Chapter 12: From the Black Zetsu, Hatred (Ch 12)

Inside Konoha Village

Looking at the content on the sky screen, the Third Hokage took a puff of cigarette and said sadly: “At this point, the ninja coalition has already deployed all its strength, but their chances of winning are still unknown.”

The others nodded upon hearing this. Even the ultimate weapon, the tailed beasts, had already entered the battlefield, which showed that the ninja coalition had really tried their best and was determined to win the war at any cost.

But the third generation also had doubts in their hearts.

Why aren’t these people in the office, him, Minato, Fugaku, Orochimaru, and even Kushina, appearing on the sky screen?

With the intensity of the war on the sky, it was impossible for them to be absent.

Is it possible that none of the people present can live to see that period on the sky dome?

As soon as this thought came to mind, the Third Hokage immediately shook his head to deny it.

Let’s not talk about this old man for now. The remaining people present are all young people, and they all have considerable strength. It is impossible for them to all die at once.

The survival rate of their Konoha strongmen cannot be so low

“Kushina…Is she okay?”

Minato looked worried. The other eight tailed beasts had appeared on the sky, but the Nine-Tails had not appeared. This made him very worried about Kushina’s safety.

Everyone present had their own concerns.

Although Fugaku kept calm, he was thinking in his heart, why is there only one Uchiha Sasuke in their Uchiha clan? Where are the other Uchiha?

A war of this magnitude, a decisive battle that involved all the ninja world’s strengths! Was it normal that only one of their Uchiha clan members stepped onto the battlefield?

The three of them were all worried, but Orochimaru was more open-minded than them.

“It looks like that idiot Jiraiya is dead.”

Orochimaru’s expression was calm. He knew both himself and Jiraiya very well. If he didn’t appear on the sky screen, he might have been doing research underground and was late. But if Jiraiya didn’t appear, then Jiraiya must have died.

“Order the intelligence team to record everything that has appeared on the sky curtain. Don’t miss anything!” The Third Hokage gave the order in a deep voice.

The Anbu ninja who was waiting nearby took the order and left.

…

Akatsuki Base

“I haven’t even collected a single tailed beast?” Nagato felt very surprised and puzzled. With his current strength, he could snatch one or two tailed beasts from the five major countries even alone. How could he do nothing in the future?

“It seems I left nothing for that child”

Originally, Nagato thought that the tailed beast weapons were not enough to intimidate the ninja world, so he needed the secret treasure of the Six Paths Sage. Now it seems that the tailed beast weapon plan has completely failed.

“Nagato, maybe it was your future self who gave up on that plan.”

Xiao Nan quickly spoke up. She had never agreed with the plan proposed by Madara. She always felt that there was a big conspiracy behind Madara. Now that she saw that Nagato was willing to give in, she quickly persuaded Nagato to give up the plan.

“No! Even if the Tailed Beast Weapon Plan cannot succeed, we must seize the Tailed Beast!”

Nagato looked at the sky with a deep gaze.

“At least every time we snatch a tailed beast, the child will face less pressure.”

“This…” Xiao Nan was speechless. She looked at the sky, and at the scene of more than a dozen giant beasts confronting each other, and felt that what Nagato said made sense.

“Once the Six Paths of Pain are completed, we will immediately go to the Sand Village to snatch the One-Tail. I have a feeling that with the exposure of the Sky Curtain, the various ninja villages will be more strict in guarding the Jinchūriki in the future. If we don’t take advantage of this opportunity to quickly snatch back one or two tailed beasts, I’m afraid there will be no chance in the future.”

Nagato said with an unpleasant expression.

Xiaonan thought what Nagato said made sense, so she nodded and agreed.

“Okay, I’ll go with you then.”

…

Somewhere Underground

“Is this kid the new tool I’m looking for in the future, hehehehe?”

Hiding deep underground, Black Zetsu looked at Naruto’s pair of Samsara eyes on the sky and laughed strangely.

“What a great talent, he can actually use Madara’s eyes to that extent, even that brat Nagato can’t do it, I really want to find him immediately and trick him into becoming my tool.”

Black Zetsu sighed, it was a pity that according to the information collected by White Zetsu, there was no trace of the kid named Naruto in the ninja world at this time, which meant that he was most likely not born yet.

“What a shame… What went wrong with the plan to collect the tailed beasts? Why is there no progress even at that time in Tenmyou?”

“But that brat called Naruto is so strong, it shouldn’t be easy for him to collect the nine tailed beasts… No, it’s still not right! That brat’s goal seems to be to destroy the ninja world?! This… what’s wrong with this?”

Black Zetsu paced back and forth in the dark underground space, his mind racing between various possibilities.

Black Zetsu has complete confidence in his own deception skills. No matter whether it is someone who wants to save the ninja world or someone who has lost a loved one, under his deception skills, they will eventually be guided onto the broad road of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Naruto on the sky wants to destroy the ninja world. He is so violent and angry. Something must have happened to make him despair of, or even hate, the ninja world. Then, such a person can be fooled with his Black Zetsu’s magic method!

How could it fail?

No, no, think about it in a positive way, maybe his way of destroying the ninja world is to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to drain everyone’s chakra and kill them.

But this is not right. He did not collect the tailed beasts, which means that his goal is not Infinite Tsukuyomi, which is completely inconsistent with his own philosophy.

Black Zetsu thought hard but couldn’t find a reasonable reason.

But the next moment Black Zetsu thought of something, and his expression suddenly became even uglier.

“No, now is not the time to dwell on these things! If this Sky Curtain exposes my plan to save Mom, then won’t my plan ever be successful again?!”

Black Zetsu shuddered all over and a nameless anger surged in his heart.

It was obvious that he had already seen hope of saving his mother in this era, and he would succeed in a few decades at most.

But if Tianmu exposes all his plans, he will have to wait another 1,000 years!

During this period, he must constantly erase the history of this period and make the ninja world completely forget this memory, so that he can restart the plan to save his mother.

No, he could not endure it for so long even though he had already seen hope.

“We must find a way to completely destroy the Sky Curtain! I wonder if Obito’s Sharingan can pack the entire Sky Curtain into the Kamui Space? Why don’t we find a time to trick him and try.”

Black Zetsu thought so in his heart, and at this moment his hostility towards Tenmu reached its peak.

“After I rescue my mother, I will make her tear this sky curtain and the people behind it to pieces!”
