Chapter 194 An Unexpected Follow-up Move

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Since you don't want to talk about your purpose, let's talk about that masked man!"

Chiyu took the initiative to steer the conversation back on track: "In my original plan, although Akatsuki was still in Pain's hands, you shouldn't have been in such a hurry to come looking for me."

"Where did the problem go wrong?" Qianyu asked curiously.

She was genuinely curious.

"Let me start by talking about that person's Eye of the Moon Plan!" Black Zetsu sighed and began to narrate quietly.

The grand plan of the Eye of the Moon is gradually unfolding.

Upon hearing about the insane plan to project the Ten-Tails' power onto the moon and cast Infinite Tsukuyomi on everyone, even Sasuke, the last member of the Uchiha clan, thought it was just too Uchiha-like.

As Black Zetsu recounts his story, the predicaments of both Black Zetsu and Obito are revealed to Chiba.

Their predicament is simple: their own strength is insufficient.

In their original plan, they would put Nagato out as a front-line pawn to fight against the five great ninja villages, and then betray Nagato at a crucial moment, allowing Nagato to revive Madara Uchiha.

Of course, Black Zetsu wouldn't be so honest as to directly reveal Madara Uchiha's existence. So it only said that he and Obito would betray Nagato at a crucial moment, seize the Rinnegan, and control the Ten-Tails.

But now, Pain is neither dead nor weakened, and he intends to use the Gedo Mazo, this super weapon, to attack the five great ninja villages, just as he originally planned.

Launching an attack is not inherently problematic; the issue lies in the irreversible process of awakening the Gedo Mazo.

In other words, once the plan is launched, the Gedo Mazo will slowly but steadily transform into the Ten-Tails and become the Divine Tree.

By then, even if Nagato is dull-witted, he will be able to realize that he has been deceived.

Furthermore, Nagato absolutely cannot control the Ten-Tails, meaning that the Ten-Tails will go out of control.

Obito and Black Zetsu's goals were, respectively, the Eye of the Moon and the resurrection of Kaguya Otsutsuki, both of which required the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki as a prerequisite.

An out-of-control Divine Tree that only knows how to gather all the chakra in the ninja world is not in their interest.

Furthermore, with the war against the five great ninja villages underway, the situation was chaotic, and there was a risk that one of the Rinnegan could not be retrieved.

Therefore, Black Zetsu and Obito could neither allow the Allied Shinobi Forces to completely overwhelm Akatsuki, nor could they allow Akatsuki to completely overwhelm the Allied Shinobi Forces.

At the same time, before the Ten-Tails is fully resurrected, the Rinnegan must be retrieved to gain control of the Ten-Tails.

This time window is very short, and careful operation is required.

After listening to Black Zetsu's explanation, Chiba understood: "In short, it's because we're lacking filler characters, right? Isn't Pain's Rain Village enough?"

Before he traveled through time, many people questioned where Pain went with the money he earned from Akatsuki. Some even joked that he used it all to buy explosive tags for Konan, which made Kakuzu cry in the toilet.

But now that Chiba is part of the story, he knows that Pain used all the money he earned from Akatsuki to support Amegakure.

Just look at the architectural style of Rain Village: a cluster of steel and iron spires built on a body of water, usually navigable by small boats, much like Venice.

Just think about it. How could the Rain Village, which was originally dilapidated and poor, afford to support these steel towers in the ninja world, a society with the most advanced technology and modern times?

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the new Amegakure is a ninja village under the rule of the gods. Konan, the apparent messenger of the gods, is truly an angel to the people of the new Amegakure—an angel investor, after all.

As for why it's called the New Rain Village, where did the original Rain Village go, and where did the sea that sank during Pain's battle with Jiraiya come from in the New Rain Village...

That's a question for Pain's Super Shinra Tensei!

Amegakure is not Konoha; it lacks Konoha's excellent geographical environment, where a village built in a pit can still avoid being flooded by rain.

"not enough!"

Hei Jue shook his head dismissively: "Phoenix Temple Chiba, you were once a member of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Under full mobilization, each village can mobilize at least 20,000 ninja soldiers."

"In this situation, how could Payne's playful toys be enough?"

It's clear that Black Zetsu is very dissatisfied.

Akatsuki's plan should have started ten years ago. At that time, the ninja world was weak after the war, and Minato Namikaze, the brightest star of the Third Shinobi World War, was killed by Obito. The Akatsuki members were also mostly gathered. That would have been the best opportunity.

But Pain insisted on collecting money and using so many Kage-level ninjas as mercenaries, giving the ninja world more than ten years of rest, and Obito had no objections. Black Zetsu was truly speechless.

"I see!" Qianyu roughly understood Black Zetsu's helplessness.

"So how do you plan to fill in the missing part? Let me make it clear first, I'm not Naruto, I can't be an army by myself!" Chiyu reminded her.

"Well, I have my own way of doing that!" Black Zetsu smiled mysteriously.

"Dong dong dong..."

A new knocking sounded at the door.

Bai Jue A Fei walked in, carrying a person.

Qianyu looked up and saw Bai Jue Afei remove his mask, revealing a somewhat childish face.

Looking at that face that she had only glimpsed briefly before her transmigration, Qianyu rarely showed a look of shock.

Enjoying Chiyu's shock, Black Zetsu smiled with satisfaction: "Phoenix Temple Chiyu, this is the helper I prepared for you!"

"Trust me, this is the perfect partner for you!"

Shortly after, Black Zetsu left happily after discussing the follow-up plans.

After watching Black Zetsu leave, Chiba and Sasuke remained silent for a long while.

After a long pause, Chiyu spoke up: "Sasuke, what do you think?"

“It didn’t lie…” Sasuke pondered, “but sometimes all it takes to lie is to reveal part of the truth.”

"That's right, that's what I think too."

Chiyu nodded in agreement: "So for this war, you'll go to the camp of the Five Great Ninja Villages. Of course, you'll only appear at the crucial moment!"

"what?"

Sasuke looked up abruptly, his face full of confusion: "Why?"

"Because I need a surprise weapon."

Qianyu calmly said, "I need you as a key variable to deal with that absolutely hidden thing."

"At the same time, with you as a key force, I can also hide some things."

Qianyu explained, "After all, I did promise that Jue, but I never thought I would do my utmost for it."

"I see!" Sasuke frowned, deep in thought. "Alright, if that's what you need, then I can do it."

"Alright!" Chiyu reached out and smoothed Sasuke's furrowed brows. "It's just a temporary antagonism, and besides, haven't you always wanted to know just how strong I really am now?"

"This time you can have a small taste."

The episode ends with Sasuke's slightly flushed cheeks, marking the conclusion of this segment that will be shown as a flashback in the future.

Amidst the intensive preparations of the five great ninja villages and Akatsuki, the winds of the Fourth Shinobi World War finally began to blow slowly!
