Born with a great love for the Uchiha

He even believed that the White Zetsu—and every single one of them—were Hashirama Senju's illegitimate children!

In particular, Orochimaru conducted an extremely complete and in-depth analysis of White Zetsu cells.

how to say……

Leukocytes are practically miniature versions of interstitial cells!

Orochimaru even suspected that the White Zetsu might be biological weapons created using Hashirama cells!

Otherwise...

Why are White Zetsu so well suited to Hashirama Senju's power?

"That's because Madara Uchiha really did infiltrate Hashirama cells into White Zetsu's body!"

Black Jue muttered to himself.

The "White Zetsu" are actually humanoid puppets created by Mother using the Infinite Tsukuyomi a thousand years ago; their true form is a human from a thousand years ago.

However, after being passively "cultivated" by the Divine Tree (mainly the Gedo Mazo) for thousands of years, these humans have become the White Zetsu.

This can be considered the "first generation of White Zetsu".

Several decades ago.

Before his death, Madara Uchiha fused the chakra of Indra and Ashura, resonating with and drawing upon the power of the Sage of Six Paths.

He successfully awakened the Rinnegan and summoned the Gedo Mazo, also "summoning" the White Zetsu from a thousand years ago.

Perhaps in Madara Uchiha's view...

The so-called "White Zetsu" is a humanoid puppet he created by using the power of the Gedo Mazo and combining it with Hashirama Senju's cells.

But in reality, the White Zetsu had already existed for a thousand years before Madara Uchiha "created" them!

But I'd rather not say it.

After fusing with Hashirama cells, the White Zetsu's performance was indeed stronger than that of the "First Generation White Zetsu" from thousands of years ago.

Let's just call him a "second-generation White Zetsu"...

The living White Zetsu that Black Zetsu previously delivered to Orochimaru were all these "Second Generation White Zetsu".

"White Zetsu can imitate and copy the chakra of other ninjas, and even Wood Release is no exception."

Black Zetsu briefly introduced White Zetsu's abilities, then emphasized the key points.

"Orochimaru, I gave you the White Zetsu so you could use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, not so you could study its body!"

"The forbidden techniques developed by the Second Hokage are not so easy to master completely."

Orochimaru answered casually.

His attitude seemed like he was just stalling Black Zetsu.

In reality... it was indeed just an excuse to fob off this inhuman creature.

Before the live White Zetsu were sent over.

Orochimaru is about to be controlled by Black Zetsu.

After the live white juveniles were placed on the test bench.

Orochimaru is going to be controlled by Black Zetsu again?

Then all those White Zetsu would have come for nothing!

Black Zetsu felt he had been tricked by Orochimaru, but he had no proof.

Orochimaru's snake-like eyes swept over Black Zetsu.

Perhaps out of concern that the other party still possessed an unknown number of White Zetsu, he came up with another plausible reason.

"Furthermore, my research into White Zetsu's body is also in preparation for the [Impure World Reincarnation Technique] later."

Black Zetsu's dark face showed little emotion, but the brows on the other half of his white face (White Zetsu's half of his face) furrowed.

"Orochimaru, is this just an excuse you're making up?"

"Excuse?"

Orochimaru snorted coldly, showing no shame or anger at being exposed. Instead, he retorted to Black Zetsu with a sense of righteous indignation.

"Have you even learned the Impure World Reincarnation Technique? Don't just assume things like that!"

Black Zetsu had nothing to say.

It has indeed not learned the [Impure World Reincarnation Technique].

Madara Uchiha secretly learned this forbidden technique and even mastered the unsealing hand seals for the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

But all of this has absolutely nothing to do with Black Zetsu.

Facing Orochimaru's explanation.

Black Zetsu could only listen patiently.

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique created by the Second Hokage is indeed very powerful, but this forbidden technique also has weaknesses."

Orochimaru's gaze shifted to the White Zetsu corpse on the experimental table, and then swept over the few spare White Zetsu in the corner of the laboratory.

"That is the ninja summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. His appearance is basically the same as his appearance before his death."

"To give you a simple example, you'll probably understand."

"If my dear teacher were to die now, I would summon him back using the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."

"Then what is summoned is definitely not the ninja doctor who once dominated the battlefield, but a pitiful old man who is old and frail and whose position as Hokage has been taken by someone else."

The Impure World Reincarnation Technique has this weakness?

Black Zetsu sensed something was wrong.

Its collaboration with Orochimaru was primarily aimed at getting Orochimaru to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon the already deceased Madara Uchiha, and then using Madara Uchiha to complete the true "Eye of the Moon Plan".

But what if the Madara Uchiha resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation technique isn't the Madara Uchiha in his prime, but rather the "Old Age Madara"...

What good is that?

What is the condition of age spots?

His Rinnegan was removed early on, and his physical condition was nearing its end.

If it weren't for the Gedo Mazo continuously supplying chakra...

The age spots have long since died in the mountain cemetery!

If Orochimaru's resurrected form had age spots...

Black absolutely did not believe that the other party had any chance of completing the "Eye of the Moon Project".

"Then... what does this have to do with White Zetsu?"

"White Zetsu is a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation Technique. The state of an Impure World ninja is naturally related to White Zetsu."

Orochimaru answered matter-of-factly.

"Once I thoroughly study the secrets of White Zetsu's cells, and then make targeted adjustments and modifications to White Zetsu, I can transform it into the most perfect sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation Technique."

"At that time, the target ninja summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation Technique will not be in his state before death, but in his peak state!"

In other words...

Is it possible for Madara Uchiha in his prime to be "resurrected"?

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, being the client, Black Zetsu still urged him on.

"Anyway, let's speed things up a bit, Orochimaru!"

Black Zetsu mentioned the message it had just received.

"In Konoha, Uchiha Gen has already publicly executed Uchiha Obito."

"Our Akatsuki organization doesn't have much fighting power left."

By the way.

The source of the information that Black Zetsu received was not Konoha Village.

Faced with Uchiha Gen's "check-in" style [Skynet] + [Magnetic Release] sensory network.

Once Black Zetsu gets close to Konoha, even if it doesn't officially enter the village, it will be immediately detected by Gen Uchiha.

Therefore, Black Zetsu had to abandon his intelligence gathering efforts against Konoha.

The information that "Obito Uchiha was publicly executed" did not come from Konoha, but from Kirigakure.

Kirigakure was once deeply ravaged by Obito Uchiha.

After Obito Uchiha was publicly executed by the Fifth Hokage, Kirigakure, which had a good relationship with Konoha, quickly received the news.

However, it is ultimately "second-hand information".

Black Zetsu only just learned of this information.

"Obito-kun is dead? That's such a shame..."

Orochimaru's expression of regret at this moment was absolutely genuine, without the slightest hint of falsehood.

"He's the first person I know who has combined the powers of the Senju and Uchiha clans!"

Logically speaking...

Danzo Shimura also combined the powers of the Senju and Uchiha clans, possessing Hashirama cells and the Sharingan in one hand.

But in the eyes of Orochimaru, this mad biologist.

Danzo Shimura can only be considered a half-finished product at best.

What makes that "Ninja of Darkness" worthy of being compared to the "Masked Man"?

Look at Obito Uchiha!

He possesses half of White Zetsu cells, has awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, and also masters unpredictable space-time ninjutsu.

This is the perfect example of the fusion of the Senju and Uchiha powers!
