Uehara Naraku is too insidious.
Everyone couldn't help but have this thought in their minds, even Uchiha Madara, who was about to be devoured, felt a bit speechless now.
Didn't expect this bastard Uehara to be hiding in a corner all this time!
Damn it, he's a lunatic!
Outside, everyone was fighting fiercely, looking like it's a matter of life and death, even an ultimate deception happened in the Ninja World, and this bastard Uehara was hiding in a vine watching the show!
With the outside world being so exciting, are you just hiding inside watching the show?
Especially since Uehara Naraku's strength is ridiculously strong. If Uehara had no schemes, even Uzumaki Naruto wouldn't believe it...
Uzumaki Naruto furrowed his brow, glanced at Uchiha Sasuke beside him, and then asked, "Uehara, weren't you affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi Genjutsu?"
"Ah, speaking of it, it's really embarrassing."
Uehara Naraku calmly shook his head, a pair of Rinnegan appeared in his eye sockets, and he continued, "Sorry, this is Innate Rinnegan. I wanted to enter the illusion of Infinite Tsukuyomi to see the world of my dreams, but I really couldn't get in..."
Black Zetsu: "..."
Uchiha Madara: "..."
Uzumaki Naruto: "..."
Uchiha Sasuke: "..."
Is he even speaking human language!
Everyone is working hard to ensure the smooth operation of Infinite Tsukuyomi or to dismantle Infinite Tsukuyomi, and you're saying things that provoke people?
If only we could defeat him...
Really want to teach him a lesson!
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uehara Naraku perplexedly, his gaze gradually becoming subtle: "So you've never been affected by Genjutsu, and just now you let the Divine Tree control you on purpose?"
"Oh, that's not the Divine Tree."
Uehara Naraku's fingers slightly moved, just as the vine binding him transformed into a puff of smoke and dissipated. He continued softly; "I thought if I were present, everyone might feel uncomfortable, so I used Wood Release Ninjutsu to hang myself up."
"..."
Black lines appeared on everyone's foreheads.
Whoever it is, hearing Uehara Naraku's words now suddenly feels exhausted...
Just now everyone was fighting fiercely, almost to the point of exhaustion... you're just swinging there like it's a playground!
"Innate Rinnegan..."
At this moment, Black Zetsu focused on the key point.
Black Zetsu spoke with a sinister tone, "If I remember correctly, Hogoromo is the one and only with Innate Rinnegan, right?"
"I don't know."
Uehara Naraku spread his hands calmly and said, "Maybe it's because I've fully grasped the Power of Yin Yang Five Elements, that allowed me to open the Innate Rinnegan!"
Innate Rinnegan!
Everyone couldn't help but stare tightly at Uehara Naraku's eyes, but at the moment, they didn't look any different, revealing no clues.
"Stop looking at me."
Uehara Naraku pointed to the ever-expanding Uchiha Madara in front and said lightly, "You all continue with your family matters, I'll just find a place to sit for a while."
After saying this, Uehara Naraku sat down by himself.
As Uehara Naraku sat down, the ground rapidly swelled, forming a stone chair beneath him, allowing him to sit comfortably.
It must be said, Uehara Naraku showed a bit of an amazing skill.
Before the stone chair emerged from the ground, Uehara didn't even make a move, like a true deity who turns thoughts into reality.
Uchiha Sasuke had seen this scene before, though last time it was a water chair, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Uehara!"
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Uehara Naraku, slightly dissatisfied, and advised, "Right now, the Ninja World is facing an extinction crisis, how can you sit here indifferently!"
"But..."
Uehara Naraku scrutinized the few people present, his gaze slowly resting on the expanding Uchiha Madara, and said nonchalantly, "This is your family matter... I, an outsider, really shouldn't interfere, right?"
Uehara Naraku calmly watched Uchiha Madara, softly continued, "Senior Madara, I didn't lie to you last time, Black Zetsu really betrayed you... When I controlled Uchiha Obito to warn you, why didn't you get rid of him?"
The words were really neither heavy nor light.
At that time, Uchiha Madara was still in a daze!
Of course, the current Uchiha Madara is more confused than ever!
Uchiha Madara's eye expression tightened slightly, ignoring the pain of his own body's expansion, and asked deeply, "Uehara Naraku, do you know all of this? What role are you playing, are you and Black Zetsu co-conspirators in betraying me?"
"Pretty much!"
Uehara Naraku spread open his palm and replied, "At least now my purpose is the same as senior Zetsu's, both of us want to resurrect Princess Kaguya."
After Uehara Naraku mentioned this point, he chuckled and said, "Don't blame me, Senior Madara. It's all senior Zetsu secretly directing this, I'm just a pawn under his hand, a mere Ninja!"
"Uehara Naraku..."
Black Zetsu's sinister voice opened, "There's no need to say that anymore! There are some things we both understand!"
Dammit, at this point, there's no need to act anymore!
The entire Ninja World is down to just a few of them. Who is Uehara Naraku, that damn liar, putting on an act for?
"Fine, I won't say anything more."
Uehara Naraku glanced at Uchiha Madara's swelling body and continued, "By the way, Senior Zetsu, the revival of Princess Kaguya is irreversible, right?
Allow me to remind you, Senior Zetsu, you are now exposed, and this time is likely the only opportunity for Kaguya's revival."
"It seems you've known all along, Uehara Naraku."
In Black Zetsu's murky voice, the calm from before was gone, as Uehara Naraku's appearance and words made him feel the situation slipping out of control.
But Uehara Naraku was not wrong.
If this time Kaguya cannot be revived, then with his identity exposed, the chance for her revival in the future is practically zero.
The arrow is on the string and must be shot now!
Black Zetsu's face floated on Uchiha Madara's body, continuing in a hoarse voice, "Uehara, you have always believed I would use this opportunity to make Madara the vessel for Kaguya's revival, so you never cared about the Rinnegan and have always been pushing for Madara's complete resurrection in the shadows."
"That's right."
Uehara Naraku looked at Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan and explained softly, "That's why I tried to extract Lord Nagato, because only the user of the Rinnegan is the most suitable candidate, and those eyes were never meant to belong to him."
Uehara Naraku slowly nodded, calmly speaking as he continued, "There aren't many eligible to become Kaguya's vessel in the entire Ninja World, or rather, only Uchiha Madara is the most suitable, so I have been fulfilling your desires."
After speaking, Uehara Naraku glanced at Uchiha Madara and continued softly, "To prevent any mishaps, I can only find ways to keep the entire Eye of the Moon Plan under my surveillance, so I've eliminated all unstable elements within the Eye of the Moon Plan."
"..."
Black Zetsu was silent for a while, then answered in a hoarse voice, "So you chose to eliminate your rival Uchiha Obito... Hoshigaki Kisame is also your man, isn't he?"
"Indeed."
Uehara Naraku tapped his fingers on the stone chair and spoke softly, "Back when I first joined the Eye of the Moon Plan, I first isolated Uchiha Obito, and later eliminated him and the hundred thousand White Zetsu, leaving you with nothing to rely on."
Black Zetsu: "..."
Damn, this bastard!
That was one hundred thousand White Zetsu!
Was he afraid that those White Zetsu might become his support? Uehara Naraku, you bastard, won't even spare the White Zetsu!
Uehara Naraku looked at the silent Black Zetsu, laughed, and said, "But I thought that if in a small team only myself is left, no matter what I say, you might not believe it, so I deliberately planted someone who is hostile to me."
"Is it..."
Black Zetsu's face gradually changed shape, "Hoshigaki Kisame has always been hostile to you, and even Yakushi Kabuto was not respectful to you..."
After Uehara Naraku finished, he calmly continued explaining, "Hoshigaki Kisame was mine from the moment he joined Akatsuki. He would occasionally say a few bad things about me in your ear and even attempted to usurp power..."
Uehara Naraku couldn't help but laugh as he said this, then continued, "But the result was often that you deepened your trust in me, and you even despised Kisame for his audacity..."
"No wonder..."
Black Zetsu nodded, somewhat dazed.
Every time it saw Hoshigaki Kisame slandering Uehara Naraku, Black Zetsu felt that its trust in Uehara Naraku increased, because each time, it gained a lot of favorable information for Uehara Naraku from Kisame's slander!
This guy, still taking advantage of its way of thinking!
Now it seems, at that time, Black Zetsu regarded Hoshigaki Kisame as a useless pawn, little did it know that Kisame was secretly despising its ignorance!
Black Zetsu was suddenly filled with anger!
"Don't blame me, there was no other way."
Uehara Naraku nodded, tilting his head slightly, "To ensure the plan never strays from my expectations, including when we gather the Tailed Beasts, when Madara-senpai is resurrected, when he becomes a Ten-tailed Jinchuriki, when he releases the Infinite Tsukuyomi... I need to ensure everything is within my control."
"..."
Black Zetsu fell into silence once again.
At this moment, this millennia-old mastermind behind the Ninja World felt he had met his match, and during the exchange with him, Black Zetsu couldn't help but feel a chill!
This Uehara Naraku is terrifying!
Originally, he thought Uehara Naraku had revealed a hidden secret today, but it was only the tip of the iceberg, just how many secrets is this guy still hiding!
After a long time, Black Zetsu spoke in a hoarse voice, "Because of your schemes, during the entire execution of the Eye of the Moon Plan, the only person I could rely on was you."
This was indeed Black Zetsu's mental journey.
Ever since Uchiha Obito was framed by Uehara Naraku, Black Zetsu rarely depended on Obito. Coupled with the so-called rebellion of the hundred thousand White Zetsu and Obito, Black Zetsu could only rely on Uehara Naraku from then on.
In addition, with the unreliability of Hoshigaki Kisame and Yakushi Kabuto's betrayal, every time Black Zetsu went through a crisis, it was Uehara Naraku who was by its side comforting it...
From then on, Black Zetsu regarded Uehara Naraku as its only hope in the Eye of the Moon Plan, but it turns out this hope was a damn liar!
Really wanted to kill him!
A substantial amount of enormous Chakra burst from the ground, turning into a sharp spike and shot towards Uehara Naraku sitting on the stone chair!
Uehara Naraku watched as a massive Chakra suddenly attacked him, he waved his hand to disperse the substantial Chakra and continued softly, "Don't waste your Chakra, Senior Zetsu, your power is meaningless in front of me."
"Don't be angry, Senior Zetsu!"
Uehara Naraku curled his lips, smiling as he continued, "Besides, isn't relying on me enough? Isn't everything that is happening now exactly what you wanted?"
