[Back to the main topic, when the Infinite Tsukuyomi was successful, the scene that Madara hoped for in his heart had already appeared.]
[Of course, the animation team added some individual differences.]
[Tenten realized she was in an illusion in her dreams; Karin was constantly being tortured in hers. Wasn't it supposed to be a perfect dream experience for everyone?]
[Actually, this is all based on the individual's life experiences. Infinite Tsukuyomi played out a "struggle before reward" storyline.]
[In the end, Tenten became obsessed with it, receiving the treatment of being adored by everyone.]
[In reality, the unfortunate Karin, though being tormented in her dream, had Sasuke's companionship. Ultimately, everyone experienced a beautiful life.]
[But as for Madara himself, he had to stay awake to maintain the Infinite Tsukuyomi, directly eliminating the mundane grind of the real world.]
[At this time, Madara's role as a supervisor, occasionally waking the sleeping minds, or awakening some to continue the human race, was all for the peaceful world he once shared with Hashirama.]
[Imagine, in the vast sea of stars, there's a blue planet where everyone is asleep, and only Madara, the guy with horns on his head, is left alone, separated from his old lover Hashirama, which feels very much like tragic literature.]
[As for the Infinite Tsukuyomi without Kaguya's involvement, whether it's reliable or morally questionable, that's open to interpretation.]
[After all, "How can one know the joy of a fish, if one is not a fish?"]
[Instead of getting caught up in philosophical debates like "brain in a vat" or "Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly," my friend thinks it's better to ask those skilled artists online to draw what Madara, as the supervisor, saw in the Tsukuyomi world—like Tsunade, Mei Terumi, Samui, and so on.]
[Of course, I don't understand these things, so I'm not curious.]
Madara's video summary ended, and the people in Tobirama's office couldn't help but feel relieved.
One could say that this video basically revealed all of Black Zetsu's schemes.
The plan was to trick Madara into carrying out the Moon Eye Plan. Once the plan succeeded, it would then ambush and kill Madara, using his body as a sacrifice to resurrect the alien Kaguya.
Additionally, the video mentioned that Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara were actually brothers in their previous lives.
As in, real brothers.
They were the sons of the Sage of Six Paths.
This piece of information really caught everyone by surprise.
"You guys think, since the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths could reincarnate, what about the Sage himself? Could he have reincarnated too? Or, maybe he never died, just like Madara, and is hiding somewhere in some corner, watching over the ninja world?"
The words that Tobirama said were truly unsettling.
Yeah.
If Indra and Ashura could both reincarnate, and their powers were so insane, then what about the Sage of Six Paths, who was stronger than both of them?
It doesn't make sense for the sons to reincarnate but the father to be completely gone, right?
"Tobirama, don't get so caught up with the Sage of Six Paths. Let's focus on how to deal with Black Zetsu instead," Hashirama said.
The matter of the Sage of Six Paths felt too far away. Hashirama thought it was better to focus on what was right in front of them—dealing with Black Zetsu.
"What's there to think about? Just capture it and kill it, right?"
"Hm, that might not work."
Madara shook his head, dismissing Tobirama's suggestion, which surprised the latter.
"You don't have some sort of forbidden attachment to Black Zetsu, do you?"
"Forbidden attachment, my ass."
Madara was furious and immediately wanted to punch Tobirama on the head.
Fortunately, Hashirama was quick and managed to stop Madara, or else Tobirama would definitely have a bump on his head.
"What I mean is, Black Zetsu isn't exactly a human in the true sense of the word. If we try to deal with it the normal way, there's a huge chance we'll fail."
"True, Black Zetsu is at least the child of an alien, so it makes sense that he's different from us, the ninja world people."
Tobirama nodded, acknowledging Madara's words.
"I think you guys should stop overthinking it. In a moment, we'll be reviewing the videos about Black Zetsu. Maybe they'll reveal his weaknesses."
Izuna's words hit the mark.
Instead of just blindly guessing here, it'd be better to watch the light screen video first.
"No wonder you're my brother, so sharp."
Izuna sighed and replied, "It's not that I'm sharp. You guys are just too impatient."
Much like Tobirama's time, after Madara's video review ended, the Third Hokage's timeline began a heated discussion.
And Obito, taking Madara's place, informed everyone that Black Zetsu is definitely not human.
If we try to use human methods to deal with it, it would be completely useless.
"So, are we just going to be helpless about this?"
Obito raised his hand to calm Jiraiya down.
"No, at least I know of a method that has a great chance of dealing with Black Zetsu."
"What method?"
"Sealing Jutsu."
"Sealing Jutsu?"
Obito nodded and replied, "Yes, Sealing Jutsu."
At that moment, Kushina furrowed her brows and looked at Obito, asking, "You're not talking about the Reaper Death Seal, are you?"
"As expected of my teacher's wife, it's the Reaper Death Seal."
"But using the Reaper Death Seal would... Yeah, this is actually a good plan."
Kushina was about to say that using the Reaper Death Seal would cost the user's life, but then she remembered that resurrection jutsu exists, and she immediately had no more concerns.
"Let me go seal Black Zetsu then, I've been wanting to try the Reaper Death Seal technique for a while now."
Seeing Kushina suddenly get excited, Minato quickly tried to calm her down: "Using Reaper Death Seal isn't a pleasant experience. I have experience with it, so let me do it."
"Don't be stubborn~ Let me do it."
At this moment, the Third Hokage couldn't sit still anymore. He was determined to take on the role of using the Reaper Death Seal.
"Old man, don't interfere in this," Jiraiya rolled his eyes at him, scolding, "What do you know?"
After that, he turned to Minato and Kushina and explained his reasoning.
"I'm already this old. I was thinking that after I die naturally, Orochimaru could bring me back to life. I'll have my younger body again. I'm going to die anyway, so let me have this opportunity."
Kushina: "No way, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. I must experience it no matter what!"
Minato: "Kushina, stop being willful. Let me do it for you."
Third Hokage: "No, you two stop fighting. Let me do it."
Seeing the three of them fighting over who gets to die, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others were speechless.
Tsunade: "This world is getting harder and harder to understand. There are people fighting to die."
Obito: "Don't say you don't get it, I can barely understand it myself."
In the end, Tsunade couldn't stand it any longer. She grabbed the Third Hokage and gave Minato a look to calm Kushina down.
Tsunade: "Black Zetsu is an alien's son, have you all considered what happens if Reaper Death Seal doesn't work?"
Third Hokage: "What can we do? It's just death. It's not like we can't be brought back to life."
Kushina: "Yeah, yeah, exactly because we can be revived, I want to experience it. Ever since I learned Reaper Death Seal, I haven't used it once."
"."
Tsunade was speechless. She turned to Orochimaru and shouted: "Orochimaru, look at the mess you've made."
Orochimaru: "???"
"It's not my fault. If you want to blame someone, go blame the Second Hokage. He's the one who created the Resurrection Jutsu."
"."
