To revive them, he could only settle for the next best option. Uchiha Madara understood his own physical condition. Time was the most terrifying weapon killing him, especially now that he lacked the Rinnegan. The rate at which his body aged was gradually accelerating. Having finally faced his true feelings, he slowly said:
"Use the backup plan first. Also, send out more White Zetsu to find out exactly what happened in Amegakure. Nothing can happen to the Rinnegan—it concerns my resurrection. If I truly cannot be revived... then we can only use the most inferior method."
Some ninjutsu could summon a ninja's soul into a living person's body, but that body would lose all sensation. It would be nothing more than a cold corpse, incapable of wielding true power, much less allowing his strength to improve again!
To carry out the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, they needed the living body of someone with a heartbeat!
"Don't worry. I'll make the arrangements."
Black Zetsu was currently playing the role of Uchiha Madara's dark side, handling certain dirty matters for him. Yet he had his own purpose as well. Uchiha Madara was an indispensable part of this plan. If they missed him, who knew how long they would have to wait for the next era? And they would still need to ensure that the next member of the Uchiha Clan was exceptional enough. That was simply too difficult!
He had waited for over a thousand years. His sealed mother had waited for over a thousand years as well.
Uchiha Yū, who was rapidly making his way back, did not yet know that the enemy had shifted their attention away from him. There would be no schemes targeting him for the time being. After a long journey, Uchiha Yū finally returned to the village.
