"Madara…"

There was a hint of panic on Black Zetsu's face as it involuntarily took a step back and cautiously said, "I chose to deceive you because you are the strongest ninja, only you possess the ability to resurrect the Ten-Tails, and only you can save the ninja world…"

"I merely exploited your desire for peace in the ninja world…"

"What I said is true…"

"Now, everything I say is true!"

Black Zetsu could clearly feel Uchiha Madara's killing intent! Black Zetsu was well aware that Uchiha Madara, with his Rinnegan, might not be able to seal a powerful ninja, but he could definitely seal an entity like itself, which was created by Yin-Yang Release and had no significant power!

"Interesting…"

Uchiha Madara sneered.

"Do liars have their own reasons?"

Right now, Uchiha Madara was eager to kill Black Zetsu, who had deceived him, without delay!

"Madara, why not listen to what it has to say first?"

The voice of Akihara Kagura came again from Minato's mouth, seemingly persuading Uchiha Madara: "Although Black Zetsu fabricated other historical stories to conceal its identity as the dark will of the Sage of Six Paths, listening to the will of the Sage tell us some interesting stories can still be quite entertaining, can't it?"

"I am telling the truth!"

"This time, everything I say is true!"

Black Zetsu's voice was filled with pain and despair. This time, it was indeed telling the truth, though there were some slight differences!

"I still want to hear more."

Akihara Kagura chuckled, using Minato's body to transmit the sound: "I can only hope this story is more interesting than the real history recorded on the bark…"

"I am the one telling the truth!"

Black Zetsu felt as if its heart was twisting. It stared fixedly at Minato's body, shouting in agony: "The records on the bark are false, they are all false!"

"After Kaguya quelled the war, she gave birth to two children!"

"One of the children is named Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the father of Indra, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, and Asura, the ancestor of the Senju clan. The other child is named Otsutsuki Hamura, the ancestor of the Hyuga clan!"

"However, these two children couldn't understand Kaguya…"

"As I said before, Kaguya was inherently poor with words. They always believed their mother was harming the world, so they fought against her…"

"In the end…"

"Kaguya was sealed by her son Otsutsuki Hagoromo. When she was being sealed, she created me. I am indeed her will…"

Black Zetsu clenched its fist, staring intently at Uchiha Madara in front of it, hiding its intention to resurrect Otsutsuki Kaguya: "Before Kaguya was sealed, she believed she had no hope left and ordered me to help her resurrect the Ten-Tails… to give birth to a new Ten-Tails Jinchuriki in the ninja world…"

This was Black Zetsu's final defiance!

Because Black Zetsu still wanted to make an effort! After all, resurrecting Kaguya through the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki had never been done before; it wanted to try deceiving Uchiha Madara one last time…

Unfortunately.

Someone present didn't want to see it continue deceiving.

"The story is quite ordinary…"

Akihara Kagura's voice carried a hint of laughter, seemingly mocking and ridiculing: "Black Zetsu, your story doesn't seem very exciting. A creature that has lived for over a thousand years telling us it is to resurrect the Ten-Tails to resist foreign invaders, if it is to save the ninja world, why can't these things be said openly?"

Anyone could hear the mockery in Akihara Kagura's words!

However, Black Zetsu felt it was being greatly wronged. If it could cry, it could flood Konoha with its aggrieved tears!

But…

No one present seemed willing to believe its words anymore.

The chakra in Uchiha Madara's body grew stronger and stronger as he stepped closer to Black Zetsu. His fingers clenched one by one; he just wanted to personally eliminate this deceiving scoundrel!

"Madara…"

Black Zetsu looked at the approaching Uchiha with a touch of despair on its face: "This time, I really didn't lie to you, I will never deceive you again…"

"It doesn't matter."

Uchiha Madara spread his palm, coldly stating: "No matter what you say, I won't believe you anymore…"

"In fact, believing a little doesn't hurt…"

Akihara Kagura's voice sounded somewhat interested, speaking slowly: "I believe some of what Black Zetsu says is true, and of course, some of it is false…"

"Because I have a historical record of the Hyuga clan in my hand, it seems these records include what happens when one becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"!!!"

Black Zetsu looked despairingly at Minato's body.

Damn you!

This bastard had an ace up his sleeve!

Why didn't he say so earlier!

He had just attempted to deceive Uchiha Madara one last time, only to find out from Akihara Kagura that there was another set of historical records!

Damn it!

How many things are hidden in the ninja world!

He still didn't know who recorded the Senju clan's tree bark, Otsutsuki Hagoromo left a stele, and even Otsutsuki Hamura left something behind!

"Now..."

"Do you have any last words?"

The killing intent from Uchiha Madara seemed to freeze the air. Anyone could see how determined this man was to kill someone!

"..."

Right now, Black Zetsu didn't dare say anything.

Anything it said now would be wrong. It had to hide and wait for the next opportunity to deceive another Uchiha born in the future!

Anyway...

In the next thousand years...

There might be another chance!

"Save Black Zetsu!"

Akihara Kagura's voice suddenly appeared, and his laughter finally became normal: "Although Madara wants to kill it, Black Zetsu and I have the same thoughts..."

With Akihara Kagura's order, Tobirama and Minato simultaneously rushed towards Black Zetsu. Uchiha Madara leapt up and kicked them both away!

However...

This couldn't stop the two Flying Thunder God users from rescuing someone!

As Madara kicked them away, black rods condensed in his hand, intending to control Tobirama and Minato directly!

The two Flying Thunder God users instantly disappeared, avoiding the black rods of Yin-Yang Release, then reappeared, continuing to charge towards Black Zetsu!

Madara's eyes flashed, and the repulsive force of the Rinnegan exploded, sending Minato and Tobirama flying again!

"Black Zetsu, you can escape on your own now."

Akihara Kagura's voice came from Hashirama's body, calmly saying: "Come find me. I will tell you everything, and let you know the reasons behind all this. You have no other choice, right?"

"!!!"

Black Zetsu's body instantly burrowed into the ground.

Akihara Kagura was right...

It really had no other choice!

Although it didn't know why Akihara Kagura would save it, this was undoubtedly a godsend!

Most importantly, Black Zetsu also wanted to know some answers from Akihara Kagura, to understand the hidden secrets and dangers behind all this!

Only by resolving these unknown dangers...

Could it plan to resurrect Kaguya again in the future!

Madara looked at the fleeing Black Zetsu, instantly furious. A powerful chakra surged from him as he entered the Susanoo state!

A blue ninja sword suddenly stabbed into the ground!

However...

Black Zetsu had already disappeared using the Mayfly technique!

"Kagura, what are you planning to do?"

Jiraiya solemnly questioned his student: "You should know that guy has a huge conspiracy. Maybe it wants to dominate the entire ninja world, just like what's recorded in the Senju clan's tree bark..."

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Akihara Kagura's voice sounded somewhat innocent as he reminded Jiraiya: "Have you forgotten? I want to destroy the entire ninja world. What does this have to do with me?"

"..."

Jiraiya almost forgot.

His student's actions were far more extreme than Black Zetsu's!

Perhaps Black Zetsu just wanted to dominate the ninja world, but Akihara Kagura wanted to destroy it and recreate the ninjas!

"Akihara Kagura!"

Madara's eyes flashed, staring at his old friend Hashirama, knowing Akihara Kagura was observing through Hashirama's eyes!

"Give Black Zetsu to me!"

"Madara."

Akihara Kagura's voice indeed came from Hashirama's mouth, slowly saying: "Everything that happened today has only one purpose: to reveal Black Zetsu's true nature and separate it from you..."

"What are you saying!"

Madara's expression changed!

"Where should I start…"

Akihara Kagura spoke as he controlled the appearance of three Edo Tensei Hokage. His voice gradually became ethereal: "If I had to say, it was probably when Jiraiya-sensei went to investigate the Akatsuki."

"From that time…"

"I devised a plan…"

"That plan led to everything happening today."

"The mass deployment of Root ninja to hunt down Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito was merely a distraction to draw the attention of Obito and Black Zetsu."

"I took the opportunity to attack Nagato-senpai, under the pretext of using the Rinnegan and weapons of war to destroy the ninja world, forcing him to betray the Eye of the Moon Plan for the safety of the ninja world…"

"I never cared about Nagato-senpai's Rinnegan. My goal was to force him to betray the Eye of the Moon Plan…"

"Of course."

"The most important purpose…"

"Was undoubtedly to let you know that Nagato-senpai had betrayed the Eye of the Moon Plan."

"At that time… you would definitely want to reclaim Nagato-senpai's eyes… and Nagato-senpai's whereabouts were always under my control. I calculated that after resurrecting you with Edo Tensei, you and Black Zetsu would arrive in Konoha at the perfect time…"

"Then…"

"I needed to make you understand one more thing…"

"You, revived by Edo Tensei, could not escape my control. The pride of the Uchiha would inevitably drive you to break free from my grasp, and the collapse of the Eye of the Moon Plan would make you desperate for freedom!"

"So you would do everything possible to make Nagato-senpai use the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu to fully resurrect you…"

"Just in time…"

"Black Zetsu also wanted your complete resurrection."

"Everything was so well-coordinated. You, revived by Edo Tensei, finally achieved your goal, fully resurrected through the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu, regaining your body's freedom and acquiring the eyes from Nagato-senpai…"

"Then…"

"You obtained the bark."

At this point, Akihara Kagura's voice became somewhat gentle: "Very cleverly, this piece of bark appeared in my plan as well…"

"…"

Everyone looked in the direction of Yakushi Kabuto.

"…"

Yakushi Kabuto adjusted his glasses, feeling an inexplicable calm.

"Probably when I became the leader of the Root…"

When Akihara Kagura mentioned Yakushi Kabuto, there was a slight chuckle in his voice: "I announced to Yakushi Kabuto my plan to destroy the ninja world, but I knew he would never agree because he still cared deeply about protecting the Dean, protecting the Dean and the orphanage…"

"Of course."

"He had no way to expose me."

"Because he could not escape my control; the entire orphanage, including the Dean, was under Root's control. Yakushi Kabuto is a very smart person, so he knew that if he reported this to the Konoha higher-ups, he would end up being the only sacrificial pawn…"

"Because Konoha would never sacrifice me, the Wood Release genius…"

"However…"

"Yakushi Kabuto didn't choose to give up."

"Over the years, Yakushi Kabuto has always shown loyalty to me, even secretly collecting powerful Edo Tensei users, hoping to one day use them to stop me…"

When Akihara Kagura spoke of Yakushi Kabuto, he spared no effort in his mockery: "The sight of a small ant trying to protect its nest before the flood is quite amusing, so I made sure he also knew a secret…"

"The bark of the Senju Clan."

"The secret of the Senju Clan's bark was something I deliberately leaked, and I let him know that the Wood Release chakra could reveal the secret within the bark…"

"However…"

"Yakushi Kabuto never imagined."

"The true significance of this bark is at this very moment."

"Yakushi Kabuto is a smart person. He has been observing the situation in the village, and when he saw the Edo Tensei ninja fighting in Konoha, he realized that my plan had started, so he immediately handed the bark to Lady Tsunade, hoping she could find a way to thwart my plan through the bark…"

"Unfortunately."

"From the moment he saw the bark, its purpose was to pass through his hands step by step until it reached the final person's hand…"

"That person…"

"Is… me."

Uchiha Madara added the answer with a sinister tone.

Dun! Dun!
