"For example, if they proactively kill the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, it will slow down Lord Madara's efforts to collect the Tailed Beasts."
Black Zetsu spoke up, mentioning this possibility. Even if they keep a tight lid on it, as Uchiha Madara collects one Tailed Beast after another, midway through, some Ninja Villages will catch on, and at that time, they might even resort to sacrificing themselves to deal with them.
"The Four-tailed and Five-tailed haven't been resurrected yet... That guy, Nagato, hasn't been of much use so far, he's only left with resurrecting me as his purpose."
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly, but he also knew that the Tailed Beasts weren't fully resurrected. Even if he was eager for the resurrection, he couldn't immediately execute the Moon Eye Plan, or else it would only expose him and cause the Five Great Ninja Villages to unite against him.
That would be troublesome for him, especially since there's a relatively strong clan member in the Five Great Ninja Villages.
"Black Zetsu, have Nagato capture the Tailed Beasts quickly, at least three of them, after that he's useless."
Black Zetsu nodded and said, "Understood, Lord Madara, I'll take a few Reanimation Bodies to assist Nagato."
Now Uchiha Madara, based on the Reanimation Bodies brought back by Tobi, improved the Reanimation Jutsu, allowing the Reanimation Bodies to exert more of their strength from their past lives. With the superior clones of White Zetsu, this was achievable.
Seeing that Uchiha Madara didn't object, Black Zetsu then had White Zetsu continue with Reanimation. Earlier, Uchiha Madara had already disclosed the seals for the Forbidden Technique to them, so with more than ten Reanimation Bodies, capturing a Tailed Beast Jinchuriki should be feasible.
Currently the easier ones to capture include the One-tailed from the Hidden Sand Village, the wild Three-tailed, the Six-tailed from the Hidden Mist Village, and the Seven-tailed from the Hidden Waterfall Village; the Eight-tailed, Nine-tailed, and Two-tailed are difficult to capture, and the Four-tailed and Five-tailed haven't been resurrected.
As long as they can first capture the four easier Tailed Beasts, resurrecting Madara afterward won't be an issue. Otherwise, once Uchiha Madara emerges, it'll draw serious attention from the Five Great Ninja Villages.... Black Zetsu thought, the time for the mother's resurrection is near!
Afterwards, the original White Zetsu handed all the collected flesh to several White Zetsu clones; inside were lots of flesh from past powerful individuals, some of the corpses were still well preserved, at least they hadn't weathered into dust.
"Which one to pick... Maybe reviving the Second Hokage from Konoha Village first? After all, he's a familiar name to Lord Madara, hehehe."
White Zetsu laughed, taking Senju Tobirama's flesh, loving to witness such occurrences. Luckily, Madara didn't notice it earlier, or else this clone of his would have been killed.
"Reanimation Jutsu."
Taking the flesh and preparing everything, the White Zetsu clone performed the seals for the Forbidden Technique, pressing down on the ground. Then countless fragments covered another White Zetsu clone in front of it, gradually revealing Senju Tobirama's visage.
"Oh ho ho, this is the Second Hokage of Konoha Village. If we capture the wild Three-tailed, he might be enough on his own...."
The White Zetsu clone chuckled while taking out a Talisman Kunai, preparing to stab it into Senju Tobirama's head.
But just as the Talisman Kunai was about to touch Senju Tobirama's head, Senju Tobirama, in his Reanimation Body state, suddenly opened his eyes, glaring coldly at the White Zetsu clone before him.
"What?"
The White Zetsu clone was extremely shocked at this scene, it hadn't even awakened the Reanimation Body, how did Senju Tobirama regain consciousness?
"Sneaky little rat, you think by using my Forbidden Technique you can awaken and control me from the Netherworld!"
Senju Tobirama grabbed the arm of the White Zetsu clone, and with a burst of Chakra, flung this White Zetsu clone, smashing it against a distant wall with a loud 'boom.'
"What's going on..."
Inside, Uchiha Madara sensed Senju Tobirama's Chakra immediately, but because he was deep in the base, he didn't witness White Zetsu's actions during the Reanimation.
However, Uchiha Madara instantly used the Instant Body Jutsu to rush out, and the first thing he saw upon arriving was Senju Tobirama.
"So it's you!"
The Three-Tomoe in Uchiha Madara's eyes slowly spun. Even though Izuna had been dead for a long time, seeing Senju Tobirama again, he still couldn't stand this guy and even wanted to crush him.
"Uchiha Madara, as expected, you're reluctant to face death. I should have disobeyed my brother's orders back then and properly studied your corpse!"
Seeing Uchiha Madara, Senju Tobirama coldly remarked, not having any good feelings, while his Chakra quickly began to circulate.
"That idiot White Zetsu, doing unnecessary things, but it's okay, it just fulfills my past thoughts..."
As the words fell, Uchiha Madara instantly appeared in front of Senju Tobirama, Chakra gathered in his fist, ready to smash Senju Tobirama's head.
However, as he detected Uchiha Madara's intention to strike, Senju Tobirama threw a Flying Thunder God Kunai into the air, and just as Madara's fist was about to hit, he disappeared with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Almost simultaneously, Senju Tobirama appeared above Uchiha Madara, still holding the Kunai he had just thrown.
"Boring move!"
In an instant, Uchiha Madara's Sharingan transformed into the Rinnegan, and then an intense Repulsive Force exploded from him: "Almighty Push!"
Boom!
The nearly unstoppable Repulsive Force pushed everything in all directions away, creating a hemispherical crater in the ground; Senju Tobirama was sent flying and crashed into the top of the cave, then fell heavily to the ground.
Bang.
Just as Senju Tobirama hit the ground, Uchiha Madara stepped on Senju Tobirama's chest with his foot, then gathered a Black Rod in his hand and stabbed it into Senju Tobirama's body.
Bang!
The Black Rod, after entering Senju Tobirama's body, exploded in smoke, and then heavily embedded itself into the ground.
"A Shadow Clone? To think it could deceive my Sharingan, what did that guy do in the Pure Land...."
Uchiha Madara sensed something amiss, recalling the previous words Senju Tobirama seemed to already know it was him using the Reanimation Jutsu.
According to White Zetsu's information, Senju Tobirama had never returned to the Ninja World, so he shouldn't have known.
"Madara, your schemes won't succeed, the Six Paths Sage has known about your every move...."
Suddenly, Senju Tobirama's voice echoed in the underground cavern, but before Uchiha Madara could use Perception Ninjutsu, Senju Tobirama's Chakra vanished, and when Uchiha Madara attempted to search again, Senju Tobirama was nowhere to be found.
"Lord Madara, what's going on here?"
Black Zetsu asked with some surprise, feeling a bit anxious, as even the name Hagoromo had just come up.
"White Zetsu, where is your clone?"
"It died earlier, Lord Madara."
White Zetsu said, "However, before it died, the clone sent back its memory, and it seems Senju Tobirama broke free of the Reanimation Jutsu on his own, the clone didn't awaken his consciousness...."
"Broke free on his own.... looks like that guy indeed has a different experience in the Pure Land."
Uchiha Madara said with a slightly grave expression, the Pure Land was like a land of darkness, with no exit no matter how you walked, and no one to be found; he had once hoped to rely on the Rinnegan to find Hashirama's soul in the Pure Land, but searched for a long time, to no avail....
It seems that Senju Tobirama found the Six Paths Sage?
"Immediately go find Nagato, Black Zetsu, at the crucial time bring him back to me, don't do anything unnecessary."
Uchiha Madara cast a cold glance at White Zetsu, this foolish failure attempted Reanimation with Senju Tobirama on its own, causing his intelligence to leak.
With the Four-tailed and Five-tailed not resurrected, he might have to revive prematurely.
"I understand, Lord Madara."
Black Zetsu responded immediately, feeling very uneasy after hearing Hagoromo's name, if that guy intervened, it could obstruct the mother's resurrection.
After issuing the orders, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu went off in different directions, while Uchiha Madara returned to the depths of the base, preparing to take up the Round Fan and have a look in the Ninja World.
Once Uchiha Madara also left, the White Zetsu clone glanced at the reanimation materials and the clone used as a sacrifice before scratching its head and said, "Lord Madara didn't say to stop, so it should be okay to continue Reanimating, right?"
