Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

“More than ten meters underground? Weak?”

Hearing this, Black Zetsu's spirits immediately lifted, and he quickly changed direction.

Although he couldn't be sure if it was it, it wouldn't hurt to take a look. He didn't want to miss any details!

His speed was extremely fast, especially underground, where the Mayfly Technique used on White Zetsu provided him with even greater convenience.

Before long, he had arrived at the location and immediately detected the faint chakra signature.

In addition to the chakra, he also understood more clearly why Hideki Shuzawa hadn't discovered this place.

“Sealed himself inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?”

A Demonic Statue of the Outer Path with insufficient chakra would naturally be noticed at a glance, but now that it had recovered and absorbed a considerable amount of Tailed Beast chakra, the situation was different!

Even if he sensed it from a distance, he would only detect the aura of nature!

This made Black Zetsu secretly praise Nagato's good fortune. If it were a complete Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, then the vast, seemingly endless natural energy would naturally have been discovered by Shuzawa Hideki.

But under the current circumstances, it was different. Unless someone dug three feet into the ground, it wouldn't be easy to find.

This made Black Zetsu breathe a slight sigh of relief. He immediately ran over, wanting to awaken Nagato.

Being a user of Yin-Yang Release himself, he didn't have to worry about his chakra being blocked by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Sure enough, after confirming his chakra, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path hidden underground finally 'opened,' and he saw Nagato hiding in the mouth of the statue.

“I’ve finally found you.”

Black Zetsu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but when he clearly saw Nagato's appearance, he immediately gasped!

Nagato looked too miserable at this moment!

His aura was weak, his form withered, and he leaned against the inside of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, looking completely like he was on the verge of death.

If the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path wasn't constantly sustaining Nagato with chakra, this guy would probably have already kicked the bucket!

This scene filled Black Zetsu with fear, and he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

“Are you alright?”

“I won’t die just yet.”

Nagato weakly shook his head, almost gritting his teeth as he whispered.

“That damned Uchiha Obito, he's the one who led Minato Namikaze here, causing Jiraiya and Hideki Shuzawa to investigate the Rain Country together!

Moreover, that damned bastard was taught a lesson by Hideki Shuzawa, and as a result, he abandoned me and ran away himself, damn it!”

Uchiha Obito led people here?

Black Zetsu obviously didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. He blankly looked at the miserable Nagato, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After a long while, a surge of anger welled up in his heart.

Uchiha Obito...

He does more harm than good!

“Then how is the Rain Country now? How are Hideki Shuzawa and the others?”

“Konan shouldn't have been exposed. When Hideki Shuzawa and the others came over, she happened to be patrolling outside. How is she now?”

A worried look appeared on Nagato's pale face, as if he was genuinely concerned about something happening.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu immediately signaled to White Zetsu beside him, and after waiting for a while, he spoke.

“Don't worry, she's fine now, and she's been actively cooperating with the people from Konoha in the search, but I heard that she has already set off towards Konoha.”

“Going to Konoha?”

Nagato's pale face became somewhat unsightly, and he clenched his fist, saying.

“Going to Konoha at this time, isn't she afraid of something happening?”

“She's probably worried that you'll be captured and taken to Konoha.”

Black Zetsu immediately spoke to appease him, now he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“That's why she's going over to take a look, after all, you've been hiding here. But don't worry, I'll have White Zetsu notify Konan.

Moreover, the most urgent task now is to quickly move you away from here. We still have more important things to do.”

Nagato was fine, which finally reassured Black Zetsu. At least the Rinnegan was still in his hands, so the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path could operate normally.

What he feared most was Nagato being captured and the Rinnegan being taken away by Shuzawa Hideki. Fortunately, the worst-case scenario didn't happen.

So, to prevent any accidents from happening, he had to move Nagato and leave this damned place!

“Indeed, there are more important things.”

Nagato clenched his fists, looking full of hatred, but as he spoke, he also secretly observed Black Zetsu.

Finding that this guy didn't seem to be acting strangely, he also breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If he didn't notice anything, then naturally everything was fine, after all, his current mission was extremely important!

Hideki resurrected Yahiko in front of him, which gave him a huge shock, knowing that it wasn't Impure World Reincarnation.

And although Yahiko was confused, after learning about everything that was happening, he slowly recovered.

Although the problem between Shuzawa and Konan gave him a headache, there was no denying that these past few days had been the happiest days for him!

He couldn't even remember the last time he was so happy.

He knew very well who had brought him all of this, and he also understood what he had to do. He now longed more than ever to see a bright future!

Konan going to Konoha was something that had been decided from the start, and Yahiko would also go with her, after all, Konoha was the safest place.

After this matter had passed, they would both return.

In fact, Nagato hoped that they would just stay in Konoha, after all, no matter how he looked at it, Konoha was the safest place.

But obviously, they wouldn't abandon him either, they still hoped to fight side by side.

This made Nagato feel warm inside, which further inspired his enthusiasm for work. He absolutely couldn't let down those who trusted him!

“Take me to a safe place, so we can properly seal away the chakra of those Tailed Beasts.”

Thinking of this, Nagato took a deep breath, his eyes still filled with some anger.

“Uchiha Obito and Shisui Hidezawa, I will remember these two!”

“Don't worry, there will always be a chance to take everything back.”

Black Zetsu nodded, not even realizing he had overlooked Uchiha Obito.

Clearly, he also hated Uchiha Obito to the core!

However, he quickly thought of something and added.

“Also, don't rush to leave just yet. There are too many people from Konoha outside. We need someone to divert their attention so we can retreat more easily.”

“Oh?”

Nagato frowned and asked in confusion.

“What are you planning to do?”

“Don't worry, Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha have already been dispatched.”

Black Zetsu controlled White Zetsu to transmit information while speaking casually.

“Even if there's a situation here, with Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju holding them back, he won't be able to rush over here immediately.”

“Phew, comfortable!”

At noon, inside the Senju clan's ancestral home, Tsunade was secretly drinking sake at home.

After being busy for so many days, she planned to take a good rest.

In her opinion, being Hokage was not something a human could do. Heaven knows why there were so many troublesome things to deal with all the time.

This made it difficult for her to find a suitable place to slack off!

“And those izakayas are full of eyes everywhere, it's really annoying. Why can't I learn the Flying Thunder God Technique?”

She took a gulp of sake, and Tsunade immediately felt a lot more comfortable, but soon she tilted her head and looked outside.

“Speaking of which, why haven't that bastard Hidezawa and Jiraiya returned after being out for so many days?”

Hidezawa and Jiraiya had gone to the Rain Country to investigate Uchiha Obito, and several days had already passed. No one knew what was happening there.

From the reports, she only knew that Hidezawa and Jiraiya had a great battle with the Akatsuki members in an abandoned underground passage in the Rain Country.

Afterward, she dispatched many troops from Konoha to the Rain Country to search, but she knew nothing else.

“However, with Hidezawa around, the situation shouldn't be too bad, right?”

When she thought of Hidezawa, Tsunade's expression became a little strange. She had an indescribable feeling about this guy.

Without a doubt, he was the future of Konoha.

At a young age, his personal charm and strength were almost maxed out, and even his intelligence and skills were far beyond ordinary people.

Although this guy had big problems, like being a pervert.

But such things were really not worth mentioning compared to his other aspects, and the ninja world had always been a world of the strong.

Who wouldn't like such a person?

“If only he wasn't my disciple, that would be great.”

Tsunade took another sip. In fact, she knew that she didn't particularly care about being a disciple or not.

It's just that facing this guy, she felt a little restrained, and that complex mood really made her a little depressed.

Especially when this bastard always liked to call her 'Teacher,' which really made Tsunade unable to hold back.

“What a bastard…”

“Teacher, even if you don't go to work, it's not good to be at home scolding people, right?”

However, just as Tsunade murmured, a voice suddenly sounded behind her, which immediately made Tsunade's body tremble slightly.

Turning her head to look, Hidezawa had already walked to her side at some point, which immediately made her eyes widen.

“You… you're back?”

“Yeah, the matter is settled, so naturally, I'm back.”

Hidezawa walked to Tsunade's side with a smile, and then sat down without any politeness.

“Drinking again? How many times have I told you, don't drink alcohol, why don't you listen?”

“Mind your own business.”

Tsunade leaned towards him subconsciously, but quickly realized that her actions seemed inappropriate, and she immediately put on a stern face.

“You're rebelling, aren't you? I'm your teacher!”

“Yes, yes, yes, Teacher.”

Hidezawa raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

This perfunctory behavior made Tsunade feel somewhat dissatisfied, but at least they maintained the superficial teacher-student relationship.

“How is the Rain Country? Did anything go wrong?”

Seeing Hidezawa sitting down next to her, Tsunade pursed her lips and finally asked helplessly.

“You made such a big commotion, fighting and sending people to search, is it very troublesome?”

“Actually, trouble is far from being the case. Everything is under my control, and there's something I haven't told Teacher.”

Hidezawa shrugged before continuing.

“Actually, our infiltration of Akatsuki has always been very deep, and we have basically figured out the internal situation of Akatsuki.

The root cause of everything is actually Uchiha Obito. It is this guy who colluded with Danzo and created countless tragedies.”

Tsunade was a little confused, but as Hidezawa explained, her brows furrowed slightly.

In fact, Hidezawa was not talking nonsense, nor was he exaggerating too much. He just slightly concealed the things that should be hidden, and the rest were facts.

But even such facts made Tsunade realize a lot of problems.

“So, those disciples of Jiraiya were bewitched by Uchiha Obito and went down the path of opposing Konoha?”
