[Alright, the character overview of Uchiha Madara is finished. Next, let's move on to the overview of the director of the ninja world, Black Zetsu.]
[According to the manga timeline, in the ancient era, Kaguya and her two obedient sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, had a battle that was so destructive it could destroy the world.]
[At the moment Kaguya was sealed, she squeezed out the last bit of her chakra and gave birth to Black Zetsu.]
[To put it simply, after an intense battle between the alien mother and her two sons, before the two sons locked her up, she gave birth to a 'premature' child.]
[This strange plotline… what could other directors from the Japan come up with? Even I can't imagine it.]
[Although Black Zetsu is indeed a weird species compared to the obedient brothers, at least the manga confirmed that Black Zetsu indeed calls Kaguya "mom."]
"Wait, one of the people fighting Kaguya… why do I feel like I've seen him before?"
On the screen, the battle between the two brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura, and Kaguya was flashing back.
Izuna looked at one of the brothers and felt that he looked very familiar.
In contrast to Izuna's confusion, Tobirama was sure of it.
"Did you forget? When we were just reviewing your brother, the Sage of Six Paths appeared on the screen."
"Sage of Six Paths? Are you saying one of these two brothers is the Sage of Six Paths?"
"If not two people who look alike, then it should be the Sage of Six Paths."
"...."
Clearly, everyone was shocked by this news.
They never expected that the legendary Sage of Six Paths would actually be Kaguya's son.
And he had a real brother.
"By the way, why is there a record of the Six Paths Sage in the ninja world, but no record of his brother? Could it be that he sacrificed himself during the battle with Kaguya?"
"It wouldn't be that simple. Even if he did sacrifice himself, there should at least be a mention or two."
"Could it be that there's something we don't know hidden in this?"
Izuna and Tobirama fell into deep thought.
Having a brother isn't exactly something shameful, so why wouldn't it be mentioned in the records of the Six Paths Sage?
The two of them thought about it, but still couldn't figure out why.
"You two stop thinking about the Six Paths Sage's brother for now,"
Madara wasn't interested in the topic of the Six Paths Sage's brother. With a rather annoyed expression, he pointed at the light screen and continued, "If Black Zetsu is truly Kaguya's third son, and I and Hashirama are the reincarnations of the Six Paths Sage's sons, then do we need to call Black Zetsu 'third uncle'?"
"Well, according to the rules, that would be the case. But, since we're reincarnations and not Indra and Ashura themselves, we probably don't need to call Black Zetsu 'third uncle,' right?"
Hashirama said, a bit uncertain.
After all, this was the first time they had encountered reincarnation.
Whether they should continue the relationships of the previous generation or even the generations before, he wasn't sure.
"Hmph, if you want to call him that, I won't stop you, but I definitely won't be calling him that."
At this point, Madara was a bit exasperated.
Here he was, an incarnation of his own will, which first became someone else's will, and now it's become the uncle of his previous life.
This was a bit too much of a leap.
Even someone with Madara's big heart was having trouble processing it.
"Big brother, you don't really want to call Black Zetsu 'third uncle,' do you?"
"It's not impossible, after all, it's just a title."
Seeing that his big brother actually had this idea, Tobirama immediately persuaded him: "If you call him that, then what about Izuna and me? Are we supposed to call him too?"
"Senju White Hair, you can say whatever you want, but don't drag me into this."
"Shut up first."
Tobirama didn't even look at Izuna and continued speaking to Hashirama: "Big brother, look, if you call him 'Black Zetsu Uncle,' then I'll definitely have to follow along. The two of us calling him that would basically mean we're acknowledging Black Zetsu's legitimacy. If that happens, then the Senju and Uchiha descendants... Wow, turns out the strongest connections in the ninja world aren't from Naruto Uzumaki, but Black Zetsu."
Just thinking about Black Zetsu made Tobirama shudder.
At this point, he still didn't know that Naruto Uzumaki, just like his big brother, was a reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, or he would have been even more shocked.
"Wait, who is Naruto Uzumaki?"
"That's not important."
Tobirama ignored Izuna once again and looked at Hashirama: "The important thing is, we absolutely cannot get involved with Black Zetsu. Otherwise, I'd be too embarrassed to act."
"Uh, is there a possibility that when dealing with Black Zetsu, you might not need to intervene, Tobirama?"
"…Alright, big brother, you're right."
Tobirama fell silent.
He admitted that his big brother Hashirama was right.
When it came to dealing with Black Zetsu, with big brother and Madara stepping in, there was no need for someone like him, a "second-line" player, to step up.
[When Black Zetsu was first born, he was a clump of black mud that could easily hide underground, so the filial brothers didn't notice Black Zetsu's birth.]
[The moment the old Black Zetsu touched the ground, he inherited the resurrection chakra from the progenitor Kaguya, the mother of all.]
"Hm? The origin of Chakra is Kaguya? Shouldn't it be the Sage of Six Paths?"
In the Third Hokage's time, everyone had just recovered from the shock of the Sage of Six Paths' brothers sealing their mother Kaguya and the Black Zetsu born from Kaguya, and turned to find out that the origin of Chakra was Kaguya, not the Sage of Six Paths.
This immediately shocked them again.
A series of shocks—first, second, third—they were about to have heart attacks from all the shock.
"According to historical records, the Sage of Six Paths only distributed Chakra to everyone, forming the Ninja Sect. However, the exact origin of Chakra wasn't recorded."
The Third Hokage tapped his pipe, and his face couldn't help but show a bit of annoyance.
"Old man, don't overthink it. Our enemy is Black Zetsu, not Kaguya, so don't worry too much."
"Heh, thanks, Orochimaru. I feel comforted."
The Third Hokage rolled his eyes, not wanting to talk to the guy who almost killed him.
Orochimaru didn't mind the Third Hokage's attitude. He extended his long tongue, licked his lips, and suggested to the group: "How about we let Black Zetsu off the hook and let it free Kaguya from the seal first? What do you think?"
"I think that's a terrible idea."
Tsunade and Jiraiya both shook their heads at the same time.
They knew exactly what Orochimaru was thinking.
He just wanted to study Kaguya, the origin of Chakra.
But is Kaguya so easy to study?
One Uchiha Madara was troublesome enough, let alone the final boss Kaguya.
One wrong move, and it could cost lives.
And not just a few lives, but many, many lives.
"Orochimaru, you bastard, are you even speaking human words?"
Izuna was furious.
He knew he probably couldn't beat Orochimaru, but that didn't stop him from noting this down in his little notebook.
Once things were over and Madara was revived, he'd find a chance to team up with his brother to deal with Orochimaru.
This snake was really infuriating.
"Fine, since you all disagree, I'll forget it."
