Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 416 The Sage of Six Paths

When this high-pitched, piercing scream suddenly rang out across the empty, quiet plain.

Everyone was startled by the sudden turn of events.

Madara Uchiha, in particular, was completely focused on Goku and had no idea of ​​the scream that was so close at hand. He was almost startled.

Realizing what was happening, he abruptly turned his head to look at his arm, because the sound was coming from the black monster clinging to it.

"What are you doing?" he asked coldly, frowning.

Black Zetsu seemed not to hear his voice. As the mud fell from his arm and landed on the ground, Black Zetsu kept babbling incoherently, "No, no, no, why is this happening? Why can't I sense Mother anymore... Why? Is Mother dead? No, no, no, that's absolutely impossible. Mother is the creator of this world, an immortal being. How could she die? I must be mistaken. Yes, I must be mistaken." When the Infinite Tsukuyomi was activated, Black Zetsu could barely contain his excitement.

But the next second he witnessed the moon being blasted apart by an external force, and everything vanished like a dream bubble in an instant, a scene of extreme contrast.

That would have been fine, but what truly broke him was the complete severing of the unspoken connection between him and Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Although Kaguya Otsutsuki has been sealed on the moon and cannot contact him, he is a fragment of her will, so he and she can sense each other.

Now that the connection has been severed, combined with the scene of the moon being blasted and destroyed, one can conclude that Kaguya Otsutsuki has fallen.

The sheer disparity between the thought of her mother returning one second and her perishing in an explosion the next, like sunlight turning into darkness at the last moment, caused Black Zetsu to completely break down, resulting in his current state.

Upon hearing Black Zetsu's insane ramblings, Madara Uchiha's cold eyes widened in surprise and uncertainty.

What is he talking about? What Mother?

What's going on?!

Not only him, but Goku and Kakashi, who were not far away, were also completely dumbfounded, unable to understand what was happening or what Black Zetsu meant.

"Explain yourself, Black Zetsu! What are you talking about?!"

After a few seconds of changing expression, Madara Uchiha composed himself and asked coldly again.

He no longer cared about Wukong; he only wanted to figure out what had happened to the will he had created and what it was saying.

Seemingly certain that Kaguya Otsutsuki had truly perished, Black Zetsu fell silent after his incoherent rant. When Madara Uchiha couldn't help but question him again, Black Zetsu's lifeless eyes snapped towards Madara, and he hysterically roared, "It's all your fault, you piece of trash! Useless and arrogant trash! If it weren't for your pathetic pride and your foolish, condescending attitude, the Eye of the Moon Plan would have been implemented long ago! The Infinite Tsukuyomi would have been successfully activated! We wouldn't be in this mess today!!!"

If Madara Uchiha hadn't deliberately waited for the five great nations to gather their forces, they could have stormed in before the five great nations had time to prepare, seized the two tailed beasts, and started the Eye of the Moon Plan, instead of encountering various unforeseen circumstances as they have now.

Black Zetsu had always opposed this, but unfortunately, he had previously played the role of Madara Uchiha's will, and he couldn't change Madara's mind once he made up his mind. So he could only try to make the situation more favorable to them.

In the end, all of this still failed. Although the main reason for the failure was the sudden appearance of Goku, Black Zetsu still blamed Madara Uchiha for it. If it weren't for that idiot Madara Uchiha delaying for so long, how could Goku have come down from the sky and ruined everything!

This sudden barrage of insults left Madara Uchiha completely taken aback.

Waste, rubbish?

The will that has been separated from oneself calls oneself useless?

His facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.

Black Zetsu, on the other hand, was like a floodgate that had been opened, unleashing a relentless barrage of insults and abuse.

"Idiot! Useless trash! I was so blind before, why did I choose such a useless piece of trash as the executor of this plan? You're a lump of mud that can't be plastered on a wall! A complete idiot with no brains!"

Madara Uchiha's facial muscles twitched even more frequently. This was the first time in his life that someone had insulted him so directly in the face, to the point that his mind went blank for a moment.

But soon, he was shocked by the information revealed in Black Zetsu's words, and his expression became uncertain.

"What did you say? A plan? You chose me? You're not my will? Who exactly are you?!"

At this point, Black Zetsu no longer intended to hide anything. He smiled coldly and, as if he had nothing to lose, revealed the secret he had kept hidden for thousands of years.

"Heh, I am not the will of trash like you. I am the will of Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of the ninja world! You are merely a pawn I have chosen, a pawn brought back to life for Mother!"

boom!!!

These words struck Madara Uchiha like a thunderbolt, causing his pupils to shrink sharply.

Not only that, Kakashi... as well as Jiraiya, Tsunade, A, and others who had just arrived, were also instantly shocked, their hearts filled with utter astonishment.

A pawn?! Madara Uchiha was actually someone else's pawn?!

What on earth is going on?!

Seeing the undisguised horror on Madara Uchiha's face, Black Zetsu felt a sense of vengeful satisfaction.

With his mother dead, there was no point in him hiding anymore. In fact, it could be said that there was no point in him even surviving, since his birth was solely for the purpose of resurrecting his mother.

So since his existence has become meaningless, let's tell everything and let the world know how he has been lurking in the ninja world for thousands of years, manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

He wanted to let Madara Uchiha, that foolish and arrogant guy, know that he was just one of his many pawns, no different from the people he looked down on!

Before Madara Uchiha could recover from his shock and question him, Black Zetsu grinned maniacally and continued, "Not just you, the entire Uchiha clan, the entire Senju clan, and even their ancestor, are all my pawns!"

Do you know why the Uchiha and Senju have fought for over a thousand years? It's because I controlled it all! Hahahaha!

Madara Uchiha's pupils contracted violently, clearly he was extremely shocked.

Amidst his maniacal laughter, Black Zetsu revealed all the secrets unknown to the world, including Kaguya Otsutsuki's existence, her betrayal by her two unfilial sons, her birth and mission, and the origins of the Uchiha and Senju rivalry.

During this process, no one interrupted his speech. Madara Uchiha was like a petrified statue, his eyes glazed over as he listened, as if he had lost his soul.

Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others were so shocked by these unheard-of secrets that their minds went blank, and they were speechless.

Only Goku frowned more and more as he listened. Finally, after Black Zetsu finished speaking, he couldn't help but question him: "So, to save one person, you did so many heinous things? You hurt so many innocent people?"

Black Zetsu looked at him, his eyes sinister, his voice icy: "Harm? To be able to contribute to Mother's return is their blessing!"

After saying that, she glared at Wukong with resentment and said, "I just never expected that my plan, which I had been plotting for so long, would be ruined by you, you brat! You damned thing, you actually destroyed the moon and caused Mother's death!"

Wukong frowned again: "I didn't know there were people up there, and if I hadn't done that, many people would have been hurt. If you had told me earlier and hadn't hurt anyone else, maybe I could have helped you rescue your mother."

He was angry at Black Zetsu, but he didn't feel any ill will towards Kaguya Otsutsuki, whom Black Zetsu claimed to be rescuing. After all, he had heard from Black Zetsu that she was an innocent person who had been sealed away because of the betrayal of her two sons.

If Black Zetsu had revealed this earlier, he would have really tried to help this person. But now that the person has perished with the destruction of the moon, there's nothing he can do.

Perhaps... once he returns to his own world, he can ask the dragon for help to be resurrected?

Upon hearing Goku's reply, Black Zetsu froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and cursed, "Stop pretending! You damned bastard who caused Mother's death!"

As he was cursing, Madara Uchiha finally came to his senses from his daze, but his eyes were still somewhat unfocused.

"So it was all a lie? All along, what I've been seeing was a fabricated story?"

He couldn't accept that the truth he had once believed was actually a carefully crafted lie. What was he then? What was all that he had been pursuing for decades? Was it all a complete joke?

Not only him, but Obito, who was spying on the outside world from within the Kamui dimension and thus heard the whole truth, was also in a daze, covering his head and muttering "impossible" over and over again.

Two cold-hearted individuals who pursued a false peace suffered an unprecedented mental blow at this moment.

This blow is far more severe than Goku destroying the moon and the Eye of the Moon Project. After all, the destruction of the Eye of the Moon Project only meant that their plan was hindered, but the truth revealed by Black Zetsu directly destroyed their spiritual pillar, turning the belief they pursued throughout their lives into a joke.

"It's an unbelievable truth. The struggles in the ninja world for over a thousand years have actually been manipulated by someone," Jiraiya sighed with a complex expression.

"I never imagined that a powerful figure like Uchiha Madara would be reduced to a pawn in someone else's game." Onoki's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he spoke.

Madara Uchiha regarded him as his lifelong enemy, but he never expected that his opponent was a puppet controlled by others. This huge contrast made him unable to calm down for a long time.

Naruto clenched his fists tightly, staring intently at Black Zetsu.

It turns out that this guy was the real mastermind behind all of this. If he hadn't done these things, so many people wouldn't have died.

He felt both angry and sad—angry at Black Zetsu's actions and saddened by the deaths of so many innocent people.

He also thought of something else.

If Black Zetsu hadn't been instigating wars among humanity for the past thousand years, wouldn't the peaceful world that Jiraiya sought have been achieved long ago?

Just as everyone was reacting to the truths revealed by Black Zetsu, an invisible force appeared out of thin air and landed on the people on the field.

"Huh?" Wukong looked up in confusion, feeling a spiritual force trying to pull him away.

He sensed no malice in this unfamiliar spiritual force, only goodwill. So after thinking for two seconds, he separated a wisp of his consciousness and followed the other's lead.

After a brief period of darkness, Wukong's consciousness suddenly perceived light before him.

He opened his eyes and found himself in a dimly lit space. In the very center of this space, an old man wearing a white coat, with a pair of sharp horns on his forehead and a long beard that reached his abdomen, was sitting cross-legged on a futon, looking at him with gentle eyes.

"Huh? Grandpa, who are you? Did you look for me just now?" Wukong asked in surprise after a moment of hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice rang out from the side: "Where am I? Huh? Wukong, what are you doing here?"

Naruto looked around with a puzzled expression, and when he saw Goku's figure, he was both surprised and confused.

He had just felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and when he opened them again, he found himself here, which startled him. Now, seeing Wukong's figure, his uneasy heart calmed down considerably.

Before Wukong could answer his question, a new voice appeared in the space.

"Huh? Those eyes?! Who are you?"

Madara Uchiha, who appeared on the other side of Goku, stared at the old man sitting cross-legged on the futon with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

Unlike Naruto, who was unknowingly dragged into this space, he, like Goku, was aware of this power.

Logically, he should have resisted, but for some reason, he found that this force possessed a power that he couldn't resist, so he was half-heartedly pulled in, ready to see who the master behind this force really was.

Unexpectedly, upon entering, he saw an old man who possessed the same Rinnegan as him!

Could it be that a guess suddenly arose in his mind?

Goku and Naruto also saw Madara Uchiha, but this time they didn't pay much attention to him. Instead, they were both looking at the old man in front of them, wanting to know who this old man was and why he had brought them here.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, the old man finally spoke: "My name is Hagoromo Otsutsuki. You may not be familiar with this name. My other name known to the world is the Sage of Six Paths."

Upon hearing this, both Madara Uchiha and Naruto's pupils contracted.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki?!

The Sage of Six Paths?!

Isn't this the legendary founder of the ninja world?

No, wait a minute, Black Zetsu said before that Kaguya Otsutsuki was the true progenitor of the ninja world, and that the so-called Sage of Six Paths was just one of her rebellious sons!

Now, this legendary figure has actually appeared before them?!

Seemingly aware of their thoughts, the Sage of Six Paths sighed softly and said, "Only today did I realize that before my mother was sealed away, she created a clone of her will called Black Zetsu. This was my oversight, which has caused so much turmoil in the ninja world for so many years."

"I have summoned you here for only one purpose: to tell you the true history of the ninja world, and the reasons why I founded the Ninja Clan and distributed chakra throughout the world."
