Mother

"We? I can't accept that. It should be Black Zetsu's own grand plan. The so-called Eye of the Moon Plan is nothing more than a tool you used to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki. How long do you intend to keep this from me?"

Even now, Black Zetsu still hasn't given up and wants to drag me down with him?

"What?! You... how could you... Who told you this? Lord Madara, I am the embodiment of your will! How could you believe rumors instead of your own?" Who was it? Who told Madara Uchiha all this? Damn it, the plan to resurrect Mother should only be known to me! Could those rumors about Uchiha Gen's ability to foresee the future... be true?

"Heh, I, Madara Uchiha, have my own judgment. As for the incarnation of will? You're not wrong about that, but it's not mine, Madara Uchiha's. Am I right? The third son of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the incarnation of the will of the Rabbit Goddess?"

Heh, Black Zetsu, you bastard, you've finally met your match?

Seeing Black Zetsu's utterly horrified expression, Madara Uchiha of cool and collected, felt a surge of exhilaration.

It's over... A grand plan spanning millennia, ruined in an instant!

"Madara, listen to me. I didn't mean to hide it from you. Reviving Mother was just a side thing, and it doesn't conflict with your Eye of the Moon Plan." As he said this, Black Zetsu slowly moved closer to Uchiha Obito.

The body he was currently inhabiting, Nagato's, had not only lost the Rinnegan Madara Uchiha. Relying on this broken body, he was simply unable to face the current emergency. Only by controlling Uchiha Obito could he have a glimmer of hope.

"Heh, say what you will. Anyway, I have no intention of continuing with that so-called Eye of the Moon Plan. If you want to revive Kaguya-hime, figure it out yourself. Don't drag me into this."

What a joke! Although we don't know what methods Uchiha Gen used, these obvious Ten-Tails Jinchuriki can't be faked. Joining Black Zetsu's side at this time is simply suicide.

"Since you insist on this, then forget it. Let's not mention the Eye of the Moon Plan anymore." Hmph, you fool, just like Uchiha Obito, utterly hopeless, wasting decades of my hard work.

It seems that Madara Uchiha's path is blocked. Fortunately, the Uchiha Clan is prosperous enough, and I only need to wait for the next generation, Indra, to come of age. However, Asura's situation is a bit uncertain. According to past precedents Asura should be reincarnated into the Senju Clan, but right now only Tsunade Senju Clan. It may not be so easy to find a reincarnation for the next Asura.

However... I still have plenty of cells from the previous Asura's reincarnation, Senju Hashirama, which I can use as needed. Right now, the most important thing is to get out of this dangerous place first.

"Yin-Yang Release - Will..."

"Black Zetsu ~ How could you make me wait so long? Do you know how I've spent these past thousand years?"

Just as Black Zetsu was about to make his move, a sudden voice made him freeze in place.

"How... how is this possible? That tone of voice... is that... Mother?" Black Zetsu stiffly turned his head to look in the direction the voice came from.

Hmm~ Is that really Mother? But what's she doing here? And standing with that Uchiha Gen guy~

"Sealing Jutsu - Host Body Confinement!" ×2

Just as Black Zetsu was stunned, Uzumaki Kushina and Uzumaki Xiangzi, who had been fully prepared, finally appeared.

"What?! This is... the Uzumaki Clan?! Damn it, you planned all this in advance?" This is utterly hopeless. The other side was clearly prepared, even devising Sealing Jutsu specifically targeting them.

"Of course, after all, you've slipped through our fingers so many times, how can you not learn your lesson?" Looking at Black Zetsu, whose movements were restricted, the Secondary Body that had revealed its form gave Black Zetsu a slightly smug glance.

"Alright, stop dawdling. Delay will only make things worse. Xiangzi, get to work." Knowing that villains die from talking too much, Uchiha Gen, even with Black Zetsu already restrained, remained vigilant and instead turned to Xiangzi, ordering her to finish the job quickly.

"Yes, Lord Gen, Sealing Jutsu — Absolute Restriction Seal!"

With the help of the two sealing masters, the threat of Black Zetsu was completely eliminated.

"Well, that's all for now, so I'll be going. There's a lot of research waiting for me in the organization." Seeing his two teammates, one injured and the other crippled, Sasori of the Red Sands just wanted to get out of this troublesome place as quickly as possible.

"Hmm? You think you can just leave after blatantly plotting against me, Uchiha Gen? Don't you think too highly of me?" Sasori of the Red Sands is quite a good tool. Although the Land of Snow has gained a lot of predecessors, it is still somewhat lacking in scientific research talent.

"Uh, I just came to check on things. I had absolutely no idea about plotting against you. Black Zetsu and Nagato were involved in all of this. You saw it yourself just now; I didn't lift a finger the whole time."

It's over, I'm afraid I can't escape today. Fortunately, when I was developing the Uchiha Obito Model, my regeneration core wasn't completely separated. Half of my regeneration core is still stored on the Hiruko. Even if I don't escape this time, it's okay. It's just a pity about Uchiha Obito's body.

"Don't be nervous, we don't intend to solve this with violence. However, even though you weren't involved, you are still a member of Akatsuki, and I..."

"I can leave Akatsuki right now. I swear on the life of my dear grandmother Chiyo, I will never fight against Konoha or the Land of Snow again. I will avoid you from now on."

Anyway, Nagato and Black Zetsu are both dead, so I don't need to worry about the Akatsuki hunting me down as a defector. Who knows who will be hunting whom in the end, since the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is still at the Akatsuki base.

"Well, that's true, but you are, after all, missing-nin from Sunagakure. Your oath has no credibility whatsoever. You'd better come back to Hidden Snow Village with us for reformation." Are you kidding? We're giving you such a good tool; how could we let you get away? Even if you drag out your ancestors for eighteen generations and swear an oath, you won't escape today, let alone Chiyo woman Chiyo.

"Modification? You Hidden Snow Village know art too?" It's always been me, Sasori of the Red Sands, who modifies others. I never thought it would happen to me today. But what kind of advanced modification techniques could the Uchiha Clan possibly have? Don't waste my excellent body, which is the Uchiha Obito.

"Art? I don't understand it, but I do know a little about art films. Enough nonsense, Xiangzi, go and set a seal for him."

Today's trip turned out to be a pleasant surprise; I've wanted to bring Sasori of the Red Sands over for a long time.
