"Madara..."
Zetsu's face was somewhat panicked. Its body involuntarily took a step back as it cautiously said, "I chose to deceive you only because you are the strongest ninja, only you have the ability to resurrect the Ten-Tails, only you can save the Ninja World..."
"I only used your desire for peace in the Ninja World..."
"What I said was true..."
"Now, everything I'm saying is true!"
Zetsu could clearly feel Uchiha Madara's killing intent!
Zetsu was well aware that Uchiha Madara possessed the Rinnegan; perhaps it couldn't seal a powerful ninja, but it could definitely seal it, a Yin-Yang Release creation without much power!
"Interesting..."
Uchiha Madara sneered coldly.
"Does a liar have their own reasons?"
Now, Uchiha Madara desperately wanted to kill Zetsu, who had deceived him!
"Mr. Madara, can't you let it finish those stories?"
Akihara Kagura's voice once again came from Namikaze Minato's mouth, seemingly persuading Uchiha Madara: "Although Mr. Zetsu spun other historical tales to hide its identity as the dark will of the Six Paths Sage, hearing the will of the Six Paths Sage tell us some fascinating stories can be quite interesting, right?"
"I'm telling the truth!"
"This time, everything I'm saying is true!"
Zetsu's voice was tinged with pain and despair; this time, what it was saying was indeed true, just with some slight differences!
"I'd like to keep listening."
Akihara Kagura chuckled lightly, transmitting the voice through Namikaze Minato's body: "I can only hope this story is more exciting than the real history recorded on the bark..."
"What I'm saying is true!"
Zetsu felt as if its heart was twisted, staring intently at Namikaze Minato's body, it screamed painfully: "What's recorded on the bark is false, all of that is false!"
"After Kaguya quelled the war, she gave birth to two children!"
"One of the children was named Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the father of Indra, ancestor of the Uchiha Clan, and Asura, ancestor of the Senju Clan; the other child was named Otsutsuki Hamura, the ancestor of the Hyuga Clan!"
"However, these two children couldn't understand Kaguya..."
"As I said before, Kaguya was inherently bad at expressing herself, they always believed their mother was harming the world, so they waged war against her..."
"In the end..."
"Kaguya was sealed away by her son Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and when she was sealed, she created me, I am indeed her will..."
Zetsu's fists clenched, staring intently at Uchiha Madara in front of it, concealing its desire to resurrect Otsutsuki Kaguya: "Before Kaguya was sealed, she felt all hope was lost, so she ordered me to help her resurrect the Ten-Tails... and let the Ninja World give birth to a new Ten-Tails Jinchuriki..."
This was Zetsu's final stubbornness!
Because Zetsu still wanted to make one last effort!
After all, the event of becoming a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, which would lead to Kaguya's resurrection, had never happened before, it wanted to make one last attempt to deceive Uchiha Madara...
Unfortunately.
Someone present didn't want to see its deception.
"The story is rather ordinary, isn't it..."
Akihara Kagura's voice carried a hint of laughter as if mocking and ridiculing: "Mr. Zetsu, your story seems to lack excitement. A wondrous creature living for thousands of years actually tells us you want to resurrect the Ten-Tails to fend off foreign invaders. If it's really to save the Ninja World, why couldn't this be stated openly?"
Everyone could hear Akihara Kagura's ridicule!
Yet Zetsu felt unjustly wronged; if it could cry out loud, Zetsu would use its aggrieved tears to flood Konoha!
But...
The people present seemed unwilling to believe its explanations anymore.
The chakra on Uchiha Madara grew stronger and stronger as his steps gradually approached Zetsu's body, his fingers curling one by one, wishing to personally eliminate the bastard who had deceived him!
"Madara..."
Zetsu looked at the approaching Uchiha, a trace of despair on its face: "This time, I honestly didn't lie to you, I will never deceive you again..."
"It doesn't matter."
Uchiha Madara spread his hand, speaking coldly: "Whatever you say now, I can't believe you anymore..."
"Actually believing a little wouldn't hurt..."
Akihara Kagura's voice seemed quite interested, speaking slowly: "I believe some of what Mr. Zetsu says is probably true, and some are certainly false..."
"Because I still have a record of the history of the Hyuga Clan in my hand, which seems to include what happens when one becomes a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!"
"!!!"
Zetsu looked despairingly at Namikaze Minato's body.
Damn you!
This bastard has another hidden card!
Why didn't he mention this earlier!
It had just attempted, for the last time, to deceive Uchiha Madara, and here Akihara Kagura shamelessly revealed another historical record!
Damn!
Just how much stuff has the Ninja World left behind!
It still didn't know who recorded the bark for the Senju Clan, and Otsutsuki Hagoromo left behind the stone tablet, and even Otsutsuki Hamura left something!
"Now..."
"Do you have any last words to confess?"
The killing intent emanating from Uchiha Madara could almost freeze the air. Everyone could see how resolute this man's intention was to kill someone!
