'Only I can personally manipulate Nagato to revive Madara!!'

According to Madara's own plan, after Nagato had mastered the power of the Rinnegan, guided by Obito, he would use the [Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique] to revive Madara.

But this plan ran into problems before it even began... Nagato awakened his own Shinobi way due to the death of his best friend.

Obito also had rebellious intentions. Perhaps he never intended to revive Uchiha Madara from the beginning; their relationship was merely one of mutual exploitation. Moreover, Obito was now "dead."

Nagato was always wary of it and unwilling to tell Black Zetsu the coordinates of his real body. Under such unfavorable conditions, Black Zetsu could only take this circuitous way to revive Madara.

The [Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique] was the ultimate Yang Release ninjutsu. It could summon the souls of the dead from the Pure Land back to their original bodies and inject immense Yang Release life force into the dead bodies.

Theoretically, it could directly revive Madara, who had been dead for a long time, without first summoning the soul using Edo Tensei and then using Samsara of Heavenly Life to reincarnate the flesh.

Black Zetsu's body completely sank into the ground and disappeared.

He needed to first "thaw" Madara's soul.

Madara only awakened the Rinnegan when he was very, very old. And based on the characteristics of the Rinnegan, even if the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique was used, the one revived in the end would only be Madara in his old state.

Old Madara, even if revived, what use would he be?

Whether from Madara's own perspective or Black Zetsu's perspective, they could not accept such a thing happening. Thus, rarely, the two's thinking aligned, and they agreed on a plan.

The two worked together and planned such a scheme—

Black Zetsu would go to the Land of Whirlpools to steal the Reaper Death Seal mask, and coordinate with the forbidden jutsu that Madara learned from the Scroll of Seals when he left Konoha. The two would be used together.

The effect was to summon the "Reaper" to swallow Old Madara's soul, slowly digest it in the Reaper's stomach, starting from the old state until the soul returned to its state at birth, swallowing Madara's soul little by little.

As this process progressed, Madara's soul gradually became younger until it returned to its state before birth.

Under time calculation, when Madara was revived, his soul state would be at its peak during the Valley of the End battle. And if Uchiha Madara was not revived in the end, then his soul would be rejuvenated by the Reaper to the state of [Nothingness], completely losing the possibility of being revived and never being reincarnated.

Whether it was the Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique, Edo Tensei, Dragon Life Reincarnation Technique, Dead Soul Soil: Ultimate Reincarnation, or Self-Reincarnation Technique... all resurrection-type ninjutsu would no longer be effective on Madara.

This was an extremely risky technique. If anything went wrong midway, everything would be over.

But Uchiha Madara was such an arrogant Shinobi, firmly believing that his plan could be successfully implemented.

Plus, there was "Black Zetsu," an embodiment of his own will, assisting in the world of the living...

There was nothing to worry about!

Madara activated this technique, allowing the Reaper to swallow his soul. Then he pulled out the tubes maintaining his life functions and died naturally.

What Black Zetsu needed to do now was to extract Madara's soul from the Reaper's stomach, let the soul of the prime Madara return to the underworld, and wait for the summoning of Edo Tensei or Samsara of Heavenly Life.

Under the repeated orders of the Daimyos of the Four Great Nations, the four Shinobi villages had to postpone their attack on Konoha.

Although attacking during the Fire Games was the best timing. But ultimately, the Shinobi village was an organization subordinate to the great nations. Unless they were prepared to break ties and cut off the path for future funding assistance from the country, they could only obey the Daimyo's orders when there were disagreements.

With the Fire Games approaching, Konoha and Kumogakure... ceased fire.

Originally, this should have been the best opportunity to make trouble for Konoha.

Helplessly, under the pressure of the Daimyo, the Fourth Raikage A returned to the village, learned that the Shinobi in the village were restless, and decided to use a great victory to boost morale.

Not a victory in military operations, but a victory in diplomacy!

Against this backdrop, Raikage A dispatched a team of trusted Shinobi to Konoha to sign the [Konoha-Kumo Armistice Agreement].

[Konoha-Kumo Armistice Agreement].

A had already planned everything in secret. The Shinobi leading the team was a Shinobi with high prestige in Kumogakure—Arnold.

His strength might not be strong, but his political background was very powerful. He was born into a Shinobi clan family and had considerable prestige among the commoner Shinobi. Most importantly... his brain wasn't very good.

He was the traditional type of Shinobi with simple thoughts and developed muscles.

A secretly gave him an order: While signing the armistice agreement with Konoha, kidnap a main family Shinobi from the Hyūga clan, or directly steal their eyes.

A gave Arnold a guarantee.

With the "ambassador" status as an immortal golden body, plus the current sensitive period, the Hyūga clan had detonated a local Shinobi war in the three border towns of the Land of Lightning, and peace was what Konoha itself needed...

Even if the operation failed, under the protection of multiple golden bodies, Arnold's life safety was not a concern. At most, he would be condemned by Konoha's statement.

But if the operation succeeded, returning to the village with the Hyūga Main Family's Byakugan, he, Arnold, would become a great hero of Kumogakure!

Arnold couldn't resist the temptation of becoming a hero and immediately accepted this secret mission.

But what was the truth?

A believed that Arnold had a high probability of dying in Konoha.

The Hyūga clan's Byakugan was of strategic significance to Konoha. How could they allow the Byakugan to flow out? Such a reason could only deceive a fool like Arnold whose head was full of muscles.

As long as he dared to steal the eyes, regardless of any immortal golden body, he would probably be killed on the spot.

Only when Arnold died... could A's plan be implemented smoothly.

Externally, accuse Konoha of proactively provoking trouble. The Hyūga clan committed war crimes and also killed Kumogakure's peace ambassador.

This was Konoha itself trampling on the spirit of the Fire Games.

Demand Konoha compensate Kumogakure with a pair of Byakugan, otherwise... the regulation prohibiting the outbreak of Shinobi war during the Fire Games was broken by Konoha itself.

Internally, divert the irreconcilable contradictions within the village. Shift the class contradictions within Kumogakure to contradictions between Shinobi villages.

Arnold had a good reputation in Kumogakure precisely because his head was full of muscles. When he died, the attention of the Shinobi in the village could be effectively diverted.

The upper-level Shinobi defended strictly, protecting the class barriers. The lower-level young and vigorous Shinobi tried hard to break this barrier and climb up. But there were only so many seats in the upper level, how could they be enough?

Kumogakure was like a mafia family. When interests were insufficient, whoever had the bigger fist would be listened to. There was no mind to care about the voices of the Shinobi below whose fists were not hard enough.

These unemployed young and vigorous Shinobi and restless young Shinobi captains, these people were becoming more and more numerous in Kumogakure.

Staying in the village was an unstable factor, causing trouble every day, inciting trouble. Raikage A also had no way.

As the ruling class Raikage, he could only send these unstable factors out to fight. Regardless of whether they died in the Shinobi war or made a fortune, the village could be stable for a while anyway.

If they could also eliminate some of Konoha's productive forces, directly or indirectly seize a larger market for the Land of Lightning capital, thereby alleviating Kumogakure's economic crisis, and further reducing the unemployed population in the village, it would be equivalent to reducing unstable factors from two directions at the same time, which would be even better.

He could only choose to start a real Shinobi war as soon as possible. Kumogakure now... desperately needed a real Shinobi war to silence the Shinobi who raised questions forever.

Fighting in the Land of Lightning was impossible.

The evidence of his communication with the yellow-haired Hokage was kept by both sides.

If he chose to attack the Konoha Shinobi in the three border towns, Minato Namikaze would expose the letters, and Kumogakure would once again fall into the turmoil of the Raikage Tower power struggle.

"Let Arnold die in Konoha~"

"This way, the village can temporarily unite against a common enemy."

Of course, even if he didn't die, A could take over and accuse Konoha of acting barbarically, disrespecting Kumogakure's laws, regulations, customs, and traditions, pinning unfounded accusations on Konoha, and damaging Konoha's image and prestige in the Shinobi world...

A lifted dumbbells while hoping.

——

"Extra! Extra! Peace talks!"

"In response to the call of the Konoha Fire Games spirit, Kumogakure has taken the initiative to send envoys to Konoha for peace talks!"

In the streets and alleys of Konoha, newsboys ran around, announcing this joyous event.

"Give me a copy!"

"I want one too!"

"I'll take them all! Give everyone in Konoha one copy! Lest outsiders think we Konoha look down on newspapers!"

Soon, the newspapers in the newsboy's hands were sold out.

The news that Konoha and Kumogakure were about to start peace talks spread widely.
