Kirigakure, Secret Laboratory.
A violent chakra riot occurred. The entire laboratory was instantly penetrated by countless wooden thorns.
However, the surrounding guards seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and they just dodged to the side to prevent themselves from being hurt by the sputtering wooden spikes.
Inside the laboratory, Obito or Black Zetsu was getting up with difficulty.
Obito has a very buggy part in the original plot. That is that his Kamui seems to be used casually. There is no sense of consumption at all.
This can be explained by the fact that he has Hashirama Cells in his body. But in fact, after Aoba transplanted Hashirama Cells, he realized that this was simply impossible.
Even with the cells of Hashirama, Mangekyō cannot recover so quickly.
The only possibility is that Madara or Black Zetsu did something to Obito's body.
Aoba is more inclined. Obito's body was transformed by Black Zetsu using Yin-Yang Release. That's why it has such strong recovery power.
This method is definitely not easy to use. Obito was the most important chess piece at the beginning, so Black Zetsu spent a lot of effort to transform his body.
But before Konoha fought, Obito's body was completely damaged. Not only that, Black Zetsu himself lost a Clone Technique body.
This caused Black Zetsu to fall into a weak state after escaping. Obito's body can be repaired. Just one White Zetsu can make up for it.
But Black Zetsu's body was separated from Kaguya's body. He couldn't recover at all.
This is also the reason why Black Zetsu likes to be the sixth child. Once its body is damaged, no one in Shinobi World can repair her.
After spending several months and consuming hundreds of White Zetsu and Black Zetsu, we could only barely recover about 70%.
For the remaining 30%, unless Kaguya is resurrected, there is no hope.
This made Black Zetsu become even more silent. Kumogakure defeated Iwagakure, and Konoha dominated. He did not move at all. There was no way, the last trip to Konoha had given him a huge blow.
For a guy who is used to being the sixth child, that ambush really scared Black Zetsu.
It decided to hide behind the scenes again. Anyway, now that Madara Uchiha has appeared, it can just control Madara Uchiha to continue advancing the plan.
But Madara is not that easy to control, because currently Madara Uchiha seems to have no interest in capturing Tailed Beast.
He focused all his energy on recapturing Rinnegan and truly resurrecting himself.
However, due to the intrusion of Aoba, Black Zetsu lost the position of Akatsuki. This resulted in it being unable to easily approach Nagato.
Obito's Kamui is not absolutely unsolvable. What's more, he only has one eye. Facing Rinnegan and Black Zetsu's Nagato, they instinctively feel a little weak.
Fortunately, Madara didn't count on the incomplete Black Zetsu. He prepared to go into battle himself. He took back Rinnegan, and then used Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique to revive himself.
But it's not as easy as imagined to deal with Nagato. After all, the opponent now controls Land of Rain.
And after years of governance by Konan, Land of Rain is much stronger than in the original plot. The last war was not affected.
To take back Rinnegan from Nagato means fighting the entire Land of Rain.
And Land of Rain has Akatsuki stationed there. It is no exaggeration to say that apart from Konoha, Shinobi World ranks second.
Not to mention anything else, the group of Kage Level masters in Akatsuki, any two of them would need a great ninja village to resist.
Black Zetsu sent a large number of White Zetsu to sneak into Amegakure for investigation. However, the results were not optimistic.
"Are there no loopholes?"
"No, it's not that there are no loopholes. With Lord Madara's strength, the entire Amegakure defense line is actually full of loopholes. But the high-end combat power of this village is beyond imagination.
According to my information, the leadership of Amegakure is inextricably related to Aoba Kamikawa of Konoha. In addition to having a lot of high-end combat power, they also have a complete Sealing Division."
Madara Uchiha frowned after hearing this.
He is very strong now, but he himself dare not say that he is invincible. Even compared to Reanimated Body in the plot, the current Madara is weaker.
Because Black Zetsu channeled Madara in advance, in order to prevent Madara from being difficult to control, the sacrifice he channeled Madara was not the best White Zetsu. This resulted in Madara's strength actually shrinking.
Reanimated Body is not afraid of anything.
The power of Yin-Yang Release can actually hurt or even seal Madara. At the same time, the advanced Sealing Division and Sealing Jutsu used in conjunction are also a threat to Madara.
If Madara hadn't fought with Aoba, he would definitely have no inhibitions now and would directly rush into the fight with Amegakure and Nagato.
Because from the bottom of his heart, he has never looked up to the ninjas of this era.
But during the battle with Aoba, he realized that he was not yet invincible before Shinobi World.
Once he openly attacks an independent ninja village, he will be directly exposed to the entire Shinobi World. At that time, it will directly lead to the siege of the entire Shinobi World.
Reanimated Body, if you are defeated and sealed, you may never be able to recover.
Therefore, Madara finally gained a firm hand.
Konoha, Hokage's Office.
"I still don't understand, why don't we just declare the truth to the whole Shinobi World?"
Tsunade doesn't understand Aoba's secretive approach. What she wants now is to announce the truth and then gather the power of the entire Shinobi World.
Whether it's Madara Uchiha or Black Zetsu, just press it to death, and then everything will be fine, right?
"What truth is announced? Tell all Shinobi World that the mastermind behind the scenes is Madara Uchiha, or the son of the ancestor of chakra from ancient times?"
"Why not? We already have a lot of evidence in our hands. It is absolutely possible..."
"Lord Hokage, I understand what you mean. You want to use this evidence to prove that what you said is right, and then use it to unite the entire Shinobi World. But I can tell you clearly.
Even if everyone believes what you say, it is absolutely impossible for Shinobi World to completely unite. Because uniting the power of the entire Shinobi World depends not on right or wrong, but... interests."
"Madara Uchiha threatens the entire Shinobi World. Isn't it our common interest to defeat him?"
Tsunade is not without brains. What she said is actually completely correct. A common enemy of Shinobi World naturally needs to be defeated by Shinobi World together.
"Can you prove that Madara Uchiha threatens the entire Shinobi World? He has done nothing now."
"But he'll always do it."
"Yes, but that's the fact. Even if everyone knows that Madara Uchiha is the enemy, everyone knows that he will threaten the entire Shinobi World. But before he does it, it is absolutely impossible for Shinobi World to unite.
I sometimes feel inferior to myself as a human being because humans are such fucked up creatures. Unless a knife is put to their neck, they won't react."
