Black Zetsu accessed the memories in Kabuto's mind, including the replay of his previous life that Sasuke had projected for him through genjutsu!
As Black Zetsu extracted the key information, he could not hide his shock.
"Uh, th-this is...!"
"Hagoromo's soul is still lingering in this world. He helped Indra's and Asura's reincarnations!"
"Mom was actually... by those two little brats!"
"Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki, Isshiki... Shi Mei!!!"
"So that's it? That's what happened? That's why Sasuke Uchiha has been acting so strangely ever since the Valley of the End!!"
"Orochimaru became the Shinigami's jinchūriki. The White Cursed Seal he gave Sasuke is the vessel for Hashirama Senju's power, and it was originally the 'Karma' of Mom's clan!!"
Kabuto Yakushi stayed calm in the face of danger and seized the opening. "Black Zetsu, you saw that future too, didn't you?! Your plot is doomed to fail. You should abandon the darkness and join us before it's too late!!!"
"Heh heh heh, hahahahahaha!!!"
Black Zetsu laughed without restraint. "I finally understand... your annihilation in the previous life, Sasuke returning with the lessons of my failure—this is heaven giving me another chance, so I won't fall in the same place twice!!!"
"This time, I won't let you seal Mother again!!!"
Kabuto Yakushi said, "Black Zetsu, even after seeing that future, you still refuse to come to your senses. You're utterly deranged...!!!!"
"Hahahahahahaha... the future? I think you've misunderstood something!!"
Black Zetsu's voice was cold and resolute!
—"Whether this world survives means nothing to me. All I want is for Mom to live, even if I have to make an enemy of the entire world!!!!!!!"
Whoosh!
The flames of Amaterasu that Black Zetsu had absorbed at the end of the Third Match erupted from the hand piercing Kabuto. They instantly engulfed Kabuto's entire body,
