I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 107 The Masterminds' Hidden Thoughts, Uchiha Homura's Fan Acquired

What do you want?

Pain asked calmly.

Realizing that the Hundred Faces were simply a matter of having a large number of bloodline limits, but that none of them were a threat, he regarded the Hundred Faces as special beings like Kakuzu and Hidan.

Pain, whose organization is short of members, has decided to recruit all the members.

However, before agreeing to let Hyakko join, Nagato wanted to know his purpose for joining, or rather, his dreams and ambitions.

Bai Mao didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Obito Uchiha next to Pain and feigned confusion, saying, "If it's not Itachi Uchiha, who is this guy with the Sharingan? If my information is correct, there isn't a second Uchiha in your Akatsuki organization."

Pain, the Deva Path, also did not answer, but glanced at Obito Uchiha out of the corner of his eye, wondering whether he would continue to hide his identity or be honest with the Hundred Faces.

"I am... Uchiha Madara."

Obito Uchiha chose to be honest, his deep voice suggesting a dignified face beneath the mask.

"Uchiha Madara?"

Bai Mao raised an eyebrow, then his eyes bulged with veins again as he activated his Byakugan and scrutinized Uchiha Obito.

A few seconds later, he closed his Byakugan, shook his head in disappointment, and said, "This kind of chakra doesn't match the identity of that legend."

Nagato felt the same way, which was one of the reasons he always suspected Obito Uchiha.

"Back then, I fought Hashirama Senju and suffered an incurable injury."

"Oh……"

Bai Mao scoffed, "That's even more suspicious. Given that ninja world demon's personality, he wouldn't even bother answering my question."

Swah——

Upon hearing this, both Nagato and Black Zetsu's eyes flashed.

The former became even more suspicious of Obito Uchiha's identity, while the latter speculated on the age of Hyakko.

Knowing Madara Uchiha's personality, and considering he just mentioned spending decades researching the ultimate technique, this guy is definitely not as young as he looks; he's at least fifty years old.

Believe it or not.

Obito Uchiha realized he had talked too much and immediately stopped arguing.

Bai Mao gave him a way out, saying, "Proving that you are Uchiha Madara is actually very simple."

"As far as I know, the Uchiha clan has a treasure that has been passed down through generations and can only be used by the head of the clan."

"However, that treasure was taken away by Uchiha Madara after he left Konoha."

"Since you are Uchiha Madara, that treasure should be in your possession, right?"

Obito Uchiha breathed a sigh of relief, and from behind his mask he uttered an appreciative voice: "You, a junior, actually know about the Flame Fan; you're quite knowledgeable."

After he finished speaking, space distorted, and a gourd-shaped fan with six red magatama on each side and a chain attached to the end of the handle appeared in Uchiha Obito's hand.

"As expected, it's Uchiha Homura's fan."

Hyakko gazed intently at the Flame Fan and described its abilities and achievements: "Hard yet flexible, it possesses the ability to deflect ninjutsu and transform it into Wind Release nature transformation."

"During the Warring States period, countless people died at the hands of the Uchiha Rebound because they did not know the details of this fan."

Obito Uchiha didn't say much this time.

The reason for taking out this thing was to use the words of the Hundred Faces to make Nagato believe even more that he was Uchiha Madara.

After hearing Hyakko's words, Nagato's initial doubts indeed subsided.

Based on this, it's highly likely that this guy who knows so much is actually Madara Uchiha.

Hyakumao licked his lips and said to Obito Uchiha and Nagato, "I know your plan. Your goal is to collect the nine tailed beasts, seal them in a container, and create a strategic weapon even more powerful than the Nine-Tails."

"I not only possess four bloodline limits, but I am also proficient in the Five Elements Escape Techniques and many secret techniques, as well as forbidden techniques."

"I can work for you for free, but you only need to give me one thing and agree to one condition."

Before Pain could ask, Obito Uchiha spoke up, "You want the Flame Fan?"

"Indeed, I lack a suitable and powerful weapon."

Bai Mao nodded and stated the conclusion in one sentence: "Of the nine tailed beasts, the five great ninja villages occupy most of them. Your actions will inevitably lead to an encirclement and suppression by the five great ninja villages, and the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War is inevitable."

"At that time, I will use a forbidden technique to provide you with a massive number of immortal soldiers. You know Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation technique, right?"

Upon hearing this, Obito and the others' eyes flashed, and they asked, "You can do that too?"

"certainly."

Bai Mao revealed a confident smile and said, "Not only do I know how to do it, but I am also perfecting this forbidden technique. When the time comes, the dead I summon will have at least 70% of their strength in life, or even be infinitely close to their strength in life."

"Okay, here you go with the Flame Fan."

Obito Uchiha tossed the Flame Fan to Hyakko, saying indifferently, "This thing is useless to me. The Uchiha clan is gone, and there are only a handful of people left in the ninja world who can recognize the Flame Fan."

"As expected of the Asura of the Ninja World, he's quite generous."

Bai Mao caught the Flame Fan, quite fond of it, and gave Uchiha Obito a thumbs up.

Goodness, when it's not your own stuff, you don't feel bad giving it away.

I wonder what Madara Uchiha's reaction would be if he saw this.

At that moment, Pain suddenly spoke up: "What is the other condition?"

"The conditions are very simple..."

Bai Mao hung the Flame Fan on his back and said solemnly, "I will do my best for you for free, provided that you, as the leader, are still alive."

"If you, as the leader, die, it means you have failed."

"At that time, I will not only leave your organization, but also take your body with me, merge with your Rinnegan, and become the second Sage of Six Paths."

Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu felt a chill run down their spines, yet they also understood perfectly.

indeed!

If they possessed the ability to fuse bloodline limits, they would absolutely not let the Rinnegan go.

Bai Mao revealing his ambition actually put them at ease.

"Can."

Pain nodded in agreement, showing no anger whatsoever.

In Nagato's eyes, he was an invincible god.

Even if all five Kage attacked together, Pain would not be afraid.

If we can capture the nine tailed beasts, the entire ninja world will submit to the power of the Gedo Mazo.

He cannot possibly fail!

Once the nine tailed beasts are sealed, allowing large and small nations in the ninja world to borrow the power of the Gedo Mazo when facing invasion, thus ushering in a peaceful era of military deterrence, Nagato will destroy the Rinnegan before his death.

No one can have these eyes!

Therefore, he doesn't mind making empty promises to Bai Mao.

"Great, deal done."

Bai Mao raised his hand and showed off the empty ring on his hand, then smiled at Pain and Obito Uchiha, saying, "Well then, please take care of me from now on, leader, and... Mr. Madara."

After saying that, Bai Mao took the Flame Fan and sank into the ground, using the Mayfly Technique to quickly leave Amegakure.

A dozen seconds later, White Zetsu spoke up: "He has already left Amegakure."

"Are you confident you can find out his identity?" Pain asked.

"It's not too difficult. This person is rather arrogant and doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding his identity."

Black Zetsu said in a hoarse voice, "He has a connection with Orochimaru and knows the Impure World Reincarnation technique. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a figure from the Second Shinobi World War, or an old monster from the Warring States period like Kakuzu."

"Moreover, such a forbidden technique could not possibly be possessed by a small ninja village. Even if he developed this forbidden technique, he would still need to have accumulated knowledge about it."

"He must have been a ninja from one of the five great ninja villages, and there's a high probability he was a Konoha ninja."

"Then this task is entrusted to you, Zetsu." Pain nodded and turned to leave.

Obito Uchiha placed his hand on White Zetsu's shoulder and used Kamui to take Black and White Zetsu away.

As soon as they entered the Kamui dimension, White Zetsu teased, "Obito, aren't you afraid Madara will blame you after he's resurrected for giving him Madara's Flame Fan?"

"That guy is worth the investment; he has more potential than Kisame."

Obito Uchiha said calmly, but he never had the idea of ​​reviving Madara Uchiha.

The Eye of the Moon Project can be carried out by him!

"If that guy's Impure World Reincarnation technique can really be perfected, allowing the dead to unleash 70% of their strength before they were born, then it's definitely worth recruiting him," Black Zetsu said in agreement, while also secretly plotting his own scheme.

After finding out the guy's identity, they silently observed him.

If his strength is insufficient to pose a threat, and the plan changes, perhaps we can guide him to find Madara Uchiha's corpse and make him discover more of the White Zetsu clones' abilities, allowing Madara Uchiha to be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Even with only 70% of his former strength, Madara Uchiha was still an invincible figure in the ninja world.

More importantly, Madara Uchiha left cursed seals on both Nagato and Obito Uchiha.

Once he is resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation, he can use the cursed seal to control Nagato, and then possess Nagato's body to use the Rinne Rebirth Technique.

Once Madara Uchiha is resurrected and reclaims the Rinnegan, neither Yagyu of Konoha nor Hashirama Senju will be a match for him.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu was immediately tempted.

Yagyu is scheming, Nagato is scheming, Obito Uchiha is scheming, and Black Zetsu is scheming...

The four people who just finished meeting with the mastermind all have their own ulterior motives.

"Oh? You actually got the Flame Fan?"

Upon receiving the real-time information relayed by Hyakume, Yagyu couldn't help but chuckle, "That is indeed a pleasant surprise."

Yagyu has no use for this thing.

However, for Hyakko, who can reveal his three-tomoe Sharingan, the Flame Fan's enhancement is extremely significant.

Even if Yagyu had not yet awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, Hyakko could still become the nemesis of tailed beasts and jinchūriki with his three-tomoe Sharingan and flame fan.

After all, Uchiha Milkshake could easily deflect Naruto's small Tailed Beast Ball.

If you have the strength, even a large Tailed Beast Ball can be easily deflected.

Yagyu touched his eyes, muttering to himself, "My eye power is increasing rapidly; the Kaleidoscope shouldn't be far off, right?"
