I'm running out of time to type this chapter, so please update it later. Thank you.
"From the day my mother created me, I have only one mission: I must not fail here!"
Faced with a seemingly inescapable predicament, Black Zetsu did not give up the last shred of hope. Countless White Zetsu rushed towards the secret chamber from underground at the same time. Since it was Summoning Technique, it must have an external physical form. As long as the power was sufficient to break the physical form of the summoned beast, a sliver of hope for escape could be gained!
Orochimaru, however, paid no attention to Black Zetsu's dying struggle. The defense of the Sage-level Orochimaru of Ryūchi Cave was not something that a mere White Zetsu could shake.
"I've heard you're a product of the Sage of Six Paths of Sage of Six Paths' era. Tell me about that time, and perhaps if it satisfies me, you'll have a chance to leave."
"How about this gift? If Obito- kun is satisfied, we can discuss the specific details of our collaboration."
Orochimaru grinned sinisterly. He didn't tell Black Zetsu or Obito that the Cursed Seal's ability to control the Impure World Reincarnation was actually quite limited; the stronger the Impure World Reincarnation was, the weaker the control effect.
As for controlling Madara Uchiha... it might be possible if it's a low-quality Impure World Reincarnation, but if it's Madara Uchiha in his prime...
If he could truly control Madara Uchiha to become his henchman, why would he bother to waste his breath and cooperate with Black Zetsu to deceive Obito?
Obito Uchiha silently used the Kamui Dimension to store the box away; perhaps it would come in handy sometime...
"How should we cooperate? And what can you do, Orochimaru?" Obito couldn't refuse Orochimaru's conditions unless he was already prepared to fight Madara Uchiha.
"Actually, the content of the cooperation is very simple." Orochimaru clapped his hands with a smile, and one coffin after another rose from the ground, instantly turning the perfectly good secret room into a tomb.
"I will provide Akatsuki with Impure World Reincarnation ninjas, including but not limited to former Jinchūriki, Kage from various villages, and other Kekkei Genkai ninjas. Oh, and members of Akatsuki who have already died can also be resurrected."
These conditions are beyond generous. If Obito only reluctantly agreed to cooperate before, he is now eager to cooperate.
All the Impure World Reincarnation Nagato had Rinnegan, so the Impure World Reincarnation Jinchūriki must possess Tailed Beast Chakra, right? It practically skipped the whole process of collecting Tailed Beast!
The Kage of each village, the ninjas with Kekkei Genkai, and the Akatsuki members who have already died can all make up for Obito's lack of available ninjas. In fact, these Impure World Reincarnation ninjas can play a very important role in the future battle against Naoki Senju!
But the rewards are always proportional to the effort. With such abundant rewards, the effort must also be painful... No, it's not just a matter of pain anymore; Orochimaru is definitely prepared for a feast!
Before catching large prey, pythons will starve themselves for months, even regurgitating partially digested food from their stomachs, in order to ensure they can swallow the prey whole.
Orochimaru's actions now resemble those of a python; for greater gains, he has decided to relinquish all the benefits of the Impure World Reincarnation.
"As expected, Obito- kun is a smart man. My condition is very simple—hand over the other Rinnegan for me to study."
The pleasant atmosphere in the arena suddenly froze. Obito, who had been eager to cooperate, turned hostile and his cold gaze seemed to want to crush the overconfident Orochimaru to dust.
After Nagato was killed, Obito, as the victor, naturally dug out a pair of Rinnegan. However, he did not want to give up the Mangekyō Sharingan, so he only transplanted one Rinnegan. The other eye was hidden in Obito's secret base, and absolutely no one knew about it.
Orochimaru's current ambition to acquire another Rinnegan has undoubtedly crossed Obito's line, a Obito will never tolerate.
" Orochimaru, do you want to die?" Obito Sharingan resembled a wild beast that preyed on its prey, and it was the most dangerous beast after it was injured.
"Of course not, my price will definitely satisfy Obito- kun." Orochimaru clapped his hands, and another coffin rose from the ground.
"Do you remember what I said? As long as there's a single cell left, anyone who has died can be resurrected; the time it takes is not an issue at all..."
The coffin lid slowly opened, and white gas dissipated in all directions. The Impure World Reincarnation ninja gradually regained consciousness, Obito seemed to have seen the figure that haunted his dreams.
But the next moment...
Snap--
The coffin lid was slammed shut, forcibly interrupting the Impure World Reincarnation ritual. In reality, the process could have been completed in an instant, but Orochimaru wanted to give Obito time to stop it. After all, there is nothing more pleasurable than manipulating people's hearts.
"... I agree to your conditions. The cell collection will be handled by White Zetsu. I need to gather Jinchūriki as quickly as possible!"
Obito, panting heavily, struggled to suppress the urge to open the coffin. It was such a simple action, yet it seemed to have exhausted all of Obito's strength.
After saying that, the coffin was put into the Kamui Dimension, and even Obito himself entered the Kamui Dimension, giving Orochimaru no chance to refuse.
But after Obito left, Black Zetsu, his face grim, stopped Orochimaru and expressed his anger in a low, hoarse voice:
"What are you doing! Who told you to Impure World Reincarnation that person? This is completely different from our plan!"
Black Zetsu miscalculated. He never expected that Orochimaru, with just a name, could successfully uncover events from nearly twenty years ago in such a short time, and even find Rin Nohara's cells!
"Damn it, weren't you guys already destroying Rin Nohara's body? And where did Orochimaru get these cells?" Black Zetsu cursed White Zetsu inwardly. After Rin Nohara, the temporary Three-Tails Jinchūriki, died...
The Land of Rain, Amegakure, or more accurately, Amegakure that has become ruins.
Temporary tents were erected around the ruins. These were Amegakure who had returned from a mission only to find that not only their homes were gone, but their entire village was also destroyed.
Fortunately, the timely appearance of ' Pain's Deva Path ' stabilized the situation and immediately organized search and rescue and repair work; otherwise, half of the ninjas in Amegakure might have defected.
Even so, White Zetsu still managed to capture quite a few Amegakure who were preparing to defect, and these 'potential defectors' naturally became fertilizer for White Zetsu.
Although Amegakure was destroyed, this issue wouldn't affect the Eye of the Moon Plan, so Obito and Black Zetsu care too much. At most, they would use the Rinnegan to manipulate the nearly damaged ' Pain's Deva Path ' to make an appearance in Amegakure and stabilize morale.
What truly troubled them was the long-delayed Eye of the Moon Plan.
Kisame Hoshigaki and Uchiha Itachi were tasked with capturing the Two-Tails. Their mission was accomplished, but not entirely.
