Chapter 279: Black Zetsu: Indra's Reincarnates Are Still So Easy to Fool
With that one slash from Uchiha Douhuan, Black Zetsu was left trembling in fear.
The calm and wise impression that Uchiha Douhuan had long left on Black Zetsu had made him momentarily forget the fact that this was a lunatic born in the Uchiha clan.
Moreover, Uchiha Douhuan's performance of going mad at the drop of a hat also made him realize something: a lunatic who doesn't usually show their true colors is often more terrifying when they do go mad, because they have been suppressing their emotions in their daily lives. Once these suppressed emotions erupt, they are bound to become more terrifying than those lunatics who go mad every day.
"Douhuan... calm down... we'll continue... we'll continue the Eye of the Moon Plan..." Black Zetsu said, his voice trembling.
At this time, Uchiha Douhuan showed a smile again, but this smile, in Black Zetsu's eyes, was a bit twisted, "That's good. Ancestor, we have put so much effort into the Eye of the Moon Plan. How can we give up halfway?"
"You're right..." Black Zetsu said with a somewhat forced smile.
"Ancestor, however, we must also guard against those enemies. So, in order to speed up the process of our Eye of the Moon Plan, you should hand over all the arrangements you have made in the ninja world over the years. We will accomplish our great Eye of the Moon Plan in one fell swoop!"
"Okay... Douhuan, let me think about it." Black Zetsu just wanted to get rid of Uchiha Douhuan quickly at this moment, so he nodded hastily. "You also know that I have lived for a very long time. Although I have made some arrangements in the ninja world, because of the long passage of time, I have also forgotten many things."
"Alright," Uchiha Douhuan nodded. "Then Ancestor, you must remember quickly. After all, with a great enemy before us, time waits for no one!"
After speaking, Uchiha Douhuan sheathed his sword, turned around, and left the shrine.
"Phew~" Only then did Black Zetsu let out a long sigh of relief.
...
After Uchiha Douhuan left the shrine, the look of madness on his face disappeared in almost an instant, and his expression also became calm. He walked quickly towards the Hokage's office.
This old fellow Black Zetsu, ever since he had seen him get his hands on nearly half of the Tailed Beasts, had not made any moves in recent years. It felt as if he had completely given up and was pinning all his hopes on him. So, Uchiha Douhuan had come this time precisely to put some pressure on him, to make him spit out some of the good things he had accumulated over the years.
After returning to the Hokage's office, Uchiha Douhuan saw Neji, who had been waiting there for a long time.
"You're back?" Uchiha Douhuan nodded.
"Yes, the mission was successfully completed. Hinata has already taken Hanabi to see Lady Tsunade for treatment," Neji said. "However, I still need you, Teacher, to make a trip to the moon with me. There is something that needs you to seal it. Sasuke's and my sealing jutsu can't seal such a target."
"Okay, first tell me in detail what happened on the mission," Uchiha Douhuan said.
Neji nodded upon hearing this, and then began to report the details of this mission, including his Tenseigan.
Uchiha Douhuan looked at the pair of azure-blue Tenseigan in Neji's eyes and smiled slightly, "You're quite lucky. In this way, you won't be left too far behind by those two in the future, hmm?"
Uchiha Douhuan's brow furrowed, because he could feel that the dōjutsu in Neji's Tenseigan was slowly draining away.
"Teacher, don't worry," Neji seemed to have seen Uchiha Douhuan's concern and explained. "My current Tenseigan dōjutsu is a gift from my ancestor, but it is not my own in the end. So it won't be long before it should degenerate back into an ordinary Byakugan. However, I can also feel that the seed of the Tenseigan's evolution has been left in my Byakugan. It won't be long before I should be able to have a Tenseigan that truly belongs to me."
"It's good that you have a plan," Uchiha Douhuan nodded. Then, from the direction of the Valley of the End, a loud bang resounded through the entire village.
"What happened?" Uchiha Douhuan came to the window and looked in the direction of the explosion.
"Probably... because those two started fighting," Neji shrugged.
"Those two went to the Valley of the End again?" Uchiha Douhuan asked.
"It should be. They were running in that direction at the time," Neji said.
"Can't those two little bastards find another place to wreak havoc? The last time they just finished demolishing that place, the statues of the First Hokage and Lord Madara cost the village a lot of money to repair!" Uchiha Douhuan cursed.
"Then... Teacher, should we go and stop them now?" Neji asked.
"Forget it. Let's go and seal that big Tenseigan you mentioned first. We'll go and pick them up after we come back," Uchiha Douhuan said.
"Okay," Neji nodded, re-entered Tenseigan Chakra Mode, and then took Uchiha Douhuan and flew towards the moon.
That night, on Mount Myoboku.
With a flash of space-time fluctuation from a Reverse Summoning Technique, a bruised and swollen Naruto limped back to Mount Myoboku.
"Naruto? You're back?" Jiraiya, upon seeing this, hurriedly put down the things in his hand. "Was the enemy this time that strong? To be able to beat you up like this?"
"Who is it? I'll go kill him for you," Gaara also came over at this time. Seeing Naruto injured like this, this child was also instantly enraged.
"It's fine, the enemy is in a worse state than me!" Naruto waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a smile. However, his casual smile pulled at the wounds on his face, and he immediately grimaced.
"Are you really okay? Naruto?" Jiraiya asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
"I'm really fine! I won!" Naruto insisted.
At the same time, Sasuke also limped back home.
"Sasuke?" Mikoto at home, upon hearing the noise, hurried over and saw the miserable state of her son with the left half of his face swollen. She hurriedly used her chakra to check Sasuke's body.
Soon, Mikoto discovered that all of Sasuke's injuries were superficial. And it seemed the other party was aiming entirely for his face. She had dealt with this kind of wound countless times since he was a child. It was just that this time it looked a bit scarier.
"Is Naruto back?" Mikoto said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"No," Sasuke pouted. "If that guy hadn't run so fast, I could have broken his legs and dragged him back to the village."
"Sigh, I don't know what that child is thinking," upon hearing this, Mikoto also shook her head helplessly.
...
After Mikoto helped Sasuke treat his wounds, Sasuke planned to rest directly in his room.
However, not long after he lay down, a voice sounded in his ear, "Descendant of Uchiha, I need your help. Come to the clan's shrine by the Naka River."
Sasuke's eyes snapped open. He activated his Eternal eyes, and his right hand directly reached for Shiden, which was placed not far from his bed.
...
At this moment, Black Zetsu, who had long since drilled into the ground, patted his chest with lingering fear. He was almost discovered. The talent of this generation's Indra chakra reincarnation was too good. He had awakened the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan before he was even 15.
[However, having talent is a good thing. Only with talent can he stop that lunatic Uchiha Douhuan!] After returning to the Naka River Shrine, Black Zetsu thought to himself. [I must stop Uchiha Douhuan from activating the Eye of the Moon Plan, otherwise Mother will be in danger.]
[Also, it's time to cultivate another batch of White Zetsu. All the previous White Zetsu were taken away by that lunatic Uchiha Douhuan to carry out his plan. Otherwise, why would I have to risk coming here personally to do this kind of thing.]
After waiting for a while, Sasuke, with Shiden at his waist, slowly stepped into this place.
At this time, Black Zetsu took a deep breath and slowly condensed his form in front of the stone monument that had a corner cut off by Uchiha Douhuan.
"You've come, descendant of Uchiha," Black Zetsu said, lowering his voice.
In the next second, a cold glint flashed past, and a long sword wreathed in purple lightning was at his neck.
"Calm down, descendant of Uchiha," Black Zetsu said hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Who are you? Why are you in the family's shrine?" Sasuke asked with a cold face.
"I am the original source of your Uchiha clan's bloodline, the son of the Sage of Six Paths, the will incarnation of Indra," Black Zetsu glanced at the sword at his neck and said hurriedly. He had no doubt that if he had spoken a little slower, this sword would probably have fallen on him without hesitation.
"The ancestor's will?" Sasuke sneered, and the long sword in his hand suddenly flared with lightning. "Playing tricks and daring to desecrate the ancestor of my Uchiha clan. I think you've lived long enough."
"I really am the will left behind by your ancestor before he died," Black Zetsu said. "If you don't believe me, you might as well take a look at this stone monument."
"What's so good about this stone monument?" Sasuke sneered. "I have to look at it several times during the annual rituals."
"The symbol of the Uchiha clan is our Sharingan. So, ordinary eyes naturally cannot see through this stone monument," Black Zetsu said. "And every time our clan's eyes advance a step further, the more we can see through the truth on this stone monument."
"So?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"So, look at this stone monument with your Eternal eyes," Black Zetsu said.
"Is that so?" Sasuke's eyes closed. When he opened them again, they were already in the state of the Eternal eyes.
"The Eye of the Moon? Infinite Tsukuyomi? What is this?" Sasuke frowned after reading the content on the stone monument.
"This is a forbidden jutsu left behind by my enemies from beyond the heavens, the Ōtsutsuki clan. This jutsu can use the moon to plunge everyone in the entire ninja world into an eternal genjutsu world," Black Zetsu said.
"The Ōtsutsuki clan?" Sasuke's gaze turned cold upon hearing this. The guy they had met on the moon, didn't he call himself Ōtsutsuki Toneri?
"Yes, this is a naturally evil clan. They have wanted to destroy the ninja world since ancient times. Back then, after my main body defeated them, they left this in the ninja world, wanting to attract ambitious people in the ninja world to inherit the things they failed to do."
"And in order to stop him, my main body established the Uchiha clan around this stone monument. And before he died, he separated me out to be the guardian of this stone monument, precisely so that this jutsu would not fall into the hands of others."
"Then why did you come to me, ancestor?" Sasuke put away Shiden and asked.
Black Zetsu, seeing that Sasuke had slightly let down his guard, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Now, someone has already learned of this plan and intends to put it into practice. That's why I have appeared, because I need you to stop him."
"Who?" Sasuke frowned.
"Your teacher, Uchiha Douhuan," Black Zetsu took a deep breath and then said. "He discovered the content on this stone monument by chance and intends to rely on the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create a false peace."
"Teacher?" Sasuke's gaze flickered upon hearing this.
"Yes, this is why your teacher is so keen on collecting Tailed Beasts in the ninja world," Black Zetsu pressed on. "Your teacher has gone astray. And you, as a descendant of the Uchiha clan, must stop him. This is the mission of our clan!"
Sasuke fell into silence upon hearing this. The special tomoe of his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan slowly rotated in his eyes.
As for the words of this black thing in front of him, he didn't believe a word.
For no other reason than that the ninjutsu of using the moon as a medium to plunge everyone in the entire ninja world into an eternal genjutsu world—was this something his teacher, whose genjutsu level was worse than a kid who had studied in the clan's school for a few days, could do?
[So, this guy is trying to drive a wedge between me and Teacher. What does he want to do? And this guy actually knows the secrets of our Uchiha clan so well. The identity of this guy who claims to be the will of the Uchiha ancestor is also very suspicious.]
As for the other's claim of being the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke would not believe a single word. If it were really his ancestor who had something to tell him, he would probably have told him directly when he was still at home. After all, their clan had not produced many such sneaky fellows in its thousands of years of inheritance.
[However, in order to figure out this guy's identity and purpose, then I'll play along with him.] Sasuke glanced at Black Zetsu, a smile flashing across the corner of his mouth. Then, Sasuke's expression changed, and he said with righteous indignation:
"What? My teacher, he's actually plotting such a conspiracy? Ancestor, rest assured, I will stop him! Even if I have to risk my life! I will absolutely not sit by and watch the people of the ninja world fall into the false peace of a genjutsu world! That is not true peace at all!"
Sasuke's words instantly made Black Zetsu want to cry with joy. Indra's chakra reincarnates are so easy to fool!
...
Just as Black Zetsu was congratulating himself on having fooled Sasuke, in Uchiha Douhuan's courtyard, a figure suddenly drilled out from the ground behind Uchiha Douhuan, who was idly shooting a pot of arrows and preparing to take a bath and rest.
After Uchiha Douhuan turned around, he saw Tobi, who immediately stood at attention and saluted after emerging from the ground.
"Lord Douhuan! Loyalty!"
"Loyalty!" After Uchiha Douhuan returned the salute, he asked with some confusion, "Tobi, what brings you here so late?"
"Lord Douhuan! Black Zetsu... is not loyal!"
