Uchiha's personal opinion

Uchiha Tokumitsu took a deep breath, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes spun rapidly, once again condensing the Susanoo statue. Then, he controlled his wings and with a shout, flew out of the deep pit with the Gedo Mazo!

"He's ignoring me! He's completely disregarding me!"

Seeing Uchiha Tokumitsu fly away on Susanoo, the proud and arrogant Sasori couldn't help but feel his blood rush to his head. Coupled with the restraining effect of the sealing technique on his body, his blood surged to his heart, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted from anger!

From this point on, Black Zetsu's lair was officially and completely destroyed!

……

"Chief of the Watergate Department!"

Blackie, who was enduring the long days of immigration detention, suddenly felt a strange unease, as if something bad was about to happen.

So it started banging on the fence of the isolation ward, shouting that it wanted to see the warden.

"You think you can just see the Watergate Chief whenever you want!"

The police ninja stationed at the immigration detention center immediately shouted, "If you continue to cause trouble, I will revoke your entry permit!"

"Then you'll have no choice but to go back to the wilderness and live a precarious life!"

"...I just want to know when I will be free."

Black Zetsu immediately put on a pitiful expression and said...

"Police regulations stipulate a processing time of seven days! You can be released in two more days at most!"

"I can't believe it," the police ninja said impatiently, then turned and left.

"Should we go back and take a look...?"

Although the police department ninja's words seemed flawless, Black Zetsu remained uneasy.

But if he were to escape now, the five days he had been detained would have been wasted.

Moreover, it will be even more difficult to infiltrate Uchiha Tokumitsu's side again at that time!

So, for the sake of the nine-tailed beast and for his mother, Black Zetsu gritted his teeth, ignored his inner unease, and continued to pretend to be fast asleep.

……

The day after Black Zetsu's stronghold in the Land of Snow was destroyed, and the sixth day of Black Zetsu's detention and interrogation, Black Zetsu, who had been waiting anxiously, finally saw Minato Namikaze with a big smile on his face again.

Good morning, Director Watergate!

Black Zetsu immediately got up and loudly greeted Minato Namikaze.

"...You're too kind."

Minato Namikaze chuckled somewhat awkwardly, "From now on, we'll all be His Majesty's subordinates..."

"Did my identity document pass the verification?"

Black Zetsu was overjoyed.

"Hey~ I've already given you your ID, these past few days have just been about going through the formalities and completing some procedures."

Minato Namikaze apologized for his 'negligence' over the past two days: "Please forgive me if I haven't taken care of you properly!"

"You're too kind..."

Black Zetsu then immediately adopted a fearful and apprehensive demeanor.

"Come with me, His Majesty wishes to see you."

Minato Namikaze personally opened the gate to the isolation room and spoke in a friendly manner.

"...Don't I need to go into the cage?"

Black Zetsu shifted his body somewhat awkwardly.

Having spent countless years in the dark, it was no longer used to walking in the sunlight.

"That won't do. You're already a standard citizen of the Shinobi World Government. You can't be treated like a criminal or an illegal monster!"

Minato Namikaze said righteously.

"Chief of the Watergate..."

Hearing this, Black Zetsu was also somewhat moved: "You're actually a pretty good person!"

Minato Namikaze smiled without saying a word.

However, he silently thought to himself, if Little Blackie can still laugh later, then it can only be said that it is indeed powerful!

Meanwhile, Black Zetsu, overjoyed and feeling that his plan had succeeded, cheerfully donned a cloak and swaggered into the sunlight behind Minato Namikaze.

It must be said that Konoha, as the seat of the Ninja World Government, is indeed exceptionally prosperous. Even Black Zetsu, who is obsessed with scheming and plotting, found it fascinating and dazzling.

Not long after, Minato Namikaze brought Black Zetsu to the temporary palace that had been converted from the former Konoha Governor's Office and registered for their visit.

Black Zetsu then wrote down his name with a flourish of his pen—Little Black!

Although the Uchiha ninja in charge of the guard duty thought the name sounded a bit like a nickname for a cat or dog, he didn't ask any questions since Black Zetsu's identification was also signed in that way, and let him pass directly.

"The security is really tight..."

Although Black Zetsu walked along the palace corridor with his eyes fixed on the ground, he was also secretly observing and sensing everything around him.

As the residence of the Great Emperor before the completion of the Imperial Palace, the palace was filled with hidden sentries and various sealing barriers. Hei Jue felt that even he would find it extremely difficult to escape from such a heavily guarded place.

"Something feels off..."

Black Zetsu became even more uneasy.

However, when the time came, there was no turning back, so Black Zetsu gritted his teeth and stepped into the elevator, ascending straight to Uchiha Tokumitsu's office.

Minato Namikaze gestured for Black Zetsu to wait a moment, then knocked on the door, announced his purpose, and beckoned Black Zetsu inside.

The office door slammed shut with a bang!

Black Zetsu shuddered in fright!

But that wasn't all. After looking around the office, Black Zetsu was so frightened that his scalp tingled!

"Nagato..."

What are you doing here?!

"And she even dyed her hair black!"

"This is just the external effect of the Fire Release sealing technique, nothing to be alarmed about..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu stood up and walked behind Nagato, who was sitting on the tatami mat. He placed his hands on Nagato's shoulders and said with a smile, "By the way, should I call you Black Zetsu?"

Upon hearing this, even someone as resolute as Hei Jue nearly fainted from fright!

"This...this..."

At this moment, Black Zetsu noticed that Nagato's eyes had changed!

Why is it red?!

"How can it be the Sharingan?!"

"Two tomoe, not bad, right... These eyes are one of the few spare parts of the Uchiha clan. They were voluntarily given by a certain hero before his death so that the clan's descendants could see the light again. Now that they're being used on Nagato, I'm actually losing out a bit..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said with a smile, "Moreover, with Nagato's strength, he should be able to evolve those eyes to the three-tomoe state. Although not being able to close the tomoe state will continuously consume chakra, I think that shouldn't be a problem for a Uzumaki clan member who claims to be a descendant of Uchiha Madara!"

Finished!

Now, Black Zetsu was truly devastated!

It is absolutely certain that during the few days it was dutifully staying in immigration detention, its hideout was raided!

So……

My Rinnegan! My Gedo Mazo! My White Zetsu! My tool Nagato! And those hidden ninjutsu treasures of Madara Uchiha!

Gone!

I'm so angry I could die!

"No need to rush off..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu said leisurely, "I also wanted to talk to you about Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Goddess of the Rabbit..."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu immediately halted his attempt to break the seal and escape by drawing upon his life-saving forces.

"you……"

But it's hard to believe your ears.

"As the youngest son of the Goddess of Rabbit, you surely know your mother's name, right?"

Uchiha Tokumitsu said, "But that's not surprising, considering your brother didn't recognize you last time either, did he?"

Black Zetsu was dumbfounded!

"Oh, right, there's one more question..."

Uchiha Tokumitsu patted Nagato on the shoulder: "This child... why does he call our clan's ancestor, Uchiha Madara, whom I beat half to death, 'father'?"

"How exactly did you educate him?"

"Can you tell me?"

Faced with Uchiha Tokumitsu's death stare and Nagato's expectant gaze, Black Zetsu opened and closed his mouth several times, but could only make 'abba aba' sounds, unable to say anything coherent.

What on earth is going on?!

Wasn't he the mastermind behind the ninja world? How come he's being so easily manipulated now!

Black Zetsu actually wanted to escape.

But now that the Nine-Tailed Beast and the Gedo Statue are in the hands of Uchiha Tokumitsu, if it wants to rescue its mother...

Therefore, Black Zetsu bowed his head.

Chapter 479 Bowing in Worship

When the moment came, Black Zetsu suddenly realized that it wasn't actually that hard to accept.

But it merely bowed its head, not kneeling in worship like a courtier of a dynasty.

"Madara Uchiha's plans have been shattered like a dream, and your scheme, which you've been plotting since ancient times, has also completely failed..."
