Chapter 194: Black Zetsu: Is Indra Resurrected? Kakashi: No

"We can't continue like this!"

"In Takigakure, inside a cave, Obito stood on a high mountain gazing into the distance."

"In the distance, everything destroyed by Yuzhi's incarnation as Madara Uchiha remained; the terrifying terrain changes formed ruins that made Obito feel chilled inside."

"And he finally gritted his teeth and made a decision; he is now far too passive!"

"What's wrong?"

"Heijue gave Obito a strange look, he couldn't help but frown and ask."

"I'm saying, we can't continue like this!"

"Obito turned his head, looking seriously at Heijue and said."

"Don't you feel we're too passive now? We can't do anything, we can only wait passively."

"Waiting for Nagato, waiting for Itachi Uchiha to grow, but the enemy won't give us that time!"

"And don't you feel we're too weak now?"

"But what we lack now is nothing else; we all have talent, whether it's Nagato, Itachi Uchiha, or you, it's the same."

"He actually never expected that, a thousand years ago he had already begun slowly 'luring' Indra; he had always occupied the top of the ecological hierarchy, yet he would encounter the present situation."

"Although Obito is basically hopeless, Itachi Uchiha is still quite good!"

"At first this situation was truly humiliating for him, but gradually he himself became accustomed to it."

"Heijue was stunned, he blankly stared at Obito, for a moment his head was full of question marks."

"This guy wants to find someone to block the gun for him!"

"Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, these two abilities in Heijue's view are somewhat limited in applicability, and seem to overlap somewhat with that Uchiha Ying, but overall they are still decent."

"Heijue felt a bit embarrassed; although he didn't want to bring up this issue, the facts are right before his eyes."

"With such a pair of eyes, Itachi Uchiha finally gained the qualification to join the ranks of the strong."

"Habit is a terrifying thing; Obito really can't bear it anymore, he has resolved to change!"

"This makes him want to blurt out to Obito: it's still because of you!"

"But he can't say it like that; he can only soothe and speak."

"What do you think?"

"That woman is too mysterious!"

"He has actually been trying to avoid this issue all along, but Obito has thought of it and he truly has nothing to say."

"In short, Itachi Uchiha completely collapsed, and he also ignited his own Mangekyou Sharingan with a surge of anger."

"This Uchiha Haori, in this strange era of Uchiha explosion, almost beat all his peers."

"But after being beaten by reality so many times, he suddenly found that he didn't seem as resistant to this term as he imagined."

"Madara Uchiha doesn't trust Obito, Obito likewise, but now Obito's experience is really"

"too much of a failure."

"Possibly touching the deepest painful place in his heart, Heijue although worried Obito would stir up something, still patiently asked."

"Through Heijue's efforts, Itachi Uchiha has already obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"It is precisely because he is weak that he is constantly lectured by Haori, and constantly has his hands cut off by Minato Namikaze, Uchiha Ying, even Uchiha Shisui and even Kakashi Hatake."

"Obito hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up!"

"What?"

"This. Indeed somewhat"

"What forced him to kill his own father, then made him wait at the gate while he and his mother stayed inside, and even made him kill his own younger brother, etc."

"Heijue felt somewhat speechless; he had already grasped Obito's thoughts, but after knowing them he again felt some emotion."

"Even I have no way at all; at least I truly have no confidence to deal with him, and even under his influence you can see how strong Konoha has become?"

"Under his manipulation, and under the power of the Bloodline Net, Itachi Uchiha was forcibly dragged into an illusion, even he himself didn't know it was an illusion."

"I plan to resurrect Madara Uchiha in advance!"

"Obito truly doesn't want to say the word 'weak'."

"Uchiha Ying, and also Uchiha Shisui, especially that Uchiha Ying, her eyes can already be reflected on the moon!"

"If she releases that mark through the moon, wouldn't that directly put everyone into an illusion and extract everyone's chakra?"

"Then what's the point of our 'Moon Eye Plan'? It won't succeed; she herself can do it!"

"Look at that Madara Uchiha from another world, look at that Uchiha Haori; their abilities have already surpassed their imagination!"

"He has always wanted to uncover that woman's true identity, but he really dares not approach, because Uchiha Haori is far more terrifying than imagined."

"In terms of assistance and some control abilities, I'm afraid the entire ninja world has no match."

"No, shouldn't you have always disbelieved Madara Uchiha, with your mind full of replacing him?"

"How come now you're thinking of waking this guy up?"

"But in an instant he seemed to understand."

"Heijue knows very well how the Uchiha awaken their eyes; he retained Itachi Uchiha's hatred toward Haori, and according to thinking he created a large number of images that Itachi Uchiha finds hard to bear."

"It must be said that Itachi Uchiha truly experienced a deep, heart-wrenching pain; Heijue although lacking attack power, his own ability is still extremely terrifying."

"It's just that the ability is slightly lacking, but there are two abilities."

"Obito's hysterical words made Heijue's face grim; in fact he had also considered this."

"Unfortunately Obito doesn't buy it; his gaze remains wandering, and he seems to have already made up his mind."

"Under such continuous failures, Obito's spirit may be scattered, and with strong enemies all around, he has always been used as a target; he probably really can't hold on."

"With enough training, he will surely become an excellent talent!"

"After all, Itachi Uchiha is far more diligent than Obito; as long as he works hard, surpassing Obito is not impossible either."

But can we hold on until that time?

As long as we wait, we can reach the expected point, and we can do everything we want to do."

Does this count as suppressing a generation?

Although thinking this way may be a bit out of date, upon careful thought it doesn't seem wrong.

At times, Black Zetsu also wondered if this Yuzhi was a reincarnation of Indra, but considering the time of Madara's death, he had to shake his head.

"What do you want to do? You wouldn't want to act against Nagato, would you? If that's the case...

"No, Nagato still needs to nurture the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; now is not the time to act against him, although he's becoming increasingly disobedient."

Obito directly cut off Black Zetsu's words, showing he still had some sanity, which made Black Zetsu involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, Black Zetsu realized he had overthought it—this Obito hasn't changed at all!

"So I plan to go to the Leaf Village! I heard..."

"Leaf Village has a technique called Impure World Reincarnation; I think that's most suitable for us!"

——

"I never expected so many things to happen."

Within the Rain Country, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan sat together, but Yahiko's expression was both somewhat confused and helpless.

Not only because he had just been revived, he now felt somewhat unaccustomed, and also because of everything he had heard after his revival.

In his memory, he actually felt as if he had just taken a long sleep, and the endpoint of his memory was after he lunged at Nagato.

But in just one night, Nagato recounted in great detail everything that had happened after Yahiko's death.

No matter how big or small, the narration was very slow, and it only ended at dawn.

"Sorry, Nagato."

After a while, Yahiko helplessly opened his mouth.

He originally died at Nagato's hands on purpose to save Konan, and he himself knew what kind of harm that would cause Nagato.

But at that time, he truly had no other choice, yet he still underestimated the impact of his death on Nagato and Konan.

After his death, Nagato's desire for vengeance merged with his longing for the world, and under the guidance of certain individuals, he ultimately embarked on a direction hard to accept.

"No, I should be the one apologizing, Yahiko."

Nagato's face was full of guilt; he lowered his head and spoke softly, just like when he was a child.

"It's me who turned the Akatsuki Organization into what it is now; it's me who let down your trust; it's me..."

"Alright, don't say more; if it weren't for my death, you wouldn't have become like this."

Yahiko interrupted Nagato's self-blame, and he patted Nagato's shoulder heavily.

"But it's alright; we still have a chance to make amends—at least the Fifth Hokage gave us this opportunity, right?"

That night, Nagato naturally recounted the deal he had with the Fifth Hokage.

Of course, he also mentioned some of the things he and Obito had done against the Leaf Village.

Although they all failed, it still made Yahiko frown.

Fortunately, when Nagato explained some things about the Fifth Hokage—such as the Fifth Hokage wanting to hire them, and their going to the moon—

Such as learning the truth of the ninja world, such as the Fifth Hokage's decisions, etc., Yahiko's complexion gradually eased.

Actually, he now also feels confused about the future of the ninja world; he trusts Nagato, and because of Jiraiya's connection, he trusts the faceless Yuzhi.

Especially according to Nagato's account, Yuzhi's power is already strong enough to easily deal with them, yet he hasn't lifted a finger, which also indicates something.

"Was my previous thinking too naive, or is the truth of the ninja world really like this?"

Yahiko has always been devoted to advocating his teacher Jiraiya's idea of mutual understanding between people, but now he also feels somewhat helpless.

According to Nagato's account, the appearance of another 'mysterious person,' as well as their own realization after becoming leaders of the Rain Country.

They discovered many things that are utterly insignificant in the face of so-called 'village interests' and 'national interests'.

The issue of interests, they never really thought about it carefully, or rather, Jiraiya never taught them about it.

Just now, Nagato's account, as a smart person, Yahiko naturally thought of many things and pondered deeply.

This also somewhat impacted his beliefs, and after learning the 'truth' of the ninja world, he found that Teacher Jiraiya's ideas really had some problems.

If the 'truth' really is like that, then what use is everything they've done?

Fortunately, Nagato didn't let Yahiko suffocate himself completely; he soon revealed Yuzhi's follow-up plan, which made Yahiko's eyes involuntarily light up a bit.

As the true founder of the Akatsuki Organization, Yahiko is not fragile.

If there's a mistake, correct it; if there's a problem, think about what the key to the problem is.

Since the 'truth of the ninja world' is like this, and since 'mutual understanding between people' cannot succeed.

Then why not try some new ways, just as that Fifth Hokage thought—integrate the ninja world and then find a suitable enemy!

The reputation of the Akatsuki Organization has already become foul to some extent, and after his death, its members are all a bunch of rogue ninja.

If so, why not let this Akatsuki Organization become this public enemy?

Moreover, they have the qualifications to be this public enemy, after all, they are nominally going to help those of the Rock Village!

"Yahiko, do you also agree with that Fifth Hokage?"

Nagato seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but he still asked curiously.

"You don't mind the Akatsuki Organization becoming like that?"

"Our organization, from its inception, has had only one purpose: to bring peace to the ninja world."

Yahiko once again lightly patted Nagato's shoulder, and this time he revealed a smile.

"Changing the nation, through interpersonal communication building a bridge of hope toward world peace."

This was our original wish, but now all of this has been changed, and we too have been pushed by the times toward a different direction.

Then why can't we change just like this? Our purpose hasn't changed, our thoughts haven't changed.

Even if we are in darkness, we can still shine; we just need to do what we can and what we're good at, isn't that enough?

Before, we never had the chance to truly stand at a higher vantage point to view everything in the ninja world.

But now we can all do that, so why would we still be confused?

Yahiko's smile was gentle, just like it was over ten years ago when he died; that smile infected Yahiko and likewise infected Konan.

In the past, Yahiko had always been the true mastermind of the Akatsuki Organization, always the one who devised the plans and policies.

Before, Konan and Nagato didn't understand why he insisted on reconciling with Hanzō, but after truly gaining control of the Land of Rain they finally grasped his painstaking intentions.

Yahiko was always the one who saw farthest, always the one who guided them forward!

Then let's continue to play along with those guys, but there are also truly trustworthy people within the Akatsuki Organization.

Konan nodded with a smile; she hadn't smiled in a long time, but after Yahiko's resurrection the situation changed.

Whether it's that 'mysterious person' or the Fifth Hokage, they've met and acted together, so they can also recognize their own positions.

Is it Lord Orochimaru and Scorpion of the Sand Village?

Yahiko still respected Orochimaru greatly; although he knew that guy had defected, as a disciple of Jiraiya he couldn't change his way of speaking right away.

Actually, compared to them, I'm the most curious about that 'mysterious person' who just wants peace no matter how.

He looks like a sage; although he's been using you, he's different from another person, and I really want to talk with him.

After confirming the situation following Yuzhi's resurrection of Yahiko, he turned and left without a moment's pause.

This made Yahiko somewhat regretful, and Konan and Nagato couldn't help but purse their lips, wondering what this guy is busy with.

But Nagato remained alert, because that guy had said, 'He wants Konan.'

What kind of bastard—how could Nagato possibly like him?

He will be met; he's very mysterious, but he has always been devoted to assisting their actions, and he genuinely wants peace.

Compared to Nagato's displeasure, Konan felt okay about Yuzhi's identity as this 'mysterious person'; she smiled and spoke.

Mm, when the time comes I definitely want to have a good talk with him.

Yahiko also nodded with a smile, which made Nagato feel a bit uneasy, but soon both he and Konan paused, then furrowed their brows.

Because the rings of the two of them were faintly glowing at this moment—

Are those people in the Akatsuki Organization crazy?

Inside the Leaf Village, at Yuzhi's home.

Yuzhi sat on the sofa looking at the scroll in his hand, unconsciously tilting his head with a puzzled expression; Hikari sat beside him sipping tea, while Madara Uchiha had a grim face.

Opposite them, Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji were also seated there.

Compared to the casual Naruto and Sasuke, this guy Neji sat upright with proper posture, not daring to utter a sound.

Madara Uchiha's grim expression was entirely understandable, since when Yuzhi appeared this morning he had originally thought this guy had just rested overnight.

But when he saw Yuzhi's reminiscent expression and saw him rubbing his eyes as if about to get up, even an old bachelor would instantly understand.

This damn is the Hokage?

He now understood why he hadn't seen that guy's ANBU guard, and also why the guy had placed so many seals on the door.

You mean you weren't actually resting properly?

What made his expression even worse was that when he posed the question, this guy actually replied with disdain.

Madara Uchiha, you've overstepped.

?

You're merely a Hokage candidate, while I am the Hokage!

And don't forget I am also the Clan Leader; since we are all Clan Leaders, for the future of the Uchiha, why do you criticize me, and moreover you were the first Clan Leader to be dismissed!

At that moment, Madara Uchiha really wanted to strangle this guy; he really wanted to undo the Impure World Reincarnation and look for a chance to revive.

As for investigating the 'Moon Eye Plan', let's put that aside for now—eliminating this guy is the most important!

However, Madara is still relatively rational; although he was so angry he could say nothing, he felt he had seen enough oddballs in his life and didn't care about this Yuzhi.

Especially when he noticed three brats running to his house, although his face darkened he remained relatively calm.

The Hyuga as disciples, political needs? And also the things obtained from the moon.

Although he was really furious, Madara's intellect hadn't dropped much; as for the other two brats.

I don't know why, but he always felt he saw his and ZhuZhang's shadows in those two.

That strange feeling gave him an indescribable sense, though this also requires more observation.

Uncle, didn't you say you wouldn't do work while resting?

Naruto couldn't know what Yuzhi was thinking; looking at his appearance, he couldn't help but purse his lips and speak.

Today is a day off; he originally planned to play with Sasuke, but ended up bumping into Neji who came here to visit his teacher.

The two brats simply decided to come together.

Sasuke had an embarrassed look, but he sat there motionless, not even daring to say 'Sorry for the disturbance, we'll take our leave'.

Obviously, he also really wanted to see more of Yuzhi here, especially now, as he always felt especially comfortable being with Yuzhi.

Although I don't want to, am I actually the Hokage?

Yuzhi shrugged indifferently, handed the information in his hand to Hikari, then smiled and said.

By the way, you two, why did you follow Neji here?

Of course to see how Uncle you're teaching Neji.

Naruto's eyes lit up instantly; he really wanted to see Yuzhi's abilities!

Yuzhi is the Hokage, his father was too, but he has always heard legends about Yuzhi, even more than about his father.

He doesn't doubt its truth, because in his mind his dad is the strongest, and anything his dad praises must be super powerful, of course!

Though there's no visible fighting, it still doesn't seem lacking.

Sasuke is the same; his eyes gleamed as he looked at Yuzhi, clearly harboring desire inside.

Although Yuzhi taught him many things, he is unwilling to miss even a bit, after all this is his father, and he doesn't want Ningci to get something he doesn't have.

"You really are…"

Yuzhi instantly saw the thoughts of the two kids, which made him both laugh and sigh; the kids' possessiveness is absurd, but now he is thinking about other matters.

"What the heck is Obito up to this time?"

The intel was passed into Leaf Village by Nagato through Orochimaru; otherwise Yuzhi wouldn't have received it, and the report was concise: Obito is gathering the Akatsuki Organization to infiltrate Leaf Village.

Yuzhi truly couldn't figure it out—what is Obito, a guy with a wealth of failed experiences, actually thinking, or perhaps…

"He discovered a traitor inside the Akatsuki Organization and wants to use my hand to eliminate the traitor?"

However, Yuzhi has always kept a certain distance from the Akatsuki Organization; even when hiring them he avoided everyone. Could it be that his own use of Obito's identity exposed him?

"Truly a madman."

While Yuzhi was pondering, Hikari also finished reading the intel, hummed lightly and spoke.

"That lunatic, it's Obito, right? He's truly gone completely mad."

"I think so too; he's really beyond saving."

Yuzhi nodded, which left Madara Uchiha looking bewildered—how did this involve Obito again?

That bastard, what does he want to do?

"What do you plan to do about it?"

Hikari glanced at young Madara, thought Yuzhi seemed indifferent, and without concealment asked directly.

"We don't yet understand this idiot's intentions; Nagato didn't say anything either. It seems this guy is on guard."

Nagato?

How deep have you infiltrated the Akatsuki Organization?!

Madara was both shocked and stunned; hearing Obito's name had already made him uneasy, and now hearing Nagato's name made him even more unsettled, so he looked up and asked.

"What exactly is going on, what happened?"

"Hey, how are you speaking to Father, and who are you?"

"Damn guy, do you respect the Hokage or not!"

Before Yuzhi could speak, Naruto and Sasuke couldn't stay seated; they glared at Madara and shouted, and even Ningci frowned at him.

The scene made Madara both angry and amused; it's like a tiger fallen on flat ground being bullied by dogs, right?

"He is the teacher I found for you two."

Yuzhi also found it quite amusing—a former-generation Indra being harshly challenged by contemporary Indra and Asura; this scene is truly interesting.

"What?"

Yuzhi's words instantly made everyone except him and Hikari turn pale; Ningci, Naruto, and Sasuke stared at Madara in shock.

Ningci might be okay; even though he thought it was odd to find such a weird and rude guy, he still decided to "trust the Hokage."

After all, what he can learn here is still limited; what he learns at home is the most important.

Naruto and Sasuke, however, looked incredulous; they had no idea where this guy came from, and why he could be their teacher.

"What do you mean?"

Madara also wore a look of shock and resentment; although he entered Leaf Village under certain conditions, he wasn't there to be a laborer.

"You'll understand later, but for now we have more important matters to attend to."

Yuzhi smiled, letting Madara Uchiha train the person who defeated him in the original work; thinking about it, it's actually quite interesting.

Though the current Madara is as weak as a noob, his experience is indeed ample; he can easily handle any tactic, making him the perfect teacher.

Of course, it's not the time yet; to truly let him take over, they'll wait until after the Moon Operation, since Yuzhi also worries…

Extending his hand, Yuzhi created a clone, then he took Hikari's hand and laughed, saying.

"Ningci, this time the instruction will be outside the village; let's go."

——

"Do you even know what you're doing, Obito!"

Inside the Land of Fire, Kurojitsu stared at the Obito before him, his question sounding almost hysterical.

Obito made a decision and immediately used Kamui to leave for planning, leaving Kurojitsu completely stunned.

He naturally knows what Impure World Reincarnation is, since the records left by Madara mentioned the technique.

He has also studied the technique; he knows its strengths and drawbacks, and using it to awaken Madara is certainly feasible.

But awakening Madara requires too many preparations, which he can't currently manage, and the technique itself is incomplete.

If you really want this technique, why not target Oil Woman Ryoma?

That guy has been researching it all along; why go far to cause trouble for Leaf Village?

Of course, Kurojitsu also knows that attacking Oil Woman Ryoma could endanger every other Akatsuki member.

Moreover, this relates to the difficulty of extracting information, since Oil Woman Ryoma originates from the roots.

If you use genjutsu on him, he might instantly cause a violent death, though his brain remains intact.

Thus even if Mangekyou Sharingan wants to obtain the intel, extracting soul memories still depends on Nagato's mood, and Nagato now can't be trusted?

Only a fool would trust him!

"But that's not a reason to attack Leaf; can you even handle it?"

Kurojitsu was truly desperate; although Obito's plan was decent—having the Akatsuki feint outside and allowing a quick retreat when things go wrong—

And once the Akatsuki draws Yuzhi and others' attention, he will rush into Leaf Village, seize the item, and return with reinforcements.

But Obito kept failing, Black Zetsu really had no confidence in him at all.

I naturally know what I'm doing; he's just accelerating the progress of some plans.

Obito spoke with a bland expression; he had already had enough of Black Zetsu's lecturing, although some of it was indeed correct.

This time it will definitely succeed; as long as we can lure Yuzhi and them into action, then I can achieve my goal as quickly as possible.

Now Nagato and them have already gathered; I think you'd better stop lecturing me, and assisting their actions is the best.

After Obito said that, his body moved slightly, and the surrounding space became distorted at this moment.

In the next instant, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only Black Zetsu with an even uglier expression.

Hopeless idiot!

Black Zetsu cursed under his breath; he could only turn his head and go toward the Akatsuki Organization, and he was truly helpless now.

He knew that his constant advice would only make Obito more impatient, and although Obito's spirit was scattered, he still desired to gain some success.

It can be said that the two have a fundamental contradiction, which is really hard to easily resolve.

Huh? Oh no, they came so fast?

Just as Black Zetsu felt depressed and was heading toward Nagato's direction, he suddenly sensed something, and in the next instant he immediately held his breath and completely hid underground.

As long as he doesn't move randomly, normally it would be hard for anyone to detect him; but when chakra fluctuations appeared and a figure flickering through space appeared on a nearby hill.

In an instant, his expression completely changed.

What's going on, the aura of Indra? Has he been resurrected?

——

Has it started outside?

The earth shook, roars echoed across the sky, and Leaf Village also began orderly defense and reinforcement preparations at this moment.

Obito waited quietly inside the space, watching the figures continually heading outward; after a moment's consideration, he immediately flickered through space toward the Hokage building.

He roughly knew that Leaf Village had something called the 'Seal Scroll', which stored a large amount of Leaf Village secret techniques.

As long as he obtains this scroll, then he can get what he wants, and once he takes this scroll.

Uchiha Haori, even you probably couldn't withstand the outcome of being besieged by Leaf Village!

Obito muttered to himself in his heart, and soon he arrived inside the Hokage office.

Looking at the tidy office, he held the graduation photo of Yuzhi from his childhood placed on the desk.

At the same time there was a photo of the Shadow Guard team with Yuzhi's left hand on Rin's shoulder and right hand on Aoba's body, as well as a photo of Yuzhi and Hikari engaged; at that moment, Obito's fists clenched.

All of this should have been his, but now.

I thought I was mistaken, but it seems I wasn't.

Just as Obito wanted to shout in his heart, 'I want to create a world without you,' suddenly a voice sounded from behind him.

Turning his head, he saw Kakashi had already made a move, the short knife in his hand emitting a cold light.

It's you again, Kakashi Hatake.

Obito suppressed his inner anger, he immediately spoke in a hoarse voice, but the next moment his expression suddenly changed dramatically.

Don't pretend anymore, this is meaningless, and this time I will definitely kill you.

Kakashi spoke in a deep voice, and his Sharingan eye was rapidly spinning.

Obito!

????!!!!
