Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

Black Zetsu was filled with suspicion. Where did this information come from?

If he weren't so suppressed that he didn't even have the strength to speak, he would definitely have asked for clarification.

Madara took a few steps closer and stood before Black Zetsu: "Let me eliminate this threat."

He raised his hand, preparing to brand the Four Symbols Seal on Black Zetsu's body, so that he would never see the light of day again.

However, Hashirama suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"Ban, wait a moment."

Ban paused, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of doubt.

"Spare his life," Hashirama said, looking at Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu was equally shocked; Hashirama Senju was actually going to save him?

Madara frowned. "Hashirama, why is this?"

Wouldn't it be easier to just eliminate the threat of Black Zetsu?

Before Madara could sort out his thoughts, Hashirama uttered another startling statement.

"Only Black Zetsu can revive Kaguya Otsutsuki. If he disappears, Kaguya will have no chance of being reborn."

"I want Kaguya to reappear in the world."

Hashirama's words surprised both Madara and Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu was shocked and even more incredulous. He had no time to think about how the other party knew about Kaguya's existence. What surprised him now was that the other party actually wanted to help him rescue his mother?!

What a kind person, Hashirama Senju!

What a good nephew! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered myself; I would have gone to rely on you long ago.

Looking at Hashirama's serious expression, which clearly indicated he wasn't joking, Madara couldn't help but ask, "Hashirama, are you serious?"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

"You want to release Kaguya? And then have her use Infinite Tsukuyomi to absorb everyone's chakra, ultimately turning us all into White Zetsu?"

Madara looked Hashirama up and down and said jokingly, "If you really feel like you're tired of living, I can lend you a hand."

Having said that, Ban slowly drew a sharp kunai from his sleeve.

Black Zetsu's face instantly darkened, and he glared angrily at Madara.

Madara Uchiha is preventing me from saving my mother.

Madara Uchiha, evil!

Hashirama Senju helped me save my mother.

Hashirama Senju, excellent!

Hashirama glanced at the kunai in Madara's hand, easily picked it up with two fingers, and casually tossed it aside.

"This little thing can't kill me."

Ban was speechless for a moment.

"So, all that talk about you trying to commit suicide with a kunai back then was just a joke?"

Hashirama coughed a few times and changed the subject.

He said seriously, "Ban, I do have my reasons for doing this."

"Do you think that eliminating Black Zetsu and ensuring Kaguya's eternal damnation will solve everything?"

"Otherwise what?" Ban asked doubtfully.

"It's not that simple. Kaguya is not the only one in the Otsutsuki clan. In the near future, other Otsutsuki will descend upon this ninja world."

"That would be another disaster! We must unite all forces that can be united to deal with the external enemy."

"Kaguya's power cannot be wasted; every additional ally increases our chances of victory."

When Madara and Black Zetsu heard this secret, it was as if they were listening to a bizarre story.

Suddenly, Madara raised a question: "No, Hashirama."

"Why would Kaguya, a member of the Otsutsuki clan, join forces with us to fight against her own kind? What if she turns against us?"

Hashirama waved his hand: "No, Kaguya violated a major taboo by attacking a higher-ranking Otsutsuki member."

"Within their clan, there is a strict hierarchy, and now the Otsutsuki clan wants her dead."

Within the Otsutsuki clan, lower-ranking members must unconditionally obey their superiors, even at the cost of their lives.

Just like Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Kaguya committed insubordination. If she is not severely punished and made an example of, what will happen if other Otsutsuki follow suit? Her death sentence was already predetermined.

"Besides, we have Kaguya's blood flowing through our veins. I have Ashura's chakra from his endless reincarnations, and you are Indra."

"We are the offspring of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths. In a sense, we are related."

After hearing Hashirama's explanation, Madara fell into deep thought.

He didn't know how Hashirama knew such highly confidential information, but judging from Black Zetsu's surprised expression, he knew that this dark figure was also unaware of the inside story.

But Hashirama knew everything perfectly well, ever since that time at the Naka Shrine when he read Hashirama's memories of knowing the future.

He seemed to understand Hashirama even less.

After a long pause, Ban sighed, "Well, despite all the doubts, I've decided to trust you."

"Hashirama, proceed according to your plan."

"I...I won't participate."

Madara Uchiha shook his head, slowly turned and left, leaving Hashirama and Black Zetsu with space to talk.

He didn't want to see Black Zetsu again, fearing he might act impulsively and make a move.

After Madara left, Hashirama immediately opened the Myojin Gate and released Black Zetsu.

Without the suppression of the Myojin Gate, Black Zetsu rushed towards Hashirama immediately.

Hashirama was slightly surprised. Did he still want to deal with him after knowing the truth?

However, Hashirama was soon reassured.

Black Zetsu turned into a lump of black mud, wrapping around Hashirama's ankles as if tightly hugging his legs.

"Good nephew! Let's go and collect the tailed beasts now and rescue Mother as soon as possible."

Black Zetsu was extremely excited.

"I will definitely convey these words to my mother, and I believe she will not reject our proposal to cooperate."

For the first time in thousands of years, Black Zetsu felt a sense of security and support.

This feeling is something you can't experience when you're acting alone.

He had suspected that this was a conspiracy by Hashirama, but then he thought that Hashirama clearly had the opportunity to eliminate him forever, but chose to release him.

Moreover, if Madara had said such a thing, he would never have believed it, but it's different when it's Hashirama.

Hashirama, or Ashura, is a straightforward and kind person. He is not the kind of person who would deceive others and is trustworthy.

Hashirama patted Black Zetsu on the shoulder and said with a helpless smile, "Don't worry, we don't even have the Rinnegan yet, so even if we gather all the tailed beasts, it won't be of any use."

Black Zetsu was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

"Alright, my dear nephew, let's hurry and find that guy Ban, so that the power of Indra and Asura can be combined into one."

"Then I can obtain the Rinnegan!"

Hashirama smiled slightly: "Let's go."
