Through this jutsu, Madara had accepted the new member who would support her in the war. At least until they would need Kabuto. In addition to the white Zetsus, it would be advantageous to reawaken old shinobi and send them into battle. Through the Edo Tensei, the deceased received an incredible amount of chakra which would recharge again and again. The only way to defeat them was to seal them in a sigil or to kill the user of the jutu.

Kabuto was thus enlightened in the plan, with Madara being careful not to reveal anything that did not concern him. For Kabuto it was no problem not to know everything and only asked for some corpses, which he could use for the jutsu.

Likewise, he only needed to know where the fights would take place in order to send the appropriate shinobi there. The rest he would take care of as best he could.

As far as Rina knew, Kabuto would help them find Yamato. He had confirmed the wooden hideout and the cells of Hashirama. Whether he was up to something, Rina didn't know, but he didn't appear to be betraying the organization.

Better that way for him. The Uchiha would not hesitate to kill him, especially since he had also been in charge of Sasuke. His game of hide and seek as a genin had already come to an end.

As soon as Kabuto would say or do something wrong, Rina could no longer guarantee anything. It was almost a miracle that she didn't kill him now.

"I sent Kisame out a few days ago to capture all the Hachibi. So far I haven't heard anything more from him. Stand by Kabuto if he gives us any information.", Madara almost ordered as the meeting continued without Sasuke.

"Understood." Suck-up, Rina thought. He really was doing everything he could to survive. Good, she would do the same in his situation. Having Madara as an enemy wouldn't be good for her either.

"Apparently they plan to hide the bijuu from us." , Zetsu butted into the conversation when he showed up. "And where exactly?", Rina wanted to know from him which made Zetsu grin. "I don't knoooow." he dragged out the sentence again. Let someone figure him out.

Since Kabuto didn't want to know who Rina was anyway, she had been given permission to join in the conversation a bit. Kabuto wouldn't know what she sounded or looked like anyway.

She kept the mask on out of caution because of Sasuke. The latter could just burst into this room at any time. "Let's just wait for Kisame. I'm sure he has a plan." Kabuto said casually.

If he wasn't even right about that.
