Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The old man was in a hurry to get out of bed.

Kirigakure, secret laboratory.

A violent chakra riot occurred. The entire laboratory was instantly pierced by countless wooden spikes.

However, the guards around seemed to be accustomed to it, and just dodged to the side. To prevent themselves from being injured by the splashing wooden spikes.

Inside the laboratory, Obito or Black Zetsu was getting up with difficulty.

In the original plot, Obito had a very buggy place. That is, his Kamui seemed to be used casually. There was no sense of consumption at all.

This can be explained by the fact that he has Hashirama cells in his body. But in fact, after Aoba transplanted Hashirama cells, he realized that this was impossible.

Even if there were Hashirama's cells, the Mangekyo could not recover so quickly.

The only possibility is that Madara or Black Zetsu did something to Obito's body.

Aoba is more inclined to believe that Obito's body was transformed by Black Zetsu using Yin-Yang escape technique. That's why he has such strong recovery ability.

This method is definitely not easy to use. Obito was the most important chess piece at the beginning, so Black Zetsu spent a lot of effort to transform his body.

But in the previous battle of Konoha, Obito's body was completely damaged. Not only that, Black Zetsu himself lost part of his body.

This caused Black Zetsu to fall into a weak state after escaping. Obito's body can be repaired. Just one White Zetsu will do it.

But Black Zetsu's body was separated from Kaguya. He can't recover by himself.

This is also the reason why Black Zetsu likes to be the sixth. Once its body is damaged, no one in the entire ninja world can repair it.

It took several months and consumed hundreds of White Zetsu. Black Zetsu can only barely recover about 70%.

For the remaining 30%, there is no hope unless Kaguya is resurrected.

This made Black Zetsu even more silent. Kumogakure and Iwagakure were defeated, and Konoha was the leader. He was also not moved at all. There was no way, the last trip to Konoha gave him too much of a blow.

For a guy who was used to being the sixth, that ambush really scared Black Zetsu.

It decided to hide behind the scenes again. Anyway, now that Uchiha Madara has appeared, it can manipulate Uchiha Madara to continue to advance the plan.

But Madara is not so easy to manipulate. Because the current Uchiha Madara does not seem to have any interest in capturing the tailed beast.

He put all his energy into regaining the Samsara Eye and truly resurrecting himself.

But because of Aoba's intrusion, Black Zetsu lost his position in the Akatsuki organization. This made it impossible for it to easily approach Nagato.

Obito's Kamui is not absolutely unsolvable. What's more, he only has one eye. Facing Nagato's Samsara Eye, Black Zetsu instinctively felt a little weak.

Fortunately, Madara did not count on the incomplete Black Zetsu. Prepare to go into battle himself. Take back the Samsara Eye, and then use the Samsara Natural Technique to revive yourself.

However, it is not as easy to deal with Nagato as imagined. After all, the other party now controls the Rain Country.

And after all these years of governance by Konan. The Rain Country is much stronger than in the original plot. The last war was not affected.

To take back the Samsara Eye from Nagato means to fight the entire Rain Country.

And the Rain Country where the Akatsuki organization is stationed. It is no exaggeration to say that it ranks second in the entire ninja world except Konoha.

Let alone the group of Kage-level masters in the Akatsuki organization, any two of them will be gone. It takes a big ninja village to resist.

Black Zetsu sent a large number of White Zetsu to sneak into the Rain Village for reconnaissance. But the result is not optimistic.

"Aren't there any loopholes?"

"No, it's not that there are no loopholes. With the strength of Madara-sama, the defense line of the entire Rain Village is actually full of loopholes. But the high-end combat power of this village is beyond imagination.

According to my intelligence, the leadership of the Rain Village has a close relationship with Kamikawa Aoba of Konoha. In addition to a lot of high-end combat power, they also have a complete sealing team."

Uchiha Madara frowned after hearing this.

He is very strong now, but he himself dare not say that he is invincible. Even compared to the Impure World Body in the plot, Madara is weaker now.

Because Black Zetsu is Madara who summoned spirits in advance, in order to prevent Madara from being difficult to control. The sacrifice it summoned Madara is not the best White Zetsu. This has led to Madara's strength shrinking.

The Impure World Body is not afraid of everything.

The power of Yin and Yang escape can actually hurt or even seal Madara. At the same time, the sealing technique performed by the advanced sealing class together is also a threat to Madara.

If Madara hadn't fought with Aoba, he would have absolutely no taboos and would have rushed directly into the Rain Village to fight Nagato.

Because deep down, he had never looked down on the ninjas of this era.

But after the battle with Aoba, he realized that he was not yet invincible in the ninja world.

Once he openly attacked an independent ninja village, he would be directly exposed to the entire ninja world. At that time, he would directly attract the siege of the entire ninja world.

If he was defeated and sealed under the Impure World Body, he would never be able to turn over.

So, Madara finally managed to keep his hand.

Konoha, Hokage's office.

"I still don't understand, why don't we just announce the truth to the entire ninja world?"

Tsunade didn't understand Aoba's cover-up. What she wanted now was to announce the truth and then gather the power of the entire ninja world.

Whether it was Uchiha Madara or Black Zetsu, just kill them in one wave, and then everything would be fine, right?

"What truth should we announce? Tell the whole ninja world whether the mastermind behind this is Uchiha Madara or the son of the ancient chakra ancestor?"

"Why not? We already have a lot of evidence in our hands. It's totally possible..."

"Hokage-sama, I understand what you mean. You want to use these evidences to prove that what you said is right. Then use them to unite the whole ninja world. But I can tell you clearly.

Even if everyone believes what you said, the ninja world will never be completely united. Because the power of uniting the whole ninja world depends not on right or wrong, but on...interests."

"Uchiha Madara threatens the whole ninja world. Isn't it our common interest to defeat him?"

Tsunade is not brainless. What she said is actually completely correct. A common enemy of the ninja world. Naturally, the ninja world needs to defeat him together.

"Can you prove that Uchiha Madara threatens the entire ninja world? He hasn't done anything yet."

"But he will do it eventually."

"Yes, but that's the fact. Even if everyone knows that Uchiha Madara is an enemy and everyone knows that he will threaten the entire ninja world. But before he does it, the ninja world will never unite.

Sometimes I feel inferior for being a human being. Because humans are such fucked-up creatures. Unless a knife is placed on their necks, they won't react."
