Hagoromo wasn't able to sense BZ's presence? BZ's chakra is pretty ominous, it seems starnge that someone like Hagoromo didn't even notice it

Hashirama had actually noticed Black Zetsu, how come a guy who is the hokage didn't even decide to look further into a mysterious figure who was present on one of the most chaotic battlefields?

I get it that Madara placed the Izanagi seal in his eye to activate after a few days it makes sense, since the guy must have thought of something when he bit his beloved Hashirama's arm off :p, he knew he had to show this world that he was indeed dead. But, how did he know that no shinobi will be present when his seal gets activated? What if shinobi had tried to remove his eyes to study his body piece by piece- Orochimaru style?

Also, that shadow clone thing seems rather stupid, we know the shadow clone disappears when its damaged, the guy who must have stolen the body (which in some translation is said to be Tobirama) didnt even notice that the body he was cutting and slashing was a shadow clone?

And, how did the clone remain dead when it was being researched upon? It must have screamed when being cut cause i have never seen someone being able to create a dead clone

Plus. why is WZ referred to by BZ as Kaguya's army? What the heck she needed an army for anyway?

Also, has there been any manga chapter that has explained how did Itachi get the Totsuka blade and the Sword of Kusanagi?

I see we got some answers, but somethings have been left unanswered still

i believe that the sword was likely a regular sword with a sealing jutsu on it. maybe he swallowed it or some how merged it with his susanoo
