Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion.
However, Takeshiki did not answer directly, the golden light on his long blade suddenly dimmed. Immediately after, a Chakra hurricane condensed to its extreme quietly formed in his hand.
"Damn it..."
Upon seeing this, Madara retreated once more, and he immediately summoned other Truth-Seeking Balls to form a defense.
Boom!
However, before his defense was fully constructed, that ultimate Chakra storm had already erupted.
Along with the overflowing Chakra torrent, Madara was sent flying backward again, and his body plowed a long gully in the ground.
Under the agitation of the knife-like Chakra, his body was already torn and bleeding, and he looked exceptionally miserable.
If not for Ten-Tails' power constantly repairing his body, allowing him to continuously recover, he would look like a corpse right now.
"Just this much..."
However, Madara was still exceptionally tough. He quickly got up from the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth as he spoke in a low voice.
"I haven't reached my limit yet, I'm still far from reaching my limit."
With a furious roar, he quickly pushed his right hand forward, and in the next instant, infinite natural power, accompanied by the Ten-Tails' power, erupted with a roar.
Sage Art: Yin Release Lightning Dispatch!
Madara had no chance to absorb Hashirama's Sage Art, but Ten-Tails itself was a massive natural energy carrier. Having become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, he naturally mastered such power.
"Not bad."
However, Takeshiki, bathed in such lightning, seemed to be taking a stroll. He walked slowly towards Madara, smiling indifferently.
"I told that Ōtsutsuki Nagato a long time ago that your will is commendable. No matter what kind of enemy you face, you possess extraordinary courage. Especially when you have something to protect, you will unleash unimaginable power, but—"
At this point, Takeshiki paused slightly, and in the next instant, the Truth-Seeking Balls surrounding him shot out from behind him.
Pfft—
With muffled thuds, the Truth-Seeking Balls transformed into black staffs, firmly pinning themselves to the ground.
"You..."
Madara's eyes widened slightly, his Limbo barely had any effect before it was controlled?
"Don't try to fool me with such disgraceful tricks."
Takeshiki was still as calm as ever, he tilted his head and looked into the distance.
Hagoromo seemed to be in some trouble, and what made him a little amused was that he seemed to have forgotten about him and Madara.
Hagoromo had not included even his God Tree Clone it in the scope of 'discussion'.
'But it doesn't matter, the battle on the clone's side is about to end, and Naruto is almost done, so I should finish up too.'
Thinking this, his gaze once again fell on Madara.
"Aren't you curious about one thing? Your current state is identical to ours, and do you know who the so-called Sage of Six Paths truly is?"
"My current state... Sage of Six Paths?"
Madara didn't know what Takeshiki meant, but he was still looking for an opportunity. He had never thought of giving up or compromising.
"The so-called Sage of Six Paths is actually also an Ōtsutsuki."
Takeshiki smiled softly, calmly revealing a piece of information that made Madara's heart explode.
At this moment, Madara's mind was somewhat in a trance. He completely refused to believe any of this was real.
His body trembled slightly, and he looked at Takeshiki in shock, his face filled with disbelief.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about?!"
"Kaguya's Chakra, what are you still waiting for?"
But Takeshiki ignored Madara and instead turned to look elsewhere.
In an instant, a vast suction force suddenly erupted, and Black Zetsu was dragged screaming from underground by Takeshiki.
"Black Zetsu? Kaguya's... Chakra?!"
Madara stared blankly at this scene, and suddenly he remembered something Obito and Nagato had told him.
"Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki once said that Black Zetsu was Kaguya's power, and he also mentioned something about the 'truth,' this..."
"Madara!"
Black Zetsu was also stunned, he had been keeping his distance, waiting for an opportunity. He didn't expect to be caught at this moment, and even more fatally, Takeshiki seemed to be about to say something he shouldn't.
"Do you remember the 'truth' I once spoke of?"
Takeshiki's Chakra moved slightly, and Black Zetsu's body instantly stiffened, his eyes becoming somewhat unfocused.
"This 'truth' is probably not what you want to say, but since you took my things, then I'll trouble you to do something for me."
"Do something..."
Madara looked bewildered, completely unaware of what Takeshiki was saying, but soon Takeshiki continued with a smile.
"The so-called God tree is an important tool for acquiring planetary power, and once the planetary energy is drained, the entire planet, the entire world, will turn into a dead silence."
"Draining planetary energy... a dead silence..."
Madara murmured, covering his stomach in disbelief, was the Ten-Tails actually like this?
"How is this possible? If this is true..."
"So, that's where your so-called Sage of Six Paths story came from."
Takeshiki continued with a smile, and at the same time, he had slowly walked in front of Madara.
At that instant, Madara's breath hitched, and the Ten-Tails within him...
"Resisting? And resisting more and more fiercely?"
"Don't be surprised, I told you Ten-Tails is our pet, it's normal for it to fear me."
Takeshiki continued with a smile, as if he had done an insignificant small matter.
"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya extracted the planet's energy, but the power contained in this planet was far more than imagined, and some minor changes occurred."
"She chose to betray the Ōtsutsuki clan, and she also made a choice: to create God tree war machines to expand her military strength to deal with the Ōtsutsuki."
"So, guess what her army is?"
Madara listened to all of this in a daze, while Black Zetsu spoke with hazy eyes at this moment.
"Humans, to plunge all humans into the Infinite Tsukuyomi, using their bodies combined with the God tree's power to become an army to resist the Ōtsutsuki."
"!!!"
Madara's breath hitched. He looked at Black Zetsu in disbelief, then glanced at Takeshiki with a bewildered expression.
After a moment, he seemed to understand something and asked with some exasperation, "Who exactly are you? What exactly are you saying? What are those White Zetsu?!"
"I am the great Rabbit Goddess's third child. The White Zetsu are the humans transformed by the Infinite Tsukuyomi last time, only their transformation was not perfect."
"What exactly do you mean by this? What is your goal?"
"It wasn't perfect because it was interrupted. Hagoromo and Hamura, mother's two children, chose to betray her, and they sealed mother."
Black Zetsu's eyes were hazy, his expression somewhat struggling and pained, but he continued to speak.
"And I am the third child, condensed from mother's will. My goal is to unseal mother, and you are merely a pawn I manipulated."
"You..."
Madara's face became even uglier. He had no idea there was so much more, and even less did he expect that the person he had always believed in was actually someone else's pawn.
Suddenly, besides shame and anger, he also felt some fear.
He stared at Black Zetsu and asked somewhat hysterically, "What about the Eye of the Moon Plan, the Infinite Tsukuyomi?!"
"That is the key to releasing mother. Only by casting Infinite Tsukuyomi can mother be released."
Black Zetsu struggled more and more, but his words did not stop at all.
"And for a thousand years, I have been instigating the war between Indra and Asura, you are merely a successful pawn."
"..."
Madara froze upon hearing all of this. He hadn't expected the truth of everything to be like this, which instantly made his heart turn to ashes.
He originally yearned to end war and bring peace, but it turned out the root of the war was the Sage of Six Paths.
He thought Hashirama's betrayal was just an obsession, but Hashirama was the one who made the right choice.
He thought he could look down on all beings and make everyone his pawn, but in the end, he himself was merely a pawn.
