Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan

Nagato nodded: "The Infinite Tsukuyomi plan requires the tailed beasts of the five great ninja villages, and they cannot hide forever. In this case, as long as we remain hidden, we do not need to be the vanguard for them."

"The clear understanding of Kirigakure, coupled with the feint attack on Sunagakure on the other side, will inevitably throw the newly formed alliance into disarray."

"In this way, the formation of the coalition could be directly undermined."

Kong shook his head slightly: "The newly formed coalition is fragile, regardless of whether it will be destroyed or not. The hatred accumulated among the five great ninja villages will cause pain to everyone who experiences it firsthand."

"Such suffering is not suitable for the peace that follows. However, it is perfectly suited as the dark side of this world."

As he spoke, Uzumaki Sora looked at Konan: "Have you made arrangements for the few remaining ninjas in Amegakure? Once we go into hiding, it might be time for Obito and Black Zetsu to make their move."

“If war breaks out, they might be used by those two guys. Send them away and hide them until the new era arrives.”

Konan nodded: "The next three days should be enough. After all, Amegakure doesn't have any deeply rooted clans. If there are any, they are Hanzo's die-hard loyalists, and they were pretty much wiped out before then."

After he finished speaking, all three of them fell silent for a moment.

After a long silence, Nagato stepped forward and stood beside Sora: "Will peace really last?"

Uzumaki Sora looked at the drizzle outside: "Although I know most of the information about this world, I am not omniscient. Long-term peace may really exist, but eternal peace is impossible."

"However... I mean long in the sense of a hundred years, but eternity is true eternity."

Nagato sighed and nodded.

After the Shinobi Village system replaced the clan system, the First Hokage died, the boulder that had been suppressing everyone disappeared, and war ensued.

In just a few decades, the entire ninja world has experienced three major wars.

In this situation, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that peace measured in centuries will last forever.

Xiao Nan stared blankly at the two people in front of her, their discussion about peace.

Besides hair color...

It was exactly the same scene as in my dream.

A long time ago, I used to wonder what would have happened if Yahiko hadn't died?

Perhaps if... it would be the same as what's happening now?

Watching Sora's retreating figure, Konan's eyes involuntarily filled with tears.

……

Chapter 270: On the Scene

In the northern part of the Land of Iron, in a dark underground cave.

"If we come back here, we are very likely to be discovered again."

"No. After scattering and returning, the most dangerous place is also the safest place."

"Don't forget, now that we've left Akatsuki, Uzumaki Sora might very well betray us."

“If he really can foresee the future, then no matter where we hide, he will find us.”

Black Zetsu's words silenced Obito.

Indeed, if Uzumaki Sora's intelligence capabilities are so powerful, then he would be discovered no matter where he hides.

After a long silence, Obito glanced at Black Zetsu and said, "So what should we do now? Akatsuki is no longer under our control. Nagato and Ku are entangled together, and we have no way to take back control of Akatsuki."

Black Zetsu thought for a moment and then replied, "Power. Because of Uzumaki Sora's existence, our power is no longer sufficient to carry out the subsequent plans. Now... we need the power to continue the plan."

Obito chuckled upon hearing this: "You and I should both know very well. The only reason we were able to retreat safely from Uchiha Kumo was because of our abilities."

“Power? Uzumaki Sora possesses power nearly equal to that of Senju Hashirama, and Uchiha Kumo, aside from the Rinnegan, is close to that of Uchiha Madara, and with the Eight Gates, he even surpasses Senju Hashirama.”

"With such power, we have no chance of winning."

After he finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

Obito glanced at Black Zetsu out of the corner of his eye, wondering how Black Zetsu, as the embodiment of Madara's will, would break the deadlock.

And in this process, will he have any chance to remove the curse mark on his heart?

As for Black Zetsu...

At this moment, he knew very well that the situation was close to getting out of control. The Rinnegan was now in Nagato's eye socket, and the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive Madara had become a pipe dream.

Under the watchful eye of Vortex Sora, he had no confidence that he could control him without being detected.

and……

With the discovery of 100,000 White Zetsu by the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the Five Great Shinobi Villages will inevitably have to re-emphasize the power of Akatsuki.

Extensive searches are inevitable, and having the White Eyes scout the underground is a given.

This place... even if it can hide for a while, it will never last long.

Black Zetsu was getting a little annoyed...

For thousands of years, even when Hagoromo was still alive and he was deceiving Indra, he had never felt so frustrated as he did today.

strength……

Black Zetsu looked up at the rock formations above, as if he could see the moon in the sky through them.

Mother……

If you were here, what would these reptilian humans, the descendants of the unfilial son Yu Yi, be?

I will definitely rescue you!

Clenching his fists, Black Zetsu looked at Obito and said in a deep voice, "With your abilities, first control the Jinchuriki of the Tailed Beasts who are scattered outside, and then wait for the right opportunity."

Obito chuckled lightly: "Waiting for what opportunity? Under these circumstances, I don't think we still have a chance. Unless your main body can be resurrected and reclaim the Rinnegan."

Black Zetsu thought for a moment and replied, "The resurrection of the original body is absolute. Nagato's physical condition has been maintained by the Gedo Mazo ever since he was burned by Hanzo's Fire Release.

“Once Uzumaki Sora and Pain are gone, Konan won’t be able to stop us.”

Obito replied, "We haven't seen Nagato in a long time, and we don't know his current physical condition inside that tower."

"Uzumaki Sora possesses a peculiar crystal containing a vast amount of life energy. During the battle at the Sea of ​​the End, I witnessed him using this energy to restore his chakra."

Just as Black Zetsu was about to say something, a White Zetsu clone slowly rose from the ground.

"Guess what I just saw?"

Obito frowned: "If it's something like peeping at someone's poop, then you don't need to say anything. We're not in the mood for your lame jokes right now."

White Zetsu shrugged: "Although my initial goal was indeed to get an analysis report on the urge to defecate, since I was very curious about the state of each of the five great ninja villages when they felt the urge, that's why I went to Konoha to study and analyze it..."

As he continued his long-winded explanation, Obito's expression beneath his mask grew increasingly dark.

Finally, Black Zetsu couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Get to the point!"

White Zetsu's rambling was cut off, and he could only skip over his research report and say, "Amegakure has been discovered by Konoha. During the Second Five Kage Summit, the Fourth Hokage told the other Kage about it."

???

In an instant, Obito and Kuro made eye contact.

The next moment, Black Zetsu's lips curled up, revealing a glint of white: "In this way, the five great ninja villages will inevitably take action against Amegakure. Akatsuki will be in the open."

Obito added, "The Land of Rain has a special meaning for Nagato and Konan. After all, the bond that died, that fool named Yahiko, had the initial will to prevent war from happening in the Land of Rain."

Black Zetsu nodded: "Nagato can't let go of the Land of Rain! With his lair exposed, he has no choice but to move from the shadows to the light."

"And Konoha has someone like Uchiha Kumo. If they start fighting, we might have a chance to wait for an opportunity!"

The possibility of waiting for the right opportunity...

Beneath the mask, Obito frowned.

If Madara Uchiha were resurrected and given the Rinnegan, his power might even surpass that of Uchiha Kumo.

Furthermore... the power of the Ten-Tails, the power of transformation!

If he hadn't destroyed the cursed seal on his heart by then, his fate would have been predictable...

Thinking of this, Obito asked, "Where's Orochimaru? Has he agreed to join us?"

Black Zetsu shook his head slightly: "Orochimaru is not someone who can submit to others, but at this stage he is useful to us, and we are useful to him."

Obito then asked, "Did he teach you that technique for reviving powerful individuals who have already died?"

No.

Black Zetsu looked at Obito as he spoke: "The First Hokage and the Third Raikage in your alternate dimension were both created by him and given to me through the Summoning Jutsu."

"According to the agreement between Orochimaru and Uzumaki Sora regarding their three challenges, he needs us to test the power of his techniques and the speed of Uzumaki Sora's growth."

Upon hearing this, Obito frowned: "In this way, the technique will not be under our control, and he will want to jump out of this game at any time."

Black Zetsu shook his head: "No. Some things, the moment he's ready to try, is the moment he loses. But for someone like him, what I give him will inevitably become his obsession..."

"The Impure World Reincarnation technique is not something that cannot be dispelled by oneself. And coincidentally, as the only enemy of the Senju clan in the past, my original body has the corresponding measures."

As soon as he finished speaking, Obito understood Black Zetsu's meaning.

Since Nagato's Rinne Rebirth technique was out of the question, the only option was to use White Zetsu, who possessed Hashirama's cell energy, as a sacrifice and employ the Impure World Reincarnation technique to awaken Madara Uchiha's power as much as possible.

Obito's face was grim beneath the mask.

He was unfamiliar with the Impure World Reincarnation technique, its requirements, and how to resurrect Madara to be close to his peak condition. Apart from White Zetsu, he knew nothing about any of these things.

In addition...

Referring to the Wood Release of the First Hokage and the power of the Third Raikage, it seems that bloodline limit abilities can also be retained upon resurrection.

So... will the Rinnegan also appear in Madara's eyes after he is resurrected?

Even with the abilities of Hollowfication and Word of Destiny, without absorbing the Ten-Tails to become its Jinchūriki, he still lacked confidence when facing Madara.

However, to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, one must first remove the cursed seal from the heart.

After a long silence, Obito finally spoke, asking, "When will we begin our plan to collect the Tailed Beasts?"

Black Zetsu grinned and said, "The Five Great Shinobi Villages are unaware that you and I left Akatsuki. We're just using Akatsuki's name to put up the pressure on them."

"When the Allied Forces are overwhelming Amegakure, we should take advantage of the chaos to control and gather a few of them. As for the Jinchūriki who were already scattered, we can deal with them a little later."

Obito replied, "I understand. However... the Three-Tails hasn't been revived yet. It might take another year or two."
