Chapter 41: Black Zetsu's Guess, Akatsuki's Attention
Just as Izayoi and the sisters were filming lovely moments.
In rainy Hidden Rain Village, inside a steel building, someone was conversing with a multicolored thought body.
"Sasori, anything wrong?"
"Leader, have you ever gone to the Land of Rivers? Or rather, apart from the other five Pains, do you have any other copies?"
"No reason," Tendo Pain answered silently.
"Tell me."
"No."
"Okay, I believe you."
Sasori of the Red Sand nodded and spoke in a low tone, "Deidara and I met a man in the Land of Rivers. He is able to call meteorites and have the same repulsion and attraction as you."
When Tendo Pain heard this, his face finally changed slightly, "Who is he?"
"I don't know." Red Sand Sasori shook his head and said, "That man was wearing a black robe, had white hair, a white mask from top to bottom, and the mask wasn't eye-holed. His sense of perception was ridiculously strong."
"He just materialized in front of us, first referred to as a meteorite to surprise us, and then threatened me to hand over the puppet art and the production method of human puppets, but he did not intend to kill us."
"Then you're blaming me." Tendo Pain said casually.
"Perhaps."
Sasori Red Sand looked at Tendo Pain's Rinnegan and just burst into a low laugh, "I have only seen this kind of ruler-like power from you. If it is not you, then it means that there is another man in this world who possesses the same or the same grade of eyes as you."
"It seems that this ninja world isn't as mundane as I thought."
The moment spoken, the thought body of Sasori of the Red Sand slowly reduced and disappeared.
There was Pain remaining there for a few seconds before he drew his hand holding the ring out from his sleeve.
The instant afterward, the zero on the ring glowed with a weak light.
A few minutes afterward, a creature that looked like a pitcher plant wearing a black windbreaker, who was half-black, half-white in terms of face and body, appeared from the ground.
"Leader, orders?"
Black Zetsu's voice was hoarse.
"Order your clones to investigate someone."
Black and White Zetsu were briefed by Tendo Pain on all the information Sasori of the Red Sand had just given.
"What?!"
White Zetsu exclaimed, "Other than the leader, can any other person on this planet use Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in?"
"It's possible that it's a hidden technique to control repulsion and attraction, but the possibility is extremely low." Tendo Pain described his observation, "He has a clean white mask without eye holes. He is probably not showing off his perception, but does not want people to look at his eyes. He particularly went to Sasori to learn his puppet technique and how to create human puppets. If the eyes under his mask are like mine, then it's most likely to make the Six Paths of Pain."
"Go investigate this individual. If his eyes are indeed Rinnegan, then we must find him and kill him before he can appropriate the Gedo Mazo for himself from me."
"Yes."
Black and White Zetsu lowered their heads, and then used Mayfly Technique to dig into the ground and disappear.
Twenty minutes went by, after which Black and White Zetsu and Obito Uchiha chatted with each other in Kamui space.
"A weird person with the ability to use Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in?"
Obito Uchiha narrowed his eyes against Black Zetsu, the vessel of the will of Madara Uchiha, and asked, "Is there any chance that other concealed techniques other than Rinnegan can manipulate gravity?"
"I think Nagato's logic makes sense." Black Zetsu answered.
"That is to say, a lucky person inherited the Rinnegan and the Six Paths Technique that were created in a previous generation and left behind after the owner died?" Obito Uchiha immediately understood what Black Zetsu was telling him, and the face covered by the mask couldn't be seen what it was trying to say.
Black Zetsu didn't even speak, but his feelings were very heavy.
He never believed that there was anyone besides Nagato who had the Rinnegan.
After all, Black Zetsu took thousands of years openly and secretly in order to spellbind Indra Otsutsuki and reincarnated generations of Indras for the generation of the second Rinnegan.
He was also very certain that Hagoromo Otsutsuki was not inheriting his Rinnegan.
Following which he had acquired the Rinnegan, no one was able to acquire it and leverage the powers of the Rinnegan in such thousands of years.
As long as somebody utilized the abilities of Rinnegan, Black Zetsu would not have to wait until Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju's time.
But repulsion and attraction are not something everybody can control by any secret method.
The moon in the sky is made up of gravity.
White hair, an eyeless mask, senses so keen that they can replace eyes.
Black Zetsu already had a theory in his heart.
If accidents didn't exist, that enigmatic fellow originated from. the moon.
Wouldn't it be possible for Hamura's eyes to also have such abilities?
Black Zetsu grumbled to himself.
He was born too late, and his mother was sealed when he came down.
In the ninja world where the world was at peace, only Hagoromo Otsutsuki moved when he embarked on a path of atonement, and Hamura Otsutsuki married wives and concubines to create his family.
Black Zetsu, fearing them, didn't dare go near.
They only knew that once Hagoromo Otsutsuki wasn't the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, Hamura Otsutsuki took some of his citizens to live on the moon.
Early on, both of these generations of people stayed in touch.
This also told Black Zetsu that there is a space channel between the moon and the earth somewhere in the ninja world.
This space channel wasn't created by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, but Hamura Otsutsuki.
The other party's Byakugan can also evolve, but it is not Rinnegan.
Other than making space channels, Black Zetsu also doesn't know what abilities this unknown pupil technique has.
No sooner did he have the sense that the line on the moon was going to connect with the earth once more, and there was a stunning man who could potentially employ repulsion and attraction in order to invoke meteorites, than Black Zetsu had no choice but to swear to himself.
Hagoromo and Hamura, thousands of years have elapsed, you two unfilial sons, apart from Asura and Indra's rebirths, you still retain concealed backhands.
"Sasori's human puppets are able to make the puppets retain their bloodline limits and ninjutsu while they were not alive. If that guy has Rinnegan too and wants to make the Six Paths of Pain, he needs to go on a search for people with powerful bloodline limits."
Having cursed his two brothers in his heart, Black Zetsu said to Obito Uchiha, "I will let White Zetsu's clone deal with the strong ones in the ninja world. The moment I am able to find his trace, I will let you know and Nagato immediately."
"Alright."
Obito Uchiha nodded.
They had no other choice.
After all, that mysterious man was too cautious.
That was why they had to get rid of him at the earliest chance.
Flying, repulsion and attraction, calling up meteorites, even without the power of Rinnegan, that strange individual was a considerable threat.
An existence like that, if one cannot use it for oneself, then it needs to be settled in advance, or else it could become a considerable setback in the plot.
