Konoha: I, Uchiha, am brimming with positive energy

Chapter 267 Kushina's Dry Heaving

"Huh, my clone sent back a strange message."

"What news?"

Black Zetsu asked, because it resided in White Zetsu's body, so the two spoke with one mouth but had two different voices.

"It seems like there are three reanimated bodies capturing large beasts, probably preparing to use them as summoning beasts. But those three reanimated bodies actually have tailed beast chakra on them."

After receiving the images transmitted back by his clone, White Zetsu said in a very surprised tone, "It seems to be the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers from the Hidden Cloud Village. There's another one I don't recognize, but he might be the previous Jinchuriki of the Two-Tails from the Hidden Cloud Village."

How are you so sure?

"Because he has the Two-Tails' chakra, why would you ask such a question, Black Zetsu?"

Black Zetsu fell silent upon hearing this. It had actually been questioned by this fool, White Zetsu. However, the chakra of the Nine-Tails and the Two-Tails was extremely important, so Black Zetsu directly invaded White Zetsu's chakra and saw the images transmitted back by White Zetsu's clone.

"It really is an Edo Tensei body, and it seems to have quite a bit of chakra. White Zetsu, didn't your clone realize where the person it's controlling is?"

"No, we searched the whole area but couldn't find them. The impure bodies don't have any intelligence, so it seems they received a special mission."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. The two reanimated bodies had too much tailed beast chakra. Even if it was not as much as the real tailed beasts, it was at least a third of the chakra, which was definitely enough to revive the Ten-Tails.

This is a godsend alternative.

Although it's a bit strange that the Edo Tensei would appear in this location, Black Zetsu didn't want to miss the chance to revive his mother.

"Go and report to Lord Ban."

After making his decision, Black Zetsu immediately controlled White Zetsu to infiltrate underground and quickly located Madara's position.

Madara Uchiha is currently sitting idly in the base because he has nothing to do and is waiting for information about the Eight-Tails. He can't go to Hashirama Senju and cause the ninja world to rise up prematurely and disrupt his plans.

Fortunately, Madara Uchiha was patient. He could wait for decades before to develop the Rinnegan, so he was able to get information about the tailed beasts now.

"Madara-sama."

Upon seeing Black Zetsu emerge from underground, Madara Uchiha immediately asked, "Do you have any information about the Eight-Tails?"

"Not yet, but the White Zetsu outside have discovered information about the Nine-Tails' chakra and the Two-Tails' chakra. They are the reanimated bodies of Kinkaku and Ginkaku from the Hidden Cloud Village, as well as the previous Two-Tails Jinchuriki. They currently possess a considerable amount of Tailed Beast chakra, which might make them a good replacement."

After Black Zetsu gave a brief explanation, Madara Uchiha became interested.

"About a third of the Tailed Beast chakra? That's enough for the Gedo Mazo to transform. These must be Konoha's Edo Tensei bodies. But why are they capturing such large beasts?"

After Madara Uchiha finished speaking, White Zetsu suddenly blurted out, "Will it become a summoning beast?"

Madara Uchiha glanced at White Zetsu but didn't say anything. He knew that arguing with a fool like White Zetsu was a losing proposition.

"Let's go check that out first, and tell me the location, Black Zetsu."

"exist"

After giving his location, Madara Uchiha realized that Madara was still near his temporary base, so he grabbed his weapon and jumped outside.

Black Zetsu and White Zetsu quickly followed, while the Gedo Mazo was left behind, since Madara Uchiha could summon it at any time.

Both of them were quite fast. White Zetsu could travel across the Land of Fire in half a day underground, while Madara Uchiha used chakra to travel at a speed similar to the Body Flicker Technique, and quickly found the Edo Tensei body.

At this moment, the three impure bodies were knocking out the large beasts they had captured and piling them up in the valley.

Upon arriving, Madara Uchiha immediately sensed the powerful chakra emanating from the three Edo Tensei bodies. Slightly surprised, he remarked, "This is indeed unexpected. It seems Konoha sealed a significant amount of Tailed Beast chakra into these three bodies to enhance their strength."

After emerging from underground, Black Zetsu said, "Lord Madara, these three Edo Tensei bodies should be able to serve as substitutes, right?"

"That's barely acceptable. Let me first see where the person controlling things is!"

After Madara Uchiha finished speaking, his eyes transformed into Rinnegan, and he then used his Rinnegan eye technique.

Wheel Grave!

Three imperceptible clones instantly appeared where Madara Uchiha's vision was focused, and then quickly controlled Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and the previous Two-Tails Jinchuriki.

Only beings at the level of the Rinnegan and the Six Paths can sense the Limbo clones; others simply cannot deal with them.

Just as Madara Uchiha was controlling the Limbo clones, trying to remove the control talisman from the Edo Tensei bodies' brains, the three Edo Tensei bodies suddenly regained consciousness.

"What... what's going on? I'm not dead?"

"It does seem so, Ginkaku, but you don't look like a living person either. It's more like the Impure World Reincarnation technique used by that bastard Second Hokage!"

"What?! Golden Horn? That bastard's dead too!? Who summoned us from the Pure Land?"

During their argument, Kinkaku and Ginkaku discovered a large amount of Nine-Tails chakra within their bodies. They then directly controlled the Nine-Tails chakra and unleashed it, instantly entering the second stage of their Tailed Beast transformation.

Even so, they couldn't break free from the restraints. Kinkaku and Ginkaku even attacked wildly in front of them with their chakra tails, but it was still useless.

Upon seeing this, Madara Uchiha knew that the three reanimated individuals had been released from control.

"What a cunning fellow, he won't reveal a single clue."

Upon seeing this, Black Zetsu said, "Besides the people of Konoha, there wouldn't be any other ninja skilled in the Impure World Reincarnation technique; but fortunately, their mistake has given us the chakra of three tailed beasts, so now we only have three tailed beasts left: the Four-Tails, the Five-Tails, and the Eight-Tails."

Mother will soon be resurrected!

"Alright, let's go back first. The Nine-Tails still needs to be sealed one last time, so we'll have to deal with these two."

Madara Uchiha spoke, and then returned to the base with the three reanimated bodies.

After the three had been gone for a long time, the space at the top of a giant tree began to distort, and a figure suddenly appeared there.

"Finally, it's a success. All those changes of location weren't for nothing. Now there are only three tailed beasts left. Reviving the Ten-Tails should be quick now."

After Kamui's clone finished speaking, he immediately used his eye technique to return to the village. He had just discovered that he could no longer sense the previous Two-Tails Jinchuriki, so he knew that this impure body had either been sealed or returned to the Pure Land.

Madara Uchiha was such a disappointment, he actually had to rely on his enemy's financial support to collect the Tailed Beasts.

"What just happened? Why did I sense the Nine-Tails' chakra?"

Kushina, who was cooking at home, suddenly paused. She seemed to vaguely sense that the Nine-Tails' chakra had appeared outside. However, just as she was about to enter the Nine-Tails' chakra mode to sense it in detail, she remembered the time when Uchiha Yoichi asked her for chakra.

"It's probably related to that bastard, but never mind, I don't want to think about it anymore."

Kushina guessed to herself that she should mention it to Mina that afternoon and have her best friend tell that guy.

Kushina doesn't dare to approach Uchiha Yoichi now, otherwise she doesn't know where she'll get humiliated by that bastard.

After putting that aside, Kushina focused on cooking curry. She had bought magical lamb early that day and cooked it all into the curry.

Seeing that it was almost cooked, Kushina ladled out a small dish, ready to taste it.

"Seems pretty good, I can go call Naruto. Ugh~"

Before she could even put down the small plate in her hand, Kushina couldn't resist the nausea any longer. She went to the pool and dry-heaved for a while before slowly recovering.

After rinsing her mouth and feeling a little better, Kushina looked at the pot of curry she had just cooked at noon, puzzled, and muttered to herself, "Why do I suddenly feel nauseous? Does the curry taste wrong?"

She then tried it again, but this time she didn't feel the nausea she had just experienced.

"It must be an illusion."

Kushina then untied her apron and went outside the kitchen, calling upstairs, "Naruto, come down for dinner!"
