Chapter 181 The Birth of Black Zetsu, Follow-up and Experiments
"Uh? Lord Madara... It's me, Tobi!!" In the underground space, Tobi had just entered and hadn't even reported when a black rod was inserted into his body, causing him to scream in alarm.
What happened? Why would Lord Madara attack him?
"Shut up." Madara Uchiha snorted coldly, slowly stepped forward, raised his hand and pressed it on Tobi's body, activating Yin-Yang Release to examine Tobi's entire body.
After confirming that the other party's chakra and body were normal and not under control, he checked Tobi's memories and his gaze softened immediately. "That brat Obito leveled up to three tomoe with such a small stimulation? It seems that Nohara Rin is very important to him!"
As he spoke, Madara Uchiha casually removed the black rod, freeing Tobi. Having learned from his previous experience, he no longer fully trusted even Tobi, the White Zetsu.
"Yes, yes, Madara-sama. So next time, as long as we find an opportunity to kill Nohara Rin, Obito will definitely be heartbroken and awaken his Mangekyou Sharingan." Tobi hurriedly chimed in, quite puzzled by Madara's change.
It seems that Lord Madara isn't as indulgent and trusting of him as before. What exactly has happened during this time?
"It's not difficult to get Obito to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, but what I want is not just a Mangekyou Uchiha, but a pawn who has fallen into darkness and can carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan in my place. This matter still needs to be considered carefully." Madara Uchiha refused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as he thought of the Kara organization lurking in the shadows.
"Tobi, temporarily suspend monitoring and surveillance of Obito. I have a new mission for you: go to Kirigakure to gather information on the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi."
"The Fourth Mizukage??" Tobi scratched his head in confusion, but then, realizing he didn't have to stay there doing nothing, he nodded and left.
Seeing Tobi leave, Madara Uchiha thought for a moment, then formed a hand seal and focused his energy to unleash his power!
In the blink of an eye, the unfinished White Zetsu on the branches of the Ten-Tailed Demon Statue behind him were rapidly matured, falling to the ground and forming more than a dozen White Zetsu.
Madara Uchiha pulled over the nearest White Zetsu clone and placed one hand on its shoulder to activate Yin-Yang Release.
With a muffled groan, the white ape's body was covered by black substance, turning it into a half-white, half-black shape!
"You are the embodiment of my will. I don't need to explain why I brought you out, Black Zetsu." With his crimson Sharingan fixed on the black half-body, Madara Uchiha's gaze was indifferent, and his voice was as cold as ice.
"Of course, I will lead them on a secret investigation of the Shell organization, and I will certainly not disappoint Lord Madara." Black Zetsu nodded and bowed, patting his chest to assure him, but his heart was filled with mixed feelings of joy and worry.
He was happy that this opportunity would finally allow him to openly integrate into Madara's plan, but he was naturally worried about the so-called Shell organization.
Madara is clearly the only one who knows he's still alive, so what's with this unheard-of Kara organization? And why are they targeting Uchiha Madara?
But no matter who it is, he will not allow this Shell organization to hinder Madara's plan, or his grand plan for a thousand years!
"Very good, take them with you." Madara Uchiha nodded in satisfaction, pointing to the remaining White Zetsu clones and giving the order.
This White Zetsu, imbued with his will, is someone he trusts even more than Tobi!
After that, he will find an opportunity to control the Hidden Mist, with one side in the open and the other in the shadows. He is determined not to fail to find any clues about the Shell Organization.
Just as Kirigakure was at war with Konoha, they could use Kirigakure's power to secretly drag Obito into their scheme.
On the other side, in a cave in the Land of Grass.
Before the crackling campfire, Obito and Kakashi, both recovered from their injuries, grilled wild game to get protein, while Rin Nohara, having eaten and drunk her fill, leaned against the side to sleep and recover her strength.
After continuous high-intensity battles and healing Obito and Kakashi, even Rin Nohara was exhausted!
【Rin, you look so cute when you're sleeping (￣??)】Obito couldn't help but smile as he secretly glanced at Nohara Rin.
Although the mission was fraught with danger, everything went smoothly and everyone returned safely. Furthermore, he awakened his three-tomoe Sharingan, further closing the gap between him and the genius Kakashi.
Hmph, he'll apply for the Jonin Exams when he gets back. If he gets promoted to Jonin, Rin will definitely look at him differently, and he might even gain the Third Hokage's favor and become the first Uchiha Hokage…
"Hehehe..." Just thinking about reaching the pinnacle of life and marrying his white moonlight, Obito couldn't help but grin and chuckle.
"Huh??" Almost the instant the laughter appeared, Kakashi's strange gaze fell upon Obito, causing him to look embarrassed and scramble to his feet.
"Um, speaking of which, Minato-sensei is too slow. He said he would come to our aid, but we've already completed the mission and he still hasn't shown up."
"What? Obito, you guys have already completed the mission??" Kakashi rolled his eyes but before he could speak, a golden light flashed beside him and a familiar voice rang out in surprise.
[Oh no! I got caught talking bad about the teacher! What am I going to do? What am I going to do...] Obito almost cried when he saw the person who came in. How could he have gotten caught red-handed for just casually making a comment?
This is so embarrassing!!
"Minato-sensei..."
Compared to Obito's panic, Kakashi's eyes lit up and he exclaimed excitedly. Rin Nohara, who was next to him, was also awakened and felt relieved.
If Minato Namikaze appears, then this change in the fate of Kannabihashi will be a complete success!
"Minato-sensei, it was Rin who turned the tide in this mission..." Obito gritted his teeth and gesticulated wildly as he explained the situation, changing the subject to highlight Rin's achievements.
Of course, it was inevitable that they would also show off their three-tomoe Sharingan...
"It seems the Fourth Hokage has accomplished the feat of instantly annihilating dozens of Iwa ninja, and the name 'Yellow Flash' resounds throughout the ninja world. Hmm, Madara hasn't arranged for any new White Zetsu to monitor Obito. Well then, I should head back!" A kilometer away, Ishikawa watched the harmonious Minato team and chuckled to himself.
Perfect timing! Before Rin Nohara goes home, let's capture an Iwa ninja and try fusing them with Hashirama's artificial cells. After all, they're the second-generation cells that are closest to Hashirama's cells, so we should be on the safe side.
Thinking of this, Ishikawa immediately took a detour to the front line to capture people, which would be a good way to stay away from Minato Namikaze and avoid being detected by him.
With the help of his red eyes' insight, Ishikawa easily broke through numerous obstacles and captured an Iwagakure Chunin before heading back to Konoha.
Although Konoha was highly vigilant during the war, the shortage of manpower still allowed Ishikawa to find an opportunity to sneak into Konoha the following night with the knocked-out Iwa ninja.
They successfully returned to Nohara Rin's house before the time-space invasion, and then waited for another half hour.
"The experiment begins." Looking at the overlapping and interwoven hyperspace room, Ishikawa swiftly and brutally slashed open the abdomen of the Iwa ninja and placed a mass of Hashirama's artificial cells inside.
Almost simultaneously, he immediately placed his right hand on the doorknob, watching intently...
The next instant, a current emanated from the doorknob, firmly gripping the rock ninja and crackling for a full ten seconds before stopping.
As for the Iwa ninja, not only did his abdominal wound completely heal, but his body's chakra also increased exponentially. Under the observation of the red-eyed, the quality of his chakra also underwent other changes!
However, Ishikawa was not happy about this; instead, he frowned in confusion.
Because the skin of the Iwa ninja had turned completely white! Although it wasn't as pale and eerie as the White Zetsu, it was clearly not the skin color of a normal person.
So, the rejection reaction was resolved, but not completely eliminated?
