Brewing

Ban was ready to take action.

Although I learned from Black Zetsu that Uzumaki Katsuki was a very strange guy, who not only did not stop Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso from collecting the Tailed Beast, but even cooperated by handing over the Five-Tails and Nine-Tails, it seems that Black Zetsu was absolutely right!

This is truly a freak.

Ban looked up at the Thunderclap Chariot, which was moving steadily through the air, and at the Katsuki above it, and frowned.

"You know about the Ten-Tails?"

His voice was not loud, but it was arrogant and full of the authority of a superior.

"Well! I do know that." Katsuki jumped off the Thunderclap Chariot and landed on the Ten-Tails' head, smiling as she greeted the old master Madara Uchiha.

Shinra Tensei.

Madara raised his hand and presented Katsuki with a gift as a greeting.

"Single Shield."

Katsuki smiled slightly, raised a Chakra shield with her left hand, easily withstood the repulsive cannonball, and stood still without retreating an inch.

"Boy, what do you want to do?" Madara scoffed, staring impatiently at Katsuki, and asked.

"What do you want?" Katsuki maintained her smile, dispelling the Chakra shield in her hand, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't ruin your chance to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, nor will I hinder your Moon Eye Plan. I just, well, I just want to ask someone something."

"Looking for someone to ask me something?"

Madara Uchiha frowned, increasingly unable to understand what this Uzumaki Clan kid was up to.

Moreover, Katsuki stood there without any sign of making a move. As for looking for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack, at their level, a sneak attack was simply a joke. With their perception abilities, no one could approach silently without being detected.

But if what this kid said was true, he was even more confused.

"Who are you looking for? What do you want to ask?"

"Um, Senior Madara, I wonder if Black Zetsu is here?"

Katsuki asked aloud.

"Black Zetsu? Hmm, since you know about the Ten-Tails, the Moon Eye Plan, it's not surprising that you know about Black Zetsu. But is the person you're looking for Black Zetsu? What do you want to ask? Black Zetsu is something I created. If it's something he knows, then naturally I know it too," Madara replied directly.

Upon hearing this, Katsuki raised an eyebrow, and her smile gradually faded.

"Not here? How cautious!" After a few seconds of silence, Katsuki shook her head. "No, that won't do! Black Zetsu you know, but you don't know everything Black Zetsu knows."

Upon hearing this, Madara's expression stiffened, and his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at Katsuki.

"So you're here to cause trouble again, aren't you? Black Zetsu is my creation, don't say such pointless things."

"Tsk!"

Katsuki in astonishment.

I knew it wouldn't be easy to find Black Zetsu; that old ghost who's lived for a thousand years is practically a demon.

The veins on Ban's forehead bulged. For some reason, he sensed a hint of mockery in Katsuki's click of the tongue, a feeling that made him very uncomfortable.

"Then please continue, sir! I won't disturb your journey to becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. I need to go and stop someone, lest I be killed for nothing, which wouldn't be worth it." Before Madara could react, lightning crackled beneath Katsuki's feet, and amidst the thunderous roar, she rode the Thunderclap Chariot southward.

Watching the azure light streak away at high speed in mid-air, Madara's fingers twitched, but in the end he restrained himself and did not make a move.

This kid from the Uzumaki Clan gave him a very unusual feeling, just like facing Hashirama, making him unpleasant, or even more dangerous than Hashirama.

"That's really interesting."

Anger vanished like smoke in the wind, leaving no trace. A glint of light flashed in his Rinnegan as he watched the light disappear from his sight. Madara Uchiha smiled with interest, then sighed with regret. "What a pity about such an interesting kid," he thought. "If I had made a move now, I might have been able to savor the thrill of battle."

But once he became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, it was a completely different level.

"Minato." Katsuki jumped down from the air, looked at Minato standing on the treetop, and walked over.

"Katsuki, what's with that monster? Where are Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso? What were you doing over there just now?"

Minato asked in rapid succession.

"Ah! Don't worry." Looking at Minato's worried face, Katsuki smiled helplessly. "I've already completely dealt with Uchiha Genso 'Chakra Senju Zen has disappeared, so he's probably dead. As for that monster over there, it's the Ten-Tails, which is an amalgamation of the Nine Tailed Beasts, or rather, their true form. It doesn't matter."

"As for what I was doing over there, I chatted with Madara Uchiha for a bit."

Katsuki spoke very casually.

Minato's facial expression had already frozen; the amount of information in those words was extraordinary!

"Madara Uchiha? Has he been resurrected? Or is it Impure World Reincarnation? What are you and Madara Uchiha talking about?"

Jiraiya burst out, glaring at Katsuki. Sakumo and Nawaki also emerged from behind the tree one after the other. Everyone stared at Katsuki with expressions of utter disbelief.

"It's so complicated to explain!" Katsuki scratched his head in frustration, sighed, and then said, "Time is running out, so I'll get straight to the point. Madara Uchiha has been resurrected, and Senju Zen and Uchiha Genso are no longer useful as pawns. Now, Madara Uchiha is controlling the Ten-Tails, preparing to become its Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and then implement the Moon Eye Plan, the one I mentioned before, to create a dream world without war."

"Did you mention the Moon Eye Plan before?" Nawaki stared at Katsuki with a puzzled look.

"Didn't you say that?" Katsuki retorted.

"Continue. However, Madara Uchiha was just a fool who was manipulated. The real mastermind is an old ghost who has lived for over a thousand years. That old ghost is the source of the disaster, trying to revive the demon sealed in the moon. In short, there's no need to take action against Madara Uchiha now. We should wait until the real mastermind reveals himself before we start working on anything else. Otherwise, even if we kill Madara Uchiha now, it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Do you understand?"

Minato: ""

Nawaki: ""

Jiraiya: "

In the end, it was Sakumo, the teacher, who came to the rescue, saying, "Although it's a bit of a struggle and there are still many things you don't understand, Katsuki, you're trying your best to protect the village, right?"

Sakumo looked at Katsuki with gentle eyes.

"Yes, I want to resolve the root of the trouble once and for all. Although my personal goals are also involved, they do not conflict with my desire to protect the village." Katsuki nodded solemnly.

"That's good then, haha!" Sakumo suddenly burst into hearty laughter, patting Katsuki's shoulder forcefully. "Just do it if you're confident. As your teacher, I can't help you much right now, I can only cheer you on. But don't forget, you're my disciple, White Fang's apprentice." (To be continued)
