After all, Madara Uchiha stood at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World. How could a man like him be a pawn in Black Zetsu's plan?
But Black Zetsu had lived a thousand years ago. He was the Sage of Six Paths' younger brother.
Seen that way, perhaps it wasn't impossible.
When Mikoto seemed to have accepted it, Uchiha Yin continued.
"Madara is Indra's reincarnation in this generation, and Hashirama is Asura's. I just told you that."
"Madara Uchiha came up with the Eye of the Moon Plan after seeing the stone tablet passed down in our clan. I told you that too."
"But Black Zetsu had tampered with the Eye of the Moon Plan from the start."
"He altered part of the text the Sage of Six Paths left to the Uchiha Clan, making Madara Uchiha believe that only the Infinite Tsukuyomi could restore the clan."
"Madara Uchiha deciphered the inscription and left Konoha to pursue his 'true dream.' Later, he fought Hashirama. After Hashirama Senju defeated him, Madara survived using Izanagi. He cultivated a piece of flesh he'd bitten off Hashirama during their battle and grafted it onto himself, awakening the Rinnegan. Then he summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path from the moon and cultivated White Zetsu."
"All of it was part of Black Zetsu's plan."
Uchiha Yin paused there.
"And then?" Curiosity shone in both Mikoto's and Kaguya's eyes. They could sense that the crucial part of Black Zetsu's plan was coming.
This was the plot of someone who had manipulated the entire Shinobi World, and Uchiha Yin was about to expose it. The thought excited both Kaguya and Mikoto.
"I'm thirsty," Uchiha Yin said after a pause.
Mikoto rolled her eyes at Uchiha Yin, then obediently gave him a sip of water.
Uchiha Yin nodded
