A Bunch of War Fanatics

Black Zetsu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing directly into Kisame's heart. Hearing this, Kisame looked utterly disgusted, his eyebrows furrowing as he cursed at the pitcher plant Black Zetsu, "You damned bastard, please don't possess me!"

Seeing Kisame's furious expression, Black Zetsu slowly covered his mouth, chuckled, and then said to Kisame, "I'm very useful. I'll definitely be of great help to you in the future, hehe."

After speaking, Otsutsuki Black Zetsu looked confident once again.

Kisame, seeing Black Zetsu's useless demeanor, felt a chill in his heart and fell silent, simply watching. The other Akatsuki members then glanced at Uchiha Itachi.

Kisame then thought to himself, "Itachi seems more reliable. I need to be on his team next time. This Black Zetsu is just a piece of trash; he looks completely useless."

Kisame is absolutely right. Otsutsuki Black Zetsu seems useless, but he's practically utterly useless. Aside from being quick at escaping, his abilities are all mediocre. However, Black Zetsu's record is remarkably impressive. He ambushed Uchiha Madara from behind, disemboweled him, and only then released Otsutsuki Kaguya, effectively indirectly killing Uchiha Madara single-handedly.

There were also two Akatsuki members dressed in red cloud patterns and black leather Akatsuki. These two were Uchiha Itachi and Biwa Juzo. Both of them coldly watched the noisy members without saying a word.

When Uchiha Itachi heard that Konoha was attacking, his heart skipped a beat. His nasolabial folds furrowed, and his face darkened, as if he were burdened with worries.

Kisame joined Akatsuki later, which is why he's in a team with Black Zetsu. Juzo hasn't used his Ninja Blade to cut the Tailed Beast Ball yet, so he's still alive and currently teaming up with Uchiha Itachi.

The other group included Sasori! And a very excited Deidara had already defected from Iwagakure and had been knocked out by Itachi's Genjutsu.

At this moment, Deidara had already made a wish: to use art to blow up a few Uchiha Clan, to let these Sharingan guys witness the power of art.

So when Deidara heard that Uchiha Qingcheng was attacking Amegakure, his face was filled with excitement. He didn't care whether Uchiha Qingcheng was the Hokage or the strongest Shinobi World; as long as he was surnamed Uchiha Clan, he was someone to be greeted with artistic fervor.

Konan looked at these monstrous-looking members, her face grim. Especially seeing Kisame still criticizing Black Zetsu, she said seriously, "There's a reason Nagato put you two in the same team. One of you has a shark face, and the other has a face with a black-and-white cross-infection, so you're more suitable."

Upon hearing this, Kisame frowned, looking at Konan with disbelief. Then, he said seriously, "Although I have a shark face, I am still a human being."

Kisame then pointed at Black Zetsu, saying angrily, "This thing that's black on one side and white on the other, like a skewer, is something no one in our Hidden Mist Village has ever seen before. I suggest we replace him right now; this guy has absolutely no strength."

Konan, seeing Kisame still berating Black Zetsu with a cold expression, said softly, "Kisame, team up with Black Zetsu first. We'll discuss everything when Nagato arrives. You must obey Akatsuki's orders."

Kisame held Black Zetsu in utter contempt, even disregarding him as a human. He considered Black Zetsu animal, like those in Ryūchi Cave —an animal that had become a spirit. However, Kisame couldn't find any animal that looked exactly like Black Zetsu. Then, he looked at Black Zetsu with a serious expression...

Then Kisame said with a vicious look, "You damned animal spirit, if you dare to hold me back, I will definitely kill you, do you hear me?"

Black Zetsu listened to these words, which were full of warning undertones, and looked at Kisame with a playful smile. Then, he said confidently, "I won't hold you back. My escape ability is unparalleled in the Shinobi World, hehehe."

Looking at these irritable guys, Konan thought to herself, "Only Nagato can manage these people! They're absolutely insane, a bunch of war fanatics."

In a darker room, Uchiha Obito stood before a hospital bed, looking at the emaciated Nagato on it, and said with a serious expression, "The transplant surgery was a success. Nagato truly lives up to his Uzumaki Clan reputation; even after using the Rinnegan for so long, his vitality is still astonishing. This time, with the transplant of Hashirama Cells, he should recover his legs quickly and also strengthen his body's Chakra."

Immediately afterward, Obito glanced at Uzumaki Nagato's legs again. He saw that the white cells had filled Nagato's legs, and the white Hashirama Cells were continuously replenishing Nagato's life force. In just a short while, Nagato, who had been emaciated, regained a sliver of color, and even his complexion began to regain some rosiness.

Seeing this promising scene, Uchiha Obito said with a serious expression, "Nagato, in two hours, your legs will be restored. Hashirama Cells can enhance the Rinnegan's abilities. With your power then, you will definitely be able to defeat Uchiha Qingcheng, and then the Eye of the Moon Plan can be realized."

Obito had repeatedly suffered losses at the hands of Uchiha Qingcheng, and each loss was particularly fatal, with one near-death experience. Therefore, the thought of Uchiha Qingcheng's terrifying strength and powerful Chakra Obito with a sense of powerlessness, leading him to place his hopes on Nagato.

Obito thought to himself, "If even you can't do it, I'll have to revive that person ahead of time. Maybe only he in the world can destroy that inherently Evil Uchiha."

The mere mention of the inherently Evil Uchiha made Obito's teeth ache with hatred. Although he himself was Uchiha Clan, Obito didn't consider himself any more evil than Uchiha Qingcheng.

Every time Obito faced this inherently Evil Uchiha, Obito felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Uchiha Qingcheng was like his nemesis; not only did he possess intelligence, but he also knew the weaknesses of Kamui. His Dōjutsu allowed him to enter the Kamui Dimension, and he was particularly skilled in Shadow Clone Jutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, and especially Lightning Armor and Wood Release Ninjutsu. He also used the Senju Clan's sheer numbers to relentlessly attack him, making it difficult to escape even with Kamui.

Obito even suspected that this Uchiha Qingcheng was a member of the Senju Clan. Otherwise, where did that enormous amount of Chakra come from? Moreover, he was proficient in various Senju Clan Ninjutsu, including the Chakra Enhanced Strength, Yin Seal, and the most sinister Flying Thunder God Technique. He was practically a demon king of the Shinobi World.

Even Obito couldn't understand how someone like that could become Hokage. He said with a sorrowful expression, "Hiruzen Sarutobi is much better. Only a cowardly Hokage like him makes it easier for me to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan. This inherently Evil Uchiha, I, Obito, will never approve of you."
