"You are very brave... or do you have the confidence to escape from my hands for the second time?"
Guan Liyuan stared at Black Zetsu who emerged from the shadows. The purple gem on his belt flashed a purple light, and at the same time, circles of patterns representing the Samsara Eye appeared on the "gem".
"Don't be impulsive, we shouldn't be enemies." Black Zetsu said.
"Oh? Do you want to say that we are friends now? Don't you think it's a bit late?" Guan Liyuan said sarcastically.
"As long as you can meet one of my requirements, I can tell you the true purpose of the 'Outer Path Demon Statue'! Believe me... This is not just a 'weapon' like what Nagato knows. Its true power will not disappoint you!"
Although it was a bewitching word, Black Zetsu's hoarse voice made people uncomfortable.
"Not just like what Nagato knows? It seems that you are just using Nagato?" Guan Liyuan questioned immediately.
The two seemed to have a lot of gunpowder, but in fact, they both hoped that the other party would not really turn against each other! Sure enough,
when Black Zetsu saw Guan Liyuan questioning immediately, he felt much more relieved - this is normal.
And since Guan Liyuan didn't act immediately, he had a chance to fool Guan Liyuan, just like he fooled Uchiha Madara.
"That's right, because only the 'Rinnegan' can control the 'Geido Demon Statue', the person I am loyal to is not Nagato, you should be able to guess who it is?" Black Zetsu said deliberately.
Last time when he fought with Nagato, Guan Liyuan revealed the secret that Nagato's Rinnegan was not the "original".
"Uchiha... Madara?" Guan Liyuan directly followed his words.
"That's right, because it was Uchiha Madara who truly awakened the 'Rinnegan', and Nagato was just a container for the 'Rinnegan'. Of course, I won't tell him everything." Black Zetsu said.
"Uchiha Madara is still alive?" Guan Liyuan frowned, looking unbelievable, like a drama queen.
At the same time, Kakuzu couldn't help but get a little nervous - as a ninja of that era, he knew that just the name "Uchiha Madara" had "magic power".
However, only Uchiha Sasuke was moved. Karin and Taketori Sora, who didn't pay attention to these things, didn't understand what this name meant at all.
"Dead, has been dead for more than ten years. But he left a backup plan for resurrection. The 'Rinnegan' has the ability to revive the dead, but the price is his own life... Even the transplanted 'Rinnegan' has this ability, do you understand what I mean?" Black Zetsu said.
Not to mention Guan Liyuan, Sasuke and Kakuzu also guessed that Uchiha Madara should have left a backup plan to use Nagato to revive, and even guessed that it might be related to Obito and the Black Zetsu in front of him!
As for Karin and Taketori Sora... they didn't listen to what Black Zetsu said in front of them. The former hid behind Guan Liyuan to ensure that if a fight broke out later, his "position" would be safe, while the latter was rubbing his hands, thinking: Why haven't they fought yet?
"You actually revealed Uchiha Madara's plan so easily. It seems that the person you are loyal to is not Uchiha Madara." Guan Liyuan said coldly.
"That's right, I am only loyal to my creator and the mission given to me!" Black Zetsu said seriously.
Guan Liyuan was stunned when he heard this, and almost revealed his flaws - how could this guy betray Kaguya so easily? This is not his character, right? The logic is not making sense!
"The person who 'created' you is..." Guan Liyuan asked, while thinking about what kind of routine this is?
"The one who created me is not a 'human', but an 'immortal'! The Sage of Six Paths!" Black Zetsu said heroically.
Guan Liyuan spat out three liters of blood in his heart, thinking: Now the logic makes sense!
This guy is not going to tell the truth, but to change his way of lying.
"Six Paths Sage?" Guan Liyuan pretended to be enlightened. Although he was speechless about Black Zetsu's integrity, it was better to cooperate with him now.
"That's right, it's the owner of the first generation of Samsara Eye! Since you can live in harmony with the tailed beasts, you should be able to learn about the Six Paths Sage from them, right? In addition to the Samsara Eye, the Six Paths Sage's power comes more from the tailed beasts... but not the nine tailed beasts today, but the incarnation of the sacred tree - the Ten Tails!
It is the power of the Ten Tails Jinchuriki that allows the Six Paths Sage to sweep across the ancient demon gods, and only the Samsara Eye can control this power. You are different from Nagato. You use your own power to open your Samsara Eye, and the 'Outer Path Demon Statue' as the body of the Ten Tails is now in your hands..." Black Zetsu said with bewitching.
"Why do I feel... that you don't seem to be very respectful to the 'Six Paths Sage'?"
Guan Liyuan didn't want to question Black Zetsu too much, but... his performance was too obvious!
Black Zetsu's heart jumped when he heard this - after all, in his heart, Otsutsuki Hagoromo was the culprit who caused his mother to be sealed, and Black Zetsu hated the brothers Hagoromo and Hamura in his heart.
Therefore, he unconsciously revealed his disapproval of the "Six Paths Sage"...
But what relieved both him and Guan Liyuan was that Black Zetsu had thousands of years of experience after all, and he reacted immediately and made amends: "That's right, because after the Six Paths Sage created me, he told me to be loyal to my mission, not to him, and the Six Paths Sage created me before his death, so I only saw him for the last time..."
Seeing that what he made up seemed to be true, Guan Liyuan relaxed a little, and then asked: "Mission? What mission?"
"The mission given to me by the Six Paths Sage is to assist him to become the second generation of Six Paths Sage when the 'Rinnegan' reappears in the world, and... to pass on the spirit of the Ninja Clan! Make chakra a bridge for mutual understanding among people, rather than a tool to hurt each other!" Black Zetsu said righteously.
Guan Liyuan, who knew the truth, was so shocked by Black Zetsu's "righteousness" that he almost cried...
But he still tried to suppress his discomfort and said, "Oh? Why did you choose Uchiha Madara before, but choose me now?"
"I didn't choose anyone... I just followed what the Six Paths Sage said. I am willing to be loyal to and guide anyone who is willing to inherit the spirit of the Shinobi Sect." Black Zetsu said seriously.
"Will Uchiha Madara inherit the spirit of 'mutual understanding'?" Without Guan Liyuan's questioning, Kakuzu was the first to disagree.
As a person who came from the end of the Warring States Period, Kakuzu knew that Uchiha Madara was definitely not such a person! Black Zetsu seemed to be telling a joke!
"No, Uchiha Madara is the most talented person I have ever seen after the Six Paths Sage! He proved to me that he can do what the Six Paths Sage failed to do... The Shinobi Sect of the Six Paths Sage was destroyed by the internal strife between his two sons after his death, and the world once again fell into thousands of years of turmoil and chaos!
But Uchiha Madara thought of another way, that is to use a huge illusion, 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'... You should know what 'Tsukuyomi' is, right? 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' is to use the power of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki to project 'Tsukuyomi' onto the entire moon, so that all people in the ninja world will fall into a permanent illusion, in which everyone's minds are connected, and there will be no more wars..."
Guan Liyuan did not expect that Black Zetsu would expose Uchiha Madara's plan at this time - this plan was originally Kaguya's, and Madara's idea was also related to Black Zetsu's guidance.
But this is good news, which proves that Black Zetsu is very optimistic about Guan Liyuan now!
"Interesting, but I don't need that kind of 'jutsu' to control." Sasuke said coldly.
"Madman... Can this be regarded as 'mutual understanding among everyone'?" Kakuzu was a little at a loss for words, and he really felt that Black Zetsu's logic was completely different from that of normal people. He believed most of the statement that he was "the creation of the Six Paths Sage."
"I don't think this is a good idea either. "Guan Liyuan also shook his head.
"It doesn't matter. Your Renewal Federation seems to have its own ideas. As long as you can eventually realize a world where 'everyone understands each other', you will have inherited the spirit of the Ninja Clan and the will of the Six Paths Sage... just like your current slogan, 'Chakra cultivation is the innate power given to everyone by the Six Paths Sage, and the Shadow and the King are inviolable'?
The Six Paths Sage never said this, but... as long as you can inherit the will of the Six Paths Sage, I am willing to assist you in any way. Although I am still observing whether you can inherit it, since you have opened the Rinnegan and have obtained the 'Outer Path Demon Statue', I have to say that you are now closer to becoming the second Six Paths Sage than Uchiha Madara.
I can first teach you some of the real ways to activate the Outer Path Demon Statue..." Black Zetsu looked as if he still needed to be tested.
Guan Liyuan later contacted Sadaharu and the others to indirectly test Black Zetsu... To be precise, it was to prove to Black Zetsu that he really knew the "Six Paths Sage" very well.
Therefore, even though Sadaharu and the others questioned the will of the "old man" and that he was definitely not an anti-human thing like the "Infinite Tsukuyomi", after hearing Black Zetsu's logic, they all believed that he was the creation of the "Six Paths Sage". It's just that... this guy's brain is obviously problematic!
Black Zetsu only responded to Guan Liyuan's "test". He felt that this was exactly what he wanted, because he even knew Hagoromo better than the tailed beasts.
After all, the tailed beasts were separated from the Ten Tails when the Six Paths Sage was about to die, and Black Zetsu had been secretly paying attention to the existence of the Six Paths Sage since he sealed "Otsutsuki Kaguya" before the Six Paths Sage became the Ten Tails Jinchuriki.
And because Black Zetsu himself did not regard himself as a human being, but claimed to be "the creation of the Six Paths Sage", his extreme logic also proved his identity and was not suspicious - after all, it was normal for something that was "created" to be "stubborn".
"Now you don't seem to show me that, like the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi', I feel that the ideal of 'everyone understanding each other' can be truly realized, so... I can only teach you with reservations the way to revive the Ten Tails.
I hope that this power can enable you to explore the path that can truly realize the spirit of the Shinobi Sect. At that time, I will guide you on behalf of the Six Paths Sage on how to become the second 'Ten Tails Jinchuriki' and the second 'Six Paths Sage'. "Black Zetsu said.
If Guan Liyuan had not had the experience of the "original work", he would have been fooled by this guy...
At least when Guan Liyuan asked Kakuzu for his opinion, even this old fox had already believed Black Zetsu's statement about 70% to 80%, and had not found anything suspicious for the time being. The last two or three points of suspicion were merely the product of "unreliable" inference.
People like Taketori Sora and Karin are now completely convinced that their "Grand Speaker" has obtained the guidance of the creation of the Six Paths Sage and is about to become the "successor" of the Six Paths Sage!
Afterwards, Black Zetsu did teach Guan Liyuan how to seal the tailed beasts into the "Outer Path Statue", and also explained that the "Outer Path Statue" is the body of the Ten Tails, and that sealing the nine tailed beasts back can reawaken the Ten Tails. However, at the same time, a lot of things were omitted-for example, the name "Kaguya-hime" never appeared from beginning to end.
"To seal the nine tailed beasts, are you sure that only the body is needed? "Guan Liyuan confirmed again and again.
Guan Liyuan had no intention of using Sadaharu and the others as "sacrifices"...
"From the current perspective, if it is only part of the tailed beasts' chakra, the resurrected 'Ten Tails' will have great defects. If the nine tailed beasts only use part of the chakra, I am afraid that the ability of the resurrected 'Ten Tails' will be quite limited, and after a certain period of activity, it will become an empty shell again.
However... the tailed beast body you created is not essentially incomplete chakra. Except for the lack of thinking, it is the same as the real tailed beast body. Even the four semi-finished bodies that were sealed are still constantly 'resurrecting'. When the four eyes are fully opened, the 'Geido Statue' will be equivalent to really absorbing the four tailed beasts! "Black Zetsu said.
That's right, Black Zetsu also explained why the eyes of the "Gei Path Demon Statue" opened so much just by sealing the chakra in a prototype body that was not that huge!
According to Black Zetsu, when the four bodies were just sealed, the corresponding eyes were only opened with a slit.
If it were an "equal amount" of chakra fragments, the "Gei Path Demon Statue" could only revive to this extent, and if its power was used, it would also consume the chakra of the tailed beast that had been sealed in.
But what is sealed now is the "tailed beast body". In theory, this thing is a complete body that was not fully developed and was summoned again and its will left. Therefore, after being sealed or returning to the "Gei Path Demon Statue", the part that was not "fully developed" was gradually recovering...
That's why Guan Liyuan saw later that the corresponding "eyes" were already half open.
"But if all of them use this kind of body, will there be any problems with the consciousness of the resurrected Ten Tails, I don't know. "Black Zetsu said.
Indeed, the current "Outer Path Demon Statue" is more like a "weapon" than a tailed beast. It is all an unconscious empty shell. Will the resurrected Ten-Tails be just a big toy?
After all, it was the guy who fooled Uchiha Madara. Black Zetsu is now showing that he is still very considerate of Guan Liyuan...
Although he "reluctantly" proposed something like "I will not teach you how to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki before you find a way to inherit the Ninja Clan", Guan Liyuan believes that after the Ten-Tails is resurrected, Black Zetsu will be more anxious to teach him than himself.
Only by entering the state of a perfect Ten-Tails Jinchuriki can he be qualified to become the "sacrifice for the resurrection of Princess Kaguya"!
With their own ulterior motives, Guan Liyuan and Black Zetsu "chatted and laughed", and both believed that the other had believed in them...
