Chapter 348 - Chapter 348: Black Zetsu's Conspiracy: Edo Rin

The Five Kage were instantly shocked, wasn't this the White Zetsu from the Fourth Great War, who had caused them heavy losses?

Black and white interlaced, different from ordinary White Zetsu, this was that Zetsu from the Akatsuki Organization.

Raikage instantly flew into a rage and was about to strike, "You actually dared to eavesdrop, GO TO HELL!"

Instead, just as he made his move, on his body appeared a White Zetsu, temporarily entangling him.

Black Zetsu seized this hard-won opportunity and slowly said, "I know you all have deep misunderstandings about me, but this time, I've come to surrender. As a high-ranking member of Akatsuki, I hold leverage over Uchiha Obito, don't you want it?"

At this time, Raikage had already broken free from the White Zetsu on him, and said angrily, "Spore Technique again, this trick, when did you plant it?"

Black Zetsu sneered, "Naturally, after you fought Madara and passed out."

A had gained a deeper understanding of the all-pervasive White Zetsu, 'This guy is truly a headache.'

But because of Black Zetsu's words, he temporarily held back his hand, "Weren't you Obito's loyal subordinate? You'd surrender too?"

Black Zetsu shook his head, "How could I possibly be Obito's subordinate? I only followed his orders out of loyalty to Leader Pain."

"But now, Leader Pain is already dead, and what Obito plans to do now is too crazy. I have no choice but to stand out and stop him."

Of Black Zetsu's words, A at most believed one part, and even that was only because Obito wanted to destroy the world, and indeed not all guys would be willing to go crazy along with Obito.

However, he still said, "Just now you said, you hold leverage over Uchiha Obito, what is it?"

Black Zetsu smiled and then said, "Naturally, it is the body tissue of the person Uchiha Obito cherishes the most, Nohara Rin."

Tsunade roared in anger, "You bastard! How can you have Rin's body tissue, could it be, the corpse beneath the Memorial Stone…"

However, before Tsunade finished speaking, Black Zetsu said, "Fifth Hokage, you misunderstand. The corpse under the Memorial Stone has long since decayed. This piece I have… is extremely fresh."

In fact, Black Zetsu had merely, after Rin's death, while watching the grief-stricken Obito, subconsciously taken some of Rin's blood and preserved it.

Even he hadn't expected this contingency to one day come in handy.

Raikage A already frowned, "A bit of body tissue, what use is it? The dead can't be brought back to life…"

Saying this, suddenly, A widened his eyes, "Could it be, you want… Edo Tensei?"

Black Zetsu smiled and said, "That's right, Edo Tensei. Aren't you all lacking a point of threat toward Obito? I'll now hand this threat point to you."

After speaking, he slowly took out a sealed scroll from the White Zetsu body he was attached to.

To be honest, aside from Tsunade, the other Four Kage were somewhat tempted. Raikage even said, "Tsunade, currently, Orochimaru is to some extent on our side, right? Can you ask him for a favor…"

Tsunade angrily said, "What, you want Orochimaru to Edo Tensei Rin, then force her, use her to threaten Obito?"

"Don't you think such a method is too excessive?"

Onoki remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Tsunade, in the face of a world-ending crisis, there's nothing that can't be tried, and nothing that can't be sacrificed."

Tsunade fell silent. She truly didn't wish to do such a thing. After all, Rin wasn't anyone important, just an ordinary Chunin of Konoha.

Come to think of it, aside from Kakashi, even others probably wouldn't have any objections.

Thinking of this, Tsunade gritted her teeth and said, "You all wait here, I'll go see Orochimaru!"

After speaking, her figure left.

The remaining Four Kage looked at Black Zetsu. Raikage said, "Since you said you want to surrender, shouldn't you tell us the intel you have?"

Black Zetsu revealed a seemingly sinister smile, "Of course. I'll tell you everything."

After a pause, Black Zetsu said, "Actually, the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan has one very fatal flaw."

This time, A became unsettled and asked, "What is it?"

Black Zetsu said, "Naturally… in the short moment after the technique is activated, the caster themselves will also fall into a genjutsu, unable to move, and there's no way to avoid this step."

"That moment will be Uchiha Obito's weakest. If we can seize it, we can completely kill him."

Once this intel came out, A immediately shouted, "Bullshit! At that moment, hasn't the technique already been activated? Everyone will have fallen into the genjutsu, the ninja world will already be finished, who can still strike Obito?"

Black Zetsu, however, shook his head and said, "No. Infinite Tsukuyomi, in essence, is just making everyone have a dream, no one said, that after dreaming, they can't wake up."

"At least, I have a way to wake someone up at that time. Then, Uchiha Obito will be finished."

Raikage snorted coldly, "You mean, let us cooperate to complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan, then after Infinite Tsukuyomi is enacted, you wake us up to strike Obito?"

Black Zetsu slowly said, "Correct."

A laughed angrily, "You think we're fools?"

Black Zetsu shook his head, "I'm merely offering a suggestion. As for whether to cooperate or not, all the power of choice lies with you, doesn't it?"

A sneered in disdain. If they were going to cooperate with Obito to enact Infinite Tsukuyomi, then what was the point of this war?

He reached out and said, "Anyway, hand over Nohara Rin's cell tissue first, then we talk about anything else."

Black Zetsu didn't hesitate, very readily tossed the scroll toward A.

All that about the caster falling into stiffness after the Infinite Tsukuyomi activates, was a lie. He merely wanted the Allied Forces to Edo Tensei Nohara Rin. After the dust settled, it would be one more threat against Uchiha Obito.

As for getting the Allied Forces to help enact Infinite Tsukuyomi, that was his sincere plan. If Infinite Tsukuyomi doesn't activate, how could Mother's seal ever be undone?

Ever since Six Paths Obito appeared, he no longer believed the Allied Forces had any chance of winning.

The existence of the Six Paths was the crushing of mortals by gods.

A suspiciously caught the scroll Black Zetsu tossed over.

'So cooperative? Is there some conspiracy in this?'

A looked at Onoki and asked, "Tsuchikage, what do you think of this matter?"

Onoki thought for a while, then said to Black Zetsu, "Since you can wake up from Infinite Tsukuyomi, why do you need us to act?"

Black Zetsu said, "Because my power isn't strong enough. Even a guard of the Mizukage can defeat me. Even if Obito is motionless, I might not be able to harm him."

"So, weak and helpless me can only seek your help."

Everyone couldn't help but look toward Terumi Mei.

Terumi nodded first, then said with some dissatisfaction, "What do you mean even one of my guards could defeat you? That Chojuro kid is very strong."
