I'm Uzumaki Naruto, I don't need approval

Chapter 284 284. Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha

"Black Zetsu, Zetsu?"

Nagato was obviously stunned. He couldn't imagine that the person Naruto considered the most dangerous was not himself, Obito, or Madara Uchiha, but Zetsu, who had no existence in the Akatsuki organization.

Naruto raised a smile and continued: "Nagato, I once told you that most of the White Zetsu driven by Obito came from humans who were possessed by the Infinite Tsukuyomi thousands of years ago, but have you ever thought about it? But why haven’t there been any records about Bai Jue in the past thousand years? Where have they gone?”

"Who controlled them before Obito controlled them?"

"It's Black Zetsu!" Nagato learned to answer quickly, but was immediately frightened by his own words.

If Black Zetsu has really lived in the ninja world for thousands of years, he is indeed more terrifying than Obito and Uchiha Madara. No one knows how many arrangements Black Zetsu has made in the past thousand years, and how much is hidden in his body. trump card.

I'm afraid that Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Obito are just pawns of Black Zetsu.

After sending Nagato out of the room, Naruto wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and looked at the dark night scene outside the window, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

It is not difficult for him to stop Uchiha Madara from collecting tailed beasts.

But it was easy to defeat Uchiha Madara, but it was quite difficult to find Uchiha Madara. He also did not grasp the movements of the tailed beasts of Iwagakure and Kumogakure. As for Longgakure's seven tails, he had already been captured by Uchiha Madara.

Instead of searching aimlessly for Uchiha Madara, it would be better to wait for Uchiha Madara to come to him on his own initiative.

Moreover, his biggest enemy is not Uchiha Madara, but Ishiki, who is currently hiding in an unknown dimension, and the aloof Six Paths Sage.

When necessary, he would also consider collecting the nine tailed beasts and become the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki.

According to the memory left by Uranashi, the combat power of the Ten-Tailed Jinchuuriki is not weak among the Otsutsuki family, so to a certain extent, Uchiha Madara's behavior is also a disguised form of collecting tailed beasts for him.

Putting back his thoughts that were gradually diverging, Naruto looked at the nine tails and other tailed beasts in his body, and began his daily practice.

Early next morning.

This remote town in the Land of Fire welcomed a new guest. Shisui and Naruto's strongest shadow clones appeared on the first floor of the hotel with the dragon vein core.

Naruto put away the dragon vein core and shook his head secretly.

He originally planned to stay in Konoha for a while, but the plan could not keep up with the change. Obito and Black Zetsu unexpectedly resurrected Uchiha Madara in advance, forcing him to leave Konoha and accept Nagato, Konan and Kisame as subordinates.

Next, we can only take Nagato and the others, Kakashi and Sasuke back to Uzushio Village.

Shisui, who had just arrived, was also very confused. How many days had he left Konoha? Why did the leader of the Akatsuki organization join Uzushio Village? Menma-sama is indeed Menma-sama, and his strength is unfathomable.

However, Shisui was more concerned about Sasuke's defeat of Itachi Uchiha.

After seeing Uchiha Itachi with his eyes wrapped in bandages, and hearing the details of the battle between Sasuke and Itachi, Shisui's eyes were extremely solemn, and there were many things he wanted to say to Uchiha Itachi in his heart, which finally turned into a sigh.

He didn't know what he was feeling, whether it was hatred, anger, or pity for this once close friend.

However, Shisui strongly agreed that Uchiha Itachi needed to accept the trial of the entire clan. All Uchiha must participate in this matter, and no one can be absent.

…

A few days later, Naruto and his party arrived in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

Compared with a few months ago, the Kingdom of Whirlpool is much more prosperous. What was originally a small fishing village port has now become a prosperous city, with neat roads everywhere and high-rise buildings reaching into the sky.

This made Kakashi and Sasuke, who had only seen short houses, feel like country people entering the city.

They originally thought that the Land of Fire was the richest place in the ninja world.

Looking at the rosy-faced people of the Uzumaki Country, Nagato couldn't help but think of the group of sallow and skinny civilians in the country.

Under the governance of Nagato and Konan, although people in the Rain Country did not starve to death, there was not enough oil and water in the food. This was due to the favorable geographical environment. After all, the Rain Country was not suitable for farming and grazing.

Naturally, it cannot be compared with Uzushio Village, which is located in the Country of Waves, Country of Uzumaki and Country of Sichuan, and has advantages in maritime trade.

According to Nagato's inquiry, the reason why Uzushio Village is so wealthy is that it uses chakra to produce chakra and attracts many scientific researchers among ordinary people to conduct research in the civilian field.

These insights allowed Nagato and Konan to find the direction of future development, but they cannot return to the Land of Rain for the time being.

It didn't take long for Naruto and his party to arrive at Uzushio Village from the port.

Compared with the port area, this is more like a military town. Not only is entry and exit strictly controlled, but there are also chakra cameras everywhere, which makes Kakashi and Sasuke a little uncomfortable.

Seeing Sasuke's doubts, Naruto smiled and said: "Uzushio Village is a military station, so it will naturally be more serious. I have always felt that the existence of Konoha is a bit unreasonable. As a military institution, how can a Ninja Village mix with ordinary people? How about living together?"

"The Ninja Village should be a place where orders and prohibitions are enforced and no interference from other factors is allowed."

After leading a group of people to the military area, Naruto first asked the shadow clone to stay and introduce Uzumaki Village to Nagato and others, and then the main body led Sasuke and others to the neighborhood where Uchiha gathered.

Seeing the familiar house number and Uchiha's last name, Sasuke's nose felt a little sore.

Seven years had passed since the Uchiha Night, and he was finally able to see his relatives.

At this time, the ninjas in the Uchiha gathering area also noticed the presence of Naruto and Shisui. After saying hello to Naruto, they noticed Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi sitting in a wheelchair, with doubts in their eyes.

"Lord Shisui, who are these two?"

Shisui took a deep breath, and then said: "This is Sasuke, and the one in the wheelchair is Uchiha Itachi. Sasuke defeated Uchiha Itachi and brought Uchiha Itachi back."

Upon hearing Uchiha Itachi, the Uchiha ninja's expression suddenly darkened. It was not until he heard Uchiha Itachi's defeat that he softened a lot.

Like Uchiha Madara decades ago, Uchiha Itachi's name is also taboo within the clan. The former led to Uchiha being targeted by Konoha, and the latter even aimed the butcher knife at the clan members.

"Lord Shisui!" The Uchiha ninja was about to say something, but was stopped by Shisui.

Then, Shisui looked at Sasuke and Naruto behind him, and then said: "Not far ahead is Mikoto-senpai's mansion. There are still some things in the clan that I need to deal with, so I'll excuse you for now."

Sasuke and Itachi roughly guessed the reason for Shisui's absence, but their mother was not far ahead, and they had no intention of thinking about other things. They just wanted to see Uchiha Mikoto as soon as possible.
