The plan must have gone wrong.
According to Uchiha Madara's predictions, he should now have been completely resurrected with a full life through the Reincarnation Jutsu, directly becoming the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki.
Now, his body is from Reanimation.
At the scene, there was no sign of the Ten-Tails or the Gedo Statue.
Uchiha Madara's gaze shifted slightly, beginning to evaluate the entire battlefield. He hadn't yet figured out the battlefield's situation, and without a doubt, none of them were his subordinates.
No, there was one.
Uchiha Madara's gaze finally stopped, landing on Black Zetsu. His gaze lingered on the Ninja Headband atop Black Zetsu's head, silently observing him for a long time.
Uchiha Madara gradually fell into contemplation.
After a while, as Uchiha Madara surveyed the situation around Black Zetsu, his expression started to change subtly.
Uchiha Madara felt a bit creepy, as if he had walked into the wrong world.
What exactly is Black Zetsu doing?
Can someone tell him what the current situation is?
Can someone tell him why Black Zetsu is wearing a Ninja Headband and even seems to have a squad of ninjas protecting him!
Uchiha Madara felt somewhat uneasy. He surveyed those around him, his fingers moving slightly: "Can anyone tell me what is going on right now..."
"That guy... is Uchiha Madara!"
Suddenly, a shout arose from the crowd.
The one who shouted Uchiha Madara's name was none other than Black Zetsu, the Intelligence Squad Captain of the Ninja Alliance, making Uchiha Madara's expression even more subtle at this moment.
Black Zetsu even shouted towards Uehara Naraku: "Uehara, quickly deal with Uchiha Madara, he's been restrained!"
Uchiha Madara was dumbfounded.
What the hell is going on?
The entire scene became uproarious because of Uchiha Madara's identity.
Clearly, everyone knew exactly what a legendary figure like Uchiha Madara represented, as he was someone who once contended with the God of Ninja!
No ninja of this era could match his level!
Even those like Jiraiya, who once knew that Uehara Naraku had defeated Senju Hashirama, were filled with shock at this moment!
After all, hearing about it from others could never compare to seeing it firsthand!
Especially the incredible strength of Uchiha Madara's Chakra!
Uchiha Madara ignored the others and just turned his head back to look at Black Zetsu, who suddenly lowered its head, secretly transmitting a message to Uchiha Madara.
"Lord Madara."
Black Zetsu's hoarse voice sounded in Uchiha Madara's mind. Due to Uchiha Madara's Reanimation Body possessing the Rinnegan's ability, the two could communicate directly.
Black Zetsu was really scared of being exposed by Uchiha Madara!
"What is happening, what's the situation?"
Uchiha Madara's voice clearly had a hint of suppressed anger and impatience: "Where is that kid Nagato? Where is Uchiha Obito? And what are you doing, have you betrayed me?"
"No, I am Lord Madara's will."
Hearing Uchiha Madara on the verge of fury, Black Zetsu quickly explained: "But given the current situation, Lord Madara, we have to temporarily hide our objectives!"
Black Zetsu succinctly relayed all his intelligence to Uchiha Madara: "Nagato is dead, Uchiha Obito betrayed us. He conspired with Orochimaru to seize the Rinnegan and the Gedo Statue, and they are plotting to become the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki..."
"Hmm, just as I thought?"
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly, expressing disdain for Uchiha Obito: "I knew from the start that the kid would eventually grow ambitious..."
"Yes."
After listening, Black Zetsu continued: "Lord Madara, the Five Great Countries have already formed a Ninja Alliance to campaign against Orochimaru, so Uehara Naraku and I are leveraging the power of the Ninja Alliance. Once we defeat Orochimaru, we will continue with the Eye of the Moon Plan..."
"..."
Uchiha Madara was silent for a while, then raised an odd question: "Black Zetsu, who is Uehara Naraku? Is this person part of our plan?"
"Uehara joined the Eye of the Moon Plan just a few years ago..."
As Black Zetsu said this, he even hesitated to praise Uehara Naraku: "That kid is the most talented amongst the civilian ninjas. Without Uehara, our plan wouldn't have advanced to this stage."
If it weren't for Uehara Naraku, after Uchiha Obito's betrayal, their Eye of the Moon Plan would have already collapsed.
Now, leveraging the power of the Ninja Alliance to seek out and campaign against Orochimaru's group was all part of Uehara Naraku's plan.
"By the way."
Black Zetsu discreetly glanced at Uehara Naraku and continued to relay information to Uchiha Madara: "Uehara Naraku is standing opposite Lord Madara, that ninja in the black robe.
Uehara Naraku is one of us, and also the Ninja Alliance Commander-in-Chief, while I am now the Intelligence Squad Captain of the Ninja Alliance... I have sensed the revival of the Ten-Tails, and we must rely on the power of the Ninja Alliance now!"
"You guys... are quite the schemers!"
Uchiha Madara once again fell into contemplation.
After a while, Uchiha Madara asked Black Zetsu a very crucial question: "Can this Ninja Alliance actually defeat Orochimaru and the Ten-Tails?"
This Ninja Alliance, which you infiltrated...
Such a ridiculous alliance, can they truly defeat Orochimaru?
Not only did Uchiha Madara raise this question, but Black Zetsu had also once had the same doubts. Yet, now it seemed the Ninja Alliance, under Uehara's command, was performing quite well...
"To be honest, I also think the Alliance is not very reliable."
Black Zetsu's voice had a hint of disdain, but the next moment it regained confidence: "However, with Uehara Naraku as the Alliance Commander-in-Chief, there is still that possibility..."
"What about my identity?"
Uchiha Madara asked this question.
From Black Zetsu's mouth, Uchiha Madara quickly understood the current situation.
Essentially, he was resurrected by Yakushi Kabuto's Reanimation to be used as a tool to deal with the Ninja Alliance to buy time for Orochimaru to become the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki.
Black Zetsu even seemed rather proud: "To ensure the Eye of the Moon Plan goes without a hitch, I deliberately tricked Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto into resurrecting Master Madara close to his peak..."
"Not bad, this body can barely exert some power."
Uchiha Madara's gaze shifted as he looked at the two people beside him.
One was Senju Tobirama, this person really did look annoying, appearing to be a Reanimation Body, likely controlled as well;
The other was a living person...
As Uchiha Madara looked at Uchiha Sasuke, his gaze slightly shifted; this little fellow resembles his brother Uchiha Izuna a bit!
Black Zetsu silently noticed Uchiha Madara's action and explained: "That person is Uchiha Sasuke, also the last survivor of the Uchiha clan. He is our enemy."
The information Black Zetsu conveyed to Uchiha Madara soured his mood; Uchiha Sasuke had also been led astray by Orochimaru.
All of these are their enemies.
No big deal, no need to panic.
For Uchiha Madara, as long as he still has his power, the problems aren't that significant; even if someone becomes the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, he is confident he can resolve it.
"I understand."
After Uchiha Madara nodded, his voice appeared in Black Zetsu's mind: "Now I know what has happened, my task is to clear the path, letting the Ninja Alliance pass, correct?"
"Correct."
Black Zetsu's smile bore a sinister edge as it continued: "The Ten-tailed is soon to be revived, Orochimaru or Uchiha Obito is likely to become the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki. We can leverage the Ninja Alliance to fight them!
After all, the power of the Ten-tailed is unimaginably strong. Once these people weaken the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, I'll find a way to possess the person with the Rinnegan, control them, and completely bring Master Madara back, that's when our real action begins!"
"Alright."
Uchiha Madara slowly nodded.
Everything Black Zetsu told him made sense, their plan had indeed gone off track slightly, but at least it was getting back on course.
Moreover, Uchiha Madara also sensed the Ten-tailed's awakening...
Even though Uchiha Madara rushed over now, it wouldn't be in time; who knows if Orochimaru or Uchiha Obito might become the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki. Better let the Ninja Alliance test the Ten-tailed's strength for him first!
Uchiha Madara thought it sounded quite nice.
Unfortunately, just as Uchiha Madara was about to clear the path, a space-time vortex appeared beside him, and Uchiha Obito's figure emerged.
Uchiha Obito waved and threw a fan to Uchiha Madara, coldly stating: "Madara, Black Zetsu has already betrayed us and joined the Ninja Alliance. It wants to destroy the Ten-tailed. Quickly, help eliminate them!"
"..."
Uchiha Madara's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
At this moment, Uchiha Madara vaguely sensed something was amiss.
As someone who had just been resurrected, he just figured out the current situation from Black Zetsu; now, Uchiha Obito provided another scenario.
But how could Black Zetsu, which was his will, betray him?
"Madara, the Ten-tailed's awakening does you no harm, right?"
Under Uchiha Obito's mask, the blood-red Sharingan watched Uchiha Madara, speaking with a grave tone: "Even if someone became the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki first, but that person uses your Rinnegan, you can also weaken them and control them to revive you, thus seizing the Ten-tailed within them, correct?"
"..."
Uchiha Madara nodded subtly.
As the legendary Ninja World Asura, apart from Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Madara couldn't possibly fear any enemy, what more a Ten-tailed Jinchuriki?
What Uchiha Obito said was correct...
Even if someone used his Rinnegan to become the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, Uchiha Madara has ways to solve this trouble!
Uchiha Obito gazed at Uchiha Madara, his voice gloomy as he continued: "Once the Ten-tailed is destroyed and fragmented by the Ninja Alliance, waiting for the next convergence might not happen...
I know a fully-powered you can't be controlled by Reanimation, so I tried everything for Yakushi Kabuto and Orochimaru to revive you at your peak, to have you deal with your betraying will, Black Zetsu!
Madara, it's betrayed you!"
"..."
Uchiha Madara fell into silence.
Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu each insisted the other betrayed him, and both seemed to have a point.
It appears the plan encountered more than just a few issues.
The key is determining who truly betrayed the Eye of the Moon Plan!
"..."
Uehara Naraku watched Uchiha Madara with a worried expression, seeing his demeanor shift from domineering to perplexed.
If Uchiha Madara, newly resurrected, is about to be deceived... could he be played to ruin?
