Isn't this an opportunity bestowed upon me by God?

Although he did not find any trace of Obito Uchiha's actions in the other party's memories, it did not matter.

Therefore, after the brief clash on the eastern border, that guy had already become my defeated foe and was no longer a concern.

........

The Land of Iron

The far northern edge,

Here, the mountains stretch endlessly, ancient trees reach for the sky, and there are also huge, unidentified skeletons stranded at the bottom of the valley, like creatures left behind from a long time ago.

The inhabitants of the Land of Iron call this place the Mountain Graveyard, and few dare to set foot here.

However, Madara Uchiha turned this remote and secluded area into a massive underground base.

Now, it is Obito Uchiha's secret base.

Even Nagato, the apparent leader of the Akatsuki, was probably unaware of the existence of such a secret base.

As for why White Zetsu knew,

That's because this is where he was born!

"Ten thousand White Zetsu, that's quite a feat."

He stood alone atop an ancient tree, the menacing veins at the corner of his right eye a sign of his activated Byakugan, while an invisible circle of [Word Spirit - Guard] isolated him from any trace of his presence.

Beside him were several yokai who were skilled at sensing and had a certain affinity for the forest.

"Wow, so much food!"

"No, no, so many pine cones,"

"No, no, no, there are so many humans!"

"Should I go and bring them over, Lord Ara?"

Komatsumaru sucked on her finger, looking up at the boy beside her, her cute face filled with longing and anticipation.

Just now, this forest had informed her that tens of thousands of humanoid life forms existed in the lower layers of this land.

"After all, this forest is so big, it wouldn't be good to get lost in it."

She licked her lips, searching for the most appropriate excuse using human logic.

At that time, you can simply allocate a tiny, tiny bit of it to yourself as a reward.

Of course, if all of it could be given to oneself,

Then,

That would be enough for her to get through countless winters and achieve food freedom!

The little guy licked his tongue, his anticipation growing even stronger.

"Those things are unhealthy."

"It will give you an upset stomach, don't worry about it."

In response, Ara patted Komatsumaru's head as a sign of refusal.

"whispering sound."

"mean."

The little guy was clearly unhappy with the negative answer, pouting and muttering a complaint.

Even if her hopes are shattered, what can she do?

I'm just a pitiful little squirrel.

Compared to Komatsumaru, who is not yet mature enough, the Human-faced Tree and the sorcerer are much more reliable.

"There are no surveillance personnel nearby, Lord Ara."

Yokai have a strong ability to sense energy, far beyond what humans can match, especially in the areas they are familiar with.

Characters like Komatsumaru and the Human-faced Tree can communicate directly with the vegetation in the forest, and know about changes and important information in the vicinity over a certain period of time.

Such abilities also exist among ninjas, but they are not common.

The most typical examples are Jugo and the Aburame clan. The former can communicate with various small animals, while the latter has made a contract with the insects they raise.

"It's the same for me, esteemed Onmyoji."

"Any insects or animals carrying strange energy have been completely devoured by my little darlings."

"Jie Jie."

The sorcerer responded with a strange laugh.

The toad lantern he held in his hand still emitted a faint glow, like a special lighthouse guiding the Gu worms back.

Guarding against those insects carrying strange energy is naturally also Huang's requirement.

Although he didn't recall any members of the Akatsuki possessing the ability to control insects, it was always good to be safe just in case.

"Hard."

"Then let's go."

The boy gently wrote down the words.

The next instant, a complex array of voices intertwined.

"Yes,"

"Master Huang!"

Upon closer inspection, the surroundings were already shrouded in a hazy, misty fog.

[Secret Technique: Still Water Under a Clear Mirror!]

Obito Uchiha is not in this base located in the northern corner of the Land of Iron. Perhaps he has gone to sea to search for the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, or perhaps the situation in the Land of Rain has been stabilized.

It doesn't matter which possibility it is.

Ara's goal was simply to hunt Kisame Hoshigaki, who was in a severely injured state.

However, upon entering this dark cave, he changed his course. Instead of heading towards the place where Kisame was being treated, he descended along the cave, which resembled an insect nest.

Komatsumaru's gluttonous complaints actually reminded him to do something.

After all, it would be a real waste to let go of the White Zetsu army that is 'dormant' beneath this land.

However, how to utilize it is also a big problem.

Reaching the desolate cliff, he looked down at the endless white monsters below and fell into deep thought.

First of all, it's impossible to destroy them all directly.

There are two reasons:

First, it does not possess a terrifying area-of-effect ninjutsu like [Planetary Devastation].

Secondly, since it is located underground, its strange levitation technique would be enough to allow most White Zetsu to escape should danger arise.

Even if it is destroyed, it will only affect a small portion and will be meaningless to such a huge number of people.

Moreover, there is the risk of exposing one's identity and strength.

Secondly, there's control.

However, the idea of ​​controlling 100,000 White Zetsu with the Mangekyou Sharingan is somewhat of a pipe dream.

For a moment, the helplessness of seeing a treasure trove but being unable to possess it plunged Huang into silence.

Ultimately, it's because he's not strong enough.

However, just as he was about to give up and leave, the will of the Human-Faced Tree resounded in his mind.

"Lord Ara, I can sense the powerful life force within these humanoid creatures."

If I could absorb all of this vitality, it would be of great benefit to me.

Perhaps, even a withered tree can bloom again in spring.

His mind was somewhat agitated and trembling.

This was also the first time Huang had felt that the usually calm and collected Human-Faced Tree could not contain its emotions so much. In the past, the other party would quietly carry out orders.

What do I need to do?

[The maximum is over a thousand; I can't handle any more than that.]

Ara would never refuse a reasonable request from a yokai, even if it meant revealing something.

However, the fact that the power within White Zetsu could make the Human-Faced Tree happy was something he hadn't expected.

After all, when they captured the first White Zetsu clone on the outskirts of Konoha, the clone didn't make any special demands. Perhaps it was because the energy of an individual clone was too shallow, while the sheer number of 100,000 here created a qualitative change.

On another note, these beings in a 'dormant' state were originally the power that Kaguya Otsutsuki prepared for future battles, derived from the Gedo Mazo, which was the original Chakra God Tree.

It's only natural that it could have an effect on a monster like the Human-Faced Tree.

【There's nothing you need to do, Lord Ara.】

Moreover, a number exceeding a thousand is still too few.

What I want is...

【all!】

However, it will take some time.

A surge of passionate thoughts exploded within the desolate sea of ​​consciousness.

Because through the brief exchange just now, he had already understood the will and leniency of his own Onmyoji.

Then,

Next,

Thank you for your hospitality.

"Well, since you have a way, then go for it."
