He rested in the Ninja World for a few days; after all, continuous training was indeed very tiring. Although his body could endure it, the mental exhaustion still needed time to alleviate.
This time, he only brought Itachi. Others were not needed. Senju Tobirama now spent most of his time instructing Nagato, as if he wanted to guide Nagato to become just like him.
As for research, he had almost given up on it because, back then, research was specifically aimed at the Uchiha!
The Uchiha were his lifelong enemies!
Now that the Senju were practically gone and the Uchiha could no longer be stopped, why continue researching?
When he returned, he was still on Gran Tesoro. Most of the matters here had been resolved, and Uchiha Tamahiko didn't need to do anything else. After directly taking away two Celestial Dragons, the rest was left to Doflamingo and Kakuzu to handle.
Tesoro was assigned as Kakuzu's deputy, also responsible for banking operations.
Without the Celestial Dragons, the World Government naturally wouldn't exert much effort to deal with Gran Tesoro. Ordinary nobles had even less power to threaten Doflamingo, so he didn't need to worry about the remaining matters.
Returning to Dressrosa, he sent the First Hokage back to rest and arranged for Itachi to be on duty there, assisting Shisui.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Tamahiko was preparing to find a special entity: Zunesha.
This might be the only possibility to inquire about the hidden trump cards within Mary Geoise.
After making arrangements, Uchiha Tamahiko set off directly.
Because Zunesha was constantly moving and not fixed in one location, it required some searching to find him.
After some time, Uchiha Tamahiko found Zunesha wandering in the sea. He landed directly on his head and then dispelled Susanoo.
However, Susanoo's size was too immense. The Mink Tribe residing on Zunesha naturally noticed it and rushed towards Zunesha's head.
"Can you hear my voice?" Uchiha Tamahiko asked tentatively.
However, he received no response. Zunesha still moved forward with extremely slow steps.
Seeing this, Uchiha Tamahiko didn't hesitate. He directly activated his Rinnegan, and a powerful mental force surged directly from his feet, through Zunesha's head, and into his mind.
The Rinnegan has a certain suppressive effect on animals, and Zunesha was no exception. Zunesha's eyes immediately took on the appearance of the Rinnegan, and Uchiha Tamahiko successfully gained control of Zunesha.
Then, he immediately began to read his memories. After about a few minutes, Uchiha Tamahiko awoke, his face a little pale. There were too many useless memories, and finding what he wanted was not easy, taking a considerable amount of time. After all, these memories couldn't be searched with a search engine; he could only spend time sifting through them.
"The protagonist is indeed the protagonist. That Joy Boy is a user of the Gomu Gomu no Mi. It seems Luffy is too. If I can't receive it, I don't even need to work hard; letting Luffy do it would be simpler."
"But regarding Imu, there are only a few simple scenes, along with a scene of Zunesha destroying a certain island. Is this also the reason for his atonement?"
Uchiha Tamahiko's expression was a bit grim. After all, he came this time hoping to find information about Imu, but in the end, he only confirmed that Luffy was the protagonist. As for Imu, besides seeing his appearance, he knew nothing about his abilities. It seemed Zunesha and Imu didn't have much contact.
Zunesha was almost like a slug, basically staying at home and not going out. There were too many boring memories, and he found almost nothing about Imu.
Uchiha Tamahiko left with a look of ill luck. By the time the Mink Tribe arrived, they could only see the retreating figure of Susanoo.
Afterward, Uchiha Tamahiko went to several places, but they were basically all messages left by Joy Boy. However, he found very little about Imu.
"It seems he must have destroyed them all. The lost history should contain records of him, but not a single trace can be found."
Uchiha Tamahiko gave up.
It seemed these historical records had the potential to overturn the current world, so he had hidden them away.
Thus, he returned to Dressrosa to continue his seclusion, developing the awakened Ope-Ope no Mi, while also awaiting Sengoku's information.
Three months later, the New Government and the World Government seemed to coexist without conflict, with no further clashes, maintaining a tacit understanding.
And Sengoku's Den Den Mushi contact finally arrived.
"I thought you were going to betray us and were already preparing for war against the World Government."
Uchiha Tamahiko replied teasingly.
"I have already convinced all Marine high-ranking officials except Sakazuki."
"You can start acting."
Sengoku was very serious. These days, he had been living in fear, terrified of being discovered.
Fujitora was the easiest to persuade, as he had only recently joined the Marine and also recognized the ideals of the New Government. Borsalino was not too difficult either. He hadn't expected his contemporary Tsuru to be the most troublesome. Garp stated that he would not participate, only retiring in the East Blue and not bothering with other matters. Zephyr, after his arm was ambushed and severed by Whitebeard Jr. and losing a large number of students, no longer had his previous tolerance for pirates. He was eventually persuaded, but he had to talk to Tsuru for a long time before she finally agreed.
"Alright, there will be no targeting of the Marine. It will continue as it is treated by the current World Government."
"By the way, regarding Mary Geoise, do you know about their fallback plan?"
Uchiha Tamahiko reassured Sengoku while asking.
"The Gorosei should possess a certain level of combat power. They feel strong to me, but I'm not sure of the specifics. And their exclusive CP0 is also very powerful. That's all I know."
Sengoku paused for a moment, then said.
He felt that Uchiha Tamahiko's strength should be able to resolve the Gorosei.
Moreover, Uchiha Tamahiko had many powerful subordinates, plus Kuzan, Monkey D. Dragon, and the current Marine Admirals Fujitora and Kizaru, they should be able to deal with the Celestial Dragons.
"The person behind the Gorosei, do you know someone named Imu?"
Uchiha Tamahiko directly asked by name.
"Imu?"
"I have never heard that name. Is he the person behind the Gorosei?"
Sengoku was somewhat surprised, asking with a heavy tone. He had never imagined that there was someone above the Gorosei, which made him somewhat uneasy.
"Alright, you can leave these matters to me."
"Just wait for my notification."
Uchiha Tamahiko also didn't put pressure on Sengoku, lest the fellow back down, as his stance was already not firm. After speaking, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Then he directly opened a portal and returned to the Ninja World.
"Contact the Kage of the Five Great Villages and have them prepare their personnel. I will personally come to them tomorrow."
Uchiha Tamahiko arranged for Nagato to do so.
This time, it was truly an invasion of the Ninja World. He planned to squat near Mary Geoise, and whoever dared to come down would be directly killed. He wanted to see if he could force the opponent to reveal himself and leave Mary Geoise.
After all, they had already gone to such lengths, but the opponent still hadn't shown up and remained in Mary Geoise. There must be some reason for it.
Uchiha Tamahiko didn't want to be the fool in movies who always tested danger. Drawing them out was the most important thing.
