"That's right!"
After Nagato's analysis, Zetsu immediately became excited, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt Nagato's analysis was correct.
That's right.
This lineup is different from before.
Previously, they were all Ninja, but now there are two Ōtsutsuki within the organization.
The previous lineup was completely incomparable to the current one.
"You're right!"
Zetsu grinned, "It seems Uzumaki Naruto's doomsday has arrived this time."
"I want them to also experience the taste of pain."
Nagato smiled sinisterly.
Zetsu was startled.
Ever since Konan was captured, Nagato's mental state had been very abnormal.
Even now, he looked somewhat deranged.
Is it just a woman, and can it be such a big blow to a man?
Zetsu recalled Obito, who had already gone to the Pure Land; it seemed that whenever women were involved, these people were very prone to bursting with power.
Hmm, also prone to decadence and madness.
There were two such examples right beside him.
Zetsu shook his head, indicating he didn't understand.
He really couldn't understand human thinking, it was truly strange.
"Alright!"
Nagato put away his smile, looked at Zetsu, and said lightly, "Uchiha Madara can wait for later. I want to personally take revenge."
"However, just in case, you should bring his corpse with you when we go to conquer the Land of Fire."
Nagato knew his current physical condition was not optimistic.
Bringing Uchiha Madara's corpse was also a precaution.
"I knew it!"
Zetsu didn't care; as long as he achieved his goal in the end, everything else was minor details.
Unimportant.
"By the way, what did the Daimyō of the Land of Wind say?"
"Zabuza has already talked to him. His demand isn't high, just to attack the Land of Fire with us."
"He wants the corpses of Kakashi Hatake and Uzumaki Naruto."
"Kakashi Hatake?"
Nagato frowned, "What does this have to do with Kakashi?"
Last time it was Obito wanting Kakashi, and this time the Daimyō also wants Kakashi.
What evil has Kakashi done?
Why does everyone want to target him?
"Sakumo Hatake killed Chiyo's family back then, what do you think?"
"Oh, the hatred for killing a child, irreconcilable. I understand!"
"This is to affect future generations."
Nagato scoffed, unconcerned. He and these people were birds of a feather, nothing to say.
"All is ready, only the east wind is lacking!"
Under Zetsu's urging, Nagato came to the outer edge of the platform and looked at the misty drizzle. In a trance, Nagato saw Konan's face and voice.
"Wait for me, I'll be there soon."
"Zetsu!"
"Hmm?"
"You have a collection of Byakugan, don't you?"
Although Nagato was asking, his tone was very certain.
Zetsu paused for a moment, then hesitated, "I do, but are you telling me to give the Byakugan to that Toneri?"
"What else?"
Nagato retorted, "What if Toneri goes to the Hyuga Clan to cause trouble and can't come back?"
"It's more appropriate for you to give it to him."
"Alright!"
It's just a pair of Byakugan, after all.
In these nearly a thousand years, he had collected many things.
The Byakugan was just one of them; in his eyes, it wasn't as precious as the Sharingan.
Just give one pair and collect another later.
If Konoha Village could be crippled this time, perhaps even more good things could be collected.
Just a pair of Byakugan, given is given, no heartache.
"Now it depends on when this Toneri can adapt."
"Naruto, let's begin our third match."
The previous two times he had lost completely.
But this time, he had confidence.
No need to say, the advantage is with me.
…
"I feel like someone's talking about me, it must be that Nagato."
Naruto, who was eating bullfrog hotpot at home, muttered, then clicked his tongue, "I say, Orochimaru, why have you changed your appearance again? It hasn't been long since we last met, has it?"
"That body couldn't be used anymore, so I changed to another one."
Orochimaru's movements were swift.
He was also very helpless.
Although eating what Naruto gave him could alleviate the rejection reaction between his soul and body.
But this thing ultimately couldn't be eradicated, only prolong life.
"Have you never thought about creating a body for yourself?"
"I have, but it's very difficult."
"This war can provide me with a lot of material. I also want to study those two Ōtsutsuki."
"I have no objection."
For Naruto, the Ōtsutsuki corpses didn't have much use.
He just needed to do his own thing.
However, he also knew that these things held a fatal temptation for researchers like Orochimaru.
"This bullfrog is really good. It's my first time seeing these sacred places like Mount Myōbokubeing so subservient."
Orochimaru ate the bullfrog, feeling it tasted great.
"Right? I think so too, and many have been bred."
Naruto chuckled, very pleased.
These things have strong reproductive capabilities, but under the control of Nine-Tailed and Shukaku, they have always moved within a certain range.
They were essentially farmed by them.
There was also beef, lamb, pork, all available.
The quantity of fruits also increased daily with Shukaku's addition.
"By the way, Ghost Grass is very difficult to cultivate, you should use it sparingly."
"Also, if the Living Corpse Reincarnation isn't improved, even if I provide you with resources, your soul will be very difficult to reverse. You have to think it through."
"It's okay, I'll find a way."
Orochimaru ate his fill, let out a long breath, and said with a smile, "After all, I'm reluctant to leave such a good research institute."
"On my way here, I met Sasuke. Seeing his severed hand, I kindly offered to teach him the Living Corpse Reincarnation, but he refused."
Naruto: "…"
He really did have an inexplicable karmic bond with Sasuke.
He sighed inwardly.
Right,
Future Sasuke.
Naruto suddenly thought of something. Borutoshould now have Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki possessing him, ready to revive at any time.
If that Karma activates, it seems it can directly rival the Six Paths.
"I really want to study it. I wonder if I'm the compatible one. I want to catch one and try it out."
Nine-Tailed was suspicious, "How do I feel like you're thinking about something very dangerous?"
"Am I?"
"You are!"
Nine-Tailed scoffed, "I've watched you from five years old until now, don't I know you?"
Orochimaru looked over.
Dangerous things?
What could be dangerous for someone as strong as Naruto?
"Can you tell me?"
"No!"
Naruto was expressionless, shoving Nine-Tailedback in, his expression unchanged: "Keep eating."
Orochimaru: "…"
So brutal.
…
"Oh my, finally some energy."
A lazy yet somewhat mechanical voice echoed around.
Future Sasuke, who was strolling through Konoha Village, changed his expression slightly and pulled out… a turtle from his pocket!
