Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

Black Zetsu was full of doubts. Where did this information come from?

If he hadn't been suppressed to the point where he didn't even have the strength to speak, he would have definitely asked for clarification.

Madara took a few steps closer and stood in front of Black Zetsu: "Let me put an end to this trouble."

He raised his hand, ready to brand Black Zetsu with the Four Symbols Seal talisman, making it so that he would never see the light of day again.

However, Hashirama suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"Banana, wait a moment."

Madara paused, and although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of confusion.

"Spare his life." Hashirama said to Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu was also shocked. Senju Hashirama actually wanted to save him?

Madara frowned, "Hashirama, why is this?"

For a hidden danger like Black Zetsu, wouldn't it be easier to just eliminate him?

Before Madara could sort out the confusion, Hashirama said something shocking again.

"Only Black Zetsu can revive Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. If he disappears, Kaguya will never have a chance to be reborn."

"I want Kaguya to return to the world."

Hashirama's words surprised both Madara and Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu was shocked and couldn't believe it. He had no time to think about how the other party knew about Kaguya's existence. What surprised him now was that the other party actually wanted to help him rescue his mother? !

What a good man you are, Hashirama Senju!

What a good nephew! If I had known this, I would have gone to you long ago instead of worrying about it.

Looking at Hashirama, who had a serious face and was obviously not joking, Madara couldn't help but ask: "Hashirama, are you serious?"

"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"

"You're going to release Kaguya? And then let her use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to absorb everyone's chakra, and eventually turn us all into White Zetsu?"

Madara glanced up and down at Hashirama and said jokingly, "If you really feel tired of living, I can help you."

After saying that, Madara slowly pulled out a sharp kunai from his sleeve.

Black Zetsu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he stared at Madara with eyes wide open.

Uchiha Madara prevented me from saving my mother.

Uchiha Madara, bad!

Senju Hashirama helped me save my mother.

Senju Hashirama, good!

Hashirama glanced at the kunai in Madara's hand, picked it up easily with two fingers, and threw it aside casually:

"This little thing can't kill me."

Madara was speechless for a moment.

"So you were just teasing me when you committed suicide with a kunai?"

Hashirama coughed a few times and changed the subject.

He said seriously: "Ban, I do have my reasons for doing this."

"Do you think that everything will be fine if you destroy Black Zetsu and make sure Kaguya will never be able to recover?"

"What else?" Madara asked back in confusion.

"It's not that simple. Kaguya is not the only one from the Otsutsuki clan. In the near future, there will be other Otsutsuki coming to this ninja world."

"That will be another disaster! We must unite all the forces we can to fight against the foreign enemy together."

"Kaguya's power cannot be wasted. One more ally means one more chance of victory."

When Madara and Black Zetsu heard this secret, it was as if they were listening to a bizarre story.

Suddenly, Madara raised a question: "No, Hashirama."

"As a member of the Otsutsuki clan, why would Kaguya join forces with us to deal with her own people? What if she turns against us?"

Hashirama waved his hands: "No, Kaguya violated a taboo by attacking a higher-ranking Ōtsutsuki member."

"In their clan, the hierarchy is strict, and now everyone in the Otsutsuki clan wants to kill her."

In the Otsutsuki clan, lower-ranking members must obey their superiors unconditionally, even if that means sacrificing their lives.

Just like Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Kaguya committed insubordination. If she is not severely punished, what will happen if other Ōtsutsuki follow suit? Her death sentence has already been determined.

"Besides, we both have Kaguya's blood flowing in our bodies. I have Ashura's reincarnated chakra in my body, and you are Indra."

"We are the descendants of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths. From a certain perspective, we are related."

After listening to Hashirama's explanation, Madara fell into deep thought.

He didn't understand how Hashirama knew this highly confidential information, but just by looking at Black Zetsu's surprised expression, he knew that this dark thing was also unaware of the inside story.

But Hashirama knew it clearly, ever since the time he read Hashirama's memory of knowing the future at Nanga Shrine.

He seemed to understand Hashirama less and less.

After a while, Madara sighed: "Well, despite all the doubts, I decided to trust you."

"Hashirama, just follow your plan."

"I...will not participate."

Uchiha Madara shook his head, slowly turned and left, leaving space for Hashirama and Black Zetsu to talk.

He also didn't want to see Black Zetsu again, for fear that he would attack him in a fit of impulse.

After Madara left, Hashirama immediately unleashed the Myojinmon and released Black Zetsu.

Without the suppression of the Myoshinmon, Black Zetsu rushed towards Hashirama immediately.

Hashirama was slightly surprised. Did he still want to deal with him after knowing the truth?

However, Hashirama soon felt relieved.

Black Zetsu turned into a ball of black mud and wrapped around Hashirama's ankles, as if hugging his legs tightly.

"Good nephew! Let's go collect the tailed beasts now and rescue mom as soon as possible."

Black Zetsu was very excited.

"I will definitely convey these words to my mother. I believe she will not refuse our proposal for cooperation."

For the first time in thousands of years, Black Zetsu felt someone to rely on.

This feeling cannot be experienced when acting alone.

He once suspected that this was a conspiracy of Hashirama, but then he thought that Hashirama had the opportunity to get rid of him forever, but chose to release him.

Moreover, if it was Madara who said such words, he would never believe it, but it was different if it was Hashirama.

Hashirama, or Ashura, is a straightforward and kind-hearted guy. He is not the kind of person who would deceive others and is trustworthy.

Hashirama patted Black Zetsu and said with a helpless smile: "Don't worry, we don't even have the Samsara Eye, so even if we gather all the tailed beasts, they will be useless."

Black Zetsu was stunned, then suddenly realized.

"Well, my dear nephew, let's go find that guy Madara and combine the power of Indra and Ashura into one."

"You will get the Samsara Eye!"

Hashirama smiled slightly and said, "Let's go."
