"The plan to capture the One-Tailed has failed."
Pitcher Plant Yin-Yang Zetsu rose from the ground, the black half narrating, "Scorpion and Deidara encountered a mysterious enemy and couldn't escape. Not even their corpses were left behind."
It was more surprised than it had imagined. The mysterious enemy had not even allowed it to capture who it was, which was a very shocking thing.
The plan that had already begun suddenly had variables due to the sudden appearance of a mysterious person.
"We were already lacking Orochimaru, and now we've lost two more." Kisame Hoshigaki paused and said, "Perhaps it would be better to choose another suitable time?"
Pain, standing in the center, had a very calm face, and said, "Since Scorpion and Deidara failed, Itachi and Kisame, you two should go there immediately."
"The others act according to the plan."
They had already started taking action and had captured two Tailed Beasts. They definitely couldn't waste time. They had to capture all the Tailed Beasts before the Five Great Nations reacted and gathered together.
"Yes." Uchiha Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki agreed very readily.
Pain paused and said, "Zetsu, you are responsible for finding the person who killed Scorpion and Deidara."
"Okay." Zetsu disappeared into the ground.
"That's all!"
"Bang!" After the sound fell, everyone disappeared from the spot at about the same time.
At the top of the cave, Old Madara, who had quietly listened to the conversation, basked in the sparse sunlight, a smile on his face.
[The Chakra inside the Rinnegan is very similar to mine, but it's different]
He thought thoughtfully, since there was a slight difference, he absolutely couldn't regard the 'Madara' of other worlds as himself.
Because he knew Zetsu too well, after killing Scorpion and Deidara, he immediately noticed the existence of Zetsu below. He followed all the way to the cave, listened to Akatsuki's meeting, and directly modified his plan.
At first, he thought of capturing Nagato and Lin Ke of World Number Three, taking them back, committing suicide, and then letting Zetsu control the tool person Nagato to revive himself.
But history seemed to have changed.
He knew a lot about what had happened in World Number Three from Deidara's head, and he also saw Kakuzu and Uchiha Itachi, who had been killed in Black Zetsu's memories of traveling through time and space, which was very subtle.
Where was the crucial Lin Ke? Or were there different changes in different worlds? Nagato had begun to collect Tailed Beasts. Now Akatsuki had already captured two Tailed Beasts and sent them into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. The success of the Eye of the Moon Plan was not too far away.
Obito Uchiha, as 'Madara's' successor, was unwilling to collect the Tailed Beasts and revive 'Madara' with Rinne Rebirth according to the original plan. He definitely had other plans in mind. In World Number One, he betrayed Madara early on.
The possibility of subsequent conflicts was 100%.
Whether Madara of World Number Three could be resurrected as scheduled was an unknown.
Having seen how difficult Obito Uchiha was in Black Zetsu's memory, and seeing the new changes, he, who was weak and frail, decisively gave up the idea of directly snatching Nagato.
He wanted to wait for a better opportunity.
After the deadly battle with Hashirama in the Valley of the End, he had been waiting, never lacking the patience to continue waiting. Now what awaited him was no longer the boring Ninja World of the past, but more worlds. It was natural to spend some time waiting.
Waiting for the results of the Eye of the Moon Plan to see if there was room for improvement.
However, Konoha Village of World Number One could not be underestimated. If they chased after him, it would be very troublesome. He had to help speed things up and let Akatsuki collect the Tailed Beasts as quickly as possible.
"First, go to Konoha Village to confirm Lin Ke's existence, then change identities to help them capture the Tailed Beasts and stuff them into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. When the time comes..."
Uchiha Madara's body disappeared from the spot.
A few minutes later, Zetsu rose from the ground. The black half frowned, thinking, I seemed to sense a familiar aura just now, but then again, maybe it was nothing.
Was it just my imagination?
White Zetsu laughed and said, "Don't waste time. We'll soon be able to watch the battle between the One-Tail Jinchuriki and Itachi. Don't you want to see it?"
Black Zetsu remained noncommittal, allowing the White Zetsu he was parasitizing to sink into the ground and speed off towards Sand Ninja Village. — World Number Two, Kannabi Bridge base, Laboratory.
"Madara is still alive, and he kidnapped Jiraiya?!" Senju Tobirama's voice rose an octave.
He paced back and forth with his short legs, visibly agitated. "No, we have to do something!"
"Chase him to another world? Or strengthen the Main World's defenses?" Lin Ke asked.
Senju Tobirama sighed, stopped, and didn't offer any constructive suggestions. Knowing Madara, that guy had definitely left this world to look for opportunities in other worlds.
Jiraiya had a full three portions of Lin Ke's Chakra and a Scroll of the Boat Crossing Technique. He could go anywhere he wanted, but—
Could Madara understand the Boat Crossing Technique in such a short time?
He was a little doubtful. If he didn't understand it and just snatched the Scroll to leave World Number Two for another world, how would he come back in the future?
Even with Lin Ke's Chakra, it wouldn't work without the Formula, right?
Did he really go to the Main World? "Madara is still alive at this time." Senju Tobirama frowned, thought for a long while, and said, "Lin Ke, help this world's First Hokage reincarnate. He should be able to retain most of his strength. After the problems here are resolved, go home and check for Madara's whereabouts. See if he's run over to our side."
"If you confirm that he's gone to another world, organize a small team to bring him back."
Since his brother trusted the guy, he wouldn't be the bad guy. When facing Madara, one could never be too careful.
"Alright." Lin Ke nodded and then said, "What about Jiraiya?"
Black Zetsu was determined to play hide-and-seek. Even Senju Hashirama in his prime probably couldn't do anything about it. Probably only someone at the Six Paths level could deal with him.
And even ordinary Six Paths level people might have a hard time catching him.
Wasting time to catch Black Zetsu had too little return. That was why he had temporarily withdrawn.
"That guy." Senju Tobirama rarely showed a frustrated expression. "Let this world's Minato take people to find him."
He paused and said, "Brother and the First Hokage have already resolved the battlefield with Sand Ninja Village. This world's Minato has also temporarily repelled the Hidden Stone Village's invasion. Next is Hidden Mist Village, and then..."
"Remember to catch the Three-Tails," Lin Ke interjected.
"I've already informed Brother. At the latest, you'll have the Three-Tails by tonight," Senju Tobirama said casually. This little matter didn't need too much attention.
It was like promising a toy to his own child.
"Then, I will convene this world's Five Kage Summit." Senju Tobirama said with a serious face. Since it wasn't his own world, he could try out some of Lin Ke's wonderful ideas.
"No, a Six Kage Summit," he corrected himself.
