Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 518 Black Zetsu, it's been over a thousand years, so you're still alive...

The Land of Grass.

A black and white monster was moving around here.

It was Zetsu, an intelligence agent for the Akatsuki organization. It had also been active as a Grass Ninja. It had two halves of its face on its head, one white and one black.

"Have you found Kisame's whereabouts?"

Black Zetsu's voice was somewhat sinister and hoarse.

"Found it..."

White Zetsu's voice was more lively as he chuckled and said, "Not only have we found out where Kisame is, we've also found out where Itachi went. That traitor Itachi and his brother Sasuke Uchiha injured Kisame and went back to Konoha."

"As for Kisame..."

"To evade the pursuit of the Konoha ninja, he hid in the Kusagakure village. We were only able to find him by following the signals he left behind..."

"Let's go find out what happened first..."

Black Zetsu's voice seemed somewhat displeased, growing increasingly sinister: "If that traitor Itachi Uchiha leaked Akatsuki's plans to Konoha..."

plan…

That means we might have to move it forward!

However, if the plan is forced to start ahead of schedule, manpower is indispensable, and Kisame Hoshigaki's power is the most suitable and effective assistant for capturing tailed beasts!

The Land of Grass.

This is a small country in the ninja world.

These small ninja villages often cannot enjoy lasting peace like larger ones, and wars frequently break out over minor disputes. The only armed force here is the Grass Ninja Village.

The Grass Village has been having a tough time lately, as their entire team sent to Konoha for the Chunin Exams was wiped out, including the Jonin who led the team. For a small ninja village, this loss is devastating…

however…

The explanation given by Konoha was suicide.

The leader of the Grass Village Jonin offended the Konoha ninja and chose to commit suicide within the village to atone for his sins. The only thing Konoha could do was express their apology.

"Konoha has gone too far..."

"They just gave us this kind of explanation..."

"They even forcibly kept that brat Karin in Konoha..."

A group of Grass Ninja were loudly expressing their dissatisfaction, their hearts filled with anger towards Konoha, a major ninja village, and they even hoped to immediately break off their alliance with Konoha.

but…

The leader of Kusagakure wouldn't dare do that.

All we could do was appease the villagers.

After all, the Grass Village often goes to war with neighboring countries and even clashes with some powerful wandering ninjas, so they can't afford to offend the Leaf Village at this time.

Now that there is no Ninja World War, the geographical location of Kusagakure has no value for other major ninja villages to win over.

"My Lord."

Just as the group of Grass Ninja were still fuming, one of them rushed forward to report something important: "The Konoha ninjas are here again! They're dressed like Konoha's Anbu, and they're carrying Karin with them. It seems they're going to return that brat Karin to us!"

"They dare to come again!"

"Kill them!"

"shut up!"

The leader of Kusagakure immediately stopped everyone, saying in a deep voice, "Don't say such things in front of the Konoha ninja! Our alliance with Konoha must be maintained, at least until our war with our neighboring country ends!"

"alright."

"I will go to greet them myself."

"Konoha's willingness to return that brat Karin is advantageous to us..."

The leader of Kusagakure personally led a team of guards to welcome the envoy from Konoha. He believed that the envoy was from Konoha, which was why he came to greet him personally.

however…

This time…

He greeted an envoy who was not from Konoha…

Instead, he is a messenger from hell.

Outside Kusagakure Village.

Uchiha Sasuke stood at the door with a trembling Karin in his arms.

Karin hid behind Sasuke Uchiha, looking at the group of fierce-looking Grass Ninja, and involuntarily wanted to retreat and leave.

"Don't be afraid."

Uchiha Sasuke turned around and placed his hand on her head.

This black-haired boy, who looked to be about the same age and height as her, comforted his peers like a little adult.

"Starting today..."

Sasuke Uchiha ruffled Karin's red hair, looked at the somewhat hesitant Karin, and sighed inwardly: "Your nightmare is over."

"Sasuke..."

Karin stubbornly stayed by his side.

"This is revenge for you."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the group of ninjas walking out of the gates of Kusagakure and slowly raised his palm: "It's also a grand performance for others to see..."

"..."

Karin didn't quite understand what Sasuke Uchiha meant.

"Welcome, Konoha's envoy..."

The leader of Kusagakure walked out of the village with a smile on his face. A look of shock appeared in his eyes at the appearance of the messenger, but he quickly suppressed it.

This little guy…

Legend has it that he was the one who forced the leader of the Grass Village Jonin to commit suicide!

"So it was you..."

The leader of Kusagakure gritted his teeth, feeling a surge of anger. A ferocious look appeared on his face. After a moment of intense thought, he forced himself to maintain his composure as a leader: "Thank you for helping to bring the brats from our village back..."

"I didn't bring her back."

Sasuke Uchiha calmly looked at the leader of Kusagakure: "I'm here to help her kill people, to kill everyone here..."

"..."

The leader of Kusagakure's eyelids twitched.

What kind of crazy joke is this?

How dare a brat from Konoha be so presumptuous?

next moment!

A burst of electricity crackled between Uchiha Sasuke's palms!

The lightning bolt struck so fast that it pierced through the chest of the Grass Village leader in an instant. The Grass Village leader watched helplessly as a large hole was pierced through his chest!

"My Lord!"

"How dare you, a member of Konoha!"

The other grass ninja were immediately horrified upon seeing this, and in a fit of rage, they surrounded Uchiha Sasuke and Karin, each holding a weapon, intending to kill Uchiha Sasuke on the spot!

however…

The purple Susanoo rose proudly!

A purple Susanoo, as imposing as a mountain, suddenly descended upon this ninja village that had once been filled with tragedy and bloodshed. In an instant, its long sword was drawn, and before the terrified eyes of all the grass ninja, a sharp, massive blade of light cleaved the entire grass ninja village in two!

Fresh blood…

It immediately dyed the streets of the small village red.

At the same time.

In a small house in Kusagakure.

A tall figure sat listlessly in the corner, wearing a straw hat to cover his face, and gripping a Samehada sword tightly in his hand.

It was Kisame Hoshigaki.

Jue's figure emerged from the ground.

White Zetsu cautiously called out Kisame Hoshigaki's name: "Hey, Kisame, how's your injury? What happened?"

"It's alright."

Kisame Hoshigaki's voice was somewhat cold. He lowered his head slightly, hiding his face behind his straw hat: "Aren't you supposed to have access to all the information in the ninja world?"

"We don't know what has already happened."

Black Zetsu's voice held a hint of displeasure, and he questioned in a slightly hoarse tone, "Tell me first, what trouble have you run into? Did that traitor Itachi Uchiha choose to defect and return to Konoha for his brother's sake?"

"Is your injury... really alright?"

White Zetsu seemed a little worried about Kisame's injuries, yet also appeared indifferent: "I've found out some new information. Apparently, that brat Sasuke Uchiha also has the Mangekyou Sharingan and can even use Susanoo. Add to that Itachi Uchiha's power, and if two Mangekyou Sharingan users who can use Susanoo were to deal with you, how could you possibly have escaped unscathed..."

"..."

Kisame Hoshigaki's voice was somewhat hoarse, as if he was still a little unaccustomed to speaking. He slowly reached out to remove his straw hat: "Your information is wrong. Sasuke Uchiha is not a Mangekyou Sharingan user..."

"impossible!"

White Zetsu immediately retorted loudly, even citing examples: "I sent out clones to eavesdrop on a lot of information in Konoha. That brat could use Susanoo during the Chunin Exams. Only Mangekyou Sharingan users can use Susanoo!"

"No…"

"Is there another type of user who can use Susanoo?"

Kisame Hoshigaki gently shook his head, his large hand lightly stroking his hat, slowly removing it from his head, revealing his figure and eerie eyes to White Zetsu and Black Zetsu.

"!!!"

Both White Zetsu and Black Zetsu felt a tremor in their hearts at the same time!

Because Kisame Hoshigaki looks a bit scary!

This man, who already had a fierce, shark-like appearance, had a pale face covered with orderly rows of jet-black spots, as if jet-black nails had been driven into his face as a facial decoration!

however…

Both Black Zetsu and White Zetsu know...

Those black spots weren't nails or any kind of face decoration; they were all chakra receivers that looked like black rods from Yin-Yang Release!

This chakra receiver…

Only those who possess the Rinnegan can use it!

On Kisame Hoshigaki's body...

How could such a thing exist!

Only Payne in this world should possess something like this!

However, Payne's actions were basically within their surveillance range!

"Who are you…"

"A puppet with the Rinnegan!"

White Zetsu and Black Zetsu were both startled!

"good."

Kisame Hoshigaki's eyes subtly changed; one of his eyes was a scarlet Mangekyou Sharingan, while the other slowly turned into a purple Rinnegan.

"!!!"

Black Zetsu was filled with boundless terror!

Are you kidding me!

How could a new Rinnegan possibly be born in the ninja world!

Only the Uchiha clan, descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, could possibly give birth to the Rinnegan. Only when the chakra of the Sage of Six Paths' eldest son, Indra, and his second son, Ashura, is combined into one, along with the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, can the Rinnegan be born!

however…

Anyone who could potentially develop the Rinnegan was basically under Black Zetsu's surveillance. He never imagined that anyone in the ninja world could possess the Rinnegan!

Do not…

wrong…

"Who are you?!"

Black Zetsu felt an overwhelming sense of terror!

You'll see it soon.

Kisame Hoshigaki's voice sounded exceptionally cold.

Boom!

The entire Hidden Grass Village began to shake violently!

As if an earthquake had struck the village, all the buildings began to collapse in an instant, and cries of agony and weeping echoed throughout the small village!

"What is that?!"

"Is that the devil?"

"Everyone, run!"

"Everyone, get out of here quickly!"

The ninjas of the entire Grass Village were shouting loudly, watching the rampaging Perfect Susanoo and yelling for the villagers to flee immediately.

Whoosh!

This small house was also affected by the aftershocks of Susanoo's attack!

White Zetsu and Black Zetsu simultaneously looked up instinctively and immediately saw the towering purple Susanoo, as tall as a mountain, wreaking havoc in the Grass Village!

"Uchiha Sasuke..."

White Zetsu immediately uttered the name of Susanoo's master.

"How is that possible..."

Black Zetsu stared in disbelief at the black-haired boy and red-haired girl inside the crystal of the Perfect Susanoo, its heart feeling as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer!

"Wait a moment..."

Kisame Hoshigaki's voice echoed in Black Zetsu and White Zetsu's ears, but he uttered the words Sasuke Uchiha wanted to say: "It will be over soon..."

"..."

The White Zetsu and Black Zetsu were somewhat speechless.

Not bad.

This devastation will soon be over.

After all, even the five great ninja villages are powerless against a complete Susanoo, let alone the Grass Village, which is just an insignificant little ninja village...

When the entire Kusagakure was completely destroyed, it was no longer recognizable as a village. Deep ravines appeared in the earth, and only remnants of blood and limbs remained in these ravines, proving that people had died here...

This village.

There are only two places where we can still find shelter.

One of them is the small house where Kisame Hoshigaki and Zetsu lived, and the other is the cemetery of Kusagakure.

Sasuke Uchiha waved his hand to dispel his Susanoo, and led the still somewhat frightened Karin toward the small house, ignoring all the severed limbs along the way.

"..."

Karin trembled slightly, looking somewhat timid.

Even she never imagined that one day this village, which had once brought her nightmares, would be so easily destroyed, and those grass ninjas who had bullied, beaten, and devoured her and her mother's lives would be slaughtered like weeds...

"..."

Black Zetsu felt a little heavy-hearted.

because…

It still couldn't understand why Uchiha Sasuke possessed the Rinnegan!

Do not…

Don't even mention the Rinnegan...

Even the complete Susanoo should not be something that Uchiha Sasuke at this age could use, because even the most talented Uchiha Madara could not do it!

"Would you like to go see your mother?"

Uchiha Sasuke asked Karin in a low voice.

"good…"

Karin lowered her head slightly.

This matter…

Indeed, I should tell my mother…

But my mother's grave must have been destroyed too, right?

Surprisingly, the graves in Kusagakure were not damaged much. Perhaps there were no living people there to begin with, or perhaps it was done intentionally by someone who started it.

After waving Karin away, Sasuke walked step by step toward Zetsu, a haughty, mocking smile playing on his lips.

"..."

Black Zetsu's heart tightened.

Because this smile was full of Uchiha arrogance, Black Zetsu even vaguely felt that Uchiha Sasuke's smile was somewhat similar to Uchiha Madara!

"snort…"

"More than a thousand years..."

"You're still here, you idiot..."

Sasuke Uchiha's first words sent a jolt through Black Zetsu's heart.

"!!!"

Black Zetsu felt an overwhelming sense of dread.

This brat…

This sentence…

What does it mean?

What do you mean I'm still alive after living for over a thousand years? And why does that brat Uchiha Sasuke seem to know that I've lived for over a thousand years?

This is a secret that Black Zetsu must keep hidden...

But at that moment, Sasuke Uchiha saw through it all with a single sentence!

"Who... exactly are you...?"

Black Zetsu's body trembled slightly.

Its mind raced, listing out everyone it had met over the past thousand years!

"Are you...Indra?"

Black Zetsu could only think of this possibility. It mumbled the name of the first descendant of the Sage of Six Paths it had bewitched, which was its first action since its birth.

"It's just his chakra..."

Sasuke Uchiha smirked, seemingly mocking Black Zetsu's naiveté: "Shouldn't you have known this already?"

"..."

Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had almost been scared to death.

wrong…

Are you kidding me!

How could the reincarnation of Indra's chakra possibly know these things, how could he possibly recognize them, and how could he possibly know what kind of reincarnation he is!

Unless Indra secretly did something to allow these reincarnated beings to access his memories, Black Zetsu's heart couldn't help but feel a sense of fear!

should…

Surely not…

Even if Indra is exceptional, he is ultimately not a true member of the Otsutsuki clan, and his chakra is merely a fraction of the Sage of Six Paths' chakra...

"Are you wondering how I came to have his memories?"

Sasuke Uchiha's lips curled up, as if mocking Black Zetsu: "Because the previous reincarnation was exceptionally talented, after obtaining a portion of Ashura's chakra, he was able to sense the remaining will of Indra, and thus Ashura's chakra and Indra's chakra were reincarnated into my body together..."

"oh…"

"Oh, right..."

"Speaking of which..."

Sasuke Uchiha's mocking smile deepened, as if he were mocking Black Zetsu, or perhaps someone else in general: "Are you the assistant Indra left for us reincarnated beings?"

"..."

Black Zetsu's eye twitched.

and many more…

This means...

not good!

I feel like I've been scammed!

When Madara Uchiha awakened the Rinnegan, he had already awakened Indra's will and knew some of Indra's memories!

This means...

Madara Uchiha knew that he was a Black Zetsu who had lived for over a thousand years!

However, when he was impersonating the will of Uchiha Madara, that man Uchiha Madara did not expose his identity. Instead, he used this monster who had lived for a thousand years to make him obediently act as his dog and help him be resurrected!
