Chapter 422 Sage Perception, Madara Uchiha's Invitation
"It's actually Sage Mode, similar to the First Hokage's? No wonder he could detect our disguise. This makes things a bit tricky!" After confirming that Sasuke's killing intent was genuine, Jueqin suddenly spoke, her face full of resentment.
The next instant, to Fugaku Shisui's astonished expression, Mikoto and Itachi quickly reverted to their true forms, transforming into two strangely shaped White Zetsu clones.
Their original plan was to stage an accidental drowning during Sasuke and Fugaku's fight, causing the two to completely turn against each other. However, Sasuke saw through their plan before it even began...
Sage Mode! Where did this guy learn this power from?!
"Difficult? Then stop hiding and plotting. Just say what you have to say. I hate guys who hide in the shadows." A glint of light flashed in Sasuke's eyes as he stared at White Zetsu and got straight to the point.
Here it comes! The mastermind behind this situation can only be that guy, Uchiha Madara!!
"It seems you're different from ordinary Uchiha, Sasuke. But I'll have to ask my superiors about that." Seemingly not expecting Sasuke to be so direct, White Zetsu feigned a delaying tactic.
This was an unplanned turn of events, and he couldn't make the decision on his own.
"Up there? Who are you? Where are Mikoto and Itachi now??" Upon hearing this, Fugaku finally reacted and shouted angrily.
Damn it, he didn't even know when his wife and son were switched! What a bastard!
But how could they even deceive his Sharingan? Just who are these guys?
"Don't worry, we didn't harm them in order to cooperate with Sasuke." White Zetsu didn't hide anything and spoke frankly, "Naga Shrine, if you go there now, they should still be there."
“Shisui…” Almost the instant White Zetsu finished speaking, Fugaku turned and called out to Shisui.
Shisui instantly understood, and despite being very curious about what would happen next, he immediately turned around and went to the Nanga Shrine to rescue the hostages.
"So, it was you who controlled the Tailed Beasts to go berserk before?" After watching Shisui quickly disappear into the distance, Fugaku turned his gaze and asked tentatively.
Because of this, the Uchiha clan unwittingly became scapegoats for the other side, incurring hostility from the village and making their survival situation increasingly difficult.
"This is not something you should know, Fugaku Uchiha." White Zetsu glanced at him, then his gaze sharpened as if he had received some information, and he looked at Sasuke.
"If you want to know everything, come to the northern border of the Land of Fire by yourself."
With that one sentence, White Zetsu disappeared into the ever-flowing Naka River without waiting for Sasuke's reply!
"The border line??"
Sasuke murmured something, his eyes flashing, and the snake-like transformation on his body instantly faded, dispelling Sage Mode.
The mission is finally about to begin...?
"Sasuke, I'll go with you."
Just as Sasuke was about to leave, Fugaku suddenly stepped forward and blocked his way with a serious expression.
The fact that the other party was so brazen even though they knew Sasuke had the Mangekyou Sharingan means they must have been prepared!
Although he knew Sasuke was very strong, especially after seeing his Sage Mode, this only made Fugaku more certain of Sasuke's talent and he didn't want Sasuke to take risks alone.
If this child develops steadily, he will definitely be the future of the Uchiha clan!
"Didn't you hear them ask me for one? If they are the masterminds behind the Tailed Beast rampage, this is the best opportunity to clear the Uchiha's name." Sasuke remained expressionless and calm, then glanced at Fugaku, who seemed about to speak but hesitated, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Father, wait for me to return. You need to give me an explanation for what happened today..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke's body crackled with electricity, transforming into lightning as he sped away at an astonishing speed, as fast as a whirlwind.
"An explanation? I wonder if my eyes are enough!!"
As Fugaku watched Sasuke's disappearing figure, his gaze hardened, and the three tomoe in his eyes rapidly reassembled and intertwined, transforming into the eerie Mangekyou Sharingan.
At the same time, in the underground space.
"Sage Mode? Mangekyou Sharingan? Uchiha Sasuke, I'm getting more and more excited to meet you..." Uchiha Madara muttered to himself, his eyes burning with desire, leaning against the Ten-Tails statue.
This guy is definitely an Uchiha genius who surpasses him and Hashirama, and is the most suitable person to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan on his behalf.
"Lord Madara, the fact that our plan to sow discord was exposed didn't cause Sasuke and the Uchiha to turn against each other. Is it really okay for us to make direct contact like this?" Black Zetsu asked with concern, looking at the excited Madara Uchiha.
If the other party doesn't harbor hostility or hatred towards the Uchiha or have any other ambitions, how can they be exploited?
"Black Zetsu, didn't you realize that Sasuke isn't just an ordinary genius? That guy has his own confidence and pride. I believe that knowing everything, he will agree to my plan." Madara Uchiha snorted calmly, looking completely confident.
Black Zetsu was about to say something more when Madara Uchiha interrupted him sharply, "Even if something unexpected happens and he disagrees, isn't there still you? My avatar of will."
"I've had enough of this frail, aging body! The Eye of the Moon Project can't be delayed any longer, and I can't find anyone better than Sasuke."
"Black Zetsu, Tobi, go! Go to the border of the Land of Fire to welcome my guests..."
"Yes, Lord Madara." Seeing that Madara Uchiha had made up his mind, Black Zetsu agreed without saying anything more.
Madara was right about one thing: even if Sasuke disagreed, he had a way to control Sasuke and make him carry out the Eye of the Moon plan.
"Seriously, I was really looking forward to seeing a dramatic battle between a vicious stepmother and an illegitimate child, but it ended so abruptly!" Bai Jue A Fei exclaimed helplessly, gesturing wildly as he disappeared into the wall beside him.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, nobody knew that Sasuke actually mastered Sage Mode. That's a power that even Madara-sama didn't possess..." Black Zetsu sighed casually, and the white Zetsu half-body quickly followed.
Using the Mayfly Technique for high-speed movement, Black and White Zetsu and Tobi quickly arrived at the border of the Land of Fire, waiting early at a place Sasuke was bound to pass through.
"It's you, now you can tell me who that person is, right?"
As evening fell, Sasuke appeared on the border of the Land of Fire as a bolt of lightning, his crimson Mangekyou Sharingan fixed on Tobi as he coldly spoke.
This strange white-circled figure—my senior brother used to control his body in battle before.
"You'll find out soon enough, Sasuke." Tobi didn't waste any words, directly unfolding his body to reveal his empty shell, indicating to Sasuke whether he should move or take the initiative.
While Sasuke looked disgusted, Black and White Zetsu were shocked as if the sky had fallen!
To be precise, Black Zetsu was completely dumbfounded!
He actually sensed Indra's chakra on Sasuke after observing him up close?
But how could this be?!
Madara Uchiha, the reincarnation of Indra, is still alive, so how could this happen?
