Black Zetsu is too timid.
If Kaguya is resurrected, Black Zetsu would naturally not be afraid; however, with the Chakra of the Six Paths Sage possibly still watching over the Ninja World, Black Zetsu feels a bit uneasy.
Actually, more than just a bit.
Black Zetsu is so scared that he doesn't dare to say Kaguya's name too much, fearing that talking about her too much might trigger the Six Paths Sage's nerves, causing him to suddenly jump out and stop them from resurrecting Kaguya.
"Now we need to resurrect mother as soon as possible…"
Black Zetsu looked at Akihara Kagura, who was reeling in his line, and couldn't help but advise, "Kagura, that guy could change his mind at any moment and stop us…"
"Of course."
Akihara Kagura's movements remained calm and deliberate as he seriously wound his fishing line, softly saying, "Now we have another problem…"
"We need an army of considerable size."
"If there isn't enough pressure on them, they're likely to only send a small group to fight me, so we need to find a way to gather everyone together…"
"According to the records on the bark, to resurrect that Lord requires a massive amount of Chakra. Besides resurrecting the Ten-tails, it also requires gathering as much Chakra from the entire Ninja World as possible to achieve all of this…"
"..."
Black Zetsu's gaze turned to the Gedo Statue, and he continued to deceive with a hoarse voice: "The Gedo Statue has another use, it can utilize the Chakra of the seven Tailed Beasts inside to cultivate White Zetsu, and then use the power of Hashirama Cells to enhance the White Zetsu. They can also be used for battle…"
"..."
Akihara Kagura was well aware of this, because he also had a Ten-tails vessel within him, and he could freely cultivate White Zetsu.
As for forcing the ninja of the Ninja World to gather together…
This is not just for resurrecting Kaguya, Akihara Kagura also needs the ninjas to come together to collect enough Chakra for his Ten-tails vessel.
However…
Akihara Kagura's method of collecting Chakra is relatively eco-friendly, as he only absorbs the current Chakra within a person's body.
"Then let's start cultivating the White Zetsu…"
Akihara Kagura followed Black Zetsu's gaze and looked towards the Gedo Statue: "If we can cultivate a sufficient number of White Zetsu, and if their combat ability isn't enough, they can be used as sacrifices for the Reanimation Jutsu to resurrect an army with decent combat power…"
"..."
Black Zetsu's forehead twitched.
"Better speed up…"
Akihara Kagura turned to look at Black Zetsu, speaking softly: "The Five Great Countries' Hidden Villages will soon hold a Five Kage Conference at The Hidden Rain Village, and they will certainly discuss how to stop me from destroying the Ninja World at that meeting. We should give them a little shock before that…"
"How do you know this information?"
Black Zetsu looked at Akihara Kagura with some surprise, then, as if realizing something, nodded to himself: "After all, the great countries of the Ninja World have all suffered because of you before, so they probably won't miss this chance to kill you, and the Hokage Assistant of Konoha made it so that those great countries didn't even dare to breathe loudly when they wanted to confront Konoha…"
"No…"
Akihara Kagura shook his head, revealing a mysterious smile: "Because the one who proposed that the Ninja World unite was me…"
"!!!"
Black Zetsu's eyes widened.
What an insidious operation this was!
Even the unification of the Ninja World was a part of this guy's plot!
Land of Rain, The Hidden Rain Village.
This small country caught between the three great countries once became their battlefield, but now it is gradually becoming the center of the Ninja World.
Ninjas from all the Hidden Villages in the Ninja World are traversing through the Land of Rain, heading to The Hidden Rain Village to discuss various arrangements for convening the Five Kage Conference there.
Aside from the Five Great Countries' Hidden Villages, there are many other large and small Hidden Villages in the Ninja World that had long agreed to Salamander Hanzo's request, including influential nations like the Land of Iron.
All of this was thanks to the work of one man.
Salamander Hanzo.
Salamander Hanzo proactively visited many people.
Despite his old age, there are still many who are willing to give him face, especially many small countries that highly revere Salamander Hanzo.
For instance, the Land of Iron, known for its neutral samurai in the Ninja World. Its leader, Warrior Leader Mishima, holds Salamander Hanzo in high regard. At Hanzo's invitation, he agreed to join forces at the critical moment to prevent the Ninja World's destruction.
This is quite understandable.
After all, if Akihara Kagura seeks to destroy the Ninja World, no one else would survive either, and what Konoha spreads is that their former Hokage Assistant, Akihara Kagura, would kill everyone…
Indeed.
The most important are still the five great countries.
To secure the cooperation of the Five Great Countries, Tsunade took the initiative to invite Salamander Hanzo to guarantee the convening of this Five Kage Summit.
Within The Hidden Rain Village.
Salamander Hanzo took on the responsibility of being the host.
From a status point of view, this elder, who holds a prominent reputation in the Ninja World's upper echelons, truly has the credentials to bear this responsibility, and even the leaders of various Hidden Villages afford him some respect.
For this Ninja World Summit, Salamander Hanzo specially constructed a grand-scale conference room, and even out of concern that the Five Great Countries might start fighting before the meeting, he built the room in the shape of a pentagon, with each of the Five Great Countries entering from separate areas.
