Second Body was stabilizing the Magnet Release Chakra circulation throughout her body at home to undergo the Bloodline Limit transformation, and the information she received after the Shadow Clone dissipated nearly caused her to lose control.
If she were to become an idiot from the Magnet Release Chakra impact, that would truly be a laughingstock. She secretly complained to herself, how could she have a Shadow Clone with social anxiety?
It should have been a social butterfly. However, Yamato is now also in Anbu, so when Kakashi joins Anbu in the future, won't Yamato become Kakashi's senior?
Thinking of Kakashi calling Yamato'senior,' Second Body found it too amusing. Speaking of Kakashi, she wondered how they were doing now.
Had they encountered the Jonin from the Stone Ninja, Kōka, who shattered his white fang short sword and crushed Obito? Probably not yet, as the two sides hadn't started a full-scale war.
The message from the Third Hokage asking Ōnoki and the Third Raikage to cease hostilities should have reached them by now; it was up to them how to decide.
The Third Raikage, who temporarily didn't want to offend the Stone Ninja, would likely observe Ōnoki's actions and choose to cease hostilities for three months or launch a fierce attack.
Meanwhile, the Anbu squad led by Homura Mitokado was also on their way to the Amegakure. Hanzō and Danzo should have already spread the news of the Rinnegan throughout the Ninja World.
In fact, that was the case. All the Great Shinobi Countries had spies in the Amegakure, and now they had all received information about the Rinnegan. Their subconscious reaction was to send people to verify the authenticity of the information.
During this period, Konoha's request for a ceasefire made their intentions worth pondering. Had Konoha already confirmed the information about the Rinnegan?
And their current actions were likely aimed at seizing the Rinnegan, the legendary eye. Konoha might want to defeat them through the Rinnegan.
Following the principle of taking or destroying what the enemy wants, the Great Shinobi Countries also sent more personnel. With the idea of seizing the Rinnegan and ensuring the safety of Kitsuchi and Han, Ōnoki agreed to the ceasefire.
He informed Roshi on the Stone Ninja front line to cease hostilities for three months. Roshi also wanted to cease hostilities and rest, so he immediately sent someone to negotiate with Orochimaru and sign a three-month ceasefire agreement.
The main reason was that Minato Namikaze was killing Jonin on the Stone Ninja front line as if he were slaughtering chickens. The Stone Ninja suffered heavy losses, and without high-level combat power, they were completely unable to resist Konoha's attacks.
Minato Namikaze's title of 'Yellow Flash' also began to spread on a small scale, though it hadn't yet reached the point where the entire Ninja World knew and avoided him.
The Ninja World fell into a strange situation due to the news of the Rinnegan, with everyone tacitly sending more personnel to the Land of Rain.
None of this concerned Black Zetsu; he only wanted to know which bastard leaked the information about the Rinnegan. After White Zetsu investigated, he found out it was Danzo and Hanzō.
Black Zetsu had previously used the information about the Rinnegan to manipulate Hanzō and Danzo into killing Nagato, which led to Yahiko's blackening. He had thought no one would be foolish enough to spread the information about the Rinnegan.
Unfortunately, Black Zetsu miscalculated. He should have had Yahiko eliminate Danzo and Hanzō earlier, but it was too late. Now, the entire Ninja World knew that the Rinnegan was with the Akatsuki Organization.
Actually, Black Zetsu's actions weren't slow. Originally, Hanzō and Danzo were also hesitant about whether to spread the information about the Rinnegan. Uchiha Rei's formidable strength gave them hope.
They wanted Uchiha Rei and Yahiko to fight to the death so they could reap the benefits. Unfortunately, Second Body didn't fall for it and instead came up with a bad idea to make the Rinnegan known throughout the Ninja World.
This led to the failure of Black Zetsu's plan. In the original work, without Second Body's existence, Hanzō and Danzo did not spread the information about the Rinnegan.
Danzo wanted to monopolize the Rinnegan, and once back in Konoha, he wasn't afraid of the Akatsuki Organization. He believed he could seize the Rinnegan with his Sharingan and Wood Release, but now he had neither.
Danzo had sacrificed most of his Root elites at the time, so he had to keep the information a secret, not telling the Third Hokage, and naturally not anyone else.
Hanzō's hesitation led to his eventual downfall, so Black Zetsu didn't completely miscalculate. Unfortunately, he overlooked the role Uchiha Rei played in it.
Given the situation, Black Zetsu immediately discussed with Yahiko how to resolve it. Unfortunately, Yahiko's strength had suddenly increased from Jonin to Kage-level.
His mindset couldn't keep up, and he had become arrogant, believing himself to be supreme, the only one under heaven. Even if the entire Ninja World attacked him together, he wouldn't lose; instead, he could seize the Tailed Beasts and use the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Facing Yahiko, who already didn't have much brains and whose mind was corrupted by power, Black Zetsu was also desperate. A perfectly good situation where the Great Shinobi Countries only needed to eliminate Uchiha Rei, why did it turn into this?
To prevent the last Rinnegan from being taken, Black Zetsu had to inform Madara that the Rinnegan was being coveted, but he concealed the information that one Rinnegan had been lost.
He decided that if Yahiko was defeated, he would immediately step in to clean up the situation. If sacrificing Madara alone could collapse the entire Ninja World, then Black Zetsu could take the Rinnegan and find another host to complete the Eye of the Moon Plan, which would be no problem.
He felt that Obito was a good candidate; he wasn't very smart but was easily corrupted. Giving him the Rinnegan would definitely be no problem—that was his intuition.
Uchiha Madara was not angry that the Rinnegan was about to be taken; instead, he was full of fighting spirit. He put on White Zetsu, ready to seize the Rinnegan immediately if Yahiko was defeated.
Perhaps Yahiko could even defeat these useless Great Shinobi Countries with his eyes, and then he would step in. It would also make collecting the Tailed Beasts much easier in the future.
If he could achieve his predetermined goals, the way he most wanted to die was in battle, not to die old and pathetic.
Black Zetsu felt a bit disheartened facing two battle maniacs. Next time, he would definitely find someone less reckless, preferably someone more cautious.
It would be best if they were like him, always appearing under a disguise. He cursed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Hanzō a few more times in his heart.
Second Body was completely unaware of all this. These past few days, she had sent her Shadow Clones to work while she stayed home transforming her Magnet Release Bloodline Limit. Although she had learned some things about the Ninja World by reading intelligence in the Interrogation Department.
For example, all the Great Shinobi Countries were sending people to the Land of Rain and also investigating the whereabouts of Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze. If they had returned to the village, that would be fine.
If they went to the Land of Rain, then they would also have to send more Kage-level experts, otherwise, the Rinnegan might fall into Konoha's hands.
After Jiraiya learned about Nagato's death and Yahiko seizing the Rinnegan, he also didn't believe it and wanted to personally go to the Land of Rain to investigate clearly.
He firmly believed that Yahiko was not that kind of person, and the Rinnegan had inexplicably spread throughout the Ninja World. He had to go and protect Yahiko and Konan's safety.
Upon receiving the message from the Third Hokage, Minato also took Jiraiya and used the Flying Thunder God to rush to the border of the Land of Rain, and then began searching for the Akatsuki Organization's location.
The Akatsuki Organization had recently relocated, and they truly couldn't find them for a while. Black Zetsu, with the idea of hiding for as long as possible, forcefully demanded that Yahiko complete the transfer.
