Naruto: Mikoto, Tsunade won't let anyone go.

Near the border of the Land of Rain

Madara Uchiha, who was flying rapidly through the sky, suddenly seemed to sense something. His figure abruptly stopped in mid-air, and he quickly turned his head, casting his gaze towards the direction of Konoha Village in the Land of Fire.

"Ban, what's wrong?"

Just as Madara Uchiha stopped, Black Zetsu emerged from underground and asked in a low voice.

He had just possessed White Zetsu and was able to travel quickly underground using the Wood Release: Dan Gen Hidden Technique, allowing him to keep up with Madara Uchiha's flying speed.

The White Zetsu, who had stood up alongside Black Zetsu, urged him with some confusion as soon as Black Zetsu finished speaking:

"Lord Madara, we need to hurry to Amegakure. We don't know where Jiraiya is hiding. If we are too late, he might get away."

At this moment, Madara Uchiha had already withdrawn his gaze from the distance. After glancing at Obito Uchiha, who had just revealed himself, a playful smile appeared on his lips:

"Just now, I sensed my Rinnegan, so I changed my mind."

Black Zetsu and the others naturally knew the importance of the Rinnegan to their plan, so after hearing Madara Uchiha's words, they asked somewhat anxiously:

"That damned Uchiha Kakuzan has finally stopped hiding the Rinnegan? Madara, we must get the Rinnegan back, otherwise we won't be able to revive you, let alone our plans."

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's words, Madara Uchiha nodded, a rare occurrence, and then said:

"In my perception, the Rinnegan should be located in Konoha Village, and it is sealed. If I hadn't tampered with it beforehand, I wouldn't have been able to sense its location at all."

The Rinnegan was Madara Uchiha's most important legacy before his death. To prevent anyone who obtained the Rinnegan from escaping his control, Madara Uchiha left behind many methods within it.

Upon hearing Madara Uchiha's words, White Zetsu asked with some curiosity:

"So, Lord Madara, shall we head to Konoha now and retrieve the Rinnegan?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Madara Uchiha, waiting for him to make his final decision.

However, Madara Uchiha glanced at everyone before continuing:

"Of course not. I still need to capture Jiraiya. As for the Rinnegan, I'll leave that to you to visit Konoha."

As soon as Madara Uchiha finished speaking, not only was White Zetsu stunned, but even Obito Uchiha, who had been silent all along, twitched his lips violently, as if he had heard some kind of fantastical tale.

Just kidding. Konoha Village is not easy to break into. Not to mention others, just the Uchiha clan leader, Uchiha Kakuzan, was able to keep them in Konoha Village. They alone could not possibly snatch the Rinnegan back.

This is not an underestimation of their own abilities, but rather the result of years of hard-won experience.

Leaving aside the thousands of White Zetsu clones that White Zetsu lost, just look at Obito Uchiha. Apart from his head and part of his torso not being filled in by White Zetsu and not turning white, his remaining limbs and little tuft of hair had long been transformed into the appearance of White Zetsu. This shows how much suffering he endured at Uchiha Hill.

Moreover, even so, Obito Uchiha and his group still couldn't figure out just how strong Uchiha Kagami really was.

After a moment of silence, Black Zetsu coughed, a rare occurrence, before continuing:

"Madara, if you don't step in, it will be very difficult for us to take the Rinnegan back from Uchiha Kakuzan..."
