Black Zetsu felt a pang of pain when he heard that Uchiha Madara also wanted to hear information about Hattori Masanari.
During this period of time, it had actually been actively collecting information about Hattori Masanari.
However, since this Ame-Nin returned to Amegakure, he had still made very few appearances, and it seemed that he had also exchanged a lot of seal techniques with Konoha, placing sealing barriers in some important places within Amegakure, making it impossible for White Zetsu to obtain information easily.
As a result, the amount of information it has collected on Hattori Masanari is pitifully small, and most of the information it has collected is about some of the more obvious things he has done in Amegakure.
"Anyway, I have tried my best to collect information. This Hattori Masanari is so good at hiding, it is understandable that I cannot collect any useful information from the White Zetsus,"
Black Zetsu comforted himself.
After a moment of silence, it spoke of what it knew about Hattori Masanari:
"Lord Madara, ever since Hattori Masanari returned to Amegakure, he has been carrying out reforms of the village with great intensity. As soon as he returned, he personally uncovered a large number of spies and traitors within the village, and used Hanzo to get rid of them all, quickly establishing himself in Amegakure.
Next, with the support of Hanzo, he became the head of the intelligence department of Amegakure and established an organization called the "Abyss", which had great independence. Just like the Root of Konoha, it could raise funds and recruit personnel on its own, and it also had its own independent stronghold.
" "The 'Abyss' Organization, is the interesting organization you just mentioned it?"
Uchiha Madara suddenly interrupted.
"No, Lord Madara, the organization I discovered is not comparable to the Abyss Organization, which was just established. It is a mysterious organization that has already grown quite large, and it is also a very organized and disciplined organization. It is said that the leader is also a Kage-Level powerhouse, and he was the one who killed the Immortal Kakuzu. This organization is called Night."
Black Zetsu denied.
"The organization is called Night? It sounds like a good organization. Continue to tell me about Hattori Masanari."
Uchiha Madara's eyes lit up at the mention of the Night organization, and he became interested. However, he still asked Black Zetsu to continue with the information about Hattori Masanari.
He always liked to see things through to the end. If he heard half of something and didn't hear the other half, it would be uncomfortable in his heart.
"Yes, Lord Madara, after Hattori Masanari founded the Abyss Organization, he only absorbed a small number of the original Ame-Nin intelligence personnel. Most of the personnel were newly recruited from Amegakure and outside, and a large part of them were children under the age of 12 with high potential.
Therefore, the Abyss Organization is still very weak at the moment, but its internal purity is very high. Moreover, according to White Zetsu's observations over this period of time, this Abyss Organization has great development potential, which is mainly related to Hattori Masanari's strong ability to collect funds.
He is currently using a large amount of funds to establish a training institution similar to a ninja school in the Abyss Organization's strongholds, and it is developing quite rapidly.
Furthermore, this organization places a lot of emphasis on brainwashing education. This is the textbook for the Abyss Organization's ideological education class. I heard that Hattori Masanari personally wrote it. Please take a look,"
Black Zetsu continued.
As he said this, he took a book out of his body and handed it to Uchiha Madara.
The name of this book is "The Will of Rain".
"The Will of Rain seems to be something similar to the Will of Fire created by that idiot Hashirama. Both are tools used to manipulate people's hearts."
Uchiha Madara took the book and looked at the cover, dismissing it.
He said he didn't care, but he still opened the book and read it.
Since this book was written by Hattori Masanari, it must have his thoughts incorporated into it, and he can just use it to see what kind of person this person really is and what his world view is like.
"Self-improvement? He's really a dangerous guy..."
Uchiha Madara looked at the book in his hands, and the more he read, the more serious his expression became. He muttered to himself, his eyes showing excitement.
The content of "The Will of Rain" was completely different from the Will of Fire he had imagined. Although it also emphasized the importance of mutual trust and friendship among companions, as well as loyalty to the country and the village, it placed more emphasis on the importance of strength.
Because the entire book kept talking about the crisis facing the Land of Rain, the various hardships suffered by the people of the Land of Rain during the war, and why the Land of Rain had become what it was now, every Ame-Nin who read this book deeply understood how bad the situation of their home country was at the moment.
The book also gives a solution, which is to strive for self-improvement.
The book particularly emphasizes that if Ame-Nin wants to protect the people of the Land of Rain, Amegakure, their loved ones and companions from the ravages of war and other great powers, then they must constantly strive to improve their strength.
This shows that the person who wrote this book does not have the slightest naive idea in their heart. They do not naively hope to achieve peace through mutual understanding, nor do they expect others to sympathize with them and help them. Instead, they rely on their own formidable strength to deter others from taking any rash actions.
In Uchiha Madara's opinion, the so-called Will of Rain is the spirit of self-improvement.
"Yes, this person's thinking is very dangerous. If the people of Amegakure accept this kind of thinking, many powerful and dangerous ninjas will be born in the future. However, this is what we hope to see. The three major ninja villages around us will definitely not sit idly by and accept the rise of Amegakure, which embraces this kind of thinking. It is inevitable that war will resume in the Land of Rain."
Black Zetsu agreed with Uchiha Madara's assessment of Hattori Masanari and revealed an insidious smile on his face.
It was not at all interested in Hattori Masanari's book "The Will of Rain", but it was very interested in the fact that Hattori Masanari wanted to use it to change the face of Amegakure and the Land of Rain.
How could the intelligence chief of the White Zetsu not be aware of the situation in the Land of Rain? It was a buffer zone between major powers, and it was not easy to rise. The process would inevitably involve countless battles of blood and iron.
In that case, the war in the ninja world would never end.
He can then use all kinds of information to secretly manipulate the war, and then continuously weaken the power of the major ninja villages, creating favorable conditions for the successful implementation of the Moon Eye plan.
After all, the power of the major ninja villages is still a bit too strong. Uchiha Madara alone does not have the strength to capture the nine tailed beasts and make enemies with the five major ninja villages.
And it seems that the Land of Rain, which is currently booming, is a very good bait for war, causing the conflicts between the major ninja villages to continue to increase.
If the Land of Rain can develop smoothly, the situation will be even better.
Because the Land of Rain will definitely be suppressed by the joint efforts of the three surrounding powers. In order to resolve this situation, the Land of Rain will definitely have to erupt in conflict with the surrounding three major countries, which in turn will further weaken the power of the major ninja villages.
"Unfortunately, it is not easy to control someone like this and make him completely obey our orders. This person is completely different from Jiraiya. He has already experienced the cruel lessons of reality and has already born his own firm will."
Uchiha Madara closed the book with some regret.
"As long as Lord Madara is willing to help, controlling this person should not be difficult, hehehe~"
Black Zetsu laughed.
"Hmph, if I have to control him with illusion techniques, then it's not going to be any fun at all. The only way is to make him agree with my will and execute my plan willingly. That's what I want. But even if he doesn't listen to me, it doesn't matter. Under the influence of his ideology, Amegakure will definitely produce a large number of aggressive hawk ninja in the long run. Even if he doesn't want to provoke other major countries in the future, as long as we secretly create conflicts between the Land of Rain and other major countries, Amegakure will definitely erupt into war with other ninja villages."
Uchiha Madara said coldly.
He, Uchiha Madara, did not need puppets controlled by illusion techniques; he would conquer others with strength.
Black Zetsu remained silent, not expressing any opinions, but inwardly he felt disdain for Uchiha Madara's foolish arrogance.
There was clearly a better way to manipulate the Land of Rain, but he was being foolish by not taking advantage of it.
He believed that if Uchiha Madara was willing to do it, he could definitely control Hattori Masanari with illusion techniques and then make Hattori Masanari their puppet, thereby successfully manipulating Amegakure.
However, it is definitely not the right time for Uchiha Madara to use illusion techniques to control Hattori Masanari.
Hattori Masanari is a very capable person, especially when it comes to making money, and he is very good at it. Thanks to his connections, the relationship between Iwagakure and Amegakure has eased, and trade between the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain has resumed, allowing many factories in the Land of Rain to restart operations.
As far as he knows, many of these restarted factories have been secretly controlled by some businessmen under Hattori Masanari, who have purchased them at low prices in advance, making all of these factories his money bags.
Not only that, but many industries in the Land of Rain, which are in need of reconstruction, have also been controlled in the same way by Hattori Masanari.
It is no surprise that the previous situation in Amegakure, where the village relied heavily on the daimyo of the Land of Rain for funding, will no longer exist.
With sufficient financial support, it is an inevitable result that Amegakure will grow and develop.
"Tell me about my eyes."
After learning about Hattori Masanari, Uchiha Madara began to care about his Rinnegan.
From the current situation, this Hattori Masanari is undoubtedly an ambitious person. As long as he discovers the Rinnegan, sooner or later he will be interested in his eyes.
Although he doesn't mind if his eyes find a new host, if this host is a disobedient person, it would be best to get rid of him as soon as possible.
After learning about Hattori Masanari's Will of Rain, he no longer harbored any hope of recruiting Hattori Masanari and making him a puppet to carry out the Moon Eye plan in the future. A guy with such a firm will and belief would not be successfully bewitched by his words.
This person must be given a huge psychological setback, such as the loss of someone important.
However, Black Zetsu has not mentioned anyone important around Hattori Masanari after talking for so long. It can be seen that he is a person with few attachments. Perhaps the only attachment in his entire life is the Amegakure village he has always yearned for.
"If Amegakure is destroyed, maybe I can make him work for me."
Uchiha Madara suddenly had a dangerous thought in his mind, and a dazzling red light flashed in his eyes.
Black Zetsu saw this and knew that Uchiha Madara must have thought of something interesting and was excited.
It didn't matter to him, and he replied, "Nagato is in good shape. Under Jiraiya's tutelage, Nagato's strength has been growing steadily. He has now successfully mastered the five basic chakra natures, and is gradually accepting Jiraiya's naive way of thinking. His bond with the other two people is also getting deeper and deeper."
"Really? It seems that my eye host has grown quite a bit recently. That naive guy Jiraiya really helped a lot,"
Uchiha Madara heard this and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He was very satisfied with Nagato's current growth.
Naive thinking is good.
Having friends and forming close bonds is good.
All of it is very good.
A few seconds later, he continued, "So tell me about that interesting person you were talking about earlier."
"It's like this. Right now, there's a very powerful Lightning Release ninja in the Shinobi World. If there are no accidents, this person is from Kumogakure Village, and in all likelihood, he's still a rogue ninja who's hiding his identity. This person has been operating on the border of the Land of Earth recently, causing heavy losses to the border garrison troops of Iwagakure.
Because of this, the relationship between Iwagakure and Kumogakure is rapidly deteriorating. Although the conflict has not yet reached a level where a war between the two sides is about to break out, it is estimated that it should be soon."
Black Zetsu replied immediately.
The mysterious Lightning Release ninja provoking conflict between the two major ninja villages has been the hottest news in recent times.
Naturally, Black Zetsu was concerned and sent many White Zetsu to secretly search for and investigate this mysterious Lightning Release ninja, only to discover that this was a lone ninja with no connection to Kumogakure, and that his actions against Iwagakure's border troops were purely personal.
"A very powerful Lightning Release ninja, just how powerful?"
Uchiha Madara asked.
"Facing hundreds of Iwa-nin by himself, including five jōnin, and the rest being chūnin who were good at Earth Release in groups, the mysterious Lightning Release Ninja single-handedly killed all five jōnin and injured most of the chūnin, and then easily escaped from the pursuit of hundreds of Iwagakure ninja."
Black Zetsu recounted the most glorious battle record of the mysterious Lightning Release Ninja.
"It seems that he is somewhat capable. What kind of Lightning Release jutsu is this person good at?"
Uchiha Madara's eyebrows rose slightly as he sneered.
"It's a Lightning Release secret technique that accelerates, and it should be called the Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique. It's considered a rather high-level Lightning Release secret technique in Kumogakure."
Black Zetsu replied.
"Just that?"
Uchiha Madara said doubtfully.
"Yes, from beginning to end, this guy used this Lightning Release technique to fight. However, this guy's physical strength is extremely high, his chakra volume is also very large, and coupled with his deep understanding of Lightning Release, he can maintain this Lightning Release technique for a long time and move very fast. Most of the Iwagakure ninja were unable to even release their jutsu before they were killed by him with his ninja blade. I guess this guy is someone with the bloodline of the Yotsuki clan."
Black Zetsu added.
"Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique? This Lightning Release Secret Technique is actually a low-end version of the Kumogakure S-class Lightning Release forbidden technique, Lightning Release Chakra Mode. The side effects are extremely severe. An ordinary ninja cannot even use it for a short period of a few seconds without suffering permanent damage from the erosive effects of Lightning Release Chakra. You say that this person can maintain this Lightning Release Secret Technique for a long time, so it is certain that he has the bloodline of the Yotsuki clan, and he may even be a guy with excellent bloodline."
Uchiha Madara is well-informed and an old-timer in the ninja world, knowing many secrets of the Yotsuki clan. He nodded and approved of Black Zetsu's guess.
"Lord Madara, this person is likely to have a deep grudge against Iwagakure and has already broken with Kumogakure, becoming a rogue ninja. Look, such a useful pawn, shouldn't we send someone over to make contact with him? Right now, people from both Iwagakure and Kumogakure are looking for him. With the strength of the ANBU forces of these two major ninja villages, they should be able to find this guy soon. If we don't contact him as soon as possible, he might die one day at the hands of the ANBU of these two major ninja villages."
Black Zetsu asked tentatively.
This kind of powerful rogue ninja who causes trouble in the ninja world is what he likes to see the most. These people will definitely be a major help in the future implementation of the Moon Eye plan. It would be a real shame if they died so soon.
"Don't worry about him. If he can last for a year while being chased by the ANBU of the two major ninja villages, then he will be of some use. Now let's talk about that mysterious organization called the Night Organization."
Uchiha Madara did not hesitate to reject Black Zetsu's offer to recruit this mysterious Lightning Release ninja.
From Black Zetsu's description, this mysterious Lightning Release ninja was quite strong, but not strong enough to make him interested. He needed this mysterious Lightning Release ninja's hatred for Iwagakure and Kumogakure to continue to accumulate.
One year was precisely the test he gave this mysterious Lightning Release ninja.
Being hunted by the two major ninja villages for a year, this person must hate the two major ninja villages to death. If he can still survive, his strength will definitely increase greatly.
By then, it would be too late to ask Black Zetsu to recruit him. This kind of mentally and physically exhausted rogue ninja would definitely need a safe place to settle down, and he, Uchiha Madara, had the ability to give the other person this condition.
As for whether this ninja would be convinced and obedient?
Uchiha Madara hadn't thought about that, because he had absolute confidence in his ability to convince this homeless rogue ninja with force.
"I understand, Lord Madara. I will obey your command."
Black Zetsu immediately understood what Uchiha Madara meant and sneered.
Then, it began to introduce the Night Organization to Uchiha Madara:
"According to the information collected by the White Zetsus, this Night Organization is actually the armed organization of the Higanbana Pharmaceutical Company. However, the relationship between the two is not one of superior and subordinate, but of cooperation. The Night Organization provides the Higanbana Pharmaceutical Company with armed support, while the Higanbana Pharmaceutical Company provides the Night Organization with financial support.
The leader of the Night Organization seems to have a deep grudge with the Konoha Root and has been looking for trouble with the Konoha Root. After Danzo fell from power, the Konoha Root's intelligence network outside was almost completely destroyed by this organization, and many Konoha Root ninjas were killed. Even though Danzo can now send his shadow clones to operate outside and oversee the Root's work, he is still at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Night Organization.
Recently, Higanbana Pharmaceutical Company has established a production branch in the Land of Rain, and the Night Organization has also begun to develop in the Land of Rain at a very rapid pace. It has secretly absorbed a large number of war orphans and continues to systematically train them.
To date, many trained war orphans have been secretly dispatched to the branches of the Higanbana Pharmaceutical Company in various major countries, as well as to companies and shops secretly controlled by the Higanbana Pharmaceutical Company.
Today, the company has set up branches in the ninja villages of all major countries. It has a very strong financial foundation and is already a very famous multinational company in the ninja world."
"Interesting, a mysterious organization has laid its own intelligence network through a multinational company that has set up stores all over the ninja world, and it also has a fairly powerful armed force within. What could its purpose be? I really want to know. Black Zetsu, regarding the leader of this Night Organization, you must find him as soon as possible."
Uchiha Madara listened with interest as Black Zetsu gave his introduction to the Night Organization.
From the information Black Zetsu had just given about the Night Organization, this mysterious organization was definitely planning something shocking.
But no matter what, this mysterious organization was of use and was a very good pawn. If he could control the leader of this mysterious organization in the future and use that to control the organization, it would definitely be of great help to his Moon Eye plan.
"As you command."
Black Zetsu immediately smiled as he received the answer he wanted from Uchiha Madara.
Using the Night Organization to help with the Moon's Eye plan was exactly what he wanted.
He had already secretly investigated and found that the Night Organization was a civilian secret organization with no connection to any of the major ninja villages. Its leader was also a mysterious Kage-Level powerhouse, which was completely unmatched by the famous Kage-Level powerhouses of the major ninja villages.
With such a mysterious organization and leader, it is no surprise that this Night Organization will definitely be a disruptor of order in the ninja world in the future, stirring up trouble and chaos in the ninja world, and perhaps one day launching some kind of terrorist plan to subvert the order of the ninja world.
Therefore, Black Zetsu feels that it is necessary to let this interesting and mysterious organization secretly take control, and then become the driving force behind the Moon's Eye plan.
"However, the leader of this Night Organization is very mysterious and not easy to find. The White Zetsu are all idiots, so it's okay for them to secretly collect some intelligence, but it's definitely not okay for them to infiltrate the enemy and gather intelligence. We have to think of a way,"
Black Zetsu mused.
"Apart from the mysterious Lightning Release ninja and the Night Organization, is there any other interesting information?"
Uchiha Madara asked after receiving Black Zetsu's reply.
Black Zetsu saw that Uchiha Madara still wanted to ask something else, so he thought for a moment before replying, "That guy Danzo seems to be eyeing Wood Release, and recently he sent someone to the ruins of the Uzumaki country to steal a large number of the remains of the Uzumaki clan, and he even secretly sent someone to other ninja villages to steal the remains of some famous ninja."
"Danzo, this stinkbug actually does such disgusting things as grave robbing. It seems that this guy is now targeting the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation developed by the abominable guy Senju Tobirama. No wonder he is the disciple taught by that guy, disgusting enough."
Uchiha Madara sneered upon hearing this.
Then, he suddenly remembered something, and instantly exploded with a terrifying murderous aura, staring at the Black Zetsu in front of him, coldly saying, "Did that stinkbug do something to the remains of Senju Hashirama?"
