Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 296 The Restless Black Zetsu

Night had fallen when Chishi arrived at the edge of a small grove of trees.

Sharingan, activate!

It was here before that Akaishi made some discoveries—

While searching this grove, the distribution of some trees and vegetation carried certain psychological implications. For example, some branches were particularly unsuitable for ninjas to step on, and some areas had large, decaying logs that attracted mosquitoes and other insects.

It emitted an unpleasant odor, making one instinctively want to avoid it.

It was through a series of coincidences that Akaishi avoided a certain area.

At first, Akaishi didn't notice it, but after it happened a few times, it reminded him of a "survival on a deserted island" scenario he had experienced—Hongyan had done the same thing, preventing his ungrateful teammates from finding him.

Although the vegetation did not appear to have been artificially altered, and Akaishi did not find any signs of illusion or sealing magic, Akaishi felt that there were too many "coincidences".

"As a member of the Uchiha clan, you don't even dare to use genjutsu, resorting to such petty tricks. It seems you're really no good—are you trying to avoid my attacks?" Akaishi muttered to himself, trying to encourage himself.

"You must be careful, for I have given up." The voice of the King of Hell came one last time.

Afterwards, "King Yama of Hell" will try his best to sleep.

I dare not help!

Although Old Deng should be very weak now, he is, after all, a "Rinnegan", and may have even activated dual-eye mode before.

In this situation, the King of Hell will most likely still retain control over the other side.

The greatest help the King of Hell can offer is to fall into a deep sleep, and then try not to help either side!

It has already made an agreement with Akaishi that it will sleep for three days afterward.

Akaishi walked into the woods and found the same rotten wood and sparsely branched trees he had seen more than an hour earlier.

This time, Akaishi didn't hesitate to examine the area carefully, and the result was that—

"Hmm? There really aren't any signs of trimming." Akaishi frowned.

When did that old man acquire this ability?

Despite her doubts, Akaishi continued searching the surrounding area.

The woods at night seemed especially eerie.

Under the moonlight and in the gentle breeze, amidst the twisting shadows, it seemed as if some hidden gaze was watching Red Stone as he searched the forest.

"Hmm? Should I grit my teeth and continue with this approach? Or should I play hard to get?" Akaishi discovered another tactic of using environmental cues.

Of course, considering that the other party may have discovered the red stone, perhaps it is a reverse application—maybe that the child is hinting in the opposite direction?

Akaishi was also somewhat puzzled at this point.

Is that old man, Deng, hiding something? His methods don't seem like those of the Uchiha.

If it really is that old Deng, then what he doesn't want to be discovered is really that orphan?

That child was so important that even though Madara Uchiha didn't want to be discovered and continued to mislead people with such underhanded tactics, he didn't want to give up on him.

and----

If it was really to prevent the child from being discovered, then why not just take him away?

Since they can still create an air of mystery, they must not be so weak that they can't even travel with a child, right?

Akaashi was filled with doubts.

Then, facing a fork in the road—

Mirror Clone Technique!

Akaishi didn't engage in any psychological warfare; he simply explored both sides together!

In the darkness, Zetsu, half black and half white, stared blankly at Uchiha Akashi with one half of his face expressionless and the other half looking helplessly at him.

That's right, these hints were indeed meant to prevent Akaishi from finding Nagato. However, Akaishi was wrong about one thing: the one who made these hints was not Madara Uchiha, but Black Zetsu!

Previously, with Black Zetsu's assistance, Madara Uchiha finally restored his blind eye and awakened his other Rinnegan, gaining the complete power of the myriad phenomena.

At this point, Akaishi's talent already met the requirements. After awakening his Yang Release chakra transformation, Akaishi's physical attributes had reached the standard.

After all, they were from the same clan as Madara Uchiha. If the "Rinnegan" was transplanted from an Uchiha, the physical requirements would actually be much lower than for an outsider.

It's similar to transplanting a Sharingan from someone of your own clan. Transplanting an eye from someone of your own clan consumes more energy than transplanting your own eye, but it's still much less energy-consuming than transplanting from someone else.

but----

Before Madara Uchiha could make any further moves, Akaishi had already formed a contract with "Prison King"!

Other demons and gods are fine too—

"King Yama of Hell" is an expert in organ transplantation.

Even Madara Uchiha wasn't confident that his transplant wouldn't alert the King of Hell.

Moreover, once the transplant is complete, Madara Uchiha will no longer be able to control "Prison King".

Although Uchiha Akashi's intelligence was lacking, which was an advantage, with the King of Hell present, it was impossible for him not to notice that his eyes had been replaced!

Moreover, with the King of Hell present, Chishi could easily access some secrets—

Once he discovers this and learns those secrets, it will be much harder for Madara Uchiha to trick him into using the "Rinne Rebirth Technique".

.

Madara Uchiha entrusted the Rinnegan to others so that he could be resurrected one day, not because he really wanted to give the eyes away as a gift!

Therefore, as Akaishi grew stronger, Madara Uchiha had no choice but to abandon this candidate.

As Madara Uchiha's body grew increasingly frail and weak, Black Zetsu became increasingly anxious. Fortunately, he then discovered a descendant of Ashura whose bloodline had reverted to its ancestral form—

Although his parents weren't even ninjas, his bloodline, if measured, exceeded 45%, which is almost the limit of "non-Asura chakra reincarnation," meeting the requirement of "non-clan transplanted Rinnegan."

So Black Zetsu guided Madara Uchiha to give him the Rinnegan.

However, the plan has only just reached its most unpredictable and perilous moment—

Whether Ashura's descendants will be successfully guided is still unknown. To avoid letting him discover anything, Madara Uchiha didn't even dare to appear directly in front of him.

and----

Madara Uchiha has also received an epic nerf!

Now, Madara Uchiha has lost both of his eyes, leaving only Izuna's one eye. Not only has he lost the power of the Myriad Manifestations of the Universe, but he also only has one Sharingan, and it's not even the original one. His body has also aged considerably.

Akaishi felt that Old Deng's need to avoid his sharp edge was not arrogance!

Furthermore, Madara Uchiha isn't here right now; he's still being kept alive underground in the Land of Rain.

Black Zetsu was the one who orchestrated the murder of Nagato's parents, awakened the Rinnegan for the first time, and went to great lengths to prevent Nagato from coming into contact with Akaishi.

Seeing that Akaishi had clearly discovered something, and that he would soon find Nagato, who was "alone" surviving in the wild, after searching all the way, Black Zetsu had no more illusions.

"Damn brat—he really is the descendant of a rebellious son—just as despicable as that son—" Black Zetsu cursed inwardly while thinking of a solution—or rather, how to "choose" a method.

"Go out and fight him? That's probably a bit risky—and even if we defeat him, it's highly unlikely we'll survive—"

"Leaving with that despicable descendant of Asura? It'll be difficult to explain later—"

"That damned Uchiha Madara! He's utterly useless! If only I had possessed the power of all things in the universe sooner, I could have directly used this Uchiha Akashi!"

Madara Uchiha had no idea that Black Zetsu was cursing him along with him.

Black Zetsu didn't believe he could easily defeat this descendant of Indra before him.

After all, he was just a "child" created by his mother at the last moment and did not inherit the power of the Otsutsuki clan.

Although they possess abilities such as "concealment" and "escape," their direct combat strength is negligible compared to those two rebellious sons.

Even his current fighting prowess is largely thanks to Madara Uchiha finding him a "White Zetsu with cells transplanted from the reincarnation of Ashura" as a body, which allows him to wield some Wood Release power.

In addition, his methods are unpredictable, which is enough to deal with some ordinary Jonin. However, against Uchiha Akashi, especially Akashi who is already prepared and very vigilant, Black Zetsu is not confident of winning, let alone completely capturing him. If he alerts Akashi, even if he is defeated now, it will bring great changes to the plan.

After all, his plan had a very low margin for error.

He waited a thousand years before someone who met the criteria finally appeared.

Black Zetsu really didn't want to take any risks!

Similarly, using the "Mayfly Technique," Black Zetsu could easily have taken Nagato away.

But if it really comes to that, Black Zetsu will have to be exposed to Nagato, and how to explain his identity will be a problem.

"No—I have to use my brain—"

Black Zetsu immediately rejected the option of resolving the issue by force.

After successfully "fooling" Madara Uchiha, Black Zetsu became somewhat reliant on this approach.

If the goal is to "deceive," then there are two options: either stay here and deceive Uchiha Akaishi into giving up the search for Nagato, or even—turn waste into treasure and try to make him part of the "Resurrection Mother Plan"; or take Nagato away directly and then find a way to deceive him to legitimize your own identity, just like you did with Uchiha Madara.

"An older, but clearly not intelligent, descendant of Indra — and a younger, but whose future intelligence is uncertain —"

Black Zetsu made his choice immediately!

Who knows if Nagato will be smart enough to discover his plans when he grows up?

It's more likely to succeed in fooling the obviously dim-witted Uchiha Akaishi.

Furthermore, in Black Zetsu's view, Uchiha Akashi was not the core figure of the plan. As long as he could be fooled for a while, even if he couldn't be used later, he could simply be eliminated.

Nagato is the core of the future plan, and we must ensure that he follows the plan completely. If he is discovered, the whole plan will be lost. If we kill him, Black Zetsu's plan will also fail!
