Spiral Zetsu: I Finally Got Promoted!

Inside a secret underground cave tens of kilometers away from the former Tetsukawa Fortress.

Spiral Zetsu carried Sasuke, dived underground, ran as fast as he could, and finally arrived at this small temporary base.

Of course, this wasn't the same place where Zetsu had previously performed the arm transplant for Kisame.

Given that Kisame had already betrayed them, the compromised base location could no longer be used.

After returning to the temporary base, Spiral Zetsu took out Sasuke and placed him on the operating table.

"Passed out from chakra exhaustion? Seriously, this Uchiha clan is a monster! His mental strength could even suppress my consciousness."

"And he was so rough forcibly taking my chakra, much rougher than Obito was back then!"

Spiral Zetsu looked at the unconscious Sasuke while grumbling mischievously.

Zetsu's mental control ability, although far below Black Zetsu's, was still quite strong.

But Sasuke could actually reverse the pressure on his consciousness, even control him along with it, this was even crazier than Obito was back then!

Luckily, Zetsu wasn't human. If an ordinary ninja had their chakra squeezed like that by Sasuke, they might have already died.

"But, Sasuke was successfully rescued. While Black Zetsu and his main body were killed by Itachi?"

"Unexpectedly, that Kisame also betrayed us!"

"Hah... these human ninjas who can poop are really unreliable."

"Obito was still the most reliable, unfortunately, he's also dead..."

Spiral Zetsu continued to complain softly.

Although he didn't see the process directly, he had already received news from other scout Zetsu about Black Zetsu's fate.

"Now that Black Zetsu is dead, Kisame betrayed us..."

"Does that mean the organization now only has me and Sasuke left?"

"This has become more troublesome!"

Even the usually unserious Spiral Zetsu felt gloomy.

Not because he regretted Black Zetsu's death.

In the eyes of all Zetsu, Black Zetsu was indeed the embodiment of Madara's will, but his status wasn't much higher than theirs.

They Zetsu were the result of the union of Madara and Hashirama!

If they died, they died; besides, many other Zetsu had also died.

But if their deaths were in vain and ruined the plan to revive Madara, that would be unforgivable!

"Ah well, they were all just self-righteous fools. Planning so hard, but the result was a mess."

"I should have joined forces with Obito back then and directly attacked all five great villages!"

Spiral Zetsu grumbled to himself.

He used to think that the cunning Black Zetsu had a well-thought-out plan, but now he had just become a fool.

He would be better off!

"Wait... If they're all dead. Does that mean in the remaining Zetsu army, I'm the leader now?"

Spiral Zetsu suddenly realized, then became excited.

The three special Zetsu: Main Zetsu, Pitcher Plant Zetsu seemed to be dead.

"That means I'm the boss now! I finally got promoted! Yosh! It seems the responsibility of reviving Madara-sama and reshaping the world now rests on my shoulders!"

"Just imagining it makes me excited! Without the command of that stupid Black Zetsu and Main Zetsu, I can fly around as I please!"

"I can even order other Zetsu to kidnap some living humans and research their pooping process!"

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Just when Spiral Zetsu was excited about his 'ambition'.

Another voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"You look very happy, does my death make you so joyful?"

Spiral Zetsu was shocked and hurriedly turned around to look behind him.

It turned out there was another Zetsu body that had silently entered the room, appearing behind him.

Wait...

This Zetsu was a bit different, why was its head black?

Like... like that damn Black Zetsu...

"You... you're not dead?!?"

"Why? Does my being alive surprise you?"

Black Zetsu retorted with a cunning voice.

That's right, he wasn't dead! More precisely, not completely dead!

Most of his body was indeed sealed by Totsuka no Tsurugi, but before that, Black Zetsu had already left a small part of his body behind, hiding it within this Zetsu body.

Mastering Yin-Yang Release, born from spiritual power, Black Zetsu could indeed transform himself into a liquid and separate form, like Orochimaru's small snake detachments.

And this cunning and cautious Black Zetsu, even though he was willing to take risks to save Sasuke, his own safety was still the top priority!

Of course, it was impossible to come without protection. So this small part of his body left behind was the last guarantee.

Although Black Zetsu didn't expect Kisame's betrayal, didn't expect Itachi's attack, he could still ensure he wasn't completely dead.

As long as he was alive, he could endure again!

Thousands of years had already passed, one or two failures were not a problem...

It was just that this failure, which was so close to success, was quite disappointing. But it didn't matter, when it came to true perseverance, compared to this devoted Black Zetsu, Obito was just a fragile child playing around.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"Damn you, even with your body separated, you didn't die? You deliberately left a part behind? You really are cunning!"

Seeing that only a small part of Black Zetsu remained on the head, Spiral Zetsu also couldn't help but grumble.

But this was the real deal!

This was in line with Black Zetsu's cunning.

'Unfortunately for me, I just got promoted, it looks like I'm going to be demoted again. My poop research plan has to be postponed again...'

"Stop talking nonsense, our situation is very dangerous now. Prepare to evacuate immediately, return to the main base at Mount Graveyard..."

Black Zetsu commanded coldly.

In this weakest state in history, his heart was filled with fear; every rustle of wind could scare him half to death.

He was afraid that the resurrected Itachi and the others would catch up.

Now he just wanted to escape from here, find a safe place to start planning again...

"But... Obito also lost to them, could the main base at Mount Graveyard also be exposed?"

"There's a possibility! In that case, tell the Zetsu there to evacuate immediately, make sure to bring out Itachi's Sharingan!"

"Understood."

"How is Sasuke's condition?"

Black Zetsu looked at Sasuke, who was still unconscious on the operating table; this was his beloved treasure that had almost cost him his life!

He had to pay attention!

Although this time their side suffered a crushing defeat, almost losing everything. But as long as they managed to recapture Sasuke, it didn't mean a total loss!

With Sasuke's current level of obsession and madness, he only needed a little guidance to easily deceive him into working for him, becoming a second pawn like Obito.

Later, after Sasuke transplanted Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan, obtaining the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, it wasn't necessarily impossible to fight against Itachi and the others!

It wasn't necessarily impossible to recapture the Rinnegan, revive Madara, and then realize the Eye of the Moon Plan...

'I haven't lost yet! Mother, I will definitely revive you!'

The resolute Black Zetsu swore in his heart.
