Fateful Meeting

Black-Zetsu was extremely panicked. He had an important responsibility on his shoulders and was wandering in the dark. However, he suddenly discovered that he was actually an enemy of the entire world?

He was extremely afraid of Otsutsuki's clan. He wished that all these outsiders would die, leaving only his mother.

He had indirectly betrayed Yuuji and Obito, so he naturally did not dare to approach them.

Eye organization... Alright, after putting in so much effort and finally joining the Eye organization, he found that it was useless.

He had gotten some information about the Eye organization, but it seemed like he had not gotten anything. He was not going to get Hitomi's trust.

Looking around, everyone wanted to kill him, Black-Zetsu.

"Everyone wants me to die. This world is no longer good. Hurry up and destroy it."

Black-Zetsu carefully shuttled through the underground, and with White Zetsu's ventilation report, he could avoid the experts who were tracking him in advance.

"If you want to revive Madara, you have to make some preparations in advance. Otherwise, when this guy appears, he will notice that something is wrong and kill me first."

Black-Zetsu continuously made plans and repeatedly overturned them.

It had Rinnegan, and the most important prerequisite for reviving Madara was already present.

But how could it be revived directly?

"I am the embodiment of his will. He will not doubt me. I can also explain the matter of him taking Nagato's eyes away as a way to resurrect him. Once Rinnegan falls into the hands of Yuuji, everything will be over."

Black-Zetsu racked his brains.

Then, how exactly should he revive?

Should he dig out Madara's already tattered corpse?

And then use the reincarnation technique on this tattered corpse?

That also needed to store a lot of vitality, so as to avoid Madara being in a state of old age that was about to die when he was resurrected.

Black-Zetsu thought about it, and to be safe, he came to a seal in the territory of the Fire Country. He carefully penetrated the seal barrier left by the second generation Hokage and entered Madara's grave.

Black-Zetsu had already figured out the layout of the second generation Hokage's corpse back then.

However, it entered to take a look.

"Someone touched Madara's coffin, and sure enough, someone noticed it." Black-Zetsu stared at Rinnegan and observed.

The location of this tomb was top secret information. Other than it and Obito, who else knew?

"Edo Tensei? Probably through the information obtained by the second generation Hokage, Orochimaru really can't be underestimated."

Black-Zetsu did not hesitate. He immediately turned around and searched for Orochimaru's whereabouts, and blocked him at a base.

"It's you! Akatsuki's traitor actually came to find me. What, do you want to talk to me about the experience of being a traitor? Or the thoughts of being hunted by the organization all year round?"

Orochimaru's muscles tightened slightly, and he looked at Black-Zetsu with a sneer.

He really did not expect that Black-Zetsu would actually find him.

"Orochimaru, you went to dig up Uchiha Madara's body, right?" Black-Zetsu slowly emerged from the ground.

Orochimaru greedily glanced at Black-Zetsu's Rinnegan. "You went to the tomb left behind by the second generation? Strange, how did you know that place? This is not normal. I only knew about it because of the second generation Hokage. Where did you find out about this?"

"It seems that your information is outdated. The guy who claimed to be Madara has been exposed."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"The Uchiha Obito who died in the third battle."

"Obito, that loser? The kid who barely showed his talent after entering the battlefield?" Orochimaru was shocked.

He had an impression of this person, and he was one of Namikaze Minato's subordinates.

But what kind of trash was Uchiha Obito? He dared to disguise as Madara and deceived the world for so many years?

Orochimaru quickly recalled what "Madara" had done after the three battles.

In the chaos of the Kyubi, he had fought with Yondaime. In the battle between Toneri and Isshiki, he had played an important role, displaying his terrifying strength.

It was precisely because of this powerful strength that those who had doubts in their hearts no longer doubted Obito's identity.

But the problem was, if this Madara was fake, then where had the real Madara gone?

In that tomb, It did not have Madara's corpse!

Even the second generation Hokage who came from the Edo Tensei was shocked.

He suspected that Madara had used Izanagi to deceive him and faked his death to escape.

"Let's not talk about Obito's strength, at least this courage is amazing." Orochimaru said with a low smile, "Then, why did you come to me? You should have joined the eye organization in the past two years, relying on your stolen Rinnegan..."

"Bring out his Edo Tensei. I searched the entire Fire Country before I found Uchiha Madara. Since you also have thoughts about him, then use Edo Tensei to resurrect him."

"Why would I do that?"

"You are the same as me, offending all forces. As time passes, your living space will become smaller and smaller. When Otsutsuki's problem is completely solved, Konoha and Akatsuki will be able to take action to completely kill you. At that time, do you still have time to develop Ninjutsu? Do you still have time to improve your strength?" Black-Zetsu said coldly.

Orochimaru was silent for a moment, but he didn't have any words to improve his own weight.

Both of them were cunning fellows, so there was no need for them to say any superfluous words.

"Reviving the legendary Uchiha Madara? This kind of plan, just thinking about it makes my blood boil." Orochimaru smiled darkly.

"A cold-blooded animal like snakes can also boil blood?"

"Ha, Black-Zetsu, you've changed a lot. You're going to pick a fight with me. It seems that your life has been very difficult these past few years." Orochimaru glanced at Black-Zetsu and said sarcastically.

"So, is it a deal? Use your Edo Tensei to revive Uchiha Madara." Black-Zetsu said calmly.

Orochimaru, however, did not immediately respond. Instead, he sneered and walked to his laboratory. In the dark, he had already prepared a spell to kill Black-Zetsu here.

Once he succeeded, he would be able to obtain Rinnegan!

Did this pair of eyes really have the power to control life and death just like the name implied?

Hopefully, it was not as simple as just extracting the soul.

"You're going to be disappointed. I'm not interested in reviving Uchiha Madara at all." Orochimaru suddenly said.

Just as he was about to make a move.

Black-Zetsu threw out a small bottle that contained some miscellaneous items.

"What is this?"

"Madara's flesh and blood, through these life tissues, you will probably be able to successfully cast the spell. So you don't have to lie to me. I know clearly that you doesn't have Madara's body in your hands." Black-Zetsu said.

That old guy Madara died in front of it, and his body was naturally sealed by it and Obito.

Orochimaru suddenly turned his head and looked at Black-Zetsu.

Black-Zetsu said, "It's not that I haven't done anything all these years. I have been searching everywhere for Madara's body, and I have gained something."

"Madara's body actually fell into your hands... Even the second generation Hokage would not expect this result."

Orochimaru's face changed. He thought of many possibilities, and his body was very honest. He picked up the test tube at the first time and ate it.

"I suddenly remembered that Madara is a fake. Maybe the fake is also a fake. If this is the case, compared to Uchiha Madara, I might as well call out Senju Hashirama. Senju Hashirama is obviously stronger. I have Hashirama's cells, and I can definitely succeed." Orochimaru's eyes flashed.

Black-Zetsu's voice was still indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations. "If you can't even control Uchiha Madara, then it is even more impossible to control Senju Hashirama. If you go past Uchiha Madara and directly summon Senju Hashirama, you will probably be beaten to death on the spot." 

"Ah, you're right."

Orochimaru sneered: "Yes, I will resurrect Uchiha Madara according to what you said, but I need your eyes. Even if you don't have Rinnegan, you are still an extremely powerful individual." 

Orochimaru actually did not understand what Black-Zetsu was.

"Is it the special White Zetsu? But it seems that Black-Zetsu can control White Zetsu's movements. How did this order of superior and subordinate level be established?"

Orochimaru was a little curious, but to tell the truth, he was not very interested.

"... You coveted Rinnegan. What a big appetite. Let's talk about it when you can control the legendary ninja Uchiha Madara."

Black-Zetsu said indifferently, "Moreover, don't put yourself in a disadvantageous position. Even if I didn't come, you would have tried to revive Uchiha Madara sooner or later. As a legendary Ninja who suppressed an era, his strength is outstanding, and he has countless secrets. Are you willing to give up?"

"Give me some time. If I want to control a ninja like Uchiha Madara who surpasses Kage level, I need to perfect the technique of Edo Tensei." Orochimaru said.

Black-Zetsu nodded and slowly merged into the wall.

Orochimaru knew that Black-Zetsu definitely hadn't left. Instead, he was patrolling the vicinity and watching him.

"Obito claimed that he was Madara, and Nagato had put him in an important position. Black-Zetsu had also been by Obito's side for a long time. Could it be that the two of them had been in contact with Madara for a long time? But the time was not right. If Madara lived to the period of the Three Battles, who knows how old he would be."

Orochimaru sat in his seat and silently pondered.

After a long time, he took out a large scroll and immediately opened it, beginning to perfect the Edo Tensei.

The current tactic could only control the second generation of the Hokage - Kage level, who was at the ceiling level, and was also very dangerous. If he was careless, he would be freed from the control of the second generation.

If he wanted to control beyond Kage level...

"Hmph, it really is a challenging task." Orochimaru was extremely excited, and he tried his best to carry out research and development.

Black-Zetsu waited outside Orochimaru's base.

"I hope this guy won't let me down. When Madara comes back to life and sees me with Rinnegan, he will immediately realize that there is something wrong with his plan..."

Black-Zetsu tried to figure out Madara's thoughts, hoping that Orochimaru would be able to revive Madara as soon as possible.

...

Konohagakure.

Chunin exam was in full swing.

The entire village fell into a fanatical atmosphere. Coupled with the continuous arrival of villagers from other villages, it further stimulated this kind of restlessness.

Every person who showed great talent received attention.

"The first exam is done. It is said that it is not a traditional written test, but a direct examination of intelligence gathering?"

"Tsk, give each team a little clue and let them gather information in different fields to restore the content. This kind of exam method is very interesting."

"There are many geniuses in this batch. Other than the people of our village, Guren, Gaara, and others in other villages are also very outstanding. It seems that there are people from the Eye Organization?"

"What? The eye organization also sent people to participate in this kind of exam Aren't they an organization? They are all strong, where did they get the Genin?"

"I don't know, but these three Genin are very strong."

When the eye organization was mentioned, some people had strange expressions on their faces.

Such a powerful organization sent Genin to participate in the exam? This kind of operation was caught off guard.

Moreover, the three so-called Genin, how to put it, it was a little complicated.

The little kid leading the group was undoubtedly a teenager, and he fit the identity of Genin. The other two... no matter how you looked at it, although they was wearing a mask, no matter how you looked at it, they was still an adult, right ?!

It was not to the extent that both of them had matured early?

However, no one would take this kind of detail seriously, because in this examination, even if they really sent Genin, they would not be able to get first place.

There were too many genius experts.

In a heated discussion, the second survival exam began.

Everyone's position would be disrupted, and every team would not have a chance to gather together from the beginning.

If they wanted to continue forming teams, they would have to spend some effort in the huge forest.

Some people guessed that this was to take care of the single participating examinees.

The fellow who was secretly stirring up trouble also moved at this time, coldly watching this incomparably lively village.

"Once you succeed, immediately leave. Doing this will definitely not be a problem." Urashiki hid in the distance and looked out.

He had come for the sake of the powerful eyes. He could accept Mangekyou Sharingan, Jougan, or Tenseigan.

If it was just for the ordinary Sharingan or Byakugan, he did not need to do this at all.

After all, if he found a reincarnation vessel on the spot, he would be able to obtain a new healthy Byakugan. There was no need to take such a risk.

As time went on, a large number of examinees split up to act. Some of the examinees had already started fighting, and there were casualties.

Urashiki quietly moved.

He first found Gaara.

"Are you going to move?" Gaara looked at Urashiki coldly.

The two subordinates of Suna ninja behind him immediately lowered their heads respectfully.

He threw out his fishing rod and fished out a portion of Shukaku's chakra from Gaara.

"That damned thing from Otsutsuki's family, he actually dared to steal my chakra!"

In the sealed space, Shukaku almost went berserk and crazily shouted.

"Shut up. If you really had the strength, you would have broken the seal and killed him long ago. There is no need for you to blindly cry out here." Gaara said slowly with a hint of cruelty.

Seeing such a strong person like Urashiki, the killing intent in his heart continued to rise.

Killing such a person would definitely prove the value of his existence.

"You want to attack me? Unfortunately, you are no match for me." Urashiki revealed a sinister smile. He took Shukaku's chakra into the space tunnel and disappeared.

In the next moment, he walked out of the space tunnel.

"Next, I have to find Hinata. Let's see if this Princess Byakugan's eyes can be used."

As for the bird mark in the cage, Urashiki did not take it to heart. He did not understand the technique of sealing, but he had the ability to penetrate the seal.

In the original timeline, when Urashiki attacked Naruto, he could use his hand to forcibly break through the eight trigrams seal and forcibly take away a portion of Kyuubi's chakra.

Just as Urashiki was looking for an opportunity to attack.

A feeling of being spied on welled up in his heart.

"Hmm? I hid myself with such a small heart, and I was actually seen. Whose Byakugan has such a vision?"

Urashiki's interest was piqued. He used the Rinnegan in his forehead and stared at someone.

"This kind of unusual eyes... Hyuga Hoheto?" Urashiki spoke word by word. His face was ferocious and excited.

Moreover, there was also a Karma of Otsutsuki clan on his body, and the key was that it gave him a familiar feeling... Was it Otsutsuki Toneri?
