Akatsuki won a great victory. Not only did he capture Reanimated Madara, he also successfully captured Black Zetsu.
These two Shinobi World's most dangerous characters were actually arrested within one day. This achievement also exceeded Konan's expectations.
Because in the discussion with Aoba, she also tended to Aoba's judgment. The best result would be to achieve one of two goals.
Now that the task has been overfulfilled, Konan feels uneasy. She is still young and has never seen Madara Uchiha with her own eyes. However, she also knows how strong this legendary ninja is through many legends.
Moreover, Aoba keeps emphasizing that Black Zetsu, which is integrated with Masked Man, is more dangerous than Madara Uchiha.
"Nagato, we need to be more cautious. I always feel like something is wrong with these two guys."
"I know. Inform Sealing Division and give them all available seals."
Although Nagato is paranoid, he is not a fool. Although he tried his best in this battle, he also feels that he won too smoothly. Therefore, it is better to be careful.
Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu were imprisoned at Land of Rain Akatsuki headquarters. This is the place where Jinchūriki is imprisoned.
However, Eight-Tails has long been drained by Nagato. So it is empty now.
Madara Uchiha, whose whole body was pierced by dozens of Black Rods and then restrained by more than a dozen Sealing Jutsus, was imprisoned here.
During the period of caution, Nagato did not use the main body, but controlled the barely repaired Deva Path, and came to Madara Uchiha.
After the previous battle, Nagato fell into a weak state again. However, there is still no problem in controlling Deva Path to speak.
Arriving in front of Madara Uchiha, Deva Path said.
"Someone told me that the Rinnegan on my body does not belong to me, but was replaced by you. Is it true?"
"Haha, who told you? Aoba Kamikawa?"
"... Answer my question?"
"Yes, I gave it to you."
"Why?"
"Because you are one of the very few Uzumaki Remnantss. You are also one of the very few bodies in this world that can carry Rinnegan. Rinnegan is different from ordinary Sharingan. When I turned on Rinnegan, I was too old and could not really adapt to these eyes.
So I need a successor to help me nourish these eyes. Of course, the most important thing is that I need someone to resurrect me in the future."
"Are you so sure that I will resurrect you?"
"Haha, of course I'm not 100% sure. But according to the plan, Black Zetsu will guide you. Rinnegan will put a huge burden on your body. With continuous use, you will become weaker and weaker. Eventually you will find that you cannot realize the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan with your own strength. At that time, it is the opportunity for my resurrection."
"I see, everyone is your chess piece. Including that Masked Man. He is also one of your back-up players?"
"Yes, if the guidance plan does not go well, he will execute plan B. Kill you and get back Rinnegan."
"In that case, why don't you just give him Rinnegan?"
"Haha, I said it. Your body is one of the very few Shinobi World that can carry Rinnegan. Although that kid is not bad, in terms of physical fitness, he is actually not as good as you.
At the same time, that kid's thoughts are not as pure as yours. Although I have left some backup plans. But if he gets Rinnegan, those backup plans will become a little weak. Therefore, he can only use a backup plan. "
Madara Uchiha's words made Nagato silent for a while. After all, who knew that he would not feel better after just being a chess piece. After being silent for a while, Nagato spoke again.
"What exactly is that Black Zetsu?"
"Haha, Black Zetsu is me. It is the dark side that split off before I died. It can be understood as a special kind of Clone Technique."
"That's it." Nagato did not continue to ask, but turned around and left the prison.
Konan, who was waiting outside, saw Nagato coming out and hurriedly stepped forward.
"How's it going?"
"He said everything. Just like the previous battle, it went very smoothly."
Konan also felt something was wrong.
"Let's go meet Black Zetsu. According to Aoba Kamikawa, Black Zetsu may have another origin. It may even be more dangerous than Madara Uchiha."
"Okay."
The two then came to the cell where Black Zetsu was held.
Black Zetsu's treatment was similar to Madara's. His whole body was wrapped in heavy seals. Hearing someone coming in, he raised his head with some difficulty. He couldn't see it now because his Sharingan was sealed.
This time, Nagato did not ask questions, but directly summoned Human Path.
"Read his memory."
Six Paths of Pain has many uses besides fighting. Human Path can not only attack the soul, but also read the opponent's memory.
Reanimated Madara cannot be read. There are many reasons. The other party is Reanimated Body, which has no body, and does not even have a brain. The other one is that Reanimated Body also has Rinnegan. Although Authority is not high, it does exist after all. Human Path of Nagato cannot be read.
However, Black Zetsu theoretically does not have this problem. The bit format of Mangekyō is lower than Rinnegan, and Human Path can theoretically be read.
Reaching out and pressing Black Zetsu's head, Human Path directly forcibly read Black Zetsu's skills.
But soon, a strange expression appeared on Human Path's face.
"What's wrong?" Konan next to him noticed something was wrong with Nagato's face.
"No, there's something wrong with his memory..."
Nagato manipulated Human Path into Black Zetsu's technique. He quickly sensed the huge and complex memory inside.
Some of them are the skills of a Uchiha ninja named Obito. In addition, there are a large number of chaotic and unknown memories.
Nagato concentrated on searching for the information he wanted. He wanted to know what Black Zetsu was, and what was the purpose of his and Madara Uchiha's arrest?
But no, he didn't find the information he wanted. This was very wrong, because he had obviously penetrated into the brain of this body, so why couldn't he find the information he wanted?
At this time, a person, or a humanoid existence, suddenly appeared in front of Nagato.
Nagato was shocked, and then realized that he was in Black Zetsu's consciousness. The existence in front of him was not a real person.
That humanoid existence was covered in white flesh or something else. It didn't seem to have much ability to move.
But he still moved his body with difficulty, and the white object on his face slowly cracked open, revealing the face named Obito Uchiha that Nagato saw in his memory.
Obito tore White Zetsu off his body with difficulty and said something to Nagato.
"Be careful, it escaped..." Then Obito was once again covered by a large number of White Zetsu and lost consciousness.
"Escaped? Black Zetsu!!!"
Nagato woke up suddenly and then returned to reality.
"Sound the alarm, Black Zetsu is not in this body!!!"
