Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too arrogant

Chapter 480 Madara's Revenge

Madara Uchiha sat cross-legged on the spot, his Rinnegan fixed on the ancient mirror that floated between him and Black Zetsu's soul.

The scene was reflected on the mirror. Madara's face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and the murderous intent emanating from him made the surrounding air thick and cold.

Just now, that common sense about the basic rules of the Pure Land also flooded into his consciousness. He immediately understood the purpose of this mirror—to reflect everything about the soul's past life.

Madara had no interest in recounting his life story. The first thing he did was to reach out without hesitation and pluck the [Mirror of Cause and Effect] from the still-unawakened Black Zetsu's semi-transparent soul.

What he wanted to see was this filthy life story.

The content displayed in the mirror perfectly matched the truth revealed by the Sage of Six Paths, but it was all the more impactful because it was "witnessed" firsthand.

He witnessed the moment Black Zetsu was born—on that desolate battlefield where chakra surged, he saw his mother Kaguya sealed away by her two sons in her final moments. The twisted black liquid that condensed was filled with the most primal resentment and obsession.

He saw how Black Zetsu, through whispered revelations, planted a seed of obsession with power and solitude in Indra's heart, subtly driving apart the two brothers who could have walked hand in hand, allowing suspicion and antagonism to take root and sprout.

He saw how Black Zetsu found the stone tablet that the Uchiha clan had worshipped for generations, altered the true words left by the Sage of Six Paths on it, and replaced them with a sweet poison about "Infinite Tsukuyomi" and "salvation".

He saw how this guy used his eternal life to lie dormant in the shadows of history, patiently waiting and observing, and then, with different methods and the same malice, to lure and push each reincarnation of Indra and Asura toward inevitable hostility and slaughter.

However, each time, the ending is always the defeat or tragedy of the reincarnation of Indra, accumulating even deeper resentment for the next cycle of reincarnation.

Then, the scene shifts to the era of "Uchiha Madara".

He witnessed the earth-shattering final battle at the Valley of the End... In a corner of the scene, far from the battlefield, a dark shadow lay silently, watching the clash between Indra and Ashura's power at its peak in this generation, and... Madara Uchiha's defeat and death.

Then, until the moment he died of old age, this guy possessed a White Zetsu, pretending that he had created it.

Hearing about something and seeing it with your own eyes are ultimately different experiences.

Looking at his once proud yet confused self in the mirror, Madara felt like a fool being led by the nose, deeply believing in Black Zetsu and regarding him as the only "kindred spirit" and "will." The anger and shame in his chest surged like magma.

He clenched his teeth, his breathing becoming uncontrollably heavy and rapid, each breath suppressing a destructive impulse.

Standing beside him, Uchiha Izuna was equally angry, but his focus was slightly different.

His gaze was fixed on those earlier scenes of sowing discord and manipulation. He saw how Black Zetsu manipulated history, plunging the Senju and Uchiha clans into endless bloodshed and hatred generation after generation... and the source of all this was that a thousand years ago, the Senju and Uchiha... were descendants of two brothers?

This realization struck Izuna as something absurd and jarring.

His deep-seated hostility towards the Senju clan and the painful memories of the battlefield made it difficult for him to accept this claim of shared origins, and his brows furrowed tightly.

"You brat! You're not going to kill me!!"

Just then, a sharp, terrified scream, filled with the terror of a dying struggle, suddenly rang out!

Black Zetsu's soul has finally awakened.

Its consciousness remained stuck in the last moment of its life—the instant before it was completely locked in by the [Rasengan: Sun Core] and annihilated, the moment it tried to escape but was powerless to do so. Therefore, its first reaction upon waking was still to maintain the posture it wanted to use to escape.

Then, it saw its surroundings, and right in front of it, a pair of Rinnegan eyes staring at it like an abyss, filled with boundless rage.

"Madara... Lord Madara?!"

Black Zetsu's voice instantly changed, shifting from fierce to incredulous panic, "You... why are you here... ugh—!!!"

Before it could finish asking its question, an indescribable, soul-piercing pain completely overwhelmed it!

A Susanoo sword made of chakra suddenly emerged from the ground, piercing through its black soul with perfect precision, lifting it off the ground like an insect nailed to a specimen board, and suspending it in mid-air!

The pain of his soul being torn apart was so clear that Black Zetsu let out a silent scream, and his liquid-like body convulsed violently.

"Lord Madara...why...?"

Despite the excruciating pain, it still tried to play the role of a loyal creator of will, its voice filled with grievance and incomprehension, as if it did not understand why it was being treated this way.

Then, like all awakened souls, information about "being dead," "being in the Pure Land," and the rules of the [Mirror of Cause and Effect] flooded into Black Zetsu's consciousness like a tide.

Its body... no, its entire soul, began to tremble violently and uncontrollably.

It understood.

Why are there white spots here?

Why look at a white spot with that kind of gaze?

I understand... what that mirror, floating to the side, which may have already played all its incriminating evidence, means.

All pretense vanishes instantly in the face of truth and overwhelming power.

Madara Uchiha slowly stood up, looking at Black Zetsu, who was pinned in the air and convulsing with fear and pain. His voice was icy cold, each word seemingly ground out from between his teeth.

"Black Zetsu...you vile filth."

"You stole my ideals and tampered with the path I chose. Your lies are hilarious. They successfully deceived my eyes, fooled my mind... and trampled on my pride, Uchiha Madara."

In Madara's Rinnegan, purple ripples slowly rotated, containing both the flames of anger and the icy chill that freezes everything.

"So, in return..."

Madara Uchiha gave a cold, cruel smile.

"I will let you experience for yourself what it means to be conscious in eternity in this eternal land."

(Regarding Uchiha Yu... the author doesn't intend to redeem her; instead, the author plans for her to unilaterally fall into depravity. The author finds it rather perverse, but I see many readers' comments expressing a desire to see that happen? So, I'll actually write it?)
