Chapter 146 - Black Zetsu: I am my brother's son?

Madara felt his scalp tingle for the first time.

Over the years, he had hidden in the darkness, creating various incidents. After his death, he sent Obito to do many things for him.

Even with his current premature resurrection, Madara believed that everything was under his control.

But...

It seemed everything was different now.

This junior named Satoshi had actually discovered so much information.

After a brief moment of distraction, Madara squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. "Why should I believe you?"

Satoshi said, "The evidence is in Konoha."

"In the center of the courtyard of the Second Hokage's former residence, deep underground, another stone tablet is buried. That is the unaltered Stone of Truth belonging to the Senju ckan, passed down from the lineage of the Sage of Six Paths's second son, Asura."

"If you're interested, perhaps we can sit down and look at it together."

That's right, this stone tablet was created by Satoshi, modeled after the Uchiha's.

Perhaps it would be difficult for ordinary people. But in front of a Ninja World Scientist, it was as easy as drinking water.

Madara's pupils constricted violently, and he stared intently at Satoshi. "How do you know these things?"

Satoshi shrugged and said, "It all comes down to Tobirama-sama, who discovered this lost stone tablet in his later years."

"Unfortunately, he couldn't fully read its contents, and the Great Ninja War broke out very suddenly."

"He had no choice but to bury it first and deal with it after the war, but he never returned."

Hearing this, Madara, who was half-believing and half-doubting, now believed seventy to eighty percent.

That's right, he hated the guy who killed his younger brother Izuna. But he would never deny Tobirama's wisdom.

"Continue."

Satoshi sat down and began to earnestly brag.

"The Sage of Six Paths had high hopes for his three children. In order to choose the true successor, he set up a series of tests."

"Unexpectedly, Black Zetsu performed exceptionally well in the tests, surpassing his two elder brothers. He was meticulous, efficient in his methods, and always achieved his goals with the least cost."

Satoshi's tone shifted, becoming heavy. "However, the Sage of Six Paths perceived that deep within Black Zetsu's heart, there lurked an absolute desire for power and a twisted understanding of love. His way of solving problems was too ruthless. The Sage of Six Paths believed that if he inherited Ninshu, the world would ultimately be led down a dark path filled with control and oppression."

"Thus, after immense pain and struggle, the Sage of Six Paths ultimately chose his seemingly dull second son, Asura, who possessed a heart of universal love, as his successor."

"However, this ignited Black Zetsu's fury. He believed his father had denied his entire being, which caused him to lose his sanity."

"One night, consumed by jealousy and madness, Black Zetsu climbed the God tree, which still had residual energy, and forcibly stripped its power, using himself as a vessel."

"Black Zetsu, fused with the forbidden power, went insane and unleashed an incomplete Infinite Tsukuyomi, attempting to turn the entire world into his nutrient pond."

"The Sage of Six Paths was heartbroken. To resolve this calamity, he combined the power of his two sons and engaged in a fierce battle with Black Zetsu."

"Ultimately, only by combining the full power of the three of them was Black Zetsu's true body, which had transformed into a God tree monster, sealed within the core of the distant moon."

"However, Black Zetsu was extremely cunning. Before the final battle, he had anticipated possible failure. He had split off a portion of his will beforehand and hidden it in an unknown corner."

"Time slowly passed, and when the Sage of Six Paths left this world, he began his grand resurrection plan."

"The key to resurrecting his main body sealed on the moon was to re-aggregate the fundamental power of the God tree. That is, the Chakra of the nine Tailed Beasts scattered throughout the world, re-condensed into Ten-Tails."

"Only by gathering the power of Ten-Tails could he break the moon's seal and fully resurrect. Then, once again rule the Ninja World."

Satoshi stopped, observing Madara's reaction.

This once arrogant hegemon was trying his best to maintain composure on the surface. But his violently constricting and expanding pupils betrayed the tumultuous waves raging within him.

He seemed to be listening, yet also seemed immersed in the storm of his overturned perceptions.

Satoshi continued, "Of course, before his death, the Sage of Six Paths also left a contingency plan. He left Black Zetsu's message on a stone tablet to prevent any unforeseen events after his death."

"One was placed beneath the Uchiha Shrine, guarded by the descendants of his eldest son, Indra, hoping to discern the truth through the power of the Sharingan."

"And the other was entrusted to the descendants of his second son, Asura, deeply hidden beneath the Senju clan's territory as a final insurance."

"The lurking Black Zetsu discovered the Uchiha stone tablet. He spent a great deal of time altering the contents of the stone tablet."

"But he didn't expect that his old man was ultimately one step ahead."

"The Sage of Six Paths foresaw the possibility of alteration, so on the stone tablet left for Asura's descendants, he not only recorded the complete truth but also left a special Seal of True Sight. Even Black Zetsu could not alter its contents."

"So, Madara, do you understand?"

"From the moment you first deciphered that altered stone tablet beneath the Naka Shrine, from the moment you firmly believed that Infinite Tsukuyomi was the path to salvation, you had already become a crucial chess piece for Black Zetsu to resurrect his world-destroying main body. A chess piece he had meticulously guided and manipulated for decades without realizing it."

Deep underground, Black Zetsu, who had been listening in, was stunned.

What did that inherently evil, despicable, and nonsensical white-haired Uchiha brat just say?

I became the Sage of Six Paths's son?

I think I'm his brother, right?

No, that's not the point.

The point is, Satoshi's story made too much sense, so much so that he almost believed it himself.

What kind of bullshit history is this?

Can't he follow basic laws when bragging?

The most outrageous part was that this half-true, half-false story made it impossible for him to refute.

Satoshi's storytelling skills were actually very poor, with many obvious flaws.

But what about it?

There was no one in the Ninja World who could stand up and prove the truth or falsity of these stories now.

Even if an old senior stood up, how could you prove what you said was true?

Would Black Zetsu jump out and explain himself?

Saying he's lying, I'm not Hagoromo's son at all, I'm his brother.

The Eye of the Moon Plan was designed by me to resurrect my mother Kaguya.

Isn't that self-destruction?

Black Zetsu had always claimed to be Madara's will.

How could a creature that had only existed for a few decades know the truth or falsity of things from a thousand years ago?

But if it didn't come out, that idiot Madara might really believe it.

According to Black Zetsu's understanding of Satoshi, he might have really prepared another stone tablet.

After all, the Sage of Six Paths left a stone tablet for the Uchiha, so why couldn't he leave another for the Senju?

Black Zetsu thought it sounded very reasonable.

But in that case, Madara would definitely doubt the truth of the contents on the Uchiha stone tablet.

What should it do to make Madara believe that the Uchiha stone tablet was correct?

Say it had lived for thousands of years and had never heard of this thing?

Wouldn't that just lead back to the first problem?

He absolutely dared not stand out and say, I am the person involved, this white-haired brat is just bragging.

Once Madara heard that, and realized he had been played for decades, the Eye of the Moon Plan 4.0 would be ruined.
