Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 53 Is Madara Uchiha still alive?

The White Zetsu, now transformed into Uchiha Pill, froze, then chuckled, "I was just worried about you... Besides, there's no trace of transformation jutsu on me, you didn't mistake me for an enemy, did you?"

"At this point, the pill would just slap my hand away in annoyance."

Hinata Yu had no interest in listening to his explanation. Black sealing talismans appeared in his palm and gradually enveloped White Zetsu's entire body.

Having been with Madara Uchiha for so long, how could he not know what kind of personality Madara Uchiha had?

Even if you're going to pretend, at least make it look convincing.

Sealing the White Zetsu, this precious experimental subject, into the scroll, Hyuga Yu looked in the direction where Uchiha Yakumaru and Kakashi had left, his thoughts racing.

Bai Jue's move was exactly what he expected.

The strength Konoha is currently displaying is too great. Madara himself is confident in handling it, but that doesn't mean he believes Obito is capable of dealing with Konoha in this state.

Even excluding him and Orochimaru, the Akatsuki at their peak would have paid a heavy price against the current Konoha.

Therefore, appropriately reducing Konoha's fighting strength and weakening Kirigakure, a ninja village with equally great war potential, was also the purpose of this war.

This will at least make Obito's future efforts to capture the tailed beasts a little easier.

Moreover, the drama on Obito's side should be about to begin, and White Zetsu's actions can buy time and prevent others from interfering.

Although the attacker was an ordinary White Zetsu, the Hyuga clan, who were unaware of White Zetsu's information, would have been caught off guard.

After all, even if one finds the changes in their companions strange, they wouldn't expect such a powerful transformation technique that can even simulate chakra, making it indistinguishable even to the Byakugan.

That soldier's ration pill they gave him wasn't a good thing; it was highly poisonous.

Obito's method of using an army of 100,000 White Zetsu was flawed from the start.

Given enough intelligence, White Zetsu can transform into anyone and temporarily replace anyone.

Their exceptional ability to transform makes them the best assassins and spies.

Obito was sent directly to the front lines... Although the result was that he forced Naruto out of the battlefield, this method of use was truly a waste.

However, Madara obviously won't make the same mistake.

So, among the strong individuals who separated from the main group and came here, who is most likely to receive special treatment?

Where is the original White Zetsu, a special individual with the strength to fight against a Kage?

Looking in a certain direction, Hinata Yu's figure disappeared from the spot.

Uchiha Fugaku, Minato, Kushina…

If one of them comes into contact with the two tailed beasts controlled by illusion, they will inevitably discover some problems.

No, it should be said that it was one person and one beast.

How are you going to deal with them, spots?

……

On Minato's side, after a battle, Kushina, with the help of Fugaku and Minato, successfully controlled one of the tailed beasts using the Adamantine Lock.

Seeing Kushina suppress the Six-Tails, Minato turned his gaze to the Three-Tails, which had now transformed into its complete form, and said in a low voice:

"Fugaku, I'm leaving it to you."

"ah."

Fugaku Uchiha responded and activated his Mangekyou Sharingan.

When Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to distract and disrupt the Three-Tails, his Mangekyou Sharingan met the Three-Tails' gaze, and his powerful eye power instantly penetrated the Three-Tails' and its jinchūriki's mental world.

In a damp, dark underground space, Fugaku Uchiha appeared, his figure formed from concentrated eye power. He looked at the Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts ahead, who were wary of him, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Now, obey my commands, Three-Tails!"

The power of the kaleidoscope's pupils infused the spirits of both the human and the beast.

Outside, the Three-Tails stopped its movements, and Fugaku Uchiha, who believed he was close to success, relaxed slightly.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

A terrifying eye power, even surpassing that of Fugaku Uchiha, erupted from the Three-Tails' eye, expelling Fugaku's eye power.

With a muffled groan, Fugaku suffered a backlash, a trickle of blood flowing from his eyes and dripping down his cheek to the ground.

Meanwhile, Kushina paused in her preparation to reseal the Tailed Beast back into the Jinchuriki's body, clutching her stomach in unbearable pain.

Seeing that both of them were in trouble at the same time, and that the Three-Tails, which should have been under control, was moving again and its tail was attacking the unsuspecting Kushina, Minato quickly used Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to her side and used Rasengan to deflect the tail.

"Kushina, what's wrong?"

"Fourth Hokage, I now understand why these two Jinchuriki can control the power of the Tailed Beasts. This Three-Tails... no, I understand why these two Jinchuriki can control the power of the Tailed Beasts."

Before Kushina could answer, Fugaku, who had recovered, activated his crimson Susanoo and forced the Three-Tails back with a single strike, preventing it from rescuing the Six-Tails. He then explained:

"Someone possesses Sharingan equal to, or even stronger than, mine, and has control over two tailed beasts and their jinchūriki!"

Kushina, suppressing her pain, whispered to Minato, "The Nine-Tails is angry, it hates the eye power that struck Fugaku!"

At this moment, in her spiritual world, the Nine-Tailed Fox was extremely furious, constantly attacking the seal she had set up, as if it wanted to fight the mastermind behind the scenes.

Is it stronger than the Kaleidoscope, and can incite the Nine-Tails' anger and hatred?

Not only Minato, but after Fugaku and Kushina gathered the information they knew, a name came to mind for all three of them, yet they couldn't believe it.

Because that person... should already be dead!

……

"It really is a kaleidoscope."

In the pitch-black underground space, the incredibly old Ban slowly opened his eyes.

When White Zetsu told him that Fugaku Uchiha was among those who went to deal with the Tailed Beasts, he had a suspicion.

Only those with kaleidoscope-level eye power can control tailed beasts. It's not surprising that Fugaku Uchiha and the Fourth Hokage had such a trump card when they were fighting the tailed beasts together.

only……

"What a coincidence."

Yes, what a coincidence.

If it were only Fugaku, the other party would at most think that another Mangekyou Sharingan had been born in the ninja world at some point.

If it were only Kushina, without the influence of the Mangekyou Sharingan's power, his genjutsu wouldn't be triggered, and the two tailed beasts would simply be dealt with by Kushina and Minato using sealing techniques. Kurama wouldn't have sensed that power.

A certain fact can only be discovered when both of them are present.

He—Uchiha Madara—is still alive!

It's as if someone who knew he was still alive did it on purpose.

Madara Uchiha seemed to see someone making an inviting gesture in his eyes, wanting to see what the other person would do next.

To kill or to spare?

The former might not be able to achieve this with the help of those White Zetsu; instead, it would expose more of his trump cards and affect the plan to capture the Tailed Beasts.

The latter means that from this point onward, his existence was already semi-transparent in the eyes of Konoha.

Perhaps it's just a suspicion, but once a precedent is set, finding the truth won't be difficult.

However, some of his trump cards could be hidden and used by Obito.

"Ha, so what if I'm exposed?"

Even if he exposed too much and it affected his future plans, he believed that once he was resurrected, all resistance would be meaningless!

The old man's face bore an arrogant and confident expression.

"You want me to take action, huh? Then let me see what you're up to."

For someone who knows they exist to make such a design, it's impossible that they simply wanted to expose themselves to the ninja world.

If the other party only considered this point, and only learned by chance from some channel that he was still alive, feared him, and wanted to use someone else to deal with him.

They don't deserve to be taken seriously by him.

Even at his advanced age, he is not someone that just anyone can control.

Let me see what you want to get out of this!
