Chapter 168 : Reactions
Oh my, Madara-sama, something really big is happening in the outside world."
Black Zetsu's voice carried a sinister amusement as he spoke, his ever-present smirk making it hard to tell if he was joking or serious.
"Tell me the story."
"The latest news? Sunagakure has vanished without a trace."
Madara's expression remained unreadable, but there was an undeniable flicker of intrigue in his eyes. Sunagakure—the Village Hidden in the Sand—was one of the five great nations, a power in the shinobi world. The idea of it simply ceasing to exist defied logic.
"The entire village is gone?" Madara asked, his tone more thoughtful than surprised.
In his time, Sunagakure already had an established history, its shinobi known for their adaptability to the harsh desert. Every great nation had its own legacy, its own strength—none of them should be capable of disappearing overnight.
And yet, it had happened.
"Black Zetsu, don't you know anything about this?"
Black Zetsu shrugged. "Madara-sama, I've been keeping an eye on White Zetsu. I only found out about this when I went out recently."
Interesting.
