Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History.

"This is where Madara was last seen..." Black Zetsu muttered to himself as he looked around.

He had altered the Uchiha clan's stone tablet, and he had been waiting for this moment.

He knew that once Madara saw the stone tablet, he would part ways with Konoha and embark on the path of the Eye of the Moon Plan.

So he patiently waited for Ban, intending to give him a lesson in ideology.

He was very skilled at this kind of work; that's how he persuaded Indra, which ultimately led to the two brothers becoming bitter enemies and never speaking to each other again.

It's a pity that Indra was a useless brat who never awakened the Rinnegan before he died.

At that time, he didn't understand that the prerequisite for the appearance of the Rinnegan was the fusion of the powers of both parties, and he wasted his time.

Black Zetsu immediately took action and began searching for Madara's whereabouts on the island.

"Only the combined power of Ashura and Indra can give birth to the Rinnegan. Only with the Rinnegan can the Gedo Mazo be summoned. Only with the Gedo Mazo can the tailed beasts be reunited and the Ten-Tails be revived."

"We need to get Madara to go and fight Hashirama Senju right away and steal his chakra."

Chapter 86 Old Man Barnacles Fishing, Black Zetsu Takes the Bait

Soon, he finally discovered Ban's whereabouts.

Ban was sitting in a cave, his eyes closed in deep thought.

Black Zetsu cautiously peeked out, observing from the shadows. "Something feels off."

His eyes flickered with doubt.

There was nothing wrong with the surrounding environment, but Ban just sat there, looking like he was waiting for someone.

In this desolate wilderness, who can I wait for?

For some reason, Black Zetsu just had this premonition.

"Forget it, let's wait and see."

After pondering for a while, Black Zetsu decided to play it safe and observe for a bit longer before making a decision.

After all, he doesn't need to gamble; he has plenty of time, and the right opportunity will always arise over the long years.

Just then, Black Zetsu slowly burrowed underground, intending to leave.

But just then, the spotted creature inside the cave suddenly stirred.

Suddenly, Madara, who had been sitting quietly, pulled out a kunai.

Black Zetsu was taken aback. "Nothing?"

Would a big shot like Madara Uchiha carry such a small gadget with him?

Moreover, what does he need kunai for?

To be honest, for a strong person like Madara, even a casual breath from him is more powerful than that kunai. He really couldn't figure out what Madara was going to do with that thing.

But then, Black Zetsu understood.

Without hesitation, Madara thrust the kunai into his own chest!

Black Zetsu's expression changed drastically!

Is Madara self-harming?!

No, no, no, you only had a minor disagreement with Hashirama Senju. Was it really necessary to end your own life like that?!

In that instant, Black Zetsu didn't have time to think, regardless of the reason Madara harmed himself.

He had to stop it!

He had waited over a thousand years to encounter someone like Madara; this was the closest he had ever come to the Rinnegan! He absolutely could not let anything happen to Madara!

On the other side, Madara, expressionless, ruthlessly plunged a kunai into his own chest.

Several times in a row, his chest was covered in blood and flesh, and he was sweating profusely from the pain, but he couldn't even let out a scream.

He had risked his life to force out the treacherous Black Zetsu.

After reviewing the memories left by Hashirama, he clearly realized that this Black Zetsu was extremely cunning. In the original history, it had always been hiding in the shadows until the moment he awakened the Rinnegan and surfaced.

He wasn't sure if Black Zetsu would come knocking on his door right now, but he didn't have the patience to wait and was eager to get rid of this major threat as soon as possible!

Since that's the case, let's just do the opposite.

Is Hei Zetsu pinning his hopes on him being able to cultivate the Rinnegan? Fine, then he'll end his own life!

Let's see if you can still pull out Black Zetsu!

With a cruel twist of his will, he stabbed himself again, and the flame of his life was almost extinguished, and his consciousness began to blur.

"Aren't you going to show yourself?" Madara secretly scanned his surroundings.

"Looks like we'll have to take something drastic."

Madara raised the kunai to his throat; with that force, he could have severed his own neck.

Meanwhile, Madara was already prepared to sacrifice one eye to activate Izanagi to transfer the damage.

That is, if Black never appears.

But just as he was about to make a move, his arm froze in mid-air. A dark shadow rose from the ground and silently wrapped around Ban's body, controlling his movements.

Moreover, a warm power flowed through him, using the power of Yang Release to repair the wounds on his body.

"They've finally arrived!" A barely perceptible hint of joy flashed across Madara's eyes.

"Lord Madara, what is the meaning of this?" Black Zetsu's deep voice rang out.

Ban struggled a few times symbolically, feigning surprise, and said, "What the hell?! Get off me!"

"Lord Madara, there is no need to panic. I am the embodiment of your will; in other words, I am you."

"My will manifested?" Madara thought to himself with a cold laugh.

On the surface, he still pretended to be confused, after all, he still needed to rely on Black Zetsu to repair his body.

Let's stall for time first.

"Why was I unaware of your existence?" Ban asked.

"Lord Madara, I was born long ago, and it was your incredibly powerful will that gave birth to me."

"It's just that you've been invincible throughout your life, and there's no need for me to appear, so I've always stayed behind the scenes."

“But this time you are facing a life-or-death crisis, so I naturally cannot sit idly by.”

Black Zetsu spoke eloquently, while subtly flattering Madara.

If it were the Madara of the past, he might have been fooled, but the Madara standing in front of him now was an Uchiha Madara who had already read the "script".

This kind of blatant nonsense is an insult to his intelligence.

Furthermore, he can spout such nonsense as being invincible throughout his life, yet he has never once defeated Hashirama.

However, Madara did not immediately expose him. Instead, he whispered, "I see..."

Seeing that Madara seemed to believe him, Black Zetsu further coaxed, "Lord Madara, you are so powerful, how could you suddenly have such a bad idea?"

At this point, Black Zetsu has revealed a flaw. As the embodiment of Madara's will, how could he not know Madara's thoughts?

Madara Uchiha clearly noticed this as well, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

In some time and space, he was actually fooled by this thing for so long!

He remained silent and began to stall for time.

Black Zetsu mistakenly thought he had touched a nerve with Madara, so he didn't rush to urge him.

Time slips away quietly.

A few minutes later, the wounds on Ban's body had completely healed.

It must be said that Black Zetsu is indeed somewhat useful; at least his Yin-Yang Release technique is extremely advanced.

The life force it provided allowed Obito, who had the Ten-Tails extracted, to live for a longer period of time.

While Black Zetsu's contribution was partly due to the residual power of the Six Paths within Obito's body, it cannot be ignored.

Chapter 87 Ban: How about starting with zero frames?

At that moment, Black Zetsu seemed to sense something as well: "Lord Madara?"

Madara Uchiha said calmly, "Get off me first."

Black Zetsu obeyed. The part of it covering Ban's body slowly slid off like black mud, eventually gathering again on the ground to form a pitch-black humanoid shape.

Ban glanced at it, then suddenly sighed, feigning a desire to confide in someone:

"Sigh, actually it was Hashirama who..."

Although Black Zetsu doesn't have ears, he still turned his head to the side, his expression focused, as if listening intently.

It was particularly curious about what could possibly make someone like Ban choose to end his own life.

But at that moment, Madara's expression suddenly changed, and he made a sudden move!

"Four Symbols Seal!"

Ban's face was full of arrogance. Could he even react to my zero-frame start?

Madara slammed his palm into Black Zetsu's chest, and sealing runes rapidly spread throughout Black Zetsu's body!

The Four Symbols Seal is about to take shape!

Black Zetsu's expression changed drastically!

Why would Madara attack me without warning?!

At this moment, Ban acted again, intending to add another Four Symbols Seal to form an even more powerful Eight Trigrams Seal.

Black Zetsu had no time to think further and decisively abandoned one layer of his body, instantly shrinking in size.

In doing so, it broke free from the unfinished Four Symbols Seal.

After escaping, Black Zetsu didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately used the Mayfly Technique to disappear underground!
