Of course, something might happen, but it doesn't matter.
Compared to what I received, I can really accept it.
"Neither of these villages is any good, especially Kumogakure." Nagato wasn't too fond of them. Coming from a small country, he couldn't possibly have a good impression of these large countries, let alone a village like Kumogakure with its bandit-like practices. He simply felt a deep aversion to it.
While Konoha is certainly hateful, Kumogakure's conduct is no better than Konoha's, and may even be worse. After all, Konoha before Uchiha Hakumoku came to power emphasized so-called peace.
Whether they genuinely want peace or not, that's what they say they do, and they're very different from the Hidden Cloud Village; they would never do such banditry.
The Hidden Cloud Village is truly entrenched in banditry; they love to steal anything they see, and that's all they do...
The key point is that it's usually the Raikage who leads the raids, and they're always targeting small countries. Any secret techniques they have are stolen. Does this kind of behavior make Nagato like it?
He came from a small country, and he hated it to the core.
"It doesn't matter." Hei Jue didn't care. As long as they could be of use, that was good. If they had no value, that would be a problem. Now, all these villages could be used.
Obito nodded and said, "You're right, Kumogakure is of great use to us."
He definitely supports Black Zetsu's words; it's impossible for him to say he doesn't.
As for whether it's really that useful?
I don't know, and I certainly don't.
Nagato: "..."
You guys really have a lot of ideas, but if you don't cooperate with Iwagakure and Kumogakure and face Konoha alone, the pressure will indeed be immense.
Despite the fact that his legs have recovered and he still possesses the Deva Path Pain, the problem is that he cannot use this as a power stacking mechanism.
Controlling puppets in this way consumes a lot of chakra, and he can't possibly multitask while facing a powerful enemy. It might not be a problem for ordinary ninjas, such as Jonin who don't have Kage-level strength, but it's not so simple when facing a Kage-level opponent, especially from Konoha...
Uchiha Hakumu's methods might not be effective.
"Who will dispel it?"
Nagato only wanted to know this one question.
Is it you, Black Zetsu, or Uchiha Madara?
Furthermore, how can they cooperate with us?
Black Zetsu pondered for a moment before offering his suggestion: "Two things. We'll use Kirigakure to make contact and cooperate. Anyway, the Fourth Mizukage is under control, so we don't need to worry about being exposed. As for you..."
He paused, considered for a long time, before asking, "Can we still use the name 'Hanzo'?"
I'm fine on my end, because the Hidden Mist Village sign is still usable.
It's a different story for you, Amegakure...
Can Hanzo's name still be used?
If not, that would be troublesome.
"Hanzo is dead."
Nagato spoke slowly.
"His body should still be there, right? There shouldn't be any damage... Oh well, even if it's damaged, it can be repaired," Black Zetsu said slowly.
"What do you want to do?"
Nagato didn't understand.
He wasn't the only one confused; Xiao Nan, standing nearby, was extremely vigilant, quickly trying to figure out what the other party's intentions were.
As for Obito?
Needless to say, he couldn't understand what Black Zetsu was up to. Was he going to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique? That could easily expose my secret. Let's leave Nagato aside for now; perhaps he won't find out.
However, Xiao Nan is a very perceptive woman. If she discovers any clues, the problem could become very serious. Are you out of your mind?
And also, now you don't discuss anything with me beforehand anymore?
This so-called will of Uchiha Madara is really troublesome.
But the problem is that Obito has no way to solve it.
Disobeying orders can easily lead to trouble.
I am a reincarnated body, and more importantly, I have not yet been promoted. Although the research on Hiruko's side has made progress, it has not yet reached my ideal state, so this person cannot have any problems.
Whether it's Black Zetsu or anyone else, things can't get out of control; I can't agree to that.
"Pain, make Hanzo into a puppet as well, but don't make him have the Rinnegan. Just make him a controlled corpse."
Black Zetsu suggested that Nagato control Hanzo's corpse to move around, mainly to use Hanzo's name so that Amegakure could not be exposed.
In that case, Hanzo is the best cover, and given Hanzo's influence, Onoki might not refuse.
Otherwise, who would want to see a greenhorn like you?
The envoys you send will be ignored.
But Hanzo sent out...
That would be different!
Chapter 331 Think Twice Before You Act, Don't Be Reckless
Nagato: "..."
Damn it, he was implying that I'm no good.
Although Black Zetsu's words were true, they were unacceptable to Nagato. He simply didn't like this kind of thing; those damned bastards were truly disgusting.
Because of Black Zetsu's suggestion, Nagato had to seriously consider whether or not he should do this.
To be honest, this can be done.
"Control isn't the problem, as long as we don't expose ourselves, it's fine. But won't an old geezer like Onoki get suspicious? After all, it's me controlling Hanzo, not him..."
Although Nagato was arrogant, he also knew that he was not Hanzo and had to act in the other party's name and identity. If he needed to connect with Onoki, how would he communicate?
What is my own level?
He knew perfectly well that even if he dared to claim to be a god, it was only thanks to the power of the Rinnegan; when it came to intelligence and brains…
Well, that makes things difficult.
In addition, Onoki had dealt with Hanzo for decades. They had been enemies for so long, how could he not be familiar with him?
Haven't you heard the saying? The person who knows you best is often your enemy. Judging from the antagonism between Onoki and Hanzo, it's impossible that they weren't familiar with each other.
After all, the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain have fought before; they are enemies!
Hei Jue: "..."
Now you realize it's difficult?
Before, they were always calling each other gods.
You're such a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferer. If it weren't for Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, you'd be nothing but trash. So what if you're from the Uzumaki clan? Too many Uzumaki clan members are gone now.
You're no exception.
Of course he didn't like Nagato, but he was just a pawn chosen by Madara Uchiha, a lucky one at that. How dare he be so arrogant?
You little brat, you overestimate yourself!
Now you know fear, and you know you should ask for advice, right?
Although Black is not happy about Nagato's smugness and his constant talk of gods and mysteries, it is impossible for him not to give Nagato advice. Pieces cannot be ignored, especially since these are very important pieces.
Revive Madara Uchiha!
"If we meet, contact us and we'll figure out a solution together." However, Black Zetsu didn't have a solution for the time being, because he couldn't teach Nagato how to deal with it.
Since they haven't actually met, how can they know what Onoki's next move will be? As for getting to know Hanzo quickly and figuring out his temperament...
Forget it, it's simply impossible, especially given Nagato's level, he's more likely to run into problems. So he can't do that. He can only say that if a meeting is really necessary, then they'll deal with it together.
"that's it?"
Nagato was clearly dissatisfied.
Do you think this is what you call a proper response?
"There's no other way, this is the only way." Black Zetsu didn't want to say too much, no matter how he explained, it wouldn't make sense, unless he put it bluntly, that is, Nagato's level is not good enough.
It's generally best not to say such things, especially when there are many people around. Even if you say there are only four people... oh, he doesn't count as a person, you still can't say it, as it's easy to offend people and cause some people to have certain associations.
After all, Black Zetsu knew very well that Obito was a fool, and that someone with Kenji's intelligence would easily make connections to him, and that fool might just start having wild thoughts.
He didn't care what Obito was like; he was just a pawn anyway. But he couldn't let this pawn become too disloyal.
"It's still not stable enough, but since you've said so, I can't refuse you." Although Nagato thought it wasn't enough, he still had to give him some face since he was so firm.
After all, both sides are currently cooperating, and it wouldn't be reasonable for them to just turn their backs on each other like that.
Furthermore, that's how cooperation should be done: you go find Iwagakure, and they go find Kumogakure...
Wait, is this reasonable?
Nagato pondered this.
That said, in terms of technological development, the Hidden Cloud Village can be said to be unparalleled. Its science and technology are already very advanced, and it even has weapons such as chakra cannons...
With this kind of technology, we hardly even dare to think about it. You're looking for Kumogakure, while I'm looking for Iwagakure. Is that reasonable?
Should the collaboration be split up?
Of course, Nagato wouldn't say it directly; he would have to beat around the bush.
Black Zetsu responded: "It's better to separate. Besides, why would Amegakure go around to cooperate with Kumogakure? Cooperating with Iwagakure makes sense, since they're right next door, right? What else can they do if they don't cooperate?"
Isn't that what we're dealing with?
Let me tell you, this cooperation is perfectly reasonable.
However, Nagato still didn't like Black Zetsu's words. Although they were not wrong, he just felt unwilling to accept them.
“You’re right, but I still feel there’s something wrong with it,” Nagato said slowly, emphasizing his dissatisfaction. “I just don’t like it.”
"That's your problem. Let's leave it at that for now," Obito said, intending to end the conversation to find out what Black Zetsu was thinking.
