Ever since the first plan failed, Black Zetsu no longer paid any attention to Itachi, as he was afraid of getting himself implicated.
In the ninja world, Black Zetsu is not afraid of anything else. No matter how strong Uchiha Madara is, or how powerful he is and how he thinks he is the savior, he is actually just a person living in a beautiful dream he has created. There is nothing to be afraid of.
Only Fujiwara Nagase made Black Zetsu feel extremely oppressed.
He rose silently, and once he made a move he was already a strong man who could suppress the tailed beasts single-handedly. It would be difficult to deal with him by conspiracy.
Then it was extremely mysterious. Black Zetsu still didn't understand why Fujiwara Nagase appeared in the Land of Water that day and directly captured Obito.
Logically speaking, the Water Kingdom at that time was not worthy of Nagase personally accompanying the delegation, as it was not their intention to conquer and occupy the Water Kingdom.
So Black Zetsu decisively adopted the backup plan and no longer obsessed with Uchiha Itachi.
Black Zetsu's idea is this: White Zetsu cultivated with Hashirama's cells can be absorbed by the Demon Geranium Technique.
So if he uses Madara's cells to re-cultivate a new type of White Zetsu, can he achieve a similar effect
He has more than one alternative plan, there is also the Biological Uchiha Plan.
Unlike the first one, the second one requires Hiruko's biotechnology to create an Uchiha and then have Nagato absorb it.
In addition to this, Black Zetsu has other ideas, such as extracting it from corpses. If one corpse is not enough, then dig a few more.
Black Zetsu really took great pains to help Nagato become stronger. He felt that he should be the person who cared the most about Nagato's strength. Perhaps Nagato himself was not as worried as he was.
Looking at the new model White Zetsu in front of him, Black Zetsu's eyes flickered.
"If this works, then that would leave only the Hyuuga, and maybe the Kaguya clan as well."
Black Zetsu has tried his best to improve Nagato's strength. If Nagato is still not strong enough, don't blame Black Zetsu for forcing a replacement.
The cautious habits developed over thousands of years have made Black Zetsu always prepared, and he has many contingency plans.
If Nagato is still unable to defeat Nagazawa after the strengthening, then Black Zetsu will forcibly possess Nagato and use the Rinnegan to revive Madara.
Although Black Zetsu did not think highly of Madara, he had to admit that Madara was the best and most capable tool he had ever seen, and the most suitable candidate to resurrect his mother Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Compared with Madara, Nagato and Obito are much inferior. Whether in terms of strength or planning, Madara is more decisive and ruthless than them.
If Madara also fails, then Black Zetsu will have to wait for Nagase to die before causing trouble again, just like he did a thousand years ago.
Anyway, human lifespan is no more than a hundred years. After hiding for a few decades, he can come out and carry out his plan to resurrect Kaguya again.
Black Zetsu took the transformed White Zetsu to find Nagato.
When Black Zetsu found Nagato, Nagato was training.
He was unable to practice because he was disabled before, because the chakra was already a bit of a stretch to maintain the operation of Pain's Six Paths. Fighting was chronic suicide, let alone actively practicing.
The last time he used the Demon Gera Technique to absorb White Zetsu, not only did his legs recover, but his chakra also increased greatly, so Nagato will now practice normally.
He did not place all his hopes on the Guiya Luo Jue and Jue, so he had to use normal training to strengthen himself.
Although Nagato did not touch Jue, he still assigned him various tasks as before, as if there was no difference from before.
But the last battle with the masked man made him realize that this was definitely not just someone sent to monitor him.
The reason why Zetsu was not killed was because he was too useful. Zetsu was the strongest intelligence officer in the ninja world. He alone was stronger than a specialized intelligence organization.
"Hehe, Madara has prepared the materials for your Demon Germination Technique, and your strength can be increased again." Black Zetsu said with a smile.
Nagato remained calm on the surface and hummed lightly, but he was actually alert in his heart.
You are still preparing for "Ban", but your "Ban" has already betrayed you.
"Why is it White Zetsu again?" Nagato said with a frown after looking at Zetsu's so-called materials.
"Although they are both White Zetsu, the cells in their bodies are different. Before it was Senju's, and now it's Uchiha's." Black Zetsu explained.
Nagato checked quickly and found nothing.
"I understand." Nagato put away the materials given by Black Zetsu, and said indifferently.
He really didn't trust Jue now, so it was impossible for him to absorb it directly after a brief inspection. He had to go back and investigate it carefully.
Black Zetsu felt somewhat disappointed when he saw that Nagato did not fuse immediately. There was a difference between this time and the last time. Madara's cells were not as vital as Hashirama's cells, and he didn't know whether it would succeed. If it failed, he could quickly carry out other backup plans.
But for the sake of disguise, he didn't say anything, because in the Akatsuki organization, his character was a minion sent by Uchiha Madara to monitor Nagato and others, and also a part-time intelligence officer.
"Go investigate the intelligence of the Frost Country. We can start taking action there now." Nagato ordered.
Zetsu nodded, then dived into the ground and disappeared from Nagato's sight.
"What exactly is your purpose?" Nagato looked at the place where Jue disappeared and fell into thought.
He didn't know what Jue was trying to achieve.
If it was his previous understanding that Jue was sent by the masked man to monitor him, then it would be fine, but this has been overturned, so Jue's current behavior is very strange.
It's obvious that the masked man has already betrayed, and even tried to convince Nagato to quit last time.
However, Jue has been working hard to create the illusion that the masked man still exists. If Nagato had not fought with the masked man that day, he might have really been taken away by Hu, because the masked man rarely shows up, so it is not easy for Jue to be exposed by doing this.
For example, Hiruzen didn't know that Obito had already betrayed Akatsuki, and in fact, it was Black Zetsu who had been trading with him.
Nagato thought about it carefully but couldn't come up with anything, so he had to give up for the time being.
No matter what, at this stage, Jue has not shown any hostility towards him. Instead, he is an indispensable and excellent intelligence tool for the Akatsuki organization.
Although strong thugs are hard to find, there are still many of them. However, there are probably no other intelligence officers of this level.
Nagato brought the materials given by Jue to a secret room he built specifically for himself, trying to find something from it.
…
In the morning, at the Hyuga family’s training ground.
The training ground was extremely quiet, with only the sound of fist practice and no noise of whispering.
Neji and Hinata rarely communicate with each other. Hinata will only take the initiative to ask when she has doubts, and then Neji will answer.
At this time, Hinata had not gone out for half a month. Except for eating, sleeping, and the classes specially provided by the family for the main family members, she basically spent the rest of her time practicing.
Hinata's seriousness made Neji a little confused. What on earth could make a person suddenly become so serious
Just can't go out for a month
Ningji felt that there was a deeper reason. Hinata had never gone out for a month before, and she didn't seem to work that hard.
Neji thought of the group of people he met when he went to deliver a message.
"Is it because he wants to see those friends that he works so hard?" Neji wondered.
Neji is a man who doesn't like to talk much, and you can say he is a rather cold person.
But even though he is like this, he does have friends. Unlike Hinata, he doesn't even have anyone to talk to.
Of course, he doesn't have many friends, only two, both of whom are kids from the neighborhood and are of the same age.
However, Neji was still surprised that Hinata could get such great motivation from her friends.
The reason why he was so diligent was, firstly, due to his own character, and secondly, he wanted to change the situation of the branch family and the main family. They were all from the same clan, so why should the branch family be portrayed as a bird in a cage
Even a four-year-old child knows the horror of having life and death controlled by others, even if the controller is a member of the tribe or the clan leader.
After the training, Hinata approached Neji again with a blushing face.
"Um, Brother Neji, could you please go find Naruto again?" Hinata said with her head down and blushing, feeling very embarrassed.
Hinata had already troubled Neji once before, and now she had to trouble him again. She felt ashamed.
Neji calmly replied, "No problem, I'll be there after lunch, what's the message this time."
Hinata waved her hand and said, "I'm not delivering a message this time. I just need to deliver a letter to Naruto-kun."
"Naruto-kun is very interested in the Shodaime and Uchiha Madara. He asked me to tell him if there was any relevant information or stories about them. Then I found some stories about them in the records of the clan..." Hinata explained.
Although she really wanted to tell Naruto herself, she knew she couldn't do it. She might not even have the courage to tell Naruto after they met, so she could only find Neji.
"Thank you so much, Brother Neji." Hinata bowed to Neji and said
At this time, Hinata's face was as red as an apple. Neji didn't know if it was an illusion, but he even saw a few wisps of white smoke floating up.
Hinata was really ashamed now, shy and embarrassed, and she didn't even have the courage to do such a thing.
"Delivering a letter, right? I understand. No problem." Neji nodded.
Delivering a letter is even easier than bringing a message. If you want to deliver a letter, even if Naruto is not at home, just leave the letter at his house. It doesn't matter if Naruto's mother forgets about it, the letter will be there anyway.
Hinata hurriedly thanked Neci, and then handed a slightly bulging envelope to Neci.
"Thank you so much for your help." Hinata said again.
Neji nodded slightly and went home.
"Ningji, did you encounter anything you didn't understand during training today?" At the dinner table, Hinata Hizashi asked with a smile.
"No, what I'm learning now is very simple." Neji replied.
Hearing that what Neji was teaching was very simple, Hyuga Hizashi laughed and said, "Ningji, you have better talent than me. You are even more talented than my brother at the same age. You may become the most powerful ninja of the Hyuga clan in the future."
Hinata Hizashi was of course very happy that his son was very talented.
Although Hyuga Hiashi is Hyuga Hizashi's older brother, they are actually the same age because they are twins.
Hyuga Hiashi was born just fifteen minutes later than Hyuga Hiashi.
But it was these insignificant fifteen minutes that determined that Hyuga Hiashi would be the main family and the future head of the family, while Hyuga Hizashi could only become a branch family.
After Hinata Hizashi found out how the branch family and the main family were treated, he felt extremely negative for a while.
Why, why wasn't he the one born fifteen minutes earlier
Even now, Hyuga Hizashi cannot completely let it go.
Because the treatment of the branch family is so different from that of the main family, if you become a branch family, even your life will be controlled by others.
For this reason, Hyuga Hizashi once had an idea about the young Hinata. If Hinata died, would his child have a chance to become the head of the family
Although it was only a thought that disappeared in an instant, Hinata Hiashi still sensed the slight murderous intent and activated the Caged Bird on the spot, causing Hinata Hizashi to struggle on the ground in agony.
At that time, Ningji was also present. He stared blankly at his father, whom he admired, wailing and struggling on the ground. He was greatly shocked. At that time, Ningji had not yet been branded as a caged bird.
After all, Hyuga Hiashi is Hyuga Hiashi's younger brother and also a Konoha Jonin, so Hyuga Hiashi only made him suffer for a while instead of killing him.
"Can the strongest ninja in Hyuga escape from the caged bird?" Neji asked.
The torture of his father by a caged bird had had such a huge impact on Neji that the caged bird became an obsession in Neji's heart.
He didn't want his father to struggle and wail on the ground like he did last time, nor did he want himself to become like that in the future.
Hinata Hizashi's smile froze. He didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became silent.
"Ningji, I'm sorry, it's my fault." Finally, Hyuga Hizashi sighed and said.
He felt that he was sorry for Neji. If he had been born earlier than Hyuga Hiashi, then Neji would be the head of the family and would not be labeled as an ugly caged bird.
"Dad, why are you apologizing? What did you do wrong?" Neji asked in confusion.
Hinata Hiashi said nothing and patted Neji's head.
After dinner, Neji took the letter Hinata gave him and went to Naruto's house.
Practice makes perfect. This time, Neji was faster than before.
He knocked on Naruto's door.
Soon someone opened the door, but it was not Naruto's mother, but a blond man, who should be Naruto's father, Neji thought.
"Minato, who is that?" A male voice came from the room.
Minato smiled gently at Neji, then turned and said, "It's a child from the Hyuga family. He should be here to look for Naruto."
Then Minato asked, "Little boy, are you looking for Naruto? He is at home now."
Neji nodded.
Minato immediately brought Neji into the house.
After entering the house, Neji quickly found Naruto, who was sitting next to an adult man he didn't know, with an excited look on his face and no idea what to say.
At this time, Nagase, who was listening to Naruto talking about his training results, also turned his eyes to the door and happened to see Neji and Minato walking in.
