Black Zetsu's Doubts / Call Him Uncle Black

With a loud thud, it landed squarely on Uchiha Shingen's body.

"Be gentle," Uchiha Shingen, rubbing his arm in annoyance. "Stop watching, it's time."

"That's it?" Black Zetsu was greatly disappointed. "What kind of useless Dōjutsu is this?"

"We don't use insults here, okay? What do you mean by 'trash'? This is my Absolute Defense, alright?"

"Really? I didn't see that coming." Black Zetsu unleashed his King's Contempt.

"I don't really know what this technique of mine is. You could call it a kind of force field, but the duration is too short. I think it might be an incomplete state."

"Even your Dōjutsu are weird," Black Zetsu couldn't help but complain.

"Aren't those Mangekyo Sharingan Dōjutsu all strange?" Uchiha Shingen retorted, unconvinced.

Black Zetsu sneered and ignored him.

"You're the most knowledgeable, help me think of a solution, is there one?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

"You yourself said it's incomplete, what can I do?" Black Zetsu said casually at first, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "However, if we had Ashura and Indra's Chakra, perhaps we could solve it."

"Can you please stop trying to get your hands on those two kids?"

"It's not like you gave birth to it, why are you so nervous?"

"You don't appreciate my kindness. I was just worried you'd get beaten to death, okay?"

"Are you kidding me, that brat!"

"They are Ashura and Indra, can we judge them by common sense?"

"Why not? Do you think you're invincible just because you have Chakra reincarnation? You're nothing until you've grown up."

The two argued back and forth for a long time, until finally Black Zetsu angrily threw down the words: "When they grow up, they may not remember your kindness. Then you won't even be the clan leader anymore."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shingen was overjoyed.

"You said it yourself, Sasuke, if you don't become the clan leader, I'm not done with you."

Black Zetsu: "???"

Obito was right about one thing: this guy is a real dog!

"It's almost dawn." Black Zetsu stood up from the ground. "I'm leaving now. I'll build a base here. If you want to see me, find me yourself."

"Leaf Village wasn't built in a day. It's just opening a branch mine. What's the rush? Do you want to see how I'll train them?"

"I have no interest in training kids, so what's the point of opening a branch mine?"

"I won't explain these age-revealing words; this is my last act of defiance."

"You're clearly having another episode," Black Zetsu said, utterly speechless.

After thinking about it, it realized that although Uchiha Shingen was currently keeping a close eye on the Chakra of Ashura and Indra, it was still worthwhile for it to go and observe those two brats in advance.

"Fine, I'll go with you."

"That's right, Lao Hei. You don't have enough entertainment, so you've lost hope in life, which has led to your strong suicidal thoughts. You need to know..."

"I don't want to know anything." Black Zetsu interrupted Uchiha Shingen. "Are you ever going to stop? You've been talking all night. I am the embodiment of Uchiha Madara's will. My purpose in existing is to fulfill his dream."

Even brothers fight over dividing the family property. Chief Ban has gone to the Pure Land, why are you being so stubborn? Don't be so depressing, cheer up, just be yourself.

"Hehe."

Black Zetsu turned his head away and let out a cold laugh.

But its feelings at that moment were complicated.

"You're so stubborn. Fine, I won't nag you anymore. Come on, I'll take you to see something fun." Uchiha Shingen somewhat helpless, but it was also within his expectations.

Black Zetsu has persisted for a thousand years, so of course he won't be easily persuaded.

Don't rush, take it slow.

Uchiha Shingen firmly believed that Black Zetsu, who possessed an independent will, was only different from humans in terms of physical structure; it simply had never tried to have a dream that truly belonged to it.

With Black Zetsu by his side, Uchiha Shingen began to walk back.

Along the way, he began to describe his journey to becoming a renowned teacher to Black Zetsu with a proud tone.

Chapter Fourteen: Black Zetsu's Doubts

Back at the Daigo Territory's mansion, Black Zetsu showed Uchiha Shingen what it meant to be the number one undercover master in the Hokage.

It shrank into Uchiha Shingen's vest like a jelly, but Uchiha Shingen couldn't feel any weight at all.

"This is pretty convenient for you," Uchiha Clan, patting his vest without any emotion.

If someone were to punch him, would he Black Zetsu first?

"Shut up, you're definitely not thinking anything good." Even in his bulletproof vest form, Black Zetsu can still speak.

"You underestimate me. I'm only thinking about serious matters."

What's wrong with the villainous boss taking a knife for me?

It's practically the light of righteousness!

Then Uchiha Shingen swiftly used the Flying Thunder God.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of the mansion.

"Master Ninja, you're back!"

At the entrance of the mansion, a servant was waiting anxiously. When he saw Uchiha Shingen, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone in the manor now knows that a bunch of bastard ninja are burning, killing, and looting on their territory, and their target is right here.

These servants share in their master's glory and ruin; unless their master is executed, their loyalty is as clear as day.

The worst-case scenario is that they will be the ones to be eliminated before their masters are.

After all, those thuggish ninjas didn't even spare the farmers.

"Hmm, I took care of something. What's up?" Uchiha Shingen glanced at the servant and noticed his dark circles under his eyes.

It was already dawn.

Uchiha Shingen's ability to stay up all night is still quite good; after all, he has practiced Yang Release for so many years, so occasionally pulling an all-nighter is no big deal for him.

A ninja who can't stay up all night is a fake ninja.

Being able to travel day and night, and then immediately engage in combat upon arrival, is a basic requirement for the war machines of this world known as "ninjas."

But ordinary people in this world, just like people on Blue Star, need regular routines to maintain a good condition.

"You waited here all night?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

No... no.

"If you have it, then you have it. Just say so." Uchiha Shingen pulled out a wad of bills and handed them to the other person. "Take this and buy something good to take care of yourself."

"This... Ninja Master, I am merely a servant, I cannot..."

"Take it. I don't like to trouble people. It's okay, I can get reimbursed."

Upon hearing the words "reimbursement," the servant readily accepted the money, not forgetting to ask a question as well.

"Master Ninja, how much should I prescribe for you?"

"As the most honest ninja in Leaf Village, I never need receipts for expense reports," Uchiha Shingen boasted. "Whatever I say, is what I say."

Accepting the servants' admiring gazes, Uchiha Shingen entered the mansion with a nonchalant air.

Upon entering the inner courtyard, Uchiha Shingen clapped his hands.

After a while, the doors to several rooms opened, and Naruto Uzumaki, Uchiha Sasuke, and Hinata Hyuga ran out one after another.

Uchiha Shingen and the others ran up to him, he first pointed out their mistakes.

"The sliding door is too wide. If I were the enemy, you would have already revealed the location of the person you're protecting. Also, you shouldn't have come out through the main entrance; you should have gone around to another place."

"Oh."

"Huh? Can't we just come out directly?"

"I'm sorry, teacher, I'll be more careful next time."

All three students gave responses that were very much in line with their personalities.

Meanwhile, Black Zetsu was silently observing from behind Uchiha Shingen.

In its inherent image, the reincarnation of Ashura's Chakra, just like Ashura in the past, has a sunny personality and easily gains the favor of others.

The Chakra reincarnations of Indra, like Indra, are cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but most people are already shivering from the cold before they can even feel the warmth inside.

But this generation of Chakra reincarnation gave it a highly harmonious feel.

The Chakra of Ashura and Indra is there, but it's humans who make it always feel like something is wrong.

Is it just my imagination?

Black Zetsu; it felt that the two reincarnated beings of this generation were unlike any other.

"Well, what I'm saying might not be suitable for you, but just remember, during protection missions, you must get into the habit of deceiving others. The enemy isn't always where you can see them, so be more careful in the future."

"Yes, teacher."

This time, the little ones answered in unison.

Uchiha Shingen nodded in satisfaction.

"How did you sleep last night?"

"I've rested well!" Naruto Uzumaki's energetic demeanor was quite convincing.

Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists.

Hinata Hyuga's face was tense, as if she was fully prepared.

"It seems you've digested it well." Uchiha Shingen looked at the three children. "Then let's set off now. Replenish your strength with Military Ration Pill along the way, and return as quickly as possible."

After saying that, he led the three of them back the way they came.

When they returned to the front gate, the servant had just finished counting the money and was carefully putting the banknotes into his pocket.

He was taken aback when he saw Uchiha Shingen returning the way he came.

"Please tell the lord that we're going to wipe out those rogue ninjas. Tell him not to worry, there's a clone of me here, the manor will be safe," Uchiha Shingen said to him. "Please open the door again."

"Yes, sir, I'll report right away." The servant was extremely attentive and quickly reopened the door for him.

"Thanks." Uchiha Shingen patted him on the shoulder, then led the three of them out the door.

In the blink of an eye, he and Team 7 had disappeared from the servants' sight.

The servant was not only amazed by the ninja's speed, but also thought to himself, "What an approachable ninja lord."

Having quickly left the mansion behind, Uchiha Shingen led Team 7 straight to the location of the ronin.

The Flying Thunder God Seal is formed from the caster's Chakra and can also serve as a sensory node.

Before going to capture the prisoners alive, Uchiha Shingen had already woven a Chakra sensing network using the Flying Thunder God Seals.

At the heart of the network was the mansion of the Daigo Territory.

As long as the Hannya Group do not give up plundering the Daigo Territory, they can only walk headlong into his "net".

Now, they've already barged in.

Sensing the Chakra of the Hannya Group, Uchiha Shingen stopped and began to address Team 7.

"Alright, the enemy is in the trap. Sasuke, Naruto, you're boys, you have to protect Hinata, understand?"

"Know!"

"Hmm, your performance yesterday was acceptable, but next up is a group battle, which is a little different from yesterday. The school has taught you a lot about team battles, but in my opinion, it's still not enough to deal with ninjas with more practical experience. So I'll give you a quick refresher lesson. Don't resist, especially Hinata. Just relax and enter my Genjutsu."

After saying that, Uchiha Shingen Sharingan.

He immediately activated the Genjutsu: Sharingan, pulling all three of them into the illusion he had set up.
