Chapter 223 » Madara Believes Black Zetsu's Deception!
"Besides, Madara, didn't you previously doubt that he was the mastermind? So let me ask you — if Black Zetsu is truly your subordinate or your manifestation, can you summon it now? Or rather, can you use your unique method to summon it here? If you cannot, then everything I said is proven true."
At this moment, Yusuke turned his gaze toward the Uchiha before him.
When Madara heard his words, his expression changed slightly.
Then he said in a low voice, "I didn't believe it at first. But I've been pondering what you said. Half an hour ago, I tried various methods to summon Black Zetsu, but that fellow seems to deliberately avoid my attempts at communication. Even now, I cannot reach him. What you said earlier must be true. I'm just curious — why isn't Black Zetsu under my control? And how could he orchestrate such long-term plans?"
At this point, Madara had no choice but to believe Yusuke's words.
He had been trying to communicate with Black Zetsu for some time. Though it could receive every command he sent, the creature simply wouldn't respond.
Though able to receive and acknowledge his commands, it remained silent...
The conclusion was obvious: Yusuke's words were true.
And so, Madara fully accepted everything he had said.
"I know you're curious. I can tell you clearly that everything I say reveals the truth of the human world. And if you doubt me, when I'm in a good mood, I can summon the Sage of Six Paths. Then you can ask him yourself."
"But let's set that aside for now. Let's discuss why the Sage of Six Paths made such a grave mistake back then."
"After he joined with a woman from the human world, he had two sons: Indra and Asura Ōtsutsuki. These two became the Sage's children and perfectly inherited his power."
"However, there was one unfortunate thing: Indra, being the elder brother, possessed the Sage's ocular powers and all of his Yin-natured chakra. His younger brother Asura, though cheerful in personality, didn't inherit his father's power directly. Yet his body contained extremely powerful Yang-natured chakra — a strength he hadn't yet discovered. Instead, he simply lived each day in happiness."
"During this time, Hagoromo had established his ninja world and sect within his territory. He began distributing his chakra throughout the world, and once this was complete, he established the first ninja training system, called Ninshū."
"But then he discovered a problem: despite sharing his chakra, people couldn't properly utilize it. The chakra couldn't be transformed into the power it was meant to be."
"This deeply troubled Hagoromo. As the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya's direct son, he never had to worry about controlling his own chakra."
"Ordinary people faced a different challenge. Their unique physical condition meant they couldn't release chakra normally. Even after cultivating it, they had no way to release it! This left them only slightly stronger than normal people, with few other benefits."
"The Sage of Six Paths struggled with this dilemma, as they lacked the complex hand seals we use today. But then came an unexpected breakthrough."
"His son Indra, being a true genius, discovered that specific hand movements could control the chakra within his body. The implications were clear."
"It was him who invented Ninjutsu — the system of using hand seals to release chakra!"
"When he revealed this method, everyone was astounded. They never imagined such a technique could exist to release their internal chakra. Indra's popularity grew rapidly, and followers began gathering around him."
"But it was then that things began to spiral out of control."

T/N: An important announcement! This book is on hiatus on Patreon!
Only available up to Chapter 234 because I can't understand a shit of what's happening anymore. It has become really difficult to translate this book because the author is simply banging their head on the keyboard and praying to some Chinese god to fix the words.
So when this book reaches Chapter 230 here on Webnovel, I will also announce a temporary hiatus.
I hope you enjoy and have a good read! (-‿◦)
