"Black Zetsu..."
Uchiha Madara stared intensely at Black Zetsu, his body unable to move, only able to watch as his body gradually turned pitch black, like ink!
"What a pity..."
Black Zetsu's mouth curled into a sinister smile but said no more.
Originally, its plan was to use the more powerful Akihara Kagura as the vessel to resurrect Otsutsuki Kaguya, yet it fell upon Uchiha Madara instead!
"Although mother cannot be revived in the perfect body..."
Black Zetsu's body fused faster and faster with Uchiha Madara's, its gaze becoming gentler: "But as long as she can be resurrected, it is perfect..."
"!!!"
Senju Tobirama's figure instantly appeared beside Uchiha Madara, raising his hand, aiming to kill Madara with the Kunai in one strike!
Uchiha Sasuke's figure simultaneously appeared, wielding his Ninja Sword to join the attack: "Uchiha Madara is the sacrifice for Kaguya's revival, the vessel for her resurrection. As long as we kill him, Kaguya cannot be revived!"
However...
Uchiha Madara's hair was exceptionally powerful!
Black Zetsu controlled Madara's rapidly growing hair to fling them away!
"Don't waste your time, the revival process cannot be stopped..."
Black Zetsu's mouth curled into a sinister smile, its body continuously turning into liquid, merging into Madara's body bit by bit: "Once the Jutsu to revive Kaguya is activated, gather the Ten-tails, massive Chakra, and the coordinates from me, mother's revival will be unstoppable..."
With Black Zetsu's actions, more Chakra emerged from beneath the ocean, forcefully entering Madara's body, causing swollen flesh to grow rapidly, a result of Chakra expansion!
"Kamui!"
Kakashi Hatake suddenly activated his Kamui!
But he was horrified to find that his Kamui was ineffective at this moment!
"Do not interrupt..."
Akihara Kagura used Time-Limited Space Seal to block Kakashi Hatake's Kamui, looking at the scene before him with interest: "I have long warned Mr. Madara not to touch what doesn't belong to him, but he doesn't seem to heed my advice..."
"..."
Everyone present was at a loss for how to respond!
Even if Uchiha Madara cared about Akihara Kagura's advice, what would make a difference, could he watch Kagura gather the Ten-tails to destroy the Ninja World?
"You seem to have predicted I would use this method to revive Kaguya, Kagura..."
Black Zetsu's gaze fell on Akihara Kagura, pondering Kagura's actions step by step: "You predicted the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki would become the vessel for Kaguya's revival..."
"Mr. Black Zetsu, after all, I gleaned a lot of information from the contents left by the Six Paths Sage, knowing some odd things doesn't matter..."
Akihara Kagura's figure floated onto the sea surface, the water under his control slowly forming a massive chair, crystallizing into ice under the Bloodline of Ice Release composed of wind and water!
Akihara Kagura sat on the icy chair, resting his arm on the armrest, hand propping up his chin, his eyes even holding a hint of a smile: "Why worry about all the processes? As long as our end is good, that's enough, right?"
"Hehehe... you have a point."
Black Zetsu chuckled sinisterly, nodding slowly, this partner indeed being the longest-lived of all its partners.
To avoid becoming the sacrificial vessel for Kaguya's revival, it consistently used powerful forces, forcing Uchiha Madara along a doomed path that was a trap from the start!
But...
This wasn't a big deal!
"Madara..."
Black Zetsu watched Madara's consciousness grow weaker, speaking with a smile: "This destiny was meant for you; everything is merely returning to the original point, returning to the fate I had laid out for you..."
"Black Zetsu!"
Intense hatred flashed in Uchiha Madara's eyes!
Yet he couldn't resist the invasion of another will, as he felt another powerful consciousness about to awaken soon!
"Akihara Kagura!"
Madara's gaze fell one last time on Akihara Kagura, leaving his final words: "You little brat... you can't imagine the power of that existence... you won't escape either..."
"Don't worry."
Akihara Kagura raised his hand, a vine suddenly extending out, directly holding Kakashi Hatake's body, his gaze gentle and tranquil: "Soon, I will know exactly how powerful that existence is..."
"..."
Kakashi Hatake glanced at the vine upon himself.
Well.
Knowing is knowing?
Why use both Time-Limited Space Seal and the vine to trap me?
"Hashirama..."
More of Madara's body was being covered by Black Zetsu, his eyes almost obliterated, and at that moment he thought of his old friend Senju Hashirama!
Because when Madara activated Infinite Tsukuyomi above, he saw Senju Hashirama stepping forward and wanted to entrust Chakra to him!
But...
He could not accomplish it!
"Sorry, Hashirama..."
Dark liquid Chakra gradually spread over Madara's face, his consciousness sinking slowly, the final image seen by his eyes and mind was Senju Tobirama charging at him, full of murderous intent!
