Naruto: From Capturing the Main Clan to Becoming the Mastermind

Chapter 378 Madara: Black Zetsu, I've come to settle accounts with you!

"I told you, we didn't need to come."

Seeing Kaguya bound in the distance, Madara Uchiha stopped and said to Hashirama Senju, who had come with him:

"Since that kid is the so-called Child of Prophecy, it means that he will be the one to solve this crisis in the ninja world, and Kaguya is just a stepping stone for him."

"...Ban, don't tell me you believe in fate."

Hashirama Senju shook his head helplessly. "The future is something that people have to create themselves; we can't rely on vague prophecies."

Madara glanced at Hashirama Senju but did not reply.

He didn't believe it at first, but the actions of the Great Toad Sage and the current situation forced him to believe it.

However, he didn't believe in so-called fate, but rather in the power to glimpse the future.

Seeing that Madara didn't answer, Hashirama Senju also stopped speaking. He and Madara landed a short distance behind Hyuga Yu in a few instantaneous movements. Hashirama scratched his head and chuckled:

"The Sage of Six Paths gave us a technique to seal her, but since you've already taken control of her, do you still need Madara and me to seal her together?"

Kaguya saw the chakra on Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, and inexplicably thought of her two sons. When she heard Hashirama mention the Sage of Six Paths, her expression darkened. "Even in death, Hagoromo doesn't want to let me go? I shouldn't have left him and Hamura alive in the first place..."

"Did the Sage of Six Paths pass his power to you and Madara?"

Hyuga ignored Kaguya and glanced at Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.

The cracks on their faces disappeared, and their bodies returned to normal, clearly indicating they had been fully resurrected. This also meant that he and Orochimaru could no longer control them.

But that's not the point.

The key point is that from the perspective of the Tenseigan, the marks on the hands of the two people can be clearly seen.

The power of Yin, the power of Yang... The Sage of Six Paths gave them his power, which in a sense was a statement of his stance.

Hinata Yu squinted and shook his head.

"Thank you both for your kindness, but now is not the time to seal it. I have my own plans."

Having said that, he stopped being distracted and focused his energy on suppressing Kaguya.

On the other side, like Kaguya, Black Zetsu was initially heavy-hearted when he heard that the two had come to seal their mother. However, when he saw Hyuga Yu, who was focused on suppressing his mother, and Madara, who was expressionless, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hyuga Yu's fighting strength has been greatly reduced due to his efforts to suppress his mother. Uchiha Madara, this is your best chance to seal him away!"

Standing there with his arms crossed, Madara frowned as he watched Hashirama Senju and Hyuga Yu's negotiations come to nothing, then turned his gaze to Black Zetsu hidden in Kaguya's sleeve.

"So you've been here, Black Zetsu!"

Madara's tone was extremely unfriendly, his voice as icy as a cold wind, "All these years watching me toil for the Infinite Tsukuyomi, using me as a pawn, you must have secretly been gloating, right?"

Black Zetsu sensed Madara's aura rising to the Six Paths level and trembled slightly within Kaguya's sleeve.

He never expected that Madara Uchiha, who did not obtain the Ten-Tails, would receive his elder brother's power.

However, this is a good thing; it gives them hope for a comeback.

"Ban, you've misunderstood."

Black Zetsu tried to reassure Madara, "I'm not using you, but genuinely want to cooperate with you to create a new world together."

"Cooperation? Hahaha!" Madara sneered, "Your so-called cooperation is just making me a tool to resurrect Kaguya, and then discarding me?"

Madara's Sharingan suddenly activated, a dangerous glint flashing in his crimson pupils.

"Am I, Uchiha Madara, someone to be manipulated by others?"

"..."

Manipulate my ass!

Can you think back carefully and tell me who was manipulating whom?

Isn't it me who's been working tirelessly to assist you?

Black Zetsu cursed inwardly, but said aloud:

"Madara, don't you find it strange? How did Hyuga, a junior, surpass you? What makes him grow so fast?"

"Because his true name is Otsutsuki Isshiki, and like his mother, he comes from the Otsutsuki clan. That's a powerful clan whose goal is to cultivate the God Tree and eat the chakra fruit. If his mother is sealed away, no one in the ninja world will be able to restrain him, and this place will become his nursery!"

"And Hyuga Yu schemed against you before, don't you want revenge?"

Madara Uchiha raised an eyebrow, and Hashirama Senju also turned his gaze to Black Zetsu.

Then, the two of them exchanged a glance and looked at Hinata Yu together.

Hinata Yu remained calm, showing no anger or embarrassment at being exposed. He simply looked at them indifferently and asked, "Are you going to make a move?"

"No."

Hashirama Senju shook his head and said strangely, "You are the prophesied child personally certified by the Sage of Six Paths and the Great Toad Sage, how could you possibly be some Otsutsuki Isshiki?"

Madara nodded slightly, his face full of mockery. "Black Zetsu, the excuse you're making up when you're about to die is pretty lame. Instead of saying all that, you might as well just say this is my chance for revenge."

Black Zetsu: "..."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The Child of Prophecy? What the hell is that?

Furthermore, who exactly is Hinata Yu?

Even the Sage of Six Paths acknowledged it, so the opponent must be more than one style. Mother must have made a mistake?

Kaguya was also somewhat confused.

No, is the Sage of Six Paths blind?

How could Hyuga Hatake not be Isshiki Otsutsuki?

Look at how he looks now, his posture is exactly the same as Otsutsuki Shibaitsu's. He is obviously evolving into a stronger Otsutsuki!

Although she wasn't a good person and treated this place as a nursery, she had once thought about protecting the ninja world. However, the creatures of the ninja world were not happy about it. The toads wanted to seal her away, and even her own son rebelled against her.

Why is it that Otsutsuki Isshiki, who is merely on the opposite side of her, can so easily gain the support of those people?

Is confronting Kaguya Otsutsuki the politically correct thing to do in the ninja world?

"To be sealed away, or to fight in the spiritual realm, Kaguya, the choice is yours."

Just then, Kaguya's body was gradually enveloped in blue light, the flow of chakra was forcibly suppressed and guided, and Hyuga's words rang in everyone's ears.

"...They might be using you."

Kaguya gave Hinata Yu a deep look, then gave up resisting his power and was pulled into the mental space.

Now that Hagoromo and that dead toad have expressed their support, Hyuga Yu has gained two more powerful allies.

A direct confrontation won't yield good results, so let's see what tricks Isshiki is up to. In a mental battle, she won't lose to Isshiki either!

However, before entering the spiritual space, Kaguya quietly separated Black Zetsu using Yomotsu Hirasaka, leaving only Black Zetsu chakra in her sleeve to conceal her identity.

Black Zetsu instantly arrived in the distant desert, looking at Kaguya's motionless figure in mid-air, his heart filled with despair.

"Mother!" Black Zetsu cried out in despair, his voice filled with helplessness and pain.

"Hyuga Yu, I will never let you get away with this!"

He vowed that one day he would find another chance to resurrect Kaguya and take revenge on the ninja world.

"Trying to leave?"

Just as Black Zetsu was about to leave as quickly as possible, a cold voice rang in his ear. "We still have scores to settle."

Black Zetsu stiffly turned his head and saw Madara's one eye transformed into the Rinnegan, staring intently at him.
