"No need to be polite!"
Akira waved his hand indifferently. "Then I'll set off now!"
As he spoke, he stretched lazily and said, "I've been running across three battlefields in a row recently. It's completely worn me out. I can finally get some proper rest."
When Minato, Shikaku, and the others heard this, they fell silent for a moment. Then Shikaku spoke. "It's good that you can think that way! Not everyone can be as open-minded as you. Unfortunately, some things aren't something the current us can change. I hope there will be better changes in the future!"
Were they dissatisfied with the Third Hokage and the others?
Of course they were!
They could clearly rely on Akira's overwhelming fighting strength to quickly end the wars on the other three battlefields, yet for their own selfish desires and to consolidate their own authority, the Third Hokage and the others would rather hide Akira away than quickly end the war.
"Hopefully! Heh!"
Akira smiled faintly, but he did not care much in his heart.
As long as the people he cared about did not get into trouble, then whatever happened elsewhere was of no concern to him.
After saying this, he waved his hand and quickly left the place.
Sakumo did the same.
"I should also head to the Sunagakure battlefield next! I'll leave this side to you, Senior Shikaku!"
Minato waited until Akira and the others had gone far away before speaking to Nara Shikaku.
Shikaku nodded. "Take care on the road!"
"Take care!"
Somewhere underground in the Land of Fire, inside a cavern, Uchiha Madara once again received Black Zetsu and White Zetsu's report. "The members of the Uchiha clan have already arrived at the eastern Kirigakure battlefield for several days now. Several of our targets this time are among them. We can begin!"
"Oh?"
When Uchiha Madara heard this, he nodded in satisfaction. "That's good. However, Kirigakure doesn't seem to be a match for that brat named Akira. As long as he's there, they won't dare start a war at all. Looks like we'll have to get that brat away, or directly deal with him."
He could not allow Akira to affect the progress of his plan.
"No need to worry about that, Lord Madara!"
Spiral White Zetsu spoke with a cheerful expression. "That brat named Akira and Sakumo Hatake went to the Kumogakure battlefield for support seven or eight days ago. Kirigakure already found out about this five days ago, and they started fighting again long ago. At present, Konoha is at a disadvantage on the battlefield over there."
"Hm?"
When Uchiha Madara heard this, his brows immediately furrowed. He looked expressionlessly at Black Zetsu and White Zetsu and questioned them, "Why didn't you tell me such important information earlier?"
These bastards really were unreliable sometimes!
"Ah!"
When Spiral White Zetsu heard this, he froze for a moment, then tilted his head and said, "I forgot! Mainly because I was thinking about what it feels like to poop! Hey, hey! Lord Madara, can you tell me? I really—"
Uchiha Madara: "…"
"Shut up! If you dare mention that to me again, I'll kill you!"
Uchiha Madara roared angrily.
What exactly had he created?
If not for the fact that Spiral White Zetsu's strength and potential were both quite good, and he did not want to waste it, he would have torn this thing apart long ago.
Feeling Uchiha Madara's killing intent, Spiral White Zetsu ultimately chose to behave and stopped babbling nonsense.
After slightly calming his emotions, Uchiha Madara continued asking, "In other words, Sakumo Hatake and that Akira brat won't be able to return in the short term?"
That was good news.
"No!"
Black Zetsu spoke. "That brat's strength once again exceeded our expectations. He actually relied on his own strength to defeat an attack from seven or eight thousand Kumogakure ninja, killing over a thousand Cloud ninja. In addition, he severely wounded the Third Raikage with a single strike. His strength is probably already among the top tier even within the Kage level."
"This person has already become a considerable threat. I think we should eliminate him in advance. We can't allow him to keep growing like this."
Black Zetsu sensed a threat.
He faintly felt that Akira's strength had barely reached the quasi-Super Kage level.
Although he was still far inferior to Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama at their peaks, this brat was young.
Who knew how far he could grow in the future?
In the past, Black Zetsu had not cared much because Akira's bloodline was ordinary. But now, he had no choice but to care.
In this world, there were always some strange anomalies that could break convention.
He had to guard against them.
"Severely wounded the Third Raikage with a single strike? I remember the Third Raikage is quite strong, isn't he?"
Uchiha Madara also asked with slight surprise.
"Yes!"
Black Zetsu nodded. "The Third Raikage once fought head-on against the rampaging Eight-Tails and suppressed its rampage without taking any damage. His strength is absolutely not weak."
After hearing this, Uchiha Madara also fell silent for a moment. Then he snorted lightly. "That does indeed mean he isn't bad. Since that's the case, I'll go test that brat's quality myself!"
As he spoke, Uchiha Madara directly beckoned toward a White Zetsu.
The White Zetsu ran over in some confusion. In the next moment, Uchiha Madara grabbed him. "Don't resist!"
"Shapeshifting Technique!"
In the next moment, Uchiha Madara directly used the Shapeshifting Technique, pouring half of his chakra into the White Zetsu's body while temporarily projecting his consciousness onto him.
At this moment, the White Zetsu's appearance had already changed, becoming Uchiha Madara's young self.
Meanwhile, his true body closed its eyes and fell into slumber.
"The feeling of being young really is the best! Hahaha!"
Uchiha Madara moved his body and threw his head back in wild laughter.
This Ninjutsu was quite good. Black Zetsu had obtained it from the Akatsuki.
Unfortunately, it could only be maintained temporarily.
He still needed to die once, then use the Rinnegan to revive himself in the state where he possessed his eyes.
Next, Uchiha Madara took out a sealing scroll from his original body. He undid the seal and removed a container from inside.
It contained a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan.
Uchiha Madara directly gouged out White Zetsu's eyeballs one by one, installed the two three-tomoe Sharingan, then injected the eye power he had brought with him into the pair of Sharingan.
Immediately, the Sharingan upgraded from three-tomoe to Mangekyō.
But right after that, they degenerated back into three-tomoe, then two-tomoe, one-tomoe, and finally returned to ordinary black eyes.
For outsiders, the Sharingan could not be turned off, but that was not the case here with Uchiha Madara.
"Unfortunately, raising them to Mangekyō is already the limit, and it's only temporary. I estimate they'll be scrapped after supporting one hour of high-intensity combat. Still, that's enough."
As he spoke, Uchiha Madara turned and instructed Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, "Let's go! Take me to find that brat."
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu immediately accepted the order, attached themselves to Uchiha Madara, then used the Mayfly Technique to merge into the ground and began swiftly moving through the soil.
At the same time, they also connected with other White Zetsu at any moment to confirm the area.
"Lord Madara! That brat is currently on his way back to Konoha. He's still over a hundred kilometers away from our side."
Black Zetsu reported to Uchiha Madara.
"Oh?"
When Uchiha Madara heard this, he smiled faintly. "That works out perfectly."
On the other side, Akira traveled toward Konoha at an unhurried pace, as if he were touring mountains and rivers.
Halfway through, he also split off two shadow clones and sent them toward the eastern Kirigakure battlefield.
"I hope they can collect some corpses or Sharingan from the Uchiha clan! When the time comes, I can test exactly how effective the Dark-Dark Fruit's devouring ability is. Maybe it can even let me directly obtain the Sharingan!"
"In addition, the Yuki clan's Ice Release, the Kaguya clan's Dead Bone Pulse, and the Hozuki clan's Hydrification Technique all seem pretty good!"
If he could obtain them, it would be worth trying.
There was no better opportunity than the battlefield to obtain the corpses of ninja from these Kekkei Genkai clans.
