It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

After a while, the Zetsu who had been lurking in the dark appeared in front of Sasuke and Itachi who were lying in the ruins.

"Itachi is dead."

White Zetsu could no longer sense Itachi's life, and he asked his other half, Black Zetsu, "What should we do next?"

"Just like the previous plan, you go inform Afei and tell him about the battle between Itachi and Sasuke."

After thinking for a while, Black Zetsu made a decision.

"Aren't you going?"

"In the previous duel between Itachi and Sasuke, an unexpected third party intervened... Since a third party appeared, it means that this place is not safe."

If there is a third party, there is no guarantee that a fourth party will not appear.

"Ah, you mean the little girl from the Uzumaki clan." Bai Zetsu sensed it briefly and his tone became surprised: "That girl is still alive, and she was not caught in the lightning escape that Sasuke just performed."

Having said this, White Zetsu asked Black Zetsu's opinion again: "Should we kill her?"

"That woman has a sealing technique that can suppress the Nine-Tails. Perhaps we can use it. Let's tell Ah Fei the information and let him make the decision."

"I see."

After receiving instructions from Black Zetsu, White Zetsu stretched out his hand, grabbed the white half of his head, and tore himself and Black Zetsu apart with his hands.

The original black and white Zetsu became the independent White Zetsu and Black Zetsu.

White Zetsu became a single individual and escaped underground, moving towards the forest to pass on information.

As for Black Zetsu...

He came to Sasuke.

Unlike Itachi, Sasuke is still alive.

Although he couldn't change the fact that he was on the verge of death, Sasuke still had a breath left to sustain his life.

Black Zetsu was not surprised at Sasuke's tenacious vitality.

After all, Uchiha Sasuke is the owner of the "Indra" Chakra in this life.

But Sasuke is still alive, which may not be a good thing for Black Zetsu.

Normally speaking, Kuro would never allow himself to interfere with Indra and Ashura's chakra successors too soon.

This pair of brothers who inherited the bloodline of the Six Paths Sage have completely opposite philosophies, and their chakras perfectly replicate this situation in choosing their successors.

Black Zetsu only needs to appear at the critical moment to deepen the rift between the heirs' ideologies.

This was the case with the previous generation's Indra and Ashura's chakra owners - Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. They were born in opposing families, and after countless fights, they opposed, understood, and then became unable to identify with each other.

This situation has been repeated without any surprise for thousands of years, and Black Zetsu has become a little tired of it.

But this time, the owner of the "Ashura" chakra in this life corresponding to Sasuke... is too strange.

Uzumaki Naruto, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is the owner of the "Asura" Chakra corresponding to Sasuke, who has the "Indra" Chakra.

Naruto has a very different personality from previous Ashura Chakra owners.

The extreme nature deep within Naruto's heart even surpasses that of the owner of Indra's Chakra, who is more easily affected by external factors.

But in this situation, Naruto and Sasuke, Ashura and Indra actually joined forces.

This is not a good sign, at least Hei Jue will not like it.

The appearance of Naruto made Black Zetsu feel the lack of control over the situation for the first time in a long time.

Even Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu had never had this feeling.

But it’s also easy to deal with this matter.

All we need to do is let Indra or Asura's chakra re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

This is not the first time that Black Zetsu has done this. For thousands of years, he has been instigating the Ashuras and Indra Chakra owners to break up.

It was not until decades ago that Black Zetsu found the person who could "perfectly" execute Black Zetsu's inner plans, Uchiha Madara, the owner of Indra Chakra.

Black Zetsu's original form doesn't actually have that much power, but facing the current Sasuke, even he can easily take Sasuke's life.

Black Zetsu is facing Sasuke's relentless pressure at this moment, and it only takes a thought for Black Zetsu to end Sasuke's life.

But just as Black Zetsu and White Zetsu said before...

The fourth person suddenly broke into the ruins.

The person appeared in front of him without any warning.

Black Zetsu suddenly looked at the uninvited visitor.

I'm really afraid of whatever comes next.

Uzumaki Naruto!

Shouldn't he be fighting Kisame? !

Even the battle between Kisame and Naruto was moving in the opposite direction of the battle between Sasuke and Itachi!

Black Zetsu is afraid that Naruto will cooperate with the chakra owners of Sasuke's Six Paths brothers in this life and continue to affect the progress of the "Moon Eye" plan.

Naruto simply appeared in front of Sasuke at this moment.

Black Zetsu was stunned.

Space-time instant body movement techniques like Flying Thunder God are too restraining for a perception-type ninja like him. When Naruto's chakra was sensed by Black Zetsu, it meant that Black Zetsu was already in danger!

Sensing that something was wrong, Black Zetsu hurriedly tried to escape underground.

But Black Zetsu's brief moment of distraction gave Naruto enough time to be prepared and use ninjutsu on Black Zetsu.

Several glowing chains formed by condensing chakra wrapped around Black Zetsu several times, restraining him tightly.

The powerful sealing technique prevented Black Zetsu from changing his body shape and escaping the scene, which was in a bad situation for Black Zetsu.

"Can you please...stay away from Sasuke?"

Naruto pulled the chain slightly, but Black Zetsu felt a huge force pulling him away from Sasuke!

Black Zetsu felt the chains wrapped around him in horror: "Vajra Lock?!"

The chakra chain that restrained Black Zetsu was held in Naruto's hand.

Naruto first glanced at Sasuke, confirming the fact that Sasuke was still alive.

"The Uzumaki clan's sealing technique?! No! If you can also use the Diamond Sealing Technique, why do you have to keep that girl named Karin by your side all the time!"

Black Zetsu looked at Naruto in amazement as he was performing the "Vajra Seal". Naruto could actually use the Diamond Seal by himself!

Black is unbelievable.

But Black Zetsu's performance was something that Naruto expected.

Regarding what happened when Kakuzu and Hidan died, it seems that Black Zetsu had already figured out the information through White Zetsu.

Even the fact that Karin used the Diamond Seal to block Sakura's punch towards Naruto was clearly visible.

For the ninja world that was unaware of the existence of the technique of disguise, it was an inevitable result that the complete information would be stolen by White Zetsu.

Having the ability to completely transform into someone else is indeed a tricky intelligence gathering ninjutsu.

No one would be wary of a "spy" who could even completely copy ninjutsu and chakra.

The art of disguise always allows Jue to obtain the most core and authentic information from various ninja villages.

In the Fourth Ninja World War in the original work, White Zetsu severely disrupted the rear of the Allied Ninja Forces with this miraculous transformation technique.

But what if someone took advantage of this the other way around?

For example, Naruto who knows the original plot.

Did Sakura's attack on Naruto really require Karin to use the Diamond Seal to rescue Naruto?

He protected Karin during the battle, and immediately allowed Karin to perform the Diamond Seal after she displayed the Tailed Beast Coat and fought against Team 3.

It was all Naruto's intention.

Sixteen years ago, the Nine-Tails Rebellion was "stopped" by the Fourth Hokage. Uzumaki Kushina used her dying body to suppress the intact Nine-Tails with the Diamond Seal, buying time for the Fourth Hokage to perform the Shiki Fuujin and re-seal the Nine-Tails.

The Uzumaki clan's potential to suppress the tailed beasts was once again verified by example sixteen years ago.

Not only the top leaders of Konoha knew this, but Zetsu, who liberated the Nine-Tails together with Obito... knew it as well.

Therefore, after Naruto eliminated the Immortal Duo, he had such a "information leak" battle with the people of Konoha.

It is important to seize the Mangekyō Sharingan of Uchiha Obito that is possessed by Kakashi during the battle.

But conveying false information to Konoha...or to "Zetu" is equally important to Naruto.

Uzumaki Naruto can control the Nine-Tails, but he cannot control it alone.

She needs the help of Karin, a comrade who uses the Diamond Seal and a surviving member of the Uzumaki clan.

This was the information Naruto had been passing on.

He misled everyone with his actions time and time again - no, it couldn't be considered misleading, Naruto really didn't know the Diamond Seal - but he never said that he didn't know how to use the Diamond Seal.

Vajra seal.

Keeping Karin's chakra in the body and using it when necessary.

Apart from Naruto and Karin, no one else knew the details.

Even in the Land of Snow, Naruto would let Karin use the Diamond Seal to protect Fuuka Koyuki, who knew a lot about Naruto and Karin's secrets.

Naruto used the Diamond Sealing Seal independently to suppress the Nine-Tails in the consciousness space in the process of snatching the Nine-Tails' Chakra.

This is also a move that Naruto specially prepared for Black Zetsu.

Therefore, facing White Zetsu's terrifying intelligence-gathering ability, for Naruto, the fewer people who know about the Diamond Seal, the better.

Karin will not betray Naruto.

However, the Nine-Tailed Fox, which has been entangled with the Kongo Seal since it was sealed, might reveal information out of resentment.

But how could Black Zetsu contact the Nine-Tails from Naruto’s consciousness space?

Just like how Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki deposited their chakra in Naruto's Bagua Seal.

Naruto also uses similar means to store Karin's chakra in his body. As long as Naruto still has Karin's chakra in his body, he can rely on this chakra to perform the Diamond Seal.

The result is what it is now.

Everything went smoothly.

Uchiha Itachi died at the hands of Sasuke.

Naruto took the initiative to ask Karin to interfere with Sasuke's revenge, and he took the initiative to fight against Hoshigaki Kisame and deliberately "stayed away from" Sasuke in the battle with Hoshigaki Kisame.

All of this is to relax Black Zetsu's vigilance.

Using the Vajra Seal to restrain Black Zetsu is only the first step.

Black Zetsu was born as the result of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's last struggle before she was sealed by her two children. Although it did not inherit Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's power like Hamura Ōtsutsuki and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.

The difficulty should not be underestimated.

Naruto maintained the diamond-sealed chakra chain with one hand, and formed the Genin seal with the other.

Naruto's shadow clone appeared in front of Black Zetsu with Hoshigaki Kisame, who was trapped in an illusion and obeyed Naruto's orders.

The King Kong Blockade will ensure that Black Zetsu cannot escape or put up an effective resistance.

The second step is... the Demonic Seal.

Si, Hai, Wei, Mao, Xu, Zi, You, Wu, Si.

Naruto's shadow clone completed the nine seals in an instant, and behind the shadow clone with his hands clasped together, an ethereal white god of death appeared.

The god of death who appeared behind the shadow clone stretched out his hand and was about to stab into the shadow clone's body to complete the first step of the sacrifice.

But at the moment when the god of death's hand was about to touch the shadow clone, Naruto cancelled the shadow clone, and the god of death's incorporeal hand passed through the body of Hoshigaki Kisame who was originally standing in front of the shadow clone.

The contract ritual appeared on Hoshigaki Kisame's abdomen.

Naruto's shadow clone summoned the God of Death, and when the God of Death and the caster completed the contract to trade souls, the use of the Shiki Fuujin officially began.

Naruto used a similar cheating method to transfer the price of the contract between the caster and the god of death to Hoshigaki Kisame.

Naruto does not have to bear the cost of using the Shiki Fuujin, and the God of Death will seal the souls of Hoshigaki Kisame and Black Zetsu together in the Prajna Mask.

In just a moment, the god of death had completed its duty and left this world.

The body of Hoshigaki Kisame fell in the ruins, and his soul and Black Zetsu were taken into the mask of Prajna by the god of death.

Naruto simply cleaned up the messy battlefield.

He placed the bodies of Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame into the sealing scroll.

Finally, he carried the dying and unconscious Sasuke on his shoulders.

"You also planted the Flying Thunder God's mark on Uchiha Sasuke..."

At the same moment, Obito, wearing an "Akatsuki" uniform and a spiral mask, distorted space and appeared in front of Naruto.

If it was the Flying Thunder God Technique, Naruto would naturally arrive at this already ruined battlefield faster than Obito.

He glanced around the battlefield and asked in a deep voice, "Where is Itachi's body?"

The three-magatama Sharingan under Obito's mask stared at Naruto. Not to mention Itachi, even Black Zetsu was nowhere to be seen.

Obito felt really uncomfortable with the feeling of having his plans disrupted.

He had been preparing for such a long time, but all the spoils were inexplicably intercepted by Naruto.

Uchiha Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan, and Shisui's Kotoamatsukami...

No need to think, they are all on Naruto now.

Well at least...

Obito's gaze shifted slightly from Naruto to Sasuke who was on Naruto's shoulder.

At this moment, the distance between Obito and Naruto was not too far, in fact a little close.

This is exactly the distance range that Obito's right eye can absorb.

Kamui began to absorb Sasuke, but the next moment, Obito lost his target from sight.

"It's Flying Thunder God again..."

Obito muttered to himself.

Obviously Naruto also noticed Obito's intention, and before Kamui actually absorbed Sasuke, he used Flying Thunder God to leave Obito's sight.

Obito did not chase the fleeing Naruto. Only Naruto, the caster of the spell, knew where the Flying Thunder God landed.

It is too unrealistic to want to find Naruto who escaped using Flying Thunder God.

Obito just stared at the place where Naruto disappeared, and was obviously lost in thought. The last person who could use Flying Thunder God to avoid the absorption of Kamui had been dead for sixteen years...

……

……

"Whoa!"

On the other side, behind the Four Sound Ninjas, the sound of Hozuki Suigetsu falling was heard.

"Hey! What are you doing? We have already slowed down our movement speed because of you! I don't need to remind you again and again that we need to get back to town as soon as possible!"

Sakon and Ukon turned around and shouted at Hozuki Suigetsu.

But soon, Sakon and Ukon realized that they had misunderstood Suigetsu Kizuki.

Although the two huge ninja swords were very heavy, Hozuki Suigetsu could still barely bear them.

But with the weight of the two ninja swords pressing on Suigetsu Hozuki, and the sudden appearance of three more people, it is normal for Suigetsu Hozuki to fall down.

"Sasuke-sama!"

The four Sound Ninjas exclaimed in unison.

Naruto was standing on the back of Suigetsu Hozuki who had fallen to the ground.

Naruto carried the seriously injured and unconscious Sasuke on his shoulders.

He held Karin, who was sleeping soundly and not seriously injured, in his arms around her waist.
