Using Killer Bee as a medium, the Eight-Tails infused its chakra, containing its own spirit and will, into the bodies of the Hidden Lightning Village ninjas who were trapped in nightmares, in an attempt to find out why the Hidden Lightning Village ninjas could not wake up.
Upon merging with it, the Eight-Tails sensed an unknown and extremely malicious terrifying power.
Even the Eight-Tails couldn't help but feel a little fear when it sensed this terrifying power.
But the Eight-Tails, being well-informed and confident in its own strength, did not hesitate to delve into sensing that unknown, terrifying power.
The next moment, the Eight-Tails saw the source of that unknown and terrifying power.
In the eyes of the Eight-Tails, it was an unknown creature shrouded in black mist, its form and appearance indescribable.
Eight-tailed Fox was certain that it had never seen or heard of this unknown creature before.
The Eight-Tails also knew that this unknown creature was the reason why the Hidden Lightning Village ninjas could not regain their senses.
With a solemn expression, the Eight-Tails used its mental will to control its chakra, attempting to directly disperse the unknown creature.
At that moment, the unknown creature suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the Eight-Tails' spiritual chakra with its eyes made of black mist.
Immediately, the Eight-Tails felt an indescribable, terrifying malice, accompanied by a life-level pressure that crashed down upon it.
Immediately afterwards, the Eight-Tails' spiritual will and chakra, without any resistance, vanished without a trace.
Fear suddenly surged from the Eight-Tails' heart, instantly engulfing its entire body, causing it to desperately push its body deeper into the seal, as if only in this way could it feel safe.
Killer Bee sensed the Eight-Tails' unusual behavior and, in surprise, couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Eight-Tails, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, A and the other high-ranking members of the Hidden Lightning Village who were waiting nearby also turned their attention to Killer Bee, wanting to know relevant information.
At this moment, the Eight-Tails, completely consumed by fear, wouldn't answer Killer Bee's question at all, only muttering to itself, "Terrifying... Evil... Monster... Black Mist..."
Killer Bee sensed the state of the Eight-Tails and listened to its fearful murmurs. His mind trembled, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
It's important to understand that this isn't the Eight-Tails, which stands at the top of the Tailed Beasts and is second only to the Nine-Tails.
Even when facing the Nine-Tails, the Eight-Tails wouldn't react like this. Killer Bee really can't imagine what the Eight-Tails saw or what kind of fright it experienced to become like this.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Killer Bee told A and the other high-ranking members of the Hidden Lightning Village everything he had sensed.
Faced with this, Ai and the other high-ranking members of Raihime Village exchanged bewildered glances, and a sense of fear welled up within them.
They never imagined that such a monster existed, one that would terrify even the Eight-Tails.
Furthermore, they couldn't help but wonder if the Eight-Tails' reaction meant that this monster was far stronger than them.
At that moment, Ai seemed to realize something, his expression suddenly changed, and he unconsciously said, "Could this mysterious black mist monster be the darkness that Konoha spoke of?"
Killer Bee and the other high-ranking members of Raigakure were taken aback upon hearing this; they had to admit that the possibility was very high.
One of the high-ranking members of Raihime Village couldn't help but speak up, "I think it's very necessary to contact Konoha now and try to extract information about the darkness from them."
"If it is confirmed that the darkness Konoha speaks of is indeed that mysterious black mist monster, then we will have no choice but to consider forming an alliance with Konoha."
The other high-ranking members of Raihime Village expressed their support for the proposal.
As for why they didn't directly inform Konoha about the black mist monster, it was because they weren't sure if the darkness Konoha was referring to was the mysterious black mist monster.
If not, then Konoha might very well take advantage of the situation to set a trap for Raikou.
Time passed, and several more days went by. Within Konoha Village, Zetsu obtained important intelligence through reconnaissance.
This information astonished Jue Du, who exclaimed, "The Great Toad Sage's prophecy of darkness, an unprecedented crisis, has even reached the point where we must rely on the power of the dead..."
"No, we must tell everyone this immediately..."
Meanwhile, one of Zetsu's other bodies, namely Black Zetsu, had a different idea.
'This is an opportunity; we can use this chance to guide Konoha to revive Uchiha Madara...'
'But we haven't collected all the tailed beasts yet, and the conditions for reviving Mother are still lacking. Should we revive Uchiha Madara now?'
Neither White Zetsu nor Black Zetsu noticed that after they left, a figure was secretly watching them from the side.
That figure was Chen Anxia.
After watching Jue leave, Chen Anxia's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he murmured, "Kaguya Otsutsuki, perhaps reviving her is a good option..."
As she spoke, Chen Anxia's lips curled up slightly, and she continued, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a gift, Black Zetsu..."
......
Chapter 620 The Factor of Chaos, Madara Uchiha's Return!
In a dark cave, a pair of hands were rapidly forming hand seals.
Yin, Si, Xu, Chen...
Finally, he clasped his hands together and slammed them onto the ground, uttering a soft shout: "Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"
With this soft shout, an unknown and invisible portal appeared above the Impure World Reincarnation formation, connecting to the legendary Pure Land.
Within the Pure Land, a slumbering soul, as if drawn and summoned, gradually flew towards that portal.
During this process, the impure earth surged wildly from the container that served as the vessel for the Impure Earth Reincarnation, enveloping it.
The next moment, the filthy soil covering the container gradually transformed into the shape of a person.
This person was none other than Uchiha Madara.
After being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation technique, the first thing Madara Uchiha did was look at his hands, feeling his current state, and murmured, "Is this the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and not the Rinne Rebirth technique?"
As he spoke, Madara Uchiha turned his gaze to the figure beside him who had been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and asked, "Who are you? Why did you resurrect me using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"
Upon hearing this, the figure, Chen Anxia, couldn't help but laugh and say, "Who I am is unimportant. As for why I resurrected you using the Impure World Reincarnation technique..."
After a slight pause, Chen Anxia continued, "It's because the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, was also resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."
"I think he would be very lonely without you, his nemesis."
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha gave Chen Anxia a deep look. He knew that Chen Anxia was definitely not telling the truth.
Immediately, Madara Uchiha narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You're right. If it weren't for me, Hashirama would be very lonely."
Chen Anxia knew what Uchiha Madara was thinking, but she didn't care. Instead, she said, "I haven't put any restrictions on you. You are free to act according to your own will."
With that, Chen Anxia used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave, leaving behind the words, "I look forward to hearing news of you from the ninja world, Uchiha Madara."
Watching Chen Anxia disappear, Madara Uchiha frowned, muttering, "Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique..."
"This guy must have some connection to Konoha, but why did he resurrect me using the Impure World Reincarnation technique? Isn't he afraid I'll destroy Konoha?"
"Also, how did this guy know the location of my corpse?"
Besides these, many other questions arose in Madara Uchiha's mind, leaving him completely perplexed.
However, Madara Uchiha didn't think too much about it and instead planned to find Zetsu to find out what was going on.
Madara Uchiha and Zetsu had a special way of connecting.
Therefore, Madara Uchiha quickly made contact with Zetsu.
When Zetsu learned that Madara Uchiha had been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.
Clearly, no one expected that Madara Uchiha would be resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique.
At the same time, he had no idea why anyone other than himself was able to find Madara Uchiha's body.
With a shaken heart and many doubts, Zetsu met with Uchiha Madara.
After meeting, Zetsu suppressed his turbulent emotions and told Madara Uchiha about the current situation in the ninja world and everything he knew.
As Madara Uchiha listened to Zetsu's account, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Madara Uchiha understood Hashirama Senju and knew that if Hashirama Senju was taking such a grand and elaborate action, then the rumors about darkness must be true.
Madara Uchiha simply couldn't understand what kind of darkness would force Hashirama Senju to consider using the power of the dead to fight against it.
As he pondered, Madara Uchiha seemed to have realized something, muttering to himself, "Could it be... Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki?"
From the stone tablet left by the Sage of Six Paths at the Naka Shrine, Madara Uchiha learned about Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki.
In Madara Uchiha's view, only this Goddess of the Rabbit could possibly be the source of the darkness prophesied by the Great Toad Sage.
Black Zetsu was secretly startled when he heard Madara Uchiha say his mother's name.
But Black Zetsu, who knew Madara Uchiha very well, immediately understood his thoughts and his mind began to work.
After confirming the darkness, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but laugh and say, "Although Kaguya Otsutsuki is powerful, as long as I obtain the power belonging to the Sage of Six Paths, I will be completely fearless against her."
Black Zetsu could only look at Madara Uchiha with the eyes of someone who had just lost their mind.
Then, as if remembering something, Madara Uchiha asked, "By the way, did you arrange for the person who resurrected me using Edo Tensei?"
Of course, Zetsu knew what Uchiha Madara meant, and directly shook his head and replied, "It wasn't me. I didn't tell anyone where your body was, and I don't know who resurrected you with Edo Tensei."
As if remembering something, Zetsu continued, "However, currently, the only ninjas in the ninja world who know the Impure World Reincarnation technique are Kakashi and Chen Anxia."
"If nothing unexpected happens, the one who resurrected you using Edo Tensei should be one of these two people."
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha immediately replied, "It's not that brat Kakashi."
As he spoke, Madara Uchiha looked at Zetsu and asked, "Tell me more about Chen Anxia. I have a feeling that this person is not simple."
Without hesitation, he told Uchiha Madara everything he knew about Chen Anxia.
Killing the Third Hokage, reviving the Fourth Hokage, Jiraiya in a short street battle, Hashirama Senju's undefeated record...
Listening to the information Zetsu said, and recalling Chen Anxia's figure in his mind, Uchiha Madara couldn't help but feel a strong interest. He said, "Even if Hashirama couldn't exert his full strength due to the Impure World Reincarnation, Chen Anxia's strength, which allowed him to fight him without defeat, is beyond doubt."
"I never imagined that such an interesting person would be born in the ninja world after my death."
"I have a feeling that I will eventually have a showdown with him..."
Meanwhile, Tsunade finally found Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was quite surprised to see Tsunade arrive and couldn't help but ask, "You gambling addict, what made you think of coming to see me?"
As he spoke, Orochimaru's face showed a hint of interest, and he asked, "You don't mean to try and capture me and take me back to Konoha, do you?"
"If that's really the case, then you're going to be disappointed."
"Unless the First Hokage personally intervenes, you alone cannot capture me."
Tsunade did not refute this, and just as Orochimaru said, although Tsunade might be able to defeat him, it was impossible for her to capture him.
However, Tsunade did not speak. Instead, another chilling voice said, "What if I were included?"
