Chapter 220

Hashirama Senju finally nodded in satisfaction.

This black, grimy thing,

talks far too much,

so I activated my Rinnegan myself,

and shrank his body.

【Jiraiya: So there are still so many secrets in this ninja world—first the Sage of Six Paths appears, then his brother on the moon… and now another brother of the Sage of Six Paths shows up.】

【Orochimaru: But this creature called Black Zetsu, he certainly has no good intentions—he came here specifically to use the First Hokage's power to break the seal.】

【Tobirama Senju: What a pity—he's dealing with a brother who doesn't listen to a word he says… If I were this brother, I might actually fall for his lies.】

【Hashirama Senju: Tobirama! There are so many people here listening to you—show me a little respect! Am I really that Bai Chi?!】

【Madara Uchiha: Though I dislike Tobirama Senju… Hashirama, if it were you, you really might believe him!!】

【Fourth Raikage: Don't you all feel that every enemy we've encountered since the beginning has some unclear connection to the Sage of Six Paths?】

【Oonoki: After hearing what this Black Zetsu said, I'm even more convinced that the entire ninja world's history is just the family chronicle of the Sage of Six Paths…】

【Kirigakure no Mei: If the Sage of Six Paths and his mother had communicated well, and if he'd also communicated properly with his sons, would there be so much war in the ninja world today?】

【Tsunade: Thank goodness this grandfather's strength is immense and his mind is firm—most people couldn't resist the temptation Black Zetsu spoke of, and he knows far too many secrets!】

…

Inside the cave,

seeing the words spoken by Black Zetsu on the black screen,

Obito Uchiha was struck as if by lightning!!

He gritted his teeth word by word, snarling with a twisted face.

"Black Zetsu!! How dare you deceive me?!!"

"So everything you said was a lie!!"

"The Eye of the Moon plan never existed—this was all your conspiracy!!"

If he still didn't understand now,

he might as well have wasted all these years learning from Madara Uchiha,

and wasted all these years in the Akatsuki!!

This was clearly Black Zetsu's solo scheme!!

Both he and Madara were deceived by Black Zetsu!!

They all believed that,

Black Zetsu was a creature created by Madara Uchiha,

his very will incarnate!!

But in reality,

Black Zetsu has existed far longer than both of them combined!!

Since the era of the Sage of Six Paths,

Black Zetsu was already born,

and everything he has done

was merely to unseal his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki!!!

Thinking of this,

Obito Uchiha felt an overwhelming surge of rage deep within,

he felt everything he had done these past years was laughable,

that he had been played like a monkey!!

"Obito! Listen to me first!"

"It's not as you imagine."

"I had my own unavoidable reasons—I deceived you and Madara."

"But you must believe the Eye of the Moon plan is real—I share the same goal as you!"

Black Zetsu himself never expected that,

in another world, his counterpart, upon seeing Hashirama Senju,

blurted out every single thing he knew!!

If it had only affected himself,

Black Zetsu wouldn't have cared!!

But the critical point is that the intelligence he exposed also harmed himself,

making it impossible for his plan in this world to continue.

"Black Zetsu! I won't deal with you now!"

"After this live-streaming system ends, I'll make you account for every detail."

"I hope you think carefully about how to explain yourself!!"

Obito Uchiha gave Black Zetsu a cold glance.

Black Zetsu had no doubt that,

if not for the live-stream comparison system,

Obito Uchiha would have attacked him right now!!

His guess was correct—

Obito Uchiha now completely disbelieves anything Black Zetsu says,

Creatures that have lived since ancient times

could never merely be helping me complete the Moon Eye Plan!!

It's not even that they're using the Moon Eye Plan to help save their own mother!!

Even the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, had to join forces with others

to seal away his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki,

so you can imagine

how immense the power of their mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, truly was!

To become the jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails

and suppress the Ten-Tails—

just think about it,

Obito Uchiha knew how immense that power was,

and if such a being were ever released,

how could there be any room for him to speak?

He'd merely be sewing garments for someone else's glory!

Then he recalled the stone tablet of his Uchiha clan—the inscriptions!

Obito Uchiha now even suspected the tablet's contents had been altered by Black Zetsu!

112. Request for Aid from the Land of Ghosts! The First Shrine Maiden's Shock!

As for whether the things Black Zetsu claimed were true or false,

Hashirama Senju had no interest in investigating.

But Black Zetsu's attitude—coming here to exploit his labor—

filled Hashirama Senju with deep dissatisfaction!!

When the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, appeared,

at least he granted Hashirama Senju entry into the Six Paths realm

and bestowed upon him a pair of Rinnegan.

But Black Zetsu appeared and gave nothing—

he only asked Hashirama Senju to free Kaguya Otsutsuki from her seal.

Watching Black Zetsu jump and shout on his palm,

Hashirama Senju stroked his chin,

Hashirama Senju stroked his chin,
