The situation has become a bit complicated.
Uchiha Madara's expression was gradually becoming displeased again.
Now, Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu each insisted on their own story, each accusing the other of betraying the Eye of the Moon Plan, although Uchiha Madara himself leaned towards Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu was an extension of his will—it's hard to say it would betray him!
If it weren't for Uchiha Obito's sworn claim of Black Zetsu's betrayal, Madara would never have considered if Black Zetsu would betray him.
The most critical point is that both Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu seemed to make sense, and their accusations of mutual betrayal were not without reason.
Black Zetsu, acting as the intelligence captain among the righteous Ninja Alliance, claimed to be an undercover agent using the Ninja Alliance, and accused Uchiha Obito of betraying them; it sounded quite complete.
Uchiha Obito, however, had revived the Ten-tailed on the villain's side and accused Black Zetsu of betrayal, joining the Ninja Alliance with the intent to destroy the Ten-tailed. That also sounded reasonable.
Damn, it's really hard to judge!
Because Uchiha Madara had too little information at hand.
Uchiha Obito glanced at Uchiha Madara, who was still pondering, and urgently urged, "Madara, what are you waiting for? Let's quickly deal with the Ninja Alliance and hurry to Orochimaru to snatch his Ten-tailed!"
"..."
Uchiha Madara remained silent.
Because Black Zetsu kept urging him through the connection with the Rinnegan: "Lord Madara, quickly take the opportunity to deal with Uchiha Obito. He has been secretly colluding with Orochimaru!"
"..."
Uchiha Madara continued his silence.
Fortunately, at this most troublesome moment, Senju Tobirama's words beside him swayed the balance in Madara's heart: "Hmph, Uchiha Madara, I didn't expect you were the true mastermind behind Uchiha Obito's disruption of the Ninja World!"
"Hmph..."
Hearing Tobirama's words, Uchiha Madara tilted his head and looked at Tobirama, smirking contemptuously: "Have you finally realized the truth? Your brain is still so sharp, Tobirama!"
Uchiha Madara slowly crossed his arms, leisurely saying, "So what if you know? Uchiha Obito has already helped me revive the Ten-tailed, Tobirama, and I also returned to the Ninja World using your Kinjutsu..."
"So it was you!"
Tobirama's eyes narrowed slightly, shouting sharply: "No wonder after the Valley of the End battle, I kept your corpse, yet it went missing. Uchiha Madara, it seems your schemes had already started then..."
"..."
Uchiha Madara seemed to have thought of something and slowly nodded, his voice heavy: "Yes, back when I captured the Nine-tail and was heading to my final battle with Hashirama, I had already prepared a backup plan."
After finishing speaking, Uchiha Madara grasped the fan in his hand, grimly stating: "Since then, I had laid out all the plans, and now everything is going as expected..."
Alright, in fact, Uchiha Madara was just putting on a brave front.
Because everything was beyond his expectations.
The current Eye of the Moon Plan had already encountered a multitude of issues, particularly the fact that either Black Zetsu or Uchiha Obito had betrayed him...
At this moment.
Black Zetsu continued relentlessly urging Uchiha Madara: "Lord Madara, quickly kill Uchiha Obito and clear the path for the Ninja Alliance! We must hurry..."
"Black Zetsu."
Uchiha Madara's voice took on a trace of coldness, his tone sinister: "Stop contacting me from now on!"
This sounded a bit heartless.
Black Zetsu, upon hearing this, was somewhat dumbfounded!
The next moment, Black Zetsu quickly thought of a possibility, that Uchiha Obito was deceiving Uchiha Madara!
Black Zetsu hurriedly began to persuade, "Lord Madara, Uchiha Obito is the one who betrayed us..."
"It doesn't matter who amongst you betrayed me."
Uchiha Madara interrupted Black Zetsu, his voice gradually calming down, his confidence returning: "Once I dispose of everyone, revive as the Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, everything will be back on track..."
After saying that, Uchiha Madara gazed at the Ninja Alliance soldiers below with fierce eyes, stating grimly: "In any case, these ninjas will eventually be our enemies!"
Though Madara seemed to make sense.
Black Zetsu still felt some discomfort in its heart.
Honestly, at this moment, Black Zetsu felt a bit like swearing.
For so many years, who was the one always silently accompanying you in the underground base? Don't you have any idea?
Where is the trust between people?
Was it just swayed by a few words from Uchiha Obito?
Damn, Uchiha truly have no brains!
Black Zetsu really felt it was about to be infuriated to death by Uchiha Madara!
This Ninja World's Uchiha are truly unfriendly, not a single normal one since the era of Indra!
"Bastard!"
Black Zetsu finally had a bit of a mental breakdown.
Uchiha Madara must be insane!
Why trust Uchiha Obito over it when both are actually deceiving him? Just because that bastard Uchiha Obito shares the same last name?
"Hogoromo..."
Black Zetsu slowly clenched its fists, feeling utterly disheartened: "Your descendants, indeed, are nothing like you... Are they always this arrogant?"
Damn!
Over a thousand years, Asura's Chakra reincarnates were all idiots, always stubborn, making them hard to deceive!
Indra's Chakra reincarnates, despite not being bright, always loved to act as if they had the greatest intelligence and power!
Black Zetsu's gaze slowly drifted, resting on Uehara Naraku, as if at that moment it could only draw a bit of warmth from Naraku who still believes in it...
The human heart in this Ninja World is too complex; Uehara Naraku is still easier to fool.
Black Zetsu's gaze slowly shifted, stopping on Uchiha Madara. Now they could only defeat Uchiha Madara before snatching the Rinnegan and the Ten-tailed from Orochimaru?
No, there's another way.
That is, it could defect right now with Uehara Naraku and join forces with Uchiha Madara. This wasn't impossible… The problem was that they had managed to infiltrate the Ninja Alliance, so they couldn't waste their power, could they?
"Zetsu-senpai, what's the situation now?"
Uehara Naraku's figure appeared beside Black Zetsu, waved away the nearby Perception Ninja, and whispered, "I remember that after Senju Hashirama's power increased, he could break free from the control of the Reanimation. Can Madara not break free from the Reanimation's control? What should we do?"
"Uh..."
Black Zetsu hesitated immediately.
After a second, Black Zetsu quietly told Uehara Naraku about his conversation with Uchiha Madara, thinking that Uchiha Obito had deceived him.
If possible...
Black Zetsu really wished Uehara Naraku had Uchiha's bloodline!
If that were the case, Black Zetsu could wholeheartedly put all hope of reviving Otsutsuki Kaguya on Uehara Naraku!
Black Zetsu finally realized a problem: whenever the Eye of the Moon plan encountered major setbacks, Uehara Naraku would be by its side, giving it confidence and warmth.
As for Uchiha Madara, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't escape the self-righteous loop of the Uchiha Clan!
"...."
Uehara Naraku fell into silence as well.
Because all of this was due to his secret manipulation.
It seems everything truly went as he anticipated.
Hehe, only he could be the mastermind behind the scenes in the Ninja World. Black Zetsu, a filthy thing, thought it could compete with him?
Even Uchiha Madara, if Uehara Naraku wanted to put in the effort, couldn't he be manipulated a bit?
Didn't it succeed?
After Uchiha Madara was revived, Uehara Naraku had guessed that Black Zetsu might make Uchiha Madara withdraw from the battlefield directly. If Madara couldn't fight, how could he defeat him and claim the rewards?
Moreover, Orochimaru had just extracted the Nine-tailed Chakra from Minato, allowing the Ten-tailed to fully awaken. But Orochimaru wanted to absorb the Ten-tailed to evolve into Six Paths: Orochimaru, which required time.
During this time, it's up to Uchiha Madara to contend.
Furthermore, going directly to face what might become the Six Paths Uchiha Madara made Uehara a bit uneasy. He still wanted to use Madara to get some major rewards, considering there were plenty of tasks related to Madara...
Defeat Uchiha Madara.
Force Uchiha Madara to battle with all his might.
Claim the title acknowledged as the strongest from Uchiha Madara's mouth.
Besides, there are some peculiar tasks.
Like breaking Madara's legs so he can't dance... What is that?
Smashing two Heaven Concealed meteors head-on... that's a bit more reasonable...
Due to Madara's unique traits, many tasks related to him could only be accomplished during the Fourth Ninja World War.
Some task rewards will certainly not be low! Uehara Naraku definitely didn't want to miss out on this lush piece of green Uchiha Madara.
Madara is the most charismatic villain in the entire Naruto World.
Regardless of Uchiha Obito, Black Zetsu, or Otsutsuki Kaguya, compared to Madara's villainous charm, they're just not on the same level!
The creator of the Naruto World reportedly mentioned, Madara's power was such that even he didn't know how to defeat him...
Therefore...
Uehara Naraku not only arranged Uchiha Obito as the comic relief but also set up Senju Tobirama as the supporting role, all part of his plan.
It's a pity Black Zetsu is unaware.
Black Zetsu still wallows in the pain of Madara's refusal to trust it.
"Forget it."
Uehara Naraku brushed past the Venus Flytrap, gently patted Black Zetsu's shoulder, and softly sighed, "Then we'll try to defeat Master Madara first. Zetsu-senpai, you continue to communicate with Master Madara, and I will persuade him during the battle...
Our hope of defeating him may be slim, but Master Madara left behind the Rinnegan and the will for peace in the Ninja World. He will surely understand you, Zetsu-senpai."
At this moment, Uehara Naraku didn't forget his persona.
He was a naive little ninja tricked by Black Zetsu into executing the Eye of the Moon plan, hoping that Madara, who left the Rinnegan and his legacy, would see the plan completed.
This is the principle of a behind-the-scenes actor.
"...Hmm."
Black Zetsu responded gruffly, sighing, "I just didn't expect him to be deceived by Uchiha Obito. We originally planned together..."
At this point, Black Zetsu abruptly stopped.
Because of Madara's ruthless betrayal, Black Zetsu's performance was clearly subpar; it nearly forgot its persona in front of Uehara.
"Planned what?"
Uehara Naraku questioned, furrowing his brows.
Black Zetsu sighed, speaking in a hoarse voice, "Planning... how Nagato could safely transplant Madara's Rinnegan..."
"Oh."
Uehara Naraku nodded casually.
While they were chatting here, Uchiha Madara slung his fan behind him, walking alone step by step toward the entire Ninja Alliance.
Madara's gaze shifted slightly, merely observing tens of thousands of ninjas calmly, not stopping his steps.
"Uchiha Sasuke... take a good look."
When Madara spoke to Sasuke, he didn't turn around. He only suddenly tightened his grip, his voice rising, "Look closely... at how an Uchiha... fights!"
