"..."
Now, Black Zetsu truly dared not say anything.
No matter what he said now, it would be wrong. He needed to lie low, biding his time to deceive the next Uchiha that would be born!
Anyway…
The next thousand years…
There might be another chance!
"Save Mr. Black Zetsu!"
Akihara Kagura's voice suddenly appeared, his laughter finally becoming normal: "Although Mr. Madara is keen to kill it, Mr. Black Zetsu and I share the same goal..."
With Akihara Kagura's order given, Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato simultaneously rushed in the direction of Black Zetsu. Uchiha Madara leaped up, kicking both of them away!
However…
This couldn't stop the two Flying Thunder God users from saving the day!
As Uchiha Madara kicked them, the Black Rod in his hand materialized, intending to directly control Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato!
The bodies of the two Flying Thunder God users vanished instantly, dodging the Yin-Yang Release Black Rod, then reappeared, continuing their charge toward Black Zetsu!
Uchiha Madara's eyes flashed, and the repulsive force of the Rinnegan suddenly erupted, sending Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama flying again!
"Mr. Black Zetsu, you can escape on your own now."
Akihara Kagura's voice came from Senju Hashirama's body, speaking calmly: "Come find me, I will tell you everything, I will let you know the reasons behind everything, after all, you don't have any other choice, right?"
"!!!"
Black Zetsu's body instantly burrowed underground.
What Akihara Kagura said was right…
He indeed had no other choice!
Although he didn't know why Akihara Kagura would save him, it was undoubtedly a saving grace from the heavens!
Most importantly, Black Zetsu also wanted to know some answers from Akihara Kagura; he wanted to know what hidden secrets and dangers lay behind all this!
Only by resolving these unknown dangers...
Could the plan to revive Kaguya proceed in the future!
Uchiha Madara looked at Black Zetsu slipping away, his face instantly filled with rage, a powerful Chakra suddenly rising from him, entering the Susanoo state!
A blue Ninja Sword suddenly stabbed into the ground!
Yet...
Black Zetsu had already disappeared using the Mayfly Jutsu!
"Kagura, what on earth are you trying to do?"
Jiraiya spoke sternly, questioning his disciple: "You should know, that guy is hiding a huge conspiracy, maybe it's just like what's recorded on the tree bark of the Senju Clan, wanting to dominate the entire Ninja World..."
"Master Jiraiya..."
Akihara Kagura's voice was a bit innocent, reminding Jiraiya: "Have you forgotten, I want to destroy the entire Ninja World, right? What's this got to do with me?"
"..."
Jiraiya almost forgot.
What his disciple was doing was far more extreme than Black Zetsu!
Maybe Black Zetsu just wanted to dominate the Ninja World, but Akihara Kagura wanted to destroy it and recreate the ninjas!
"Akihara Kagura!"
Uchiha Madara's eyes flashed with a glint, closely watching his old friend Senju Hashirama, knowing that Akihara Kagura was definitely observing through Hashirama's eyes!
"Hand over Black Zetsu to me!"
"Mr. Madara."
Akihara Kagura's voice indeed came from Senju Hashirama's mouth, leisurely saying: "Everything that happened today had only one purpose, to reveal the true nature of Black Zetsu and separate him from your side..."
"What are you saying!"
Uchiha Madara's expression changed!
"Where should I start..."
As Akihara Kagura spoke, he controlled three Reanimation Hokage to appear, his voice gradually becoming elusive: "If I have to say, it should be when Master Jiraiya went to investigate the Akatsuki Organization's intelligence, right?"
"From that time..."
"I made a plan..."
"Using that plan to bring about everything that happened today."
"The Root Ninja launching a large-scale operation to besiege Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Obito was just to attract the attention of Uchiha Obito and Black Zetsu."
"I took the opportunity to attack Brother Nagato, using the justification of destroying the Ninja World with the Rinnegan and war weapons, forcing Brother Nagato to betray the Moon Eye Plan for the safety of the Ninja World..."
"I never actually cared about Brother Nagato's Rinnegan, my goal was merely to force Brother Nagato to betray the Moon Eye Plan..."
"Of course."
"The most important objective..."
"Undoubtedly, was to first let you know that Brother Nagato had betrayed the Moon Eye Plan."
"At that time... you would certainly want to take back Brother Nagato's eyes... And Brother Nagato's whereabouts were always under my control, I chose to revive you via Reanimation Jutsu, then calculated the time for you and Black Zetsu to arrive in Konoha..."
"Then..."
"I needed you to understand another thing..."
"The Reanimation Jutsu you were under couldn't escape my control, the pride of the Uchiha would inevitably drive you to free yourself from my control, the loss of control of the Moon Eye Plan further made you eager to claim your freedom!"
"So you would do everything to manipulate Brother Nagato to use the ability of the Rinnegan, the Reincarnation Jutsu, to bring you back to life completely..."
"Coincidentally..."
"Black Zetsu also wanted your complete revival."
"Everything fell just perfectly into place, the Reanimation Jutsu's you finally achieved your purpose, fully revived by the Reincarnation Jutsu, regained freedom of your own body, and obtained the eyes from Brother Nagato..."
"Then..."
"You got the tree bark."
When Akihara Kagura got to this point, his voice softened a bit: "What was incredibly clever was that this piece of tree bark also appeared according to my plan..."
"..."
Everyone looked toward Kabuto.
"..."
Kabuto adjusted his glasses, feeling a strange calm in his heart.
"It was probably when I became the leader of Root..."
When Akihara Kagura spoke of Kabuto, there was a hint of a light laugh in his voice: "I declared to Kabuto that I intended to destroy the Ninja World, but I knew Kabuto would never agree, because he was still bent on protecting the director, protecting the director and that orphanage..."
"Of course."
"He also couldn't expose me."
"Because he couldn't escape my control, the entire orphanage, including the director, was under Root's control. Kabuto, a very smart person, also knew that if he reported this to the high leadership of Konoha, the last sacrificial victim could only be him, who knew the truth..."
"Because Konoha would not sacrifice me, this Wood Release genius..."
"However..."
"Kabuto did not choose to give up."
"Over the years, Kabuto always showed compliance to me, even secretly gathering powerful Reanimation Jutsu users, hoping they could one day be used to stop me..."
When Akihara Kagura got to this point, he did not spare his sarcasm towards Kabuto: "The tiny ant trying hard to protect the nest before the flood breaks was very amusing, so I also cleverly let him know a secret..."
"The Senju Clan's tree bark."
"The secret of the Senju Clan's tree bark was something I deliberately revealed, even the use of Wood Release Chakra to obtain the secret within the tree bark was a carefully let known hidden fact..."
"However..."
"Kabuto never imagined."
"The true significance of this tree bark lies in this moment."
"Kabuto is a clever man, he has been observing the situation in the village, and when he discovered the outbreak of Reanimation Ninja and the subsequent battle in Konoha Village, he realized my plan had begun, so he immediately handed over the tree bark to Lady Tsunade, hoping Lady Tsunade could use the tree bark to find a way to break my plan..."
"Very unfortunately."
"The tree bark, from the moment he saw it, was intended to be passed step by step through his hands, until it appeared in the hands of the last person..."
"That person..."
"Is me." Uchiha Madara, with a sinister tone, volunteered the answer.
