Chapter 286 Prelude

Looking at Obito who was caught in a frenzy, Black Zetsu laughed in his heart.

Uchiha Madara, like Uchiha Obito, dreamed in their hearts that after resurrecting the Ten-Tails, he could lead all mankind into an infinite Tsukuyomi dreamland with no war and eternal peace.

In the eternal dream, everyone can achieve everything they want and be happy forever.

But what they don't know is that Bai Zetsu, who they manipulate as a slave, is a human being transformed by Infinite Tsukuyomi. After their souls and chakra are absorbed by the sacred tree, these ancient humans only have their bodies left.

Infinite Tsukuyomi was just a lie to deceive Indra from the beginning.

It is a pity that all the reincarnations of Indra were very poor and far from meeting the requirements for collecting tailed beasts. As a result, the Infinite Tsukuyomi Project has never been successful and Mother has been trapped on the moon for nearly a thousand years.

However, that is all in the past.

This time, he has gone through decades of planning. Not only has he discovered talents like Bai Ye, but even the growth of Asura is under his control, and the success rate of the plan will be greatly improved.

The only problem is that Bai Ye's growth rate is a bit too fast.

In less than ten years, Byakuya grew from a Jonin in the Akatsuki organization to a mastermind who controlled several Ninja villages. He had several strong Kage-level men under his command, and the owner of the Samsara Eye, Nagato, also obeyed his words.

Black Zetsu was a little worried that Byakuya would escape control, and after resurrecting the Ten-Tails, he refused to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

After all, compared with Obito and Uchiha Madara, who are losers, Byakuya has not experienced many setbacks at all, and there is no need for Infinite Tsukuyomi to escape reality.

Thinking of this, Black Zetsu looked at Obito and began to think about how to check and balance Byakuya.

Compared with the two unfilial sons Hamura and Hagoromo, as the last child of his mother, he only inherited part of his mother's power, and it was impossible to fight against a shadow-level powerhouse on his own.

Therefore, he can only rely on Obito to check and balance Byakuya. Only by keeping Byakuya and Obito in a competitive relationship can he be able to have both sides and become the ultimate reaper.

After pondering for a moment, Black Zetsu said to Obito: "I know your and Madara-sama's ideals, but besides you, there are others who are also eyeing Uchiha."

Obito frowned, a little dissatisfied: "Who else is eyeing Uchiha?"

"Byakuya..." Black Zetsu said expressionlessly, "According to Afu's report, Byakuya has recently left Amegakure Village and is active near Konoha Ninja Village."

"I suspect Byakuya also wants to take action against Uchiha. Do you still remember that time on the night of the Nine-Tails..."

After hearing this, Obito's face turned very ugly.

Of course he remembered the night of the Nine-Tails. At that time, he wanted to release the Nine-Tails while Kushina was giving birth, and while completing the recovery of the Nine-Tails, he also weakened the Konoha Ninja Village.

As a result, the psychic contract he left on Kyuubi disappeared, and the battle with the Fourth Hokage was severely punished by his former teacher.

If his body hadn't been transformed into Bai Jue, he would have died long ago.

As a result, after he struggled to escape, he realized that Byakuya had actually been staying nearby but had not taken action. He watched him being defeated by the Fourth Hokage and even laughed at him afterwards.

He laughed at him because he was too weak and shouldn't attack the Nine-Tails at this time. He was too quick to collect the tailed beasts.

This time he spent several years influencing Uchiha Itachi, hoping to take advantage of the conflict between the village and Uchiha to train a Mangekyou Sharingan subordinate.

As a result, Bai Ye focused on his prey again at this time...

Black Zetsu saw something was wrong with Obito's expression, and struck a chord while the iron was hot: "Obito, why don't you give up your cooperation with Uchiha Itachi... Byakuya has already set his sights on Uchiha."

Obito glanced at Black Zetsu, and then said: "You mean I'm not as good as Byakuya, so Byakuya likes my prey, and I have to give up obediently?"

Black Zetsu shook his head and said: "I just think this is more efficient. Byakuya's goal is to collect tailed beasts at the same time, so we don't need to conflict with him."

"When the tailed beasts are collected, we can deal with him at will."

Obito seemed to have remembered something funny, and after sneering, he said:

"Byakuya doesn't understand Uchiha. His methods are ineffective against Uchiha. I will prove that I am better than him."

Speaking of this, Obito's eyes flashed.

He knew that he couldn't compare to Byakuya in some aspects. Byakuya was a more powerful genius than Kakashi. When he got along with Madara, he could feel that Madara admired Byakuya very much.

If he and Bai Ye were the two people who fell into the hole, Bai Ye might be able to inherit Madara's mantle and become the executor of the Moon Eye Project.

But what he dislikes the most is such a self-righteous genius.

Even if reality is false and boring, he doesn't want to always lose to Byakuya. He wants to prove that he is stronger than these so-called geniuses and that Uchiha is better than the Uzumaki clan.

After successfully stimulating Obito's fighting spirit, Black Zetsu sneaked into the shadows.

This time the war between Uchiha and Konoha is a stage. Byakuya and Obito are the two actors on the stage, and he is the audience silently watching the performance in the auditorium. He just needs to wait quietly.

…

After getting the promise from the masked man, Uchiha Itachi returned home.

Her mother, Uchiha Mikoto, had already prepared dinner. The family was sitting at the dining table to eat, and the atmosphere was very depressing and tense.

After Brother Zhisui disappeared, the atmosphere in the family has been so tense.

Uchiha Itachi knew that Fugaku wanted to launch a coup. Fugaku suspected that Uchiha Itachi had killed Shisui, and serious differences arose between father and son.

Sasuke was holding a perfect score in his hand and was waiting for praise. He was a little overwhelmed when he saw this scene.

After looking at Sasuke and then at Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Fugaku said calmly: "After dinner, come to my study. I have something to tell you."

Uchiha Itachi nodded, and after eating quickly, he came to the study.

After closing the study door, Uchiha Fugaku revealed his Sharingan and said to Uchiha Itachi: "Tomorrow night, I will lead my tribe to launch a coup."

When Uchiha Itachi heard this, he froze on the spot.

Uchiha Fugaku saw Itachi's confusion and said to himself:

"Our plan is to kidnap the Jinchuuriki and release the Kyuubi, and while the defense forces are distracted, attack the Hokage building and control the Third Hokage."

"For this day, our tribe has been enduring for more than ten years."

"I will be waiting for your arrival at the clan meeting tomorrow. If you are still an Uchiha, you will join me in launching a coup tomorrow."

Uchiha Fugaku revealed all his plans without considering Itachi's feelings at all.

If this delay continues, sooner or later the clan members will fall into madness due to pressure. The village owes Uchiha too many things, and these things must be compensated accordingly.

After saying that, Uchiha Fugaku walked out of the study, leaving Uchiha Itachi to think silently.
