Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Chapter 196: The Beginning with Eavesdropping on Kaguya's Thoughts, I, Qing Shui

...

Black Zetsu is quite difficult to make.

Being a good person is difficult, being a filial son is difficult, but being the mastermind behind the scenes who wants to save his mother, protect Obito, and fight against Aokiji is even more difficult...

The world is broken and dilapidated, but only Black Zetsu can patch it up.

Fortunately...

The two stubborn Uchiha, one old and one young, stopped arguing and both understood the meaning behind Black Zetsu's implication.

"—Uchiha Madara, stop making a fuss. You can barely walk a few steps, do you really think you're at your peak?"

"Obito, there's also Uchiha Aokiji who's been beating you since you were kids. You don't think he's easy to deal with, do you?"

The quickest and easiest way to shift internal conflicts outward is to transform them into external conflicts.

Both Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha believed they had a good relationship with Aokiji and understood him well.

Seisui – the embodiment of the Will of Fire of Konoha!

The false Will of Fire proclaims all virtues as illusory as bubbles, yet one can always find a counterpart in this man…

But that's also the problem.

Would Aoshui, who loves Konoha so much, support the extreme Eye of the Moon plan?

before.

Madara Uchiha believed that after experiencing war, Aoisui would suffer the pain of losing loved ones, which would naturally lead him to reflect on the system of the ninja world…

However, considering the booby traps, kunai machine gun flying squads, explosive incendiary bombs, Tobirama No. 1 Amaterasu bombs, Tobirama No. 2 poison gas bombs, the pot poison technique detonated with enemy corpses, and the steam explosion...

This child is the type who brings suffering to others, while living a perfectly good life himself.

If Madara Uchiha were to adopt Aoshimizu's perspective, he couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache.

Just like when he led the Uchiha clan to conquer territories and was riding high during the Warring States period, if someone mentioned the Infinite Tsukuyomi to him at that time, Madara Uchiha would be lucky if he didn't use Susanoo to slash that guy...

A profound awakening is driven by inner suffering.

For example, Madara Uchiha lost his beloved younger brother, was betrayed by Hashirama, and was ostracized by the village he built with his own hands…

Qingshui had never experienced any of these things.

On the contrary, he found love in Konoha. With his shining Will of Fire, how could he easily change his mind and join the Eye of the Moon Project?

Moreover, there is also a very troublesome Tobirama Senju inside Aozumi's body.

Madara Uchiha fell silent, pondering a question—if he and Aokiji had to fight, who would win?

Obito Uchiha, sitting opposite Black Zetsu, glanced at the strangely shaped pitcher plant while listening to Black Zetsu's words, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind.

He sensed a hint of familiarity in the tone of voice.

His volatile temper inexplicably calmed down. Obito Uchiha, keeping a watchful eye, began to think, just like Madara Uchiha…

Will Qingshui join the Eye of the Moon Project?

With so many people in Konoha who love Aoshui, and Aoshui himself so devoted to the village, it's simply impossible for him to give up everything he has...

This is similar to how, before Rin Uchiha died, if someone had talked to Obito Uchiha about the Eye of the Moon Plan, he would have just thought that person was a fool.

If Obito Uchiha were to kill someone else for the Eye of the Moon, or plot to corrupt someone...

He felt no emotion whatsoever.

Everyone in this world is guilty, no one is an exception. This ninja world, which always breeds war, is fundamentally flawed from the very beginning!

So, he simply sent those who tried to stop him to paradise ahead of time; those who were killed should thank him...

This is helping to atone for sins!

However, this logic cannot be applied to Qing Shui. When Obito Uchiha recalled what Qing Shui had done for him and Rin, he was caught in a great inner struggle...

When he was at his poorest, Qingshui generously gave him a large sum of money, allowing him to take Lin on a trip...

She even gave him advice on how to get along with Rin Uchiha and took him to buy flowers for the girl he loved.

The most heartbreaking lines in the diary...

Nanhechuan, Tanchejie, and many other places that Lin and I visited together, as well as their cozy little home—all these beautiful things are gifts from Qingshui.

On one hand, he is the only friend she still cares about.

On one hand, it was the last wish of her loved one before her death.

What should we do?

Obito Uchiha would never abandon Rin's pursuit of peace...

But the thought of actually fighting Qing Shui made Obito Uchiha very agitated.

He didn't want things to escalate to this point, but he also had a vague worry that even if Lin awakened her dual divine powers, it might not be effective against Qing Shui...

Although Aokiji didn't possess the Rinnegan like Madara Uchiha, Obito Uchiha subconsciously felt that even with Kamui's immense power, he still couldn't defeat Aokiji...

Even though Obito Uchiha hadn't seen Aokiji fight since leaving the Ninja Academy, he always had this inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if it were a suppression of his bloodline.

Even now, when Obito Uchiha recalls Qing Shui's Sharingan and imagines meeting his gaze with his own Kamui Mangekyou Sharingan, he doesn't feel entirely confident.

Black Zetsu breathed a slight sigh of relief as he looked at the two people who had fallen silent.

fine…

These two still retained a shred of reason.

But what made Black Zetsu somewhat unhappy was...

Having experienced the death of Rin Uchiha, Obito Uchiha dared to fight even Madara Uchiha, who had regained some of his youth, was surrounded by a strong negative aura, and possessed the Rinnegan. So why did he suddenly calm down as if he had been doused with cold water after just a hint to Aoshizu?

This is not good!

Black Zetsu remembered this grudge.

Of course, Black Zetsu knew that its thinking was somewhat unreasonable, but it still felt very guilty.

Black Zetsu, who always operates with rationality, was unconsciously influenced by emotions...

Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha exchanged glances, and both of them simultaneously let out a cold snort.

"Kid, you've got good eyes. Let's talk."

"Old man, I didn't expect you to still be hanging on. Let's talk."

The two extremes of the Uchiha clan, one old and one young, temporarily halted their fighting because of Qing Shui.

Madara Uchiha carried the unconscious Nagato toward the cave.

Black Zetsu followed closely behind, his heart suddenly trembling.

For some reason, it had a feeling that Qing Shui might be watching this scene right now...

But is it really possible?

Uchiha Aokiji doesn't have thousands of White Zetsu under his command, so how could he possibly monitor every corner of the ninja world?

Moreover, before Black Zetsu arrived here, it had already used the Mayfly Technique to search for enemies in the underground void countless times. It did not believe that Qing Shui could still track its figure!

Black Zetsu still wanted to look back.

But a voice inside it said, "If you look back, it means you've already lost the confidence to defeat Qingshui..."

"You are the strongest mastermind in the ninja world, the savior who saved Kaguya's mother, Obito, and the ninja world. What kind of behavior is this, being so suspicious!"

Black Zetsu hesitated for a moment, then slowed his pace.

Qing Shui noticed this scene, and his figure slowly emerged from his invisible state, watching Black Zetsu's actions with a smile.

Black Zetsu eventually turned back.

now.

A flash of red light appeared in Qing Shui's Sharingan eyes, and a very obvious crimson light appeared in the shadows of the forest!

Black Zetsu turned around and saw that streak of blood, and his heart instantly turned ice-cold!

But when it looked closely, it found nothing, as if what it had just seen was an illusion.

Was it just its imagination, or was Uchiha Aokiji really monitoring things from there?

I can't tell the difference between Black Zetsu and Black Zetsu, I really can't...

Was it due to excessive pressure and anxiety causing it to hallucinate, or had Uchiha Aokiji already gotten here and was monitoring its every move?

Black Zetsu's heart sank to the bottom, but the arguing coming from the cave prevented it from stopping.

It really can't let go of Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha at all!

Black Zetsu hurried over, exhausted. The only thing that kept him going was the warmth he had once felt from saving Kaguya's mother and Obito Uchiha...

At this moment, Black Zetsu deeply missed the days before Obito Uchiha turned to the dark side...

Back then, Black Zetsu always had someone who could listen to its inner turmoil, someone who would listen with a smile no matter what it said…

For now, it can only bear all the pressure alone.

[From the lane target Black Zetsu: You have gained a special talent - Lonely Soulmate]

[A Lonely Soulmate]: You can target a specific person and, based on the level of intimacy and trust you have with that person, gradually perceive their emotions and even eavesdrop on their innermost thoughts.

Qingshui blinked; its younger brother was truly an inexhaustible treasure.

This talent evolved from Black Zetsu accompanying Ashura and the reincarnations of Indra for a thousand years.

If Kaguya is locked in, wouldn't it become something like—"I, Uchiha Aokiji, imprison Empress Kaguya at the start and eavesdrop on her thoughts"...

"Jue, keep up the good work! Your brother's here, watching you..."

Qing Shui's figure lurked underground, temporarily departing.

Actually, Black Zetsu was overthinking things. Even though Aozuki had many ways to conceal his aura and incorporated various essential secret techniques from the ninja world, he would still have weaknesses in the face of absolute power, namely Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.

This isn't a matter of whether the ninjutsu is exquisite or not, but rather a difference in rank.
