Kaedeji took a deep breath. There were simply too many things to criticize here; for a moment, he did not know what to say.
From the moment he obtained this secret technique, Kaedeji had vaguely sensed that something was off. He suspected this was the technique Madara had used to "create" Black Zetsu before dying In The Original Timeline.
