"By the way, remind Hokage, if you agree to cooperate with me, you will live. If you don't agree, you will die. I am not kidding!"
Konohagakure, Root headquarters.
Black Zetsu made his purpose clear from the moment he came up and directly let Hiruzen Sarutobi make a life or death decision.
After all, in Black Zetsu's view, if he dared to appear here at such a close distance when Takenaka Kaguya and Konohagakure were around, he was taking a huge risk.
As long as he captures Hiruzen Sarutobi and forces him to cooperate with him, he is willing to take this risk.
After all, if you want to recreate a new Rinnegan, you need cells from Hashirama Senju and Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan as the basis.
Now, among the entire Shinobi World, only Konohagakure can achieve his goal.
As for snatching back Madara Uchiha from Takenaka Kaguya, Rinnegan, or catching Takenaka Kaguya's relatives and using them to threaten Takenaka Kaguya so that the other party is willing to call out Rinnegan, the difficulty is much greater than this choice.
After all, he didn't dare to appear directly in front of Takenaka Kaguya, otherwise, he was able to escape the disaster last time by relying on the hiding method of integrating with the earth, but it may not be the case next time.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's scalp was a little numb. He had just gone over the information Vice Admiral knew about Black Zetsu in his mind, and he could feel that the guy in front of him, half black and half, might not be so easy to fool.
"You want to use my life to force me to cooperate with you, Black Zetsu, right? Do you think I will be threatened by you?
I am Third Hokage of Konoha, are you looking down too much on the Will of Fire that I have inherited in my heart?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said coldly.
"Hahaha, Will of Fire?
It's a pity that I didn't see the so-called Will of Fire in you!
Since you took over Konoha Third Hokage, you have used your power to obtain a lot of benefits for the Sarutobi Clan.
Although Konoha's strength has indeed improved to a higher level under your leadership, but if it weren't for the legacy left by brothers First Hokage Hashirama Senju and Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, to be honest, I don't think you have this ability.
So, Hokage, you don't have to speak so nicely, I've clearly seen what kind of person you are in the past few years while hiding in the dark."
While speaking, Black Zetsu noticed that Hiruzen Sarutobi was preparing to mobilize the Chakra in his body, and immediately waved his hand. In an instant, a terrifying suction force appeared, continuously sucking away the Chakra in Hiruzen Sarutobi's body.
"Damn guy, how dare he come to me?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's face changed drastically, and he cursed in his heart.
He is constantly being sucked away by Chakra, which will make him lose his biggest support, and at the same time, he is more certain that this is Wood Style that originally belonged to First Hokage Hashirama Senju.
Wood Style is a kind of Kekkei Genkai, which is composed of two attributes Chakra: earth and water. The caster uses his own Chakra as the source of life. The activated ninjutsu will quickly grow many trees from the ground, creating a forest in an instant. All the offense and defense of the trees in the forest are controlled by the caster, and are beneficial to the caster in performing other Wood Style ninjutsu.
In addition, unlike ordinary Kekkei Genkai, Wood Style has the ability to absorb Chakra from the body of the target it controls. This is the reason why Hashirama Senju was able to hold Nine-Tails with just one Wood Style arm.
Therefore, Nine-Tails cannot bear it, and Hiruzen Sarutobi naturally cannot bear it either.
"Wait, what are you going to do?"
Feeling that Chakra was about to be emptied from his body, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked quickly.
Once Chakra is absorbed, he will really be a lamb to be slaughtered, and his life and death can only be decided by Black Zetsu.
Therefore, he will never allow this to happen.
"Haha, very good, Hokage is a person who knows current affairs.
First, I want the forbidden technique Impure World Reincarnation developed by Second Hokage Tobirama Senju.
Second, I want you to help me select talented people from the Uchiha Clan, and then give them to me.
Of course, in return, as long as you have troubles that you can't solve, now except Takenaka Kaguya and Uzushiogakure, I can help you solve them." Black Zetsu was not verbose, and spelled out the conditions in detail.
Hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not agree immediately, but bargained. "No, I can do this myself in return.
Black Zetsu, you should know that I am Hokage of Konohagakure, and Konohagakure's strength is Shinobi World's strongest hidden village today.
Therefore, this cooperation is only good for you, not for me.
In addition, Uchiha Clan is the most powerful Ninja family of Konoha. Even if I were Hokage, I cannot easily hand over the genius of the Uchiha Clan to you.
After all, with the Uchiha Clan's current strength, even if I were Hokage, I couldn't deal with them openly."
Regarding Uchiha Clan's statement, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not lie. After all, even someone as strong as Second Hokage Tobirama Senju would not dare to use force against the Uchiha Clan, but would adopt gentle methods.
Don't you see, when First Hokage Hashirama Senju died because of Madara Uchiha, Second Hokage didn't even dare to face What did Uchiha Clan do, just create a Konoha Military Police Force, and thereby differentiate Uchiha Clan from Konoha and other Ninja?
Therefore, even if Tobirama Senju dare not do something, Hiruzen Sarutobi has this self-knowledge, so naturally it is impossible for him to agree to it.
"Haha, Hokage, don't worry, I certainly won't let you deal with things that Uchiha Clan and Second Hokage don't dare to do openly, and I certainly won't embarrass you."
Black Zetsu chuckled, and then while talking, he slapped Hiruzen Sarutobi inside his body.
"What did you do to me?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was shocked. He could clearly feel that something had just entered his body.
But, he didn't know what it was!
The unknown is the most frightening. Just like when Hiruzen Sarutobi faced Takenaka Kaguya, he didn't know how strong Takenaka Kaguya was. He only knew that he was very strong.
"Hokage Don't worry, those are just some Spores. As long as Hokage you cooperate with me with peace of mind, the Spores in your body will not do you any harm. On the contrary, they may be able to save your life when you are in danger.
Of course, if Hokage you only promised to cooperate with me on the surface but betrayed me secretly, then these Sporess can take away your life in an instant." Black Zetsu said with a smile, as if I am all for your good.
Regarding this, Hiruzen Sarutobi really wanted to scold her, but she didn't dare to gamble!
Soon, after calming down, he looked at Black Zetsu and said, "Okay, now that the matter is over, I promise to cooperate with you, please let me go first!"
"Haha, this is natural!"
After that, with a wave of Black Zetsu's hand, Hiruzen Sarutobi was released.
After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi used Chakra to sense the Spores in his body, but he was disappointed, because no matter how he sensed it, those Spores seemed to have become one with his body.
"Alas!"
He sighed heavily and glanced at Black Zetsu, who was holding the pearl of wisdom. Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Black Zetsu as if accepting his fate and said, "Black Zetsu, Takenaka Kaguya has a method called Observation Haki. Not only can he explore the surrounding enemies like Hyuga Clan's Byakugan, but he can also see through the thoughts of the people around him.
This kind of Observation Haki is so weird, I can't guarantee whether he will notice the secret in my heart when I appear in front of him."
"Observation Haki? I already know this, but I didn't expect that this so-called Observation Haki can actually peek into other people's hearts."
When Black Zetsu said this, he thought to himself, "No wonder Takenaka Kaguya knew that I used Madara Uchiha to rescue my mother who was sealed in the moon.
It turns out it's because of this Observation Haki."
After thinking about it, Black Zetsu looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and nodded. "It seems that Hokage you also deeply hate Takenaka Kaguya's domineering attitude, otherwise you would not share such important information with me.
Since Takenaka Kaguya can peek into other people's hearts, then you just don't want to meet him.
After all, you just let Anbu take down Root, and as Third Hokage of Konoha, you are also very tormented in your heart.
Moreover, Danzo is your friend. If you attack him, you will naturally be tired and unwilling to pay attention to just Chunin Ninja Exams!"
Obviously, Black Zetsu Black Zetsu has a reasonable reason for Hiruzen Sarutobi not to meet Takenaka Kaguya.
Regarding this, Hiruzen Sarutobi briefly thought about it and immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, Black Zetsu, you have a good idea.
Then, I wish us a happy cooperation!
However, before dealing with Takenaka Kaguya, I need to take action against Uzushiogakure. I wonder if you are willing to cut off Takenaka Kaguya's arm for us first?"
Hearing this, Black Zetsu fell silent.
If possible, he wanted to avoid any conflict with Takenaka Kaguya until the plan was successful.
After all, the angry Takenaka Kaguya was too terrifying, and his small body couldn't bear it.
However, from the look in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, he also understood that if Hiruzen Sarutobi only used Hiruzen Sarutobi's life as a threat, then even if Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to cooperate with him now, he would probably regret it one day in the future.
And he cannot lose Hiruzen Sarutobi as an ally, otherwise his plan to rebuild Rinnegan will not be implemented.
"Okay, in that case, wait until you select Ten Uchiha with good talent before handing it over to me. I will help you solve Uzushiogakure's matter." Black Zetsu nodded and agreed.
"Okay."
After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, he was just about to say something more when suddenly, Black Zetsu's whole body quickly sank into the ground.
After a while, a Ninja wearing a Anbu mask walked in quickly, saluted respectfully. "Lord Hokage, Chunin Ninja Exams The results of the first test have come out, Uzushiogakure and thirty Genin passed the first test with a 100% transmittance rate."
At this time, Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said matter-of-factly, "After all, Lord Takenaka brought those who took part in Chunin Ninja Exams. It doesn't matter if they all passed the first exam.
Okay, I already know the result, so let's continue with the second and third games as planned!"
"Yes, Lord Hokage!"
After the Anbu member left, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but sigh, "He is indeed the only one who can escape from Takenaka Kaguya. This kind of perception is much stronger than Uzumaki Clan's Mind's Eye of the Kagura!"
On the other side, Takenaka Kaguya suddenly frowned, and immediately, Advanced Observation Haki instantly enveloped the entire area of Konohagakure.
After a moment, he suddenly said in surprise, "Hey, Hiruzen Sarutobi moved so fast, I just warned him, and he actually sanctioned Danzo!
Haha, it seems that the meeting with him before scared him out of his courage!"
Takenaka Kaguya was very satisfied with this, and felt deeply that Hiruzen Sarutobi was so knowledgeable.
In this case, wait until Chunin Ninja Exams ends and then return to Uzushiogakure.
"Father, all the people in our village who took Chunin Ninja Exams passed the first exam."
Suddenly, Mingyue Takenaka opened the door and walked in, with an excited look on his face.
"Well, I already know."
Takenaka Kaguya smiled and nodded, then pointed at the screen next to him. It was the classroom where Chunin Ninja Exams had his first session.
Seeing this, Mingyue Takenaka nodded with a smile and said, "It's good if father knows. The second exam will be held in three days. I have observed that it is unlikely that the people in our village will fully pass the second exam.
After all, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Hatake Sakumo and Dan Katō, these Konoha and Genin, are all very powerful.
Also, the two Genins from the Uchiha Clan and the two Genins from the Hyuga Clan are both very strong. If the villagers encounter them, they may be at risk of being eliminated."
When the words fell, Takenaka Kaguya waved his hand nonchalantly and explained, "Mingyue, don't worry too much about Chunin Ninja Exams's results. We Uzushiogakure have our own selection mechanism. Therefore, the Chunin level recognized by Konoha cannot affect anything.
As for how many people these Genin can ultimately pass through, it will not reduce Konoha's evaluation of us."
Hearing this, Mingyue Takenaka thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, father, I will protect the people in the village!"
"Well, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You have had a hard day. Come over and have a cup of tea, take a rest, and go out with me in the evening." Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile.
"Okay, Father."
Mingyue Takenaka sat down obediently, took the tea handed over by Takenaka Kaguya, and drank it with great enjoyment.
Time passed quickly, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
In the dark night, Takenaka Kaguya and Mingyue Takenaka quickly left their room and headed straight for the Uchiha Clan.
Ten minutes later, looking at the four big characters Naka Shrine written in front of him, Mingyue Takenaka said with some confusion, "Father, if I guessed correctly, this should be Ancestral Shrine of the Uchiha Clan, right?"
"Well, not bad.
There is a secret room down here, and I heard that there is a stone tablet left by Progenitor of Ninjas Sage of Six Paths in it.
And the purpose of our trip is to see what is so special about this stone tablet!"
