The Nine-Tails Capture Plan X Who is the Akatsuki?

The Nine-Tails' lips twitched suddenly, as if recalling the fear of being dominated by the Sharingan. It snorted coldly and withdrew its Nine-Tails. How long had it been since anyone dared to ignore or bully it like this? It vaguely remembered that the last time was that man... Uchiha!

"You brat from the Uchiha clan, you're quite something. You're the first person to dare speak to me like that." The Nine-Tails glared down at Roy, its massive body like a mountain, casting a shadow that completely enveloped Roy.

Compared to him, Roy, now known as Uchiha Jin, is indeed insignificant in terms of size. However, despite this, he stands with his hands behind his back, calmly looking at the Nine-Tails, making it hard to tell who is the towering mountain!

"As the Flesh Bud wriggled and stretched their branches, another wave of ' Life Energy ' continuously flowed into Roy's body. [Hint: ' Life Energy ' +0.8 +0.8 +0.8...]"

The Sun-Earring Boy's jet-black hair moved without wind as he glanced sideways at the Nine-Tails and said, "Is that so?"

What, you don't believe me?

Roy didn't answer, but simply uttered a name: "Uchiha Madara."

Nine-Tails Fox crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "He counts as one too."

"What about Senju Hashirama who beat you up?"

Nine-Tails rolled its eyes. "He counts too."

Roy chuckled and picked at his ear, "You silly fox, no wonder I didn't hear you mentioned when I met Hagoromo the day before yesterday."

"He's... what?!" Nine-Tails Fox's eyes widened suddenly, its two sharp claws gripping the cage as it stared intently at Roy, demanding, "Who are you calling a liar?!"

"Hagoromo... Hagoromo... Hagoromo Otsutsuki..." Is there another Hagoromo Otsutsuki in this world? Roy stood with his hands behind his back, recalling the day he discussed Dao with Six Paths across the Styx River. The past seemed vivid in his mind. Even though it was only their first meeting at the time, now it felt like a meeting of ages.

"Jiqing (old man)..." Nine-Tails Fox trembled, its mouth agape. Overwhelmed with emotion, its forehead flushed crimson!

It cried out in a daze, "Impossible... this is impossible! He's been dead for ages, long gone! You're lying to me!"

"Roar!" The fox opened its mouth, baring sharp fangs many times larger than a human... The Nine-Tails glared fiercely at Roy and suddenly roared, "You're not Uchiha! Tell me, who are you?!"

Roy glanced at Nine-Tails in surprise, not expecting... this usually arrogant and conceited fox to have such a sensitive and perceptive side. He slowly shook his head and said, "You're wrong. I am Uchiha, a genuine Uchiha, of course..."

"It's true that I know the Six Paths."

[Deception!] As he spoke, Roy transformed instantly, recalling the Six Paths from his memories, and using his Nen Qi to conjure up his likeness—

With a "whoosh," a wisp of white smoke dissipated as the Nen Qi rose and disappeared. An old man, with prominent horns, a long robe, a magatama on his back, a Uzumaki Clan on his back, and a staff in his hand, stepped forward. Nine-Tails stared, mouth agape, and the moment he saw the old man, his eyes involuntarily reddened. "Chirp chirp."

"Clang clang clang clang..." The prison trembled, and the seal showed signs of instability again.

Roy, holding the Six Paths Staff, simply uttered a single word to the Nine-Tails: "Quiet."

The aged voice, mimicking that of the Sage of Six Paths, seemed to possess some kind of magic, instantly silencing the Nine-Tails, who was overwhelmed with excitement.

The enormous, mountain-like fox demon sat down obediently, just like when it was a child, surrounded by its brothers and sisters—one-tailed, two-tailed, three-tailed, and four-tailed—listening quietly to the Sage of Six Paths ' teachings. Nine-Tails Fox pretended to look up, not wanting Roy to see the tears welling in its eyes, took a deep breath, and looked earnestly at Roy, saying, "You're right, you are indeed not him."

Even if the appearance is the same, no matter how much one imitates, one's temperament, soul, Chakra can never reach the level of the original owner. This has nothing to do with anything else, only with the difference between you and me, that is, the [original individual]...

"I never said I was him, I am who I am," Roy said calmly, waving his hand to dispel the [Deception] and reverting to his original appearance. He looked intently at Nine-Tails and said, "But I can let you see him."

In the darkness, Roy looked through the [Thread of Causality] connecting him to the Nine-Tails. Behind the Nine-Tails, he could faintly hear the Styx River surging amidst countless corpses. That place was both the abode of the Six Paths and the other side of life and death. The Nine-Tails- Tails lowered its head, and Roy calmly met its gaze. Separated by a cage, the two stared at each other silently for a long time, seemingly pondering, or perhaps trying to get to know each other again. After a while, the Nine-Tails asked in a deep voice, "What do I need to give in return?"

The Uchiha's inherent evil wasn't just empty talk; the Nine-Tails, as a victim, had personally experienced the terror of being dominated. The demon fox stared intently at Roy with its bright yellow eyes, never expecting... The Sun-Earring Boy waved his hand casually, chuckled, and said, "I've received the reward I wanted. Of course, if possible..."

"Give me some face and don't make things difficult for Kushina Uzumaki, okay?"

"I can't do that," Nine-Tails sneered. "If it were you, would you be willing to be locked up for life?"

"That's true..." Roy nodded in deep agreement. "Alright, I promise to release you, but until then, you..."

"Needs to behave..."

Why should I believe you?

"For no reason at all," Roy said, standing with his hands behind his back and looking directly into Nine-Tails' eyes. "Whether you believe me or not is your business; whether I can do it or not is up to me."

Nine-Tails:

What an arrogant brat!

"You're even more arrogant than me!" Nine-Tails chuckled, its two eyes, each the size of a bronze bell, suddenly narrowed, and it snorted coldly, "If you want me to believe you, let me see Jiji first, otherwise, forget it."

Roy didn't say a word, turned around and left.

"You think you're so great, huh, you bastard?!" "Flesh Bud, suck it dry!"

With a "squeak," the Flesh Bud bent over, freely absorbing and releasing Chakra, and then sent another wave of "Life Energy" to Roy.

[Hint: "Life Energy" +0.8 +0.8 +0.8...]

The continuous beeping of the control panel notifications echoed in Roy's mind...

The Sun-Earring Boy instantly withdrew from the Nine-Tails Fox's heart and returned to the outside world, leaving behind a huge fox. He stood alone, bewildered in the wind, angrily pounding on his cage.

"Hey brat, you still haven't told me your name?"

"Uchiha Jin."

A slow, indifferent reply Youyou over...

[Circle] With that, the Heart Bug, having eaten its fill, returned to its original form with a thought from Roy. The Sun-Earring Boy vanished from Nine-Tails's sight, and with a final glance, he smiled at Minato and his wife, Tsunade, Shizune, and the others, saying, "Let's eat."

"I'm starting! X7!"

Soon, a sumptuous lunch came to an end amidst laughter and cheerful conversation...

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the clock hanging on the south wall struck farewell.

Roy accompanied Uchiha Mikoto to see off Minato and his wife. Finally, he made an appointment with Tsunade to familiarize themselves with the [Edo Tensei] technique and attempt to communicate with the underworld. Just as he was about to part ways with Namikaze Minato and Kushina Uzumaki, Youyou overheard a helpless snort, "You win, brat. I agree."

As the [Thread of Causality] trembled, the sullen fox face of the Nine-Tails Fox vaguely appeared. "But before that, I need to see Qingqing."

"Sure," Roy said readily. "Give me some time. I'll let you know when I'm ready."

Reaching the other shore isn't easy. At least, with my current bond with the Nine-Tails, it's not enough to trigger a deeper [causal relationship], allowing me to cross the Netherworld and see the Six Paths. Therefore, I need to further deepen the [Thread of Causality] with the other.

Roy watched as Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze Minato, carrying the Nine-Tails, gradually disappeared into the depths of Konoha under the protection of the Cat-Faced Anbu and the Fox Anbu...

The Sun-Earring Boy leaned against the door, watching the sunlight filter through a lush grove of trees, casting dappled patterns of light. He turned and went back to his bedroom. "Tap... tap..." The footsteps faded into the distance. Itachi stood in the entryway, looking back at Roy's retreating figure. "Nii-san, aren't we training this afternoon?"

Roy opened the bedroom door, waved to the Sun-Earring Boy with his back to him, and said, "Let's talk after you've had a good sleep."

He flashed past Itachi, and under Mikoto's helpless gaze, threw himself onto the bed.

[Note: "Flesh Bud" are full... Today's "intake": 32 points]

[Note: "Intake" depends on the "Flesh Bud" grade and gradually increases as the "Flesh Bud" grows.]

Roy lay sprawled on the bed, arms and legs outstretched. Through his connection with the "Flesh Bud," he could clearly see the "Flesh Bud" open its mouth and let out a full burp, its swollen body collapsing into the flesh of the Nine-Tails... A glint flashed in his eyes, and an astonishing plan suddenly popped into his mind: capture the Tailed Beast, synthesize the Ten-Tails, restore the God Tree, and control the planet!

If one Tailed Beast is parasitic, then two, three, nine... are all parasites. "If one day I were to unleash the power of an entire planet, could I possibly fight against that [god], that [unknown]?"

Amidst his fluctuating thoughts, Roy compared the fighting prowess displayed by Kaguya in the original work... The Byakugan, capable of seeing Chakra flow, sealing chakra points, and releasing oppressive power. The Rinne Sharingan (Nine Tomoe), fusing the power of the Sharingan and Rinnegan, unleashing the Infinite Tsukuyomi (which can even transform the entire moon into Illusion Jutsu medium). The Kekkei Mōra, fusing seven Chakra nature Transformation, granting mastery of advanced techniques such as All-Killing Ash Bones (instant death for those hit) and Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball (devouring everything and turning it into chaos)...

Spatial Manipulation: Amenominaka: Can freely switch between five independent spaces (including lava, ice, etc.), each space comparable in size to Earth. Yomotsu Hirasaka: Can instantly traverse space without hand seals, used for surprise attacks or retreats.

In terms of taijutsu and defense: Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack: Taijutsu strength Susanoo easily shattering Sasuke's Complete Susanoo. Immortality: Immune to all conventional ninjutsu and taijutsu; can only be sealed, not destroyed.

At that level, perhaps one could even touch the hem of [God's] robe...

It's a pity that when I met Liu Six Paths across the River Styx on the other side, I couldn't see through his true nature. Otherwise, using him as a reference, my judgment might have been more accurate...

Roy covered his face with his hand, thinking to himself that it was a bit of a pity... But then he thought that capturing Tailed Beast was actually Akatsuki's goal.

However, at this point in time, Yahiko is not dead, Nagato has not yet turned to the dark side, the Battle of Kannabi Bridge has not yet occurred, Obito has not yet turned to the dark side, and the Akatsuki organization has not yet been established. But... the true leader of Akatsuki, Black Zetsu, has been plotting behind the scenes for many years, even including Uchiha and Senju Hashirama, and even the entire ninja world in his schemes...

Roy narrowed his eyes, flipped his hand, and a surge of Nen Qi flickered within him as he secretly plotted... When he encounters [White Zetsu] again, he might just let him taste the [Causality: Blade], severing his past, cutting off his future, and causing him to lose himself...

A gust of wind blew, causing the curtains to sway softly.

The Sun-Earring Boy turned over, lay on his side, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep...

Beneath a solitary tree at the edge of the Perception Barrier, adjacent to Konoha, a lone dark figure hid in the shadows, silently gazing at Konoha in the distance, lost in thought.

He was like a tree stump, or a stone waiting for its husband, except that while others waited for their "husband," he waited for his "mother."

"Black Zetsu, it's been a thousand years. When do you plan to release Mother?" Another familiar nightmare, another cold sweat. Awakening with a start, Black Zetsu, wearing a straw hat, shrank his neck and murmured softly, "Soon... soon, Mother. I'll release you soon..."

The person then unleashed the [Mayfly Technique], instantly transforming into a mayfly, sinking into the earth and traversing through mud and rock layers. After many twists and turns, they reappeared hanging upside down from the ceiling of a hidden bunker...

"Jiongjiong..." A dark river meanders through the bunker, converging into a larger underground river, its destination unknown.

Ahead, at the end of the underground river, on a flat area, leaned against a gigantic golem, its body riddled with tubes, nearing its end. The desiccated corpse, seemingly about to "pass away" with a gust of wind, hunched over and asked in a hoarse voice with its eyes closed, "What is it?"

Black Zetsu, hanging like a bat atop the fortress, calmly said, "White Zetsu is dead."

Which one?

"The one sent out to monitor Uchiha Jin..."

The mummified corpse's eyebrows twitched, and it slowly opened its eyes... "It's that child..."

"Yes," Black Zetsu jumped down from the ceiling and respectfully reported to Uchiha, "Through the memories transmitted back by White Zetsu, we discovered that Uchiha Jin possesses extremely strong 'sensory' abilities. He could not only easily locate White Zetsu's hiding place, but also seemed to be able to hear White Zetsu's thoughts, anticipate his escape route, and ultimately even... interrupted the ' Spore Technique ' process, cutting off all of White Zetsu's chances of escape..."

"Mind reading?" The mummified corpse raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of admiration, "It seems this child has awakened his Mangekyō."

Mangekyō? Black Zetsu was slightly startled. Since the time when Kaguya was sealed away, through Hagoromo, Asura, Indra, Hamura, and then to Senju Hashirama in the Sengoku period, and now Uchiha before him, he knew very well that the conditions for awakening the Mangekyō Sharingan were extremely harsh and could only be obtained through extreme pain!

This is also why, in the original work, they went to great lengths to scheme against Uchiha Obito and actively guide him to turn evil, but then... Uchiha Jin appeared and immediately activated...?

In a daze, Black Zetsu felt a sense of dejection, as if all the effort of exchanging lines had been wasted, and for a moment, he fell into silence...
