Nagato, Obito, Madara-What Kind of Pieces Are These?!

Click.

A beaker fell to the ground and shattered.

Yakushi Nonou.

He had almost forgotten the name.

Yakushi Kabuto never imagined that he would hear news about Dean Yakushi Nonou, especially news from the Underworld.

The headmistress who had tenderly raised him still thought about him after her death, to the point that her own name became an obsession that her soul could not escape.

Yeah, that seems pretty normal.

Because when that gentle woman died, she didn't even know the truth, she couldn't even recognize who her child was. Her only memory was a fake photograph, and her only wish was a false fantasy. "What happened?"

Shirou Emiya seemed to be acting somewhat differently from Yakushi Kabuto.

"No, it's okay—"

Yakushi Kabuto felt that he might be somewhat wolfish.

For people in this world...

It is a painful thing that the soul of the dead cannot be released.

If Yakushi Nonou's soul is trapped between life and death and unable to go to the Underworld for liberation because of her obsession with him, how can he turn a blind eye to this!

Since Yakushi Nonou's death, this silver-haired youth thought his heart had long since become numb. Now, his heart has started beating again, and it even feels a little painful, making his heart, which he thought was empty, seem to have regained its emotions.

Yakushi Kabuto felt a sense of panic, as if a gale was tearing at his heart, trying to rush into it.

The silver-haired youth quickly squatted down to pick up the broken glass, while subconsciously trying to ask some questions about Yakushi Nonou.

"Lord Shirou— "

"Did Dean Nonō mention anything?"

Yakushi Kabuto did not doubt the truthfulness of Shirou Emiya's words Yakushi Kabuto knew that Shirou Emiya and Yakushi Nonou could never meet in the present world, and that the only place they might meet was in the afterlife.

Yakushi Kabuto desperately hoped that Shirou Emiya was lying to him, but the other man's noble character made it impossible for him to be deceived.

"You've said a lot, haven't you?"

"After all, I'm also very curious about stories in the real world."

"For example, regarding Danzo—."

"For example, you're a sensible but somewhat disobedient child." Towards the end, all that remained was the thought of a child named Yakushi Kabuto leaving the Dark Root; her obsession was probably wanting to see you one last time.

"Is that so?"

Yakushi Kabuto gripped the shard of glass tightly in his hand.

"But."

"She probably doesn't have much of a chance."

Shirou Emiya's words made Yakushi Kabuto's heart tighten.

"What!"

Yakushi Kabuto suddenly raised his head.

"No way."

However, Shirou Emiya's next words completely relieved Yakushi Kabuto, who sighed as if with some helplessness, "Although her soul longed to remain in that desolate place to wait for your response after your death, in order to prevent her soul from becoming completely lost, and to prevent the Death Reaper from devouring her soul while wandering, I had no choice but to send her soul back to the Netherworld Pure Land for release..."

"Your hand."

Shirou Emiya noticed the bloodstains on the ground, and a shimmering green Chakra appeared in his palm.

He began treating the wound on the Yakushi Kabuto's palm.

"It seems you two have a very deep relationship."

Shirou Emiya seemed to see through Yakushi Kabuto's thoughts and calmly said, "Perhaps I shouldn't have meddled. Maybe your death will help resolve her obsession."

"No.."

Yakushi Kabuto had only a bitter smile on his face. He quickly shook his head and looked at Shirou Emiya, who had treated him. "I should be thanking Lord Shirou."

"The dean was a kind person throughout his life."

"The best outcome would be for her soul to be freed as soon as possible."

"It doesn't matter."

Emiya Tsuchihara didn't care about Yakushi Kabuto's gratitude. He checked that the wound on Yakushi Kabuto's hand had healed before continuing in a cold voice, "For me, it was just a matter of convenience. It just so happens that the people she met in her life overlapped with the people I met in my life, which is why she seems a bit special. I just happened to remember her name."

"But for us—"

Yakushi Kabuto instinctively wanted to express his gratitude.

"Alright."

Shirou Emiya interrupted Yakushi Kabuto, stopping the conversation abruptly, and asked, "Speaking of which, have there been any new advancements in medicine?"

?

Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.

Fortunately.

Shirou Emiya was already used to the shame these medical ninjas felt.

In the days that followed, Yakushi Kabuto treated Shirou Emiya with increasing respect, and he strictly followed Orochimaru's instructions to bring Shihara Shirou Emiya Hashirama Cells.

"Hashirama's cells represent the pinnacle of Yang Release Chakra, requiring powerful Yin Release Chakra to neutralize them. It's normal that your experiment failed."

Shirou Emiya was also generous with his teachings to Yakushi Kabuto. He took this opportunity, without Yakushi Kabuto's knowledge, to use Hashirama Cells to enhance the power of his Impure World Reincarnation Body, so that he would be strong enough to stand in this era.

Yakushi Kabuto was very satisfied with being taught by Shirou Emiya. During this time, his progress in Medical Ninjutsu was rapid. In addition, Shirou Emiya's gentle treatment of him made him feel as if he had returned to the time when he was being taught by the headmaster in the Orphanage.

Compared to Yakushi Kabuto's gains, Orochimaru was inevitably itching to get his hands on the Orochimaru.

For a science fanatic obsessed with knowledge and power, nothing is more exciting than having an unknown treasure trove of knowledge laid out before him.

If it weren't for the Akatsuki's unexpectedly abundant experimental funding, coupled with Orochimaru's interest in Rinnegan, Orochimaru would have loved to abandon the organization and immediately follow Emiya Shirou Emiya to extract the knowledge he had acquired.

In particular, it's true that Shirou Emiya was quite knowledgeable about souls!

Orochimaru secretly instructed Yakushi Kabuto take the opportunity to test Shirou Emiya's research on the soul. As a result, Shirou Emiya had never come into contact with the immortality technique left behind by the Second Hokage Living Corpse Reincarnation, but he proposed the concept of the Living Corpse Reincarnation and even created the prototype and theoretical basis of the Living Corpse Reincarnation in a short period of time!

This-.

The temptation is too great!

However·

Orochimaru knew nothing about it.

His actions were all under the watchful eyes of others.

There was someone within the Akatsuki who found the news of Shirou Emiya's resurrection even more unbearable than him; he was the one who truly longed for Shirou Emiya's resurrection.

Inside the dark cave.

A black and white monster lurked underground, wearing a Cloud Pattern Black Robe. It was the combined form of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.

Since Madara Uchiha could not ultimately resist the passing of life, he combined the Black Zetsu and White Zetsu bodies together before his death, so that they could easily guide his pawns to carry out his plans.

"I just received a message from a clone."

White Zetsu, somewhat bewildered, informed Black Zetsu of the news. "The clone we had monitoring Lord Shirou reported that Orochimaru secretly resurrected Lord Shirou using the Impure World Reincarnation. What should we do now—"

"Wei Yuan is back?"

A hint of joy flashed across half of Black Zetsu's face.

For Black Zetsu, nothing was more important than news of Shirou Emiya!

No matter if it's Madara Uchiha or his Nagato Madara Uchiha Obito Uchiha, they are far less important than the news about Shirou Emiya!

In particular, Black Zetsu knew that Shirou Emiya had returned to the Underworld and brought back information about his nemesis, the Sage of Six Paths!

That's why...

Black Zetsu kept a close eye on Shirou Emiya's corpse.

Even after learning that Shirou Emiya's body was in Orochimaru's hands and that Orochimaru was researching the Impure World Reincarnation, it kept trying to get the Akatsuki to allocate more experimental funds to Orochimaru, secretly assisting Orochimaru in mastering the Impure World Reincarnation as soon as possible and resurrecting Shirou Emiya World Reincarnation!

Result-

Orochimaru secretly embezzled experimental funds to research his own immortality technique, and even used the funds to expand his experimental base.

This embezzlement of funds truly infuriated and angered Black Zetsu Orochimaru. Sometimes Black Knight thought Orochimaru's intellect might one day rival Shirou Emiya's human experimentation techniques, while other times he felt Orochimaru's vulgar pursuits and low moral character were utterly inferior to even a fraction of Emiya Tsuchihara's.

Now·

Shirou Emiya is back!

No more putting up with Orochimaru!

"Go see him!"

Black Zetsu didn't want to wait a moment longer. It desperately wanted to get information about the Sage of Six Paths from Shirou Emiya and hoped to persuade him to take charge of the Infinite Tsukuyomi Shirou Emiya again!

Madara Uchiha...

Before he died, he found a pawn named Obito Uchiha, but this pawn, Obito Uchiha, turned out to be a complete idiot!

So far, there has been no sign of the plan being implemented.

Even the Akatsuki was still at the stage of relying on commissioned fundraising.

Although Obito Uchiha, this pawn, always believed that he was guiding the Akatsuki and was the true mastermind behind it, the Akatsuki had only taken in a bunch of scoundrels who were doing trivial things every day, and they even made him gather information for a few requests!

What kind of chess pieces are these?

Compared to Emiya Tsuchihara, who was never guided by him and nearly destroyed the Ninja Sect in Ancient Era single-handedly, Obito Uchiha seemed so useless that Black Zetsu felt his future was somewhat bleak over the years. Apart from a strange Mangekyo Sharingan ability, there was nothing about Obito Uchiha that Black Zetsu thought was worth showing.

They don't even have basic human morality!

He was completely outmatched by Shirou Emiya in every aspect!

"No one is more important Wei Yuan!"

"Whether it's Nagato, Obito, or even Madara!"

"In front of Wei Yuan, all these pieces are expendable on our side!"

Black Zetsu's attitude was resolute, a sinister smirk even playing on its face. "Wei Yuan is back. It's time to persuade him to take back control of our plans!"

If Shirou Emiya to meet the Sage of Six Paths again, he would still be easily persuaded by him, just as he had in the past.

It can even immediately control Nagato to completely revive Shirou Emiya!

If Shirou Emiya fully revived, with his full power, collecting the Tailed Beast would be a piece of cake, and I could use him to revive Kaguya!

However-

Black Zetsu never expected there to be an even bigger surprise.

Shirou Emiya, resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, can still use the power of the Rinnegan, even though it's a fake Rinnegan, it's still unmatched by anyone else in this era.

Compared to the surprise mentioned by Black Zetsu Shirou Emiya seems to have undergone an even greater change than the Rinnegan.

Taking advantage of the time when Yakushi Kabuto was not in the Underground Fortress, Shirou Emiya and Black Zetsu had the opportunity to meet and fulfill the promise that had been made forty years ago.

Compared to four thousand years ago, they have actually undergone some changes.

For example, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu formed a fusion.

For example, when Shirou Emiya met Black Zetsu, his expression subtly sharpened, no longer resembling the compassionate and merciful man he once was.

Shirou Emiya now more like a drawn blade. It's clear that the events of Tobirama Senju's use of the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, the three Shinobi World War, or perhaps other things, have changed this kind-hearted medical ninja's perception of the world.

Shirou Emiya's expression was somewhat cold, and his deathly gaze as he looked at the Impure World Reincarnation Body made even Black Zetsu feel a sense of fear and unease.

"Long time no see, Black Zetsu."
