"Do you have anything to say about Uchiha Madara's treasure?"
Afterwards, Uzumaki Nagato urgently contacted the masked man Uchiha Obito, then calmly asked.
"······"
Uchiha Obito's expression was grave, silently thinking to himself:
"What should I say? What can I say? What treasure of Uchiha Madara? I've never heard of it! And that old Madara never mentioned such a thing!"
Hearing about Uchiha Madara's treasure for the first time, the confused Obito fell silent for a long time.
Compared to Nagato's questioning, Obito himself also had many doubts.
"That guy Uchiha Madara has such a powerful treasure, so why give it not to me, his successor, but to a stranger from the Uchiha clan?"
Thinking this, Obito still doubted the authenticity of this so-called Uchiha Madara treasure.
But the battered Kakuzu and the dead Hidan undoubtedly proved that the weapon named "God" possessed an overwhelming power that was hard to resist.
"Could it be that old Madara has dementia and forgot such an important matter?"
Suddenly, Obito thought so, and even found it quite likely.
Because when he first met Uchiha Madara, that elderly Madara was barely clinging to life thanks to the vitality provided by the Outer Path Puppet.
His occasional dazed state and unclear mind were not unlikely.
Seeing Obito's silence, and unable to see his true expression because of the spiral mask, Uzumaki Nagato softly said:
"Then should I call you Uchiha Madara, or..."
"Ahem, just call me 'Afei'!"
"Afei?"
Upon hearing this, Nagato's mouth curved slightly, as if understanding something, but didn't clarify — everything remained unspoken.
"······"
Obito felt inexplicably embarrassed, but because of the spiral mask and his own thick skin, he forced himself to say:
"So, what exactly is the Six Paths Heavenly Scripture? You, who possess the Rinnegan, might know?"
Quickly shifting the topic, he turned to the Six Paths Heavenly Scripture that appeared alongside the Blazing Blade.
In truth, Obito knew Nagato's Rinnegan was not naturally awakened, so how could Nagato possibly know the true information about the Scripture?
But Nagato thought his Rinnegan was naturally awakened, so he didn't doubt Obito's intention, instead shook his head and said:
"I don't know. There's no such information in the Rinnegan!"
An expected answer!
Obito sighed lightly in his heart, but secretly thought:
"Six Paths Heavenly Scripture, a relic of the Sage of Six Paths! But Madara never mentioned it — is it because it's unimportant, or because of dementia, or deliberately hidden?"
Could the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan have some variables?
Thinking of this, Obito's expression darkened.
If this Uchiha Madara treasure truly was an old Madara relic, it would mean Madara had secret intentions unknown to others.
In other words, the so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi plan might have some reservations.
Or perhaps, Madara had other schemes, and the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan was just a smoke screen to distract the ninja world.
"Six Paths Heavenly Scripture?"
Obito silently muttered a few words, his expression fluctuated, and his Kamui Sharingan kept spinning uncontrollably.
······
"Black Zetsu, given your identity, tell me, what exactly is this Uchiha Madara treasure?"
In a dark and deserted place, Obito stared heavily at Zetsu — or rather, the half Black Zetsu — his Sharingan eyes fixed on Black Zetsu.
"Uchiha Madara never left any treasure! If he left anything important, it's only the Rinnegan in Nagato's eyes and the Infinite Tsukuyomi peace plan for the ninja world!"
Black Zetsu's tone was very firm, answering decisively.
In Black Zetsu's memory, he had witnessed and was well aware of Madara's entire life, and never saw any so-called treasure left by Madara.
As for the so-called Six Paths Heavenly Scripture, although very old, Black Zetsu never saw Otsutsuki Kaguya leave it.
Even if it really existed, over nearly a thousand years of ninja history, there must have been undeniable traces, and nothing could escape Black Zetsu's watchful eyes.
Yet none of this ever appeared!
So Black Zetsu could firmly conclude that the Six Paths Heavenly Scripture and Uchiha Madara's treasure were not real.
"It's very likely that someone is using this name to push some changes in the ninja world, just like how Obito wants to shake the entire ninja world under the name of Uchiha Madara!"
Black Zetsu thought this, then reconfirmed his own memories.
However, if Black Zetsu's memory was not mistaken, then Uchiha Madara's treasure was clearly fake!
But if the treasure really exists, it would mean Black Zetsu's memories were tampered with to cover up these shocking secrets.
Even Black Zetsu's own actions might have been manipulated by that person!
Suddenly thinking this, Black Zetsu was horrified and trembling in his soul, but quickly denied it in his heart:
"Impossible! It's impossible! My mission is to promote the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan and rescue Mother!"
He hurriedly calmed his restless mind.
That unsettling feeling of doubt gradually faded a little.
But that trace of self-doubt had already taken root deep in Black Zetsu's soul.
Hearing Black Zetsu's explanation, Obito silently nodded, finding it quite reasonable.
Exhaling a heavy breath, he again said gravely:
"Then Black Zetsu, White Zetsu, you must thoroughly investigate this matter, find the mastermind behind it, and confirm whether that person will affect our plans!"
Obito's face was solemn — since someone wanted to exploit Madara's name and made it so real that even Madara's figure could be imitated.
This strange power made Obito extremely wary.
"Hmm, although our fighting ability isn't good, reconnaissance is our specialty!"
Black Zetsu didn't say anything, but White Zetsu confidently assured.
