Naruto: Talent Analyst-Chapter 195: Capturing Black Zetsu

"Wait, stop for a moment. What is the relationship between the content engraved on the stone tablet and Black Zetsu?" Madara interrupted.

Yuta slowly explained, "The content at the front of the stone tablet under Naka Shrine is left by the Sage of Six Paths... up to the Rinnegan."

"And after the content about the Rinnegan, specifically regarding Infinite Tsukuyomi and bringing ultimate peace to the world? That was added by Black Zetsu."

Madara excalimed, "Impossible!"

Madara's face darkened and he said, "Black Zetsu was created by me using Yin-Yang Release! Besides, does Black Zetsu even have the ability to engrave something on that stone tablet?!"

Ordinary Sharingan users can't interpret the content on the stone tablet at all.

Only those with Mangekyō Sharingan or Eternal Mangekyō can gradually decipher more of it as their pupil power increases.

The person who left the information on the stone tablet must have been incredibly powerful, at least at the Eternal Mangekyō level.

Does Black Zetsu have that kind of strength?

Are you kidding me?!

"Tsk tsk."

Yuta chuckled and said, "That's the pathetic part about you. Black Zetsu pretended to be your creation, and you didn't even notice. No wonder you were so easily fooled by him."

Madara's face grew even more grim.

At the same time, confusion clouded his mind.

If Black Zetsu wasn't his creation...

Madara asked, "If Black Zetsu wasn't created by me, then where did he come from?"

Madara frowned and asked, "And what did you mean by Kaguya just now? Are you talking about the legendary mother of Chakra, Kaguya?"

After planning the Infinite Tsukuyomi project, Madara had thoroughly researched the myths and legends of the world.

For instance, the origins of the stone tablet beneath Naka Shrine.

Since it was a relic of the Sage of Six Paths, understanding his history was crucial.

The stories of the Sage of Six Paths were well-known.

Defeating the monstrous Ten Tails, creating the Uchiha clan's forbidden Izanagi, and more.

Both the Senju and Uchiha clans traced their bloodlines to the Sage of Six Paths.

There were also the Six Paths ninja tools—further proof of his existence.

While researching, Madara came across ancient legends of a "Mother of Chakra."

The records were vague, but they described a woman named Kaguya who had once brought peace to the world.

Yuta ecplained, "The mother of Chakra, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had two children."

"One was Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths and ancestor of the Senju and Uchiha clans. The other was Ōtsutsuki Hamura, the ancestor of the Hyuga clan."

"Of course, Black Zetsu calls Kaguya his mother but in reality, he's just one of her creations."

Compared to the Sage of Six Paths and his brother, calling Black Zetsu Kaguya's child was a bit of a stretch.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to call him an Ōtsutsuki placenta.

Madara felt his brain grinding to a halt.

What the hell is this?!

Some kind of twisted family drama?!

The legendary mother of Chakra was the mother of the Sage of Six Paths?

And if that was true, wouldn't that make Black Zetsu the Sage's brother?!

"In fact, not only is Black Zetsu not your creation, but White Zetsu isn't either."

Yuta continued, as if Madara hadn't already been hit hard enough.

"You think you created White Zetsu by combining the First Hokage's cells with the Gedo Statue? You're completely wrong."

"If you activate Infinite Tsukuyomi, even if Kaguya doesn't take over your body, over time, the humans trapped in the dream will eventually transform into mindless weapons like White Zetsu."

"The White Zetsu you thought you created were actually humans from thousands of years ago that were mutated by the Infinite Tsukuyomi."

Madara's face fell as a wave of turmoil surged through him.

He slowly asked, "So, if I complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi, Kaguya will most likely be resurrected through my body? And if she isn't, humanity will eventually go extinct?"

"Exactly."

Yuta nodded and said, "And honestly, if everyone is trapped in an eternal dream, it's not much different from being dead anyway."

"If no one can ever wake up, wouldn't it be the same as killing them all? At least they wouldn't feel any pain."

"But in my opinion, it's far more likely that Kaguya would use your body to break free from her seal." freewebnøvel.coɱ

Yuta's eyes narrowed as he summoned a Truth-Seeking Ball, the glowing orb hovering in his palm.

"Black Zetsu is Kaguya's creation. He's survived for thousands of years, so he's special."

"It's likely that a fragment of Kaguya's power remains inside him."

"If you cast Infinite Tsukuyomi, no matter how much you try to resist, Black Zetsu will backstab you. Then, combined with Kaguya's resurrection, you won't be able to stop her."

That was exactly what had happened in the original events.

When Madara had been pushed to the brink by Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke, the God Tree had called out to him.

Kaguya's voice drew him in.

The moment Madara absorbed the God tree and opened the third eye on his forehead, it was already too late.

The Rinnesharingan on his forehead wasn't his. It belonged to Kaguya.

And once Kaguya had enough Chakra, she fully emerged, using Madara's body as a vessel.

"Black Zetsu... dare?!"

Madara trembled with rage.

Yuta said, "Heh! He's coming now. Why don't you ask him yourself?"

Yuta smirked and transformed the Truth-Seeking Ball into a black rod, which shot forward at blinding speed.

Boom!

The black rod pierced the ground, shattering the earth beneath it.

Black Zetsu, who had been sneaking underground, was impaled and pinned to the spot.

"W-What is this?! I can't move!"

White Zetsu screamed in panic.

"This... this is the Truth-Seeking Ball?!"

Black Zetsu's voice quivered with shock.

Wasn't this a power once wielded by the Sage of Six Paths and his brother?

The black rod lifted off the ground, dragging the immobilized Black Zetsu toward Yuta.
