait. You'll use your Wood Clone to attack Sunagakure in the Land of Wind. Regardless of whether it's actually you or not, Yosuke Ubuyashiki will definitely go to Sunagakure to fight you."

Madara Uchiha nodded in agreement, saying, "In that case, even if Yosuke Ubuyashiki knows that it is my wood clone and wants to get to Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, it will be too late."

“No problem, but the number of White Zetsu might not be enough. After all, we need to attack five ninja villages at the same time. If we want to force the Five Kage to return to defend their own villages, we need to have a certain scale.”

"It's time to take back my Gedo Mazo. Let's leave here for now."

Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu left the Village of Blazing Sun and arrived in the Land of Darkness.

After finding a secluded base, Madara Uchiha formed hand seals and pressed them to the ground.
