The Sharingan Hyuga - Volume 2 Chapter 50 A Talk With Zetsu

After a few hours,

Shuichi woke up in some sort of dark room with a single candle beside the bed. “ugh, where am I?”.He activated byakugan and when he saw a mass of chakra, he immediately stood up from the bed and asked while being wary “Who are you?”.

“I’m Zetsu”. Shuichi frowned “you are not human. you don’t have any tenketsu in your body. you are too small and patient for a Bijuu. who are you? A chakra being?”.

he replied “I’m Zetsu. nothing else and nothing more Shuichi kun”.

When he heard his name, He immediately created a fire chakra sword which illuminated the room and saw it’s appearance. He asked “you are not human after all. I guess a summoned creature? Who is your master? how do you know my name?”

Zetsu answered “first, I’m not a summoned creature. I’m a will. as for how do I know your name. hmm, I first saw you in the valley of the end. I was really surprised that there is a perfect hybrid like you. from then on, I kept my eye on you whether to decide you are worth or not?”.

He frowned “worth? for what?”. Zetsu replied, “to become the saviour of the world”.

Shuichi looked at him “you are spouting some nonsense. I’m going back to Konoha”. when just walked a few steps, Zetsu said, “you won’t be welcomed there”. He turned back “what are you saying?”.

Zetsu replied “Think about the person who you killed. He is an elder of Konoha. and you think you will be welcomed as a hero?. By now, everyone must have already known that you have done it”.

Shuichi retorted “so what if that’s the case. Once I submit the evidence, then it would be sufficient”.

Zetsu looked at him “sure. but since you are a Hyuga, you should know the consequences for breaking the rules. you won’t be served something like a death sentence but will be punished to show the village that just having strength wouldn’t get you the privilege to do what you want”.

Shuichi thought about his words for some reason and realised his words were right but still, he tried to defend himself “but I have Hyuga clan with me”. Zetsu sneered “having Hyuga clan as your back will be the very reason they should punish you. or else what will civilians think?.

They will think that if you have a huge clan as your back, then you will get away from crime. Think about it, even if you submit th evidence, will the village release his deeds to the public? It would instantly make a mockery towards them. That’s why they will just keep it as a secret just like how they did with Uchiha”.

Shuichi was taken back “Uchiha? what do they have to do with the Hokage? wait a minute.” Then he remembered the conversation he had with the Third Hokage. He mumbled “it seems I was right. there is a huge conspiracy with the clan Massacre”.

Zetsu nodded “your suspicions are right. I don’t want to be the right person to tell you the story but I have no choice now”. Then he proceeded to explain the conspiracy behind the scenes of it.

Shuichi was shocked when he heard the details “no way. That’s impossible. the third Hokage wouldn’t do something like that”.

Zetsu replied “you can directly talk with Itachi and confirm it with your self. For the sake of the village, He killed his family but what did he get in return is getting branded as a traitor and a runaway brother.

They wouldn’t even try to bring Sasuke back and send your unimportant genins so that it would fail. such is the behaviour of your village. forget about anyone. Just think for one bit. even you were manipulated to kill someone they wished just so that you want to complete the task in the name of your revenge.

If you still don’t believe it, I will show you the record of humans history”.

Zetsu enveloped him. Shuichi shouted, “what are you doing?”. He proceeded to activate his Mangekyou so that he can cancel his abilities.

But he stopped when he was shown the recordings of the second shinobi war. Zetsu spoke, “These are the recording of the shinobi war that humans waged for the sake of selfishness”.

Zetsu started to show him how the war affected the Shinobi world. “Sakumo Hatake, is that kakashi sensei’s father?”. Zetsu replied, “yes, watch how the village betrayed a great hero”. he was shown how he saved his comrades only to get ostracised by the village.

Shuichi asked, “what happened to him in the end?”. Zetsu replied, “he committed suicide”.

Then suddenly the war changed “These are the recordings of Third Shinobi war”. then he was shown how Pakura, a great hero of the sand village was betrayed by their village. then, he saw how kakashi killed his teammate Rin.

“No way, how could kakashi sensei would kill his teammate?”. Zetsu replied “he was forced to. The mist village forced her to sacrifice herself”. Then, when he saw the image again, he remembered Yakumo who died in the same manner as Rin.

He was even showed the scene where Hanzo tried to threatened Nagato by using Konan.

Shuichi was enraged “this despicable man is the one they called a Half god?. how dare he do that”. Then he was shown Yosuga pass incident like how shinobi were betrayed by their allies.

After that, he returned to his original form while leaving Shuichi speechless. He mumbled “so, this is the five great village’s nature. For the sake of their benefits, they wouldn’t hesitate to kill their own, plot their allies and destroying all small nations in the wars who were just nothing more than casualties in the competitiveness between two big nations?”

Zetsu spoke again “Shuichi kun, just by killing one Danzo can’t make the world better. You also cannot kill everyone you see. the world is full of greed, selfishness and malice. Forget about others, even your clan members hate just because you have Uchiha blood.

and not to mention, the main clan members put their cursed seal on their branch clan to not make them rebel against them by simply using the excuse that they need to protect Byakugan.

You should know how Kyuubi’s jinchuuriki was hated by the village from he was born.

The present world became like that. It needs a saviour to protect it and I also found one. he made the organisation called Akatsuki and gather some strong people”

Shuichi frowned “Akatsuki?”. Zetsu looked at him “it seems you heard of it”.

Shuichi thought of the intel he got from Yura back then and replied “can’t say I haven’t heard of it. wasn’t Itachi a member of it?”.

Zetsu nodded “yes, this is why I was looking for another saviour. The current saviour gathered S-rank criminals for the organisation to make the world better. but since they have that kind of history, their methods are also cruel”. Shuichi nodded when he thought of the intel how two of them going to invade sand after 2 years.

Zetsu then spoke “But what else can we do. The people who are strong and have the responsibility all just cared about own village and destroy other villages. We can only gather criminals like those who don’t have a place in their nation.

But i want to ask, how did they criminal in the first place. It’s not like they are born like that. The incidents around them forced them to be like that. If the world had been a better place, wouldn’t you think your friends will be alive now?. wouldn’t your uncle be alive by now?

The ones they killed is not some Danzo or some ninja from Kumo, but the thing known as human greed and selfishness.

You are strong. you are intelligent. Moreover, you know how to treat your enemies as well as your friends. That is why the organisation or should I say the world needs someone like you”.

Shuichi looked at him and asked “say Zetsu, you said that you are a will right? whose will you are?”.

Zetsu replied “Madara Uchiha. He too wished the world peace but his sense of peace differed from the First Hokage.

So, he was made evil by some loyal subordinates of the Shodaime. But he still didn’t give up even when he was dying. so, I was born from his will at his last moments”.

Shuichi asked, “What are Akatsuki’s goals?”. Zetsu shook his head “I’m not the one who created Akatsuki. So, I shouldn’t be the one to tell you. But all I can say that when our goal is finished, a new world is reconstructed. A world where everyone can be happy”.

Shuichi frowned “there’s no such thing as eternal happiness. and there’s no way all can be happy”.

Zetsu shooks his head “it’s possible. there’s a way to do that”. Shuichi replied, “sounds like some sort of genjutsu on a world scale to me”. Zetsu didn’t comment on that.

“Okay, one last question. you already have a saviour now. what is even the need for me?. or should I say what are you expecting from me?”.

Zetsu replied “for now there’s nothing but the leader may give you some missions. If you find them wrong, then you can deny it and choose the missions you wish. I will talk to him. you can partner up with me.

If its the method you find unethical or not willing to do it. you can either think of a way or I will do it instead of it. Oh! by the way, I’m only half Zetsu. I’ll introduce my brother white Zetsu. I’m sure you will get along with him. After all, he was born from Madara’s jutsu and First Hokage’s chakra”.

Shuichi then said, “I need to get back to Konoha”. Then, he started to walk again to the exit. Zetsu mumbled, “did I failed after all that?”. But just then, he heard Shuichi’s voice “I’ll join the Akatsuki”.

After he was gone, a white counterpart of it, appeared from below “so, how did it go?”.

black Zetsu replied “It went good. but he isn’t ready yet for my plans. It has to wait for a while”.

White Zetsu asked, “Is he really worth as you claim?”. Black Zetsu “we’ll see about that?”.
