"Lord Black Zetsu, how should we maintain the Shinobi World from here on?"
Black Zetsu was already rapidly formulating plans in his mind as he answered aloud:
"The Shinobi World has just gone through another major war."
"This time, Konoha of the Land of Fire annexed Sunagakure of the Land of Wind. The war has only just ended."
When Toneri heard that such conflict had erupted in the Shinobi World again, he frowned as well.
For hundreds and thousands of years on the moon, he had watched the people of the Shinobi World treat Chakra as a weapon.
Toneri's clan believed that those who started wars were the culprits behind the destruction of the world's peace and order.
Naturally, they loathed such people deeply.
"Then I'll eliminate them!"
There was a sense of responsibility in Toneri's voice.
Years of education had shaped his values this way.
Although Black Zetsu rejected him at this moment, his words were polished.
"No, Toneri. You are the core of maintaining the Shinobi World, and you hold the key to its peace."
"You cannot take such a risk."
Toneri asked in confusion, "What danger is there? I saw Uchiha Senyo fight on the moon. He is no match for me."
After thinking quickly, Black Zetsu decided on how to deceive him.
He said in a grave voice:
"No, you should not regard Uchiha Senyo as your hypothetical enemy."
"Your hypothetical enemy should be..."
Black Zetsu looked up at the sky. "The Ōtsutsuki Clan!"
"The Ōtsutsuki Clan!?"
Toneri looked puzzled. Ōtsutsuki Hamura had never left behind any related information. Otherwise, these descendants would not spend every day thinking about destroying the Shinobi World.
Before Toneri could ask, Black Zetsu said, "Strictly speaking, we are all descendants of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki."
"But the Ōtsutsuki are a vast clan.
