Uchiha Akaishi Tour

Chapter 299 Turning Against Each Other

"How can you still not understand? I am the leader bestowed upon the Ninja Sect by Heaven. If Ancestor Indra knew, he would surely agree with your choice!"

Seeing that Kuroze was hesitating, Akaishi couldn't help but scold him.

Black Zetsu: ————

"My choice is to resurrect Father," Black Zetsu said helplessly. "I didn't say I would choose anything else!"

"Once I possess the power of all things, rescuing my ancestor Indra will be a piece of cake!" Akashi said quite reasonably.

Black Zetsu: ————

For a moment, Black Zetsu was genuinely tempted—if this easily fooled Uchiha truly possessed the power of all things in the universe, perhaps he could trick him into carrying out the later part of the plan.

But it was only "a moment"!

Black Zetsu knew very well that he couldn't do it—because only the chakra of Indra and Ashura could combine to create the power of all things in the universe, so Akaishi, who was not a reincarnation of Indra's chakra, did not meet the requirements at all.

Even if you forcibly obtain two types of chakra from him, Akaishi cannot use them; this amount of Uchiha bloodline is simply not enough!

After all, over the past thousand years, Black Zetsu has made various other attempts during the gaps between the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura's chakra.

As for directly transplanting the "Rinnegan" —

Akaishi's physique and bloodline are sufficient to sustain and utilize her, but her non-original Rinnegan, even if she could barely control the Ten-Tails, would be useless as a vessel for her mother's resurrection.

"Alright—I understand what you mean." Black Zetsu said as he slowly closed the "leaves" on both sides of his body.

"Hmm? What do you want to do!" Akashi immediately noticed and waved the Uchiha fan in his hand.

Several wind blades were blown out, directly slicing the root of Black Zetsu into several pieces.

Black Zetsu had no choice but to come out first.

If Black Zetsu were to abandon his White Zetsu body, his ability to escape would be unparalleled in the ninja world. Almost no power could stop him from leaving, and no one could sense his presence. Back when he was under the command of Hagoromo and Hamura, he was able to escape without ever being discovered.

However, he is now possessing a White Zetsu. White Zetsu is a puppet created after the God Tree controlled the ancient humans. Madara Uchiha thought it was a creation of the Gedo Mazo and even incorporated Hashirama's cells into it, giving it a body for Black Zetsu.

Otherwise, Black Zetsu's true form is just a lump of "mud" with eyes and a mouth —

After possessing White Zetsu, Black Zetsu not only regained his human form but also gained increased combat power, thanks in large part to the Hashirama cells that Madara Uchiha had incorporated into him.

However, the trade-off is that their ability to escape is somewhat weakened.

From being the undisputed king of the ninja world, he was reduced to a first-rate ninja.

Although Black Zetsu possesses "Wood Release Chakra," allowing him to escape underground at great speed, much faster than his true self's silent departure, it is still significantly less effective.

At this moment, he was forced out by Akaishi —

"Uchiha Akashi! What are you doing?" Black Zetsu demanded.

"Where is Madara Uchiha? Why doesn't he dare to come out?" Akaishi became more and more confident.

Before meeting Madara, Akaishi didn't dare to say how weak the old man could be, so he had no idea about facing Madara Uchiha.

But now—

Seeing that Madara Uchiha didn't dare to come out at all, and only dared to send his servant to stall for time, Akashi became more and more certain that Madara must be very weak!

"You—" Black Zetsu was also annoyed and began to retaliate.

With a simple gesture, without any visible hand seals, several wooden "spears" flew from Black Jue's hand and body, shooting towards Red Stone.

Upon seeing the "wooden spear," Akaishi's expression shifted, but his hands moved swiftly, snatching the Uchiha fan—

Uchiha Rebound!

Kucha—crackle—

The wooden spear, fanned by Akaishi, was instantly spun back—

Puff puff puff—

Black neither dodged nor flinched, and was pierced through several transparent holes!

"Huh?" Akashi was taken aback when he saw this—so weak?

However, the next moment, Akaishi realized that something was wrong.

Although he appeared to be seriously injured, Black Zetsu's subsequent actions proved that he was completely unaffected.

Not only was there no blood on Black Zetsu's body, but he also moved as nimbly as ever. One of his arms stretched out toward Red Stone, quickly transforming into the shape of a tree trunk. It expanded and grew violently, spreading toward Red Stone like the arm of a giant, grabbing at Red Stone!

Seeing this, Akaishi immediately dodged while simultaneously forming hand seals.

Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

Red Stone spewed out six dragons, which coiled and bit at the huge wooden hand that was reaching for it.

Although the giant hand was very heat-resistant, it was still charred and smoking after a series of sizzling sounds.

At the same time, Akashi, who had dodged the wooden spear shot by Black Zetsu, landed on a tree branch and said indignantly, "As expected—you're not Uchiha Kakuze at all. I think you're a descendant of Ashura, deliberately trying to slander your ancestor Indra!"

Upon seeing him use Wood Release, Akaishi immediately became suspicious.

Although Akaishi didn't immediately connect "Wood Release" with "Ashura" at first, Black Zetsu later said that Madara Uchiha was the host of this generation's "Indra Chakra reincarnation" —

How could Akashi not understand who Ashura's chakra reincarnation was?

Seeing Black Zetsu's Wood Release technique, Akashi immediately became displeased, but—Black Zetsu didn't reply at this moment, only continuing to use Wood Release.

At this point, Akaishi didn't know whether this thing could be considered "Wood Release"—it was indeed manipulating trees, but—

—I've never seen him form hand seals!

Indeed, the "Wood Release" that Black Zetsu used at this moment lacked the feel of ninjutsu; it was as if he was just using a basic ability.

It lacks more powerful, decisive methods, but its range and durability are truly impressive!

Trees kept extending from its body, and even the Red Stone couldn't burn them all. Several times, the constantly extending vines and tentacles almost touched the Red Stone, but were only cut off by the Red Stone with its fan when they got close.

For a moment, Akaishi felt that this Black Zetsu was really too cowardly!

"Damn it! He's deliberately showing weakness!" Akashi was increasingly skeptical that he was a consciousness created by the ancestor Indra.

At first glance, seeing his behavior, Akashi thought he was weak, at least not as strong as he was now—otherwise, what's the point of being so weak?

Now it seems—

Black Zetsu's cowardly nature far exceeded Akaishi's expectations.

Akaishi even felt that, in a real fight, he might not be a match for him.

Black Zetsu remained silent in the face of Red Stone's taunts, and simply continued his offensive!

Too cowardly?

This assessment is indeed correct.

After all, if Blackie hadn't been so resolute, he wouldn't be seeing any hope of the plan succeeding more than a thousand years later.

Over the past thousand years, the chakra of Indra and Asura has reincarnated more than thirty times.

In other words, Black Zetsu has failed more than thirty times against these two brothers alone, yet he has never been discovered!

His existence remains a secret to the ninja world to this day. You should know that the chakra left behind by the Sage of Six Paths occasionally checks on the "latest battle reports" of his two sons, but he has never discovered the existence of Black Zetsu.

He was able to do this not only because his aura was absolutely concealed, but also because he was sufficiently "cunning" —

Sometimes, even if it's just a tiny bit off, if he put in a little more effort, the reincarnation of Indra's chakra could win and obtain Ashura's chakra, but Black Zetsu would never take that risk!

For Black Zetsu, who has been striving for a thousand years, one failure is not terrible; there will always be another chance.

However, exposing oneself is absolutely out of the question.

After all, if the existence of "Black Zetsu" is no longer a secret in the ninja world, not only will the new reincarnations that appear in the future know his identity, but also—it might even be known by Hamura!

This confrontation with Akaishi is already the most greedy thing he has ever done in over a thousand years.

"I didn't want to attack the Uchiha clan, but you forced me to!" Black Zetsu, now in his tree form, roared angrily.

Now that he had made his move, Black Zetsu had gone all out to try and keep Akaishi completely in check—although Black Zetsu had told Akaishi that he was only using a fake identity, Black Zetsu still did not want to reveal his own existence, lest he alert the enemy.

Of course, he was also prepared for the possibility that Akashi would not be able to stay, and verbally maintained his previous false persona, pretending to treat the Uchiha differently.

Just then—

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

Akashi suddenly sensed a large-scale fire-style ninjutsu attacking from behind!

It was that Uchiha Madara—

He still wore the same tattered robe and had the same aged face—even appearing slightly older. But this time, he stared with his single Mangekyou Sharingan, unleashing a massive fire meteor that attacked Akaishi.

Unfortunately, Akaishi was using Fire Release to counter the ever-surging waves of trees in front of him—

Just then—

Another mirror image of Akashi flashed out from the side—it was originally created to ambush Black Zetsu, but now it could no longer be hidden!

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

Akaishi demonstrated what a "Water Dragon Bullet" that only requires eight seals is.

Although not as large as six fire dragons, it's still comparable to two or three.

Sizzle—boom—

The collision of water and fire instantly generated a burst of high-temperature steam, but it was quickly blown back by the "third Akaishi" using the Uchiha fan.

However, taking advantage of this opening, Akagi's true form quickly left the spot where he was originally being attacked by Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara!

Although the simultaneous burning of wood-style jutsu with fire and dousing of fire-style jutsu with water gave Akaishi the illusion of fighting both Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha one-on-one, he dared not remain in such a disadvantageous position indefinitely.

The real Akaishi stood on a treetop, while the two mirror images of Akaishi stood in front of Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha, respectively.

at the same time----

The red stone itself then slightly opened its palm, which gradually cracked open, revealing a scarlet eye.
