It's About Time~ (Continued)

The ninjas below were burning with excitement.

Then, to raise morale even further, Baki stepped aside and shouted:

"Does everyone still remember Elder Chiyo?"

The next second, an aged figure walked out from behind him. It was none other than Chiyo, though her body was already covered in the cracks unique to Impure World Reincarnation.

"For the sake of the village, Elder Chiyo did not hesitate to kill herself. The last thing she said to me before dying was that even in death, she would fight alongside Sunagakure!"

"What an inspiring spirit!!!"

Baki shouted, all traces of his earlier composure gone. If Aogetsu Hyuga had been there, he would definitely have called him a "pyramid-scheme leader."

Hearing how resolute and selfless Elder Chiyo had been, the ninjas below were moved to tears, wishing they could take her place.

In the distance, three figures stood in the shadows.

"What a disgusting publicity stunt." Obito could not help commenting.

"That is why we need the Eye of the Moon Plan." A figure spoke as he slowly walked over.

"How is it? Is the Impure World Reincarnation body still suitable?" Zetsu asked curiously.

The sunlight faintly illuminated the figure who appeared behind them. It was none other than Nagato!

Nagato said nothing, as though he was harboring some indescribable emotion.

"What is wrong with you? If you die, we will use Impure World Reincarnation. That was what we agreed on from the beginning, was it not?" Zetsu looked at Nagato, narrowing his eyes.

Nagato glanced at Zetsu, then at Obito, before saying:

"What is the story with Madara Uchiha?"

Obito wore a mask, making his emotions impossible to read. "Did I not tell you? That was merely my cover. Madara Uchiha died a long time ago."

Zetsu had lived for a thousand years
