Uchiha's personal opinion

"...Your brain wasn't damaged by Uchiha Tokuko, was it?"

Black Zetsu feigned a surprised expression. "Oh, I remember now, Lord Madara forgot to install a brain in you. Your skull is empty!"

As for why Afei said those words, Black Zetsu had no intention of investigating at all.

To this old fox, Ah Fei is a brainless idiot who is utterly useless except for possessing some negligible power.

After all, even the reincarnation of Indra was completely fooled by it, let alone a mere man-made weapon.

No! This time is different!

Ah Fei continued in a high-pitched and passionate tone, "I've found a wonderful place that can serve as our new base!"

"And it's also very suitable for planting White Zetsu!"

"...Where are you referring to?"

Hearing this, Black Zetsu became interested.

"Bird Kingdom!"

Ah Fei said smugly.

Ever since Uchiha Tokumitsu cut off half of his body, Tobi felt that his mind had suddenly become sharper, and he could understand things that he couldn't figure out before after thinking about them for a little while.

Black Zetsu? How laughable! How can he compare to me, the wise and resourceful minister entrusted by Lord Madara?

"You must be referring to the Bird Country, right?"

Black Zetsu calmly replied, then picked up the rag and continued wiping the Gedo Mazo.

He shouldn't have listened to a single word Ah Fei said! It was pure spiritual pollution!

"That's right, that's right. We'll move this big guy over there too, and plant it in the fertile land of the Bird Country. Maybe it can grow without the tailed beasts!"

Afei said excitedly.

Black Zetsu ignored him and continued to carefully wipe away the stains on the Gedo Mazo with a rag.

Although the underground caves of the Land of Snow were extremely cold and damp, and the stalactites above the caves dripped water droplets mixed with mud and ash all year round, Black Zetsu still persisted in doing this seemingly meaningless thing.

Moving house, planting demonic statues—to Black Zetsu, all of that was pure wishful thinking!

"Hey! Kuroko!"

Unable to get what he wanted, Ah Fei finally became unhappy, baring his teeth and yelling, "Are you even listening to me?"

When exactly are you planning to move?

"Oh right, where's that red-haired brat? I need to take him with me!"

"you dare!"

Black Zetsu couldn't help but throw down the rag and shouted menacingly, "I am the embodiment of Lord Madara's will, and all actions must be under my command! Are you trying to rebel?"

"rua!"

Afei jumped up and yelled, "You're such a failure! How dare you mention Lord Ban! I think you're up to no good!"

"You bullshit!"

Black Zetsu immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"You are!"

Ah Fei waved his hands and feet wildly and jumped around non-stop.

Why has this guy suddenly become so difficult to deal with...?

While refuting Afei's point of view, Black Zetsu pondered the changes in this idiot.

In its view, Ah Fei is absolutely abnormal now!

Because it seems like it suddenly developed a brain!

Although its various nonsensical arguments are full of errors, at least they are starting to have some logic!

Logic is a product of thinking!

If White Zetsu could think, that would be terrible!

Who would be willing to dedicate themselves to the great Eye of the Moon in the future?

"The Akatsuki base in the Land of Birds was recently wiped out by the Uchiha's counter-terrorism forces. They're in the eye of the storm right now. Moving there would be suicide!"

Black Zetsu retorted.

"I read a novel yesterday..."

With a grin, Afei pulled a novel titled "The Tale of Perseverance" from his pocket, then cleared his throat in a serious manner and read a sentence from it: "...the most dangerous place is the safest place!"

"Therefore, the fact that the Bird Kingdom is dangerous means that the Bird Kingdom is very safe!"

"What kind of bullshit logic is that!"

Black Zetsu snapped irritably, "You wrote this book, didn't you? He and his organization have been wiped out!"

"You believe that? So you're the traitor, right? You're going to hand us all over to Uchiha Tokumitsu, aren't you?"

Black Zetsu also launched a fierce counterattack.

Although it once thought of giving a gift to Uchiha Tokumitsu, who was worshipping the Great Mother, and then having a heartfelt conversation, so that the descendants of Indra would bow down in worship, wouldn't that be wonderful?

But this was just wishful thinking. Although Black Zetsu had made some small arrangements, he was still observing Uchiha Tokumitsu very carefully and had no intention of showing himself for the time being.

After all, we must observe not only their actions but also their words.

But in any case, it is still the embodiment of Madara's will! On the surface, it has not betrayed its master; and it cannot abandon the Gedo Mazo and the Rinnegan to go see Uchiha Tokumitsu, otherwise it would be all over if it messed up.

You must listen to me!

Afei's eyes darted around, but he still wouldn't let it go, "Go to the Bird Kingdom! Go to the most dangerous place! Go and establish our Promised Land!"

"For Lord Madara, for the Eye of the Moon! We must grow strong in a warm place! To enjoy the nourishment of water and fertile soil!"

"Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, are they born with a special destiny?!"

Afei raised his arms and shouted, and the other White Zetsu who had been silently watching the show immediately started yelling and echoing his words.

"...We can build a branch base, but the Gedo Statue and Nagato cannot go there!"

Helpless, Black Zetsu had no choice but to back down after seeing that Tobi had already begun to summon Wood Release.

"...Bai Juexin has fallen apart, and the team is becoming increasingly difficult to lead!"

Seeing the White Zetsu making a ruckus, Black Zetsu couldn't help but sigh.

"rua!"

Afei jumped up excitedly, "I knew Kuroko was Madara-sama's will! As long as I figured it out, I could make the right decision!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Black Zetsu replied dismissively, "You're absolutely right!"

So, if it weren't for your Wood Release, you brainless idiot would have already committed suicide!

However, Ah Fei's changes might be related to the fact that half of his body was cut off...

Thinking about this, Black Zetsu decided to cut off a dozen more White Zetsu tonight to see if crippling someone really made it hard for them to grow brains.

……

After the Akatsuki base was destroyed, the ninja forces of the joint counter-terrorism unit completely withdrew from the territory of the Land of Birds after clearing the battlefield, and the Iwagakure, which had avoided war and protected its ninjas, finally returned and redeployed its defenses.

Life was tough for Iwagakure. Due to the economic burden of their extremely militaristic expansion of the ninja army, ordinary Iwagakure ninja lived a meager existence. In addition, the Land of Birds was an impoverished place with little to no profit to be made. Therefore, they began to take an interest in the remnants of battlefields that they had previously disdained. As a result, the Akatsuki base became a place for some Iwagakure ninja to venture into caves in search of treasure.

But for Tobi, who had excitedly arrived with a group of ordinary White Zetsu, the Iwagakure ninjas scurrying around underground were extremely annoying!

Although the White Zetsu are skilled at concealing their movements, it's not a good idea to let them constantly operate under the noses of ninjas! Who knows if a Hidden Stone Ninja with a sensory specialization might suddenly discover their presence!

"We need to brainstorm and discuss together how to get rid of those annoying Iwagakure ninja!"

Afei excitedly gathered a group of White Zetsu together, mimicking the manner of high-ranking officers in the counter-terrorism unit during a meeting, and said in a serious tone: "I'm not a domineering guy like Blackie, so everyone can say whatever they want, and I will absolutely not punish you for your words!"

"Flood the cave with excrement!"

A white Zetsu with barbs on its head cried out excitedly.

This was subsequently echoed by a group of White Zetsu.

"Scare them away by dressing up as ghosts in the cave!"

Another white zetsu shouted, while its body constantly changed colors, transforming into different demonic and monster shapes.

"it is good!"

The White Zetsu then started to jeer.

Each White Zetsu then put forward its idea, which was then agreed upon by the other White Zetsu.

Although the White Zetsu's remarks may seem ridiculous to outsiders, they can also enjoy being admired and admiring others.

Afei also enthusiastically echoed the various whimsical ideas of the White Zetsu.

"Kill them, then disguise yourself as them and infiltrate Iwagakure!"

One of the White Zetsu exclaimed, "And their bodies can also be used to create new White Zetsu!"

"Excellent!"

This time, Ah Fei stopped just clapping and cheering and started to show his approval.

"Let me see……"

Afei pulled out a copy of "The Sayings of Deguang" published by United Company from his pocket and began to read: "Our dominance in the ninja world relies on three things—many people, much money, and many friends!"

So~

With a snarling laugh, Afei put away the books he treasured. "We're going to turn Iwagakure into our village and get lots and lots of White Zetsu!"

"So many White Zetsu! So many White Zetsu!"

The White Zetsu immediately cheered with joy.

They don't care what the significance of this choice and its subsequent execution is.

What the White Zetsu enjoy is the freedom they have after being freed from the control of the Black Zetsu. They can play with feces at will, transform into other people at will, and spy on other people's secrets.
