The Humble Black Zetsu

Nagato didn't actually want to reveal his true form, so when capturing the Three-Tails, he had Biwa Jūzō and Hiruzen Sarutobi Kirigakure.

After absorbing the Three-Tails 'Chakra, Nagato realized it wasn't enough and had no choice but to turn his attention to Rōshi.

Nagato witnessed White Zetsu Rōshi taking Roshi away with his own eyes.

Currently, the Four-Tails 'Chakra is the easiest Tailed Beast Chakra to obtain.

Having absorbed the Three-Tails 'Chakra and recovered somewhat, Nagato was no longer worried about the trouble that might result from revealing his true state.

White Zetsu dared not monitor Nagato, and only dared to linger outside the area where Nagato was located.

When Nagato suddenly approached him, White Zetsu was taken aback and wondered if he should stay further away.

However, after hearing Nagato's words, White Zetsu poked half of his body out from the ground.

"Ah, no problem, Chief, please follow me!"

White Zetsu dared not refuse Nagato's words and immediately led the way for Nagato.

But at the same time, White Zetsu immediately left to relay the message to Black Zetsu.

What is Nagato trying to do?

Black Zetsu lowered his head, pondering in his mind.

Nagato's capture of the Three-Tails last night was kept secret from Kirigakure, but not from Black Zetsu.

Even the position of the Three-Tails was provided by Black Zetsu.

White Zetsu dared not get close enough to investigate or ask what Nagato was planning.

However Chibaku Tensei made quite a commotion. Even though the transportation process took place at high altitudes, the start-up and landing could not be concealed.

Having just captured the Three-Tails, they now need Four-Tails Jinchūriki.

This left Black Zetsu somewhat puzzled about what Nagato was planning.

If the plan to capture the Tailed Beast is to begin, Nagato's first target should be Hidden Sand Village.

The revival of the Ten-Tails needs to be done one by one in order; it cannot be done haphazardly.

Tell me the whole story, don't miss a single detail!

"Black Zetsu said to White Zetsu who came to deliver the message."

"Okay, Black Zetsu."

As White Zetsu explained, Black Zetsu also guessed the reason.

Has Nagato become skin and bones again?

Having figured out how Nagato acquired those Rinnegan, Black Zetsu immediately realized that Nagato's Rinnegan had become stronger once again.

Black Zetsu's mood immediately brightened; this was good news.

Nagato is truly a genius!

Theoretically speaking, as long as Ten-Tails Jinchuriki is born, Kaguya can be revived.

However, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki are also of varying strengths, and Kaguya possesses different powers due to being resurrected in different bodies.

The Nagato develops the Rinnegan, the better for Black Zetsu, since it will become his mother's eye afterward.

This is also why, in the original work, Black Zetsu chose Madara over Obito.

Obito was indeed the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki at the time, but he was incredibly incompetent.

He has a Sharingan that isn't even the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and he only has one Rinnegan.

In Black Zetsu's mind at the time, Ten-Tails Jinchuriki of that caliber was completely unqualified to become the body of his mother.

Therefore, in Black Zetsu's eyes, Nagato's current actions are simply working for him.

After understanding the cause and effect, Black Zetsu immediately decided to personally guide Nagato and meet the current Nagato.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Black Zetsu plans to stay with Nagato for the foreseeable future.

This was a choice Black Zetsu made out of desperation, since he didn't know what was wrong with Obito.

They not only avoided the ninjas of the Shinobi Alliance, but they even hid from Black Zetsu.

The last time Black Zetsu and Obito contacted each other was back in the Land of Demons, just before Moryo broke free of his seal.

With Obito avoiding the scene, Black Zetsu lost his tool.

Seeing the current situation, Nagato was not one to be left out, so Black Zetsu naturally decided to join in immediately.

"Chief, you've arrived. This way, please. The Fourth Tsuchikage is inside."

When White Zetsu led Nagato to the place where Rōshi was imprisoned, Black Zetsu immediately stepped forward and began to consciously play the role of a henchman.

Therefore, Black and White Zetsu, who likes to show off his bare body, even wore the Akatsuki.

Nagato nodded dismissively and walked into the cave.

Black Zetsu, head bowed, immediately followed behind, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Indeed, just as White Zetsu had said, Nagato was now withered and incredibly old.

Black Zetsu wasn't concerned about Nagato's body; he was concerned about the Rinnegan.

Those purple Rinnegan now evoke in Black Zetsu almost the same feeling as when Madara passed away.

Originally, Nagato was merely a vessel to nurture the Rinnegan, ensuring its Rinnegan, and a pawn in Madara's resurrection.

However, Nagato's performance at this moment made Black Zetsu turn his attention to this piece that he had never paid much attention to before.

The compatibility between Nagato and these Rinnegan is much higher than expected, perhaps making him worthy of being a backup option.

As the awakened user of the Rinnegan, Madara was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate, a point that has never wavered.

However, if circumstances change or other unforeseen events occur, Nagato can also be considered as an alternative.

As for ambushing Nagato now and using the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive Madara, Black Zetsu had no such intention.

It wasn't that Black Zetsu was worried that Nagato hadn't mastered the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique; with Nagato 'Rinnegan developed to such an extent, mastering Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique was a certainty.

The main reason is that Madara's taunt value is too high. With even the One-Tail still uncaptured, Black Zetsu is unwilling to increase the difficulty.

Although Madara's resurrection would greatly increase their strength, there are still variables. Black Zetsu would rather play it safe than allow new variables to emerge.

The tragedy of being powerless is vividly embodied in Black Zetsu; for Black Zetsu, controlling the battlefield is an incredibly difficult task.

And so, Black Zetsu, full of his own thoughts, followed Nagato and arrived in front of Rōshi.
