Uchiha's personal opinion

For some reason, I suddenly found myself unable to utter the familiar rhetoric and lies used to express loyalty.

"It's okay, I understand..."

Ashura bent down and stroked Black Zetsu's head, saying softly, "How could someone who calls upon the moon 'Mother Goddess' be an ordinary demon? Am I right...?"

"I...I don't quite understand what you mean..."

Trembling with fear, Black Zetsu stammered, "Lord Ashura, you..."

"Don't be so formal, I understand!"

Ashura's tone grew gentler, and the hand stroking the dog's head became softer: "It's nothing..."

Black Zetsu is even more terrifying!

It suddenly realized that something was wrong with Asura at this moment!

With this personality, how can he be considered Ashura? He's clearly a replica of the 'Ninja World Ashura'!

It's impossible for two brothers to be reincarnated into the same person!

"What exactly is your relationship with Indra?"

Ashura asked again.

Huh?

Alas!

Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief, but on the surface he still looked extremely surprised: "How did you know!"

"Could it be that His Majesty revealed my identity to you?!"

Actually, this was also a test.

Black Zetsu didn't know whether Uchiha Tokumitsu had told Ashura about it, but now that the emperor was far away, even if Ashura wanted to verify, it wouldn't be able to do so in time!

Besides, since Ashura could ask such a stupid question, it means that either Uchiha Tokumitsu lied to him, or he was just guessing!

Therefore, Black Zetsu decided to use his expertise in deception and trickery to take another gamble!

"I am the embodiment of Lord Madara's will..."

Black Zetsu glanced at Ashura and said with a somewhat timid expression.

"Madara...you mean Uchiha Madara, right?"

Ashura's smile grew even brighter: "He is the reincarnation of my brother Indra's chakra..."

"Is...is that so..."

Black Zetsu was both apprehensive and somewhat smug, feeling that he had once again fooled his own brother's descendant who had betrayed his mother!

Moreover, in this world, its methods of manipulation and bewitching do not need to be discovered by the Sage of Six Paths who is not quite dead, so it can unleash its full power to brainwash Ashura!

"I see, no wonder I always felt your personality seemed a bit familiar..."

Ashura looked pleased and gently patted Black Zetsu's head, asking softly, "So, what is your real name?"

"Black Zetsu..."

"So what is your relationship with White Zetsu?"

"I was modified by Lord Madara based on White Zetsu, but I have no power; my only possession is Lord Madara's belief and will..."

Black Zetsu seemed to answer honestly this time.

"Is that so? Then theoretically you're like a half-brother to me, right?"

Ashura's right hand remained suspended over Black Zetsu's head without moving.

"No, no... I am merely a humble vessel entrusted with the crystallization of Lord Madara's thoughtful consideration..."

Black Zetsu immediately feigned extreme terror, trembling as he said, "Lord Ashura, you are always right and great..."

That's good~

Ashura looked quite pleased, and his right hand, which had been hovering above his head, resumed its stroking motion.

Black Zetsu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Seriously, the entire Yu Yi family is more and more insane than the last!

Even the seemingly normal Asura can be terrifying when he unleashes his power!

"Since you are the embodiment of... will, then theoretically you belong to my junior."

Ashura's eyes narrowed into crescent moons as he smiled, and he said in an unusually gentle tone, "Then, you will obey my orders, won't you?"

"Your orders are my direction!"

Black Zetsu immediately seized the opportunity to climb up the pole.

Even if it goes against His Majesty's orders?

Ashura asked again.

Even if it goes against De Guang's orders!

Black Zetsu straightened his non-existent chest and solemnly swore an oath.

"very good!"

Ashura was very satisfied. "I have a task for you now! My most trusted Black Zetsu!"

"Please give your instructions!"

Black Zetsu immediately responded.

"I need this... well, I think it's an island, a topographical map of this island. I'm going to entrust this to you. Do you have the confidence?"

Ashura said.

"Mission accomplished!"

Black Zetsu immediately answered loudly and energetically.

"That's good! Go ahead!"

Ashura patted Black Zetsu's 'head' three times.

"As ordered!"

Black Zetsu immediately disappeared underground and began to get busy.

After Black Zetsu left, Ashura closed his eyes and sensed for a while. Once he was sure that Black Zetsu was far away, his expression immediately turned gloomy.

Black Zetsu remained oblivious to Ashura's linguistic trap.

In fact, unless one is like him now, the reincarnated being will not know about the existence of chakra, whether it is Indra or Ashura.

What's most perplexing is that after Ashura revealed Indra's existence, Black Zetsu's first reaction was to connect him with Indra. However, neither Hashirama Senju nor Madara Uchiha knew that their actions were influenced by the reincarnation chakra from ancient times, and they were completely unaware of Indra and Ashura, these theoretical 'ancestors'!

Therefore, Ashura can easily draw the conclusion that Black Zetsu is not, as it claims, the embodiment of Madara Uchiha's will!

Combined with her act of calling upon the moon to summon her mother goddess, there is only one possibility—she is a hidden descendant of the goddess of the rabbit, Ashura's grandmother!

Although this judgment was very bold, Ashura felt that he had touched the truth behind history. Coupled with the revolutionary journey that was about to begin, his originally calm mood suddenly became surging and his blood was boiling!

As for whether the Revolutionary Army existed in the Goa Kingdom or even the entire Great Island, Ashura did not want to delve into it.

It would be even better if there were no so-called revolutionary army, because that way he could seize the right to name the revolutionary army and even control its future direction!

……

"I still need to write books and establish my own theories..."

Ashura took out the book of virtuous sayings that he always kept close to his body and flipped through it. Then, seemingly lost in thought, he took out a blank notebook and neatly wrote four characters on the cover—

"The Path of Glory!"

But after thinking about it again, he felt that it was meaningless not to have his own name on it, so he added "Written by Asura" in a corner.

And the first thing Ashura wrote was—

"Anyone who tries to exchange virtual ideals for real-world loyalty is immoral!"

This will also be Ashura's next course of action.

As the saying goes, "If you want to take something, you must first give something." It is unrealistic to expect a group of lowly people to risk their lives to fight against a stranger.

Regardless of their level of knowledge or their level of awareness, Ashura did not expect those lowly people from the garbage mountain whom he had released into the High Town area to plunder to become his core supporters.

However, similarly, the best way to launch a major uprising without a mass base is to create common enemies and common interests.

The royal family, which Ashura despises the most, is the perfect target for his envisioned revolutionary process!

Even if there are many so-called wise kings among these groups, whether they are brilliant and powerful, compassionate and virtuous, or respectful and courteous to scholars, so what?

—Destroying you has nothing to do with you.

This is the choice Ashura made.

Whether it will succeed or not remains to be seen and needs to be verified through practice.

……

Driven by the shadow clones, the commoners who had returned laden with loot from the looting in the High Town area, along with the residents of the capital, were gathered in a square, anxiously awaiting Ashura's final approval.

"The doomsday approval has arrived!"

Ashura's first words caused a stir among the residents.

The commoners were mainly excited because they were now 'getting what they deserved'; while the residents of the main street and even the border towns thought the words sounded like something out of a cult!

But seeing the identical appearances but different expressions of the shadow clones all around, and the still-flaming Gaozhen and the towering volcano, everyone still bowed their heads and listened to the teachings from the bottom of their hearts.

"The corrupt royal family must be overthrown!"

Ashura continued to shout, "And what will take its place is the people of all classes united!"

"Whether you are merchants, artisans, farmers, or even scavengers from garbage dumps, from this day forward, you are free! And equal!"

"Awooo!"

Under Ashura's deliberate guidance, the lowly people from outside the city began to cheer.

Those whose identities or professions were not mentioned—especially the minor nobles and the defeated and fleeing officers of the garrison—felt a chill of terror rising from their feet to the top of their heads upon seeing this!
