Chapter 185 Chaos is Coming
Chapter 185 Chaos is Coming
Deep underground in the ninja world.
Madara Uchiha, who had been hanging his head as if he were dead, slowly opened his only remaining cloudy eye.
"Absolutely brilliant."
Ban's voice was dry, like two pieces of rotten wood rubbing together.
"How long have I been asleep? What's the world like outside?"
The ground rippled, and Black and White Jue emerged from the soil, his half-black, half-white face bearing his signature eerie smile.
"Not much time has passed, Lord Madara. However, as you predicted, the outside world is indeed in complete chaos."
White Zetsu reported with a grin: "The four great nations of Iwagakure, Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Konoha are locked in fierce fighting in the Land of Grass. This is the chaos you were expecting."
"I don't care about that kind of boring war."
Ban slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze revealing a cold indifference towards all living beings.
"What I'm asking is, have we found the 'chess piece' that can take my place in the world?"
"Found it, and it's even more perfect than I expected."
Black Zetsu took over the conversation, his voice deep and hoarse.
"Uchiha Obito. That brat who awakened the two-tomoe Sharingan on the battlefield to save his comrades."
"Oh?" A glint flashed in Madara's eyes. "Awakening your Sharingan to save your comrades? Typical Uchiha... The deeper the love, the easier it is to hate."
"That's right."
Black Zetsu continued, "That brat is currently on the battlefield in the Land of Grass. I observed him for a while during the great battle. Although he is somewhat naive, he has an unwavering devotion to that girl named Nohara Rin."
"As long as that girl dies in front of him..."
Black Zetsu let out a sinister laugh.
"That love will instantly transform into overwhelming hatred, enough to plunge him into darkness and make him your most loyal executor."
"very good."
Ban's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the stone seat.
"Now that we've found the materials, let's start carving. You don't need me to teach you how, do you?"
"Please rest assured, Lord Madara."
White Zetsu quickly replied, "I've already made arrangements. Those lunatics from Kirigakure are taking advantage of the chaos to infiltrate the Land of Grass; they're a good weapon."
"When Minato Namikaze is tied down by Iwagakure or Kumogakure, and Team 7 is left alone..."
"The day that girl named Nohara Rin dies is also the day that Uchiha Obito is reborn."
Ban closed his eyes again, as if everything was under his control.
Go ahead. Don't let me down.
……
The Land of Grass, Konoha Frontline Command Post.
When Nishikawa Tetsu lifted the curtain and walked in, Jiraiya was looking at the map with a headache, and the ashtray at his feet was piled high with cigarette butts.
"You're back?"
Jiraiya looked up at Nishikawa Tetsu, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing slightly.
"Did the negotiations go well?"
"I have successfully completed my mission."
Nishikawa Tetsu poured himself a glass of water to moisten his somewhat dry and hoarse throat.
"Although Onoki is stubborn, Koto is a smart man, or rather, a pragmatic man. He accepted our conditions: the return of the Four-Tails Jinchuriki, and a batch of civilian equipment as aid."
"In exchange..."
Nishikawa Tetsu walked to the map and forcefully pushed the piece representing Iwagakure towards the side representing Kumogakure.
"Once Iwagakure receives our signal, they will launch a surprise attack on the main force of Kumogakure, which is lurking in the eastern forest."
"hiss--"
Jiraiya gasped. Although he had known about the kid's plan for a long time, hearing the news of Iwagakure's betrayal still felt somewhat surreal.
"That's really ruthless; this is practically dogs fighting each other."
"However, teacher."
Nishikawa Tetsu's expression did not relax; instead, it became even more serious.
"Although Iwagakure has betrayed us, the situation here remains very dangerous. The Third Raikage of Kumogakure is an absolute monster; once he discovers he has been betrayed, his destructive power in his dying counterattack will be absolutely astonishing."
"and……"
Nishikawa Tetsu pointed to the other side of the map, still somewhat worried about the filial son hidden in the history of the ninja world.
"The Hidden Mist troops have already landed. Although the main force is attacking Konoha's homeland, no one can guarantee that they won't send elite squads to fish in this murky water."
"Moreover, we can't completely trust Iwagakure. If Kirigakure really joins the battle in the Land of Grass, and Iwagakure sees an opportunity to profit, they will not hesitate to betray the alliance."
"This place is a powder keg right now. Once it explodes, no one will be able to escape."
Jiraiya nodded, his expression serious.
"You're right. We don't have enough manpower, and we can't completely trust Iwagakure's credibility. If a major battle really breaks out, we might not be able to protect everyone."
He immediately picked up a pen and quickly wrote down the details.
"I need to ask the village for reinforcements, even if it means squeezing some people out from other lines of defense!"
……
The Land of Fields, the temporary base of Konoha.
A small-scale battle has just ended here; there has been constant friction between us and the Hidden Cloud Village recently.
Orochimaru sat in the makeshift laboratory, holding an urgent intelligence report sent by Jiraiya, a playful smile playing on his lips.
"Iwagakure has betrayed us, and the Third Raikage has infiltrated the Land of Grass. No wonder we haven't seen him lately. A three-way battle... Hah."
He casually placed the intelligence report on the table and looked at Uchiha Fugaku standing to the side.
Fugaku was not in good condition at this time.
The tough battle with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki a few days ago had taken a toll on him, leaving him pale.
"Fugaku, Jiraiya is requesting reinforcements."
Orochimaru said calmly:
"The Land of Grass is about to descend into a massive melee. The village replied that we are closest to the battlefield in the Land of Grass and can send an elite squad from our side to provide support. But that's all we can do, since we still need to be wary of the Hidden Cloud Village here."
The Hidden Cloud Village has been acting like a mad dog lately, and this behavior is all to conceal the Third Raikage's infiltration of the Land of Grass.
"I'll go."
Fugaku spoke without hesitation.
"you?"
Orochimaru narrowed his golden vertical pupils slightly as he sized up Fugaku.
"Your eyes haven't recovered yet, have they? What good would you be if you went there now? Would you be a burden?"
"There's nothing wrong with my eyes."
Fugaku stubbornly insisted that his vision was just a little blurry, and it wasn't a big problem.
"Minato and Che are both over there."
His voice was deep, yet it conveyed an undeniable firmness.
"Now they may face an attack from both Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and even Kirigakure."
"I cannot stand by and watch them fall into despair."
"and……"
Fugaku suddenly declared domineeringly, "Even without the Mangekyou Sharingan, I am still the young head of the Uchiha clan and the captain of the police department. I don't need these eyes to deal with some small fry."
Orochimaru stared at Fugaku for a long time before letting out a soft chuckle.
"What an interesting bond... Despite being a calm and collected Uchiha, they are more emotional than anyone else."
Orochimaru waved his hand and tossed Fugaku a bottle of medicine—it would help restore his eye power.
"Since you want to go and die, then go."
"Take your men and set off immediately. Don't die on the way."
Thank you.
Fugaku took the medicine, said nothing, and strode out of the tent.
"Uchiha clan! Assemble!"
Fugaku's roar echoed through the camp.
"Target: The Land of Grass! Full speed ahead!"
