Ch. 262The Troubles of Black Zetsu
Hashirama and Tobirama prepared for the conflict over Sunagakure and the Oasis Plan while Madara’s hunt for the Tailed Beasts continued. Black Zetsu worried that Konoha could obstruct their goal, and the chapter ended with blind Nagato hearing a strange sound in his prison cell.
- Hashirama agreed to help with the Oasis Plan, and Tobirama sent Konoha ninja into Sunagakure to occupy vacant houses in case Rasa attacked.
- Black Zetsu reported that Fugaku had been betrayed by his son and captured, while Tobi had sent intelligence before failing to escape.
- Madara dismissed Black Zetsu’s concerns about Konoha and said he could gather seven Tailed Beasts to make the Demonic Statue powerful enough to overwhelm the Ninja World.
- Madara said he would wait three months for information about Kumogakure’s Eight-Tails Jinchuriki before searching the village himself.
- In Konoha’s underground prison, Nagato heard faint rhythmic smacking sounds and asked Konan what was wrong.
