You Can't Awaken the Mangekyo / Black Zetsu Is a Chatterbox

Ever since it joined Uchiha Obito, the phrase it heard most often was, "Do you want to die?"

Outrageous!

Uchiha Madara so irritable, never cursed at it!

"Follow me." Composing himself, Black Zetsu led Uchiha Shingen inside.

Uchiha Shingen followed.

I just wanted to see what kind of trouble they were up to.

Carrying an oil lamp, I walked through a long corridor, the place where the shadow clone Shadow Clone just fought its way through, where traces of battle were visible everywhere.

There's also a collapsed wall nearby. I have to say, this place is really sturdy; it's been battered like this and hasn't collapsed yet.

However, light shone through the collapsed wall, suggesting that the next room was a large space.

The answer will soon be revealed.

As Black Zetsu led Uchiha Shingen around a corner, they entered a vast space where Uchiha Shingen saw numerous cultivation tanks.

They were all White Zetsu.

This is a White Zetsu cloning base.

However, Uchiha Shingen showed no interest in Hashirama Cells and remained completely unmoved.

Until he saw a coffin.

His eyes widened.

"Yes, this is... the remains of Uchiha Madara." Black Zetsu noticed Uchiha Shingen's gaze. Although Uchiha Shingen's "lack of interest" in White Zetsu made it think that he didn't know what he was talking about, Uchiha Shingen's gaze at the coffin made it further believe in the identity of "Uchiha Madara worshipper" that Uchiha Shingen had been proclaiming in front of it.

If they admire Uchiha Madara, then things will be easier.

"Uchiha Madara's body cannot fall into anyone's hands. He created me before he died, and I hid his body here." Black Zetsu solemnly recited a series of settings, then turned to look at Uchiha Shingen, "However, out of your respect for your senior, I can let you pay your respects to his remains."

"Please allow me to pay my respects!" Uchiha Shingen said in a loud voice, his face full of "sorrow," "A hero like the clan leader cannot even be buried in the clan grounds after his death! I will never forgive the Senju Clan!"

"Sigh, don't get agitated, don't get agitated," Black Zetsu comforted him. "Uchiha Madara also left a last wish. You descendants shouldn't care too much about these formalities. The key is to inherit his spirit."

It was overjoyed.

I'm increasingly convinced that it was the right decision not to dispose of Uchiha Madara's body directly.

Isn't this coming in handy?

Chapter Fifty You Can't Open Mangekyo Sharingan

Under Uchiha Shingen's expectant gaze, two White Zetsu stepped forward and opened the coffin.

"Huh?" Uchiha Shingen was slightly surprised.

When the coffin was opened, there was absolutely no smell that a long-dead human body should have.

"You can go see it now," Black Zetsu said. "Don't be surprised. Of course, I won't let Uchiha Madara's body rot. I've taken precautions."

Uchiha Shingen glanced thoughtfully at the White Zetsu's true form.

Then, suppressing his excitement, he stepped forward.

He finally saw it.

An old man lay in the coffin.

With just one glance, Uchiha Shingen confirmed it.

This is definitely Uchiha Madara.

He was very old before he died.

His once black hair is now completely white, and his handsome face is full of wrinkles.

The former strongest member of the Uchiha Clan, Leaf Village Asura, lies quietly inside.

Even in this aged body, the murderous aura of yesteryear still lingers, as if it's about to burst forth.

He smiled, whether because he had finally completed his plan before dying, or because he was mocking the tragic world that he saw as beyond redemption.

Looking at Uchiha Madara like this, even though he knew that Madara was currently waiting in the Pure Land for his pawns to give him a second life, Uchiha Shingen still felt...

This guy is awesome!

Even when lying down like a corpse, he does it differently from everyone else.

Uchiha Madara's body was covered with countless Sealing Jutsu techniques to ensure that his body would not decay.

Uchiha Shingen was immediately disappointed; how was he supposed to proceed...?

However, he also had doubts.

What does Black Zetsu intend to do by leaving this body behind?

Uchiha Madara would certainly not allow himself to be resurrected in this aged state; there would be no point in doing so.

"The remains of the Madara clan chief are just left here like this?" Uchiha Shingen asked, voicing his doubts.

"Of course not," Black Zetsu said. "It's just following Uchiha Madara's last wish. I will move there when a better place comes."

[I didn't think that much about it, but his body might be useful to you...]

Thinking this, it then gestured for the White Zetsu clone to close the coffin lid again.

"Okay, let's talk about your eyes."

"Alright." Uchiha Shingen took one last look at the coffin, but didn't make any further moves.

Black Zetsu observed this and confirmed that Uchiha Shingen truly had nothing to be suspicious about.

"You know about Yin-Yang Release, right?" it asked.

"Know."

"That's good, it will save a lot of time." Black Zetsu nodded, then asked, "Just in case, I'd like to know, what is your dream?"

"A dream?" Uchiha Shingen glanced at the guy in front of him.

Speaking of which, Black Zetsu is one of only two people in the Hokage world who have consistently stuck to their own ideas without wavering.

As a villain, he is competent.

Those back-and-forth jumping stunts are the most ridiculous.

If you're not resolute, don't pretend to be some worldly-wise sage...

Oh, Kaguya Otsutsuki isn't a villain, she's a true boss, a pure boss.

"Peace!" After thinking for a moment, Uchiha Shingen gave Black Zetsu a truthful answer, "If it weren't for the fact that this world is so unpeaceful, I wouldn't be a ninja at all."

"How do you think peace can be achieved?"

"Simple, everyone get a Big Ivan, and bomb anyone who causes trouble!"

"Huh? Big Ivan?" Black Zetsu was dumbfounded.

What the hell is that?

"Oh... sorry, I misspoke..." Uchiha Shingen said, "What I meant was, peace must be achieved through strength."

"Can't we rely on love?"

"I've never seen anything that can be accomplished through mere words." Uchiha Shingen's words were the truth.

Love my ass! Who would love a complete stranger?

You, as a villain, shouldn't use lines from the heroic protagonist; it's really off-putting.

"Good!" Black Zetsu was truly satisfied this time; this Uchiha Clan was incredibly pure.

Uchiha Obito was also pure, but his purity was a bit...

"Let's get back to your eyes." Black Zetsu began to genuinely consider how Uchiha Shingen could improve his strength. "Your Sharingan is very stable now, but that means the path to the Mangekyō Sharingan is blocked for you. You have to take another path."

"This thing can be blocked?" Although Uchiha Shingen was disgusted by the side effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan, it would be nonsense to say that he didn't want that power.

Therefore, he was displeased to hear Black Zetsu say so definitively that he definitely couldn't awaken the Mangekyo Sharingan.

"The Mangekyō Sharingan is based on the Uchiha Clan's emphasis on cultivating spiritual energy. Only when your spiritual energy reaches its limit will it resonate with your physical energy and give rise to the Mangekyō Sharingan," Black Zetsu said matter-of-factly.

It is indeed a history inventor, but its explanation of the Mangekyō Sharingan is indeed its own judgment.

Uchiha Shingen constantly questioned its views, which annoyed it.

All the truths it has told its entire life are on display today, okay?

You should cherish the rare moment when Black Zetsu isn't lying!

"However, you have been developing your physical energy. Although I don't know how you did it, the difference between these two energies is far smaller in you than in other Uchiha Clan. It's impossible for you to make spiritual energy completely dominant and thus generate the Mangekyō Sharingan!"

"What about the 'Indra's Eye' you mentioned? I remember when we first met, you said Indra had the Mangekyou Mangekyo Sharingan, and just now you mentioned Chakra. It's not that I doubt you, but you always give different answers." Uchiha Shingen decided to remind him.

Who knows if this guy will get carried away and start making up stories again.

He doesn't want stories; he wants concrete information.

"I admit I lied about the Mangekyo Sharingan, but the Chakra is real. Even if you possess Indra's Chakra, you can't possibly have the 'Indra's Eye.' You descendants don't possess Indra's spirit and physical energy," Black Zetsu patiently explained. "Don't be discouraged. Didn't I just say you have another path? Based on your talent, if you can achieve it, you'll be stronger than any current ninja. Your eyes can also become the 'Indra's Eye' in another form. However, you'd better not count on the Rinnegan."

"What kind of path?" Uchiha Shingen didn't care that the other party said he didn't need to rely on the Rinnegan. He had never set his goals that high. As for the Rinnegan, unless one was a reincarnation of Indra's Chakra, there was probably no chance of getting it.

Yin-Yang Release is what he truly seeks.

"Of course it's Yin-Yang Release," Black Zetsu said. "But mastering the seven nature transformations doesn't necessarily mean mastering Yin- Yin-Yang Release. You must fuse the seven nature transformations into one to form this new power..." Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Shingen. "I'm not trying to discourage you, but the nature of the five elements can be cultivated later in life. However, the upper limit of the Yin and Yang natures is determined by innate factors. As Uchiha Clan, is this something you can achieve on your own?"

You're just throwing cold water on things!

"Since you've put it that way, then there must be a solution, right?"

"Of course, all the White Zetsu here were cultivated using Senju Hashirama's cells, and their bodies contain Senju Hashirama's power."

"Wait a minute!" Uchiha Shingen quickly waved his hand. "Let's make this clear first, I can't do cell transplants."

Hashirama Cells transplantation is a trap.

"Don't worry, I won't transplant it into you," Black Zetsu said.

[You might be willing, but I'm not. What if we get exposed after we go out?]

It thought to itself, and continued, "Your physical energy has already been developed to the maximum limit of the Uchiha Clan, and your Chakra perception is already very strong. I will have the White Zetsu here assist you in training Yang-type Chakra, but before that..."

It sat down on the ground.

"Let me first tell you about the history of our ancestor Indra and Ashura of the Senju Clan. That way, you'll understand how to use the White Zetsu's Chakra to cultivate your own yang-type Chakra."

Another story to tell?

Uchiha Shingen, feeling helpless, simply walked over to Black Zetsu and sat down as well.

Chapter 51 Black Zetsu is a chatterbox

Black Zetsu is a chatterbox.

Uchiha Shingen truly believed this.

For the first time in his life, he was the one who was soliciting someone else's services, but the guy being solicited seemed unsatisfied, with an air of "I can write another chapter."

The story of Indra and Ashura was utterly unoriginal and made him want to fall asleep.

In the Black Zetsu version, Indra is a person with great love but who cannot gain his father's approval. Then, his despicable younger brother takes advantage of the situation and gains the father's favor and is designated as the successor.

The plot follows a palace intrigue style, and Indra is the naive and innocent character.

To put it simply, any palace drama on Blue Star has a richer plot than this.

Having endured the Chakra reincarnation storyline, Uchiha Shingen quickly interjected with his own words.

"So... Chief Ban is the reincarnation of our ancestor?"

"It's the reincarnation of Chakra." Although Black Zetsu was interrupted, he still found the conversation very enjoyable and wasn't unhappy at all. "The ancestor's Chakra changed Uchiha Madara's Chakra and also strengthened himself, preparing for the next reincarnation."

Based on its millennia-long history of behavior, communicating with people in this way would be virtually impossible.

But strangely enough, it felt a sense of "equality" with Uchiha Shingen. Although Uchiha Shingen did not trust it, he still regarded it as a person with its own will, its own joys and sorrows, rather than a human tool or a product of Ninjutsu, and he did not feel that it was inferior to others.

This was a treatment he had never received from any other Indra.
