Watching Hyuga Rinka display considerable strength, Black Zetsu thought of another group. Hamura Otsutsuki had gone to the moon back then, and some of his descendants should have remained there.
Compared to Hagoromo Otsutsuki's descendants in the Shinobi World, Black Zetsu felt that those on the moon had probably preserved a more complete legacy. If so, he could arrange for Uchiha Yi and them to slaughter one another.
He could easily feed Uchiha Yi some false ideas, painting the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon as villains intent on destroying the Shinobi World. Then he could portray Uchiha Yi as an evil man bent on wiping out the Moon Otsutsuki Clan.
The thought of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's chakra reincarnation fighting the Moon Otsutsuki Clan filled Black Zetsu with delight.
That's what you get for joining forces to seal Mother away back then. You all deserve to die!
Every last one of you!
Black Zetsu had already decided to move against Uchiha Yi as soon as possible.
What Black Zetsu did not know was that the instant he appeared, Uchiha Yi had sensed intense malice and fear coming from him.
Had he misunderstood something?
Still, as long as Madara Uchiha did not show up, Uchiha Yi had nothing to fear. Black Zetsu could backstab Madara Uchiha, but that did not mean he was genuinely powerful.
There was no denying that Black Zetsu's abilities were troublesome. Even Six Paths Naruto could only seal him rather than destroy him outright.
As he was now, Uchiha Yi could not guarantee that he could deal with Black Zetsu either.
"They're doing pretty well, though!" Watching the four hold their own against the wielder of the Kubikiribōchō, Uchiha Yi felt gratified. They were still improving rapidly.
Once they returned, he could arrange for Hyuga Rinka and Uchiha Mikoto
