Jiraiya's idea isn't flawed.
However, trying to extract information about Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru from Black Zetsu is simply wishful thinking. They can't even catch Black Zetsu.
And even if they did catch it, Black Zetsu can't make up the information.
Black Zetsu truly doesn't know!
Although it holds much intelligence about the ninja world, it absolutely cannot find the location of Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru, no matter how hard it tries!
This is where you have to mention Uehara Naraku's meticulous manipulation. While Uehara doesn't control all the intelligence of the ninja world, he controls the source of the information.
Every move of the dangerous figures in the ninja world, and even their life and death, is in the hands of Uehara Naraku. Only when he wants them to live can they continue living.
Black Zetsu doesn't have any intelligence at all.
However, Jiraiya's suggestion is still the only current solution, so Konan also agreed to try capturing Black Zetsu to see if they could extract any information.
But, Konan still pointed out a problem ahead of time.
"Zetsu has always been an intelligence member of the Akatsuki."
Konan furrowed her brows with worry and said, "Its information has always been very accurate. If it really is a spy of Uchiha Obito and knows what's happening in Konoha, it might have already escaped from Akatsuki…"
"Not might have, but definitely has."
Uehara Naraku raised his head with a grim look and said to Konan, "Sensei, Black Zetsu's sole purpose has always been to make us gather the Tailed Beasts. Now that Lord Nagato has sacrificed himself and we've abandoned gathering the Tailed Beasts, it certainly wouldn't stay in Akatsuki anymore…"
"If we can't find Black Zetsu…"
Jiraiya slowly lowered his head and said softly, "Then we can only continue to send more people to search for Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru's whereabouts!"
"Then please put in extra effort."
Uehara Naraku clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Notify me immediately when you find them. I will absolutely not let those two bastards go!"
Now he must go back and quickly calm Black Zetsu.
Based on Black Zetsu's sensitivity to intelligence, it will soon learn of what's happened in Konoha. It will know about Nagato's sacrifice, Yakushi Kabuto colluding with Uchiha Obito to betray the Eye of the Moon, and the Rinnegan being taken by Orochimaru along with many other pieces of intelligence…
It's hard to say whether Black Zetsu will fall into despair!
After all, in a thousand years, this was Black Zetsu's closest attempt to succeeding in the Eye of the Moon Plan, only to be betrayed again and again... Even if Black Zetsu has a strong heart, it's hard to say whether it can endure such blows.
Uehara Naraku sighed softly in his heart.
At this point, he's the only one who will stay with Black Zetsu. He wants to make Black Zetsu realize that there is no one else in the ninja world worth trusting except for him.
Apart from him, there is no one Black Zetsu can rely on in the ninja world!
After all, controlling Orochimaru to revive Uchiha Madara, and reviving Nagato along the way, all relies on Black Zetsu's help!
This is indeed the case.
"Alright, let's skip these topics for now. Next, I will dispatch more Anbu to search for the whereabouts of Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito. They certainly won't stay hidden after obtaining the Rinnegan."
After Tsunade finished speaking, she looked at Uehara Naraku and Konan and continued in a deep voice, "When do you plan to return the Tailed Beasts of the other big countries? This would reduce their hostility toward the Hidden Rain Village."
"There's no way to return them."
Uehara Naraku shook his head and said softly, "The Gedo Statue, which imprisons the Tailed Beasts, can only be controlled by the Rinnegan. Now that Lord Nagato's body and the Rinnegan have fallen into Orochimaru's hands, the Gedo Statue is likely to soon fall into his hands as well. We must first find the Rinnegan."
"Where is the Gedo Statue imprisoning the Tailed Beasts now?"
"After Lord Nagato canceled the Gedo Statue's summoning, it might still be within the Akatsuki's base, but should soon be taken away by Orochimaru's summoning… The Rinnegan is not the goal; using the Rinnegan to manipulate and resurrect the Gedo Statue is the goal."
Uehara Naraku continued shaking his head and said in a deep voice, "Unfortunately, even if our strength is great, there's nothing we can do about the Gedo Statue…"
However, Tsunade's words reminded Uehara Naraku.
The Gedo Statue might still be in the Akatsuki's base, but they must find a way to move it so as not to leave any evidence.
After all, he's been cleansed.
Since he's cleansed, there must be no blemishes left.
"Is that so?"
Tsunade frowned again and then shook her head, temporarily ignoring the issue of the Gedo Statue. She glanced at Uehara Naraku and said, "I will soon hold a Five Kage Summit. You should also attend!"
"Five Kage Summit?"
Uehara Naraku pondered for a while and then said softly, "It sounds like a meeting of the Five Great Countries' Ninja Villages. Can small countries participate too?"
"Of course, they can participate."
Tsunade nodded and continued lightly, "If possible, I am considering hosting the Five Kage Summit in the Hidden Rain Village or the Land of Iron. It would be to discuss how to deal with the crisis of Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru, and also to mediate between you and the Hidden Rain Village to prevent further hatred from spreading."
Tsunade is purely out of good intentions.
After all, Uehara Naraku, as a member of the Akatsuki, destroyed the ninja villages of the four great countries. Even though the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Mist Village have temporarily ceased pursuing under Konoha's pressure, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Rock Village are unlikely to let it go easily.
Tsunade hopes to erase all hatred and animosity at this Five Kage Summit and to form a Ninja Alliance to jointly capture Uchiha Obito and Orochimaru.
The power of one ninja village is limited.
If the Five Great Countries' Ninja Villages could unite, no matter where Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito are hiding, it would be difficult for them to escape the pursuit of the Five Great Countries.
Moreover, once a real war starts against Orochimaru, Uchiha Obito and their companions, a powerful ninja like Uehara Naraku is indispensable.
Uehara Naraku, this guy...
Can be regarded as the new generation's Ninja Demigod!
How can such power be rejected?
Uehara Naraku frowned and was silent for a while, probably feeling that this world is a bit magical, is he going to attend the Five Kage Summit?
How...
How does someone like him working behind the scenes get invited to the Five Kage Summit?
It's truly amazing!
After a moment, Uehara Naraku seemed to have finished pondering, slowly nodded, and said, "Thank you, Hokage. I will attend, and if conflict arises with the Third Tsuchikage or Fourth Raikage..."
Speaking to this point, a hint of firmness flashed in Uehara Naraku's eyes: "I will definitely not back down! I just worry it will disrupt the Hokage's hard-prepared Five Kage Summit..."
"It doesn't matter."
Tsunade slowly folded her hands and lowered her head, saying, "I still hope everyone can understand each other... After all, with the threat of Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito, it would be better if no conflict occurs then."
"Mm."
Uehara Naraku agreed.
Since they chatted enough about the future matters that would be resolved at the Five Kage Summit, Uehara Naraku and Konan did not continue to stay and intended to leave Konoha.
Quite a few people came to see them off.
This is also thanks to the reason Uehara Naraku has been washed clean, many ninjas who got along well in Konoha specially came over to bid farewell, such as Might Guy and Team 3.
"Finally... finally..."
Rock Lee almost wanted to bawl, emotionally hiccuping unable to speak clearly: "We're no longer enemies, we can finally be friends with Senior Uehara again!"
"Yes! How can the friendship of men be interrupted just like that!"
Might Guy was also full of emotion, he was probably the luckiest ninja in this war.
After Might Guy sacrificed, he almost turned to ashes, first got a complete body through Yakushi Kabuto's Reanimation, then revived again through Reincarnation.
After the farewell, they went back to continue working, Konoha just had a white ground burnt by Uchiha Obito's big fire, and a lot of work needed to be done.
Only Uzumaki Naruto, Hatake Kakashi, Haruno Sakura, and Jiraiya escorted them a long way, obviously they still had things to privately inquire.
Uehara Naraku guessed.
Before Uzumaki Naruto asked, Uehara Naraku took the lead and said, "Naruto, do you want to ask about Sasuke?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Uzumaki Naruto immediately nodded, looking at Uehara Naraku full of expectation: "Will Sasuke come back?"
"I don't know."
Uehara Naraku shook his head and sighed lightly: "Akatsuki and Konoha are no longer enemies, but Sasuke always wants to destroy Konoha..."
After saying this, Uehara Naraku whispered: "I guess once Sasuke knows about what happened in Konoha, he might withdraw from the Akatsuki organization. Since he obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan, his strength has been advancing rapidly, perhaps I'm not even his opponent now."
"Has Sasuke... become stronger again?"
Uzumaki Naruto slowly clenched his fists.
They witnessed Uehara Naraku's power, even Uehara admitted that his power was inferior, how strong is Sasuke's strength now!
Haruno Sakura next to him opened her mouth in surprise, curiously asked: "Wait a minute... The power of the Mangekyo Sharingan is so exaggerated? I remember Teacher Kakashi..."
"No, it's true."
Konan glanced at Haruno Sakura and supplemented: "Back then, Uchiha Itachi relied on the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan, even Nagato dared not ignore..."
Hatake Kakashi also nodded and continued: "Indeed, the dojutsu of the Mangekyo Sharingan is very special, it can almost transform a person's power, each kind of dojutsu has unimaginable magical power..."
After saying this, Hatake Kakashi whispered: "Only the Mangekyo Sharingan also has shortcomings, after each use of dojutsu, it will consume the eye power within it, will reduce the vision of the Mangekyo Sharingan until blindness..."
"That will take some time too!"
Uehara Naraku shook his head and said in a deep voice: "At least my chance to defeat Sasuke now is very low. According to Hoshigaki Kisame's statement, Sasuke has obtained power beyond Itachi!
When I return, if Sasuke is still in the Akatsuki's base, I will try to persuade him to put down his hatred towards Konoha; if he leaves the Akatsuki's base, I will send someone to deliver information about Sasuke to you."
"Thank you, Uehara."
Uzumaki Naruto pushed his ninja headband, determinedly said: "In the future, I will definitely bring him back!"
"I believe you can definitely do it."
Uehara Naraku sincerely nodded.
