Crossover Anime: Plundering the Heavens and Building a Dimensional Empire

Page 185

For Black Zetsu, the worst thing is some bizarre idea that might affect the plan, especially since losing a member in a single mission is a huge blow.

Can your disguise as Uchiha Madara still hold up?

"It's estimated that the Tailed Beasts can't be saved. The Iwagakure side has already suffered nearly two thousand casualties, including many Jonin and elite Chunin. This is a major blow to Iwagakure..."

Instead of explaining the situation or his intentions, Obito Uchiha started rambling about it, seemingly hinting at something.

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu understood immediately; it was clear that he was about to run away.

However, he also knew that this was the best course of action.

Because there was no other way.

Who can we rely on?

Obito?

Purely free.

The fates of the Third and Fourth Raikage are well-documented; those flames target the soul, and if one were truly burned away...

If one cannot return to the Pure Land, then one is truly dead and gone. That would mean that even the possibility of being reborn in the Impure Land is unacceptable to Black Zetsu. Therefore, this situation must be avoided, and one must be extremely careful.

"Obito, what are you planning to do now? There's no chance for you to do anything now." Black Zetsu had no choice but to warn Uchiha Obito.

Don't go crazy again.

There's no room for error now.

"We need a base in Kirigakure, and Kirigakure is that base. We can develop new members there, and also intensify our research on the Impure World Reincarnation technique..."

"Hiruko, take him there and make him our pawn completely. As for Sasori, we will continue to exploit him and control him with the Impure World Reincarnation."

Obito Uchiha ignored Black Zetsu's words and directly stated his thoughts.

Chapter 236 Black Zetsu: We still need to unite.

Hmph, the base is secondary.

It's mainly about revenge, still all for that woman, Nohara Rin. What a foolish idiot.

Black Zetsu knew the other party's intentions. Despite Obito Uchiha's seemingly kind words, he actually knew what the other party meant: revenge...

Okay, it doesn't matter anymore, none of it matters anymore.

Everything still has to serve the Eye of the Moon Project. Xiao still needs to keep a low profile. What has he gained from this first mission?

One member died and two others were seriously injured and on the verge of death. They were incredibly unlucky, but Black Zetsu knew he couldn't complain and had to make changes.

As for Obito's idea, it's actually not bad. Kirigakure is a good cover base. The village has been sealed off for many years and Madara Uchiha has left behind some backup plans, so it's not difficult to control. Anyway, this is a good thing.

It's a pity, though. The tailed beasts are definitely gone, but what is Uchiha Hakumoku's intention?

It's because... wait, if his eyes are the eternal eyes, wouldn't he be able to see what I've altered?

No, no, no, that's unlikely. Only the Rinnegan can see the complete picture. Those were just fragments of information, meant to lure Uchiha Madara. And considering Uchiha Hakubaku's usual style, this Uchiha is not someone to be fooled!

If that's the case, there are still risks. What should I do?

Black Zetsu had already connected many things to the past, but he dared not reveal them too early. What if Madara Uchiha couldn't do it either? Wouldn't that be the end of them?

We can't do it so soon; we need to wait a bit longer. I need to make sure everything goes perfectly. Besides, the Impure World Reincarnation isn't perfect yet. Even if the materials I've carefully prepared for Madara Uchiha are extraordinary, we still can't gamble on it now.

The real resurrection is not yet time; we must continue to wait.

Having thought this through, Hei Jue decided not to think about it any further.

Because it doesn't make sense.

Thinking about it is pointless.

"Alright then, let's go." Black Zetsu stopped thinking about these complicated matters. He needed to get things sorted out behind the scenes first, develop his abilities, and then make any plans.

"I can't leave in a hurry. I want to see what that woman, Irene, is capable of." Obito Uchiha didn't plan to leave so soon, but rather wait and see.

"Obito, are you sure?" Black Zetsu asked in alarm upon hearing this.

Are you out of your mind?

Knowing those people are dangerous, you're actually going to keep watching just to gather intelligence? Is this really you?

"Black Zetsu, is there a problem with you?" Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha stared straight at Black Zetsu, a cold glint flashing in his scarlet eyes.

Although he was indeed very frustrated because of the Impure World Reincarnation, if things really turned sour, who would work for Black Zetsu? Would he really revive Madara Uchiha?

Is the timing right?

I think it's inappropriate!

Sometimes, Xian Er does have a brain, but most of the time he doesn't. However, when he does have a brain, he turns into a complete beast.

problem?

Of course there are.

That's perfect.

However, that's what he said, but the problem is that he can't say that much, because he really can't stop him, even if he tries to control the guy, but that would only escalate the conflict.

Furthermore, if Obito were simply made a puppet, it would be detrimental to carrying out the work. For now, unity is still necessary, and Black has no intention of exposing himself.

"What I mean is, we need to be careful."

Black didn't want to break off relations, so she only expressed her concerns. You have to understand that if Esdeath is this outrageous, then Irene will probably be even more outrageous.

"We need to figure out the other party's abilities. Since that Esdeath has shown such power, the ability to freeze time and space, Irene must also have some special abilities. Now that we have the opportunity to see her performance, why not observe her carefully? I'm doing this to prepare for the future."

Obito Uchiha would never forget the night he was killed by Hakubaki, the immense humiliation he suffered, being completely toyed with and manipulated from beginning to end. This made him extremely uncomfortable and frustrated, so he had to be clear about it clearly before he could be at peace.

Knowing that he had suffered such a great loss, even risking his life, he now had a rare opportunity and had to find out the truth.

"I suggest that we figure things out, but we need to make proper arrangements so that we don't actually get involved," Black Zetsu said, not wanting to take any risks.

Is it really necessary to take such a risk?

Okay, then I suggest that we prepare for a retreat, make sure there are no problems, not to be completely foolproof, but absolutely not to get surrounded.

"It's alright. Their attention is on Iwagakure. Besides, you can resurrect a few more powerful individuals using Edo Tensei, even if they're just cannon fodder."

There's another story about Obito Uchiha, but anyway, I think if you have the Impure World Reincarnation technique, what's wrong with creating a few more cannon fodder characters?

"You think cannon fodder is easy to find? Besides, sacrifices are a problem too." Black Zetsu was speechless. Did he really think this was something that could be done so easily?

Honestly, do you think this is easy?

"I know, but you can still do it. Just use some useless White Zetsu." Obito Uchiha didn't think it was impossible, since there were plenty of useless White Zetsu anyway.

Using them as sacrifices, especially as cannon fodder sacrifices, I think is very appropriate. Anyway, there are plenty of these white Zetsu, so what's wrong with using a few as cannon fodder?

There's no need to feel bad about it; they're all consumables, so they should be used like this.

"Well said, I'll make the arrangements." Black Zetsu was indeed very annoyed and had a headache because of this, but he was right to make some preparations and arrangements.

When Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu were plotting, their eyes were always fixed on the outside, in order to gather more information.

Esdeath has demonstrated an extremely terrifying ability.

I don't know about that woman named Eileen...

What kind of ability would it be?

This is undoubtedly something to pay attention to.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield outside, Esdeath had frozen over two thousand Iwa ninja, and with the many Iwa ninja she had killed earlier, she now had approximately three thousand.

Three thousand—this number can be said to have severely damaged Iwagakure's vitality.

Although most of the casualties were cannon fodder, and there were many Iwagakure ninjas, there were also many Jonin and Chunin among them. In particular, the Chunin were basically the elite of the elite and the backbone of Iwagakure. So the casualties were already a serious blow.

As for Huang Tu, he didn't die. Esdeath held back. She knew what Bai Mu meant. This time, it was a show of force and to capture the tailed beast in exchange for benefits, etc.

The Tsuchikage's son can be kept; he poses no threat and is merely high-level cannon fodder.

Keeping them around would actually be a drain on Iwagakure, because a ninja like Kyoto, who was defeated head-on by Esdeath, might have his moral compass shattered, and if he were to face her again...

If a ninja lacks willpower and subconsciously harbors fear of Konoha, then that's definitely a good thing for Konoha. Therefore, it's good to keep such ninjas, and ideally, to have more of them.

Chapter 237 Old Zi, Let's Do Our Best

Esdeath was in a bad mood because Obito Uchiha had taken away two Akatsuki members, I think their names were Kakuzu and Sasori?

Even though they were already dead, it was still unpleasant to be taken away, especially right under their noses.

Uchiha Obito, right?

Okay, you're a dead man still jumping around like this. It seems necessary to let you know what the most painful way to die is. I can't let you be so carefree anymore.

This matter...

Thinking of this, Esdeath looked up at the sky, where Onoki and Shiramaki were fighting. However, Onoki was already covered in wounds and was obviously not in good shape.

Onoki is currently at his limit. His chakra is gradually running out, and Esdeath's attack just now directly destroyed more than two thousand Iwa ninja. Exhausted, he is consumed by rage and is about to collapse. If it weren't for his belief in Iwagakure, he probably wouldn't even be able to fly.

Of course, given the current situation, Onoki knew there was little hope.

"Uchiha Hakubaki, you've won."

If you can't beat them, why don't you surrender?

He's not that stupid.

But does that mean we should just admit defeat and surrender?

That's definitely not acceptable. You can only say something like "you won" to save face, but that obviously won't do any good for Bai Mu.

"A loss is a loss, there's no point in saying anything more."

All this talk is just nonsense.

Now we've reached the final step: capture the Tailed Beast.

He said to Eileen, who was still playing around below, "Eileen, stop playing around and get to the point."
