This fellow, Tobirama Senju, really couldn't be judged by common sense… His level of cunning, scheming, and shamelessness was far beyond what a "white lotus" like Itachi Uchiha could ever hope to match!
The great Second Hokage stepped closer, one by one, to the Hokage candidate he had trained. He cleared his throat and his words landed one by one on Itachi Uchiha's heart. "Even if you don't say it, I can deduce the operating principle of that jutsu…"
"When the nature transformation of Yin Release chakra reaches its peak, it can create something from nothing, and it can also turn reality into illusion. But this requires a medium…"
"And the Uchiha clan's Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan, which is born from the ultimate extension of their Yin Release chakra, happens to be such a medium."
"For example, the ultimate ocular jutsu of your Mangekyo Sharingan, the Susanoo, turns illusion into reality, and its defensive power can even withstand the fists of our Senju clan…"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
Although nothing you said was wrong, the part about the Susanoo withstanding fists is just too much! And you even had to add the word 'even'! Does everyone in your Senju clan just smash Susanoo with one punch…
The young Jonin glanced at the First Hokage, who was sitting by the table forcefully pretending to be invisible. Can't you put your little brother away and stop letting him out to scare people!
Of all the people in the ninja world who can stay with Tobirama, do they even have any secrets left to speak of?
Or rather, is it that only a simple-minded person like the First Hokage can stay with Tobirama?
"You don't need to look at my big brother…"
The great strategist Tobirama's face gradually grew solemn as he continued, "It seems Madara Uchiha used that ocular jutsu to escape from the Battle of the Valley of the End. That jutsu either consumes an extreme amount of chakra, or it costs something else, otherwise he would not have chosen to flee…"
Itachi Uchiha: "…"
Their clan's treasured forbidden jutsu, and the most perfect ocular jutsu of the Sharingan, Izanagi, seems to have been completely reverse-engineered!
When you trace it back, this is all Madara's fault. If he hadn't popped up, this wouldn't have happened…
"After escaping from the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha experienced something, and his eyes evolved into the Rinnegan. This is very incredible…"
Tobirama looked at Itachi's eyes and said softly, "Nothing in the world happens without a reason. The Rinnegan was the eye of the Sage of Six Paths back then, ranking at the top of the Three Great Dōjutsu. It's not something just anyone can obtain."
"In that case, the eyes of that Pain in the Akatsuki—perhaps one pair of them belongs to Madara! It's even more likely that there is only one pair of Rinnegan! Because to this day, no one knows the true power of the Rinnegan, we can only roughly speculate…"
"Perhaps I know some intelligence…"
Hashirama Senju suddenly spoke up, interrupting his brother. He said in a deep voice, "I once read that stone tablet at the Naka Shrine with Madara…"
"Wait, Lord First Hokage…" Itachi raised his own doubts. "I remember that stone tablet can only be read by the head of our Uchiha clan, and you must have awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan to see some of its contents…"
Yes, he had also read that stone tablet.
However, it was useless. Kitahara had also mentioned that that stone tablet was actually a fake meant to string the Uchiha clan along, which had made Fugaku Uchiha unhappy for many days…
Hashirama scratched the back of his head and smiled. "Perhaps it was because Madara and I had a relatively good relationship! There was a sentence on the stone tablet: When two opposing forces work together, one can obtain all things in nature…"
"…I did not see that sentence."
Itachi's face was one of complete embarrassment. Not only had he not seen it, but as the clan head, Fugaku Uchiha hadn't seen it either…
"Perhaps it's because your ocular power isn't strong enough! Madara's Mangekyo Sharingan was not that simple! He inherited Izuna's ocular power, making it almost inexhaustible…"
Hashirama Senju smiled sheepishly and continued, "At that time, Madara believed that that sentence contained another kind of power, but I thought it was just a proverb. Now it's proven that he was right. Perhaps Madara figured out how to obtain the Rinnegan from there…"
"Perhaps, I understand now."
Tobirama Senju glanced at his elder brother. Theoretically, he was the first person to experiment with the First's cells. After taking a deep breath, Tobirama continued:
"That guy named Obito Uchiha would only join the Akatsuki and call himself Madara because he also knew about the Rinnegan… In that case, what is Madara Uchiha's true purpose?"
As Tobirama spoke, he turned his gaze to the crow. He said in a low voice, "As our nominal leader, you should have something to say, right?"
Kitahara opened its beak. "…Caw…"
The bean in the crow's mouth almost fell out in fright!
This guy Tobirama is a devil! Madara just came out and showed his face once, and you've already practically dug up his entire past and future!
"It seems you know Madara's secret…"
Tobirama's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked at Kitahara's eyes, which were identical to his own, with a look of having seen through everything. "That's right. After all, you are the fourth Great Sage of the ninja world, claiming to know all the secrets of the ninja world…"
Kitahara glanced at him and put on a profound expression. What it knew would definitely scare Tobirama, too. "…Caw…"
The Ten-Tails!
By having the Akatsuki gather the Tailed Beasts, they will revive the Gedo Statue, transform it back into the Ten-Tails God Tree, absorb the Ten-Tails into their body to become the jinchuriki, and then use the Rinnegan to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping the entire world in a genjutsu!
Since Madara has appeared, it means the Akatsuki will definitely speed up their plan to collect the Tailed Beasts. While we've been here, the Akatsuki has probably already started collecting them!
Based on the power of the Gedo Statue, even with only a portion of the Tailed Beasts' chakra, it's not something others can contend with!
The reason it brought Itachi Uchiha here was precisely to get the two Senju brothers to find a way to snatch the Tailed Beasts or further annihilate the Akatsuki!
"Gather the nine Tailed Beasts into one, summon the Ten-Tails to release the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and plunge all life in the world into a genjutsu. It feels a little incredible. No wonder Madara Uchiha didn't choose to attack Konoha again after my big brother passed away…"
Tobirama Senju was amazed by Madara's plan. A moment later, he proposed his own idea. "Perhaps we can easily take care of all these people… Next, we just need to set up ambushes around the jinchuriki, and that will be enough!"
"Not easy…"
Itachi Uchiha shook his head. "This matter is rather troublesome. Konoha only has the Nine-Tails jinchuriki, and the Nine-Tails is clearly the Tailed Beast the enemy needs to collect last, right?"
Hashirama Senju was a little embarrassed. "…"
Back then, he had left the Nine-Tails in Konoha mainly because the Nine-Tails was just too strong, far stronger than the other Tailed Beasts, and had to be sealed.
But as it turned out, all these years, the Nine-Tails hadn't been of much use in Konoha's many wars. On the contrary, it had killed one of the village's Hokage…
This was pretty much the definition of team-killing!
Itachi Uchiha spread his hands helplessly and continued, "And Konoha's ally, the Hidden Sand Village, has been acting suspiciously recently, and has even begun to refuse envoys sent by Konoha…"
"Hmph!" Tobirama's impression of the Sand Village had never been good. "Those greedy little people only have the One-Tail. I'll find a way to send people to investigate the One-Tail jinchuriki!"
As for where the One-Tail jinchuriki should stay after being found…
The young Jonin nodded and continued, "Then there's the Hidden Cloud, which has the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails, which we cannot interfere with. The Hidden Mist's Three-Tails jinchuriki was the Fourth Mizukage, who was taken care of by us a few years ago. We don't know where the Three-Tails has been reborn…"
Tobirama Senju waved his hand dismissively. "Then just have Kisame Hoshigaki and Mei Terumi send people to find the Three-Tails and monitor the Six-Tails! The Hidden Mist Village is our organization's home ground…"
The Lord Strategist was really not polite at all when he spoke…
Theoretically, he wasn't wrong. The Hidden Mist Village was indeed their home ground, a place where they had even more say than in Konoha.
