Black Zetsu could not understand how his plan had been leaked!
Even less could he understand where Shihōin Naraku had gotten this information.
If Naraku had merely known the name Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, that would not have been enough to terrify Black Zetsu so much.
The key was that Naraku had laid out his entire plan.
This was utterly inconceivable.
Naraku looked down at the completely stunned Black Zetsu, a barely perceptible smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Before, he would not have revealed this information lightly.
Because it would have clearly affected the course of the Shinobi World's plot.
Now, however, there was no need to be so nervous.
The Fourth Shinobi World War had already reached this point: Obito Uchiha, Madara Uchiha, Kabuto Yakushi, the Allied Shinobi Forces, Black Zetsu, and even Naraku himself.
Everyone's schemes, plans, and arrangements were tangled together, with no possibility of stopping.
Even if Black Zetsu heard unimaginable information from Naraku, he had no other option but to continue pushing forward with the plan to resurrect Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Naraku knew that Black Zetsu's shock now would accomplish nothing. The wheels of fate had already rolled over every variable.
Since the reality of war could not be changed, he would let the truth become a catalyst, accelerating the battle destined to come.
So Black Zetsu's choice did not matter. Naraku only needed to watch how things unfolded.
Naraku watched Black Zetsu at his leisure. "Are you surprised?"
"You, you, you..."
For a long while, Black Zetsu could not even get a complete sentence out.
Clearly, the facts Naraku had revealed had frightened him so badly that he could not recover.
"Strange..." Naraku raised his eyebrows. "When I first mentioned the name Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, you didn't suspect anything? You didn't investigate in secret?"
That
