"Danzo? That rat?"
Hearing Black Zetsu mention Danzo, Madara's eyes flashed with disgust. Even though he was also using Danzo, Madara still looked down on Danzo.
When it came to stirring up trouble in the shadows, Danzo was indeed powerful, but ultimately, he could only do despicable and shameless things in secret.
Just like his teacher, Tobirama.
Hmph! He's truly a good-for-nothing. He has Edo Tensei, and he even transplanted Hashirama's cells into himself, yet his strength is still so pathetic.
A good-for-nothing's disciple is just a good-for-nothing.
"Yes, Danzo learned about Fugaku's Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and wants to acquire Fugaku's eyes, while Fugaku wants Danzo's Edo Tensei. Both of them have a common enemy in Kazuki, and conveniently, they are also our pawns."
When speaking of Fugaku and Danzo, Black Zetsu's expression was subtly nuanced.
These two were both nurtured by them. Without them, there would be no Fugaku and Danzo today. If Fugaku wanted Edo Tensei, they could actually give it to him. However, they also wanted the two of them to unite.
"Hmm, it's just a pity that neither of them will be a match for Kazuki." Madara sighed softly.
Although he was arrogant, he was only so towards those weaker than him.
When facing Guy opening the Eighth Gate, Madara would willingly take the blow with his own body as a sign of respect for his opponent. If Madara wanted to, he actually had a way to evade that attack.
As for Kazuki, in terms of strength, he had earned Madara's recognition.
"Kazuki is indeed troublesome. Unfortunately, we can't find a way to deal with him for now. If Madara-sama could recover to his peak, regain his Rinnegan, and absorb the power of a few more Tailed Beasts, then I think he could defeat Kazuki." Black Zetsu pondered for a moment before offering his suggestion.
This was one of the few methods Black Zetsu had against Kazuki.
Since Kazuki's debut, it seemed he had always been in a favorable position. Relatively speaking, Black Zetsu still favored Madara more.
Madara was somewhat moved. The most pressing matter now was to revive. There was no other way, his body was simply too old. If he used Edo Tensei, he wouldn't be able to recover 100% of his full power, nor would he be able to become a Jinchuriki. For a time, Madara found it very difficult.
"Are there any other talented individuals within the Uchiha clan?" Madara hesitated for a moment before asking again.
It wasn't that Madara had a change of heart and wanted to take care of the Uchiha. Ever since the Uchiha had betrayed him, Madara no longer considered the Uchiha his own clan.
The clan he and his brother had protected with their lives ended up betraying him.
How could Madara accept that?
He had his sights set on the Uchiha clan. Kazuki was difficult to deal with, that was true, but what if one or two difficult ocular jutsu appeared?
The ocular jutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan had always been strange and unpredictable.
What if one happened to target Kazuki?
Moreover, if one couldn't deal with Kazuki, what about two? Or three?
Ultimately, Madara still didn't think highly of Fugaku. That guy was simply too foolish, thinking he was clever, but in reality, he was just a clown.
His mind was a bit slow. If not for his decent bloodline, he wouldn't even have the qualification to awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan. As a pawn, Fugaku was qualified, but as someone to oppose Kazuki, Fugaku was not qualified.
"There are a few children who are very talented."
Hearing Madara's words, Black Zetsu breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Mito's death allowed Black Zetsu to temporarily enter Konoha to gather information. Well, primarily, it was White Zetsu who went in.
Currently, Black Zetsu didn't know who the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was, as Kazuki was always in Konoha, and he dared not enter Konoha rashly. He only dared to let White Zetsu enter Konoha to gather intelligence. However, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was, in all likelihood, Kushina.
The Uzumaki physique held an advantage when it came to being a Jinchuriki. Fortunately, Kushina didn't seem to have mastered Kurama's power, otherwise, it would be difficult for White Zetsu to enter Konoha now.
"Hmm, continue to gather information. If possible, develop them towards hating Kazuki."
Madara nodded slightly and then said, "As for Danzo and Fugaku, give them more assistance. These two good-for-nothings have had so much time, yet they haven't accomplished anything significant."
Mentioning this matter, Madara felt a surge of anger.
Danzo has had control of Edo Tensei for so long, why hasn't he gone around the Ninja World digging up graves, stealing the corpses of those strong individuals, and bringing them back with Edo Tensei?
As a means to counter Kazuki, does he still need to wait for Kazuki to come knocking?
Indeed, a good-for-nothing is just a good-for-nothing.
You want White Zetsu? I can send them over anytime.
Anyway, Madara doesn't have much else right now, but he has plenty of White Zetsu.
There's no need to give any special White Zetsu. Ordinary White Zetsu, he has as many as needed, since they are only used as vessels for Edo Tensei.
As for corpses, do they expect them to be delivered to their doorstep?
They are simply worthless trash. Moreover, there are many people in the Ninja World who hate Kazuki. Why won't you unite them?
Don't fear a god-like opponent, only fear a pig-like teammate.
Danzo is a good-for-nothing, and Fugaku isn't much better.
"Yes."
Black Zetsu thought for a moment and then continued to ask, "Do we still need to stir up the situation in the Ninja World? Other countries seem to be afraid to make any moves because of Kazuki. If we only weaken the power of other countries, this would actually be helping Konoha."
Madara was also in a difficult position now. His original intention was to constantly instigate wars to prove that Hashirama was wrong back then.
The establishment of the village not only failed to bring peace but instead caused the war to continuously expand, and it was also aimed at other villages, laying the groundwork for the Eye of the Moon Plan later on.
But now, everyone is afraid to move.
