Chapter 136: Bringing Pain to the Moon
"You'd better know your limits!" Zetsu warned. "If he wants to cause trouble, all he has to do is tell Nagato our intelligence, and we'll be the ones suffering!"
"That's exactly why we should take the Rinnegan back from Nagato sooner!" Obito growled. "I've told you before—the stronger Nagato becomes, the harder he is to control. What exactly are you still hesitating about?"
"While he still trusts us, we should find an opportunity to ambush him directly and take him out in one strike, retrieving the Rinnegan."
"With the Rinnegan, anything Nagato can do, I can do too—and I'll do it better."
Watching Obito's fervent expression, Zetsu silently looked away.
It's precisely because you're always so emotional, always letting your feelings take over, acting recklessly without thinking things through—that's why I can't entrust you with this critical responsibility!
If you had even half of Nagato's rationality, I would have already dug out Madara's Rinnegan for you to use.
Sigh. The dead last will always be the dead last!
Though he complained internally, necessary placation was still required.
"Obito, we can't rush this. We need to find the right opportunity."
"Right now we haven't even seen a shadow of the Ten-Tails yet. We have plenty of time to plan carefully."
"Don't worry. When I find the opportunity, I'll call on you."
After finally placating Obito and sending him away, Zetsu turned around to find Yasushi.
"Congratulations, Yasushi. You've finally revived your brother."
"Haha..." Yasushi was radiant at this moment, his entire mental state transformed. "I need to thank you too, Zetsu. Without your help, this might not have been so easy."
"We're comrades. We should help each other." Zetsu smiled warmly. "Now, can you tell me the relevant intelligence about Otsutsuki Hamura?"
"Oh, of course." Yasushi also smiled. "Otsutsuki Hamura and his descendants have always been stationed on the moon, serving as jailers."
"During the Uchiha massacre night in Konoha, Hamura's descendants appeared and abducted Hyuga Hiashi, the Hyuga clan head. They also took Hiashi's second daughter, Hyuga Hanabi."
"For specific details, you can ask Orochimaru. He was an eyewitness to the incident."
"Jailers..." Upon hearing this word, Zetsu's expression immediately darkened, his heart filled with rage.
He clenched his fists tightly, eyes flickering as he began contemplating how to eliminate this bastard older brother.
Noticing Zetsu's thoughts, Yasushi helpfully added from the side:
"Don't say I didn't warn you—there's a massive Tenseigan on the moon with catastrophic destructive power. It could easily slice the moon in half."
"What you need to consider now isn't how to eliminate the Otsutsuki Hamura clan on the moon, but rather whether they'll discover your whereabouts and send someone down to eliminate you."
"What?!" Zetsu was shocked, his entire demeanor changing.
Yasushi didn't tell Zetsu that no one could currently use the massive Tenseigan properly. Instead, he continued frightening him:
"That's just the power on Otsutsuki Hamura's side. Otsutsuki Hagoromo's side is even more terrifying."
"Otsutsuki Hagoromo has been hiding in the shinobi world for a thousand years, secretly establishing a terrifying organization called 'Kara,' closely monitoring the shinobi world's movements."
"This organization is extremely secretive—even the Five Great Nations haven't detected its existence."
"Zetsu, have you ever noticed it?"
"This organization?" Zetsu paused, thinking carefully, but found the name completely unfamiliar. He'd never heard of it.
He frowned, questioning, "Are you certain such an organization exists?"
"Wherever one treads, traces remain. I've been in the shinobi world for a thousand years. What place haven't I visited? How could I have never heard of this organization?"
"Haha..." Yasushi burst out laughing, continuing to frighten him. "That's exactly what makes Otsutsuki Hagoromo so terrifying!"
"Zetsu, guess why you can't detect this organization's existence?"
"Guess whether Otsutsuki Hagoromo knows about your existence?"
"Guess again why, the moment Kaguya was revived, Otsutsuki Hagoromo immediately appeared and sealed your mother away again?"
This barrage of questions left Zetsu's face ashen, completely led astray. Yasushi continued his deception:
"The Kara organization's first leader is named Jigen. He's already several thousand years old—the same age as you!"
"He's a monk who usually wears white haori, with a distinctive hook-shaped mark tattooed on his chin and the Roman numeral IV under his left eye."
"Why don't you investigate the shinobi world and see if such a person exists?"
"Then carefully research what this person has actually done."
"I'm sure once you investigate thoroughly, you'll be shocked by what you discover."
"Hahahaha..."
Yasushi had great confidence in Zetsu's intelligence-gathering abilities. He believed that with dedicated investigation, Zetsu would definitely uncover traces of the Kara organization.
And once he confirmed Jigen's existence and that the Kara organization was real, then everything Yasushi had fabricated earlier would immediately gain corroboration, easily earning complete belief.
At that point, the Kara organization would inevitably become inseparably linked to the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Just imagining Zetsu's shocked expression after discovering this information made Yasushi want to laugh maniacally.
As for the consequences this might trigger? Yasushi didn't care at all! I'll kill but not clean up the mess!
Watching Yasushi's wild laughter, Zetsu felt something was wrong but couldn't figure out what. He could only nod solemnly.
"I'll investigate thoroughly."
"Let's return to discussing Otsutsuki Hamura. Do you have any other useful intelligence to tell me?"
"Hmm..." Yasushi tilted his head, thinking for a moment before continuing. "Actually, there's also conflict between Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo."
"Otsutsuki Hamura's descendants want to destroy the shinobi world and purify existence."
"While Otsutsuki Hagoromo's descendants plan to rule the shinobi world and control everything."
"As far as I know, Otsutsuki Hamura's descendants have a plan to use the Tenseigan to propel the moon into a collision with the shinobi world, completely annihilating it."
"This is something absolutely no one in the shinobi world would allow."
"Guess what the Leader would do if he learned about this?"
After hearing this, Zetsu suddenly understood.
"Nagato wants world peace, to use military force to intimidate the nations and force them to stop warring. So this kind of evil act that would annihilate the shinobi world—Nagato absolutely cannot allow it."
"He would definitely bring pain to the moon as well, making the people there also feel pain, forcing them to obediently stop their terrorist attacks and embrace peace instead."
"If Otsutsuki Hamura doesn't agree, Nagato will mercilessly eliminate him!"
"If that clan dares resist, for the sake of peace and safety for everyone in the shinobi world, Nagato will definitely exterminate that entire clan!"
"Exactly! That's it!" Yasushi clapped enthusiastically. "Now you know what to do, right?"
"I understand. For the sake of the shinobi world's peace, we must bring pain to the moon!" Zetsu suddenly raised his fist, striking a passionate pose before turning and running outside.
