74 Danzo's Obsession

In an underground cave,

"I have taught you all that you could learn, and those eyes, you can only master them yourself"

an old man sat on the stone seat as the shell of the ten tails, Gedo Statue was behind him.

"As expected of you Lord Madara, you even opened his Mangekyo"

Black Zetsu like a loyal dog praised Madara, who's expression didn't waver and kept looking at the person in front.

During this year, Fukashi from a naive, weak person has completely changed.

Madara taught him carefully imparting all of his Jutsu and battle experience to Fukashi which benefited him a lot.

Madara didn't want the pawn he left to die before even resurrecting him, ruining his future plan.

There's an aura of extreme confidence around him which reveals that his strength has taken a huge leap under the constant guidance of Madara.

"I can feel the power of these eyes, whether it's Konoha or anyone else, they won't be able to resist me"

Fukashi put his hand around his eyes feeling the power that Madara granted him.

Mangekyo required extreme emotional disturbance to unlock it.

During this year, Madara would use illusion on Fukashi from time to time to stimulate him.

Madara was helpless as this was the only way to open the Mangekyo of Fukashi.

Unlike Obito, Fukashi didn't have anyone who he cared for, so using illusion to show him again and again, his failure make a fair world, he finally managed to unlock his Mangekyo.

"I leave the rest to you know"

Madara didn't care much after hearing the arrogant words of Fukashi.

When he resurrects one day, he will show Fukashi what real strength is and a simple Mangekyo wasn't worth mentioning in front of him.

Madara stood up and moved forward as the tube attached to him was unplugged and Madara soon lay on the ground his breathing stopped.

Black Zetsu immediately took the corpse of Madara with him disappearing.

Black Zetsu was naturally didn't completely trust Fukashi, so he hid Madara's corpse for the resurrection in the future.

Fukashi put a black cape with it's hood covering his head and put on a spiral orange mask with two red eyes visible from it.

"From now on I'm Uchiha Madara, the power of Rinnegan is needed for our plan, we have to think of a way to change the thoughts of Nagato"

"Hanzo would definitely not let such an organization prosper in his village, that will be the perfect time to awaken his Rinnegan"

Black Zetsu has always beem monitoring the Rain Village, so he knows what kind of a person Hanzo is.

"Let's go, it's time to meet Nagato"

Fukashi disappeared from the cave along with Black Zetsu moving towards the rain village.

"Kozuki Sensei, Chief sent this for you"

Shisui handed the scroll that he received from Fugaku to Kozuki.

Kozuki took the scroll as he opened it with a seal and started reading the content.

"Only 10"

Kozuki looked at the scroll and saw only 10 names of those Uchiha who were around his age and died or were missing.

"Shisui, give my thanks to Chief Fugaku, this was extremely helpful to me"

Kozuki only knew about one person from these names in the scroll and he was Uchiha Fukashi.

He remembered the aura of Fukashi from academy days and with his Observation Haki he could easily differentiate between people due to their different aura.

If in the future he meets the pawn of Madara, he could easily tell whether it was Fukashi or not.

Kozuki actually hoped that it would be Fukashi, because if it is someone else he won't be able to exactly identify him even if he knows these names.

Root Headquarters

"How is it, have you learned it?"

Sarutobi alongside Danzo stood together as he looked at the Anbu with the cat shaped mask in front of him.

"Yes, Lord Third I'm ready to give my life whenever you want me too"

The Anbu replied immediately with no hesitation in his voice.

"Hiruzen, everything is ready now, let's deal with that Kid"

In the dark atmosphere, the expression on Danzo's face looked even more hideous as his eyes were red from rage towards Kozuki.

Whenever he remembers, that time when he was humiliated by Kozuki in front of all the Konoha Army, his eyes turn red from anger wishing to kill him immediately.

"around 1or 2 months are left before Kushina gives birth, if something bad happens, you know we need every ounce of power to deal with the Nine Tails, just wait a bit more, then he's yours"

Sarutobi was distressed as whenever they are about to deal with Kozuki something happens that stops them from doing so.

He doesn't know whether it is Kozuki who is lucky or it's a warning from the god of death to them.

Danzo felt utter frustration once again but he had to bear it as this was all he could do and could only wait for another month.

"Just 2 months, you only have two more months, Kozuki"

Danzo imagined the scene when Kozuki would be dying in front of him and he with his own hands will cut his head and complete his revenge.
