Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

Deep underground, in a dark lair, the heretic golem stands majestically.

In the open space under the golem, the White Zetsu were playing and frolicking.

At this time, a conspicuous bag suggested: "Hey, let's play the 'ghost' game~. After the 'ghost' catches the opponent, it throws it out, and the opponent will become a new ghost~~!"

Another person chimed in: "Hey, that sounds interesting~!"

"The question is, who will be the first ghost?"

“Hehehe, let’s let the guy who came up with this suggestion come here~!”

"Just do it."

As soon as it finished speaking, Xianyanbao put his hand on its shoulder...

Noisy!

Everything has changed, but it looks like... nothing has changed!

"Now, you are ghost number 2, please~!"

"Ha ha……!"

“Watch this…!!”

Everyone was chasing each other and having a lot of fun.

Obito, wearing a black suit, sat on the bench where Madara used to sit, his hands resting on the backrest, his eyes in the holes of his curly face looking at the playful White Zetsu, and said helplessly: "As always, they are a bunch of noisy guys."

Standing in front of him was the real body of White Zetsu, that is, the one with giant barbs growing from his crotch. Of course... Black Zetsu was also one with him.

Bai Zetsu said, "You asked one of my clones to stay behind to monitor Orochimaru's base in Tianluo Kuni. What's the matter? Why are you suddenly thinking about that disgusting guy Orochimaru?"

Obito withdrew his gaze from the playful White Zetsu and lowered his face.

"On the night when Nagato attacked Konoha, he used the Six Paths Technique of the Rinnegan to control the actions of some puppets. The appearance of one of the puppets really caught my attention."

Bai Zetsu said: "Oh? What kind of guy is he?"

Obito recalled the man who fell next to the masked woman that night, that is... Pain Shura.

He said in a low voice: "If I am not mistaken, that is the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure. According to the intelligence, it was Scorpion who killed him and made him into a human puppet."

"This thing should have belonged to Scorpion... but it was obtained by Nagato. This at least proves that they came into contact with it and something happened."

White Zetsu nodded: "Well, that's true...but what does that have to do with Orochimaru?"

Obito said: "Scorpion has been secretly investigating the whereabouts of Orochimaru. It doesn't matter if Nagato has a relationship with Scorpion, but if... using Scorpion as a link to have a relationship with Orochimaru, then it will be a big problem!"

Bai Jue tilted his head, "I'm not saying, but you're overthinking this, aren't you?"

Obito said: "Even if I think too much, I have to have one more concern... Nagato is a descendant of the Senju, with the orthodox Uzumaki clan bloodline, and Orochimaru's long-term experiments happen to overlap with Nagato's characteristics. If they are connected..."

"Let's talk about the actual risks first, but at least the potential risks do exist."

White Zetsu spread his hands and said, "If Nagato becomes stronger because of this, won't it be more beneficial to us? Tailed Beast hunting can be smoother, and the Samsara Technique can be activated earlier. The progress of the Moon Eye Project will be greatly accelerated~!"

"Ah... maybe so. The stronger he becomes, the better." Obito's eyes darkened. "But the premise is that his power cannot be beyond my control."

"The Samsara Eye is a double-edged sword for us... If he develops a different mind, and I can't suppress him with my power, I will be completely passive."

"So, this year, I can let Nagato go anywhere and even out of my sight... But, the only person I don't want Nagato to have any contact with is Orochimaru, at least, not outside my surveillance range!"

Bai Zetsu scratched his head and said, "I see, that does make sense, but we can't monitor him openly now, because his Samsara Eye can easily detect our presence."

Obito said: "If we can't monitor Nagato, then we can monitor Orochimaru. Not only the one in the Land of Rice Fields, but also all the bases we know of, we should send spies to monitor them."

"Also, expand the search range and find those bases we haven't discovered as soon as possible!"

"Once I see Orochimaru appear, I will personally take action and kill him first..."

"boom!"

At this time, a White Zetsu was thrown out by the "ghost" and hit the Outer Path Demon Statue.

"Idiot, now that you've turned into a ghost, come and catch us!!"

The White Zetsu who turned into a 'ghost' laughed and said, "Hahaha, I'm a little tired of playing ghost games. Let's play hide-and-seek~~~"

“Gugugugugu…!”

As it said that, it dived into the golem and 'swimmed' inside it!

"Haha... You're such an idiot. We can sense each other. Is there any point in playing hide-and-seek?"

"Never mind... let's continue playing ghosts. This time it's my turn to be the 'ghost'!"

Obito said: "Zetu, your clone, what kind of madness has taken place today?"

"Gugugugugu..." White Zetsu, who was 'swimming' on the golem, came to the side of Hashirama's artificial body and began to pull it.

White Zetsu stepped forward and said, "Hey, clone, you can play and make noise, but you can't break that. This is related to our existence."

The clone stopped and said, "Ah, of course I know. It was Madara who cultivated this with the Golem, and that's how we got these byproducts, right?"

White Zetsu's original body said: "That's good to know. Stay away from that."

"Okay." The White Zetsu began to move away.

"Wait." At this time, Obito looked at Hashirama's artificial body faintly, and suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He stood up from his seat and said, "Come down. I have something to ask you."

"Shh!"

His somewhat gloomy tone caused the chattering White Zetsu in the open space to stop.

White Zetsu, who was hanging on the golem, looked a little tired, "Eh? Are you talking about me, Obito?"

"Ah, come down, let me take a closer look at you."

This White Zetsu is almost going crazy!

Because it is number 1! And at this moment, in its palm, it is holding a small piece of flesh from Hashirama's artificial body!

Was I too hasty? In the seven days since I came back, Obito, who was supposed to hang out in Konoha every day, has never left the base. I had no choice but to take the risk.

As expected... doing this under his nose is too risky.

What should I do? I'm about to be discovered. How should I explain my behavior? Should I just say that I got it by accident? What should I do if he uses the Sharingan to detect me?

It's almost hopeless...

Sorry... Nagato-sama, I might be screwing up!

"boom!!"

At this moment, a White Zetsu emerged from the mountain wall and shouted anxiously!

"Hey! Obito, something's happening. It's a terrible situation!"

"A guy suspected to be Orochimaru's henchman named Kabuto Yakushi was spotted in the area around Kannabi Bridge! He was looking for something furtively. What a coincidence! He was right at the place where you were hit by the rock that year!!"

"Crack!!!" In the white hole, the pair of blood-red pupils suddenly burst out with a terrifying glow.

"I'll go and... kill him!"
