A dark figure slowly poked his head out of the floor of the Hokage Office.
"Madara Uchiha!"
Black Zetsu called Madara Uchiha's name with an air of theatrical mystery.
"I am an incarnation of the Sage of Six Paths' consciousness. I have come to guide you..."
When Black Zetsu raised his head and saw Madara Uchiha before him, he froze in utter disbelief.
A chill instantly rose in his heart.
The Madara Uchiha standing before him was nothing like the one he had expected.
He wore white robes just like the Sage of Six Paths, with a horn-shaped forehead protector on his head. White hair fell down his back, his skin was pale, and a pair of Rinnegan stared fixedly at Black Zetsu. He held a pitch-black scepter in his hand.
Oh no! How had Madara Uchiha become the Sage of Six Paths?!
Black Zetsu's first instinct was to run, but only then did he discover that he could no longer slip underground.
A strange energy had sealed off the entire room.
"You say you're an incarnation of the Sage of Six Paths? And you've come to guide me? Heh heh heh."
Madara Uchiha couldn't stop sneering.
"Why aren't you claiming to be an incarnation of my consciousness? Why aren't you saying you've come to help me collect the nine tailed beasts and activate Infinite Tsukuyomi to create an ideal world?"
Black Zetsu jolted in shock. Oh no! How did he know my original plan?!
That had indeed been his plan, but he hadn't expected Madara Uchiha to become Hokage. He had been forced to abandon his original plan for the time being and find a way to trick Madara Uchiha into reading the stone tablet he had altered first.
He had never expected things to go so badly wrong
