The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 985 Edo Tensei Madara

woohoo hoo...

A whirlwind swept through the secret chamber as a large amount of rune paper wrapped around the already activated corpse.

A powerful soul is summoned from the Pure Land into this body at this moment.

Although the body is still being built, a powerful chakra has already begun to rise.

As the talismans fluttered, Ban, clad in red armor and exuding an imposing aura, slowly opened his eyes.

As Ban opened his eyes.

A powerful pressure suddenly swept through the entire secret room, causing Hei Jue to tense up involuntarily.

"Finally finished, huh? That brat Nagato is growing up so smoothly." Madara's somewhat smug voice rang out.

"Lord Ban, things may not be as smooth as you imagine."

Black Zetsu, standing nearby, indifferently poured cold water on Madara's enthusiasm.

"Hmm...?" Madara slowly raised his hand; he had already sensed something was wrong.

"Impure World Reincarnation? Isn't that the Samsara technique?"

Madara slowly withdrew his hand, crossed his arms over his chest, and asked calmly:

"What's going on? Where are Black Zetsu and Nagato?"

Black Zetsu said expressionlessly, "Nagato has abandoned the Eye of the Moon Plan, and he is no longer one of us."

Madara frowned, his tone displeased: "What is Obito doing? How can he not even handle this simple task?"

Black Zetsu chuckled twice, his expression ambiguous: "Obito already knows the truth of what happened back then, and now the person he hates the most is you."

Madara didn't notice that Black Zetsu had changed his respectful address for him to "you".

Instead, his expression changed drastically: "How did Obito find out?! Where's my Rinnegan?"

Black Zetsu lowered his head, making it impossible for Madara to see his expression:

"After Fugaku, the Uchiha clan had a new clan leader named Uchiha Chiyo."

"He first exposed Obito's disguise of your identity, and then won over Nagato."

"Then the Eye of the Moon plan was exposed...and the Rinnegan was destroyed."

"What!?" Madara was shocked, and then an uncontrollable rage surged up within him.

boom!

With a massive burst of chakra, Black Zetsu's body was thrown back several steps with a loud thud.

"You...you said...the Rinnegan was destroyed!?" Madara's expression was twisted and ferocious!

That was an essential tool for him to achieve his dream!

He had spent so many years preparing and so much effort to awaken the Rinnegan.

It's been destroyed!

Blackie calmly replied:

"Lord Madara, don't worry, I have found a replacement eye."

Ban's anger suddenly froze, replaced by more surprise and uncertainty.

"How could the Rinnegan possibly be replaced?"

Black Zetsu spoke calmly and slowly, revealing his Mangekyou Sharingan.

"Lord Madara, you have been asleep for too long, and too many things have changed."

"But there are indeed eyes that can replace the Rinnegan."

"The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, also had a brother."

Madara was somewhat surprised to see that Black Zetsu also had a Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes, upon hearing Black Zetsu's words.

His anger has gradually subsided.

After all, the destruction of the Rinnegan was already a fact, and no matter how angry he was, it would be of no use.

Although Ban is a master of witty banter, he is actually a very pragmatic person.

For example, in the original timeline, after he realized he couldn't control Obito, he just sat and watched Obito and Naruto fight while he slacked off on the sidelines.

He then seized the opportunity to have Obito use the Rinne Rebirth technique to revive himself.

"Go on."

Black Zetsu continued, "The eyes inherited from Indra, a descendant of the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, are the Rinnegan."

"And the eyes that his brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, inherited are called the Tenseigan."

Then he pointed to the sky:

"There is still a descendant of the Hamura clan on the moon named Otsutsuki Toneri, who has awakened the Tenseigan."

Black Zetsu kept his eyes on Madara while he was saying these things. If Madara sensed anything was wrong, he would immediately restrain him.

After all, in Madara's understanding, Black Zetsu was his degraded form, but now Black Zetsu knows more than Madara himself.

This in itself is a huge loophole.

but……

Ban was completely unaware that something was wrong.

"It seems you've still been somewhat useful all these years. After all, you're my degraded form, so at least you've grown."

Ban nodded slowly, seemingly somewhat relieved.

Black Zetsu: "..."

I'm speechless, utterly speechless. It turns out I worried about all those things for nothing.

Even Madara himself would make excuses for him.

"What's the situation outside? Do they still have the Gedo Mazo? Have they started collecting the Tailed Beasts?"

Seeing that Madara was automatically making excuses for him, Black Zetsu was not prepared to turn against Madara for the time being.

After all, Madara is very strong, so we should make good use of him.

“Uchiha Chiyo destroyed Sunagakure several months ago and now rules the entire Land of Wind.”

"Recently, taking advantage of his wedding, he even called all the surrounding ninja villages to come and hold a meeting."

"Whether it's Iwagakure, Kirigakure, or Kumogakure, none of them are a match for Uchiha Kinai. This time, he probably wants to unify the ninja world."

Madara's face showed shock: "Uchiha Senyou has such strength?"

Black Zetsu confirmed, "He would have completed the Body Susanoo five years ago, which should be the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

Ban closed his eyes, seemingly deep in thought.

"So, does that mean half the ninja world now belongs to the Uchiha clan?"

Black Zetsu had no idea what Madara was thinking, but he still answered, "That's right."

[If the Uchiha clan rules the ninja world, is there still a need to implement the Eye of the Moon Plan?]

The thought flashed through Madara's mind, after all, the Uchiha had only conquered the Land of Wind so far.

There are also the Land of Earth, the Land of Water, and the Land of Lightning to come, and many more wars to come.

The Eye of the Moon plan is still a more prudent option.

Besides, I've been planning this for so many years, how could I give up so easily?

However, Madara still admired Uchiha Chiyo.

A slight smile appeared on his lips: "Not bad, the Uchiha clan has actually produced such a genius."

Black Zetsu's cheek twitched, wondering what Madara was up to, so he reminded him from the side.

"Your Rinnegan was destroyed by his own hands."

Ban's face darkened, and the admiration he had just felt vanished without a trace. He changed the subject, saying:

"What about the tailed beasts?"

"The Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed and Nine-Tailed are in Konoha, the Jinchūriki of the Two-Tailed and Eight-Tailed are in Kumogakure, and the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tailed and Six-Tailed are in Kirigakure."

"The Jinchūriki of the Four-Tails and Five-Tails are in Iwagakure."

"Obito wanted to take revenge on you, so he killed the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and his whereabouts have been unknown recently."

Madara frowned and said, "We haven't obtained a single Tailed Beast? Do we still have the Gedo Mazo?"

"Six years ago, after Madara's Rinnegan was destroyed, the Gedo Mazo was summoned back by Hamura's descendants on the moon."

"Without the Rinnegan, I can only infiltrate the moon."

"Fortunately, everyone on the moon is dead, and Otsutsuki Toneri, the descendant of Hamura who awakened the Tenseigan, is just a child who hasn't grown up yet."

“I have brainwashed him and made him agree with our ideal of saving the ninja world.”

"However, he was unaware of Project Eye of the Moon."

"I didn't even know I was planning to have him revive you with the Tenseigan and replace your eyes."
