If you accidentally step on Nagato and crush him to death, if due to some unforeseen circumstance their plan is ruined by Jigen before it even starts, then everything is over.
The same was true of Uchiha Obito and the Black Zetsu.
A thousand years ago, the cursed Ootsutsuki brothers defeated his mother. A thousand years later, he didn't want someone with the blood of the Ootsutsuki clan to be born and ruin his plan to resurrect his mother.
He didn't want history to repeat itself—it would just be humiliating!
Of course, it was impossible to tell the others about it.
They naturally had a ready answer to their questions.
"Because..." Uchiha Obito stopped and looked at the crowd. "The child of the prophecy exists! We can't let our plan affect Mr. Jigen's search for the Child from the Prophecy!
"If others find out about our plan to hide from the world, their hearts will be in turmoil. This will affect the search!
— When there is another way, a new hope for salvation, instead of looking for the Child from the prophecy, they will start looking for a way to join us and enter a new era. This will be a huge hindrance to the original plan!
— Right now, the Child from the prophecy is the only hope for survival for the entire Shinobi world. Even Mr. Jigen came just to find him. Mr. Jigen, you can say that he is our hope, but even he is not sure about the current state of the Child from the prophecy!
"What if Mr. Jigen finds out about our plan?" What if he gives up on the search or stops taking it seriously?
"Besides, our plan will only save a handful of people in the end. Not everyone can survive. It's just a way to keep the spark alive for this world. The true hope is the Child of prophecy! Therefore, for the sake of this world, we cannot let others, and especially Mr. Jigen, know about our plan!
Uchiha Obito's words echoed in the ears of those present. So that's the thing!
So it's all for the sake of peace!
Indeed, if this is the case, then Mr. Jigen should not find out about the existence of a plan to hide from the world.
"That's it... This is really a problem. Saving the majority is always better than saving the few!
Everyone understood.
— However, Mr. Jigen has the gift of foresight! Rasa expressed his doubts. — How can you be sure that he won't find out about your plan?
If this is the second way to salvation, then why didn't Jigen say anything from the very beginning, except that only the Child from the prophecy can save the world? After all, there is another way.
But Mr. Jigen never mentioned him. If that's not the way to escape, doesn't that mean they're doomed to fail?
Uchiha Obito and his companions were also thinking about this question, and therefore none of them dared to stray far from it now.
However, after careful discussion, they came to a conclusion.
— Because only the Child from the prophecy can save the Shinobi world! And what we're doing is saving the world?
— Although I don't want to admit it, we're not saving the Shinobi world. We are hiding, escaping from a future in which death awaits us!
— And this solitude will last for who knows how many years. In the future that Mr. Jigen saw, we were definitely not there!
— After all, Mr. Jigen's prophecies are not omnipotent. If that were the case, he would have known long ago where the Child from the prophecy was, and would not have used the forces of the entire Shinobi world to search for him!
Yes, that's exactly the conclusion Uchiha Obito and the others came to. Jigen is not omnipotent. If he were omnipotent, he would have found the Child from the prophecy by now. If he were omnipotent, he would have pulverized them all long ago.
Especially the Black Zetsu. After all, he intended to resurrect his mother, and that must be unacceptable to anyone with Ootsutsuki's blood. Especially for someone like Jigen, who in Black Zetsu's eyes was practically a pure-blooded Ootsutsuki.
If he could have foreseen its existence, he would have hunted it down and killed it long ago!
— Yes, Mr. Jigen is not omnipotent! Onoki nodded unconsciously.
He finally believed the words of Uchiha Obito and his group. With such an information gap, who would have guessed their true intentions?
It's as if a man who has always behaved incredibly kindly, done good and earned everyone's love, suddenly ... someone ran out and shouted that this kind-hearted man was not doing good deeds at all, and everyone who received help from him would be sacrificed to the evil god.
Who would believe in such words except ungrateful creatures, paranoids, and lunatics?
"Oh, the great sage is really a villain, and those gentlemen who beat us every day don't care about our lives, treat us like slaves, supplies, tools, and even food—they are the real good people, they really care about us."
"what? You say your relative was whipped to death by a gentleman during the departure? So it's for your good, if you die, you'll be reborn sooner!"
What kind of crazy nonsense!
Unfortunately, the intentions of Uchiha Obito and his group were indeed unkind.
The only one who was even slightly better was Nagato. He wanted to rule the world and bring peace to it. Compared to Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu, he was just a saint.
But neither Oonoki, nor the others, nor even Orochimaru, really knew about the true intentions of Uchiha Obito. Orochimaru was only aware of a small part of Nagato's plans.
After all, the disguise of Uchiha Obito and his accomplices was too perfect.
— Now you need to figure out how to lure out the current Raikage, explain the pros and cons to him, and convince him to join our plan! Black Zetsu stepped forward and said with sincere pleading in his voice, as if he cared with all his heart about the fate of mankind. — If the search for the Child from the prophecy eventually fails, it will be our last frontier, the last frontier for all mankind! I'm relying on you!
In fact, he was mentally grinning coldly.
* A herd of idiots. The plan was finally on the right track. Just a little more, very soon I will be able to resurrect my mother and fulfill my thousand-year-old dream.*
When his mother is resurrected, all current problems will cease to be problems.
Uchiha Yue, you say? Heh! A pitiful mortal, how can he compare to my mother?*
* I'm afraid, then one accidental blow from mother will be enough to finish off this Uchiha Yue like a stray dog *, — Black Zetsu chuckled to himself.
It was as if he had already seen this future—how wonderful it was, how wonderful! Triumphant laughter rang in his mind.
