That was why prophecies were utterly unreliable, especially those from half-baked sages like the White Snake Sage and the Toad Sage!
If Black Zetsu knew the White Snake Sage thought all his scheming was aimed at resurrecting Uchiha Madara, he would probably have laughed aloud.
Was resurrecting Uchiha Madara really what he wanted?
He simply thought Uchiha Madara was the best vessel for resurrecting his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki. Bringing Uchiha Madara back wasn't important. Bringing Kaguya Otsutsuki back was Black Zetsu's lifelong dream!
"Let's work together, Yakushi Kabuto!"
"You possess the greatest talent in the entire Shinobi World. Whatever you intend to do, you'll need some companions, won't you?"
Black Zetsu had sensed the White Snake Sage's gaze too, of course, but so what? She could come and kill him if she had the ability. As a creation of Yin-Yang Release, he had survived even Uchiha Chisen's Flames of Judgment. Black Zetsu was brimming with confidence now!
He was certain that not a single person or Ninja Beast in the entire Shinobi World could truly kill him, unless they also wielded Yin-Yang Release!
"Black Zetsu, White Zetsu-"
"Members of the Akatsuki Organization!"
Yakushi Kabuto was no stranger to Black Zetsu and White Zetsu. He had served under Orochimaru and Sasori. If nothing else, he was well-informed; he had even tagged along to meetings of the Akatsuki Organization.
"So, after Lord Orochimaru, your Akatsuki Organization is planning to recruit me?"
Yakushi Kabuto's gaze flickered. He was quite familiar with the Akatsuki Organization, but he couldn't immediately see why he should work with them.
"No, no, no. You wouldn't be working with the Akatsuki Organization. You'd be working with me!"
"Or rather, with Uchiha Madara-Lord Madara!"
Black Zetsu chuckled sinisterly. He could already tell that this Yakushi Kabuto fellow had ambition. He
