Naruto: I Traveled with a Max Level Account-Chapter 171 - 570: Since They Play Dirty, We Won’t Hold Back

"If they want to play dirty, why should we hold back?"

"Spread the word. Make sure this gets out everywhere. Also, issue formal protests from both the village and the Fire Daimyō's office to Iwagakure and Kumogakure."

"And don't stop there—send word to the daimyō of the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning as well. The bigger the scandal, the better. Let's make sure the whole world knows exactly what they're up to."

Kidnapping shinobi?

These guys had some nerve.

Was their research hitting a dead end? Is that why they suddenly set their sights on the bloodlines of the Uzumaki and Uchiha Clans?

So far, they had only targeted Uchiha, but Takuya was certain that the Uzumaki were also on their list.

It's just that the Uzumaki were too cautious to leave the village, making them harder to capture.

So the Uchiha became their primary target instead.

Normally, these kinds of conflicts were handled quietly, but Takuya wanted to escalate it.

The bigger the mess, the better.

He was practically helping Black Zetsu by handing over intelligence on a silver platter.

By exposing Iwagakure and Kumogakure's experiments and their attempts to exploit the Uchiha, he'd make sure Black Zetsu knew exactly what they were up to.

Let's see if Black Zetsu panics.

No one understood the power of the Rinnegan better than him.

And he also knew just how difficult it was to control.

But as long as the goal was clear, there was always a way to achieve it.

Iwagakure and Kumogakure had already figured out a method.

The best hosts for the Rinnegan?

Uzumaki and Uchiha shinobi.

If these two villages made any real progress, Black Zetsu's grand plan would be in serious jeopardy.

"So you want to leak the information, make sure their enemies hear about it, and force them to act?"

Tsunade immediately understood Takuya's intentions.

"Exactly."

Takuya smirked.

"If they want to play dirty, then we'll hit them where it hurts.

"The Rinnegan isn't in our hands, so we'll let Madara deal with them instead."

Tsunade paused for a moment. Then she laughed.

"Not bad. This might actually work."

The Rinnegan wasn't in Konoha anymore.

So if things escalated, it wouldn't be Konoha's problem.

Let Iwagakure and Kumogakure suffer for their arrogance.

Let them learn that they weren't the undisputed top dogs of the shinobi world.

"I'll take care of it."

Then, almost as an afterthought, Tsunade asked, "Could you control the Rinnegan if you got your hands on it?"

"I already have my own. Why would I need another?"

Takuya rolled his eyes.

People were greedy by nature—even Tsunade wasn't an exception.

But for him, Madara's Rinnegan was useless.

It wasn't his, and anything foreign would inevitably cause rejection.

Having an extra Rinnegan would be nothing but a liability.

If it wasn't compatible with his body, it would only bring trouble.

Since he couldn't use it, why waste time?

Better to throw it into someone else's hands and watch the chaos unfold.

Let them play their little power games—so long as it kept them too busy to start a war with Konoha.

Once Madara emerged, they'd have their hands full.

Takuya could already see it:

Madara tearing through Iwagakure and Kumogakure.

He probably wouldn't even need the Rinnegan—his Susanoo alone was enough to wipe them out.

And if he did decide to go all out?

A few meteorites should do the trick.

Wouldn't that be a bit overkill?

Then again, that's exactly what Madara did in the original timeline.

"Alright, let's head back to the village. I'm done training."

It was about time he helped Tsunade with some of the workload.

Otherwise, her temper would keep getting worse, which wasn't great for him.

"Now that's more like it."

Tsunade smirked as she looked up at him, wearing an expression that screamed you finally wised up.

Takuya: "..."

—

Konoha immediately dispatched official letters to both Iwagakure and Kumogakure, demanding explanations for their actions.

What the hell?

Shouldn't this kind of thing be handled behind closed doors?

Now Konoha was stirring up unnecessary drama.

And for what? A pointless war of words?

Of course, neither Iwagakure nor Kumogakure admitted to anything.

They simply deflected blame.

Captured shinobi?

Clearly, those were rogue nin who had defected from their villages!

Nothing to do with official orders!

Both Ōnoki and the Third Raikage dismissed the accusations outright.

They had no intention of stopping their operations.

They would keep sending people into the Land of Fire until they captured an Uchiha.

But then... something unexpected happened.

The daimyō got involved.

The Fire Daimyō personally reached out to his counterparts in the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning.

When the feudal lords got involved, things got serious.

Ōnoki and the Third Raikage finally realized—Konoha wasn't just making noise.

They were escalating the situation.

With pressure coming from their own daimyō, things weren't looking good.

And sure enough, within a few days, the entire shinobi world knew the truth.

Everyone learned that Iwagakure and Kumogakure had been secretly capturing Uchiha shinobi in the Land of Fire.

As for why they were capturing them...

Well, that much was obvious.

Human experimentation.

Konoha's outrage was completely justified.

Human experimentation was officially banned by all five great nations.

Sure, every village did it in secret.

But no one was dumb enough to get caught.

Konoha, however, had no problem exposing them in broad daylight.

Ōnoki and the Third Raikage had been utterly humiliated.

Even their own daimyō were now putting pressure on them.

This was bad for their reputation.

If they didn't shut this down, their own people would start whispering behind their backs.

And so, under orders from their daimyō, both leaders were forced to call off their operations—at least, for now.

Black Zetsu, having learned of these developments, was furious.

This was not what he wanted.

His plan had been to steal the Rinnegan in secret.

Not to create a massive uproar that would make it even harder to act. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Black Zetsu didn't fear the Five Great Nations.

But he did fear the Sage of Six Paths and his brother.

If those two had left behind any hidden contingencies, things could get very complicated.

If he played his hand too early, it might ruin everything.

Madara's dream?

Black Zetsu didn't care about that at all.

But his mother's resurrection?

That was his only priority.

Now that things had spiraled out of control, he had no choice.

He personally infiltrated Iwagakure and Kumogakure, searching for the Rinnegan.

At the same time, he scattered his spores throughout both villages, planting the seeds of his influence.
