Meanwhile, on the other side.
Just as Hashirama and Madara were chatting, even though Black Zetsu wasn't eavesdropping, he still passively overheard this information.
At this moment, he was completely bewildered.
What the hell?
Uchiha Jin already knew the truth about the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and had long known about his relationship with Kaguya, and was even crystal clear about the two brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura?
How is that possible?
He was certain that not a single shred of historical data from a thousand years ago had been passed down!
On one hand, Ninja simply didn't care about history. Although they would record a little bit about their predecessors, such things never formed a systematic record. By now, many things had long since become myths and legends, and almost no one would believe them to be facts.
On the other hand, did they really think he, Black Zetsu, was just sitting around doing nothing?
He had been hiding in the Ninja World for over a thousand years and had long since systematically deleted all records. Therefore, he was absolutely certain that records regarding his mother, the Six Paths Sage, the Ninshu, and so on, could absolutely not have survived to this day.
So, the question arises!
How exactly did that guy, Uchiha Jin, know all of this?
Could it be the ability of his Mangekyo Dōjutsu?
But that wasn't right!
Although Uchiha Jin hadn't taken action many times, over such a long period, he had already figured out Uchiha Jin's Mangekyo Dōjutsu.
One technique could cause all matter to collapse at the molecular level, and the other could rewind his Mangekyo Dōjutsu Power.
This thing...
There was no way it could allow him to learn information from a thousand years ago!
Before Black Zetsu could figure this out, he then heard that the Six Paths Sage Hagoromo was not dead, that there were issues with the Pure Land, and other such things.
Damn it!
Hearing this, Black Zetsu was completely dumbfounded.
How is it possible?
That unfilial son Hagoromo, how could he still be alive?
If he hadn't died at all after all these years, then were all his actions in the Ninja World taking place right under the nose of that unfilial son Hagoromo?
Thinking of this terrifying result, Black Zetsu's heart sank instantly.
Subsequently, he heard even more—that Uchiha Jin's Konoha had already clashed with Hagoromo from afar, and they even knew intelligence about the Ōtsutsuki Clan that even he didn't know. At this moment, Black Zetsu really couldn't hold it in anymore.
Damn it!
This—how is this possible?
If all of this was true, then in the eyes of Hagoromo and Uchiha Jin, had his plan to resurrect his mother truly become nothing more than a—clown's act?
Thinking of this, Black Zetsu was so angry he almost fainted on the spot!
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Senju Hashirama, you're lying, right?"
"How could Uchiha Jin possibly know these things? How could that unfilial son Hagoromo still be alive?"
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it!"
At this moment, Black Zetsu was somewhat breaking down and couldn't help but roar out loud.
To this, Uchiha Madara merely smiled disdainfully. At this moment, the way he looked at Black Zetsu was like looking at a fool, and he even felt a faint sense of happiness in his heart.
He couldn't help it!
He had been screwed over so badly by Black Zetsu, and he couldn't even kill him when he wanted to.
But now?
Seeing this guy Black Zetsu also breaking down, and learning that he was just a chess piece as well, it was hard for him not to feel happy!
On the other side, Senju Hashirama wasn't as complicated as Madara thought. Looking at the broken-down Black Zetsu in front of him, he simply revealed a simple, honest smile.
"Um, sorry!"
"I'm not very clear on the specific details."
"Lord Jin will be coming over in a while, so you can just ask him directly then."
Although Black Zetsu had been an enemy moments ago, now that he was captured, Hashirama had lost his hostility toward him.
Therefore, his answer now was quite sincere!
Black Zetsu: "..."
Although he had long known about Senju Hashirama's personality, facing it now still made him extremely frustrated.
There was no helping it!
Facing a guy like this, it was hard to even get angry!
Just as the three were chatting, after a flicker in the ice and snow space, Uchiha Jin appeared there.
"Hashirama, how did the chat go?"
Approaching Senju Hashirama, Uchiha Jin asked casually.
To this, after Senju Hashirama briefly explained the situation, Uchiha Jin immediately looked at Uchiha Madara.
"Madara!"
"You know the specific situation now. Can you let go of your obsession?"
"If you are willing to join Neo Konoha, then I welcome you on behalf of Neo Konoha."
"If you are unwilling, that doesn't matter either!"
"But I still suggest you don't return to the Pure Land yet; after all, that is the Six Paths Sage's territory, and he is currently in an adversarial relationship with Konoha."
"So, what is your decision?"
Uchiha Jin didn't waste any words and immediately asked.
Indeed!
He didn't want to waste too much time. After all, he had already clashed with the Six Paths Sage, so in the coming period, there were many things he needed to busy himself with.
Uchiha Madara fell silent.
If it were the Old Konoha, he definitely would not have joined.
Although he was not as good as Senju Tobirama when it came to schemes and plots, he and Senju Hashirama belonged to the same type of person—those who could look directly through phenomena to see the essence.
Why did he leave Konoha before?
It was because he saw through the essence of Konoha and knew that only by letting the Uchiha hold power once could the Uchiha be completely integrated into Konoha.
But unfortunately, other clans were wary of the Uchiha and simply wouldn't let them rise to power.
That idiot Senju Hashirama couldn't see it, and that guy Senju Tobirama was constantly picking fights.
At that time, Uchiha Madara understood completely that the Uchiha had no future in Konoha.
Even he, the strongest of the Uchiha, couldn't become Hokage during the early days of the village's founding.
As Konoha's system became more established, since the Uchiha hadn't become Hokage at the start, they would be unable to integrate into Konoha.
Later on, they would completely lose the possibility of rising to power, and those other idiots of the Uchiha would have even less chance of rising.
Even... out of fear of the Uchiha, the other clans would make the Uchiha's end very miserable!
This was also the reason why he chose to leave Konoha back then and was willing to take the entire Uchiha Clan with him; after all, his younger brother Izuna truly cared about the clan.
But unfortunately, the entire Uchiha Clan were idiots, and no one was willing to leave with him.
Out of respect for Izuna, he was willing to give the clan a chance.
Since the Uchiha were unwilling to seize it, then he, Uchiha Madara, cared even less, and in the end, he left the Uchiha alone.
Facts proved that he had guessed correctly.
Later, Senju Tobirama took power and began to restrict the Uchiha at every turn.
Later, when Hiruzen Sarutobi took power, he didn't even bother to pretend.
If not for Uchiha Jin's sudden appearance, the Uchiha would probably have been wiped out by now.
Now, however, it was different!
The Old Konoha had already been killed off by Uchiha Jin, and the current Neo Konoha was created by the Uchiha.
After pondering for a moment, Madara nodded slowly.
"No problem, I'll join!"
