Madara Uchiha Was Finished

Black Zetsu addressed Madara Uchiha with honorifics, but his expression and actions were full of disdain, contempt, and other signs of looking down on Madara Uchiha.

Completely ignoring Madara Uchiha's angry glare, it Flow onto Madara's shoulder and grew a jet-black head, looking down upon the quiet Ninja World as if it were its master.

Black Zetsu, with a sinister smile on his face, let out another chilling laugh, filled with an inexplicable eeriness and anticipation.

Upon hearing that grating laughter, Madara Uchiha's instinctive warning of danger immediately jolted him back to reality, jolting him out of his smugness at having accomplished his great mission of saving the world.

However, he did not suspect Black Zetsu at this moment. Instead, he stood up and looked around, trying to find the source of the danger.

In Madara Uchiha's mind, Black Zetsu was a manifestation of his will and could not possibly pose a threat to him.

Hearing that unpleasant laughter, he couldn't help but frown, secretly resolving to restore Black Zetsu's appearance and voice once the danger was eliminated.

This dark, ugly, and abstract creature, with such an unpleasant laugh, is really unsuitable to continue being the second incarnation of the Sage of Six Paths.

He's become a god, and his clone is a divine messenger; how could he be so ugly?

Madara Uchiha looked around warily, but couldn't find the source of the danger in his heart.

Frustrated, Ban blurted out, "Absolutely not! Stop laughing!"

"Also, you should thank me. Why should you thank me?"

Black Zetsu's laughter didn't stop; instead, it unabashedly revealed its malice.

"Hehehehe, Madara, you're truly laughable!" Black Zetsu burst into laughter.

Madara Uchiha's anger flared, and he coldly said, "What's so laughable—"

"His plan succeeded. It was a scheme that took a full thousand years to fool a fool like you until you died. Of course he'd find you laughable."

Shazo, accompanied by Uchiha Izumi, appeared before Madara Uchiha.

Madara Uchiha was stunned, Black Zetsu, who was about to make a move, was also stunned. They never expected that someone could withstand the consecutive attacks of [Infinite Tsukuyomi] and [Deep Forest Emergence].

Shazo pointed to his azure Tenseigan: "I am also a powerful being at the Sage of Six Paths Level, how could I possibly be defeated by a Ninjutsu with an area-of-effect impact that affects the entire Ninja World?"

Madara Uchiha and Black Zetsu's expressions changed drastically. They realized then that this was information that absolutely should not have been ignored. Why had they overlooked it?

"I can't understand why I overlooked it?"

Shazo said almost nonchalantly, "Because I not only have the Tenseigan, I also have the Rinnegan, and it's Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan."

"It's exactly the same as the Eye of the Moon that was hanging in the sky just now, and the Rinne Sharingan your eyebrows."

As he spoke, Shazo used his right index finger to draw a line between his eyebrows, releasing the Sealing Technique that concealed the existence of his eyes and revealing his mature Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan.

The surging power of his eyes spread out, almost instantly shattering Madara Uchiha's eye power defense, reminding him of the time he was hypnotized.

Madara Uchiha was utterly shocked, speechless. "You, you, you!"

"You were able to stop me from casting [Infinite Tsukuyomi] from the very beginning?"

"You're right." Shazo explained earnestly, "I need to see Kaguya Otsutsuki, so from the beginning I've been indulging you, controlling the pace of your plan, helping you complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan while causing minimal damage to Konoha."

Black Zetsu asked with a look of terror on his face, "You, you want to see Mother?"

Shazo Zuo turned his gaze to Black Zetsu: "Yes, I have completed all the preliminary preparations for the Kekkei Mōra, but I lack Chakra, a great deal of Chakra, at least ten times more than Madara Uchiha currently has, to take that Chakra step."

"There's no other way. In the entire Ninja World, only Kaguya Otsutsuki has such a large amount of Chakra. My only option is to revive her so I can extract Chakra from her."

Black Zetsu was filled with shock and rage, his face contorted in anger, but he quickly put those emotions aside.

A Sage of Six Paths Level Ninja actually dared to try to devour his mother's Chakra —it was utterly delusional!

This is beyond mere overestimation of one's abilities; it's not even as small as an ant trying to shake a tree. This is Toad trying to swallow the sky!

Black Zetsu smiled sinisterly, "Good, good, good, that's wonderful."

"Regardless, until Mother is rescued, your goal and mine are the same, right?"

Shazo nodded. "Absolutely right."

Listening to their conversation, Madara Uchiha's face had turned almost as black as Black Zetsu's. Anger made his veins bulge, but what terrified him was that his body had somehow lost its ability to obey him.

His Rinnegan practically popped out of his head. "Black Zetsu! Who exactly are you?"

"Fifth Hokage Shazo, you actually—"

Shazo sighed, "The Great Derivation Number is fifty, of which forty-nine are used. One is left to escape and be fought over by people, and that is how this prosperous world came to be."

"Therefore, I never push people to their deaths from the start; I always leave them a way out, lest they defy the Heavenly Dao and incur divine retribution."

"Madara Uchiha, it's not like I didn't give you chances, but you didn't seize them."

Black Zetsu has taken control of Madara Uchiha's body. He has painstakingly and meticulously planned for thousands of years to finally obtain this opportunity to save his mother.

If he were to Madara Uchiha one-on-one, he would absolutely show no mercy and sacrifice Madara Uchiha to his mother to prevent any unforeseen complications.

But things are different now. Black Zetsu has gained a temporary ally stronger than Madara Uchiha, and he can no longer suppress his desire to show off.

"Black Zetsu Madara, you have never been a savior, and I am not your clone! You think you control Obito Uchiha, control Nagato, control everything, but you don't know that I control your life."

Madara Uchiha gritted his teeth until his gums bled, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Who... who are you?"

Black Zetsu gritted his teeth and laughed, revealing his identity for the first time in a thousand years. "Me? I am the Son of God!"

"My mother is Kaguya Otsutsuki, the goddess who created a great Peaceful and Prosperous Age, wielded the God Tree, and is revered by the world as the Goddess of the Rabbit Goddess!"

"My mother was besieged by her two rebellious sons, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki. In her final moments before being sealed away, she created me with her supreme divine power. I am an extension of my mother's will."

Black Zetsu looked at Madara Uchiha and said decisively, "I'm not a clone of your soul."

Sizzle!

Black Zetsu's jet-black arm pierced through Madara Uchiha's heart from behind and emerged from his chest.

Madara Uchiha lowered his head in disbelief, staring blankly at his bloodstained black palm.

Worse than the agony of having his heart torn apart was the fact that his Sage of Six Paths Level Self-Healing ability had no effect whatsoever, Madara Uchiha only able to feel his life force rapidly draining away in agony.

Madara Uchiha's vision began to blur and shrink. He heard Black Zetsu uttering name after name, and his scalp tingled with shock. He finally came to believe that he had encountered a conspiracy that had lasted for over a thousand years.

Before he could even feel despair, a vast amount of Chakra, as boundless as an ocean, surged into his body from the God Tree behind him.

That was Chakra drawn from all life forms in the Ninja World, which gathered into the trunk of the divine God Tree God Tree that spread throughout the Ninja World.

In just a few minutes, an unimaginable number of people had gathered.

This immense Chakra, far surpassing that of the Ten-Tails, surged wildly from the tree trunk through Black Zetsu Zetsu's Yin-Yang Release, pouring into Madara Uchiha's body.

Madara Uchiha's soul could not withstand such a tremendous impact and was instantly suppressed to the deepest part of his body by the massive Chakra.

Before he completely lost consciousness, he vaguely felt a great and invisible will descend into his body along with his Chakra.

That will was so magnificent, its depth like an endless Abyssal One, its arrival seemed to draw the entire Ninja World in.

Madara Uchiha's consciousness disappeared into the Abyssal One, but his body continued to receive Chakra, and his speed increased rapidly.

After a few breaths, the surging Chakra concentration reached a level sufficient to emit light, forming streams of light that entered Madara Uchiha's body.

After his Chakra accumulated beyond its limit, Madara Uchiha's body could no longer maintain its human form. It swelled and twisted like a balloon, turning into a giant white ball of flesh.

"Mother, you are finally coming back to life—"

Watching the writhing ball of flesh and feeling the great will gradually awakening within it, the sinister look in Black Zetsu's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by deep longing and affection.

Seeing this, Shazo turned to Uchiha Izumi and said, "Izumi, go and meet up with Tsunade, then immediately return to Konoha to find Tenten. After the great earthquake in the Ninja World stops, bring her with you to find me."

Uchiha Izumi didn't throw a tantrum. Sensing the Chakra fluctuations of the Kaguya Otsutsuki, she knew very well what a terrifying monster she was.

No, this is Goddess, the Rabbit Goddess.

Next, Shazo Zuo will be fighting against this Goddess who can easily crush Madara Uchiha, Uchiha Izumi knows that she absolutely cannot hold him back.

So he whispered his blessing to Shazo: "Shazo, I wish you victory."

After saying that, she followed the Wood Clone created by Shazo and took a step to the edge of the previous battlefield, where she met up with Tsunade, who was waiting anxiously.

Then, the two of them each took one of the Wood Clone ' hands and stepped forward again, arriving at a Secret Chamber in Konoha, where they saw Tenten, who was restless and jumping Tenten like Monkey named Ethan.

Upon seeing her two older sisters and the Wood Clone, the girl rushed over and hugged them tightly, almost bursting into tears.

Because the Wood Clone dissipates itself after delivering the person, transmitting the information back to the main body, Tsunade and Uchiha Izumi were tightly huddled together after being hugged by Tenten.

This greatly embarrassed the two women who harbored resentment towards each other, and their faces turned red.

Once Tenten calmed down, she, Uchiha Izumi, Tsunade exchanged the information they had gathered and, after combining it, came to a complete picture of the Shazo Plan.

Tsunade gasped, "That kid Shazo is really—really wicked."

"If he tries to scheme against me, I can't handle it. I might even be sold out and end up counting the money for him."

Uchiha Izumi laughed, "This is the kind of Shazo who's truly Hokage. Without such shrewdness, the flames of war might have reached Konoha, and countless Ninja would have perished as a result."

"Furthermore, both Nagato and Madara Uchiha are far beyond the comprehension of Ninja. I can't even imagine what would happen if they Sneak Attack Konoha— "

Because Tenten is key to Shazo's success, she is well protected and has never witnessed the destruction caused by power surpassing Kage-level Ninja.

But Tsunade saw it with her own eyes. Neither the 18 Susanoo nor the Rinnegan techniques like [Shinra Tensei] and [Chibaku Tensei] could compare to Kurama.

If such a technique were to strike Konoha, it would absolutely destroy the Konoha, and none of the Konoha villagers would survive.

Tsunade of this, Tsunade couldn't help but shudder and murmured, "Izumi-chan, you're right. As Hokage, Shazo is indeed very capable."

"But I still feel scared, afraid that he'll secretly plot against me—"

Tenten jumped up and said, "Don't be afraid, Tsunade- neechan! With the three of us sisters working together, how could we possibly not be able to deal with Shazo alone?"

Uchiha Izumi nodded heavily. "Tenten is right. None of us are a match for Shazo, but if we communicate like we did today, we can figure everything out."

Tsunade covered her face with her hands, hiding her flushed cheeks. She had just misunderstood the idea that "the three sisters would join forces to deal with Shazo alone."

Yes, in that direction, sir.

She said sullenly, "You two little girls are really carefree. We managed to figure it out today, but who knows if he deliberately told each of us only a part, just to make us gather together and discuss it?"

The two girls were dumbfounded. "Huh? Is Shazo really that bad?"

Tsunade nodded emphatically and said, "Yes, that brat Shazo is really bad!"

Tsunade suffered a great loss in a certain aspect.

Although her close relationship with Shazo started when she drugged the Hokage, Shazo quickly took control of the situation.

Over the years, Tsunade has never been able to turn the tables; each time, she has passively learned more knowledge.

I'm so embarrassed just thinking about it.

When Tsunade thought of all the shameful knowledge she had learned, she was so angry that she wanted to bite a piece of Shazo right away.

She said resentfully, "Tenten's suggestion is right. The three of us must join forces to avoid being bullied to death by that brat Shazo Zuo."

Uchiha Izumi exclaimed in shock, "Shazo... he bullied Tsunade?"

Tsunade: "Yes, he's such a bully!"

"I'm telling you, he did this to me last time, and then he did that—"

After making up her mind, Tsunade opened up and said a lot, leaving the two girls dumbfounded, their cheeks flushed red.

They even gradually Hinata, with white steam rising from their heads.
