Kuragami Uchiha sighed softly: "What is wrong with this world? Why does this tragedy happen again and again? When will there be true peace in this world?"
At this moment, just a few meters under Kuragami Uchiha's feet, a figure with a black body suddenly stopped moving.
Three days ago, when Obito Uchiha turned into a stone statue and shattered, Black Zetsu was extremely desperate.
In order to save his mother, who was sealed by her two filial brothers, Black Zetsu has been working hard for thousands of years. More than ten years ago, the moment when Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan was born was the closest he had ever been to success in these years.
However, after Madara Uchiha planned everything and fell into an eternal sleep, everything added many variables.
First of all, Nagato, as the carrier of the Rinnegan, has gradually deviated from the track. He seemed unwilling to carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Instead, his intention was to use the power of the tailed beasts to make the world experience pain, thus realizing the value of peace. He planned to act as a god to deter the Great Shinobi Villages, which was completely contrary to the Eye of the Moon Plan.
Fortunately, Obito Uchiha, the backup left by Madara Uchiha to control Nagato, has never been out of his control.
But just three days ago, Obito died because of a momentary impulse!
Although Black Zetsu still doesn't know why Obito, who possesses the Uchiha Clan's most powerful life-saving Visual Jutsu, Kamui, and Izanagi as a life-saving backup, died so easily in the hands of Kuragami Uchiha.
But when he saw Obito Uchiha turned into a stone statue and shattered into slag, Black Zetsu's heart was broken.
After scheming for a thousand years, the plan that was closest to success just ended like that!
However, after recovering from the shock, Black Zetsu got busy once again.
So what if he failed? How many times had he failed over the years? As long as he could rescue his mother, what did a little setback matter? This time, he was already so close to success; next time, he was sure he would succeed.
With this in mind, Black Zetsu made a new plan. The first step was to hide and wait until Nagato and Kuragami, who had crushed his plan, reached the end of their lifespans.
At that time, he would reclaim the Rinnegan and make a long-term plan, and today, the reason why he came to the Uchiha Clan's cemetery was to collect some of Itachi Uchiha's DNA.
Decades ago, a top genius named Tobirama Senju appeared in the Shinobi World. He created a technique that could connect the human world and the Pure Land, the Impure World Reincarnation.
Upon learning about this jutsu, Black Zetsu immediately set his sights on it. It could be said that, during that period, he spent almost all his time underground beneath Tobirama's lab.
Because of this, he discovered that the jutsu required the DNA of the person to be summoned in order to succeed.
Although the jutsu was later recorded in the Scroll of Seals and Black Zetsu had not had a chance to see it yet, he knew that he would eventually get the opportunity. The one thing he had in abundance was time.
Therefore, to prepare for the future, he came to the cemetery of the Uchiha Clan, but he had just started to work, and the appearance of Kuragami Uchiha scared him half to death.
Over the years, Black Zetsu has also seen many people practice the Sage Mode and knows that their perception ability is terrible in this state.
Although Kuragami Uchiha did not turn on the Sage Mode at this moment, what if Kuragami Uchiha wanted to practice the Sage Mode here on a whim? Black Zetsu did not dare to gamble.
Therefore, the moment Kuragami Uchiha appeared, Black Zetsu wanted to run away.
However, what Kuragami Uchiha said in front of Itachi Uchiha's grave made Black Zetsu stop in his tracks.
"When will there be true peace in this world?"
'Wait a minute, my plan seems to be saved?'
Kuragami Uchiha's words were undoubtedly heavenly music to Black Zetsu.
'I knew it! These psychopathic descendants of Indra will start to think about world peace when they become strong enough! Mother! I will rescue you soon!'
Black Zetsu suppressed the urge to jump out and fool Kuragami Uchiha right now.
He knew that Kuragami Uchiha was different from the traditional Uchiha.
The fact that Kuragami deduced Obito's identity from mere traces alone made it clear to Black Zetsu that he couldn't just make up some random excuses like he did with Uchiha Madara and expect Kuragami to believe them easily. Everything would need careful planning.
… … …
Kuragami Uchiha waited for a while, and when he saw that Black Zetsu had not jumped out immediately, he sighed and wondered.
Did he act too much just now?'
That's right. Kuragami Uchiha came to the cemetery in the middle of the night not just to visit Itachi Uchiha's grave but also to fish out Black Zetsu.
However, Kuragami Uchiha didn't have any idea of eliminating Black Zetsu.
On the contrary, he was very interested in Black Zetsu's plan.
After all, Kuragami knew that there would be a large number of alien invasions in the Shinobi World in the future, and the best way to fight aliens was to become an alien himself.
Therefore, Kuragami Uchiha absolutely agreed to release Kaguya.
It's just that Black Zetsu didn't take the bait immediately, which made Kuragami Uchiha a little regretful.
… … …
The next day, with Kakashi's nomination and Hiruzen Sarutobi's cooperation, the election of the Fifth Hokage Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire officially began.
Kuragami Uchiha lived up to expectations and won all the votes of the village's Jonin, becoming the only candidate for the Fifth Hokage Hokage of the village.
Hiruzen Sarutobi did not delay and sent a messenger to deliver the voting results to the capital on the same day. At this point, the only thing left for Kuragami Uchiha to officially become the Fifth Hokage was to go through the formality of receiving the Daimyo's approval.
In order to celebrate this good news, Kuragami Uchiha held a small banquet.
After the banquet, when Kuragami Uchiha returned home, a piece of letter on the desk caught his attention.
'Want to bring true peace to the Shinobi World? Then come to the basement of Naka Shrine.'
When Kuragami Uchiha saw this letter, he smiled in his heart. It seems that the previous attempt was successful.
However, in order to prevent Black Zetsu from peeping, Kuragami Uchiha forced himself not to show his smile and called Keiko Uchiha.
"Sister Keiko, has anyone been to this room today?"
"No, did something happen?" Keiko Uchiha asked.
"No, I think I remembered it wrong." Kuragami Uchiha said.
