"Looks like I need to find an informant first."
That evening, while his body rested, Adam's soul left his body, and he thoroughly refined the plan on how to lure Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to reveal himself.
The next day, he once again entered the Naruto World.
"Flying Thunder God Technique."
His figure flickered, and following the Flying Thunder God Mark he had left on Sasuke, he appeared directly in a secret Akatsuki Organization Base.
"It's you!"
Seeing Adam suddenly appear beside him, Sasuke was instantly startled, quickly drew the kusanagi sword from his waist, and immediately activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, looking as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
He vividly remembered being so easily injured in Konoha back then.
"Is this the kusanagi sword? It looks quite good."
However, the next second, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Because the kusanagi sword in his hand had already appeared in the opponent's hand.
"His speed is much faster than last time; I couldn't react at all. If he wasn't taking the kusanagi sword, but wanted to kill me, wouldn't I be unable to even resist? This person is simply too terrifying!"
Ever since absorbing the Mangekyo Sharingan power from his brother Itachi, his strength had undergone a fundamental improvement.
Even the masked man who called himself Uchiha Madara and Nagato, the nominal leader of Akatsuki, he wasn't afraid of them.
Because he didn't think they were truly much stronger than him.
The only time he felt unbeatable was against the mysterious Adam from Konoha.
However, at that time, he at most felt he couldn't win, but he didn't feel completely powerless to fight back. After all, on the day he went to Konoha, he had just absorbed his brother Itachi's Sharingan power and couldn't use it freely yet.
But now he had completely mastered the power of the Eternity Mangekyo, and he believed that if he encountered Adam again, even if he couldn't win, he would definitely be able to escape.
However, now that he truly encountered him, he realized he had overthought things; it seemed Adam hadn't used his full strength last time he fought him.
At that speed, if Adam truly wanted to kill him, he wouldn't even have the chance to activate his Eternity Mangekyo.
"Don't be so nervous. I don't want your kusanagi sword. Let's sit down and chat."
Handing the kusanagi sword to Sasuke, Adam looked benevolent.
Sasuke, seeing this, couldn't help but shiver, feeling a bad premonition.
"There doesn't seem to be anything for us to talk about."
"What are you saying? Naruto and I are excellent friends, and you and Naruto are also excellent friends. By that logic, we are naturally excellent friends too."
Adam stepped forward, pressed Sasuke into a chair, and laughed heartily.
Sasuke raised an eyebrow:
"Naruto and I are no longer friends. My current goal is to destroy Konoha. He is a Ninja of Konoha, and he is also on my list of people to kill."
"But with me around, your goal probably won't be achieved."
Adam shrugged indifferently.
Sasuke replied expressionlessly:
"You are indeed very strong, but as far as I know, each time you appear in this World, you can only stay for one hour. Moreover, Uchiha Madara told me that he already has a way to deal with you.
His ultimate weapon is complete, and he also has puppets that can contend with all the Ninja in the entire Ninja World. He is about to declare war on the Ninja World."
"This guy, he's really quite tsundere."
Hearing Sasuke's words, Adam was also a bit speechless.
It was obvious that Sasuke, who had already killed Danzo and two high-ranking Konoha officials, wasn't truly seeking revenge on the entire Konoha. Otherwise, he wouldn't be talking about destroying Konoha and killing Naruto, yet deliberately revealing such important intelligence to him.
But this was good; it saved him a lot of trouble, and he was even more confident that the choice of this informant should not be a problem.
"I know. Their so-called ultimate weapon is to absorb the Chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts using the Gedo Mazo, and then revive the Ten-Tails. And those puppets that contend with the Ninja World are one hundred thousand White Zetsu."
"You… how do you know?!"
Hearing Adam's words, Sasuke's eyes nearly popped out in shock.
After returning from Konoha last time, his heart was very confused. There were many things he couldn't understand, and he didn't know how to choose his future.
So he had deliberately revealed some information to Adam, but he didn't expect Adam to be so knowledgeable about Uchiha Madara's plan.
"That's not important. I just ask you, do you want to know the whole truth?"
Adam waved his hand.
"The whole truth?"
A look of confusion appeared on Sasuke's face.
Adam smiled:
"The so-called truth you know now is all from Uchiha Madara and Danzo. You probably aren't so sure about what exactly happened back then.
If I let you see Itachi and the past Naruto again, I think you should be able to know all the truth."
"You know the Edo Tensei?"
Sasuke immediately understood Adam's meaning.
His brother Itachi and the past Naruto had long since died. To see them again, it could only be through the Edo Tensei.
"Looks like you are very smart."
Adam nodded.
Tsunade had not given him the Edo Tensei; Tsunade would never give him such a Ninjutsu that desecrated the dead.
But it didn't matter. In these two months, besides looking for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, he hadn't been idle.
With his current strength, no one in the entire Ninja World, except for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, who might be able to put up a fight if he used all his power, could even touch his Shadow.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique and Apparition for direct teleportation, the Disillusionment Charm for invisibility, and various auxiliary magic like Alohomora, he had visited not only Konoha but also the other five Great Ninja Villages without anyone knowing.
He had replicated every Ninjutsu of some renown in the entire Ninja World.
Although he hadn't learned all of them yet, he had prioritized learning some important Ninjutsu.
For example, this Edo Tensei, which can revive and control the dead.
Although he learned the original version, which wasn't as strong as Orochimaru's and Kabuto's improved versions, that wasn't important.
He wasn't asking Itachi and the Naruto to fight for him; he just wanted them to talk to Sasuke after being Edo Tensei, resolve Sasuke's emotional knot, and make him his inside man in the Akatsuki Organization.
In his eyes, the Ten-Tails and one hundred thousand White Zetsu created by Obito were not a problem at all; a Mouth Cannon could solve everything, or even without a Mouth Cannon.
His problem was that he could only come to the Naruto World for one hour each day. If a major battle happened when he wasn't there, that would be more troublesome.
So, with Sasuke as an informant, he could roughly know the time of Obito's decisive battle, and then appear to put on a show of being severely injured and dying after a mutual defeat with Kaguya.
He could have killed Obito and the others in advance, but if he did that, Kaguya could not be revived, and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could not be lured out.
