Chapter 125 - He Knows!

Yahiko, Konan, Agent P, and Kabuto appeared on the outskirt of the island that is the Land of Whirlpool, and as soon as Konan got her bearing back she turns to Kabuto and says "Quickly send me back! He now knows where Nagato' body is, I can't let him take it!".

But Yahiko took a hold of her and said "Konan stop! It's too late now... the only thing we can do now is recover and prepare to take Nagato's body back, as we are now we can't deal with him" Konan struggles for a few seconds before she once again calms down and says "You are right Yahiko... I am out of Chakra and Papers... And in my best state I was only able to wound him" and Yahiko "Yeah that space-time Jutsu is really hard to deal with... You have to hit him with large-scale jutsu for five minutes straight to kill him...".

Then Konan turns to Agent P and Kabuto and says "Thanks for saving us... but how did you know that we were in danger?" Agent P move closer and give her Ren's letter, Konan took it and give it a quick read, then she gave it to Yahiko who frowned as he was reading it.

After he read the letter he said "Shit! So there will be another war... Only this time is Madara against all the Shinobi World... And what the hell he plans to put the whole world under Genjutsu! How can that be peace!?" then he turns to Konan and asks "What do you think about his advice to join force with Jiraiya-sensei and take Nagato's body back?" and Konan "Will he really help us after everything Nagato and I did?" but Yahiko smiled and said "Of course, he will! He himself said that if we needed help we could go and ask him!" then Yahiko asked Kabuto "So where is Sensei now? And also where are we?"

Kabuto looks at them and replies "Right now Jiraiya-san is in Konoha helping the village with the war preparation while Tsunade-sama is in the Allied Force HQ... and we are near Uzushio, in the Land of Whirlpool" then Yahiko and Konan look at each other and nodded then gave Kabuto and Agent P their thanks and run in the direction of Konoha.

The next day, in the Mountains' Graveyard, the figure of Obito sitting on a rock donning a new mask, a white mask with a purple tint that covers the entire upper half of his head, the mask's design resembles a combination of the Sharingan and Rinnegan, consisting of a ripple pattern with three tomoe around the center, two of which act as the mask's eye-holes through which a Sharingan and a Rinnegan can be seen, he seems lost in thought.

'I was able to create five of the Pein Rikudō (Six Path of Pain) using the bodies of the previous Jinchuriki and put the Bijuu in them, but Yagura's one was a failure... In fact in the Gedo Mazo, the Sanbi is absent, there is only a piece of his chakra, like the Hachibi, How could that Bijuu trick me? Different from the Hachibi he didn't even leave a tail... I was sure I sealed him! Now I have to find the body of the Ichibi's Jinchuriki and turn that one...'.

Then Orochimaru, Suigetsu, and Zetsu walked inside, and Orochimaru looking at Obito says "Looks like you've got some good new eyes for your trouble...", and Obito simply replies "They were mine, to begin with" Orochimaru smiles and said "Sure..." then Zetsu takes out a scroll and says "Here... I've got some intel from Kisame... Things are going our way".

Obito stood up and says "I'm going to get the Kyubi and the Hachibi!" but Orochimaru says "Wait... Let Suigetsu go and take them" and Obito asks "What are you plotting?" And Orochimaru says "Nothing much... but Naruto is always together with another experiment of mine, a copy of Hashirama called Yamato, with him here I can strengthen Zetsu over there..." then with an evil smile "After all, he is fundamental for the revival of the Juubi" and Obito "You are quite knowledgeable aren't you... but you did a lot of sniffing around...".

And Orochimaru continues "From Kisame intel, we know that the Alliance is about 80.000 strong... so a stronger Zetsu is essential... I just need one from the 100.000 down here to see how to improve him..." hearing that Zetsu says "You... How much do you know?".

Obito looks at Orochimaru for a few seconds before saying "Very well..." then he went back underground, Orochimaru then said to Suigetsu "You heard him go and catch Naruto, the Hachibi's Jinchuriki and Yamato... take Suzaku and Seiryu with you...".

Then Orochimaru does a simple hand gesture and opens a path to the Garganta, a featureless black void connecting Hueco Mundo to other worlds, and the next second from it two big hollows comes out, one is bird-like with skeletal wings and a demonic-like white mask with a vertical red marking in the middle, the other is a strange mix between an eastern dragon and a seahorse, his mask almost resembles a dragon skull and has two blue marking to the sides.

Suigetsu, jumps on top of Suzaku and says "Then I'll go... I hope some good swords are there..." then Suzaku grabbed Seiryu with his razor-sharp claws and flew in the direction of the Island Turtle.

Orochimaru then looked at Zetsu and with a cold smile, he said "It seems that even with some ups and down your plan is coming along nicely..." and Zetsu asks "...What do you mean?" and Orochimaru "Come on... I saw that kid many times together with the Fourth Hokage, even if his abilities improved a lot, and his character became twisted, he never was the kind of guy that is calm and calculative, it can be seen by his last action... coming out in the open and declare war on all the shinobi world with only 100.000 chunin level foot soldiers that are not even specialized for combat and 7 Bijuu? A fool choice... So it is clear that there is someone else behind him"

Then Orochimaru's gaze became a lot sharper "At first I thought it was the real Madara behind him with some kind of plan of reviving himself... But then I remember a little detail... The Uchiha clan members even if powerful are easily swayed by their emotions and thus easily manipulated... So the real puppeteer has to be someone else, and in my search for knowledge I have found in the Ryuichi Cave the legend about a certain progenitor of Chakra that by some coincidence is sealed into the moon..."

Hearing that Zetsu's face changed then he said "You are really a dangerous Orochimaru... Even more now that you became like those things..." and Orochimaru replies "Don't worry I won't obstruct your plan, I just want to have my revenge and know all the secrets of the world..." then he walked away and once he was alone he said "And I also wonder what the progenitor of Chakra taste like...".
