Chapter 38 - 38: Kagami's Killer, Madara

"Madara, will doing this make Mito aware of our existence?" After White Zetsu left, Black Zetsu asked Madara with a slight hesitation. "Mito has probably already noticed something." Uchiha Madara snorted disdainfully. "Her being alive is, after all, a hidden danger to our plan." "To let Nagato inherit my eyes, we overthrew Uzushiogakure to prevent the Rinnegan from falling into their hands in the future." "I just didn't expect that Kagami would see through my control of the Mizukage, and I had to take action to deal with him." Towards the end, Madara sighed with emotion. Kagami was definitely a very talented Uchiha. Unfortunately, the Uchiha betrayed him, especially Kagami, who even became Tobirama's student, which made him dislike him even more, so he died. The Mangekyo Sharingan he is currently using is Kagami's. "Kagami dared to be an enemy of Madara-sama, he was asking for death." Black Zetsu flattered Madara. "However, speaking of which, Kagami's son is now Tsunade's disciple and is even called the Uchiha's greatest genius." "There are rumors that his talent is no less than Kagami's." "Hashirama's granddaughter?" Madara seemed a little dazed. Hashirama had asked him to hold that child back then, but he had refused. As for Kazuki, he was ignored by him. Kazuki has no brothers, so what if he has talent? He's just another Kagami. Without brothers, Kazuki cannot obtain the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Perhaps Kagami's eyes could help Kazuki, as it has never been said that Mangekyo Sharingan between father and son cannot merge, but these Mangekyo Sharingan are in his hands, so it is absolutely impossible for Kazuki to get them. No matter how talented one is, if they can't awaken the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, they will eventually go blind and pose no threat. It's better to keep him as a whetstone for Nagato. It just annoyed him a little that Kazuki became Tsunade's disciple. Why are Uchiha always disciples of the Senju, and not the other way around? Sure enough, those Uchiha who remained in Konoha have long lost their backbone. "Kushina is in Tsunade's team. For us, this is an opportunity." Black Zetsu's eyes deepened. "If we capture Tsunade and Kushina, it might attract Mito. If Madara-sama makes a move, it might even be possible to capture the Nine-Tails directly." "But in that case, everyone will know that I am still alive." Madara shook his head slightly. "I have the Gedo Statue providing me with life force, but after handing over the Rinnegan, I don't have much combat power." "Mito, as a member of the Uzumaki Clan, given her condition, living for at least another ten years is not a problem." "I may not be able to kill her in a short time right now. It's better to let her fight with other villages." "As for Tsunade and Kushina, they are not our real targets. Just causing trouble for them will suffice." After a pause, Madara continued, "Also, let the Ninja World truly descend into chaos. If all the villages turn against Konoha, Konoha definitely won't be able to withstand it, which would be detrimental to our plan." "Provoke conflicts between other villages as much as possible. The more chaotic the Ninja World, the better, to provide opportunities for Nagato's growth." "Yes! As you wish, Madara-sama." A faint glow flickered in Black Zetsu's eyes. Like Madara, Black Zetsu also felt that Mito should die. If Mito didn't die, White Zetsu wouldn't even dare to enter Konoha. The more chaotic the Ninja World, the better. Nagato's growth and Madara's death and subsequent revival will take some time, so it's necessary to reduce the Ninja World's combat power as much as possible now. The Uzumaki clan is almost gone, and the descendants of Uchiha and Senju still need to be weakened further. After instructing Black Zetsu, Madara sighed softly. If Mito wasn't so troublesome, he wouldn't want to make a move against her. She was one of his few remaining old friends. When Konoha was first established, he often visited Hashirama's place, and Mito always warmly entertained him. Her cooking was quite good. He still remembered that when Konoha was established, Mito brewed several jars of sake, saying they would be opened and drunk when Konoha reached its tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth years. It's just a pity that he and Hashirama fought to the death, and nothing else mattered anymore. After the Infinite Tsukuyomi, true peace will come, and whether it's Izuna, Hashirama, or Mito, they will all be resurrected within the Infinite Tsukuyomi. As for Tobirama, forget it, he doesn't deserve to live. He, Madara, wants to create a world without Tobirama. … Tsunade led Kazuki and his group at a fast pace, only stopping to rest briefly when they felt tired, and then continued on their journey. After a day, they had already traveled more than 200 kilometers from Konoha. Looking at the panting and not-so-good state of Kushina and Rinka, and then at Kazuki, who looked like he had just warmed up, Tsunade stopped. "Alright, let's rest here for today." "Here?" Kushina looked around at the tall trees, a look of disdain on her face. Kushina had experienced hardship when Uzushiogakure was destroyed before. But after running all day today, and having to rest outside, this life was a bit too hard. "Do you still want to stay in a house?" Tsunade rolled her eyes at Kushina in annoyance. "After all, this is a mission. This environment is already considered quite good." "In environments like the Land of Rain, where it rains every day and the ground is muddy, you can't rest properly at all." Kazuki said, "Kushina, you can actually sleep in a tree. Relatively speaking, it's safer on the branches." Kazuki pointed to a large tree, then took a pack of compressed biscuits from his backpack, tore open the packaging, took one for himself, and handed the rest to Kushina. Kushina hadn't experienced much hardship and had gained considerable experience under Tsunade, but Kazuki still couldn't help but take care of her. Kushina doesn't have a princess complex. She's just a bit naturally clumsy, boisterous, and adorably simple.
