Minato Namikaze acknowledged that the Uchiha possessed a stone monolith passed down through generations.
Baki asked, "So then, what exactly is written on this monolith?"
Minato responded, "Clan Leader Fugaku once told me about it. By viewing the monolith with Spinning Three-Tomoe Sharingan, it reveals the method to evolve the Three-Tomoe Sharingan into Mangekyo Sharingan. Then, by observing the monolith with Mangekyo Sharingan, its content shows that combining the power of Senju and Uchiha can create an even greater force. That's all there is to it."
Onoki speculated, "In that case, it seems only with the Rinnegan could one possibly see further related contents of the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan."
Mei Terumi said, "Raikage, please continue."
Raikage A grunted in agreement before continuing, "The Sage of Six Paths once saved the world from a monster. The nine Tailed Beasts are merely fragments of that sealed monster—they're parts of one entity. This was a being possessing the strongest chakra—the Ten-Tails! That's its name!"
The Five Kage were shocked since this was the first time they had ever heard the name 'Ten-Tails'.
Raikage A continued solemnly, "The Tailed Beasts from One-Tail to Nine-Tails are all products formed after the Ten-Tails' chakra was scattered. They originated from the Sage of Six Paths himself. To protect the world from the Ten-Tails, the Sage developed a certain Ninjutsu technique, which has now been secretly inherited—the Jinchuriki Sealing System.
The Sage of Six Paths himself was the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails. To suppress the Ten-Tails, he sealed it within his own body, saving humanity from its suffering. For this, he was revered as a god.
However, fearing that the excessively powerful and malevolent chakra of the Ten-Tails would break free upon his death and cause destruction again, the Sage used his final strength to divide the Ten-Tails' chakra into nine parts and scatter them to different corners of the world.
The core body of the Ten-Tails, deprived of its chakra, was sealed and sent up to the unreachable sky—that became the moon!"
Minato frowned heavily, "This is simply unbelievable. If that's true, then Akatsuki's goal is to gather those nine scattered portions of chakra—all the Tailed Beasts—to obtain incomparable power. But once they've obtained this power, what exactly is this Moon Eye Plan?"
Raikage A explained, "[Infinite Tsukuyomi]! Madara Uchiha wants to revive the Ten-Tails! Then Madara Uchiha will become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, using that power to enhance his ocular abilities, and then cast a large-scale genjutsu projecting his eyes onto the moon itself—this technique is called 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'!
By casting Infinite Tsukuyomi, genjutsu will be imposed upon everyone on Earth. Madara Uchiha will control every single person trapped within the illusion, unifying the entire world into his ideal form, where everything merges with him completely—absolute unity. This… is Madara Uchiha's Moon Eye Plan!"
After Raikage A finished speaking, a long silence fell over the room.
Because this intelligence report was simply too incredible to believe.
Baki said solemnly, "Illusory peace is merely a lie, and peace only has meaning when achieved in reality. We absolutely cannot allow them to succeed!"
Mei Terumi also chimed in, "Living in such a world holds no significance—it's nothing but escaping reality with no dreams left."
Onoki added very seriously, "Rather than calling it unifying the world, it would be more accurate to say they're creating a world that belongs solely to Madara Uchiha!"
Minato Namikaze spoke firmly, "This crisis concerns the entire ninja world. We must unite every available force. Therefore, we should continue expanding the Allied Ninja Forces, inviting ninja from other villages to join us, and intensify our search efforts—we absolutely cannot let them get away with this!"
...
After learning about Akatsuki's Moon Eye plan, the Five Kage felt an even greater sense of urgency—they needed to locate the remaining Akatsuki members faster.
The Allied Ninja Forces began recruiting ninja from smaller villages, and the entire ninja world started investigating Akatsuki members' whereabouts.
At this time, although only four targets remained, successfully sealing the seventh Tailed Beast into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path had already been accomplished.
Nagato exhaled deeply, though at this moment he also found things quite troubling.
With Akatsuki members rapidly decreasing, both the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were undoubtedly under strict protection by the Allied Ninja Forces. Capturing them would be extremely difficult.
Since the Projection Technique hadn't been released yet, Deva Path asked Setsuna Uchiha and Zetsu, "Madara, Zetsu, have you obtained any information regarding the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"
Now that there were no others left, there was no need anymore to address Setsuna Uchiha as Tobi.
Setsuna Uchiha and Zetsu exchanged glances. Since seven Tailed Beasts had already been successfully sealed… Nagato himself had now become unnecessary to their plans.
Zetsu answered, "I've investigated thoroughly. The current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki seems hidden on Mount Myoboku, while the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki appears to be hiding on Turtle Island in the Land of Lightning."
Setsuna Uchiha then spoke, "I have a suggestion."
Deva Path turned his gaze toward Setsuna Uchiha. "Speak."
Setsuna Uchiha proposed, "The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki will be the hardest to capture—those frogs on Mount Myoboku are particularly troublesome. I'll go with Zetsu to Mount Myoboku to capture the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, while you and Konan head to Turtle Island to capture the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki was believed to be hidden extremely well, and there aren't many guards on Turtle Island, so capturing him should proceed smoothly. As for the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, we'll attempt a surprise attack to see if we can capture him."
After briefly considering, Nagato agreed, "Fine."
Now that there were only two Tailed Beasts remaining, Nagato wanted to complete their capture as soon as possible—to prevent prolonged delays from causing unexpected trouble.
Setsuna Uchiha warned, "Nagato, make sure your true form is well hidden. The Allied Ninja Forces are scouring the entire ninja world for us. If you're discovered, it'll be a serious problem."
"You don't need to tell me that. Just act now."
The Projection Technique ended, and the illusions of Deva Path and Konan vanished.
Setsuna Uchiha asked Zetsu, "You've been keeping an eye on Nagato, right?"
Zetsu chuckled darkly. "Of course. Once the Six Paths of Pain and Konan fight the Eight-Tails' host, that will be our chance to take out Nagato! Then after Madara revives, the Eight-Tails' host can simply be captured by him.
"After capturing the Eight-Tails' host, we'll go to Mount Myoboku and capture the Nine-Tails' host as well. Once the Ten-Tails is revived, Madara will become its jinchūriki, and then he'll be able to create a world of our dreams!"
Beneath his mask, Setsuna Uchiha let out a distant, longing gaze.
Inside, Zetsu was equally thrilled. The thousand-year plan they had laid was finally about to come to fruition!
