Chapter 458

"Am I really doomed to spend my whole life in this damn cage?"

He glanced around at his surroundings,

A deep despair darkened Black Zetsu's face,

He had no idea how he could ever change his fate!!

And if he remained trapped in this cage forever,

He feared that even if he could never rescue his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki,

Over time,

Being used as a test subject by Nara Katsuyuki,

He might eventually go mad!!

Thinking of that terrifying woman, Nara Katsuyuki,

Black Zetsu felt his scalp crawl!!

The experiments Nara Katsuyuki had performed on him before,

Had no humanity whatsoever,

She treated him not as a person at all!!

Black Zetsu's only plan now was to resist with all his might!!

He did not want to be locked in this cage for life,

But right now he could think of no way

To escape from here?!

【Jiraiya: Heh heh… this black lump still doesn't understand his situation—he actually thinks he can escape Hashirama Senju's grasp…】

【Orochimaru: Those hidden figures lurking behind the ninja world are terrifying; no one knows when they'll spring out from some corner—they hold too many secrets and too much power…】

【Tobirama Senju: Hmph… in the end, these creatures have deep ties to the evil Uchiha clan—they are the very origin of the Uchiha, and perhaps the Uchiha's evil genes were inherited from them…】

【Madara Uchiha: Treacherous Tobirama Senju—you're weak yourself, yet you always scheme from behind the scenes, and now you slander our Uchiha clan!!!】

【Raikage: But in some ways, this Black Zetsu is truly terrifying—he's been subjected to Nara Katsuyuki's experiments for so long, yet he's unharmed…】

【Oonoki: This being called Black Zetsu… his body seems made of some special material… I can't tell what it is, but it's clearly extraordinary—nothing can easily destroy his body.】

【Koharu: Heh… even if his body is strong, what does it matter? He's still in Hashirama Senju's hands, still forced to be a test subject?!】

…

Inside the cave,

Obito Uchiha glanced at Black Zetsu with cruel amusement.

The more tragic Black Zetsu's fate appeared in the livestream,

The happier and more triumphant he became!!

He now deeply hated his former feelings,

He had always believed he was the savior of this world,

That he possessed the strongest power and the greatest secrets!!

But in an instant,

Black Zetsu told him,

That he was nothing but a pitiful wretch!!

Everything he had was manipulated by Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu,

This filled Obito Uchiha with bitter resentment toward his own fate!!

Now that Black Zetsu had become this,

He finally had a chance to mock him,

As long as he could mock Black Zetsu,

For Obito Uchiha,

He would give it his all!!

And as Black Zetsu watched his own pitiful image on the screen,

His expression grew dark and grim!!

Because his livestreamed self was too humiliating,

Especially now that the entire ninja world,

Even Obito Uchiha beside him, had seen this scene,

Though Black Zetsu himself possessed no great power,

He had no particularly strong abilities,

Yet his inner pride was immense!!

Because he believed he alone controlled the fate of the ninja world,

He had endured in silence for so many years!!

Even Ashura Senju of the Senju clan and Indra Uchiha of the Uchiha clan had become his pawns,

The entire ninja world's destiny had turned under his hands,

Yet now, locked in this cage, he was nothing like that!!

This state of his was too humiliating,

It struck Black Zetsu's fragile pride with crushing force!!

…

The Akatsuki,

Uzumaki Nagato saw the look on Black Zetsu,

and slowly furrowed his brow as well.

He clearly remembered,

this existence called Black Zetsu,

he had always assumed was nothing more than Madara Uchiha's lackey!!

But now it seemed that wasn't the case at all,

this fellow called Black Zetsu,

his life and origins were far more complicated than any of them had imagined!!

This fellow really did appear to be the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's own blood brother!!

But Uzumaki Nagato was also quite puzzled,

why the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's own blood brother looked so dark and sinister,

and his strength didn't seem the least bit impressive,

always skulking behind the scenes carrying out some schemes and plots,

not a shred of a strong man's bearing to be seen!!

But for one who had lived so long,

someone who had survived all the way from the ancient era to the present,

Uzumaki Nagato was also quite wary,

after all, these people had truly lived an enormous number of years.

They knew far more of this world's secrets than he did,

and no one knew what they had been enduring and plotting in the shadows all this time,

one careless step and he could easily become a pawn in their hands, used by them,

just like the fate he had been born with in the very beginning!!!.

226. Otsutsuki Isshiki awakens, once again urging Otsutsuki Urashiki!

The scene shifts!!

At this moment the scene returned once more to Otsutsuki Urashiki and Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

Looking at Kaguya Otsutsuki,

sealed away and utterly powerless to resist,

the sneer on Otsutsuki Urashiki's face grew ever thicker!!
