Black Zetsu and Obito

After the Third Kazekage puppet was pushed back, Musashi dished out a barrage of compressed air blade towards the Third Kazekage puppet. However, Sasori skilfully controlled the Third Kazekage puppet to use Magnet Release, summoning a lot of iron sand to protect itself.

However, he was unable to completely block the compressed air blade. Some of the Chakra threads were cut off because of that.

Sasori had never fought with such a swordsman before. He did not expect that the opponent's attack was so strong. A single mistake could cause him a big disadvantage.

Because some of the Chakra treads were cut, Sasori's control over the Third Kazekage puppet was affected a little.

Musashi seized this opportunity to rush forward. The blade in his left hand blocked the attack of the Third Kazekage puppet, and the blade in his right hand cut off all the Chakra treads before striking down the Third Kazekage puppet itself, which could no longer move and eventually fell to the ground.

At this time, Konan made his move. A bunch of paper scattered around him began to swarm Sasori.

"It seems that you're not as strong as you think. How about it? Are you interested in joining the Akatsuki now?"

Konan said coldly to Sasori.

Sasori looked at the paper wrapped around his body. Although he did not know what were these papers for, he knew that it was definitely not a good thing.

"Then I will join you. If your organization is full of Shinobi like you, it should give me a lot of artistic inspiration."

Sasori said with a smile. There was no panic on his face.

Sasori was not afraid of death, or rather, he was indifferent to death. His obsession now was to make a puppet that lasted forever.

Moreover, his opponent obviously would not kill him. They just wanted him to join their organization.

However, this battle taught Sasori a good lesson. Although his puppet had high attack power and was coated with poison, as a puppet master, he did not seem to have good defense.

He should create a puppet that could encase him and protect himself.

He could even make himself into a puppet that would never die. This idea gave Sasori goosebumps. It was very artistic.

"We've successfully completed the mission. Also, Sasori, your puppet is very powerful. Can I fight with your puppet again in the future?" Musashi asked.

"Do you want to test my puppet's power? Sure." Sasori nodded. Sasori naturally agreed if someone volunteered to be a good tool for him.

This made Sasori quite excited to see other Akatsuki members. What kind of ability would they have, and whether they could give him more inspiration.

Since the mission had been completed, Konan did not want to stay in this sandy land any longer. He quickly took Musashi and Sasori to Amegakure.

...

"How is the recruitment going?" In a secret base, Obito asked Zetsu.

"Not bad, it went quite smoothly. Although there were some resistance, they all joined after the battle." Zetsu said with a smile.

"Musashi, Kakuzu, and Sasori, all of a sudden, we have three capable combatants."

"Have you found that guy? He is more important than those people. We need his Chimera Technique." Obito said in a deep voice.

Not long ago, Obito had accidentally discovered an ancient ruin where astonishing record was buried.

Obito believed that even the real Madara Uchiha did not know those secrets.

From that, Obito found out that Sage of Six Paths used Creation of All Things Technique to separate Tailed-Beasts. He also discovered that both Uchiha and Senju Clan were Sage of Six Paths' descendants.

At that time, there was another man who was as skilled as the Sage of Six Paths, which was his younger brother, and the Hyuga Clan was his descendant.

And their mother was even more powerful as she once ruled the Ninja Realm for a long time.

Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother also inherited her power.

Normally, even if Obito found out about this, it wouldn't matter. Madara had told him many secrets, but they certainly weren't that one.

Things like secrets could only be said to be useful when making some plans, and nothing else was of much use.

But this time, it was different. They discovered that the Chimera Technique that Hiruko developed could absorb other Shinobi's Bloodline Limit.

This gave Obito a bold idea. If he fused the descendants of Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother's descendants, would it give him the same power as Sage of Six Paths' mother?

Perhaps it was because of the passage of time, but a lot of information regarding the Sage of Six Paths was incomplete. Obito did not even know the name of Sage of Six Paths' mother and brother.

However, after Obito verified a lot of information, many of the records there were true!

Even if he could not obtain the miraculous power in the record, Obito at that time believed that he would definitely have the power to truly become a god.

It was not the kind of god that Nagato proclaimed himself to be, but a true god like Sage of Six Paths, who would not be forgotten even after thousands of years.

By that time, even if Madara Uchiha was revived, he might be no match for him.

For this reason, Obito specifically made a new plan, "Bloodline Limit Succession".

Because Obito himself was an Uchiha, it saved him the trouble of finding an Uchiha. In addition, he had transplanted Hashirama Cells into himself, so that also saved him the trouble of finding Senju Clan.

Right now, he only needed an Uzumaki Clan and a Hyuga Clan. Then, he would have the hope to recreate the mighty power of God in the record.

He had no choice. He actually wanted to weaken Konoha by controlling Nine-Tails. In the end, Konoha wasn't weakened. On the contrary, he lost an important force. White Zetsu was missing. He should have been killed by Konoha's Shinobi.

Through the Nine-Tails incident, Obito knew that Konoha was too strong, and he certainly couldn't deal with it alone.

Even if he gathered ten skilled Shinobi, they might not be able to deal with Konoha. Konoha had the Shinobi who easily subdued Nine-Tails, Fujiwara Nagasawa.

Even though Nagato had Rinnegan, he might not be able to deal with Nagasawa. In order to achieve his goal, Obito had to think of a way to deal with that Nagasawa.

The solution was also very simple. He just had to become stronger! If he had the strength of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, he did not think Nagasawa could beat him.

"That bastard's whereabouts are really hard to pinpoint. He basically never shows himself. He is hiding deep in the mountains and forests. It is not easy for my clone to find him." Zetsu had a rare serious look on his face.

He also wanted to find Hiruko.

After all the record that Obito found was created by him.

After thousands of years planning to revive his mother, Black Zetsu was too familiar with the ninja world. He knew every inch of land, so the ruins were real, but he added some information to manipulate Obito, just like what he did to Madara Uchiha back then.

As for the purpose, it was naturally to enhance Obito's strength and then use him to deal with Nagasawa.

After all, Nagasawa was really a big surprise. If his plan failed because of him, even he might lose his patience. If he failed this time, who knew how many thousand more years he had to wait?

Black Zetsu was also somewhat glad that he was quite lucky this time. After all, Madara managed to awaken Rinnegan and even found an excellent successor like Obito.

He was also quite lucky to stumble into Hiruko who developed Chimera Technique, which could enhance Obito's strength.

'This is the best opportunity I've had in thousands of years. I can't afford to fail!' Black Zetsu thought in his heart.

Reviving Kaguya Otsutsuki was a must for him.
