The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 653 The Situation

Disonas is a notorious criminal.

In his pursuit of power, he cruelly murdered countless innocent people, thus incurring the joint arrest warrants of various countries.

He once colluded with Orochimaru, and together they participated in in-depth research on the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

Later, he received a clue that this sacred place—Hall—hides a major secret.

So Disonas went to great lengths to hide here and, through some shady means, successfully became the town's mayor.

However, he is now controlled by Black Zetsu's Mangekyou Sharingan and has been completely turned into a puppet serving Black Zetsu.

Obito ignored the experiment and focused his gaze on Black Zetsu in the corner.

Since Black Zetsu successfully took over Hiruko's original body, his appearance has undergone tremendous changes.

He is no longer the disgusting black mud he once was, nor does he resemble the former Biljukhu.

Instead, it was replaced by the image of a slightly thin, stern-faced young man.

After all, Black Zetsu has lived through countless years and knows exactly how to create the most powerful body.

However, this extremely shrewd individual was exceptionally calm and composed, showing no signs of impatience whatsoever.

In the years that Chiyo was away, Black Zetsu meticulously planned his strategy for the moon while quietly accumulating his own power.

After all, he had waited for over a thousand years, so a mere five years was nothing to him.

Black Zetsu raised his head and glanced at Obito, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"What? Has this operation ended in failure again?"

He knew that Obito was trying to reawaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he also knew that Obito was bound to fail.

This is because Obito had already begun to deny himself deep down, a situation that is truly rare among the Uchiha clan.

It's important to know that the Uchiha clan has always been known for their single-minded, obsessive, and fanatical nature.

However, even Black Zetsu doesn't know the extent to which Obito's psychological problems have deteriorated.

After all, the two of them are now only superficially friendly, and they rarely meet each other.

"All the tailed beasts have been resurrected, so how are your plans on the moon progressing?"

Black Zetsu glanced casually at Disonas, who was concentrating on preparing the poison, and answered.

"The goal has not yet been achieved, and it will probably take some more time."

Obito nodded slightly after hearing this, and then, without beating around the bush, he responded directly.

"Konoha Village's power is growing stronger and stronger."

"If we remain inactive and do not take action soon, the situation may become unfavorable to us."

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes slightly, gazing thoughtfully at Obito, and pressed for an answer.

"Could it be that you're planning to test Konoha?"

Obito nodded without hesitation, indicating his agreement:

"That's right, whether the Nine-Tails is in Konoha is very important to us..."

Just then, Disonas, who had been silent and focused on his work, suddenly spoke up:

"We succeeded, Lord Black Zetsu!"

Because he was being manipulated, his voice sounded somewhat dull and wooden.

Upon hearing this, Obito and Blackbeard turned their heads away simultaneously.

Upon closer inspection, it was seen that Disonas had already placed a mass of flesh and blood into a specially made container.

This mass of flesh and blood had a chilling color, neither as bright red as normal blood nor the color of ordinary flesh, but rather a strange mix of dark green and bluish-purple.

Not only that, it also continuously emitted a strong, nauseating stench.

Black Zetsu expressionlessly reached his hand into the container filled with flesh and blood.

Time passed slowly, and after a while, he gently withdrew his fingers.

The fingers, which were originally as black as ink, began to turn yellow at a visible speed, as if they were being eroded by some kind of force.

"Great! The corpse poison has finally worked!"

Black Zetsu looked at his discolored fingers, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

The body he now possesses was transformed from Gui Yaluo, but even so, its essence still belongs to Gui Yaluo.

Therefore, Black Zetsu doesn't need any complicated testing methods; he can easily determine whether the experiment was successful simply by touching the mass of flesh with a single finger.

Obito, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow slightly and asked with a hint of doubt:

"Did it really succeed?"

It is clear that Obito was aware of the experiment that Black Zetsu was conducting.

Upon hearing Obito's question, Black Zetsu snorted coldly and replied irritably:

"What? Do you really think that the rudimentary Earth Release techniques that Kazuma and his group, whom you recruited before, can create chaos in Konoha?"

Then, he paused slightly before continuing:

"Although this corpse poison is not uncommon, to make it exert its power and achieve a large-scale effect, it requires a large number of corpses as raw materials and careful cultivation."

At this point, Black Zetsu smiled:

"Fortunately, we have already collected a large number of corpses, which is a good opportunity to make full use of them."

Black Zetsu has lived for so many years, so naturally he has many methods.

If one suffers losses in conventional force, there are naturally other ways to achieve one's goal indirectly.

"The Uchiha clan has too many powerful and skilled individuals. With our current strength, we must find more powerful allies to fight against them!"

Obito reminded Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu couldn't help but let out a disdainful sneer:

"Hmph, the power of ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan is limited."

"Just like Fugaku, who has disappeared for the past few years, I suppose the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan has been completely exhausted."

Black Zetsu paused for a moment, then continued:

"Currently, within the Uchiha clan, only Itachi, Mayumi, and Shisui possess the Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Even if every member of the Uchiha clan is exceptionally skilled, how many people can they possibly save with just their combined strength?"

"Our real enemy is 'Yellow Flash' Minato Namikaze!"

"The reason why Kazuma and the others are so eager to fight for power for the daimyo is simply because they see that the current situation is unfavorable to the daimyo."

"If Konoha is allowed to continue to grow stronger, I'm afraid the Daimyo will eventually be completely excluded from the core power of the Land of Fire," Black Zetsu analyzed with a cold smile.

Indeed, Minato Namikaze, as the Fourth Hokage of Konoha, enjoyed a very high reputation in the Land of Fire due to his outstanding leadership and powerful strength.

Meanwhile, as Konoha Village prospered, the status of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire was gradually forgotten.
