In the Land of Rain, in a secret base.

Black Zetsu looked at Obito, who was sitting there with his eyes closed, seemingly unconcerned about being exposed, and felt a surge of anger.

In fact, the Nine-Tails Night incident almost backfired; they gained nothing but killed a bunch of Konoha people.

While Konoha doesn't have the upper hand against Kumogakure, it's not as favorable as Obito described.

If we had just stayed put and waited for the Akatsuki members to be recruited before taking action, we would have been completely safe!

It just goes to show that young people are still too young.

In comparison, although Nagato was deceived by Obito, his actions were much more organized.

Knowing that they were gathering strength to take revenge on Hanzo the Salamander, and then secretly taking control of Amegakure.

"I told you long ago, don't do anything unnecessary! Obito!"

Upon hearing this, Obito reacted as if a feline had been touched on a sensitive spot, immediately becoming agitated.

The crimson Sharingan spun in his eye sockets, revealing his windmill-shaped Mangekyou Sharingan:

"Black Zetsu, you have no right to lecture me! And besides, I am Uchiha Madara!"

Black Zetsu, despite being rebuffed, was not angry; he possessed a thousand years of self-restraint.

As long as Obito still wants to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a world with Rin, things haven't gone off track.

Thinking of this, he slowly sank into the ground. He wanted to see how Nagato's preparations were going and also take a look at his mother's outer shell.

Now that we can't see the real thing, we can only look at the outer shell for some consolation.

……

The Land of Rain, inside the Akatsuki organization's base.

Nagato and Konan were staring at each other, wide-eyed.

"Even the Rinnegan can no longer summon the Gedo Mazo, Nagato?"

Nagato's face was grim, his eerie, circling eyes filled with rage: "It must have been Madara who did it!"

Just now.

Konan originally came to the cave where the Gedo Mazo was hidden to do a routine cleaning, but then she saw the Gedo Mazo suddenly disappear.

He initially thought that Nagato had encountered danger and summoned the Gedo Mazo, so he rushed to the Akatsuki base.

Seeing that Nagato was unharmed and was instead controlling Pain to assemble various weapons of the Asura Path, Konan breathed a sigh of relief and then inquired about the Gedo Mazo.

Upon hearing this, Nagato was greatly puzzled and sent the Animal Path to the cave to re-enact the Outer Path Demon Statue.

Logically, the Gedo Mazo should be bound to its own Rinnegan.

however……

This time, when I tried to summon the demon statue of the heretic, there was no response.

No, where is my enormous Gedo Mazo?

Just as the two were anxiously staring at each other, Black Zetsu's body emerged from the ground.

Having the Rinnegan, he could also see the flow of chakra. In addition, the Uzumaki clan's sensory abilities were not bad. Almost the moment Black Zetsu appeared, Nagato discovered him.

As soon as Black Zetsu appeared, several black rods landed around him.

"Black Zetsu, where did you and Madara hide the Gedo Statue?"

Black Zetsu's face darkened upon hearing this. He knew that humans sometimes liked to accuse others first when they were in a hurry, but this was the first time that he had been accused!

Hei Jue was just in a bad mood and wanted to see his mother's shell, but when he arrived there was nothing there.

Good grief, he went out and watched Obito mess around, and then his horse was gone.

He was even falsely accused of hiding his mother's true identity by being a black-clad villain.

That's too much shrimp head!

"Nagato, what good do you get from playing these tricks? Aren't our goals all about collecting the Tailed Beasts?"

Black Zetsu was genuinely angry. He could be indifferent to everything, even the loss of his Rinnegan, but he couldn't lose his mother's shell!

Nagato was also surprised that Black Zetsu could retort. He had always thought that Black Zetsu and Madara were in cahoots, and although they were in the same organization, there was no trust between them at all!

Myriad phenomena guide the heavens.

Suddenly, a tremendous gravitational force struck.

Black Zetsu realized that he had no fighting power at all and was no match for Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan. He immediately shrank back and burrowed into the ground to escape.

Watching Black Zetsu easily escape from his ninjutsu, Nagato's face was ashen, clearly having just witnessed how troublesome Black Zetsu was.

"Nagato, what do we do?" Konan asked, frowning.

Without a doubt, the Akatsuki organization, which was not a very stable family, has completely fallen apart today.

"The Gedo Mazo must be in Madara's hands. We need to start the Tailed Beast Hunting Plan ahead of schedule!" Nagato said in a deep voice.

He originally planned to recruit teammates, raise funds, and then start the plan, but the loss of the Gedo Mazo forced him to start the plan ahead of schedule to ensure that his side could obtain a few tailed beasts.

"But……"

"No buts, Konan! The Gedo Mazo must be in Madara's hands. We need to capture a few tailed beasts first, so we'll have leverage to negotiate with them! The Rinnegan is still mine."

"Nagato, I'm afraid they'll attack you!" Konan said with some concern.

"It's alright, the Rinnegan is invincible! Konan, go and recruit Sasori of the Red Sand. The intelligence says he's appeared in the Land of Wind area, and we need his power to capture the Tailed Beasts."

"Yes!" Xiao Nan did not object further.

Konan knew that Nagato was a stubborn person, and no amount of persuasion would work.

……

Konoha Village.

Orochimaru was unaware that the Akatsuki organization was on the verge of splitting apart because he had extracted the Gedo Mazo.

He is currently enjoying the legendary Ichiraku Ramen.

This thing would definitely be number one on the list of must-eat items when traveling through Naruto.

However, perhaps his expectations were too high, Orochimaru felt that the ramen was not as delicious as he had imagined.

But it's still acceptable.

Just then.

A red-haired woman walked into the shop, accompanied by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with white hair wearing a mask.

Orochimaru naturally noticed the other party.

The other side was Kushina and Kakashi.

Upon seeing Orochimaru, Kushina immediately came up to greet him.

Orochimaru responded to Kushina, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries before talking about Kakashi.

Kushina has a very outgoing personality, so naturally she didn't shy away from Kakashi:

"Minato is really something, just telling Kakashi that Obito is still alive like that, making Kakashi so distracted all the time."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

"What do you mean by saying Obito is still alive and you're constantly distracted? Does Obito have some kind of succubus constitution?"

However, Kakashi naturally couldn't say these words, so he just silently slurped his noodles.

Orochimaru was actually quite curious about how Kushina viewed Obito now, after all, he was the murderer who almost killed her son.

Naturally, Orochimaru also asked the question.

Upon hearing this, Kushina thought for a moment and said, "I'm definitely going to give him a good beating after I catch him!"

Orochimaru was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. Was it really just a beating that was the end of it?

It can only be said that he was taught by the Third Hokage; no matter how rebellious he is, he is still too kind at heart.

Orochimaru didn't dwell on this issue; as long as it didn't affect his life, he didn't care what others did.

He immediately stopped dwelling on Kushina's situation and turned to look at Kakashi:

"Kakashi, you must be very interested in gathering information about Obito, right?"
