"Are you saying that you refused the position of Hokage, not for any plot?" Cat Fairy pondered for a moment and then said with a sudden realization.
"Hmm!" Madara nodded and narrowed his eyes, saying, "I have a characteristic: I absolutely won't do things I don't want to do, no matter what the consequences are, I don't care. This personality is the main reason for some of my experiences in my previous life."
"If you don't care, why think so much?" Cat Fairy pouted, a hint of something unusual flashing in her eyes.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I fear dying without knowing why. If everything really goes back to the beginning, my final outcome will still be death," Madara said indifferently.
"So you want to kill Black Zetsu?" Cat Fairy said with a sudden realization.
"I have two reasons for wanting to kill Black Zetsu. The first is just pure hatred; no matter what, he has killed me. The second reason is what I'm telling you now. In the past, I didn't think so much; I just wanted to establish Konoha, end this chaotic era early, find a sanctuary for the Uchiha clan, and then explore other worlds. I would naturally return when it was time," Madara's gaze was deep, lost in thought.
Of course, he knew that the Uchiha clan would be wiped out by Konoha, but that was a distant matter. He couldn't kill the young Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura now, because he didn't know if everything would change. After all, the Uchiha clan in this world was different from the original; he had ended the war between the Uchiha and Senju early and protected the Uchiha clan for over a decade.
Many Uchiha clan members were grateful to him, wishing to erect a shrine to honor him.
As the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, once said, the Uchiha clan was very contradictory. Their Sharingan became stronger with deeper hatred, but if they understood the true meaning of love, the power they unleashed would make even gods fear. In short, the Uchiha clan were a bunch of single-minded lunatics. They would be grateful to those who treated them well, and if someone provoked them, they would dare to do anything crazy.
"If you kill Black Zetsu, can you change all this?" Cat Fairy asked, confused.
"I don't know, but from the plot of the Hokage, Black Zetsu is a hidden main quest, running through the entire story. He is much older than me, and his shadow is behind every conspiracy. His goal is to resurrect his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. According to the manga, my identity is the reincarnation of Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, and Hashirama Senju is the reincarnation of Asura, the youngest son. So Kaguya is my grandmother, and Black Zetsu is her third son, making him my third uncle. Because Indra hated Asura, they have been in constant conflict. After they died, Indra's descendants became the Uchiha, and Asura's descendants became the Senju. Thus, our two clans have been in endless conflict, and Hashirama and I, being the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, are destined to fight all our lives," Madara briefly explained the original plot, feeling a bit speechless. The plot of the Hokage was entirely about the family of the Sage of Six Paths, and the two main characters, Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, were also the reincarnations of Indra and Asura.
"So complicated!" Cat Fairy's head was spinning, feeling that this family was a bit crazy.
"You know my strength. Although I'm not at my peak, I have three superpowers and thousands of secret gadgets as backup, but I don't know if I can kill Black Zetsu!" Madara said calmly.
"Is Black Zetsu that powerful? Madara, why not just give up! After all, this is just your guess. Why risk your life to verify it!" Cat Fairy tried to persuade Madara. She hadn't read the manga, so she only half understood what Madara was saying.
Madara's lips curled up, and Cat Fairy instantly appeared in his arms. He stroked her soft fur and said with a smile, "I will never die! Not for myself, but for you!"
"Uchiha Madara! I'm not worried about you at all!" Cat Fairy struggled, saying the opposite of what she felt.
"I didn't say I can't kill Black Zetsu; I just can't find him. If he doesn't show up, unless I destroy this world, I have no way to find him," Madara's eyes flickered. In fact, there were two ways to find Black Zetsu, which he had been planning for a long time.
"Madara, you won't really destroy this world, right?" Cat Fairy asked, a bit afraid.
"How could I! Do I look like a madman!" Madara laughed, seeing the complex look in Cat Fairy's eyes. He smiled and said, "I still have feelings for this world and won't destroy it carelessly. I won't leave and never return, after all, we depend on each other in this world."
Cat Fairy sighed in relief at the first part but felt both angry and embarrassed at the second part, so she closed her eyes and didn't look at Madara.
"These days, you've seen me very busy. In fact, I've been preparing. My teleportation can now cover a thousand miles in an instant, but it requires two conditions. One is that I can teleport to any place I can see, and the other is that I can teleport to any place I think of, as long as it's within a thousand miles. However, I need to know what that place looks like, in other words, I need a reference point. If I haven't been to that place, I can't teleport there," Madara explained, seeing that Cat Fairy was silent.
Since the establishment of Konoha, he had been busy. Now, in the clouds thousands of meters high, he could finally speak freely without fear of being overheard.
"What are you trying to say?" Indeed, Cat Fairy was drawn in by Madara's words, lying on his chest, looking at him curiously.
"If we are a thousand miles apart, I just need to think of your appearance, and I can use teleportation to come to your side," Madara smiled.
"You mean..." Cat Fairy was initially a bit angry and embarrassed, but seeing his bright eyes, she thought for a moment and looked at him in surprise.
"To put it simply, Black Zetsu and I have two mobile phones, but we are not in the service area. I can't call him, but as long as we are both in the service area, I can call him, and I will know where he is," Madara, fearing that Cat Fairy wouldn't understand, explained using technological terms.
"Madara, you're a genius! Hahaha..." Cat Fairy laughed so hard she almost fell over.
"As long as Black Zetsu and I are within a thousand miles, I can use teleportation to reach him. Then..." Madara didn't laugh, a glint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Your teleportation is indeed like that, but you've never seen Black Zetsu. Did you see his picture before you came here, so you can use teleportation?" Cat Fairy laughed for a moment and then suddenly asked.
She had always been with Madara, whether eating, sleeping, or going to battle. She knew everything about his journey from the time he came to this world. She and Madara had never encountered Black Zetsu, so the only possibility was that Madara knew the plot and had seen Black Zetsu's appearance.
"..." Madara's heart sank. He knew what Cat Fairy was saying. He didn't have complete confidence in this matter. Whether in the manga or the anime, Black Zetsu's appearance was simple: a completely black person.
He had tried many times, thinking of Black Zetsu's appearance, to teleport to his side, but all attempts failed. He couldn't determine whether it was because Black Zetsu was out of service or for some other reason.
