"Whatever it is, just don't go up against Uchiha Hakumochi." Black Zetsu decided not to confront Uchiha Hakumochi.
There's no benefit in confronting them now; in fact, it would only harm you. Since there's no benefit, it's natural not to confront them. This is a very simple principle.
"I'm not reconciled!"
However, Obito Uchiha was not happy about it.
“You have absolutely no hope against him now.” Black Zetsu was stunned when he saw this, thinking, “Are you really that stubborn?” But he couldn’t let Obito Uchiha act recklessly like this.
If you act recklessly, I'll be the one who suffers!
"What's there to be afraid of?" Obito Uchiha snorted coldly, clearly not afraid at all, although he was actually quite scared, but he couldn't back down in front of Black Zetsu.
Do you think I don't know if you're scared or not?
Black Zetsu thought to himself, "You're really good at pretending. Do you think I can't tell if you're scared or not? Obito, you're just asking for trouble. Don't make me clean up your messes all the time."
You've already died once, yet you still act so crazy. You know there's no hope against Uchiha Hakubaku, so don't try anything reckless...
Seriously, grow up!
In his view, Obito was not mature at all; on the contrary, he was a bit out of his mind, couldn't figure himself out, and was simply sick.
“Obito, as I just mentioned, we were lying low and waiting for the latest breakthrough in the Impure World Reincarnation.”
"You only have the right to say no once you've been strengthened."
Black Zetsu just hopes Obito can mature a bit.
Having already suffered losses, do you still want to court death?
If you can't win, why bother joining in? Don't think you're so great just because you have dual Kamui. I don't object to you dealing with other people, but what about dealing with Uchiha Hakubaku?
Dual Divine Might is probably not enough, or rather, with your current Edo Tensei body, it's far from sufficient, because you're not powerful enough...
If you're not strong enough, then don't try to court disaster.
I'll say it again: act within your means and don't always try to do something reckless, as that will only affect the Eye of the Moon project.
"Alright, so why are you telling me this?" Obito fell silent for a moment before asking again.
Okay, after saying so much, what exactly do you want to achieve?
"Because of what happened in Konoha, or what happened in Uchiha Hakumoku, the rest of the ninja world felt the crisis. The Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, Onoki, has secretly contacted various parties, especially other ninja villages such as Kumogakure, Kirigakure, and Sunagakure, and they have secretly made contact in an attempt to unite against Konoha."
Obito Uchiha couldn't understand why he was telling him all this, specifically mentioning these things... Uh? You don't actually think these people are useful, do you?
"What do you want to say?"
unconfirmed.
Black Zetsu has so many ideas, but are they really useful? He finds it hard to believe and can't be sure if that's the case.
"I would say, since Onoki dared to do this, why didn't he make sure it all went smoothly?"
what you want to say?
What I'm trying to say is that since Konoha, led by Uchiha Hakumoku, is being so aggressive that Onoki is even trying to unite with other ninja villages to fight against them...
We need to facilitate this kind of thing, and secretly get involved behind the scenes.
Amegakure (the Hidden Rain Village) is a place where you can get involved, did you know that?
We are now also a member of Akatsuki.
This organization controls the Land of Rain.
Why not lend a helping hand to Amegakure from behind the scenes when you control Amegakure?
No matter how powerful Konoha is, it's impossible for them to truly stand up against other countries. Even if Uchiha Hakumoku has that kind of strength, Konoha doesn't. As long as they can hold off Uchiha Hakumoku, other forces can unite and perhaps defeat Konoha.
Without Konoha, what good is Uchiha Hakumochi, no matter how powerful he is?
Of course, this is just one of Black Zetsu's ideas.
Because he knew that if Bai Mu could really activate the complete Susanoo, then only Madara Uchiha would be able to defeat him, and without Madara Uchiha, it would be impossible to win.
However, the current goal is to create trouble for Konoha and cause problems for Hakubaku, and major powers like Iwagakure and Kumogakure are the best forces to restrain them.
"You want these forces to unite and deal with Konoha?" Obito Uchiha finally understood, but he didn't believe it at all.
Don't you think about how the five major powers have been fighting each other for years, with such deep-seated hatred? How could they possibly unite?
It's highly likely that instead of uniting to deal with Konoha, they'll start fighting amongst themselves.
"Yes, that's right."
Black Zetsu replied with certainty.
This is my idea, and at least it's a very good approach.
"It's impossible. The ninja villages of Iwagakure and Kumogakure can't unite. Besides, do you think Nagato would be willing? He hates the great powers to the core. Your method is very good, it sounds very good, but it will be difficult to implement."
Obito Uchiha didn't trust this method at all; it was just Black Zetsu's wishful thinking. His idea was wonderful, but it would be very difficult to actually put into practice.
Oh, execution? That's impossible; it's impossible to succeed.
"Nothing is impossible because the external pressure is too great. Uchiha Hakubaki poses a threat, so even if Onoki and the others are unwilling, they have to unite to fight against Konoha."
"Also, Uchiha Hakumoku went too far in his attack on Kumogakure, and more importantly, he took the Two-Tails. This is something that worries me a lot, and I'm concerned..."
Black Zetsu left it at that, but he made it very clear: Is Uchiha Hakubaku planning to attack the Tailed Beasts? This concerns the Eye of the Moon Plan, and it cannot be taken lightly.
Chapter 190 Obito, this is for the Eye of the Moon Plan!
Project Eye of the Moon!
That is something that cannot be lost.
Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha's expression changed drastically.
The Tailed Beasts are crucial to the Eye of the Moon Plan. If the Tailed Beasts are all in Konoha's hands, or rather, in Hakubaki's hands, how can this plan work?
"You mean, Uchiha Hakubaki has become interested in the Tailed Beasts?" Uchiha Obito couldn't tolerate this. If that were true, what would happen to his Infinite Tsukuyomi?
"Uncertain, but possible."
Black Zetsu cannot confirm whether it is true or not, but we can suspect it for now, otherwise you can't explain it. So, the fact that Uchiha Hakumochi personally took action in Konoha's questioning of Iwagakure makes one wonder about his motives.
"Konoha investigated for a few days and then issued this announcement, meaning that Iwagakure must take responsibility for this matter. Konoha will send a small team to Iwagakure. It is now certain that Uchiha Hakumo is the leader of this team, meaning that Uchiha Hakumo will personally go to Iwagakure."
As Black Zetsu continued to explain, Obito Uchiha was now in a state of confusion, wondering what he should do.
"So what are you going to do?"
After a long silence, Obito Uchiha finally spoke.
Now that you know almost everything, what are you going to do? Are you going to help Iwagakure? The problem is, you also said that you can't have a direct confrontation with Uchiha Hakubaki, so what's the point of saying all this?
Black Zetsu replied: "Sasori, Kakuzu, and Hiruko can all take action. I'm not saying they have to stop anything, but they should go to the Land of Earth to see the situation. If necessary, they can intervene."
Obito Uchiha sneered, "Do you think you can win?"
Hei Jue said, "We can't beat them, but we can stop Uchiha Hakubaki from attacking the tailed beasts of Iwagakure."
I know I can't win, but my only goal is to stop Shiramaki from taking the Tailed Beasts away. I can't let the Tailed Beasts of Iwagakure fall into Shiramaki's hands...
This matter is of utmost importance.
"Prevent?"
Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha burst into laughter as if he'd heard a joke. "Kakuzu and the others listen to Nagato, right? After all, he's the leader now."
Black Zetsu corrected him: "It was Pain. Nagato was not exposed."
"Payne?"
Obito Uchiha was puzzled.
Black Zetsu continued to explain: "The Rinnegan's ability is that he turned Yahiko's corpse into one of the Pains, allowing it to move using the Six Paths of the Rinnegan. Each puppet has one of the six abilities, and Yahiko's is the Deva Path Pain."
Nagato could actually do that?
Never mind, these things aren't important.
Obito Uchiha was somewhat surprised, but more than that, he didn't care. He had no interest in these matters; his focus now was on matters concerning Konoha.
Since you brought up the issue of Bai Mu, I'd like to know what this guy is up to. Did he go to Iwagakure just to interrogate me?
Also, what you said about suspecting that they were targeting the tailed beasts, but wouldn't doing that mean declaring war on Iwagakure?
Is war about to break out again?
It's only been a year...
Are we going to continue?
To be honest, I have serious doubts about this.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. I can't accept all of this, and I can't believe things have turned out this way. Doesn't Bai Mu fear anything?
"I don't know, but I'm sure this is the direction it's heading." Although Obito Uchiha didn't believe it, Black Zetsu dared to say that this was how things were going to develop, and it was very likely that it would be just as he had thought.
As for whether it's true or not?
That's no longer important.
"What do you want me to do?" Obito Uchiha still found it hard to believe, but the problem was that the decision was no longer in his hands.
why?
Because of the impure world rebirth.
It was Black Zetsu who used the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
Black Zetsu held the reincarnation technique; he couldn't undo it because he knew how, but also because he lacked the strength.
Black Zetsu slowly said, "Let Nagato take action. Send someone to the Land of Earth. If anything changes, lend a hand. As for how to do it, let Nagato take the initiative. To deal with the threat from Konoha, Onoki will definitely be willing to use all available resources. Akatsuki can disguise itself as a mercenary organization and do things for money, since we need money right now."
The organization desperately needs money.
Having Onoki hire Akatsuki serves two purposes: firstly, it generates income, and secondly, it ensures that things stay under our control—killing two birds with one stone…
right?
Anyway, I think this approach is excellent and beneficial to us.
