"This way, there won't be any hindrances." Lexon put the Nichirin Sword back into his space ring and spoke to the contemplating Black Zetsu.
Lexon's action was to cut off White Zetsu's involvement.
Although Zetsu was divided into black and white parts and existed as one body, White Zetsu and Black Zetsu had completely different consciousnesses.
White Zetsu was actually a demonic creature transformed from humans who had once fallen into the Infinite Tsukuyomi, while Black Zetsu was the child born of Kaguya Otsutsuki.
White Zetsu did not know Black Zetsu's background and stood on Uchiha Madara's side. Black Zetsu's stance, however, was with Kaguya Otsutsuki. To unseal his mother, he had worked tirelessly for thousands of years, deceiving even Uchiha Madara.
At the same time, the strength of the two could not be generalized.
White Zetsu was trash, but Black Zetsu was not necessarily so.
"Uchiha Lexon... where did your Rinnegan come from?" Black Zetsu asked Lexon doubtfully.
He ignored the slain White Zetsu; after all, that fool meant nothing to him. He could just extract another one from the Gedo Statue.
"Doesn't the Sharingan evolve into the Rinnegan? Isn't that how Uchiha Madara got his Rinnegan..." Lexon replied.
The moment he heard Lexon's words, doubts arose in Black Zetsu's heart.
Uchiha Lexon... why does he know so much?
"Who are you?" Black Zetsu asked in a deep voice.
"Who else could I be? A descendant of the Uchiha clan..." Lexon waved his hand and said. He intended to carry this setting through to the end.
Playing dumb, huh...
Black Zetsu thought to himself.
"Since you are a member of the Uchiha clan, you should have seen the stone tablet in your clan's grounds, right?"
He wanted to steer the topic to the "Infinite Tsukuyomi" and try to fit Lexon, this unexpected variable, into his scheme.
But he didn't expect...
"You mean the stone tablet that was altered by you? I've seen it. What about it?" Lexon said very freely.
"..." Black Zetsu remained calm on the surface, but stormy waves surged in his heart.
Why does he know so much???
Black Zetsu faintly felt that there was a mastermind behind him...
Someone who had created this person, Uchiha Lexon!
If Uchiha Lexon told Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara everything... wouldn't his thousands of years of effort be in vain?
Someone wants to stop me from unsealing Mother! There must be! Someone wants to harm us, mother and son!!
Thoughts raced through Black Zetsu's mind as he considered many possibilities.
"Let's make a deal. You help me get to the moon, and I'll help you unseal Kaguya," Lexon looked at Black Zetsu and spoke again.
Why does he know my mother is on the moon? Why does he know Mother's name? Why does he know Mother is sealed?
Black Zetsu was startled, and numerous questions surfaced in his mind again.
Wait! What did he say?
Help me unseal Mother?
"Is what you say true or false?" Black Zetsu's voice was exceptionally low.
He actually wanted to kill Lexon right there, but he wasn't fully confident.
Standing in front of Uchiha Lexon, the sensations transmitted from his body to his brain spoke of the opponent's troublesomeness and terror.
Moreover, he wasn't the type skilled in combat...
"Instead of doubting so much, why not trust me?" Lexon said with a smile. "I know so much, yet I haven't hindered or exposed your plans. Isn't that good proof?"
Black Zetsu stared at Lexon for a long time before speaking: "Hold this while you speak."
As he spoke, he shot out a black rod condensed from Yin-Yang Release from his hand.
"I will confirm if what you say is true or false."
An alternative lie detector, huh.
Lexon thought, then grabbed the rod without hesitation and said kindly, "I truly want to unseal Kaguya Otsutsuki's seal."
Black Zetsu closed his eyes for a moment, seeming to probe the truthfulness of Lexon's words.
After a while, he opened his eyes and retracted his black rod.
"What I said was true, right?" Lexon said.
"No problems." Black Zetsu confirmed that Lexon's words were completely sincere, without a shred of falsehood.
The result was naturally so because Lexon really did want to unseal Kaguya Otsutsuki, then treat her like a piglet and squeeze her dry for sign-ins.
Of course, he was very sincere, without a single lie.
But Black Zetsu basically believed Lexon.
In the eyes of Black Zetsu, the number one filial son in the Naruto world, as long as one genuinely wanted to release his mother's seal, there was no problem.
Of course, he didn't think Uchiha Lexon was completely without ulterior motives; unsealing Mother definitely came with some purpose.
But!
Mother is invincible!
Once Mother is unsealed, everything else will be delusional! Everything will be under Mother's control!
Black Zetsu was just that confident in Kaguya.
"When Mother escapes her predicament, I will put in a good word and give you a chance to pledge your loyalty to Mother." The moment Black Zetsu felt he found a comrade, he immediately painted a "big picture" for him.
"Thanks a lot then," Lexon replied perfunctorily, not interested at all.
"So, what is your purpose in going to the moon?" Black Zetsu asked Lexon.
"Hamura Otsutsuki's descendants." To be precise, Lexon's goal was the "Giant Tenseigan" inherited by Hamura's descendants.
"Do you want to exterminate that group of Hamura's descendants? That would be wonderful... Those guys have always hindered me from going to the moon to communicate with Mother..." Black Zetsu seemed to misunderstand something and spoke indignantly, feeling "deep empathy."
As a filial son who loved his mother deeply, Black Zetsu hated Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki, the two ungrateful white-eyed wolf brothers who sealed their own mother, immensely.
"But those descendants of Hamura are very strong... and they have a terrifying item... I think with your current strength, it's better to..." Black Zetsu advised.
The "Giant Tenseigan" held by Hamura's descendants on the moon was a terrifying item capable of unleashing Six Paths level power. In Black Zetsu's view, even if Uchiha Lexon was strong, he would still be sending himself to his death.
After all, in his thousands of years of lurking, a Six Paths level existence hadn't appeared for hundreds of years, so he didn't believe the current Ninja World had such combat power, nor did he think Uchiha Lexon possessed such power.
"It's fine. Just tell me the location. Even if I just go up to the moon to harass them, weakening their combat power is still weakening them," Lexon said leisurely.
Black Zetsu seemed to think what he said made sense. Out of the camaraderie of saving his mother and the thought that the trouble wouldn't be his anyway, Black Zetsu told Lexon the location.
"Alright, thank you." Lexon suddenly felt that this filial son of Naruto became pleasing to the eye.
For the sake of your cooperation, after I capture your mother and treat her like a piglet, I might let you see her occasionally.
An inexplicable smile appeared on Lexon's face.
