[The life of director Black Zetsu is not just a play, but an artistic journey.]
[From the tactics used in the fight against Kaguya to using various powerful figures as tools, his career was nothing short of spectacular.]
[In the end, he was forced into a life sentence, vividly and powerfully portraying the moving story of how one could be a guest today and a prisoner tomorrow.]
[In conclusion, Black Zetsu, as a true embodiment of Kaguya's will, is often excluded from being considered part of Kaguya's legitimate lineage.]
[But can Black Zetsu's long lifespan not be considered another form of Kaguya's true lineage?]
[Its high-level skills, infiltrating places as if there was no one there, have been referenced by many skilled directors who make movies, resulting in numerous captivating works. My friend who is quite curious about this, and those with resources can DM me, and I'll pass it on to my friend!]
As the video on Black Zetsu ended, Madara looked at Tobirama mockingly and said, "The video's done. Now, is it time for us to settle our own matters?"
"Do you really want to hit me that badly?"
"You're asking that now? Ever since you cut down Izuna all those years ago, I've been thinking about beating you every single moment."
"So, no room for negotiation then?"
"Exactly. No negotiation. I can't wait anymore. Let's find a place outside and settle this now. Don't worry. I won't make you feel pain right away. I'll knock you out first and then slowly destroy your body."
"."
Compared to Madara's excitement, Tobirama remained expressionless as usual.
Thanks to Tobirama's little stash, his treasury was quite well-stocked at the moment. Giving Hayashi Sora a piece of gold every month was nothing to him.
"What are you doing?"
Watching Tobirama skillfully take out a piece of gold from the desk and then somehow making it disappear from his view, Madara was momentarily confused about what exactly Tobirama was up to.
"I'm giving a tip."
"A tip?"
"Yes. Like when you're out shopping and see a talented performer, you can't help but tip them."
"...Alright, fine. But hurry up, I'm really in a rush here."
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush. There's still one more thing behind the scenes."
"Is there more content?"
"Yes."
There was no choice. Madara had to suppress his excited emotions and begin watching the next segment.
He initially thought the next content would be related to the video, such as reviewing or summarizing characters, but he never expected that the next content would involve communication with the future.
"Still, it's the Second Hokage over there who's quick, handling both Madara and Izuna."
Through the light screen, the Third Hokage's side clearly saw the surprised faces of Second Madara and Izuna.
(PS: To differentiate the characters, those from the Second Hokage's era are called "Second [Name]," while those from the Third Hokage's era are called "Third [Name].")
On the other side, the people with Tobirama also saw Izuna from the Third Hokage's era.
At this moment, through Hashirama's explanation, the Second Izuna and Madara both realized that the person speaking was the leader of Konoha from decades later.
After all, now that they knew there was a chance to travel to the future once a month, Izuna wasn't particularly excited, but Madara excitedly clenched his hands.
"There's Izuna here, and another Izuna over there. Two Izunas together—wow~ I have two little brothers now."
"Yeah, not only does the other side have your little brother Izuna, but even you're there."
One sentence from Hashirama calmed Madara down.
That's right, since there was Izuna in the other era, it made sense that he could be there too...
But...
"Why can't I see myself in the future?"
Hashirama shrugged and replied, "Obviously, things didn't work out over there, and in the future you didn't choose to return to Konoha."
"I see. Looks like the future me is already implementing the Eye of the Moon Plan, and it seems close to succeeding."
The person who knows you best is always yourself.
Madara, just from some small details, had already guessed what his future self was doing.
If he hadn't seen the light screen beforehand, and heard that his future self was about to succeed, he would have certainly praised his future self greatly.
As expected of me.
But unfortunately, he looked at the screen and realized that the Eye of the Moon Plan was just a scam.
That can't be praised.
Not only can't it be praised, but he also needs to figure out a way to remedy the situation, so that in the future, Tobirama brat won't use this dark history to ridicule him.
"Hashirama, when is the next time travel?"
"This needs to be decided by Tobirama and the other party. Only once they agree, can we travel."
"Great, I'll take one of those time travel slots."
"Wait, I want to go too."
Actually, Izuna wasn't that interested in traveling to another world.
But traveling to a world with another older brother—now that caught his interest.
No matter what that world's older brother was like, whether righteous or evil, he was still his older brother.
"Alright, I agree you can come along, but you can't run around everywhere."
Madara thought for a moment and agreed to Izuna's request.
To him, as long as Izuna was under his protection, there wouldn't be much danger.
So... it was time to enjoy the feeling of having two Izunas.
"Alright, the time travel is confirmed for tomorrow at 2 PM."
After a minute of discussion, Tobirama understood the situation on the other side and readily agreed to Jiraiya's suggestion of 2 PM tomorrow.
"This time, there will be a conflict with Madara and Black Zetsu over there. Be mentally prepared."
After giving the reminder, Tobirama looked at Madara in their timeline and said, "Aren't you in a hurry? Let's go outside and handle things now."
"Are you sure now?"
"Heh, wasn't it you who was always eager to beat me?"
"I do want to beat you, but with the time travel tomorrow, if you show up all injured, are you sure it won't delay things?"
"Don't worry, my recovery ability is pretty good."
Tobirama touched his nose and urged again, "Now's the time. Dragging it on won't help."
Madara gave Tobirama a deep look, a bit impressed, and replied, "Alright, it's rare for you to get tough and ask me to beat you. I'll agree."
Hearing those words made Tobirama feel really awkward.
What do you mean, "I begged you to hit me?"
It sounded like you could actually land a hit on me.
To avoid disturbing the villagers who had already fallen asleep, Tobirama suggested they go to the Death Forest.
Madara had no objections about the location and easily agreed.
Because of personal grudges, Hashirama and the others didn't follow them. Only Madara and Tobirama headed to the Death Forest.
The two moved quickly, and in no time, Tobirama led Madara to the designated spot.
"Let's make one thing clear, no large-scale jutsu, no eye techniques, and I'll only give you one minute."
"No problem, one minute is plenty for me to do a lot."
"Alright, then let's settle this like men, with our fists."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Madara grinned wickedly, clenched his fist, and charged at Tobirama.
"You want to hit me? Try again next life."
Tobirama also grinned fiercely, then in a whoosh, he disappeared from Madara's sight.
At the Senju residence, Izuna looked at the suddenly appearing white-haired Tobirama and asked in confusion, "Weren't you supposed to be with my older brother in the Death Forest? Finished already?"
"Yeah, your brother finished way too quickly. Didn't even give me a chance to enjoy it."
Izuna: You better be talking about fighting and not some other weird stuff.
Tobirama returned to the Senju residence, but Madara was left dumbfounded in the Death Forest.
This was just the beginning, and Tobirama already used Flying Thunder God to escape.
What happened to the "man-to-man fight with fists"?
Tch, what a disgrace!
"Despicable Tobirama brat~ You're too much!"
Madara searched around but couldn't find anyone.
If Tobirama was just using Flying Thunder God to teleport around, Madara wouldn't have been that angry.
After all, with his strength, he could barely keep up with Tobirama's small-scale teleportation.
But this bastard clearly just used Flying Thunder God to run away and go back to sleep.
That was really infuriating.
"Damn it, I was too naive and kind. From now on, I won't believe a word that brat Tobirama says."
