Chapter 286 Prelude
Looking at Obito who was in a frenzy, Black Zetsu sneered in his heart.
Like Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara fantasized that after resurrecting the Ten Tails, he could lead all mankind into the Infinite Tsukuyomi dreamland without war and eternal peace.
In the eternal dreamland, everyone can achieve everything they want and live happily forever.
But what they don’t know is that the White Zetsu, who was manipulated by them as a slave, is a human being transformed by the Infinite Tsukuyomi. After the soul and chakra were absorbed by the sacred tree, these ancient humans were left with only their bodies.
From the beginning, the Infinite Tsukuyomi was just a lie he told to deceive Indra.
Unfortunately, all the previous reincarnations of Indra were very bad, far from meeting the requirements of collecting the tailed beasts, resulting in the failure of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan, and the mother was trapped on the moon for nearly a thousand years.
However, that was all in the past.
This time, he went through decades of planning, not only unearthing talents like Bai Ye, but even Ashura’s growth was under his control, and the success rate of the plan would be greatly improved.
The only problem is that Bai Ye’s growth rate is a bit too fast.
In less than ten years, Byakuya has grown from a senior ninja of the Akatsuki organization to a mastermind who manipulates several ninja villages. He has several powerful Kage-level warriors under his command, and Nagato, the owner of the Samsara Eye, also obeys his orders.
Black Zetsu is a little worried that Byakuya will get out of control, and after resurrecting the Ten Tails, he refuses to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
After all, compared with Obito and Uchiha Madara, who are losers, Byakuya has not experienced many setbacks at all, and does not need Infinite Tsukuyomi to escape reality.
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu looked at Obito and began to consider how to balance Byakuya.
Compared with Hamura and Hagoromo, the two unfilial sons, he, as the last child of his mother, has only inherited part of his mother's power. It is impossible for him to fight against the Kage-level warriors on his own.
Therefore, he can only rely on Obito to balance Byakuya. Only by keeping Byakuya and Obito in a competitive relationship can he get the best of both worlds and become the final reaper.
After a moment of silence, Black Zetsu said to Obito: "I know your and Madara-sama's ideals, but besides you, there are others who have also set their sights on Uchiha."
Obito frowned, somewhat dissatisfied: "Who else has set their sights on Uchiha?"
"Bai Ye..." Black Zetsu said expressionlessly, "According to Afu's report, Bai Ye recently left the Hidden Rain Village and is active near the Konoha Village."
"I suspect Bai Ye also wants to attack the Uchiha. Do you remember the night of the Nine-tailed Fox...?"
After hearing this, Obito's face became much uglier.
Of course, he remembered the night of the Nine-tailed Fox. At that time, he wanted to release the Nine-tailed Fox while Kushina was giving birth, complete the recovery of the Nine-tailed Fox, and weaken the Konoha Village at the same time.
As a result, the summoning contract he left on the Nine-tailed Fox disappeared, and the battle with the Fourth Hokage was severely punished by his former teacher.
If his body had not been transformed by White Zetsu, he would have died long ago.
As a result, after he fled, he found out that Bai Ye had actually been staying nearby, but he did not take action. He watched him being defeated by the Fourth Hokage and laughed at him afterwards.
He laughed at him for being too weak and shouldn't have taken action against the Nine-Tails at this time. The action of collecting the tailed beasts could not be fast.
This time he spent a few more years to influence Uchiha Itachi, wanting to use the conflict between the village and Uchiha to train a subordinate with the Mangekyō Sharingan.
As a result, Bai Ye set his sights on his prey again at this time...
Black Zetsu saw that Obito's face was not right, and struck while the iron was hot: "Obito, why don't you give up the cooperation with Uchiha Itachi... Bai Ye has set his sights on Uchiha."
Obito glanced at Black Zetsu, and then said: "You mean I am not as good as Bai Ye, so Bai Ye has set his sights on my prey, and I have to give it up obediently?"
Black Zetsu shook his head and said: "I just think it is more efficient this way. Bai Ye's goal is also to collect the tailed beasts. We don't need to conflict with him."
"When the tailed beasts are collected, we can deal with him at will."
Obito seemed to remember something funny, and after a sneer, he said:
"Bai Ye doesn't understand Uchiha, and his methods are ineffective against Uchiha. I will prove that I am better than him."
At this point, Obito's eyes flashed with brilliance.
He knew that he could not compare with Bai Ye in some aspects. Bai Ye was a genius who was more powerful than Kakashi. When he was with old man Madara, he could feel that old man Madara admired Bai Ye very much.
If it was him and Byakuya who fell into the hole, Byakuya might have inherited the mantle of Madara and become the executor of the Moon Eye Project.
But what he couldn't stand the most was such a self-righteous genius.
Even if the reality was false and boring, he didn't want to always lose to Byakuya. He wanted to prove that he was stronger than these so-called geniuses, and that Uchiha was better than the Uzumaki clan.
After successfully inspiring Obito's fighting spirit, Black Zetsu sneaked into the shadows.
This war between Uchiha and Konoha was a stage. Byakuya and Obito were two actors on the stage, and he was the audience watching the performance silently in the audience. He just needed to wait quietly.
…
After getting the promise from the masked man, Uchiha Itachi returned home.
His mother Uchiha Mikoto had already prepared dinner. The family sat at the dining table to eat, and the atmosphere was very depressing and tense.
After Shisui disappeared, the atmosphere at home has been so tense.
Itachi Uchiha knew that Fugaku wanted to launch a coup, and Fugaku suspected that it was Itachi Uchiha who killed Shisui, and there was a serious disagreement between the father and son.
Sasuke, who was waiting for praise with a perfect score, was a little overwhelmed when he saw this scene.
After looking at Sasuke and then at Itachi Uchiha, Fugaku Uchiha said lightly: "Come to my study after dinner, I have something to tell you."
Itachi Uchiha nodded, quickly finished eating, and came to the study.
After closing the door of the study, Fugaku Uchiha showed his Sharingan and said to Itachi Uchiha: "Tomorrow night, I will lead my people to launch a coup."
Itachi Uchiha was stunned when he heard this.
Uchiha Fugaku saw Itachi's confusion and said to himself:
"Our plan is to kidnap the Jinchūriki to release the Nine-Tails, and take advantage of the defense forces being distracted to attack the Hokage Building to control the Third Hokage."
"For this day, the clan members have been patient for more than ten years."
"I will wait for you to come to the clan meeting tomorrow. If you are still an Uchiha, join me in launching a coup tomorrow."
Uchiha Fugaku revealed his plan in full without considering Itachi's feelings.
If it keeps procrastinating like this, the clan members will sooner or later go crazy because of the pressure. The village owes Uchiha too much, and these things must be compensated accordingly.
After speaking, Uchiha Fugaku walked out of the study and stayed with Uchiha Itachi to think silently.
