Uchiha Setsuna has now become Uchiha Madara's proxy.
Seeing Uchiha Madara now as a corpse, Black Zetsu was very happy.
Firstly, it was naturally because the plan was finally about to begin.
Secondly... finally no one would be sarcastic towards him.
As Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's most favored child, what kind of appearance was it to be constantly disregarded by a brat!
Black Zetsu walked up to Uchiha Setsuna and said, "From now on, I will call you Madara. Now, let the White Zetsu arm, which possesses Hashirama cellss, be transplanted onto your left arm."
Because Black Zetsu was the embodiment of Uchiha Madara's will, Uchiha Madara had told him to treat Black Zetsu as himself, so Uchiha Setsuna also began to revere Black Zetsu in his heart.
After all, this feeling was like his idol was watching him at all times.
Uchiha Setsuna nodded, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, Black Zetsu."
"There's no need to be polite with me; we are both working to fulfill his great mission."
Although he said that, Black Zetsu still felt quite pleased in his heart.
Especially Uchiha Setsuna's gaze, that look of adoration, was a little thrilling.
Black Zetsu tore off a White Zetsu arm and directly attached it to the severed part of Uchiha Setsuna's left arm, connecting them together.
Uchiha Setsuna's newly attached arm quickly gained sensation, and he was already able to control his arm.
Uchiha Setsuna marveled at the White Zetsu body.
Not only could it be eaten, but it could also complete his arm; it was simply too miraculous.
Black Zetsu said to Uchiha Setsuna, "Next, you are to go to Hidden Rain Village and make contact with a person named Nagato, guide Nagato to accept and agree with your ideology, and then collect the Tailed Beasts."
Uchiha Setsuna replied, "That's the guy who had Lord Madara's Rinnegan transplanted, right? Then let's go!"
As Uchiha Setsuna and Black Zetsu were preparing to leave Mount Cemetery, they passed by a stone chamber and discovered several clothes Uchiha Madara had once worn, as well as various weapons.
Uchiha Setsuna paced over to a piece of clothing, picked it up, and stared at it in his hand for a long time.
Just as Black Zetsu didn't know what Uchiha Setsuna was looking at and was about to ask, Uchiha Setsuna suddenly pressed the clothes against his face and took a deep sniff.
"Ah~ It's Lord Madara's scent!"
Black Zetsu shivered with disgust, his gaze towards Uchiha Setsuna growing increasingly strange.
These clothes had been here for how many years? How could they possibly have Uchiha Madara's scent? He must be inhaling dust, right?
Black Zetsu suddenly felt a chill.
In Uchiha Setsuna's eyes, he was the embodiment of Uchiha Madara. Would this guy also try to sniff him like he sniffed these clothes in the future?
No way~
Uchiha Setsuna, with a devout expression, stripped himself bare, then put on Uchiha Madara's clothes and a spiral-patterned mask.
Afterward, Uchiha Setsuna chose a ninja blade and wore it on his body.
Uchiha Setsuna's gaze was incredibly firm: "Let's go, Black Zetsu, for Lord Madara! I must make Lord Madara's wish come true!"
Black Zetsu pursed his lips and echoed, "Hmm, I believe in you~"
No! This guy is too perverted; I need to be on guard against him in the future!
...
Konoha.
Shindai had been holed up at home for several days without going out.
Shindai thought of many plans, such as building a flying mechanical bird to go to Hidden Sand Village to deliver a letter to Pakura and so on.
However, all these plans were rejected by Shindai.
Because the uncertainty was too great; he didn't want to end up not helping but instead causing trouble for Pakura.
Shindai scratched the back of his head hard: "So annoying!"
Just as Shindai was distressed, the front door was suddenly kicked open.
Obito stood at the doorway and shouted, "Shindai, hurry to the Hokage Building! Hokage-sama is looking for you; there's a huge piece of good news!"
Shindai asked doubtfully, "Huge good news? Is Hokage-sama getting remarried?"
Kakashi almost laughed at Shindai, "Remarried? What kind of brain do you have? Hokage-sama's wife is still alive, and they're very much in love. Plus, Lady Biwa is a very strict person; she wouldn't allow Hokage-sama to have two wives. So the good news Obito mentioned is about you, not Hokage-sama!"
Shindai was even more puzzled, "Good news about me? What is it? Is Hokage-sama abdicating and letting me be Hokage? That wouldn't be good, I've been in Konoha for such a short time, and I'm so young. No one would obey me if I were Hokage."
Rin Nohara's head was a bit messy, "Shindai, what are you talking about? First, Hokage-sama is getting remarried, then you're going to be Hokage. He wants you to go to the Hokage Building because Orochimaru-sama is also there. Hokage-sama asking you to go, the meaning is very clear: he plans to set you and Orochimaru-sama up as master and disciple!"
"Uh..."
Shindai really wanted to curse.
What kind of huge good news is this! It's clearly the worst possible bad news, isn't it?!
"My, my stomach hurts so much, I need to poop. Please ask for leave for me; I might not be able to go!"
Shindai covered his stomach and rushed towards the bedroom.
Obito and Kakashi, with an Instantaneous Body Technique, blocked Shindai from left and right. Even Rin Nohara grabbed Shindai's clothes, not letting him leave.
The three of them had already conspired; the only person who could cure Shindai's terrible personality was Orochimaru.
So no matter what, even if they had to drag him, they would drag Shindai to the Hokage Building today!
"Shindai, that's one of the Sannin! How many people wish they could become Orochimaru-sama's disciple, and you still want to run? What are you thinking?!"
"And this time, Hokage-sama is setting you and Orochimaru-sama up. Do you want to stand up Hokage-sama and Orochimaru-sama? Do you still want to get by in Konoha?!"
"Today, even if you're going to give birth, you have to go to the Hokage Building to give birth!"
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara forcibly dragged Shindai towards the Hokage Building.
Two lines of hot tears streamed from Shindai's eyes as he was dragged.
If he had the Uchiha Clan bloodline, he would definitely have awakened his eyes by now!
Shindai was forcibly brought into the Hokage Office in the Hokage Building.
Obito was now so excited it was as if he was about to be taken as Orochimaru's disciple. He excitedly said to Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Hokage-sama, Shindai is here! I heard he's going to become Orochimaru-sama's disciple, and Shindai is so moved he's shedding tears of gratitude!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru both looked at Shindai.
Tears were indeed flowing, but they didn't look like tears of gratitude, did they?
Kakashi bowed towards Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, saying, "Then, Hokage-sama, Orochimaru-sama, we will take our leave first."
Rin Nohara gave Shindai a cheering gesture: "Shindai, good luck!"
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara left the Hokage Office.
Now only Shindai remained in the office, facing the gazes of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru. Shindai felt a chill in his heart.
I want to escape~ but I can't escape~
