Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"Impossible!" Black Jue's eyes widened in fury.

Then, looking at Hinata, who seemed completely unharmed and unaffected, it was stunned.

Is it a dream?

Yes, it must be a dream, otherwise how can you explain the ineffectiveness of Infinite Tsukuyomi?

"Could it be..."

Not being stupid, Black Zetsu quickly figured out the reason.

Ino's Rinnegan has six tomoe and her ocular power is so powerful that it's understandable that she can ignore it or even resist the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Hinata's ability, as demonstrated in previous battles, is that she is absolutely untouchable. Conversely, Hinata can easily touch anything.

Simply put, the light of Infinite Tsukuyomi, while seemingly enveloping Hinata, actually didn't touch her at all.

"..." Black Zetsu.

Chapter 202 The Deal, Hamura's Power

The Infinite Tsukuyomi, which was barely used after expending its chakra reserves, yielded zero results. Was it really necessary to be so cruel?

Black Zetsu collapsed, but this only strengthened its resolve to fight to the death.

As long as there is even a trace of the original source of chakra, it can be gradually restored to its full potential; it's just a matter of time, provided that one is not captured.

With this in mind, Black Zetsu cleared his mind of distractions, once again drawing upon his mother's chakra origins, combining them with the boundless life force of the Gedo Mazo, unleashing an unparalleled power.

He broke free of the chakra chains binding him in one fell swoop.

The Eighty Gods' Sky Attack forced Ino back, unable to reach Hinata.

Black Zetsu fled in the opposite direction from Hinata.

"It's no use. How many times will you have to try before you understand?"

Ino's body transformed into several red origami cranes, disappeared from the spot, and suddenly reappeared in front of Black Zetsu's escape route.

With a wave of his hand, he created nine hiltless longswords, all of them a vibrant red—these were creations of Yin-Yang Escape.

The fishing rods and baskets of the Pu Shi style are made using the power of the Rinnegan.

Since Ino wasn't used to that one, she created all sorts of weapons according to her own preferences and improvisation.

Because it is a creation of Yin-Yang Release, it is of extremely high quality. It can ignore and destroy most ninjutsu, is incredibly sharp, and even has the ability to absorb chakra.

It's incredibly useful.

"Damn it!" Black Zetsu gritted his teeth.

With Ino wielding nine swords to intercept them from the front and Hinata controlling a small version of the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion from the back, they were relentlessly pursuing them. It was a desperate situation.

Left with no other choice, Black Zetsu once again used the Eighty Gods Vacuum Strike, the most powerful physical technique.

Ino neither retreated nor dodged, controlling the nine swords to connect together, spiraling upwards to strike the Eighty Gods in a head-on collision.

boom!

The moment the collision occurred, cracks appeared on the longsword and quickly spread across its entire blade.

Seeing this, Ino, holding a knife in one hand, transformed into a paper crane and suddenly appeared in front of Black Zetsu.

He adopted a half-squatting posture, seized the blind spot that the Eighty Gods' aerial attack had not covered, and swung his sword to cut off Black Zetsu's right leg.

Another headbutt slammed heavily into Black Zetsu's abdomen.

Black Zetsu was taken aback and caught off guard. He was pushed backward uncontrollably by the immense force, landing right in front of Hinata.

The light of Infinite Tsukuyomi gradually faded and disappeared.

With a flash of golden light, Naruto appeared out of thin air and joined the battle without hesitation, making it a three-on-one fight.

Now, even if Black Zetsu has extraordinary abilities, he won't be able to escape.

Before long, they had beaten Black Zetsu down to only half a body, leaving him battered and bruised, in a sorry state.

Five chakra rods pierced through his body and were firmly nailed to the platform formed by the Truth-Seeking Ball.

Three chakra chains bound Black Zetsu and the Truth-Seeking Ball platform together.

"Let me go!" Black Absolute roared hoarsely, struggling desperately.

The source of chakra is consumed to almost nothing.

The lack of chakra doesn't seem to affect it much; it remains as energetic and vibrant as ever.

As Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, aside from being somewhat lacking in power and not matching Kaguya's standards, its immortality is exactly the same as Kaguya's.

“It’s over,” Naruto said. “The Gedo Mazo is inside you, right? Take it out yourself and give it to me. Don’t wait for me to do it.”

Black Zetsu remained silent.

"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, what is that?" Ino asked curiously.

"A container for holding chakra," Naruto explained casually.

“Let it go.” Kaguya broke her silence. “In exchange, I can tell you how to obtain Hamura’s power.”

"Oh?" Naruto thought of the strange behavior Kaguya showed when she saw the Shinigami after Orochimaru broke the Reaper Death Seal earlier, and a thought struck him.

"While Hamura's power is formidable, its threat cannot be ignored. I have no habit of letting a tiger return to the mountain."

“We can do as you wish. We can remove the Gedo Mazo, but only release Black Zetsu. Its power is weak and poses no threat to you,” Kaguya said.

Naruto thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Deal."

Regardless of Kaguya's plan, this deal is a huge win for him, and there's no reason for him to disagree.

Hinata and Ino were alerted beforehand to be on high alert, and Naruto retreated a distance to avoid direct contact between Kaguya and Black Zetsu.

After ensuring there were no problems, he released the suppression of Kaguya's chakra.

His hair grew longer and turned white, his Rinnegan transformed into Byakugan, two horns grew on his head, and between his eyebrows was Kaguya's nine-tomoe Rinnegan.

“Mother…” Black Zetsu was stunned, and quickly shook his head: “No! It must be a transformation jutsu! It’s fake!”

"Release the Gedo Mazo, and you can leave," Kaguya said. "In the future, don't be reckless and stick your neck out again. Remember this lesson."

"..." Black Zetsu.

"Mother!" Black Zetsu cried out in anguish, "I'm so sorry! I've been so useless!"

Kaguya remained silent.

Finally confirming that it was indeed his mother, Black Zetsu was in even greater pain and distress.

The mother paid an unknown price to ensure its safe escape.

Damn, damn, damn.

With a deathly pale face, Black Zetsu released the Outer Path Demonic Statue that had merged with him within his body.

Immediately, Kaguya lost control of her body.

Naruto regained control, stretched his neck slightly, looked at Black Zetsu, and suddenly said, "Rinnegan, Madara's Rinnegan, hand it over."

The Rinnegan is the medium for controlling the Gedo Mazo, and also an important means of summoning and communicating with the Gedo Mazo.

Without the Rinnegan, there's no need to worry about Black Zetsu activating the Gedo Mazo again.

Without the Gedo Mazo as its vessel, Black Zetsu's body could no longer maintain itself and reverted to its original, black, blurry form, resembling a pool of ink.

Just as Naruto proposed the Rinnegan, the pool of ink began to tremble violently, as if it were in a state of internal struggle. Finally, a small black hand emerged from the trembling ink.

Above it are two eyes.

Naruto reached out and used gravity to grab them, bringing them directly to his side.

By injecting chakra into them, his originally unremarkable black eyes suddenly transformed into the Rinnegan.

The dormant power of the eyes was activated and awakened by chakra, becoming exceptionally vast and boundless.

Naruto nodded, released the chakra rod, and signaled to the two women that they could stop.

Hinata removed the spatial barrier.

Ino releases the chakra chains.

Just as Black Zetsu was about to leave, Naruto suddenly appeared beside him and grabbed him.

"What are you going to do!" Black Zetsu exclaimed in shock.

One of the abilities of activating the Rinnegan is the Absorption Seal, a sealing technique that can extract chakra, but nothing was absorbed.

Naruto tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then secretly applied the Flying Thunder God mark.

invalid.

The mark cannot be imprinted on Black Zetsu's body.

As the embodiment of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, she certainly doesn't lack the necessary aura.

Even Truth-Seeking Balls couldn't harm Black Zetsu. Whether the Sealing Technique Absorption Seal would be effective against Black Zetsu is unknown, and it's impossible to determine whether Black Zetsu still has Kaguya's chakra.

After weighing the pros and cons, Naruto let go after a long while.

Black Zetsu dared not linger, fearing that Naruto might go back on his word, and quickly infiltrated into the ground, fleeing far away.

Chapter 203 Kaguya: The Big Liar

“You can tell me now, right? I’ve done as you said,” Naruto said.

Kaguya remained silent, clearly wanting to give Black Zetsu more time to escape to a safe place and eliminate the possibility of being tracked down by Naruto.

Naruto scratched his head and thanked Ino. He was very grateful for Ino's help this time; otherwise, he and Hinata alone might not have been able to defeat her.

Kill Indra and capture Black Zetsu alive.

The spoils were plentiful: two pairs of Rinnegan, belonging to Indra and Madara respectively, as well as the Gedo Mazo.

"It's nothing, just a small favor," Ino waved her hand casually.

"Compared to the fact that you saved my life, this little favor is nothing."
