Speaking of which, the so-called ultimate peace-achieving Ninjutsu, 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', is itself a deception.
'Infinite Tsukuyomi' originally originated in ancient times.
The aliens Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki were sent to the Ninja World to plant the God Tree.
During that time, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya sneak-attacked and killed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and then fell in love with the lord of the Land of Ancestors, 'Tenji', giving birth to a pair of brothers.
Namely, the later 'Six Paths Sage' Otsutsuki Hagoromo and his younger brother Hamura Ōtsutsuki.
However, the love-struck Ōtsutsuki Kaguya suffered a betrayal; to protect the children in her womb, she consumed the fruit of the God Tree and gained the power of 'Kekkei Mora'.
Afterward, to take revenge on the humans who betrayed her, Kaguya used 'Yomotsu Hirasaka' to link with celestial bodies in outer space as a medium, activated 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', and turned all humans into White Zetsu.
This is the truth of 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'.
As for Uchiha Madara, whether it was senility or something else, in his pursuit of his own path to peace, he believed the information tampered with by Black Zetsu and made the activation of 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' to create a peaceful world his conviction.
Poor Madara; in his youth, he was tricked by his best friend Hashirama into being the laborer for unifying the Ninja World, gaining no benefits and eventually ending up abandoned by everyone.
Not only was he abandoned by the entire Uchiha Clan when he left Konoha in a rage.
He also had a love-hate relationship with his best friend and was forced into a fake death.
In his old age, he was even deceived by that bastard Black Zetsu, completely fooled... The information Uchiha Obito obtained about 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' was also the same set tampered with by Black Zetsu.
He didn't even know until his death that the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' he had worked so hard for and held as his lifelong hope was actually just a trap set by the 'filial son' Black Zetsu to resurrect his mother.
At this moment, Uchiha Obito was clearly unwilling to tell the people of Konoha Village this information, fearing that once they knew, they would ruin the 'Eye of the Moon Plan'.
Although everyone in Konoha Village was pressing him for answers, Uchiha Obito remained stiff-necked and silent, appearing completely uncooperative.
"In that case, kill him."
"Take his head back; after some interrogation, the matter will be investigated clearly."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was angry and simply issued an ultimatum.
"Wait, Previous Hokage."
"Can't we just take him back? A living Obito would be easier to interrogate for information."
Kakashi Hatake grew anxious upon hearing this and spoke up hurriedly.
"Kakashi, I know what you're thinking, but I hope you can uphold the principles of a Konoha Ninja."
"Uchiha Obito is a criminal; his attempt to attack the Konoha Jinchuriki is unforgivable."
"Besides, he has a strange space-time Ninjutsu. If he accidentally escapes, who will be responsible?"
"More importantly, he isn't alone; his accomplices are still watching from the shadows."
Hiruzen Sarutobi lectured Kakashi Hatake with a stern face.
And his words were indeed correct. At this moment, not far from where the Konoha people were trapping Uchiha Obito with the Four Red Yang Formation, Black Zetsu's upper half emerged from the ground, quietly watching everyone.
"This is trouble; the Konoha people were actually prepared."
"If Obito is taken away, the 'Eye of the Moon Plan' won't be able to proceed."
Black Zetsu was somewhat anxious. He couldn't understand at all why the attack plan they had prepared for so long was discovered by Konoha, who even set a trap waiting for Uchiha Obito to jump into.
Now that Uchiha Obito has been captured, he will surely be executed unless something unexpected happens; the best-case scenario would be life imprisonment.
Specifically, the Konoha people will definitely find ways to interrogate Uchiha Obito for information.
At that time, the 'Eye of the Moon Plan' and his own existence would naturally be exposed to Konoha.
That would be very troublesome.
Although the power of the Konoha people alone would not be enough to kill Black Zetsu.
It would hinder the resurrection of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, which was unacceptable to Black Zetsu.
"I have to take Obito away, or at the very least kill him and take his head."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes, and then he quietly vanished into the ground.
Inside the Four Red Yang Formation, everyone had not yet realized that danger was close at hand.
From the information obtained in the Quiz Test, they knew of Black Zetsu's existence.
But in that piece of information, Black Zetsu was hidden, and those who appeared were all White Zetsu.
"Don't waste time, do it quickly, Minato."
Hiruzen Sarutobi turned his head and spoke to Minato Namikaze.
"No, Sensei!"
Kakashi Hatake shouted.
"So noisy, so noisy! If you're going to do it, just do it already!"
Uchiha Obito shouted impatiently.
Minato Namikaze had a complex expression, then let out a sigh, holding the fire god sword and placing the tip of the blade against Uchiha Obito's neck.
The scorching blade of the fire god sword made Uchiha Obito's neck feel hot, but the latter said nothing, closing his eyes and waiting for death.
"Rest in peace, Obito."
Minato Namikaze spoke, then suddenly exerted force and thrust the fire god sword down.
"Who is it?!"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
A large hole had appeared in the towering fiery-red light screen of the Four Red Yang Formation at some point, and a dark shadow squeezed in through the hole.
The sharp-eyed Jiraiya spotted the shadow and immediately shouted a warning.
"Eh?"
Minato Namikaze was also stunned; his fire god sword was blocked and deflected by a long black iron rod. A massive force surged through, making him almost lose his grip on the fire god sword.
"Go!"
The newcomer was naturally Black Zetsu. He first used an iron rod made of Truth-Seeking Orb material to break through the Four Red Yang Formation, then charged into the formation to block the fire god sword and save Uchiha Obito. He then grabbed Uchiha Obito and bolted toward the hole as fast as lightning.
"I won't let you get away that easily!"
Minato Namikaze, of course, wouldn't let the two of them leave so easily.
Swish!
The Flying Thunder God Technique was activated. Minato Namikaze arrived beside the two in an instant, and the fire god sword, carrying a scorching aura, swung down fiercely!
"I've been waiting for you!"
A sharp light flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes.
He knew that the Flying Thunder God formula Minato Namikaze had placed on Uchiha Obito would stay with him for life and could not be removed.
This meant that as long as Minato Namikaze lived, he could pose a threat to Uchiha Obito at any time.
Therefore, he planned to take this opportunity to kill Minato Namikaze!
Only if Minato Namikaze returned to the Pure Land would he no longer hinder the plan to resurrect his mother.
As the trump card for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's resurrection, the power Black Zetsu possessed was actually very formidable.
In the original work, he took down Uchiha Madara in one move; although it was a sneak attack, it was enough to show that his lethality was extremely high.
Keep in mind that even a full-power kick from Might Guy with the Eight Gates open could only break Uchiha Madara's bones.
Taking advantage of the gap while Minato Namikaze swung his sword, Black Zetsu forcefully threw Uchiha Obito out of the hole, then twisted his body and thrust the black rod toward Minato Namikaze's chest. His speed was unexpectedly two levels faster than Minato's!
The black rod struck second but arrived first, closing in on Minato Namikaze's chest in an instant!
