Alright, what else can it do?
It can only forgive Uchiha Madara!
"Lord Madara..."
There was a hint of delight in Black Zetsu's voice, and in a hoarse chuckle, he said, "Lord Madara, have you also sensed the strength of Uehara Naraku?
Uehara is the most diligent ninja I've ever seen, and I've always deceived him into believing he's striving for the Eye of the Moon Plan as a dedicated inheritor! Without enough power, you can't inherit the Eye of the Moon Plan and Lord Madara's will!"
"Inheritor?"
Uchiha Madara frowned and couldn't help but secretly continue asking Black Zetsu, "Inherit my will, what does that mean?"
"Actually, I've always been deceiving Uehara."
Now that Uchiha Madara is proactively willing to mend their relationship, Black Zetsu naturally wouldn't hide anything and immediately revealed all the lies he had told Uehara Naraku to Madara.
"Uehara Naraku is very easy to deceive. I just told him that the Six Paths Sage had passed down his will of peace for the Ninja World to Lord Madara, and before Lord Madara's death, he passed this will along with the Eye of the Moon Plan and Rinnegan to Nagato.
Uehara Naraku was raised and cared for by Nagato; he deems himself as the chosen child of destiny, the executor of the Eye of the Moon Plan, and Nagato's inheritor. That's why everything he does is in an effort to realize the Eye of the Moon Plan."
After saying this, Black Zetsu continued to explain, "There's no need to worry about Uehara Naraku's loyalty. I once monitored him for a long period without interruption. He's always been a very hardworking child.
It's just that after I told him about the Eye of the Moon Plan, he became a bit arrogant, thinking himself as the inheritor of destiny, which is eerily similar to Nagato.
Uehara Naraku views every ninja as a tool for achieving the purpose of the Eye of the Moon, except for us, the executors of the Eye of the Moon Plan; he doesn't care about anyone else."
All of this is true.
Because after Uchiha Obito's betrayal, Black Zetsu truly monitored Uehara Naraku himself, and he was certain that he was never discovered by Uehara Naraku.
During the time Black Zetsu was monitoring Uehara Naraku, he found that apart from diligently training, Uehara Naraku was daily immersing himself in the greatness of the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Black Zetsu finally confirmed one thing...
Uehara Naraku, much like Uchiha Madara, had finally been played by it.
These geniuses in the Ninja World, they all have something wrong in their heads.
Once someone tells them they are the choice of destiny and a god's inheritance, they truly believe they are destiny's choice...
Heh, just tools after all.
The only thing Black Zetsu couldn't quite accept was that Uehara Naraku had grown so much stronger than expected.
Sometimes Black Zetsu even doubted whether it was true, maybe Uehara was indeed the true successor of the Six Paths Sage, Uchiha Madara, and Nagato...
Black Zetsu found that providing geniuses with some destiny-based spiritual comfort soup boosted their diligence and speed of getting stronger to absurd levels.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Black Zetsu, Uchiha Madara even felt a bit of admiration for Uehara Naraku, "Is that so? I never imagined such a genius ninja could appear in the Ninja World after all these years, able to stand shoulder to shoulder with both me and Hashirama with sheer strength...
If he were born in the Warring States Period, perhaps I could have had much in common with him, perhaps even sharing the Eye of the Moon Plan."
They share the same pride.
They share the same goal.
They both possess extraordinarily powerful strength, and Uchiha Madara is not worried about losing temporarily to Uehara Naraku; he is currently a Reanimation body, not yet complete in power.
So what if he truly loses?
Would he die or what?
Back when Uchiha Madara lost to Senju Hashirama numerous times, he still kept fighting despite defeats; now he could be revived and live on even greater?
And what about that Senju Hashirama?
Besides the Hashirama Cells and a face that appeared everywhere, what does Senju Hashirama himself have left?
A momentary failure isn't frightening.
What is frightening is not being able to stand up after a failure.
"Anyway, I can't stop him anymore."
Uchiha Madara tilted his head, beginning to conspire with Black Zetsu again, "If you're telling the truth, then he might be a valuable talent; if you dare lie to me again, I'll solve you with Yin-Yang Release right now!"
"Lord Madara."
Black Zetsu shook his head and said in a deep voice, "I've never betrayed Lord Madara; the one who truly betrayed you is Uchiha Obito!
Lord Madara can try to control Uchiha Obito with Yin-Yang Release because it's due to that traitor Obito that our plan has reached this point!"
"Alright."
After recovering, Uchiha Madara held up his fingers!
Before his death, Uchiha Madara left a control spell and Chakra on Uchiha Obito, always governing Uchiha Obito's life and death and controlling his every move.
To his surprise, in the next moment, Uchiha Madara's facial expression changed.
Because after detonating the control spell and Chakra within Uchiha Obito's heart, he could feel the spell and Chakra restoring themselves.
"This feeling..."
Uchiha Madara slowly lowered his finger, hanging his head, "Black Zetsu, Uchiha Obito is a Reanimation body, he was already killed! It seems that Orochimaru is more troublesome than we imagined!"
"What?"
Black Zetsu immediately recalled something it had encountered, that being the complete betrayal of them by Uchiha Obito, who seemed to have collaborated with Orochimaru, though it appeared they had a major battle as well.
With a bit of shadowiness in its voice, Black Zetsu remarked, "I remember that Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru seemed to have collaborated... and anyone in the Ninja World working with Orochimaru never comes to a good end!"
Now, Uchiha Obito must have been killed by Orochimaru!
His body might even have been resurrected by Reanimation!
While Black Zetsu was still pondering, it seemed to sense something and immediately communicated with Uchiha Madara, "Lord Madara, let's quickly head over to Orochimaru's side, the Ten-Tails is already resuscitated and seems to be launching an attack in this direction!"
While transmitting information to Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu loudly shouted towards Uehara Naraku, "Uehara, be careful! The Ten-Tails is on a rampage, launching an attack on us!"
"..."
The entire Ninja Alliance was in an uproar!
"I understand..."
Uehara Naraku inspected his energy gradually returning to its peak state, and within his sensory range, he indeed sensed a powerful Tailed Beast Ball incoming!
A deep crimson... almost black Tailed Beast Ball!
The Ten-Tails, fully resurrected!
Just as Uehara Naraku was preparing to rush and resolve the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, Uchiha Madara suddenly appeared before him, gifting an enchanting smile, "Heh, inheritor of the Eye of the Moon, I was testing you earlier, and you've passed now. The Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball is arriving, would you need my help?"
"..."
A subtle feeling arose in Uehara Naraku's mind.
Because just a while ago, Uehara Naraku knew the Reanimation Body of Uchiha Obito had died once, being blown open from within the heart to death…
This was certainly Uchiha Madara's doing.
Upon discovering Uchiha Obito was a Reanimation Body, Uchiha Madara would not trust a controlled Uchiha Obito anymore but would begin trusting Black Zetsu again instead.
And Uchiha Madara surely obtained all the information from Black Zetsu, including the lies Black Zetsu told Uehara.
So, that means...
Uchiha Madara came to him with this act right after getting the intel?
Has Uchiha Madara gone mad or just overly confident?
Currently, Uehara Naraku is one of the only two Oscar-worthy actors left in the entire Akatsuki Organization!
"No problem, Senior Madara."
Uehara Naraku shook his head, clenching his teeth and saying quietly, "Although I consumed a lot due to battling with senior's Susanoo, I am the inheritor of your will, so even if it costs my life, I don't want to disappoint you..."
