Ch 426: Two Offers A Man Can’t Refuse
“So, you choose to die again?”
“No, since Mr. Madara gave me a chance to live, I want to try living.”
Mizuki didn’t hesitate, raising his head to look at the person hidden behind the mask in front of him.
At this time, Obito had changed into a white three-Tomoe Rinnegan mask, much more stylish than the orange swirl mask.
“Mr. Madara, since you saved me, I must pay the price for it. I think what you need is… the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.”
Under the mask, Obito’s lips curled slightly.
“Clever fellow, but it’s not a request, but a cooperation.”
Obito’s voice was very low, completely immersing himself in Madara’s role.
“As long as you are alive, you will have pursuits, and your pursuits will inevitably be inseparable from strength. The Impure World Reincarnation Technique is a powerful Forbidden Jutsu. Its upper limit is not just Hanzo or Shinzo. I can provide you with more and stronger corpses.”
Mizuki nodded.
This was within his expectations.
“Then what is your purpose, Mr. Madara? What is your pursuit?”
For the first time, Mizuki felt a surge of excitement. He was cooperating with Uchiha Madara face-to-face!
“Hidden in the unknown places beneath the Ninja World, no one even knows you’re still alive, Mr. Madara. Your pursuit must be even more unbelievable.”
“Ninja World peace（Rin）, Hashirama and I have always pursued this, but his method is clearly wrong. He failed, and I need to use my method to implement it.”
Mizuki frowned.
The person hidden in the dark must have ulterior motives, but his motives are for such a bright outcome as Ninja World peace. This strong sense of contrast makes it difficult for Mizuki to easily believe it.
Obito naturally also knew that if he didn’t reveal some real things, he wouldn’t be able to get Mizuki to cooperate obediently.
“The Akatsuki organization you just contacted, Amegakure is in the hands of the Akatsuki organization.”
Obito stretched out a hand, then clenched his fist.
“And the Akatsuki organization is in my hands.”
Surprise!
Mizuki originally thought that the Akatsuki organization was just a mercenary-like organization that did things for money. His contact with Sasori was purely accidental. In fact, Mizuki was going to pass through Rain Country and then take refuge in the Land of Wind.
After resurrecting a samurai under Kado’s command in front of Sasori using Impure World Reincarnation, Sasori became interested in him, which led him to the Akatsuki organization.
But unfortunately, Mizuki didn’t meet the other members of the Akatsuki organization, not even the so-called Commander.
After learning that Mizuki intended to destroy Konoha, Sasori generously sponsored him with two corpse samples.
Sasori was willing to do something like disgusting Konoha casually.
Although Mizuki didn’t meet others, the mystery and power of the Akatsuki organization are undeniable. In Mizuki’s opinion, the strength shown by Sasori alone is no less than any puppet ninja he knows.
Mizuki’s intelligence is closed off, so he doesn’t know the name of Sasori of the Red Sand, but this doesn’t hinder his vision.
So, even a master like Sasori is just a member of the Akatsuki organization, and the Akatsuki organization is in the hands of Uchiha Madara… It can only be said that the style is indeed high enough, and it is very reasonable!
“I have set a great plan for the Akatsuki organization. The members of the organization are all powerful ninjas who share the same ideals, but the power needed for Ninja World peace is far more than that.”
Obito turned his palm upward and reached for the sky.
“You are an enemy of Konoha, and what we do may be to be enemies with the entire Ninja World. However, in the end, the Ninja World will eventually thank us, thank me, Uchiha Madara.”
Obito’s persuasion made Mizuki somewhat excited.
Men generally find it difficult to refuse two invitations or one of them.
One, is an invitation from a charming and interesting beauty to a dinner.
The other, is an invitation from an ambitious strongman to fight everywhere!
“In that case, please give me more guidance, Mr. Madara.”
Mizuki still got on Obito’s thief car.
“Very good, but as a unique existence, you will not join the Akatsuki organization.”
Obito told Mizuki in advance.
“The Akatsuki organization is my left arm, and you will be my right arm.”
He directly elevated Mizuki to this important position, which made Mizuki feel a sense of “a man dies for those who know him.”
People always need to be needed.
……
Konoha.
“What? You say Mr. Kozō is still alive!”
Shinzo’s expression was shocked, his （acting） skills were amazing.
“I remember that before I went to the Land of Rivers, I visited Mr. Kozō. At that time, his body seemed to be already in poor condition.”
Orochimaru nodded, feeling a little speechless in his heart.
How come this Mr. Kozō can’t die?
“Do you want to see Mr. Kozō? Oh, by the way, Fugaku is also in Konoha. Perhaps you are more interested in him?”
Orochimaru hinted.
The Uchiha clan during Fugaku’s early days in power was not like it is now.
And this change probably started after the Second Great Ninja War.
It’s hard not to suspect that Shinzo told Fugaku something or gave him some guidance.
If this point is also reasonable, then Orochimaru has no more doubts about Shinzo.
Because guiding Fugaku, not caring about the Uchiha clan’s awkward position in Konoha at that time, this kind of thing is completely consistent with Orochimaru’s personality profile of Shinzo.
“It’s okay to visit Mr. Kozō again, as for Uchiha Fugaku…”
Shinzo looked up at Sarutobi Hiruzen and glanced at Orochimaru.
“Forget it, I’m just a dead man.”
Avoiding suspicion, and avoiding suspicion for the sake of the Uchiha clan.
Orochimaru concluded.
Fugaku must have been guided by Shinzo back then.
“Okay, but about seeing Mr. Kozō, don’t say it was me who did the Impure World Reincarnation.”
Orochimaru gave a warning.
Playing with the souls of the dead might be troublesome for the old fogeys.
Especially an old fogey like Kozō whose strength is unfathomable.
Orochimaru wasn’t so much afraid that Kozō would be too dissatisfied with him because of this, he was more afraid that Kozō would ask him to resurrect the First Hokage, Second Hokage, and so on.
This technique absolutely cannot be used casually. Once it becomes the norm, it will be impossible to return to the present.
“Hehe, I understand~”
After a while, Hiruzen brought Shinzo to the Senju Clan Compound.
Orochimaru didn’t come. As the Fourth Hokage, with the Chūnin Exams just over, he still had things to do. As for Danzo, he secretly went to practice the Great Fireball Technique.
“Mr. Kozō~ Long time no see.”
Turning his insect head, looking at himself at the entrance, Kozō suppressed his smile.
Root’s method of preserving corpses is indeed good. Shinzo’s Impure World Reincarnation body is intact, even the scar on his chest has been restored.
For Shinzo to be truly resurrected using Impure World Reincarnation, Kozō had considerable considerations.
A body originally used for an early transition, now put back on the chessboard, has a new use.
