cooperate?!
What kind of collaboration is this?!
Do you guys look like you're looking to work with me?
Black Zetsu Zetsu's beady eyes were bloodshot. He ignored Uchiha Nan's words and now only wanted to kill that bastard Tobirama Senju!
" Uchiha Nan, that dark-skinned guy who seems to lack maternal love, doesn't seem very willing to cooperate with us."
Tobirama Senju sensed the pure killing intent emanating from Black Zetsu, blatantly directed at him.
However, Tobirama Senju didn't care, because he was already a dead man!
" Tobirama, I think you'd better not say anything. Haven't you noticed that Black Zetsu's emotions are getting more and more agitated?"
Uchiha Nan was somewhat helpless; Tobirama Senju always seemed to hit Black Zetsu's sore spots Tobirama Senju every word he uttered.
Long and dark-skinned.
Lack of maternal love
Black Zetsu had only a few sore spots where he felt inferior, Tobirama Senju Black Zetsu poking at those spots from the moment they met.
"Hmph, he's just a mere prisoner!"
Tobirama Senju snorted coldly, his face showing disdain, and then fell silent, leaving the situation to Uchiha Nan.
According to Uchiha Nan, the Black Zetsu in front of them is the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths.
The legend of the Sage of Six Paths has spread throughout the entire Ninja world. He is a legendary god who wielded the Amenonuhoko to quell a cataclysmic disaster. He is the progenitor of Chakra, spreading Chakra throughout the Ninja world and founding Ninjutsu Sect.
And this dark-skinned guy called Black Zetsu, since he is the younger brother of the Sage of Six Paths, should not be unknown. Black Zetsu has survived in the Ninja world for over a thousand years, so he must be plotting something.
It's perfect to have this inherently evil Uchiha brat interrogate Black Zetsu. Uchiha Nan also hides too many secrets and even claims to be the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths. Neither of them are easy to deal with.
Let heroes investigate heroes, let good men investigate good men!
I'll just be a spectator.
Tobirama Senju crossed his arms and stepped back behind Uchiha Nan, looking like he was watching a show.
" Black Zetsu, let's ignore this inherently evil Senju Old Ghost. He's already a dead man, so just treat his words as farts!"
Why bother arguing with a dead man?
Seeing the furious look in Black Zetsu's eyes, Uchiha Nan decided to first calm Black Zetsu down.
Tobirama Senju listened from the side, a displeased expression on his face.
He really wanted to punch Uchiha Nan in the face, but he forcibly suppressed the urge.
Compared to Uchiha Nan's insignificant sarcasm, Tobirama Senju was more concerned about the information revealed during Uchiha Nan's conversation with Black Zetsu.
Tobirama Senju had a sudden intuition that the information leaked during the exchange between Uchiha Nan and Black Zetsu tonight might very well determine the future of the entire Ninja world.
Black Zetsu stopped staring at Tobirama Senju and turned his gaze to Uchiha Nan, a look of apprehension on his face.
Uchiha Nan knows his own name and surname, does he also know his origins, his mother, and even his own plans?
Most importantly, he couldn't escape this damned sealed prison. He tried with all his might to break free, but to no avail.
Who designed this sealed prison?!
Who is it!!!
Who exactly are you?
"No one in the Ninja world should know my identity!"
Black Zetsu's voice was hoarse, his heart filled with trepidation, a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time.
My identity?
"Perhaps you should call me brother. I used to have a title: Sage of Six Paths."
Uchiha Nan's eyes revealed a loving gaze, and as soon as he spoke, Black Zetsu's emotions surged again.
"Impossible!!"
He's long dead!
"That unfilial son died a thousand years ago!!"
Black Zetsu Zetsu's hysterical roar clearly showed his inability to accept this reality; the shadow of being dominated by the Sage of Six Paths had returned!
In the early days of Black Zetsu's birth, it suffered greatly in order to evade the Sage of Six Paths ' detection.
Although the Sage of Six Paths was unaware of Black Zetsu's existence, Black Zetsu Black Zetsu, feeling guilty, would overthink every little thing the Sage of Six Paths did, from hiding to casually going out for a trip.
Has the Sage of Six Paths discovered me?
not good!!
That must be it. Quick, hide!!
He would hide for months before daring to venture out. Black Zetsu lived like this for a very long time. Even after confirming that the Sage of Six Paths had truly not discovered his existence, he was still filled with lingering fear until the Sage of Six Paths died, after which he was finally at ease.
Now that Uchiha Nan is actually claiming to be the Sage of Six Paths, how can Black Zetsu accept this?!
"Calm down, my Otōto, don't get so excited."
"What I just said might not have been entirely accurate. The Sage of Six Paths from a thousand years ago is indeed dead, but I am Sage of Six Paths reincarnation. His Chakra resides within me, and I have awakened some of the Sage of Six Paths ' memories."
Uchiha Nan fabricated a plausible lie, and apart from the Six Paths Elder appearing before him now, no one could expose his deception.
"You Filial Son!!"
"I'm going to kill you! You're the one who imprisoned Mother!!"
"Aaaaaah!!!"
"You beast!!!"
"."
Uchiha Nan's words were incredibly informative; Black Zetsu Uchiha Nan explanation. However, even in this momentary lapse, Black Zetsu instinctively began to act erratically.
In the moment of the Senju, Black Zetsu unleashed all the hatred and resentment he had accumulated towards the Sage of Six Paths.
A few minutes later, Black Zetsu finally stopped cursing, his mind recovered and he calmly considered what Uchiha Nan had said.
He currently has no way to verify the authenticity of Uchiha Nan's identity, but it should be quite credible.
How did you find me?!
" Black Zetsu, you've been too careless. You've lost the caution you had a thousand years ago. You've been following me closely lately, so how could I not have noticed you?"
"You have the scent of your mother's Chakra."
Uchiha Nan feigned profundity, took a deep breath, and after carefully savoring the moment, slowly spoke.
"Shut up!!!"
"My mother belongs to me alone, you have no right to smell that Chakra!!"
Black Zetsu's emotions surged once more, and he roared loudly at Uchiha Nan.
"You only started following me when I went to Kusagakure, right?"
"Although you have always been very careful and have tried every means to erase the traces you have left in history, I am now the Hokage of Konoha, wielding immense power, and my intelligence network covers the entire Ninja world."
"As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place. Over the past thousand years, you have interfered in the feud between the Senju Clan and Uchiha more than once, and your name has left its mark on history. You were very unlucky; I discovered a little clue and then followed the trail to find you."
"Mother did indeed leave a contingency plan. How laughable that I didn't discover your trace a thousand years ago! And wasn't it you who first stirred up the rift between my son Indra and the Asura!"
Uchiha Nan spoke in a loud and righteous voice, questioning Black Zetsu.
"So what if I did it?!"
"This is your retribution!!!"
I wish I could eat your flesh and sleep on your skin!
Black Zetsu's tone was full of sarcasm, and he had basically come to believe Uchiha Nan's story. The Uchiha Nan in front of him really was his adopted brother and his mother's unfilial son.
Tobirama Senju watched from the sidelines, his expression shifting rapidly, never expecting that what Uchiha Nan had said was actually true.
He really is the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths!
Wouldn't that Uchiha Nan had become his ancestor?
wrong!!
Uchiha Nan will always be an inherently evil brat of the Uchiha; even the Sage of Sage of Six Paths 'Chakra cannot affect the evil nature of the Uchiha!
Look at what Uchiha Nan has done!
They treat themselves like cattle to be exploited!
They attempted to exploit the villagers of Konoha as if they were cattle, using the power of the Zero-Tailed Beast, along with the puppet soldiers of the Moryo.
In the future, and even the entire Ninja world, will suffer from the exploitation of Uchiha Nan!!!
Is there anyone who can stop Uchiha Nan?
How utterly evil this is!!
The values promoted by the Ninjutsu Sect founded by the Sage of Sage of Six Paths were completely at odds with the actions of Uchiha Nan!
Never mind. Let's keep watching the drama unfold. What exactly happened between the Sage of Six Paths and his mother?!
Tobirama Senju remained silent, standing on the front lines of the gossip.
"Is the hatred between us really that great?"
"No matter what, I'm still your older brother!"
Uchiha Nan's tone was filled with sadness, and his eyes welled up with tears.
"You and I are sworn enemies!"
You are not worthy to be my brother, you are
"You unfilial son, you mother's Filial Son!!"
Black Zetsu didn't bother listening to Uchiha Nan's ramblings. It had long since severed its brotherhood with the Sage of Six Paths. From the moment the Sage of Six Paths betrayed its mother, it and the Sage of Six Paths could only be enemies!
"You arrested me today to stop me from saving my mother, didn't you!"
Black Zetsu's tone was chilling, and endless despair rose from the depths of his heart.
The Sage of Six Paths, who is inherently unfilial, would certainly not hesitate to stop me from rescuing my mother.
Dear Mother!!
what do I do!!
I might not be able to save you!!!
"The stone tablet I left behind was also altered by you, wasn't it? You even left the Infinite Tsukuyomi on it."
"This stone tablet deceived Madara Uchiha —the reincarnation of this generation's Indra."
"If my Chakra hadn't been reincarnated, perhaps you really would have succeeded."
Uchiha Nan mentioned the stone tablet at the Naka Shrine, which was the biggest preparation left by Black Zetsu. Each generation of Indra's reincarnation would eventually produce a tool that met Black Zetsu's standards.
"Hmph, I knew you'd found out about that too."
"I did it all!!"
Black Zetsu's voice was filled with hysteria; all the arrangements he had made had been discovered by the inherently unfilial Sage of Six Paths.
My mother has truly lost all hope.
"You Filial Son, you win!!"
You can laugh to your heart's content now!
"But I'm telling you! One day, your seal will break, and my mother will be free!"
Black Zetsu's tone was filled with resentment. Even though he had lost everything, he could not bow down to the Sage of Six Paths, who was born unfilial.
Even without my help, Mother will get out of this predicament someday.
My mother's life was longer than mine!!!
" Black Zetsu, my Otōto."
Why do you think I would stop you from rescuing Mother?
As soon as Uchiha Nan finished speaking, Black Zetsu froze, wondering if there was something wrong with his ears. A wave of emotion washed over him, and a faint glimmer of hope appeared in his heart.
What do you mean by that?
Explain yourself clearly!
Black Zetsu stared at Uchiha Nan, a hoarse sound escaping his throat.
" Asura's Chakra was reincarnated in Hashirama Senju, and Indra's Chakra was reincarnated in Madara Uchiha. Can you believe that Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha, Asura, and Indra are the same person?"
"No!!"
"I am who I am, I am Uchiha Nan!"
"I am the Sage of Six Paths, but I am not the Sage of Six Paths!!"
Uchiha Nan's voice was booming.
"I am the Sage of Six Paths, yet I am not the Sage of Six Paths. "Black Zetsu carefully considered Uchiha Nan Uchiha Nan's words, trying to understand her intentions. After pondering for a while, he looked up at Uchiha Nan and asked with an expectant tone:
"Are you willing to rescue Mother?"
They've taken the bait.
Uchiha Nan was secretly delighted. All those lies he'd made up tonight had finally hooked up with Black Zetsu's foolish younger brother.
Kaguya Otsutsuki is Black Zetsu's Achilles' heel. If you can control that, Black Zetsu will willingly become your lackey. To some extent, he and Tobirama Senju are similar.
Deeply calculating, cunning, and possessing something precious and inviolable.
"My predecessor, the Sage of Six Paths, acted too radically and thought too naively."
The conflict between Mingming and his mother was an internal matter that could have been resolved through negotiation. However, he chose the worst possible approach, physically fighting with his Mother and Son, which ultimately led to a complete breakdown in their relationship.
The indiscriminate distribution of Chakra, the foolish belief that humans could understand each other through Chakra and thus avoid war, resulted in irreversible consequences—humanity turned Chakra into a tool of war.
I will not repeat the same mistakes; I will correct the errors made by my predecessor Sage of Six Paths.
Including my mother, the Sage of Six Paths in my previous life)
Therefore, my answer is yes.
Uchiha Nan went so far as to discredit the Sage of Six Paths in order to elevate his own moral character. After laying the groundwork for so many words, he finally let Black Zetsu hear what he most wanted to hear.
Mother is saved!!
Sage of Six Paths Immortal, you Filial Son son! Even your reincarnations were more filial, smarter, and wiser than you.
"Born to be unfilial, cough cough cough."
Black Zetsu was momentarily at a loss for what to call Uchiha Nan.
" Black Zetsu, my predecessor, the Sage of Six Paths, made an irreparable mistake by sealing away his mother, which caused you to harbor resentment. However, as the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths, I agree to your request to save your mother without hesitation today."
I inherited the Sage of Six Paths ' Chakra and will correct Sage of Six Paths mistakes in the future, but you disrespect me. You won't even address me as "elder brother."
what you up to!"
"Do you perhaps refuse to acknowledge me as your elder brother?"
Uchiha Nan's serious expression and booming voice, with their irrefutable question, instantly shattered Black Zetsu's descent from hope to despair, and then back to hope again.
"Brother!"
Black Zetsu's tone was no longer arrogant; who could save his mother?
That's his good older brother!
