Chapter 579: Madara Uchiha and the Rinnegan
"Robber! Bandit!" Zetsu was so angry he nearly fainted.
He had lived for over a thousand years, and unless it involved his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, nothing could move him anymore. But this time...
The moment the Togetsukyō opened, he immediately recognized the information on the other side. It was one of Mother's six dimensions, a space that Mother had forcibly created and slowly refined with her supreme power.
Now that Mother was sealed by those two rebellious sons, Zetsu had never imagined that even Mother's space would be taken over by an outsider.
He had lived for so long that he knew about the dark history of the Yamanaka clan's ancestors being mountain bandits.
He hadn't paid it any mind before. What was there to care about mortals who lived and died in a day? Now he was about to be angered to death by Ino! Has your family written robbery into your genes, turning it into a kekkei genkai?
Zetsu knew Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's six dimensions very well, and he also knew Obito's abilities very well. He didn't need any meticulous logical analysis to know that without external help, there was a ninety-nine percent chance that Obito would be trapped and die in his own Kamui dimension.
Without water, without food, how many days could he live?
A ninja who was good at using spatial abilities ended up dying in a space. It had to be said, it was very ironic.
He wasn't angry at Obito. This pawn's performance was indeed too poor. He had never had much hope for Obito anyway. In any case, he still had the trump card of Madara Uchiha. He hadn't lost yet.
He was angry at Ino.
A living bandit, a robber who even stole space!
But a wise man knows when to retreat. Zetsu had no combat ability. Before Ino could come out, he had already run far away.
The Six Ninja Swordsmen, who had lost their Rinnegan control, ran even faster than him. Kabuto directly canceled the summoning, and the six of them had long since disappeared in a puff of white smoke.
The more Zetsu thought about it, the angrier he got. Ino using the acid space to deal with Obito was an absolute desecration to him!
Unable to contain his anger, he found a wild boar in the forest and, without a word, rushed over and gave it a good beating!
The wild boar: "???"
Zetsu was indeed not good at fighting, but it depended on who he was compared to.
The wild boar squealed as he beat it. After a long time, Zetsu finally vented the anger in his heart.
Suddenly, he heard Madara Uchiha's voice ring out beside his ear.
"What are you doing?"
Madara had actually been there for a while. He had his arms crossed, just watching Zetsu beat up a wild boar in the forest. He waited quietly, but Zetsu hadn't even noticed his arrival. He found this a bit incredible. Zetsu's sensory ability was extremely strong. There was only one reason he hadn't noticed him: his mind was in chaos.
Looking at the dead wild boar he had beaten, Zetsu also felt that his performance had revealed some information. He quickly collected his scattered thoughts.
He skillfully changed the subject. "I'm angry because of Obito. That guy is just too useless. His true identity was exposed, and then... and then he was trapped in a different dimension."
Madara frowned tightly. Obito's life or death was irrelevant, but what about his Rinnegan?
He grasped the key point. "A different dimension? Whose different dimension?"
Whose space? Of course, it's Mother's space! Unfortunately, he couldn't tell Madara this.
He really wanted to make up a story to brush it off, but he knew even better that one lie required countless lies to cover it up, and Madara was not as easy to fool as Obito.
He could only grit his teeth. "...It's Ino Yamanaka's different dimension. She has awakened the Rinnegan and also has one of the Six Paths' treasured tools, the Benihisago."
Zetsu looked at Madara's face, thinking that Madara had not been revived for long and his body was very healthy. He wouldn't have any problems with a cerebral hemorrhage. Only then did he say, "Obito also raised a question. The other party said that awakening the Rinnegan is very simple, that... that it's just a foundation."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Madara's reaction at this moment was no different from Obito's before.
What the hell? A random passerby can awaken the Rinnegan? Then what's the point of me faking my death, hiding my name for decades, forgetting to eat and sleep, and pouring my heart and soul into it? My whole life hasn't been lived in vain, has it?
Foundation? Foundation my ass!
It took me a whole lifetime to awaken the Rinnegan, and now a half-grown kid is telling me it's a foundation?
"How can the Yamanaka clan have the blood of the Uchiha clan?" he asked with an extremely ugly expression.
Zetsu rolled his eyes. You ask me, who do I ask? I'm not your Uchiha clan's nanny.
Madara racked his brain. He had been the head of the Uchiha clan, after all, and he knew some of the clan's past.
He vaguely remembered that during the Warring States period, the daughter of a certain Uchiha clan head had indeed been abducted by the Yamanaka clan's mountain bandits, and this daughter had never appeared again.
The Warring States period was an era of utter chaos.
The old saying goes, "Don't pursue a cornered foe." And mountain bandits were a profession synonymous with poverty.
As a major landlord, the Uchiha clan would basically not go to great lengths to exterminate mountain bandits. If they lost, it was embarrassing. If they won, there was no profit!
In that era, the birth rate was high. It was normal for a couple to have four or five sons and seven or eight daughters. One daughter was not that important. If she was lost, she was lost!
The Uchiha had been fighting a life-or-death struggle with the Senju. Unless their core interests were damaged, they were unwilling to provoke the Yamanaka clan, which had held the title of Mountain Bandit King for generations.
Was it the Uchiha bloodline left behind from that time?
He pondered for a while.
Should I have someone spread the news that Ino Yamanaka has awakened the Rinnegan?
He quickly shook his head.
Our reputation is so bad that it's no exaggeration to say that everyone wants to beat us up. We have too little say. If we say it, no one will believe it. Besides, let alone outsiders, even Madara himself didn't quite believe it now. He thought Zetsu had seen it wrong, or that it was a genjutsu or something.
He asked, "Can we open a spatial passage from the outside and rescue Obito?"
Zetsu shook his head in frustration.
Madara had been dead for over ten years and was not very familiar with the current ninja world. He asked, "Is there no one with similar space-time abilities today?"
Mother can definitely open the gate to the acid dimension, but if she broke the seal, would I still be here chatting with you?
Zetsu didn't say anything, but the implication was that Obito was done for.
The original plan was to completely squeeze out Obito's value and let him attract fire in the front. Now that this guy was gone, Madara had to take the stage himself.
"Forget it, just a pawn. Give me the thing." He held out a hand. Zetsu didn't hesitate and handed him the right Rinnegan taken from Nagato's body.
Madara gouged out his original Mangekyo Sharingan's right eye, threw it away like trash, and then replaced it with his own Rinnegan.
The Hashirama cells took effect, and the wound quickly stopped bleeding. This was originally his eye, and the chakra pathways connected without any delay. When he opened his right eye, something called fighting spirit rose in the light purple Rinnegan.
