Chapter 444 Casting a Long Line to Catch the Otsutsuki: Nagato's Sharingan
"Senior brother? What brings you here?"
Upon seeing the spirit of Ishikawa suddenly appear in his mind, Sasuke paused and exclaimed in surprise.
God knows how much pressure he was under during that time. Facing Madara Uchiha alone with the dangerous mission of saving the world, that pressure was no joke!
"If I hadn't come, your actions would have ruined our entire plan." The spirit of Ishikawa sighed with dissatisfaction, which made Sasuke's expression change instantly.
"Impossible! I've already made Madara Uchiha entrust his hopes to me and commit suicide, as planned. I even killed his will manifestation just now. Now, all we need to do is retrieve those Rinnegan eyes, and Madara's ambition will be completely annihilated..."
"Senior brother, I don't think I did anything wrong!" Sasuke immediately retorted, arguing his point. This was a perfectly planned strategy that he had carefully considered.
"Is that so? Do you really think Madara Uchiha trusts you that much? Or do you think Madara's will is so easily destroyed by you?"
“But that incarnation of Black Zetsu has already been dealt with by my Amaterasu…” Sasuke said subconsciously, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ishikawa’s cold voice.
"During the last Tailed Beast rampage, your Amaterasu didn't incinerate Madara's Six Paths power? Now you're telling me you're really confident you can burn that embodiment of will to death??"
Instantly, Sasuke's pupils contracted, his mouth opened, and he froze on the spot!
That's absolutely right. At that time, the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Rin Nohara, was bound by a spell set by Madara Uchiha using the power of the Six Paths.
Amaterasu, which gathers the power of Yin and Yang Release, cannot burn it. He, who inherited Madara Uchiha's Six Paths Technique, was very certain of this.
"So, Black Zetsu was just acting and lying to me!!"
Sasuke understood immediately, as if struck by a sudden enlightenment.
He was careless! In his excitement, he forgot that Black Zetsu was also an embodiment of will formed by Yin-Yang Release.
“So Sasuke, you’re still too naive!” Ishikawa’s spirit nodded in confirmation. “I said before that Madara Uchiha might set up sealing techniques or similar methods to control you, and as the embodiment of Madara’s will, he must know the method as well.”
"Perhaps everything you're doing now is within his and Ban's expectations..."
"Whether it's taking the Rinnegan or something else, all he wants to do is control you to revive Uchiha Madara when the time is right."
"To him, whether it's Nagato with the Rinnegan or you, Sasuke Uchiha, as long as Madara's eyes are transplanted, they are just pawns in his plan to revive Madara."
"I see." Sasuke suddenly realized and immediately looked at Ishikawa's spirit.
"Then, senior brother, since you knew in advance, you must have a way to remove the hidden spell in my body, otherwise you wouldn't have let me carry out the mission with peace of mind."
"Of course, I'll help you get rid of Ban's backup plan once you return to the village." Ishikawa smiled confidently, then his expression turned solemn.
"So Sasuke, we can't take all the Rinnegan right now and let Black Zetsu target you. Instead, we need to use Nagato to lure Black Zetsu out so we can seal him or kill him."
"Your right Rinnegan will be temporarily stored with Nagato. Go back to the village and deal with the curse on your body first!"
As Ishikawa's spirit spoke, a glint of light flashed in its eyes, but it did not reveal the real reason.
Black Zetsu was secondary; Ishikawa, who knew the other party's true strength, naturally understood that Black Zetsu alone couldn't cause any trouble...
Even if they took both Rinnegan, Black Zetsu could only lie low and wait for the next Madara Uchiha.
What Ishikawa really wanted to see was how far Nagato with the Rinnegan would go if Yahiko hadn't died. He also wanted to use that Rinnegan to try and lure out the Otsutsuki clan hiding in the ninja world.
Anyway, Sasuke has already taken one of the Rinnegan, so even if something happens to the remaining right eye, it won't cause much trouble for him or Konoha!
So why not give it a try...?
"Understood, senior brother." Sasuke immediately realized and agreed, his consciousness returning to his body in an instant as he withdrew his right hand.
"Huh? Aren't you going to take that Rinnegan? Lord Sasuke." Seeing Sasuke suddenly stop after a moment of stunned silence, Tobi asked in surprise, a little confused about the situation.
"No, I suddenly remembered that Black Zetsu said I can only handle one Rinnegan right now, so I'll just leave that eye in his eye for now!" Sasuke casually brushed it off, then his eyes flashed with a serious light as he spoke.
"Afei, could you ask the White Zetsu clone in the base if Madara's corpse and Yin-Yang Release black rods are still at Madara's base?"
"Huh? Why would you suddenly ask that, Sasuke-sama?" Tobi muttered in surprise, but his actions were quick as he sent a message remotely.
The next second, "He's...he's come back to life! Lord Madara's corpse and the Yin-Yang Release black rods have vanished!!"
[As expected, Black Zetsu is not dead.] Hearing Tobi's startled exclamation, Sasuke's eyes flashed with a cold light as he confirmed it with certainty.
"Well then, I'll wait for you to come back in the village. Honestly, if the black chakra rod I got from the binding talisman hadn't suddenly disappeared last time, I wouldn't have known that old man Madara was dead! Luckily, it's not a big problem and everything went smoothly..."
Ishikawa's spirit shook its head and complained, then dispelled the spiritification technique and disappeared in a flash of light.
"Afei, take me back to Konoha." Sasuke glanced at Nagato's right eye with slight reluctance, then gave a cold snort and issued the order.
Upon hearing this, Afei naturally dared not delay and immediately enveloped Sasuke's body, activating the Mayfly Technique and heading towards Konoha.
Half a minute later.
"He didn't take the other Rinnegan? Is it really as he said, just temporarily stored here with Nagato?" After confirming that Sasuke had fled a hundred miles away, Black Zetsu emerged from the ground with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
In his hand, he held a scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan.
"Poor thing! Well then, you can use the spare left eye from Madara's corpse." Turning his gaze, Black Zetsu looked at the unconscious Nagato, who was missing his left eye, and sighed with a wry smile.
He quickly stepped forward and roughly shoved the three-tomoe Sharingan into Nagato's left eye socket. Black Zetsu then waved his hand, and another White Zetsu clone appeared beside him.
The moment the White Zetsu clone appeared, it was possessed by the Black Zetsu and transformed back into the appearance of the Black and White Zetsu!
Taking advantage of the situation, Black Zetsu tore open half of White Zetsu's body and grabbed some White Zetsu cells to fill the gap in Nagato's empty eye socket.
After doing all this, Black Zetsu dropped a scroll of Uchiha genjutsu and went underground to observe and protect from the shadows.
Having just survived a brush with death and had his eyes stolen, he dared not reveal himself to them rashly. He needed to play it safe; guiding them from the shadows was his forte.
Meanwhile, in Konoha.
"Ishikawa, where did you go just now? Why are you so excited?" Nohara Rin looked at Ishikawa, who suddenly came to his senses and looked excited, with great curiosity.
This guy seems to be suddenly very excited!
"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough." Ishikawa suppressed his restless heart and feigned composure, his expression turning serious and solemn under Nohara Rin's coquettish gaze.
"Rin, do you want to possess the power of the Rinnegan?"
