Is Kishi basically backpeddling on everything he just stated in previous chapters? >_> Kishimoto didn't state anything in previous chapters, Obito did. The characters in a piece of fiction aren't themselves omniscient just because their dialogue was written by the author...

Obito and Madara thought they were cultivating artifical clones of Hashirama using his cells, but Black Zetsu was really releasing the former Infinite Tsukuyomi victims that had been sealed in the Gedo Statue. They were then infused with Hashirama's DNA and further strengthened by Kabuto after he captured Yamato.
