Naruto: Reincarnation of a Hundred Lifetimes, the Uchiha's White Moonlight

Once their tacit understanding dissipated, the two began discussing business.

Yun An sat on the soft cushion reserved for advisors and got straight to the point: "By the way, what's the deal with Uchiha Madara?"

They recently appeared directly on Amegakure's territory. Now that Amegakure and Konoha are allies, it's only right and proper for Amegakure to help them, and as their advisor, I should also do my part.

Could this be your "repayment" just now?

Yun An stroked the crystal ball in her hand, a look of mixed amusement and exasperation on her face.

He shouldn't have trusted Orochimaru. Letting him become a politician turned him into a top-notch old fox. Being "used" by a politician like this is really not a good feeling.

"Uchiha Madara was one of my reincarnation missions."

Yun An spoke softly, his tone calm, revealing little emotion.

Orochimaru suddenly realized, then stared intently at Yun An, a mysterious smile spreading across his face. His tone abruptly changed: "Could it be that the Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was also one of your reincarnation missions?"

He paused, then added, "Recently, I've been paying close attention to the historical records of the Uchiha clan, and I accidentally discovered that during the Warring States period, a young girl appeared in the Uchiha clan's territory. As soon as she appeared, she captivated their ancestor, Uchiha Madara."

This girl…

Orochimaru stopped abruptly, but his gaze toward Yun An was perfectly clear, as if everything was understood without being said.

Yun An rolled her eyes at him, annoyed.

Orochimaru's intelligence—his ability to find out and predict everything—can sometimes be really annoying, utterly annoying.

"Could it really be?"

I never imagined you'd have such a peculiar hobby.

Orochimaru, with a smile, continued his teasing.

Yun An glanced at him and retorted without any politeness, "Don't you have any?"

He remembered very clearly that Orochimaru's "hobbies" were always perfectly aboveboard.

As expected, Orochimaru frankly replied, "That was just my scientific spirit."

"hehe."

Yun An merely twitched the corner of her mouth.

If he believed that, he would be the biggest fool in the world.

Just like every normal man, before taking that step, he thinks his orientation is perfectly clear, but only after trying it out will he find that there is another world out there.

Before you've tried it, no amount of explanation will be of any value.

Orochimaru was naturally not foolish enough to actually do anything to prove himself, so he just smiled silently.

After a while.

He suppressed his smile and asked, "So, how do you plan to deal with him?"

"Continue to appear in women's clothing, go see Uchiha Madara, and try to move him with your 'great love'?"

His tone was full of mockery, "This time, the people of Amegakure made it very clear that Uchiha Madara came with burning hatred and boundless rage, as if he wanted to swallow up the entire ninja world. Even the old shadows of the Valley of the End couldn't stop him."

"Does this 'white moonlight' of you really work?"

It was obvious that after spending a lot of time with Yun An, Orochimaru could even use some new words with ease.

"This is not really your concern, Hokage-sama."

Yun An spoke calmly, reminding the other party of his identity in a friendly manner.

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, though it was unclear whether he had taken it to heart or not.

Yun An found it boring and got up to leave the Hokage's office.

Just as I stepped out the door, my steps suddenly stopped.

He could clearly sense a faint presence behind the pillars outside the door; clearly, someone was eavesdropping.

"Does the head of the Nara clan have such a twisted sense of humor?"

Yun An spoke expressionlessly, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger, but inwardly he was thinking that he had been too careless and had not noticed the presence behind the pillar in time.

Nara Shikaku emerged from behind the pillar, scratching his head and giving an awkward, dry laugh. He was still fiddling with a roll of documents between his fingers, deliberately feigning busyness: "It can't be helped. I do have some important matters to report to the Hokage, and what a coincidence!"

"I hope it really is just a coincidence."

Yun An spoke slowly, saying that whether or not one believed it was pure wishful thinking.

These old guys from Konoha are all shrewd and difficult to deal with. If we don't let this go today, who knows what kind of rumors will spread about us? We won't be able to explain ourselves no matter how hard we try. Just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy.

Yun An didn't say anything more, turned around and left, leaving Nara Shikaku standing there, shaking his head helplessly as he watched his back.

On the other side, in a mountain cave far from Konoha, although there were signs of collapse everywhere, the interior had been meticulously crafted and contained hidden secrets.

Although Madara Uchiha lost his former subordinates, the power under Black Zetsu should not be underestimated.

Over the years, Black Zetsu's schemes have never been limited to the Xiao organization. He controls all channels and vast sums of money within the organization, and the information he possesses alone is enough to bring him countless riches.

"He has returned to Konoha Village."

The subordinate's voice came in a low voice. Uchiha Madara, who was staring at the program on the screen in front of him, suddenly darkened his face. He crushed the remote control in his hand, and the plastic parts instantly turned into powder in his palm. The fragments fell to the ground in a shocking manner.

Black Zetsu stood to the side, his lips twitching slightly, silently thinking to himself: This is the third remote control that Madara Uchiha has broken recently.

It's true what they say, you don't know the value of daily necessities until you're in charge of the household. These powerful people really don't know how to cherish the life they have now.

"What are you planning to do?"

Black Zetsu asked expressionlessly, his tone carrying a hint of calm scrutiny.

Madara Uchiha slowly rose to his feet, his slender figure exuding a terrifying aura in the dim light, his face filled with chilling killing intent: "Of course, we'll go to Konoha, find him, and then kill him."

"I don't recommend that you do that."

Black Zetsu immediately spoke up to dissuade him, his words clear and distinct: "The Gedo Mazo is now empty, and there are still many other tailed beasts that have not yet been captured."

If you act rashly now, you'll only expose yourself completely; it won't achieve anything.

Like the most composed strategist, he analyzed the pros and cons from the side: "The best way is to first collect all the remaining tailed beasts, let the Gedo Mazo absorb its chakra, and then you can control the Mazo and use the massive chakra to activate the Sage's Eye, so that you will have the strength to sweep through the entire Hidden Leaf Village."

Otherwise, I'm sorry, but I have to say I'm not optimistic about this.

Madara Uchiha at the moment still believes that Black Zetsu is a derivative of himself, and naturally trusts his words without a doubt.

He narrowed his eyes, his anger surging in his chest for a moment, but he finally took a few deep breaths and calmly sat back down in his original position: "Since that's the case, then I'll listen to you for now."

I hope you won't let me down.

"Definitely not."

Black Zetsu's voice fell steadily, and he bowed to take his leave, continuing to gather information about Konoha.

As soon as they emerged from the cave, they saw White Zetsu twisting his body and approaching them, his tone carrying a hint of complaint.
