Takemi's expression beca a bit strange. This thing was buried unusually deep, even sensing it was difficult.
But it was useless to him, even to his God Tree Clone. After all, his god tree source had been nurtured with Kaguya's Chakra.
Quietly using Earth Release to rge into the ground, he soon erged from another spot, and he had an extra item in his hand.
"You really faked it…"
Looking at the wooden block, or rather, bark-like object, filled with ancient aura in his hand, Takemi was sowhat dumbfounded.
He hadn't expected Black Zetsu to play such a trick, wasn't this a trick only Tobirama could play?
"And, it's recorded so ticulously inside."
"It only explained the relationship between the Senju and the Uchiha clan, and also revealed the Ōtsutsuki surna."
"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Rabbit Goddess. It seems I scared him badly last ti."
Takemi stroked his chin. He now completely understood Black Zetsu's intention.
To clear his own suspicion, to highlight the danger of Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki, and nothing else.
"However, this does seem to be the Sage of Six Paths's tone, largely consistent with the Uchiha clan's stone tablet."
Takemi sincerely praised Black Zetsu's forging skills.
"And to emphasize the sense of antiquity, he went to great lengths, even placing it in an extrely deep place where no one could find it, but…"
Takemi suddenly showed a mischievous smile. Clearly, he had so new ideas.
"Since you changed the Uchiha clan's things, why can't I change yours?"
"For example, adding a section advising Asura not to continue fighting with his elder brother, and to approach everything with a peaceful mindset."
"For example, regarding your existence…"
Anyway, Takemi had already scared Black Zetsu with Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki. He didn't mind scaring Black Zetsu again.
Of course, he planned to hold back, just like how Black Zetsu also hid the Infinite Tsukuyomi as the core at the end.
He could follow suit, it wouldn't be difficult for him.
"After all, I was the Forging Sage at first."
And while Takemi was forging, Black Zetsu had already left Konoha.
He didn't choose to return directly but pondered the Hyuga clan's problem in a cave outside Konoha.
He needed to find soone to get a Byakugan and also needed to leave a Hyuga clan relic, which was sowhat troubleso for him.
"It seems I need to ask Obito for help."
At the sa ti, another figure also arrived outside Konoha. His face looked exceptionally old, and his complexion was extrely pale.
His Byakugan kept staring at Black Zetsu, and he thought to himself, 'This guy, he's also targeting the Hyuga clan?'
The Second Elder has been in the Ninja World with Toneri for three years now and these three years of suffering have been unforgettable.
On the moon, even without people, they still had puppets they could control to make their lives easier.
In the Ninja World, it was not just about wandering from place to place.
Not only did they have to constantly worry about whether the Tenseigan on the moon would discover them, but they also had to handle everything themselves.
The Second Elder realized for the first ti how difficult life was, especially dealing with those 'inferior beings' in the Ninja World, which disgusted him even more.
Moreover, his life was already short, and the feeling of his lamp running out of oil made him utterly despair.
"No matter what, I must do sothing for Toneri."
The Second Elder knew his end was near, so he decided to make a desperate gamble.
In three years, he had burned himself out teaching Toneri, and although Toneri couldn't see anything, he was constantly improving.
"Then, before I die, I'll prepare a new pair of eyes for him."
The Second Elder made up his mind. He knew where the branch that left the moon was, and he was figuring out how to get a good Byakugan.
Although he looked down on these so-called 'inferior beings', he wasn't worried that these people could cause him any trouble.
It was only how to withdraw and how to give the Byakugan to Toneri that he needed to consider.
"That black thing seems to be a Chakra product, and its target is also the Hyuga Clan?"
Noticing all this, the Second Elder began to ponder how to act.
He naturally wouldn't make contact, as he didn't trust anyone at the mont.
"But I will keep an eye on you. As soon as you make a move, my chance will co."
In the Land of Rain, inside the Akatsuki base.
"You an—"
Obito looked at Black Zetsu with a gloomy gaze. He pondered for a long ti before speaking.
"Konoha has also noticed the Uchiha stone tablet, and because the First Hokage and Second Hokage are in their hands, they are also searching for Senju relics?"
"That's right."
Black Zetsu nodded, and White Zetsu, beside him, blinked and said with a chuckle, "And they're digging three feet deep, you know. When we went to investigate, we noticed all those deep pits."
"Damn it."
Obito had a headache. This was definitely not what he wanted to see.
"How did they think of this? They didn't move before!"
"Probably Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki."
Black Zetsu glanced at White Zetsu out of the corner of his eye, he was quite cooperative.
"According to the investigation, I found that the Rabbit Goddess's surna is Ōtsutsuki. They probably have so thods over there, and the stone tablet has always been in Konoha."
"Indeed, we can't underestimate them."
Obito nodded. Even if he was annoyed, he had to admit this.
"So what now? Once they find it, it won't be easy for us to get our hands on it."
"Perhaps, we can do sothing."
Black Zetsu also pretended to be troubled, though he already had an idea in his mind.
"For example, create a disturbance in Konoha."
"Are you crazy?!"
However, what Black Zetsu didn't expect was that Obito's eyes widened at this mont.
"…"
Black Zetsu was speechless for a mont.
What the hell…
How did Obito beco like this?
"Have you forgotten your dream, Obito?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Obito felt a little embarrassed. He took a deep breath and cald himself down.
"My dream has never changed. I must create a new world of peace where tragedies like Rin's will never happen again."
"But you should also know about Takemi's trouble. If we provoke him again at this ti, then—"
"I know we shouldn't, but our goals are consistent."
Black Zetsu naturally believed Obito wouldn't change his goal. He also understood that his suggestion was absurd, but he had no choice but to do it.
"Once they find the Senju relics, whether they decipher them or not, we won't have much of a chance, unless sothing else distracts them."
"I can try to steal it."
Obito pondered for a mont and said, but Black Zetsu shook his head.
"What if it's fake? What if they seal it away? We don't have many chances."
Black Zetsu's words made sense. Who knew how that so-called Senju relic would eventually be handled?
The Uchiha stone tablet was known, but the Senju's things were different. If they were sealed away, it would be even more troubleso.
