Life Simulation: Propose Marriage To Kushina Uzumaki at the Beginning

"At this time, the Sage of Six Paths made another grave mistake — one that would render his entire life's work a failure."

"Though Hagoromo had separated the Ten-Tails' power from his body, he could have continued living by using the Six Paths power that remained within him. He could have survived for thousands of years — after all, one shouldn't underestimate the power of the Otsutsuki clan. With his immense strength combined with the Six Paths power within him, living for a millennium would have been effortless."

"But he chose a different path. Rather than preserving the Six Paths power within himself, he traveled the mortal world and began spreading his Six Paths chakra to all things. As he dispersed this power across the world, the servants who accompanied him — his followers — gradually began to obtain this Six Paths power themselves."

"When these followers learned to control the chakra within their bodies, they discovered its extraordinary wonders. Upon witnessing their newfound strength, the Sage of Six Paths saw this as a positive development. He embraced it as his journey of redemption, continuing to disperse all the chakra he possessed."

"Over the next twenty years, he not only spread his chakra throughout the world but also established a following of several hundred disciples. During this time, Hagoromo fell in love with a mortal woman, chose to marry her, and eventually had two children."

"These two offspring should be familiar to you — Hashirama and Madara."

At this point in his narrative, he slowly turned his gaze toward the two.

He knew they must be aware of these secrets, as they had been clan leaders during the Warring States period. He couldn't imagine they were ignorant of these matters.

Hashirama and Madara exchanged glances, then nodded solemnly.

"Indeed, our clan has records of this." Hashirama confirmed, "The Sage of Six Paths had two sons with a mortal woman — Indra and Ashura. According to our intelligence, as Madara mentioned, there appeared to be some friction between the brothers. Though the exact nature of this conflict remains unclear to us now. Yusuke, do you know?"

Yusuke calmly replied, "I certainly do. This friction led to the complete downfall of the Sage of Six Paths' lineage. The brothers' conflict escalated into warfare, which ultimately led to tragedy."

"And I can tell you. Behind all this was an invisible hand that you couldn't see. Even this hand had completely hidden itself, to the point that even Hagoromo couldn't sense this hand's presence. Because this hand was none other than Black Zetsu, the mastermind."

"Yes, the Black Zetsu you imagine. He was indeed the mastermind who orchestrated the entire ninja world's tragedy."

After saying this, he gently pursed his lips.

Hashirama and Madara, along with Tobirama, Izuna, and the others, all showed expressions of disbelief.

They hadn't imagined that a thousand years ago, when the Sage of Six Paths unified the ninja world, the mastermind had already appeared.

This mastermind was Black Zetsu — something neither Hashirama nor Madara had expected.

"Madara, I know you have many thoughts right now. You've even prepared several pieces of evidence to prove Black Zetsu is your will manifestation. But let me be clear: Black Zetsu is his own being. He was created by Kaguya during her final battle with the Sage brothers."

"During the moment when Hagoromo and Hamura performed the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei seal, Kaguya squeezed out a trace of the Ōtsutsuki clan's power from within herself. With that final power, she created Black Zetsu."

"Black Zetsu, being a product of Ōtsutsuki's hasty creation, didn't possess power like the Sage of Six Paths and his brother, nor did he inherit any of Kaguya's powers. He inherited only two things perfectly: an extremely strong life force and the ability to secretly control the Ten-Tails."

"Thus, it not only secretly controlled the Ten-Tails' empty shell — the Ten-Tails Tree — but also commanded the White Zetsu created by the chakra tree to run his errands and handle his affairs."

"Since the Sage of Six Paths shared the same origin as Kaguya, even he couldn't detect Black Zetsu's existence. This made it increasingly arrogant. He existed for only one purpose: to find ways to resurrect his mother, Kaguya. This was his sole mission."

"And so Black Zetsu, Kaguya's final offspring, began plotting for thousands of years. In this nearly thousand-year history of the ninja world, all of you were merely puppets in his hands — except for me, who knew beforehand."
