"Oh?"
"This is Demonic Statue of the Outer Path--"
In the stronghold where Land of Grass and Madara Uchiha were alive.
An unexpected person appeared here, looking at the huge demon statue in front of him that seemed to be embedded in the mountain, and smiled in a strange tone.
"The next Shinobi World war will definitely be caused by Sunagakure."
"At that time, Sunagakure will be in a situation where one is against many. Fourth Kazekage also knows very well that even if he single-handedly raised the current Sunagakure to this position, it will be difficult to compete with the other four ninja villages if he relies solely on the strength of the village."
"Even if Sunagakure can win in the end, it will definitely suffer heavy losses."
In the shadows, a deep voice sounded.
Orochimaru withdrew his gaze and looked at the "person" in the dark, "So - what is your purpose of finding me?"
"You have become a traitor - even if you want to attack Konoha in the future, as long as Minato Namikaze is still alive - it will be difficult for you to have a chance."
"I can help you achieve your plans."
"I have only one purpose, to destroy Sunagakure and kill Fourth Kazekage.
"This is why you helped me escape from the pursuit of Hiruzen Sarutobi--"
Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth.
"It seems--you really hate him--"
The people in the shadows were silent.
"However, as expected of Fourth Kazekage, he is really smart - he has made plans so early to deal with the war in the future -
No wonder Danzo and the old man are not his "opponents", they have been manipulated by him all the time, it is really powerful."
Orochimaru pinched his chin and muttered to himself.
There was a certain light in his eyes.
"I can provide you with Sunagakure's internal research data that you are very interested in - including the genetic medicine that Fourth Kazekage is researching. If you want to form your own force, I can also provide you with clues."
"Currently, there is no one in Shinobi World who can kill Fourth Kazekage alone - but starting from Fourth Shinobi World War, as long as the plan is right, even those who are stronger than him will still face death. It is best to let him and Minato Namikaze die smoothly in this war. In this way, it will be beneficial to both you and me."
"Why me?"
Orochimaru smiled.
Meaning, why does the other person think that he will help him?
Moreover, Yubi's strength is recognized by Shinobi World - why does the other party think that he has the ability to kill Fourth Kazekage?
"The power of Sunagakure has only gradually risen in the past ten years--different from Konoha. Although the current Konoha seems to be inferior to Sunagakure, its background is still the deepest among Five Great Shinobi Villages--if nothing else, Impure World Reincarnation alone is enough to do some incredible things--"
"First, Second Hokage - including Madara Uchiha, if you can channel it, you may not be able to deal with it at the critical moment even if you are Fourth Kazekage."
"Madara Uchiha's body is now in the hands of Fourth Kazekage, but I also have Impure World Reincarnation's sacrifice in my hands.
All in all, as long as Fourth Kazekage is dead, Rinnegan, Mangekyō Sharingan - you can get it at your fingertips."
"Hehehehe."
Hearing these words, Orochimaru suddenly laughed in a low voice.
"What are you laughing at?"
the man in the shadow asked.
"Let me confirm again."
Orochimaru looked at the former, "You are the product created by Madara Uchiha to destroy Konoha, right? It's just unlucky that you were bumped into by Fourth Kazekage and controlled by him. You are currently working for Sunagakure--"
"That's right."
"Hmm--sounds interesting."
Orochimaru said, "If you want me to agree, you must at least prove your ability and the value of cooperating with you."
"What do you want?"
"What you said are several genetic medicines that Fourth Kazekage is researching."
"Yes - but not that quickly."
"I'm very patient."
Orochimaru smiled.
Then, the conversation between the two stopped abruptly.
Orochimaru glanced back at the passage in the base and heard footsteps.
He disappeared in an instant.
Not long after, Sunagakure Anbu, who was responsible for guarding this stronghold, walked out of the channel and entered the underground space.
He looked around the empty cave and frowned.
After confirming that there was no problem, he turned around and left.
This person - one of the spies sent by Yubi personally to monitor the production of "White Zetsu."
At the same time, it was also to keep an eye on Black Zetsu.
Yubi sent a total of two people.
They are all elite Jonin transplanted from Sharingan.
After Sunagakure left, Black Zetsu emerged from the shadows."
At this time, it was not with White Zetsu, but acting alone.
That's right, after thinking about it, Black Zetsu still doesn't want to sit still and wait for death."
Although Yubi promised that it would resurrect Otsutsuki Kaguya in the future, Black Zetsu always felt that the other party was not sincere. During this period, it followed Yubi, making insinuations and trying to find out some of Yubi's plans and ideas, but was rejected by the other party.
It was "blocked".
Obviously he is deliberately wary of it.
Moreover, he was sent to this stronghold and was responsible for matters related to White Zetsu every day. He was purely a tool man.
Don't let it interfere with Sunagakure's affairs.
So, Black Zetsu finally found Orochimaru.
It has now completely abandoned Madara's Eye of the Moon Plan and used it to resurrect Kaguya.
It just wants the Fourth Kazekage that is pressing on its head to disappear - as long as Yubi lives for one day, it will not be able to continue to advance its layout.
As long as Yubi is dead - then it only needs to find similar characters like Madara and Obito, including Nagato, at a certain point in the future.
Black Zetsu A risk must be taken.
And Fourth Shinobi World War is the opportunity.
It has enough time to lay out --
In addition, it is also an intuition.
Black Zetsu has a hunch that Fourth Kazekage is going to attack him.
But not now--
It must deal with it so that when it turns against it in the future, it will have a trump card.
Orochimaru is the best candidate.
Now he has become a traitor.
He found Orochimaru and did not hesitate to expose his existence and disguise it. He did not expect Orochimaru to help him resurrect Kaguya - he simply wanted to kill Yubi with the help of Orochimaru.
That's all.
Complete phased plans.
As long as Yubi dies, it will disappear immediately, and then - when the time is right in the future, it will rely on someone to achieve its goals again.
"If it fails--"
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu's mind sank.
Judging from its current observations, Yubi is related to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
It is possible that some situations may have arisen due to my own strength."
It's not as scary as I thought.
Otherwise - to deal with the four major ninja villages, there is no need to use these White Zetsu as cannon fodder.
In other words - during this period, I still have the ability to "kill the opponent."
However, be careful.
