The next second.
Lin Ze's attack landed on Madara, but it was like striking solid rock. There was no reaction whatsoever!
Madara Uchiha's body began to change violently. His long white hair grew wildly, the Nine-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan on his forehead shone ever brighter, and his entire aura began to turn strange and unfamiliar!
"No... impossible..."
Madara Uchiha's final words were filled with unwillingness: "I, Madara Uchiha... was actually... a pawn too..."

She nodded gently, her voice still cold, but carrying a hint of softness:
"You did well... rest easy."
"Yes... Mother..."
Black Zetsu gave a faint smile before
