If this White Zetsu truly contains high-purity Hashirama cells, its value is simply immeasurable.
Orochimaru's breathing quickened slightly. He looked up at Black Zetsu again and said fervently, "This specially made White Zetsu... it can probably even use Wood Release, right?"
Black Zetsu chuckled and nodded, saying, "As expected of Lord Orochimaru, who has dedicated his life to pursuing the truth... I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."
Upon hearing Black Zetsu's affirmative answer, Orochimaru's fervor intensified.
He gently stuck out the tip of his tongue and excitedly licked his lips, seemingly eager to unravel all the secrets of this White Zetsu.
However, being a shrewd and calculating man, he quickly suppressed his curiosity and asked with a forced smile, "Let me guess..."
"You've gone to such great lengths, providing such a top-quality vessel, hoping to summon back... the God of Shinobi—Hashirama Senju himself, through the Impure World Reincarnation?"
Upon hearing this, Kabuto gasped in shock, staring at Black Zetsu with a look of utter astonishment. This guy wanted to revive the First Hokage?!
Even Orochimaru couldn't help but reveal an exaggerated smile, his golden snake eyes filled with both mockery and disbelief.
Black Zetsu merely let out a low, eerie laugh: "Heh... Hashirama Senju? Of course not."
He paused briefly, then uttered something astonishing.
"What I want to call back is the Asura of the Ninja World—Uchiha Madara!"
"What?!" Yakushi Kabuto exclaimed in shock.
Orochimaru's smile froze for a moment, his pupils contracting slightly in surprise.
The air in the laboratory seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Immediately afterwards, a suppressed laugh escaped Orochimaru's throat: "Heh... heh heh heh..."
"Interesting! Absolutely fascinating!"
really……
Seeing Orochimaru's reaction, Black Zetsu felt a surge of smugness.
How could an ambitious man like Orochimaru, who would stop at nothing for power and truth, possibly resist the almost insane temptation of reviving Madara Uchiha?
Perhaps no one in the world desires such forbidden things more than him.
Seeing that Orochimaru had taken the bait, Black Zetsu pressed his advantage, whispering seductively like a devil, "Since we share the same goal, what are we waiting for? Let's begin now, Orochimaru."
Upon hearing this, Kabuto felt a chill run down his spine.
He glanced warily at Black Zetsu, then turned to Orochimaru: "Lord Orochimaru..."
Dou couldn't help but whisper a reminder, full of wariness and admonition.
However, Orochimaru merely raised his hand slightly, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more. His golden vertical pupils remained fixed on Black Zetsu, but the smile on his lips slowly faded.
Orochimaru's laughter stopped abruptly.
The excitement on his face receded as quickly as the tide, replaced by his usual shrewdness and composure.
"Start? Of course."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, slowly shook his head, and revealed a cunning look.
"However... before we begin this great Impure World Reincarnation... we'll probably have to renegotiate the price."
As he spoke the last few words, Orochimaru gave a meaningful smile.
……
Time passes and night falls.
In a secluded dwelling in Konoha Village, Shigure was half-lying on the bed, looking at the semi-transparent light screen panel in front of him.
This is his daily habit.
Check the system status before entering a dream.
As he browsed the list of information on the panel, an unfamiliar name suddenly caught his eye, causing him to pause slightly.
An unexpected name appeared on the list of candidates for fulfilling their dreams: Uchiha Madara.
"Uchiha Madara?!"
Shi Yu's eyes widened in surprise, almost thinking she was seeing things.
How did this guy suddenly appear on the candidate list?
Shigure paused for two seconds, then quickly realized: "Orochimaru, Impure World Reincarnation!"
Orochimaru actually managed to resurrect Madara Uchiha using Edo Tensei so quickly!
Shi Yu couldn't help but smile with excitement.
He stared at the name Uchiha Madara on the panel and muttered, "As expected, the super-increase in dream intensity last time wasn't just about the nine tailed beasts... Now they can even pull reanimated characters into the dream? That's pretty impressive."
Shi Yu suddenly remembered something and showed a regretful expression: "Tsk, what a pity!"
He sighed with regret, "The dream-fulfilling experience ticket was just given to Itachi Uchiha yesterday, so it can't be used right now. Otherwise, I would definitely let Madara Uchiha experience what the real Infinite Tsukuyomi is all about!"
But then, Shigure smiled easily again.
It's okay if I can't be the main character; I can still enjoy being a spectator.
There are exactly 7 audience members right now.
……
So that night, Madara Uchiha's temporarily sealed consciousness came to a clearer state from the boundless chaos ahead of schedule.
When I came to my senses, I was greeted by a dimly lit, strangely structured enclosed space.
A strange and enormous theater.
There was dead silence all around.
The dimly lit theater was completely deserted, with only rows of benches stretching silently into the dark distance.
Ban found himself in the front row of the audience, surrounded by empty space.
He looked around warily and saw that the dome above the theater was hidden in darkness, and a huge curtain stood in the distance, but it was completely black and there were no images on it.
A strange sense of oppression permeated the cold air, making it almost impossible to breathe.
"here it is……?"
Madara Uchiha frowned, his sharp gaze sweeping across the theater, his heart filled with doubt and vigilance: "Where is this? What happened?"
While wondering, he subconsciously looked down and examined his own body.
In the dim light, one could only vaguely see that he was still wearing the battle robes and armor he wore in life, with his hands intact and clasped at his sides.
"The body... is intact."
Madara's mind raced, and he began to mobilize the chakra within his body.
However, in the next instant, his expression suddenly changed.
His body was completely empty; not only could he not sense the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but he couldn't even detect a trace of chakra fluctuation.
Even with his vast experience, Madara Uchiha was somewhat bewildered at this moment.
"what happened?!"
Ban's pupils contracted sharply, and an indescribable sense of dread rose in his heart.
Even though his soul had returned to its place, he couldn't feel any power at all, as if he had become an ordinary civilian.
"What?! What on earth happened?"
This sense of powerlessness made Madara Uchiha gasp for breath, and a strange anger and disbelief surged in his chest!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Madara have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Just as Madara was shocked by his own strange condition and became extremely vigilant.
An excited and respectful voice suddenly came from not far beside him: "Lord Madara?! You have actually descended to the mortal world?!"
Upon hearing the sound, Ban turned around abruptly, his sharp gaze fixed on the source of the sound.
Suddenly, a strange, dark mass appeared in the shadows beside the chair where he had just stood up.
The dark mass writhed along the ground, slowly twisting its shape like melting asphalt. On its shape, a pair of small eyes emitting a ghostly light were staring intently at him.
Upon seeing that familiar black mud-like form, Madara Uchiha was first taken aback, then murmured in a deep voice, "Black Zetsu?"
"It is I, Lord Madara."
The black substance writhed violently a few times.
"I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly."
"Oh, no, since we're already here, it means we haven't been awakened by that guy yet..."
Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha, his expression still grave, asked, "Black Zetsu, what's going on? Where is this place? Why can't I sense any chakra?"
He posed three questions in a row, his tone cold and sharp, clearly indicating his extreme dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Before he finished speaking, Madara had already raised one hand and reached out towards Black Zetsu.
The dark mass seemed to receive some silent command, and instantly slid swiftly along the shadow between the seats, like a nimble black snake crawling up Ban's arm, before disappearing into his sleeve in the blink of an eye.
In the silence, Madara Uchiha felt a slight chill on his arm. With a thought, a thought rich in information surged into Madara's mind through the mental connection.
A jumble of messages flashed rapidly through Madara Uchiha's mind like a revolving lantern.
The Infinite Tsukuyomi plan has been thwarted?!
A dream world that is extremely similar to Infinite Tsukuyomi has appeared?
Obito is so engrossed in his dreams that he's neglecting his duties?!
Madara was instantly enraged!
Unexpectedly, his agent, on whom he had placed high hopes, abandoned the plan and became addicted to it after coming into contact with that mysterious dream, completely failing to act according to the original plan!
Black Zetsu had no choice but to have someone resurrect him using Edo Tensei?!
Finally, Black Zetsu informed everyone about his resurrection.
Since Obito was unreliable, Black Zetsu had to seek outside help in order to salvage the situation. He approached Orochimaru and used the Impure World Reincarnation technique to recall his soul back to the human world ahead of schedule!
Each piece of information was earth-shattering, and even Madara Uchiha, with his composure, couldn't help but change color at this moment.
