Mangekye Sharingan is the true, all-transcendent, absolute power. How can a pathetic Rinnegan compare to him?
It was at this moment that Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu entered the room.
"Nagato, how is your body recovering?"
— I feel like I've almost recovered! Nagato said, looking at them.
Black Zetsu came over and started examining his body.
—Hmm, the recovery is going great. Nagato, your spine is well connected to this body. Although Senju Hashirama's cells had corroded the remaining flesh quite badly, at least the brain was not damaged. You're almost completely healed!
He examined Nagato's neck, which was covered with many disgusting-looking scars, and touching his spine, he felt that it had become very hard.
— Oh, Nagato, the ninjas of the whole world have already realized that there is no way they can kill Uchiha Yue. Now it's just a matter of waiting for them to fully accept this reality and fall into despair. Then it will be our time to act, the time to open a new era! Uchiha Obito said, looking at Nagato.
He was already getting worried. Just now, he and Black Zetsu were discussing that we shouldn't let these ninjas continue to do whatever they want.
At first they didn't think much of it. Hidden Cloud Village has failed, so let it. It was even for the best: the rest of the ninja in the world found out how terrible Uchiha Yue was, that he wasn't someone such weaklings could handle. Despair, be afraid, and then obediently enter a new world with me.
But, damn it, how could you drag jinchuuriki to a fight with Uchiha Yue? Did they almost let jinchuuriki die?
Yes, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu finally realized this and were horrified. Two jinchuuriki from Hidden Cloud Village were killed almost instantly by Uchiha Yue. And if a mysterious stranger hadn't appeared then and taken them away, if they had just been allowed to fall, perhaps these two Tailed Beasts would have already died along with their carriers.
Holy shit!
You can seek death yourself, but don't bring the Tailed Beasts with you, okay?
Previously, Black Zetsu and Obito didn't pay much attention to this, after all, Tailed Beasts can't really die, they respawn even after death. But what time is it now? A few more months, and this world will be completely shrouded in darkness. In such a short period of time, if the Tailed Beasts died, what would they do? The plan will completely fail!
Even now, there was a vague unease in the hearts of Black Zetsu and Obito. They didn't know who this mysterious stranger was or why he had taken jinchuuriki from Hidden Cloud Village. Their only hope was that this man, even if he tortured them, turned them into a "stick man" or even made bowls out of them, would still let these two live. At the very least, let him extract the Tailed Beasts before the Jinchuuriki die.
If they had realized this earlier, they should have been proactive and taken these two jinchuuriki away. It's too late to regret now. This mysterious stranger must have caught jinchuuriki for some kind of plan of his own. It's impossible for him to just watch them die, otherwise why would he take them away?
That was all they could hope for, if only the Tailed Beasts would stay alive.
— good... When the time comes, I'll call Orochimaru to learn that fuinjutsu.
Nagato nodded. In the end, he still went down this path. Unfortunately, he didn't know that Orochimaru had already escaped.
"This.".. We've almost finished our research, and we don't need Orochimaru's help anymore.
Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu exchanged glances. Although Obito himself practically did not participate in the study, Black Zetsu brought the work on fuinjutsu to sixty percent. There wasn't much time left to complete it completely. In fact, they didn't refuse other people's help in principle, they refused to help Orochimaru. Senju Tobirama's existence could too easily reveal Obito Uchiha's true identity.
— Have you almost finished your research? Nagato lowered his head, his heart was bitter. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
As a result, Nagato again allocated a large sum of money to the two of them and added that if they needed help from the organization, they could request it at any time.
If Orochimaru needs to be smart... Nagato was quite pleased with Orochimaru. He asked them to research a way that would allow him to harmlessly enter the Area of Dead Silence to meet Uchiha Yue, and they actually found such a way. Unfortunately...
Shortly after, Nagato received news that Orochimaru had left and was heading to Konoha. Well, it looks like Orochimaru won't be able to help Uchiha Obito and the others.
"That idiot Nagato... If this guy hadn't arbitrarily run to Uchiha Yue to seek death, we would have been able to act directly right now! Uchiha Obito cursed, standing next to Black Zetsu.
—Hehe, there's no need to rush. We still have time. Let's wait for Nagato to recover a little more. He's not in the best shape right now, he hasn't fully recovered. If we act hastily and accidentally damage those eyes, it won't be good," Black Zetsu shook his head and said calmly.
That was why they decided not to act now, but to wait a few days for the failure of Hidden Cloud Village and the despair sown by Uchiha Yue to be properly "infused". It was necessary for people to feel their own powerlessness, and then the hope they would bring would become even more precious.
In addition, Nagato's body was in poor condition right now, and his strength was significantly inferior to before. If he had been in his best shape, they could have acted immediately, without waiting for despair to fully "infuse", and by force, relying on absolute superiority and the name of last hope, unite the entire Shinobi world and begin their plan. Instead of waiting for despair to "infuse" and Nagato's body to fully recover.
Before this despair finally "settles", before the ninja completely immerse themselves in it, if Nagato, who no longer possesses his former strength, recklessly enters the world, especially sensitive Shinobi can attack him together. After all, who's to blame for Nagato losing that overwhelming power? Nagato's death is no big deal, but if something happens to those eyes, that would be bad.
"For now, let White Zetsu first check the condition of the Tailed Beasts in all the great villages. Let's hope nothing happened...
In fact, they should have been concerned about the safety of the Tailed Beasts long ago. But because of Nagato's unauthorized actions, the fuinjutsu that Orochimaru was supposed to study fell into their hands. All this time...
