Jindai saw Yakushi Kabuto, the future master of dreams.
But the current Kabuto looked a bit silly.
Kabuto was also pitiful, tricked by Danzo, and forced to kill Yakushi Nonou, whom he considered his mother, eventually even questioning his own existence.
"Jindai! Time to get ready to go back!"
Obito called out to Jindai from afar.
"Coming!"
Jindai took one last look at Kabuto and ran to Obito and Kakashi's side.
The battlefield had been cleared, and the main force was preparing to return to Konoha.
Jindai followed the main force back to Konoha.
Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, and other Ninja went to the Hokage Building for a meeting.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi had judged the Battle of Kikyo Mountain to be the final battle, and that the war would end, the minor skirmishes that followed would certainly not cease.
Jindai and the others went their separate ways.
However, before they all went home, Rin Nohara suggested, "Let's go to the BBQ restaurant to celebrate."
Obito immediately responded, "Great! Of course!"
Kakashi also nodded in agreement, "Hmm, let's go now then."
"I'm not going, I still have something to do. You guys go celebrate, I'm going home."
Jindai wanted to think carefully about how to solve Pakura's problem; he had no appetite until he found a solution.
Jindai left directly for home.
Rin Nohara wondered, "What's wrong with Jindai? Shouldn't he be the most enthusiastic when it comes to food?"
Kakashi looked at Jindai's retreating back and said, "It might be because of Pakura. Jindai has been preoccupied like this ever since he fought Pakura on the battlefield."
Obito also worried, "Yeah, he won't say anything no matter what we ask, it's driving me crazy."
After Jindai returned home, he closed the door, took a shower, and then lay on the bed, deep in thought.
"How can I find out when Pakura will leave Hidden Sand Village… This is a big problem. It would have been great if I had thought of it earlier. If I had thought of it earlier, I would have put a tracker on Pakura or something, and I wouldn't have to worry about this point.
But who would have thought that Pakura would want to become Kazekage and then bring me back to Hidden Sand Village? Even if I could go back now, I don't want to go back to Hidden Sand Village again; isn't that just redundant?
Should I risk going to Hidden Sand Village to put a tracker on Pakura? No, the people of Hidden Sand Village are eager to devour me now. If I go and get discovered, wouldn't I be gnawed until not even bones are left? I'm not invincible, so I need to find a safer method."
Jindai was now at his wit's end, feeling extremely tricky.
...
Mount Cemetery.
Black Zetsu had already brought Uchiha Setsuna before Uchiha Madara.
Black Zetsu proudly puffed out his chest and said to Uchiha Madara, "Madara, I've brought the person!"
Uchiha Madara saw the unconscious Uchiha Setsuna and regretfully shook his head: "If only it were like him, and I could have brought Obito to see me smoothly."
Black Zetsu's proud posture instantly crumbled.
Are you going to keep picking on that brat Obito?!
If it weren't for the fact that Black Zetsu knew everything about Uchiha Madara, Black Zetsu would have reason to suspect Obito was Uchiha Madara's illegitimate son.
So obsessed with Obito… Besides Senju Hashirama, who else has Uchiha Madara been so obsessed with?
In Black Zetsu's eyes, Obito was truly useless, with no value to exploit at all.
"Wake him up. We'll start trying to awaken his Mangekyo Sharingan immediately. If it fails, we'll have to make other arrangements. My proxy plan will have to be completely revised."
Black Zetsu silently patted Uchiha Setsuna awake.
The moment Uchiha Setsuna opened his eyes, he only saw a giant Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
Uchiha Madara directly used genjutsu on Uchiha Setsuna, Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique.
Uchiha Setsuna's pupils dilated to their limit, and the surrounding scene changed to Konoha.
And standing before Uchiha Setsuna now was Senju Tobirama.
"Se-Senju Tobirama?!"
Indeed, what Uchiha Setsuna feared most was Senju Tobirama.
At that time, Uchiha Setsuna was inciting the Uchiha to seize power with him, and Senju Tobirama had already arrived with his men.
The moment he saw Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Setsuna was completely stunned.
Senju Tobirama's goal was very clear: to arrest him.
Uchiha Setsuna tried to resist, and Senju Tobirama directly severed his left arm.
Now in Uchiha Setsuna's field of vision.
Senju Tobirama stood with his arms crossed, his icy gaze full of oppressive power as he declared, "Uchiha Setsuna, as a member of the Konoha Military Police Force, you incited the Uchiha to rebel and cause trouble. I am now arresting you and imprisoning you!"
Uchiha Setsuna was surprised to find his left arm restored, and at the same time, he was horrified to find himself uncontrollably drawing his Ninja blade and striking at Senju Tobirama.
"Attempting to resist?"
Senju Tobirama pulled out a Kunai with a backhand, and Uchiha Setsuna couldn't even see Senju Tobirama clearly before his arm was severed.
The seemingly real pain made Uchiha Setsuna scream.
Uchiha Madara saw Uchiha Setsuna's extremely terrified expression and murmured, "It's time. The forbidden jutsu that determines fate, Izanami!"
Uchiha Madara's Three-Tomoe Sharingan gradually turned grayish-white until it lost its luster.
And Uchiha Setsuna, as if subjected to a paralysis jutsu, sat blankly on the ground.
Uchiha Madara reached out his hand to the right, pulled out an eye from the White Zetsu beside him, and placed it into his own eye socket.
Uchiha Madara regained his vision.
Black Zetsu looked at the dazed Uchiha Setsuna and asked, "You said before that Izanami can only be released after accepting fate, and fate can be set by you, the caster. What condition did you set?"
Uchiha Madara said expressionlessly, "What Uchiha Setsuna fears most is clearly Senju Tobirama, but fear alone is useless. He has no will to resist Senju Tobirama at all, so the condition I set for him to release the genjutsu is that when he counters Senju Tobirama, Izanami will be released."
In the loop of Izanami.
Uchiha Setsuna continuously tried various methods to escape, but without exception, each time his left arm was severed by Senju Tobirama.
Uchiha Setsuna hadn't thought of resisting; the time his arm was severed by Senju Tobirama became his nightmare.
Just now, Uchiha Madara's Hell Viewing Technique made him relive the nightmare once more; Uchiha Setsuna simply did not have the courage to counter Senju Tobirama.
Being repeatedly severed of his arm and enduring the pain of a severed limb brought Uchiha Setsuna's mind to the brink of collapse.
Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu waited for a long time.
Uchiha Setsuna's Three-Tomoe Sharingan showed no change, and Izanami had not been released.
Disappointment gradually appeared in Uchiha Madara's eyes.
