When someone is disliked by others, everything they do is wrong, and even their friends are wrong.

The Mysterious Masked Man didn't consider the Uchiha to be his friends, but he did have a vague feeling that he and Itachi Uchiha were mistaken for being there.

What the hell!

Does Black Zetsu want to betray me?!

But this doesn't seem like betrayal...

Because Black Zetsu is the will left behind by Shirou Emiya.

It's perfectly normal for this pitch-black monster to be loyal to its master, and it's equally understandable that it would want to betray and abandon him for that reason.

Did they really think that Shirou Emiya's resurrection gave them someone to back them up and embolden them?

This guy had never dared to treat him like this before!

The Mysterious Masked Man glanced at Black Zetsu's sinister profile and replied coldly, "Itachi is the manpower needed to carry out Akatsuki's plan."

"Itachi killed his entire clan."

"Konoha has already issued Wanted List for him as missing-nin. Unless Konoha is out of their mind, there is no way he could be a spy sent by Konoha."

The Mysterious Masked Man was highly suspicious of Itachi Uchiha's motives for joining the Akatsuki, but at this moment he had to protect Itachi Uchiha and also wanted to maintain his own dignity.

"Isn't there still one survivor from the Uchiha?"

Black Zetsu's smile immediately became even more sinister.

Itachi Uchiha instinctively clenched his fist.

"That's his younger brother."

"It was also a spare he kept for the Mangekyo Sharingan."

The Mysterious Masked Man grew increasingly dissatisfied and tried to defend Itachi Uchiha, saying, "Itachi has already awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan and is also suffering from the Mangekyo Sharingan."

"Itachi wanted his younger brother to awaken the same Mangekyo Sharingan in the future, so he could steal his brother's Mangekyo Sharingan to boost his eye power and unlock a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that would never go blind."

"It was precisely in order to obtain the power of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan that Itachi chose to kill all his clansmen, in order to stimulate the hatred and pain in his younger brother's heart."

Black Zetsu was speechless for a moment.

Because the Mysterious Masked Man's reasons were quite valid.

"How?"

A crimson killing intent flashed in the Mysterious Masked Man's eyes as he coldly retorted, "Do you think that now that your master has been resurrected, you no longer need me to carry out your plans?"

As the Mysterious Masked Man thought of this, his voice suddenly turned sinister, and he no longer concealed his identity. "I represent the will of Madara!"

Yes.

There's no need to hide it anymore.

Since Shirou Emiya must have known his background after returning from the Underworld, he wouldn't need to use Madara Uchiha's name to conceal his identity.

After all, in the past, impersonating Madara Uchiha and acting in Madara Uchiha's name was only to subdue Nagato and Konan. Now that Nagato and Konan have pledged allegiance to Shirou Emiya, perhaps the latter may already know his true identity.

Itachi Uchiha glanced at the Mysterious Masked Man with a strange expression.

The meaning of this sentence

This guy was never Madara Uchiha?

So who exactly is this clansman whose identity has never been revealed?

"Black Zetsu, let them come over."

63

Shirou Emiya's voice was exceptionally gentle compared to Black Zetsu's questioning; he seemed unconcerned about such matters. "He represents Madara's will. Madara and I are allies in this matter, and we never intended for Madara to be absent from the Eternal Peace Plan."

Zetsu's figure slowly parted, "Show some respect to Lord Shirou."

The true form of White Zetsu once again reminded the Mysterious Masked Man.

"Snort·

The Mysterious Masked Man stomped forward unhappily.

As Itachi Uchiha pondered this, he followed behind the Mysterious Masked Man.

Although Itachi Uchiha could vaguely sense a peaceful aura, his vigilance was already at its highest level.

After all, they were going to meet a very important person.

A great figure whose history is even longer than that of ninjas, yet Itachi Uchiha is somewhat different.

When they finally met Shirou Emiya, they saw this great man looking like a scholar, holding a pen and writing something on a blank scroll.

"Give them two cups of sugarcane juice."

Without looking up, Shirou Emiya added, his body shrouded in the dim candlelight, seemingly still focused on his work. "Excuse me, please sit down for a moment. Your arguing just now was a bit distracting."

Itachi Uchiha felt an uncontrollable calm within him.

Although the other person seemed as gentle as a character from a bedtime story, making one unconsciously want to feel good towards them, and even a little worried about disturbing them.

However, once you think about how deeply the other party is involved in the conspiracy of the Mysterious Masked Man, and how the resurrection directly took away the power of the Mysterious Masked Man, you feel a sense of disconnect and it is hard to imagine that the other party is the legendary saint.

Real.

Unimaginable.

Perhaps the entire Shinobi World cannot imagine this.

A saint who left behind a legacy of medical ninjas for future generations, and also a dark organization that secretly controls a huge conspiracy.

"Snort."

The Mysterious Masked Man snorted coldly, sat down on his own, and even took off his mask without caring, revealing a broken face.

One side of his face looked completely unharmed, while the other side was covered in scars. One eye socket contained Mangekyo Sharingan, while the other was a regular Sharingan that he had transplanted.

"Jue mentioned it to me—"

As Shirou Emiya continued writing and drawing on the scroll, he casually asked, "You are Madara's successor, and your name is Obito Uchiha?"

"Snort-"

Obito Uchiha's expression was not good; he seemed too lazy to answer such a basic question, and it was clearly impossible for him to show respect to Shirou Emiya, who had seized control.

His arrogance wouldn't allow him to bow down to Shirou Emiya!

Even if Madara Uchiha were to be resurrected, Obito Uchiha would not allow the control of the plan to fall into the hands of Madara Uchiha, who guided him, let alone just Shirou Emiya!

"Obito Uchiha"

Itachi Uchiha was startled.

He had heard of this name before.

When Konoha held a memorial service for the heroes of the Third Shinobi World War, the Uchiha Clan talked about Obito Uchiha.

Obito Uchiha was a hero of the Third Shinobi World War. He died in the great battle between Konoha and Hidden Stone Village. Before his death, he entrusted one of his Sharingan to his friend Kakashi Hatake, which caused controversy within the Uchiha Clan. Surprisingly, he survived!

Obito Uchiha coldly at Shirou Emiya and questioned in a deep voice, "I just want to know what you really mean. A resurrected dead man has taken away my control of the Akatsuki. Are you really not trying to kick me and Madara out of the plan?"

Obito Uchiha's eyes were fixed on Shirou Emiya in the shadows, as if trying to discern his intentions. "Or perhaps, you want to control that power?"

Although their plans and goals are the same...

However, Obito Uchiha refused to believe Shirou Emiya.

Because the controller of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan can not only determine the future of the Shinobi World, but also gain power surpassing that of all ninjas during the execution of this plan, Obito Uchiha had to suspect the other party's intentions.

"Don't worry."

"I'm not interested in that power."

Shirou Emiya slightly raised his head, his eyes lifting slightly to reveal the Rinnegan within them, staring intently at Obito Uchiha: "The power you crave, I already obtained an even more powerful one in Ancient Era."

"An innocent child—"

Black Zetsu's voice couldn't help but mock Obito Uchiha, and even the Uchiha Clan: "The Mangekyo Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan is as short-sighted as ever." Black Zetsu's mockery was merciless, and he also took the opportunity to praise his favorite pawn, "Wei Yuan-sama never had that power. What he wanted was eternal peace in this world. With your limited vision, do you think you can fathom his capacity?"

"The Rinnegan!"

Obito Uchiha's expression suddenly changed.

The appearance of those Rinnegan made him indifferent to Black Zetsu's mockery!

What the hell is this?!

Why Shirou Emiya a pair of Rinnegan?

This Ancient Era relic is not only skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, but also possesses terrifying strength. The Rinnegan must represent immense power, and his strength is insufficient to support Rinnegan!

This kind of thing—

Why didn't Madara Uchiha mention it?

But-

Obito Uchiha, however, was not afraid.

Because he awakened a magical Mangekyo Sharingan ability on his own.

This ability allows him to ignore all attacks from the Shinobi World, making him virtually invincible in any battle.

Obito Uchiha realized what was happening and immediately glared fiercely at Zetsu, only to be met with concern from White Zetsu and mockery from Black Zetsu.

Compared to Obito Uchiha shock followed by composure, Itachi Uchiha's mood was far less at ease. The moment he saw the Rinnegan, his body tensed up instinctively!

Those were a pair—

Eyes more terrifying than the Mangekyo Sharingan!

Even just one glance was enough to make Itachi Uchiha's mind want to be deeply drawn to it; he knew that the other party's strength must be far superior to his own!

"Snort-"

"I see."

Obito Uchiha's mood completely calmed down. He subconsciously crossed his legs and said coldly, "Since you don't care about that power, that makes things easier—"

"We'll do it the same way you did with Ban."

Obito Uchiha, as if he had regained control, arrogantly assigned tasks to each other. "You continue to be your medical ninja saint in the Shinobi World, and I will continue to be responsible for executing that plan. You don't need to interfere with the Akatsuki's affairs."

"Hehehehe, Obito."

Black Zetsu, unable to tolerate his arrogance any longer, mocked him again. "I put you in charge of executing the plan, but it seems you haven't done a very good job—"

"Now-"

As Black Zetsu spoke, his face turned sinister. "If you want that plan to succeed, all you need to do is carry out Wei Yuan-sama's wishes!"

"Black Zetsu!"

A surge of anger suddenly rose in Obito Uchiha's chest. He believed that he had already made enough concessions today!

Black Zetsu such a bastard!

They've started swaggering around just because they're relying on Shirou Emiya!

Obito Uchiha felt that he had tolerated Black Zetsu's malice for long enough today. If it weren't for the fact that Black Zetsu was Shirou Emiya, he would have already taken action!

You are nothing more than his will!

"Besides, do you really think that just because this old resurrected and possesses the Rinnegan, he can seize control of that plan?"

Itachi Uchiha's expression was subtly strange.

Because he hadn't expected that Obito Uchiha, who wanted to bring him into the organization, seemed rather incompetent. It seemed that he had only just begun to join when he was about to witness an infighting among the upper echelons of Akatsuki. "Quiet down."

"Don't let the newcomers laugh at us."

Shirou Emiya seemed to notice Itachi Uchiha's strange expression, and quietly stopped the conflict between Black Zetsu and Obito Uchiha, taking the initiative to ease the situation. "I came to see you only to ask you for some information about Konoha."

Shirou Emiya tapped the wooden handle of the scroll lightly with his fingers and continued, "Let's discuss these troublesome matters after I finish writing this scroll—."

Black Zetsu immediately shut his mouth.

"Snort!"

Obito Uchiha barely managed to calm his anger, but still scoffed at himself, "What's the point of researching useless Medical Ninjutsu now!"

As long as the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan succeeds...

All ninjas in the entire Shinobi World will fall into an eternal slumber!

Shirou Emiya's Medical Ninjutsu had long been meaningless to this world. He didn't understand why the other party was like this at all, and even felt that the other party was somewhat hypocritical!

Everyone was already prepared to start the Eye of the Moon Plan, so why waste time researching Medical Ninjutsu here!

"A frog in a well, with a limited view of the sky—"

Black Zetsu cursed inwardly.

Only Black Zetsu believed he knew Shirou Emiya's Yamato and kindness. After all, according to his and Emiya Tsuchihara's plan to revive Kaguya, Shirou Emiya's insistence on researching Medical Ninjutsu was definitely in preparation for the Shinobi World under Uchiha's rule after her Kaguya. How could those arrogant and conceited fools of the Shirou Emiya's naivety and kindness!

Although Black Zetsu didn't think Emiya Tsuchihara's actions were useful, it still liked to see Shirou Emiya's goodwill towards the world. At least it knew that Shigenori's desire for the world to become a better place hadn't changed.

Only in this way...

The opponent is always the most trustworthy pawn.

Shirou Emiya lowered his eyes slightly, and the speed of his writing undoubtedly increased, as if he were ignoring Obito Uchiha's taunts, and his voice remained as gentle and calm as ever.

"I don't care about controlling the plan."

"I just feel there's a problem. Black Zetsu is right about one thing: your efficiency in executing plans isn't very high. I even suspect you're trying to stall for time."

"Now that you're so insistent on controlling the plan, I'm starting to suspect you just want to use it to gain that power—"

"Rest assured!"

"I don't care about that power!"

"I want the plan to succeed more than anyone else!"

Obito Uchiha Shirou Emiya a cold, wary look. This guy actually doubted that he was taking the Eye of the Moon Plan seriously enough. He wanted to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi of the Eye of the Moon to create a Genjutsu world that was even more beautiful than reality!

"So-"

"Where is the current plan at?"

Shirou Emiya's question left Obito Uchiha.

Because no matter what he says, it can't change one thing: their plan hasn't really started yet, not even the first step has been taken.

"Now is not the time to start the plan."

Obito Uchiha could only choose one answer that wasn't really an answer, and continued to explain, "Before my real plan to capture the Tailed Beast begins, we absolutely cannot let other ninja villages know that we are collecting Tailed Beast. I am recruiting helpers to capture the Tailed Beast."

After Obito Uchiha finished speaking, he picked up Itachi Uchiha, whom he had just recruited, to demonstrate his actions. "I just recruited Itachi into Akatsuki. He possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, which can suppress all the Tailed Beast in the Shinobi World— "

"Hehe·-""

Black Zetsu immediately wanted to mock him.

"Black Zetsu".

Shirou Emiya stopped Black Zetsu, and the pen in his hand also stopped.

The man picked up his pen and began tapping the wooden handle of the scroll again; the rhythmic sound evoked a sense of unease. Clatter...

Pat-pat.

The sound of the pen tapping gradually grew duller.

Just as Obito Uchiha Chunin a renewed surge of anger, Shirou Emiya suddenly turned his gaze to Itachi Uchiha.

"Your idea is good."

"At least he is a suitable candidate."

"If you're going to use him, are you sure you can control him?"

"He killed his own kind, who shared the same blood, for power, and even killed the parents who gave him life—"

Shirou Emiya seemed oblivious to the suppressed pain in Itachi Uchiha's eyes, and proceeded to ask Obito Uchiha, "There's nothing left in this world for him to fear. How can you be so sure this newcomer joining Akatsuki doesn't have ulterior motives?"

"His younger brother Sasuke Uchiha."

Obito Uchiha a deep breath and stated his ability to exploit the Uchiha's weakness. "If he refuses to comply with our wishes, we can kill his brother at any time."

"!!!"

Itachi Uchiha's fingers clenched tightly into his palm.

At this moment...

Itachi Uchiha's killing intent towards Obito Uchiha reached its peak!

Even if the other party only had the idea of killing his younger brother, he absolutely could not tolerate such a thought. He could not tolerate anyone threatening his younger brother's life!

Even I can't do it!

Shirou Emiya nodded, seemingly unaware of Itachi Uchiha's thoughts, and appeared to agree with Obito Uchiha's explanation.

"In other words, if his younger brother is killed, this power-worshipping newcomer will never be able to reach the pinnacle of the Uchiha Clan— the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan."

"However—"

"I actually think his younger brother is more promising."

"Having such a cruel older brother, his younger brother's heart must be shrouded in hatred, giving rise to a deeper darkness. Who knows, he might grow up to be even more outstanding than his brother."

"For us—"

"This newcomer is merely a suitable helper for the time being, far less important than the legacy of the Uchiha Clan."

When Shirou Emiya got to this point, he frowned at Itachi Uchiha, seemingly extremely dissatisfied. "I'm even a little unhappy that he wiped out the Uchiha Clan."

Black Zetsu strongly agreed with Shirou Emiya's opinion.

Because Black Zetsu understood Shirou Emiya's thoughts, and Shirou Emiya's thoughts were also very advantageous to it.

The survival of the Uchiha Clan means that the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan may still be born in the future, and there will be countless opportunities to try to realize the plan.

Although-·

Black Zetsu knew that this plan would most likely succeed, but Black Zetsu also understood that Shirou Emiya had faced two seemingly hopeless situations before.

Itachi Uchiha's mood gradually relaxed.

Although Emiya Tsuchihara was extremely dissatisfied with him and hated his annihilation of the Uchiha Clan, he felt somewhat calmer and even somewhat satisfied with Shirou Emiya, the leader of the Akatsuki.

The fact that the other party values Uchiha Clan's heritage might also be related to that so-called plan.

However, this also means that this Ancient Era ninja would not have any intention of harming his brother.

Moreover

The other party also thought highly of his younger brother.

Just as he hoped his younger brother would surpass him in the future, if Shirou Emiya and Obito Uchiha were truly vying for control of the Akatsuki, Itachi Uchiha would have preferred someone like Shirou Emiya to be the victor.

However·

While Itachi Uchiha relaxed, Obito Uchiha's emotions were completely ignited by Shirou Emiya's words!

"Ancient Era relics should stay in tombs—not be used to nitpick my people."

Obito Uchiha could no longer tolerate Shirou Emiya's dissatisfaction with the people he had recruited. It felt like a slap in the face, and his anger was almost uncontrollable. He spoke coldly, "Shirou Emiya, your era is long gone. I don't need you to interfere with my decisions. I am the one in control of the plan now!"

"Would you like to challenge Wei Yuan-sama?"

Black Zetsu's sinister voice echoed in everyone's ears.

"Obito, you'll regret this!"

The White Zetsu, in its true form, anxiously reminded Obito Uchiha, hoping he would quickly admit his mistake. "Apologize to Lord Shirou! How could you possibly be a match for him!"

"Ting..."

"That's hard to say." Obito Uchiha's right eye slowly turned into a square-shaped eye socket. He finally decided to take back everything he had lost with his own strength, and coldly issued his declaration of war. "If you want to take control of the plan, just saying hello is not enough. At least let me see what kind of power you, a ninja from Ancient Era, really have."
