Yuuki explained his ideas in detail to Black Zetsu.
Find a suitable time, split into multiple teams, collect all Nine Tailed Beasts, and then quickly activate Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Before the villages of the Ninja World could even figure out the cause and start bickering, peace would have already arrived.
However, if they were to act in Konoha now, no matter who made the move, suspicion would fall on Konoha, plunging the Ninja World into war once more.
Let war happen, it's easier to fish in troubled waters!
Black Zetsu thought to himself, but to maintain his persona as Indra, who sought peace, he praised Yuuki, feigning sincerity despite his disgust.
"This is indeed more secure. So, once the Jinchuriki return to their villages, the plan can begin, right?"
Waiting another month or two is fine. As long as you, Uchiha Tomoki, don't mess things up, the plan can be implemented very soon.
Contrary to Black Zetsu's expectations, Yuuki directly shook his head.
"No, the Jinchuriki whose Tailed Beasts are extracted will die. We still need to wait!"
Damn it!
What does it matter to me if the Jinchuriki die? What does it matter to you, Uchiha Tomoki?
A Jinchuriki whose Tailed Beast has been extracted has only one path: death. Are you going to wait until all Jinchuriki die before going after the wild Tailed Beasts?
Black Zetsu gradually realized he was falling into Yuuki's rhythm—first completely negating, then offering a glimmer of hope, slowly lowering the opponent's guard bit by bit.
Black Zetsu, having observed humans for many years, understood such boring human tricks very well.
This time, Black Zetsu showed no emotional fluctuations. He asked in his unique, deep voice:
"Fifth Hokage, what exactly do you want to say? Just say it directly. Stop using such childish tricks!"
Yuuki, who was enjoying the back-and-forth, saw that Black Zetsu had noticed something was amiss.
While marveling at Black Zetsu's cunning, he gave up on continuing the charade and said directly:
"As Jinchuriki, they will be the heroes of the entire Ninja World after Infinite Tsukuyomi descends. Sacrifice is inevitable to implement the plan, but at the very least, these heroes should not be sacrificed!"
"So, what? Are we to wait for them to die of old age?"
Yuuki shook his head in denial.
"No, Konoha has made some progress on how to safely separate the Tailed Beasts. It will succeed in one to two years at the shortest, or four to five years at the longest!"
"Therefore, by waiting a little longer, we can minimize all harm. These current Jinchuriki will be the heroes of the new world; the world of Infinite Tsukuyomi must have a place for them!"
After reiterating his stance, Yuuki made his final summary.
"Our goal is peace in the Ninja World. The process of achieving peace may involve sacrifice, but when we have a way to avoid such sacrifice, we have no reason not to do so, don't you agree, Ancestor Indra?"
After speaking, Yuuki struck a pose as if scattering seeds; if a halo were added behind him, it would perfectly depict a scene of God loving the world.
As for Black Zetsu, he felt a wave of nausea at that moment!
Not only because Yuuki called him Indra, but more importantly, to any intelligent life, a 'holy mother' figure is utterly disgusting.
Judging by a five-star scale, Black Zetsu felt his current disgust index was off the charts!
Black Zetsu stood motionless for about ten seconds. After regaining his composure somewhat, he endured the nausea and maintained his persona.
"Indeed, you are worthy of your Uchiha surname. As an ancestor of the Uchiha Clan, I acknowledge you. You have convinced me!"
Now, it was Yuuki's turn to feel disgusted. Just to get into character, he had foolishly called Black Zetsu 'Ancestor'.
Now that Black Zetsu was taking advantage of it, Yuuki felt utterly sickened.
Yuuki wore his signature smile, while Black Zetsu maintained his characteristic poker face. The two stood facing each other.
The only thing they had in common was the waves of nausea churning in their hearts.
As their eyes met, both Yuuki and Black Zetsu suppressed their disgust, looking at each other with a shared sense of purpose.
A few seconds later, unable to bear it any longer, both spoke simultaneously.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going!" × 2
The two professional actors exchanged glances again, filled with immense joy, then quickly averted their gazes and swiftly left the area.
Approximately a few minutes later.
Yuuki returned to his home. Dinner was already prepared, Takuma and Mina were waiting at the dining table. As for Natsuri, she was still taking an exam and definitely wouldn't be back.
Upon returning home, Yuuki finally dispelled the feeling of nausea in his heart and enjoyed a delicious dinner with his family.
On the other side.
On a small hillside in the Land of Fire, Black Zetsu, occupying half of a White Zetsu's body, slowly emerged from underground.
The earlier disgust had made Black Zetsu quickly flee the scene.
Now, having recovered, Black Zetsu's eyes turned extremely gloomy.
One to five years?
Black Zetsu, who had waited for a millennium, possessed patience far beyond ordinary people, but the closer he got to success, the more intense his emotional fluctuations became.
Let alone five years, Black Zetsu didn't want to wait even one year.
Uchiha Tomoki, you have become the biggest obstacle!
Obito and Nagato couldn't be relied upon, so Black Zetsu decided to find a way himself, recalling his past attempts to test Yuuki.
A strange light flashed deep within Black Zetsu's emotionless eyes.
