Another white Zetsu suddenly appeared, displaying an exaggerated expression as it gesticulated wildly and spoke to Madara.

"Oh, I meant that all the living ones have arrived, and those who couldn't arrive are dead, dead."

The different personalities displayed by different White Zetsu.

Ban and Obito are already immune.

It would be strange if all White Zetsu gave serious reports.

"Let's go, let's take a look at that descendant as well."

A faint look of interest appeared on Madara Uchiha's face.

Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

Even in the hundreds, nearly a thousand years of the Uchiha clan's history, these eyes are only opened by a very few geniuses. Moreover, obtaining these eyes requires not only talent, but also magnanimity, intelligence, and a tremendous spiritual impact.

Itachi Uchiha, a clansman who could awaken his eyes at the age of twelve or thirteen.

Their talent is beyond question.

What Madara Uchiha needs to see clearly now is Itachi Uchiha's character.

After all, they are his descendants.

Ban is still willing to be a little 'lenient' in his treatment.

In a spacious yet dimly lit room in Amegakure, a place where Akatsuki members often gathered, Itachi, Kisame, and Sasori were already familiar with the place, though compared to the number of members in the organization at its peak.

Now we're in this room.

The space felt incredibly empty with only three people present.

“Da da da da”

In silence.

The sound of footsteps that came from there.

Chakra that can be clearly sensed.

Kisame, Sasori, and Itachi all narrowed their eyes slightly, clearly sensing a strange, terrifying, and extremely chilling chakra fluctuation. This caused a change in their state of mind, especially for Itachi, whose Sharingan seemed to activate almost subconsciously.

The three jet-black tomoe reflected in the pupils.

next second.

The moment I saw the person who came.

"!?"

Even with Itachi Uchiha's composure, he couldn't help but change color abruptly, and a look of utter shock could be clearly seen in his pair of scarlet Sharingan eyes.

Kisame and Sasori, who were positioned on one side, had almost identical expressions.

In this era.

No one would fail to recognize the God of Ninjas and the Asura of the Ninja World.

The two giant stone statues in the Valley of the End are the most straightforward declaration to the entire ninja world.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you kidding me? Uchiha Madara?"

Kisame Hoshigaki instinctively hoisted his Samehada sword, looking at Madara Uchiha who stepped out of the shadows with an expression that was hard to describe as excitement, shock, or something else entirely. He stared at Madara with his almost lifeless shark eyes and said...

"Young man, you'd better put your mind at ease. Although I'm in a good mood right now, that doesn't stop me from changing my mind at any time."

Madara Uchiha stepped out.

He glanced at Kisame Hoshigaki with a casual look, his wariness clearly perceptible.

Even if it's just a regular Sharingan with tomoe.

But it was at that very moment that they met.

Kisame felt as if he had been completely seen through, and his breath caught in his throat. An indescribable sense of fear instantly enveloped his heart.

It wasn't intentional.

They wanted to restrain themselves even more.

But at this moment, Kisame's body still trembled slightly, a kind of fear that came from biological instinct.

It was as if Madara could kill him with a single glance.

That might sound a bit exaggerated.

However, given Madara Uchiha's current strength, Kisame would indeed have no chance of lasting more than a few moves against him.

A humanoid tailed beast!?

In Madara's hands, the real tailed beasts were nothing more than playthings.

Sasori, who was on one side, looked at Madara Uchiha with a solemn expression. Sasori had initially thought it was some kind of special technique, but the closer he got, the clearer it became that Madara was 'identified'.

It's not an illusion, it's not puppetry.

It is not some low-class imposter.

He was a real, living person, with the same scarlet and jet-black three-tomoe Sharingan eyes as Itachi Uchiha. That was his true appearance, and most importantly, his aura and the power of his chakra.

Even if you don't want to admit it.

Sasori had to admit that the probability of the person before him being Uchiha Madara was a staggering 99%!

The remaining theoretical impossibility was merely Sasori's own internal resistance, because that was a figure from the Warring States period, a ninja from fifty or sixty years ago, who had long been confirmed to have died at the Valley of the End.

"I never imagined that one day I would witness the ninja world's demon from decades ago. It seems that you were the victor in that battle back then, Lord Madara."

Scorpion looked at Madara Uchiha with a deep expression that was completely at odds with his youthful and handsome face, and slowly spoke.

There is an extremely uncontrollable urge.

That is the desire to dissect Uchiha Madara in front of him, study him thoroughly, and then turn him into a perfect human puppet.

Although it is unclear exactly when Uchiha Madara was born, it is certain that when he founded Konoha, this ninja world demon was already in his prime, more than 60 years after the founding of the Five Great Nations.

By any measure, Madara Uchiha should be over a hundred years old.

It can be seen with the naked eye.

Judging from the outer muscles, the deeper bones and organs, and a series of other visible or perceptible features, this is undoubtedly a young adult full of vitality.

How could a scorpion not feel curious and excited!

The mysteries of the human body!

The secret to immortality!

That is also the highest level that Scorpion pursues.

Even if it costs him everything, Sasori will not stop. In terms of the intensity of his scientific research, Sasori is no less than Orochimaru, only their research directions are completely different.

Of course, I'm only talking about the level of madness.

In terms of precision, scientific research, and research capabilities, Orochimaru is far superior to Sasori. This is why Menma was eager to avoid conflict with Orochimaru. Such a talent could have many opportunities to contribute in the future. However, Sasuke remains an insurmountable hurdle. Menma values ​​Sasuke more at this stage. Therefore, despite Orochimaru's possible anticipation, he provided Sasuke with some necessary assistance.

However, someone like Orochimaru wouldn't die so easily, not to mention that Menma is familiar with the plot and knows to some extent that Orochimaru has backup plans.

If I die for now, so be it. It's no big deal.

Regarding the existence of scorpions.

Madara merely glanced at them indifferently, not bothering to say anything more.

To put it bluntly, none of the three below could pique Madara's interest based solely on their existence and strength. Only Itachi Uchiha, who was also a member of the Uchiha clan and had awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, was someone Madara somewhat valued.

"What happened in the past is irrelevant. I don't care what ambitions you have. But from today onwards, everything in Akatsuki is in my hands. You will obey my orders. The organization's plans and intentions remain the same, only the timing is slightly brought forward. Starting today, we will officially begin the Tailed Beast capture plan. Once Zetsu has determined the locations of all the Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts, we will officially take action. I'm handing over command to you, Obito."

Madara turned to look at Obito beside him and said in a calm tone.

Chapter 492 Itachi's Anxiety and Determination

P.S.: I forgot to upload it yesterday. I'll update one chapter at noon, and another one tonight.

These are words that show no concern about revealing Obito's identity.

The name that was finally pointed out.

Itachi's pupils contracted sharply again, and his gaze almost instinctively turned to the masked man standing beside Madara Uchiha, the man Itachi had previously suspected of having a close relationship with Madara.

Obito Uchiha.

He is the only Uchiha clansman in Konoha who gave away his Sharingan.

It was impossible for Itachi not to know.

After all, that Sharingan was given to Kakashi Hatake, and Obito was the second Uchiha to enter the Hokage lineage successor team after Uchiha Kagami. Itachi really didn't expect that the masked man who caused the Nine-Tails' chaos would be Obito!

The impact of this on Itachi's heart is unimaginable.

Obito wasn't surprised at all when Madara announced his name. Since Madara himself had come forward, it meant that the final battle was about to begin, and whether his identity was exposed or not made no difference.

The last hope for this cruel world.

That is to realize that eternal dream within the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

It is the last vestige of Obito's obsession left in this world.

"Yes, I understand."

Obito nodded indifferently.

"May I ask what your intentions are? The former leader collected the Tailed Beasts to create an ultimate weapon to deter other countries, because he was not strong enough to do that. With your strength, you can make the five great nations and the whole world tremble just by showing your face. The Tailed Beasts are just dispensable to you."

Looking at Madara Uchiha, who seemed about to leave immediately.

Itachi took a deep breath, immediately stepped forward, and stared fearlessly at Madara Uchiha as he asked.

Just like Sasori could be almost 100% certain of Madara's identity.

Itachi, being a member of the Uchiha clan, could be even more certain of this.

Even though Madara didn't awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.
