Chapter 64 - The Plan

Trampling on the slightly damp grass, Tetsuya entered the garden. Zetsu was already waiting for him there, with a calm expression on his face. In the hands of the humanoid rested a container, inside which floated a pair of eyes.

"You're such a good guy, Zetsu. – the hero said with a smile, coming up – And you ran away for the dojutsu, and you look after the "eyes of God" ... It's immediately obvious that you really want to resurrect your mother. –

Zetsu missed a little teasing – So you understand everything… Although nothing less should have been expected. This both complicates and simplifies the matter. –

Having finished, the humanoid threw the bottle into Tetsuya's hands, which he naturally caught and immediately put into print. There was no need to check, Zetsu would hardly have tried to deceive him. Well, the "Imperial Zone" also suggested that everything is clean.

– Rinnegan. - Tetsuya said with an infectious smile – It is said that in troubled times, the one who owns the rinnegan is sent from heaven to become the "God of Creation" who will establish balance in the world, or the "God of Destruction" who will reduce everything to nothing. But as for me, all this is nonsense. Rinnegan is just a tool. Only dojutsu, which gives the user new opportunities. Not to become a god because of a pair of some eyes. –

Zetsu looked at the firmly standing hero with interest, waiting for what he wanted to say.

– However, it is difficult to doubt the incommensurable benefits of these eyes when they are in the right hands. Zetsu, is rinnegan needed to resurrect Kaguya? –

After waiting a little, Zetsu, squinting, spoke – You were able to interfere with our plans absolutely by accident, without knowing anything about the plan itself. What is it, if not fate ... yes, rinnegan plays a huge role in the resurrection of Kaguya, we can say decisive. –

Tetsuya cast a mocking glance at Zetsu – And you gave these eyes to a child who was in a country where a war is being waged? –

– It didn't happen by my will. – Zetsu shook his head – As you can see, I was guarding the dojutsu, besides, if Nagato was in danger, he would be able to instinctively stand up for himself… You've led me astray… Looks like I'm going to have to tell you the plan. –

Zetsu wanted to open up the plan a little and mix it with truth and lies in order to get Tetsuya's support and at the same time not to risk the possible rebirth of his mother too much. Yet he was closer to this goal than ever before. But Zetsu didn't have time to put noodles on his ears.

"You won't have to tell me about it and its details. I know everything. The hero said calmly with a calm expression on his face, "In fact, I know more than you can imagine. –

- what? Zetsu said confusedly, not understanding what was going on.

– I know about Madara. I know that rinnegan is needed to summon the statue of Gedo, which is under the seal on the moon. I know about the endless tsukiyomi and human sacrifice to the divine tree. I know you tried to trick me with these rewards for Kaguya's resurrection. –

With each uttered word, Zetsu became more serious and tense, although he did not show it outwardly. - "From where… How does he know all this?! It's impossible, absolutely impossible! Genjutsu?!" –

– I also know that you will betray Madara at the very last moment and will be able to resurrect your mother, but she will be sealed again by the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra. Not without Hagoromo's help, by the way. –

Zetsu's head was empty… What was said could not be perceived in any way by the slime that replaced his brains.

– By all the rules, I should immediately kill you for trying to trick me into resurrecting the goddess nicknamed "Demon", but ... – he stretched on the spot – But I also know that literally in a few decades other members of the Ootsutsuki clan will visit the planet. And they will not come with good intentions, so I will need an ally in the person of the Hare Goddess. –

Meanwhile, the black humanoid, not moving, stood like a pillar, not reacting in any way.

Zetsu has already realized that everything that is happening is not a joke and not the ravings of a madman, because he can't go crazy ... right?

– Well, why are you silent? Answer me, somehow. the hero shrugged his shoulders.

– How… How did you find out all this? – said Zetsu

– I had a dream. – the hero spread his hands – More precisely, he constantly dreams. –

Obviously, it was a blatant lie, but no one will know about it.

There was silence for several minutes, during which black thought hard.

Finally he spoke.

– It's possible. – Zetsu gurgled under his breath, thinking – I see there is no point in explaining, since you understand the threat that Ootsutsuki carries. The mother tried to prepare for their arrival, but the sons did not appreciate her concern…–

Tetsuya interrupted him, "I know everything, there's no point in explaining it to me. Let's discuss her resurrection plan instead…–

– What's wrong with the plan? – Zetsu tilted his head to the side.

– It's all right with him, but I have better ideas. –

– I'm listening. Zetsu squinted, ready to listen carefully.

– To resurrect Kaguya, we will need a rinnegan, a statue of Gedo and the chakra of all tailed ones. Plus a bunch of chakras, which according to your plan should be found with the help of the infinite tsukiyomi and the divine tree. I think I can resurrect the rabbit goddess myself. Without Madara and much faster. –

– And how do you want to do it? Zetsu asked with skepticism in his voice.

– First, I will transplant Madara's rinnegan to myself and master its full power. Then I'm going to spend several years on intensive training. All this power should help me unite the Shinobi world under my command. It doesn't matter how I achieve it, by force or by word. When I become the universal leader, then access to the tailed and jinchuriki will not be a problem. This plan will only take a few years to complete, unlike yours. –

– But your plan also has a lot of flaws. – black frowned – Do you think it will be easy to unite the Shinobi world? –

– Yes, I am confident in my "diplomatic" skills. Tetsuya cracked his fists and grinned.

– Of course, you have no confidence… That's just this plan requires me to completely rely on you. –

- Yes. You'll have to rely entirely on me. – The hero shrugged his shoulders – However, you have time to think. –

After standing in silence for a while, Zetsu replied – Okay. I'll think. –

After which, the humanoid slowly disappeared into the ground.

Tetsuya, meanwhile, went to his secret laboratory with an anticipatory smile.

The plan to unite the Shinobi world actually floated in his head for quite a long time. Of course, the idea of being emperor again did not appeal to him at first, but when Tetsuya remembered that he had shadow and tree clones in this world, the choice turned out to be quite easy.
