The Ōtsutsuki have very likely descended upon the Ninja World, and I must quicken my pace.
Black Zetsu looked at Madara not far away, he didn't have many pieces left to use.
"Why are you back?" Madara asked, frowning, upon seeing Black Zetsu.
Ever since Kazuki became famous, Madara felt that his plan had never gone smoothly. The ant he originally didn't think much of had actually grown to a level comparable to his own.
Madara had to admit that Kazuki's current strength was very great. The Chakra fluctuations from that battle six years ago were enough to make him take notice.
Even the Chakra fluctuations from his own battle with Hashirama back then probably weren't as terrifying as the battle aura from that fight. Edo Tensei is indeed a very formidable Ninjutsu.
Madara disdained Tobirama's character, but he was quite interested in this Ninjutsu of Tobirama's. Unfortunately, he had already burned Izuna's body, and even that pair of Mangekyo Sharingan had been fused by him, and those eyes were now in Nagato's hands.
He couldn't reanimate Izuna, which was truly a pity. Madara missed his younger brother immensely.
At the same time, he also felt guilty towards Izuna. Izuna had asked him to protect the Uchiha clan, but he hadn't avenged Izuna, at least not immediately. Instead, after losing to Hashirama, he had established Konoha with him.
Even though he was now on the right path, at that time, he had still failed Izuna. Even the Uchiha clan couldn't understand him.
Recent news from Konoha indicated that the calls for that brat, Kazuki, to become Hokage were growing louder, which filled Madara with mixed emotions. That was a position he had once longed for but could never reach, yet now it was being obtained by a junior from the Uchiha clan. Madara didn't know what to say.
However, given the strength Kazuki had displayed, becoming Hokage seemed to be a matter of course, after all, Kazuki wasn't him, and he didn't have Hashirama as his opponent. Moreover, to the Hokage and others, Kazuki was one of their own, with a clean background.
It's just that this brat, Kazuki, although an Uchiha, had lost the pride of the Uchiha clan.
How could they, the Uchiha, become students of the Senju?
Even if it meant becoming Hokage, it was unacceptable.
What Madara didn't know, however, was that if he hadn't caused so much trouble and had merely left Konoha, Kagami might have become Hokage. Because of Madara, the Uchiha's standing in Konoha had become increasingly awkward.
If Madara hadn't rebelled, logically and emotionally, Tobirama would have let Kagami become Hokage. The Uchiha clan had to produce a Hokage, but this Uchiha had to be influenced by his, Tobirama's, ideology.
Now, Madara wasn't confident that he could definitely defeat Kazuki. His current Mangekyo Sharingan was not his original one. Maybe if he got his Rinnegan back, the story would be different but his Rinnegan still needed Nagato's body to nurture it.
"The moon suddenly brightened greatly, and a terrifying amount of Chakra erupted from it. The specific situation is unknown." Black Zetsu answered honestly.
"Terrifying Chakra, huh? It's probably related to that golden light from back then." Madara showed a thoughtful expression.
Madara couldn't say he didn't care about those people on the moon. That golden light made him think of many things, and besides, don't forget, Madara's goal was to implement the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan. The moon played a huge role in this.
It seemed that legends related to the Sage of Six Paths all involved the moon. He also didn't know what existed on the moon. Moreover, that golden light, if he and Hashirama were careless, even they could potentially face danger.
"There's a possibility, unfortunately, the moon is too mysterious, and we don't know how to get to it." Black Zetsu sighed lightly.
He actually knew how to get to the moon.
However, he was very curious why such golden light could still erupt from the moon. It seemed the Ōtsutsuki on the moon were still there.
But according to Black Zetsu's understanding, it seemed Kazuki had tried to kill his way to the moon back then.
Thinking of the Ōtsutsuki on the moon, would he have learned the truth?
It wasn't impossible for the two sides to have joined hands.
Thinking of these possibilities, Black Zetsu's heart couldn't help but tremble.
If that were the case, the future Kazuki might become the biggest obstacle to his Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan plan.
Thinking about it carefully, it all seemed reasonable. Kazuki was very likely Hagoromo's Chakra reincarnation, and after going to the moon, he was recognized by those Ōtsutsuki, and then the two sides reached a cooperation.
Perhaps he needed to wait until Madara died, and then outlive Kazuki. Even Hagoromo was not immortal, and Kazuki was the same.
At worst, he would wait until Kazuki's death, then revive Madara and implement the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan plan.
In reality, Madara had also considered this. Although he was arrogant, he wasn't brainless. His situation was too bad. Even if he were to revive himself using the Edo Tensei, he wasn't very confident, as he wouldn't be at his peak after the Edo Tensei.
And Kazuki's Susanoo could reach hundreds of meters, while his own Susanoo was still a bit inferior to Kazuki's. Kazuki had undoubtedly obtained the Creation of All Things.
"Hmm, how's Fugaku doing?" Madara thought of Fugaku, this guy was originally someone he had prepared to cause trouble for Kazuki.
For this, he didn't hesitate to give some of his own flesh and blood to help Fugaku, plus Ryoma's Mangekyo Sharingan, Fugaku's current strength was quite good. He was still a bit inferior to himself before the establishment of Konoha, but it couldn't be denied that Fugaku's strength was still decent. But in Madara's opinion, Fugaku was a good pawn.
"He's made contact with Danzo." Black Zetsu said with a subtle expression.
