Chapter 302: Uchiha Madara: What a Yuyi Xuan Yue!
Chapter 302: Uchiha Madara: What a Yuyi Xuan Yue!
"Lord Madara!"
In a cave far from Konoha, Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Madara with reverence.
Madara glanced coldly at Black Zetsu and crossed his arms, "Explain yourself. Why have I been resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation?"
It was impossible for Konoha to perform this technique on their own, nor would they have access to his DNA sample.
It had to be the doing of Black Zetsu, who was entrusted with his body.
"Apologies, Lord Madara. The plan you entrusted to us has failed. The only way to bring you back to the present is through Impure World Reincarnation," Black Zetsu said guiltily.
"Failed?" Madara frowned, "What of Obito? How did he handle things?"
"Obito is dead."
"Dead?"
Madara's expression darkened as he realized the severity of the situation. "Who killed him?"
With his Rinnegan and Hashirama's cells, Obito was nearly invincible in the ninja world.
Yet, he had been killed, and the perpetrator could only be someone far stronger than him.
Could it be...
"It was Yuyi Xuan Yue!! Lord Madara," Black Zetsu gritted his teeth.
Madara's eyes narrowed as he understood, "So, Yuyi Xuan Yue has truly resurrected. How did he manage that?"
Madara was intrigued by Yuyi Xuan Yue's resurrection.
Black Zetsu shook his head, "All I know is that Yuyi Xuan Yue was resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation during the Chunin Exams. He then broke free from the technique's control and left. The second time he appeared, he obtained a soul-related secret technique from Tsunade. By the third time he showed up, he had successfully resurrected himself, defeated Cloud Village's AB combination in Kami Falls, and severed the Fourth Raikage's arm. The entire resurrection process took less than a month."
"Impure World Reincarnation..."
Madara looked at his hands.
He had been resurrected, yet he had no idea how to proceed with his own revival.
Yuyi Xuan Yue had achieved it, but he couldn't.
The competitive Uchiha Madara felt a strong sense of displeasure.
Noticing the conversation veering off-topic, Black Zetsu quickly steered it back, continuing to complain, "Lord Madara, not only did Obito die at Yuyi Xuan Yue's hands, but Nagato as well! His Rinnegan was taken, along with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and the tailed beasts. They all fell into Yuyi Xuan Yue's possession."
"I don't know how Yuyi Xuan Yue learned about the Moon Eye Plan, but Obito and I were making good progress. Suddenly, he appeared and took all our achievements for himself. Now, he's about to execute the final step of the plan!"
The information Black Zetsu provided was explosive.
Madara snapped back to attention, first startled, then reaching out and grabbing Black Zetsu forcefully, pulling him close. He demanded to hear every detail of what had happened since his death, from Obito and Nagato's involvement to the formation of the Akatsuki. Black Zetsu reluctantly obliged, providing a thorough account of Yuyi Xuan Yue's actions, up to the present, where Yuyi Xuan Yue was about to face off against the Shinobi Alliance.
"Well! What a Yuyi Xuan Yue!"
Madara released Black Zetsu, his expression cold and fierce.
No wonder Hashirama had asked about his eyes looking similar to Yuyi Xuan Yue's before.
So, Yuyi Xuan Yue had taken his Rinnegan and implanted them into himself.
Not only that, but he had also stolen the entirety of his Moon Eye Plan.
How had he never realized Yuyi Xuan Yue was a thief?
No wonder Black Zetsu resorted to resurrecting him through Impure World Reincarnation.
The situation couldn't get any worse.
Without the Rinnegan, his grand resurrection plan was impossible.
And without the Demonic Statue and the tailed beasts, he could only watch as Yuyi Xuan Yue carried out the Moon Eye Plan.
Therefore, Yuyi Xuan Yue carrying out the Moon Eye Plan was something he could never tolerate.
However, Yuyi Xuan Yue was executing the Moon Eye Plan, and this took Uchiha Madara by surprise.
When did Yuyi Xuan Yue become interested in this?
At this moment, Black Zetsu spoke up guiltily, "I'm sorry to have failed you, Madara-sama."
Uchiha Madara glanced at Black Zetsu and waved his hand dismissively. "If the enemy is Yuyi Xuan Yue, it's understandable that you failed."
Uchiha Madara was not one to let things slide easily.
If it had been any other enemy, and Zetsu and Obito had lost despite having all the advantages he had given them, he would have definitely unleashed his wrath on Black Zetsu.
But Yuyi Xuan Yue was different.
Just like Senju Hashirama.
Whether in the past or present, he only acknowledged these two rivals.
As for the others, they were as insignificant as grass and weeds.
In Uchiha Madara's opinion, it was only natural for Obito and Black Zetsu to lose to Yuyi Xuan Yue; it would have been strange if they hadn't.
Of course, acknowledgment didn't lessen his anger.
Yuyi Xuan Yue had taken everything that was rightfully his, and Uchiha Madara was furious about it.
If given the chance, he would gladly send Yuyi Xuan Yue back to the underworld.
"Madara-sama, what should we do now?" Black Zetsu asked, relieved that Madara wasn't blaming him anymore.
Uchiha Madara remained silent.
Usually, given his personality, he would have directly confronted Yuyi Xuan Yue, eliminated him, and taken back what was his.
But now...
Even though Black Zetsu didn't explicitly say it, from what Madara had seen earlier, not only were there a large number of ninjas gathered in Konoha, but Hashirama, as well as the Kage of the Five Great Shinobi Villages from different generations, had all been reanimated with the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
For Konoha, which inherited the Will of Fire and put on a righteous front, to be pushed to such a desperate situation, one could only imagine how powerful Yuyi Xuan Yue had become.
The current Uchiha Madara, reanimated with the Impure World Reincarnation technique, stood no chance against Yuyi Xuan Yue.
Unless he was truly resurrected.
However, the Rinnegan was now in Yuyi Xuan Yue's possession, and taking it back wouldn't be easy.
Uchiha Madara glanced at Black Zetsu.
Perhaps he would need to utilize this guy's abilities soon.
In front of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the jinchuriki of the Two-Tails slowly descended from the air as the last trace of its tailed beast's chakra was extracted.
At the top of the statue, the last eye had fully opened.
Although it was missing half of the Nine-Tails' chakra, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, with eight and a half eyes open, exuded an aura unlike any other time.
The chains wrapped around its body rattled, and the statue now emanated an even more imposing and heart-shaking presence.
Additionally, the collective chakra of the tailed beasts within its body, an unprecedentedly massive amount that even felt like it had reached another level of power, caused even Yuyi Xuan Yue to feel a sense of oppression.
Yuyi Xuan Yue was aware that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, now containing eight and a half tailed beasts, had met the conditions to evolve into the Ten-Tails.
Whether it was an illusion or not, a voice in his heart seemed to tempt him, and Yuyi Xuan Yue suddenly felt a strong urge to become the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails.
However, he quickly suppressed this impulse and calmly looked at the enticing Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, saying, "It's not time yet."
The earlier he became the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, the sooner he would be closely connected to Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of the chakra, and risk her influencing him.
To avoid any interference from Kaguya and to ensure the success of his plan to gather the chakra of the planet, Yuyi Xuan Yue needed to minimize the time he spent as the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails.
Yuyi Xuan Yue pushed down his urgency, averted his gaze from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and turned his attention to the outside world.
"Now, there's just one last piece of the puzzle missing."
