There is a possibility that Zetsu infiltrated the Uzushio Village when Reiji first activated a large-scale Fuinjutsu to protect the village.
This Zetsu had just awakened from an underwater cave that had been previously discovered.
The cave, located far beneath the sea's surface, holds more secrets than it appears.
Although this possibility is not very high, there remains a chance that this Zetsu is a greater threat than they suspect.
If this Zetsu was indeed sent by Madara, it is likely that Madara will launch some attacks or take actions against the Uzumaki Clan, or perhaps have other plans.
However, up to this point, Madara has not shown any clear signs of action, which only adds to Reiji's confusion.
This opens up the possibility that the Zetsu Reiji first encountered is not the Zetsu sent by Madara.
Instead, it could just be a foolish Zetsu that accidentally infiltrated the Uzumaki Clan after emerging from the cocoon inside the underwater cave.
If this is indeed what Reiji thinks, then he can breathe a sigh of relief as he does not have to worry about being attacked by Madara.
However, this only adds a new problem.
Reiji still feels doubtful and uncertain about the underwater cave, which holds many mysteries yet to be uncovered.
"Tens of thousands of years?" Keito was surprised and began to think hard.
This made Keito start considering various possibilities that he had never thought of before.
Keito did not know if the underwater cave was created by members of the Uzumaki Clan in the past, but if it wasn't them, then Keito was truly confused about who could create the Fuinjutsu that Reiji described as very complex.
Even so, the Fuinjutsu was quite similar to what the Uzumaki Clan usually used.
In fact, Reiji only needed a few hours to analyze the Fuinjutsu, a relatively short time for something so complex.
Moreover, the Fuinjutsu was old enough that Reiji could release it quite easily.
This truly made Keito even more confused and curious, questioning everything that might be hidden behind the cave.
"So, Uncle Keito, what do you think we should do about the underwater cave?" Reiji asked seriously.
"I don't know if the place is dangerous or not, but if it isn't, we still need to proceed with caution."
"If not, something bad could happen."
Keito nodded his head, a sign of agreement with the decision made.
"I understand..." Keito replied firmly.
"For now, let's leave this matter aside."
"Especially if the place truly holds very ancient Fuinjutsu, we must be careful."
"Unexpected things could happen."
"So, let's focus on other matters for now, but we will continue to monitor and keep an eye on the underwater cave carefully."
"Understood." Reiji nodded his head in agreement.
That decision felt wise, even though Reiji still felt anxious inside.
Reiji did not want to get too involved with the Zetsu and Madara.
Although Reiji often claimed that he could fight against Jinchuriki and Tailed Beasts, he still had doubts about facing Madara.
Madara's power far exceeded what Reiji could imagine, and that feeling of caution continued to disturb Reiji's thoughts.
Especially since Madara was still relatively young, not as old and frail as when he met Obito.
Madara's intact and ambitious power made Reiji even more reluctant to confront him.
That was one of the reasons why Reiji chose to avoid direct confrontation with Madara, at least for now.
