Chapter 154, Black Zetsu Appears!

That night, the moonlight poured down.

Under the ground that looked somewhat embarrassed due to various Ninjutsu destructions, a figure slowly emerged.

Looking at the scene of devastation in front of him, Zetsu fell into thought.

Being with Uchiha Madara all the time, Zetsu felt somewhat oppressed.

After all, in front of Madara, Zetsu could only play the role he had set for himself at the beginning.

So sometimes, Zetsu wanted to find a place with no one to empty his mind.

Especially when he collected some information that could affect his subsequent plans, Zetsu would come out, breathe some fresh air, and think about what to do next.

Senjutsu, huh...

What a powerful force...

So that's what the little guy from the Uchiha family was doing for those three years, practicing Senjutsu?

Was it with that disgusting frog or with the other two pieces of trash?

A bunch of annoying frogs...

If it weren't for them, mom wouldn't have been sealed on the moon.

Thinking of this, Zetsu looked up at the round moon on the horizon.

Mom must be very lonely now, right?

Actually, since the end of the Chunin exam, when the name of Raijin, the Thunder Sword Saint of Konohagakure, was made known, Zetsu had noticed Raijin.

After all, a strong person from the Uchiha clan, especially an Uchiha who was recognized by Senju Tobirama, absolutely cannot be allowed to develop.

What Zetsu wants is for both Senju and Uchiha to fall, because in such a family, the possibility of a strong person being born is too great.

Although it's hard to have a strong person like Madara or Hashirama.

But like Uchiha Raijin, a ninja who, although he hasn't opened the Eternal Mangekyou, has mastered Senjutsu, although he doesn't have a powerful Sage body, he has opened the Three Tomoe.

Even Zetsu is not sure that Raijin's future will not open the Mangekyou or even the Eternal Mangekyou...

So, Zetsu will absolutely not allow such a strong person to grow.

Otherwise, his subsequent plans will suffer a devastating blow.

"Sigh..."

Zetsu sighed somewhat helplessly, it seems that war... it's time to break out.

Originally, he wanted each village to develop for a while before triggering a war, after all, the stronger the contestants, the more ninjas will die in the war.

After the war, the overall level of the ninja world will also be suppressed.

At that time, it will be easier to carry out his plans.

But now he can't drag on any longer, if he continues to let Konohagakure develop like this, even if the whole ninja world is against Konohagakure, Konohagakure can easily win.

Zetsu is too clear about the importance of a strong person to war.

He hopes that this war can solve Uchiha Raijin, if not, maybe he can only activate Uchiha Madara.

Let Madara eliminate all unstable factors before he dies.

The figure slowly sank into the ground, and Zetsu's figure disappeared on the spot.

Having been in the ninja world for so many years, witnessing so many things, Zetsu is too familiar with how to trigger a war, and even how to fool Indra and his reincarnations.

Nothing else, just practice...

...

"Grandma Mito."

Coming to the Senju house with Senju Tobirama, Raijin greeted Uzumaki Mito, who was drinking tea.

"Raijin is here? Sit."

Uzumaki Mito saw Raijin and put down her teacup, saying to Raijin.

"Okay."

Raijin nodded in response, and Tsunade stood up directly and poured Raijin a cup of tea.

"Haven't you eaten yet?"

Tsunade's face was full of sweet smiles, so sweet that Raijin swallowed subconsciously.

"Uh... I'm not hungry."

Raijin pursed his lips, speaking to Tsunade in front of him.

"How can you not eat? With an empty stomach, you won't last through the night."

Hearing this, Tsunade's smile became even sweeter. She straightened out the wrinkles on Raijin's clothes and then turned to leave the room.

Raijin watched Tsunade's back as she walked into the kitchen, sipping his tea with a bitter smile.

Looking up at the bright moon outside the window, Raijin felt a tasteless sensation in his mouth.

Tonight... is destined to be a sleepless night...

"I now believe you're even more determined than I am to develop a permanent Senjutsu."

Senju Tobirama poured himself a cup of tea, pulled up a chair, and sat down, speaking to Raijin.

"Who knows if researching permanent Senjutsu will be of any use?"

Raijin responded with a wry smile and a hint of melancholy.

"But it could always alleviate your current situation, couldn't it?"

Senju Tobirama replied with a light chuckle, feeling reassured to see Tsunade taking the upper hand in their relationship.

"You're absolutely right."

Raijin nodded in agreement, pursing his lips.

"Tell me about what happened after you left."

Senju Tobirama's smile faded as he asked Raijin.

"Well, after I went there..."

Raijin recounted the events that transpired after his departure to Senju Tobirama.

"That's a bit of a relief."

Senju Tobirama nodded, his heart slightly eased.

As for that demon...

Honestly, if that demon were still alive, Senju Tobirama might be more interested, but now that it's dead, it doesn't matter anymore.

"Come, let's eat."

At that moment, Tsunade approached Raijin with a large bowl.

A big bowl full of ribs, garnished with just the right amount of goji berries, was placed on the table beside Raijin.

"There's more to come."

Tsunade didn't wait for Raijin to speak and went straight back into the kitchen.

Soon, a large bowl of steamed oysters and a small bowl of okra were brought over by Tsunade.

This...

"Pfft~"

Senju Tobirama couldn't help but burst into laughter, and Tsunade looked over.

Senju Tobirama composed himself and said to Tsunade.

"Just before coming back, Raijin told me he hoped you could rest at home tonight."

Huh???!

Raijin was taken aback, looking at Senju Tobirama in surprise, who deliberately turned his head away, avoiding eye contact with Raijin.

"Does Raijin want to stay here tonight and sleep with grandma and grandpa?"

Tsunade blinked and turned to ask Raijin.

"Ah..."

Raijin opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by Senju Tobirama.

"You two should go back to your place to rest. Your grandmother and I are old and prefer the quiet."

"Alright."

Tsunade nodded and continued speaking to Raijin.

"Then eat up, Raijin. We should also go back to rest after you finish. You must be tired after the battle, right?"
