Chapter 394: Bai Ye and Uchiha Madara
After leaving the Hidden Rain Village, Bai Ye met Afu and Black Zetsu at a temporary base near Bai Ye.
Ah Fu was as dumb as before, but Hei Zetsu's expression changed. When he saw Bai Ye, he immediately asked, "Bai Ye, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Bai Ye frowned and asked in confusion: "Master Black Zetsu is looking for me so anxiously, is there something important?"
Black Zetsu nodded, and then said, "I have something very important to discuss with you. The masked man resurrected Uchiha Madara not long ago, and it is Madara-sama who wants to see you."
"The masked man resurrected Madara-sama? Madara-sama wants to see me?"
Bai Ye repeated a few sentences, and many doubts arose in his mind.
Bai Ye was not too surprised that Obito resurrected Uchiha Madara. Facing the pressure brought by himself and after seeing the power of Impure World Reincarnation, Obito would definitely set his sights on Impure World Reincarnation.
This is also Obito's only chance to take the initiative.
What surprised him was that Black Zetsu actually took the initiative to tell him this information, instead of working with Obito and Uchiha Madara to set a trap and take advantage of the opportunity to control him.
It seems that the character I have built in front of Black Zetsu over the years is good, and Black Zetsu has treated me as one of his own.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Uchiha Madara has become interested in himself.
After all, his growth over the years has definitely exceeded Uchiha Madara's expectations, so it is normal for him to want to take a look at his partner.
The question before him now was whether or not to go and meet Uchiha Madara.
If Uchiha Madara was just an ordinary Impure World Reincarnation version, he would naturally not be afraid, but if it was a full-fledged version mixed with Hashirama's cells, he would have to think carefully.
Uchiha Madara in his prime could have used Susanoo to cut off a mountain with one strike.
After a brief pause, Bai Ye smiled harmlessly and said to Hei Zetsu:
"Master Black Zetsu, when are we going to set off? I have long wanted to meet the Shura of the Ninja Realm and see how big the gap is between him and that imposter."
"The masked man is definitely no match for Madara-sama, but I'm not really sure about the gap between them."
After a pause, Black Zetsu continued, "But when you meet Uchiha Madara later, you'd better be respectful. Uchiha Madara has a bad temper."
“Of course I know this…”
Bai Ye nodded, and then seemed to remember something, and said to Black Zetsu: "By the way, Lord Black Zetsu, between you and Lord Madara, who is the leader of the Moon Eye Project?"
Black Zetsu's face darkened, he took a deep breath and said, "I am the one who made the plan, but for now, we still need to rely on the combat power of Uchiha Madara and the masked man, and let them take the lead for the time being."
Bai Ye showed a puzzled look and asked puzzledly:
"With our current strength, it seems that we don't need to cooperate with them and can complete the plan independently. And will they really believe in the so-called Moon Eye?"
"A genjutsu that covers the entire ninja world is pretty outrageous just to think about it."
Black Zetsu fell silent, he didn't know how to answer Bai Ye.
The Moon Eye Project is of course true. As long as all the tailed beasts are collected to revive the Ten-Tails, the power of the Ten-Tails can be used to perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi Technique, causing all life in the Ninja World to fall into a deep sleep.
In this process, everyone will have a beautiful dream, and their bodies will gradually turn into White Zetsu.
After absorbing most of the chakra, the Ten-Tails will immediately turn into a sacred tree and rescue its mother from the seal of the Six Paths Sage.
What he said was all true, but Bai Ye was skeptical about the Infinite Tsukuyomi Technique.
However, this is also a good thing for him. If Bai Ye does not believe in the Moon Eye Plan, he will stand firmly on his side and become his pawn against Uchiha and Obito.
After a moment's silence, Black Zetsu slowly spoke: "More people means fewer enemies. If Uchiha Madara and the masked man become enemies, it will be very troublesome for us to collect the tailed beasts."
Bai Ye nodded, indicating that Black Zetsu was right.
After chatting for a few more sentences, the two of them quickly moved towards where Uchiha Madara was.
Before arriving at the target location, Bai Ye sensed two chakras, one large and one small. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be the chakras of Uchiha Madara and Obito.
Obito's chakra is still within the normal range of Kage level, but Uchiha Madara's chakra is a bit exaggerated.
Although he is only in the state of Impure World Reincarnation, Uchiha Madara's chakra is not inferior to the tailed beasts, and even surpasses Shukaku who has less chakra.
However, when thinking about Uchiha Madara's strength, it is very normal to have such chakra.
The tailed beasts are monsters that can easily destroy a city. Without the same level of chakra, it would be impossible to accomplish the feat of contracting the Nine-Tails into a summoning beast.
Soon, Bai Ye saw Uchiha Madara wearing the armor of the Warring States Period in the distance.
Uchiha Madara also happened to look over. He had noticed Bai Ye's chakra a long time ago and was somewhat curious about this chakra amount which was second only to his own and Senju Hashirama's.
After arriving at the open space, Black Zetsu said to Uchiha Madara: "Master Madara, I have brought Byakuya here. Do you have any other instructions?"
Uchiha Madara stretched out his hand to signal Black Zetsu to retreat, and while looking at Bai Ye, he asked:
"Are you Bai Ye, the leader of the Akatsuki organization? I heard that you are a descendant of the Senju and Uzumaki clans, and have inherited the common heritage of the two clans?"
Bai Ye shook his head and said, "I do have the blood of the Senju and Uzumaki clan, but I only know the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan. I only know the Wood Release Bloodline with the help of Black Zetsu-sama."
"As for the inheritance of the Senju and Uzumaki clans, it was a performance by the masked man and I in front of the five major ninja villages."
"If I don't stand up to the masked man, the five major ninja villages will be attacked by the tailed beasts, and they will definitely call a five-kage conference to unite together. At that time, it will be difficult to collect the tailed beasts."
After hearing Bai Ye's words, Uchiha Madara nodded slightly.
After being resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, Uchiha Madara also inquired about what happened during his sleep.
During the time he was sleeping, Obito did more harm than good.
He attacked Konoha's Nine-Tails Jinchuriki before the time was ripe, but was defeated by the Fourth Hokage even though he had the advantage of time and place.
If Byakuya had not intervened later, there would have been no such person as Obito in the ninja world.
The Moon Eye Project would probably be known to everyone in the ninja world, and ultimately fail in the womb, and his own resurrection would be impossible.
Subsequent actions against the Uchiha clan further proved Obito's stupidity.
Obito has no ability to collect all the tailed beasts, and he used the Impure World Reincarnation to revive himself because he felt pressured by Byakuya. In contrast to Obito, Byakuya's performance was extremely impressive.
After joining the Moon Eye Project, he not only firmly controlled Nagato in his hands, but also secretly controlled the Sand Village and the Mist Village, and held most of the tailed beasts in his own hands.
Once the Moon Eye Project is officially launched, the plan to collect all the tailed beasts will be completed soon.
After a moment of silence, Uchiha Madara slowly said, "Bai Ye, I have heard about your story. You did a better job than the masked man in preparing for the Moon Eye Plan. I am very pleased about this."
Bai Ye said calmly, "Master Madara, I just did my job well."
Uchiha Madara nodded again. He was very satisfied with Bai Ye's attitude. He had both sufficient strength and was respectful enough to him, so he could not find any fault with him.
When Obito, who was standing by, saw this scene, his back teeth were about to break.
He resurrected Uchiha Madara in order to strike a blow against Bai Ye's arrogance, but he did not expect that Bai Ye would be recognized by Uchiha Madara. This made him feel like his fist was hitting cotton, and his anger had nowhere to be released.
At this time, Bai Ye also looked at Obito, and the provocation in his eyes was self-evident.
Uchiha Madara noticed this scene and smiled knowingly. When he had many younger brothers, his brothers also quarreled like this.
But later, all his brothers died in the battle with the Senju clan.
Now he no longer has any so-called family or friendship, and the only wish left in his heart is to carry out the Moon Eye Plan and realize the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
He didn't want to see the humans in the ninja world continue to live in this cruel world.
After collecting his gradually scattered thoughts, Uchiha Madara walked between Byakuya and Obito and slowly said:
"I know you two had some disagreements on the actions before, but now that I have awakened, you should all listen to me. Let's discuss how to implement the Moon Eye Plan."
Uchiha Madara spoke, and Byakuya and Obito stopped their eye contact. The three of them sat on the tables and chairs made of Wood Release, spread out the map of the Ninja World, and began to discuss their next plan.
After glancing at the map of the ninja world, Bai Ye said, "Master Madara, except for the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails, the rest of the tailed beasts are under our control. However, if we attack the Four-Tails, Five-Tails, and Eight-Tails at the same time, we will still be insufficient to fight."
Hearing this, Uchiha Madara chuckled and said:
"Before coming here, I found the Four-Tails with the masked man. The Four-Tails Jinchuriki was quite strong and lasted for several rounds under my hands."
"If the Five-Tails Jinchuriki and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki are only this strong, we can complete the Moon Eye Project within a month."
From Uchiha Madara's tone, dealing with the Jinchūriki was as easy as drinking water and eating.
This is indeed the case. In his prime, Uchiha Madara was able to crush a single tailed beast. Even if multiple tailed beasts joined together, they were no match for Uchiha Madara.
It can be said that in the current ninja world, no human sacrifice or ninja village can be a match for Uchiha Madara.
However, in this case, Bai Ye would not be able to maximize his benefits. His goal is to make the Akatsuki organization bigger and stronger, not to realize the Moon Eye Project.
If all humans fell into a deep sleep, then the Akatsuki organization would be destroyed in disguise.
Although Akatsuki will not be considered destroyed as long as he does not die, it will become very difficult for him to improve his strength, so he must stop Uchiha Madara from taking simple and brutal actions.
After pondering for a while, Bai Ye said to Uchiha Madara:
"Master Madara, don't underestimate the five great ninja villages. We have the advantage in terms of high-end power, but if the five great ninja villages fight back desperately, we will still suffer considerable losses."
"Our goal is peace in the ninja world, and we should minimize casualties in the process."
Uchiha Madara glanced at Byakuya. He knew that Byakuya joined the Moon Eye Project not to achieve Infinite Tsukuyomi, but to use the power of the Ten-Tails to rule the ninja world.
This was also what he thought before looking at the Uchiha Stele.
He wanted to unify the ninja world in the same way that Hashirama Senju unified the Fire Country, but for some reason, after integrating the Fire Country, Hashirama gave up the idea of external expansion.
Therefore, after hearing that Bai Ye had similar ideas, he was also quite interested.
Looking at Bai Ye who had his former dream, Uchiha Madara decided to give Bai Ye a chance and asked Bai Ye: "A quick victory is the fastest way to deal with the enemy. Do you have any other ideas?"
Bai Ye shook his head and said, "My idea is also to fight quickly and decisively, but I think that only by gathering them together to solve the problem can the losses be minimized."
"Gather the top leaders of the five major ninja villages together?"
Before Uchiha Madara could speak, Obito frowned and said:
"Are you trying to force the five major ninja villages to hold the Five Kage Conference? The Five Kage are all ninjas at the top of the ninja world. If they gather together, it will be difficult to defeat them all with our fighting power."
“It’s difficult…”
Bai Ye nodded slightly, and then said: "However, if we can subdue the Five Kage by force, it will become very easy for us to force the Five Great Ninja Villages to surrender."
"If we can show the power of the Ten-Tails by then, we will be able to unify the ninja world and keep it in a state of peace and stability for a long time."
"More importantly, I don't want to win unfairly. Before I build the tailed beast weapon, I want to see what my limit is and whether I can defeat the five Kage on my own."
"You want to defeat the Five Kage alone?"
Obito under the mask was full of shock. When he had just inherited Uchiha Madara's legacy, he also had the illusion that he was invincible. He thought he could easily deal with the Hokage and then complete the Moon Eye Plan.
But the reality was cruel. The Fourth Hokage in a hostile state was even more terrifying than he expected.
Bai Ye actually wants to fight the Five Kage alone. This is undoubtedly a pipe dream and something that is impossible to accomplish. I'm afraid Uchiha Madara would not agree with Bai Ye's crazy idea.
Black Zetsu, who was hiding in the dark, frowned. He opposed Bai Ye's proposal.
He didn't want any changes to happen to the collection of tailed beasts, which was originally a sure win, but he knew Uchiha Madara and knew that he could not refuse Byakuya's proposal.
And just as Black Zetsu thought, Uchiha Madara showed a meaningful expression after hearing Bai Ye's arrogant speech:
"Bai Ye brat, do you really want to fight the Five Kage alone?"
Bai Ye nodded, and then said: "I have met many opponents over the years, but neither the demigod Hanzo nor the masked man are my opponents. I am eager for new challenges."
Uchiha Madara narrowed his eyes slightly, and said eagerly: "The plan to defeat the Five Kage is crazy, and I like it very much, but if you want to change the plan I made, you must pay some price."
"Fight with me. If you can show me the fighting ability that satisfies me, I will listen to your advice."
