If we were to ask them to leave Kumogakure now and return to the kind of life they had in Sunagakure or Iwagakure, these civilians and ninjas might not be willing.
The reason is simple: life is good when you follow the Kumogakure. You have money, a powerful backer, and resources.
Unlike the old Sunagakure and Iwagakure poor, who could bear to go back to poverty after getting used to such a wealthy life?
"Hmm, you guys seem pretty clever, you really know how to manipulate people's hearts."
Ziyun smiled mysteriously, then, as if remembering something, changed the subject. "Right, the Shinobi World can't be this peaceful, right? Someone should be causing trouble."
Ziyun was referring to the Akatsuki, of course.
After all, the Nine Tailed Beasts are now under the control of the Kumogakure, so how could the Akatsuki possibly let it go? They will definitely take some action in the next two years.
"Are you talking about the Akatsuki? They did come a few times, (Zhao Nuohao) but they always ran away in defeat, especially that guy with the Rinnegan, I beat him up several times."
Kushina clenched her fists, her emotions running high.
Kushina now possesses Super Kage Level strength, so dealing with Nagato would be no problem for her.
In reality, once Nagato's secret is revealed, he isn't that powerful; he's merely hovering around the level of a Nagato -Quasi-Super Kage Level Super Kage Level.
Moreover, with Tsunade and Mikoto, two Super Kage Level powerhouses, dealing with the Akatsuki would be too easy.
"Oh? You defeated them and that's the end of it?"
Ziyun didn't believe that the Akatsuki would give up so easily.
"No, that's not it. One of them, who called himself Madara Uchiha, wanted to see you, but I didn't agree to meet him since you weren't there."
Mikoto said casually, not taking the matter to heart at all.
"Looks like they haven't given up after all."
Ziyun smiled faintly.
Seeing how indifferent Mikoto was to the Akatsuki, Ziyun could easily imagine the Akatsuki coming to their doorstep.
It's estimated that Mikoto and the others took care of it in just a few moves, otherwise Mikoto wouldn't be so nonchalant.
Moreover, since Obito wants to find me, it means he hasn't given up on the Eye of the Moon Plan. Now that I've come out of seclusion, I'll just wait for him to come knocking on my door.
"If a Masked Man comes looking for me in the future, be sure to let me know."
Ziyun then gave the order that if Obito came looking for him, he should be brought to see her.
Meanwhile, the Akatsuki was also holding intense meetings.
Although it's called an internal meeting, it was actually just Obito and Nagato having the meeting, because within the Akatsuki, only Nagato knew Obito's true identity.
Nagato still believes Obito is Madara Uchiha.
"The situation is extremely urgent. We have no way to break through the Kumogakure's defenses and obtain even one Tailed Beast."
Obito's voice was cold and stern, sounding somewhat dejected.
In the past two years, the Akatsuki and the Kumogakure have fought several times, and each time they were brutally defeated and never even saw Ziyun.
Obito thought that what Madara Uchiha had told him back then was definitely nonsense.
Because Madara Uchiha told me before he died that the Fourth Raikage would not stop the Eye of the Night Plan.
But now that the Tailed Beast are all in the hands of the Kumogakure, it's practically a death sentence for the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Now, without obtaining a single Tailed Beast, the Eye of the Moon Plan is completely impossible to implement, and there's no clue what to do.
"Then what should we do? You know the strength of Kumogakure. Even without the Fourth Raikage's intervention, their Anbu are already a formidable opponent."
Nagato felt a sharp pain in his head.
They originally thought that Six Paths of Pain would be able to successfully seize the Tailed Beast, but they didn't expect that the Kumogakure seemed to know them very well and was completely familiar with Six Paths of Pain's information.
Once the cover of intelligence is removed, Nagato's strength is actually only around the Peak Kage Level. After all, the Rinnegan is not his eye, and he still needs many limitations to use it perfectly.
Even in the original story, if Jiraiya had known about Nagato's situation, he probably wouldn't have died, and he could have taken several people with him.
" Nagato, there's only one way now."
Suddenly, Obito's eyes turned extremely cold, as if he had made up his mind.
Then, for some reason, Nagato suddenly found himself unable to move, as if he were being controlled.
"What... what are you trying to do?"
Nagato wasn't really on guard against Obito, so he was careless. Now that Black Zetsu has possessed and controlled him, he started questioning Obito.
"Let me tell you the truth, you're just a pawn in my game. These eyes don't belong to you."
Seeing that Black Zetsu had successfully taken control of Nagato, Obito sneered.
Since Nagato is going to die, I don't care whether I tell him the truth or not. It's better for him to be a wise person before he dies.
What do you mean by that?
Nagato struggled to regain control of his body, but found that he was unable to do so.
Although Black Zetsu is not a combat type, once he possesses you, it's hard to resist.
Even powerful Six Paths Obito ) and Six Paths Madara ) could be killed by Black Zetsu, let alone a mere Nagato.
Shinra Tensei!
Nagato attempted to break free using the Six Paths Power, but failed.
"Don't bother trying, you can't escape. Since you're going to die anyway, I'll let you die knowing why."
Obito sneered, then removed his mask.
"You're not Madara Uchiha?"
Upon seeing Obito's face, Nagato realized he had been deceived; Obito was definitely not Madara Uchiha.
"That's right, but that's irrelevant now. To be honest, your Rinnegan actually belongs to Madara Uchiha. He chose you to be a pawn in his plan."
"However, due to the Fourth Raikage, the plan has changed, and in order to carry it out, I have to change my mind."
Obito said calmly.
At the same time, Obito used Kamui to absorb Black Zetsu and Nagato into another dimension.
After an unknown amount of time, Obito released Nagato from the Kamui Dimension, and Nagato then found an old corpse in front of him.
What do you want with me here?
Nagato asked coldly, a sense of foreboding creeping into his heart.
"Of course, we must implement the Eye of the Moon Plan, the most important part of which is to seize the Nine Tailed Beasts."
"However, neither you nor I have the strength to compete for it. In order to realize the Eye of the Moon Plan, I must summon that guy."
Obito's eyes turned obsessive.
Actually, he had long since given up on reviving Madara Uchiha. He wanted to rely on his own power to fight for the Tailed Beast, become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and create a world with Rin.
Unfortunately, I am too weak. Let alone all nine Tailed Beast, I can't even collect a single Tailed Beast.
With no other option, Obito had to change his original plan, even if it meant reviving Madara Uchiha.
In Obito's view, only Madara Uchiha at his peak could collect all Nine Tailed Beasts; he couldn't do it on his own.
" Black Zetsu, make your move."
At Obito's command, Black Zetsu began to act, manipulating Nagato to Hand Seals.
"What is this Hand Seals?"
Nagato sensed the Hand Seals, his eyes widening as he instantly understood what Obito was about to do.
"You want to revive Madara Uchiha!" Nagato shouted.
"That's right, for the Eye of the Moon Plan, for Rin, we'd even risk Madara's resurrection."
Obito shouted sternly, and then Black Zetsu controlled Nagato, completing the Hand Seals.
Green life force emanated from Nagato's body and landed on Madara Uchiha's aged corpse.
Within minutes, Madara Uchiha was resurrected, and he appeared in his prime, in his youthful form.
"Oh? You've been resurrected? You've completed your plan, haven't you?"
After Madara Uchiha was resurrected, he exuded a sharp aura. Although his eyes were closed, he still gave people a powerful sense of oppression.
"It's not finished. The plan has changed. It seems you'll need to personally complete the collection of the Tailed Beast."
Obito said coldly.
"What's going on?" Madara Uchiha's voice suddenly changed, becoming serious as he questioned.
"Hmph, didn't you say back then that the Fourth Raikage wouldn't stop us?"
"As a result, he collected all the Tailed Beast Tailed Beast, while we couldn't collect even one. Isn't that obstruction?"
Obito's tone was reproachful.
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha furious!
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha into a rage!
"Are you serious? Yeyue Ziyun really do that?"
Madara Uchiha's tone was very unfriendly, and his arrogant and Haki aura was constantly released, making Obito, Zetsu, and the others present feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Of course it's true, otherwise I wouldn't have revived you without collecting a single Tailed Beast."
