Infinite Clone System - I.C.S Chapter 166: Speculation and Destiny

Not to mention Obito’s current emotional state, the speculation and unease in Black Zetsu’s mind is no less than Obito’s. The so-called ancient Wicked Tongue that has been hidden for thousands of years, he has survived the Sage of Six Paths era and Asura and Indra era, and has seen all kinds of grand scenes.

But at this moment, when he successfully deceived Asura and Indra and even successfully opened the Rinnegan, his plan is about to succeed and his mother will soon be released.

But…

(That guy shouldn’t be Madara, I saw Madara die with my own eyes, and even if he were still alive, he shouldn’t be able to use such a powerful Complete body Susanoo form.)

After Obito left, Zetsu continued to think.

He knows more than Uchiha Madara, the millennia of time are not in vain, his strength may not be strong, but the secrets of the ninja world cannot be hidden from him.

The Shichibukai and the Demon Clan, are organizations he has never heard of before, or rather, if they hadn’t appeared on their own, no one in the ninja world would have known about these two organizations.

But he is the only one who knows about the era of his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, he knows that his mother has always been accumulating power, it seems as if she was always on guard against something.

Could it be…

This so-called Demon Clan?

“It’s not impossible. According to the information he obtained, the Demon Clan had been hiding in the so-called invisible empire, also known as the Shadow World, after being defeated by the witches thousands of years ago.

Perhaps when his mother obtained that unparalleled power, she also noticed the other world that was hidden in the shadows of the ninja world. That’s why she decided to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi genjutsu to create the weapon, White Zetsu.

(Regardless, those two who can use the Golden Complete Body Susanoo and Wood Release Secret Techniques are too dangerous, we must find information about them quickly.)

He wasn’t worried about the ninja world having another set of Rinnegan eyes because only Madara could open the birth of Rinnegan eye in the ninja world today.

It’s not just about the powers of the Uchiha and the Senju clan being combined.

The most important thing to open the Rinnegan eye is to mix the Chakras of Asura and Indra, thus leading to the Chakras of the Sage of Six Paths.

And simply combining the Uchiha and Senju clans may lead to two completely opposite powers which could lead to the power of all things, but to open the Rinnegan eye with this…

It’s not impossible, but it would be very difficult.

Even Madara took decades to open the Rinnegan after obtaining the Chakra of the Sage of Six Paths, Even for him, as an Indra reincarnation, it was so difficult. Others wouldn’t be able to do it.

“Should we follow Tobi to Konoha?”

“Be quiet, we will go directly to Lituo Land, that’s the place we need to pay attention to.”

……………………………

“Oh well, Obito wants to come to Konoha now, but luckily, I have a clone in the Akatsuki organization.”

Naoto stroked his chin, it was indeed a good opportunity to capture the Nine-Tails now, as many of Konoha’s powerful ninjas such as the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, were not present, leaving only Orochimaru and Tsunade as the only defense. However, Tsunade had a severe case of hemophobia, which is the fear of blood, which made her a poor fighter, while Orochimaru had little resistance to illusion techniques. If Obito, the skilled illusionist, came, it would be like a walk in the park.

It was later said that Orochimaru’s weakness to illusions was due to the damage to his soul caused by his use of the Impure World Resurrection technique. If that was the case, then Orochimaru who hadn’t performed the technique yet may perform better now.

As for ninjas like Danzo, Mito Uzumaki, and Koharu, who were inclined to hide, Naoto didn’t want to include them in his calculation of fighting strength, as they had some fighting ability, but he didn’t expect them to stand out in this situation.

Well, it seems too difficult.

“But this kind of thing…I have to get involved anyway, right?”

However, traveling from the Rain Country to Konoha is not something that can be done quickly, even with the fastest horse-drawn carriage, it would take a month or two, and though ninja’s travel is far faster than a horse-drawn carriage, it still takes some time.

So Naoto was in no rush, he still had time to transfer his vision to his other clone.

… Time passed, and soon the ninja set off.

Jiraiya, Uchiha Fugaku, and Uchiha Shisui led a group of many ninjas to a remote small town outside the Land of Fire. According to their intelligence, the residents here had been evacuated a month ago, which means that the entire town may now be in the hands of the Demon Clan.

Even though they were in the Land of Fire, they were not in a favorable position.

“I have a question, Ace,” Jiraiya stood on a big tree, trying to see the situation in the town, and asked, “I want to ask, has the Shichibukai studied fate?”

“Fate?” Ace, who was also investigating the information, was surprised, and then turned his head, seeing the serious look on Jiraiya’s face.

“Maybe, but I’m not that interested in the concept of fate,” He raised his thumb and pointed at himself. “Maybe we are all sailing and rowing in this lake called fate, but that has nothing to do with me.”

“Nothing to do with you?” Jiraiya was puzzled.

“It’s simple, I can cry, laugh, be moved, be angry, all human emotions apply to me, this is a decision made by myself, not something that fate arranges.”

“Everyone has blood and flesh, and there is love and hate in life. Do you think all of this is predetermined by fate?”

“No, that’s not what I meant…Fate may not be as specific as you think. It’s probably just a trend.”

“That’s pointless then, if we can’t even control the path of our lives, then what’s the point of fate?” Ace scoffs.

“Forget it…it’s pointless to talk about it now.” Jiraiya sighs, “I wonder when things will change for the better.”

But since the topic was brought up and Ace was interested, he didn’t stop but asked again, “Looking at you, is there a problem with the so-called future in your eyes?”

Naoto previously received a large number of reputation points from the Toads of Mount Myōboku and knew that it was possibly because the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku Gamamaru had a prophecy. This old toad who experienced the era of Kaguya Ôtsutsuki, and can be said to be the greatest contributor to ending that era, and has stood tall for thousands of years, thanks to his ability to see the future and fate.

In a way, the Great Toad Sage is like a successful speculator, each bet has changed the world, from the Sage of Six Paths at the beginning to Naruto later.

Since that incident, Naoto knew that the old toad probably had a new prophecy, and it was related to him. Otherwise, Mount Myōboku wouldn’t have given him so many reputation points.

Although he was a member of Konoha, Naoto didn’t fully trust his own village, especially after the incident with the Nine-Tails, he knew the village was hiding something. He couldn’t shake off the feeling that the future was uncertain, and he didn’t know if he could change it.

That was why he wanted to take this moment to ask Jiraiya.
