Chapter 820

"I've met a few members of the Uchiha clan. Maybe what you're saying, I might know something about it. Whose corpse are you looking for?"

Uchiha Madara felt he was quite conflicted. He couldn't acknowledge his own identity, otherwise he might not even be able to pry information out of this somewhat dim-witted fellow.

"It's the one called Uchiha Izuna. I heard Senju Tobirama mention him before, so I wanted to find a companion to confirm whether he was the reincarnated deity from back then. But that guy hid himself too well."

Lin Cheng, in a foul mood, simply closed his eyes, not wanting to look at Uchiha Madara's expression.

Now that he had successfully drawn Uchiha Madara's attention over, how things would develop from here depended on this guy's reaction.

His younger brother might be a reincarnated deity—this piece of news was enough to shock and trouble him, wasn't it?

Moreover, Tobirama had gone to the human world; this news should also carry considerable weight.

"You're searching for the reincarnation of a deity—what are you trying to do? Has something happened in the Shinobi World?"

To avoid arousing suspicion, Uchiha Madara decided to first ask about some topics unrelated to these people's names as a starting point.

He and Hashirama were once called legends of the Shinobi World, and in some places they were called the Gods of the Shinobi World. But deities—

Do things like that really exist?

"Yes, there's a tremendous conspiracy that I uncovered. This has to start from a thousand years ago. Back then, the Shinobi World wasn't yet the Shinobi World. In those days there were deities, shrine maidens, warriors, and monks."

Lin Cheng lay on the ground, eyes closed, and slowly began recounting some of the information he had obtained from the Death God, along with parts he had supplemented himself.

The Otsutsuki discovered this world was very powerful, so after descending they seized its power, while simultaneously altering the source of that power. Afterwards the deities reincarnated, while the Otsutsuki clan continued to leave behind power to reshape this world, and at the same time sought to erase all reincarnations of the deities.

After saying a great deal, he suddenly brought up Uchiha Madara again.

"That guy called Uchiha Madara is really too stupid. Otsutsuki Kaguya's little son toyed with him. If I hadn't seen some things in the future, I really wouldn't have known that this fellow the Shinobi World called a god actually had such a nimble mind 〃〃."

When speaking of Uchiha Madara, Lin Cheng directly explained how Black Zetsu had drawn out Indra and Ashura's fratricidal conflict, and then had Uchiha Madara used as a pawn, sharing some of it.

All of this was him naturally following the story's trajectory as he told it, and then expressing the sentiments these events provoked.

Even if it was Uchiha Madara himself, he felt Lin Cheng was deliberately cursing him, yet he couldn't stand up at this moment and say he was that stupid person being cursed.

"So you want to bring the deity back to life? Want to go find Uchiha Izuna and have him checked—if it's not him, then what?"

Finally, after waiting for Lin Cheng to finish speaking—and to finish his complaints as well—Uchiha Madara at last found the chance to bring up what he cared about more.

Of what Lin Cheng had said earlier, he could only believe part of it. As for that fellow Black Zetsu, now that he thought carefully, there were indeed certain points of doubt. But why this person wanted to tell him so much, he still greatly suspected.

But suspicion was one thing; being able to obtain more information was what mattered most.

"If it's not him, then just leave him there. He's been revived anyway, and one more companion is just right—I couldn't possibly send the revived one back again."

That Death God fellow probably had even less interest in caring about a few people's souls. Lin Cheng let out a somewhat casual sigh. The way Lin Cheng spoke of reviving people being so simple did make Uchiha Madara believe him just a little more—after all, he could go to the Pure Land.

"I've been dead for many years. When I was alive I met Uchiha Izuna, and of course I met his older brother too. Since you've come back from the future, have you met that Uchiha Madara who was treated like a fool?"

Sitting on the ground, Uchiha Madara suddenly thought of a loophole in this fellow's words.

If he knew Uchiha Madara had been deceived, then how could he not recognize him?

At this moment, Uchiha Madara, his elbows propped on his knees and his palm cupping his cheek, very much wanted to know how this fellow would answer his question.

They say he was quite handsome when young. Too bad when I went, he had already been done in by Black Zetsu—apart from those Rinnegan, all that was left was a sphere.

Lin Cheng, his arm pillowing the back of his head, opened his eyes and glanced at Uchiha Madara's expression, then delivered a result this fellow would find hard to accept.

A sphere, with a pair of Rinnegan on top—enough to make this fellow uncomfortable.

But what he said was no lie—after all, in the original plot, in the end he really did leave.

"—(Well, Zhao) From what you're saying, that guy really was stupid enough. But when I saw him, he had the Sharingan. Are you sure the Rinnegan you saw belonged to that guy?"

Uchiha Madara had now been led down a strange line of thinking, and when speaking of himself, he wasn't being very polite.

But this matter of the Rinnegan, apart from Black Zetsu, seemed to be known by no one. Perhaps Black Zetsu would tell Obito some things after his death, but Obito couldn't possibly know too many things about the past.

So now he was even more interested in this fellow—whether he was real or fake, or what conspiracy lay behind this person's appearance.

"Hashirama and the others confirmed it, so it definitely can't be false."
