After a long silence, he said in a deep voice, "Thank you for the reminder, divine messenger."

Shiranui Sho's words made him realize that his silent dedication and arduous struggles over the past thousand years had finally been seen.

It's unbelievable that Black Zetsu, who had walked alone in the ninja world for a thousand years, finally met a kindred spirit at this moment!

Since that's the case, he couldn't let his like-minded companion down!

After a moment of contemplation, Black Zetsu said, "The best way to resolve the side effects of the Mangekyou Sharingan is, of course, to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

Shiranui Sho frowned and said, "But Uchiha Hikaru cannot meet the conditions for activating the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

First, to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, it is necessary to transplant another pair of Mangekyou Sharingan, which is quite different from eye transplantation.

Secondly, transplanting the Mangekyou Sharingan does not necessarily unlock the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan; the blood relationship between the transplant recipient and the recipient must also be close.

If the blood relation is too distant, the chances of a successful transplant are extremely slim.

And Uchiha Hikaru...

As a member of the Uchiha clan during the Warring States period, she could not find any clan members in that era with whom she met the criteria for blood kinship.

It's not surprising that Black Zetsu knew the conditions for Sho Shiranui to awaken the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

In his view, it was strange that the divine messenger chosen by His Majesty the Mother did not know these things.

Faced with Shiranui Sho's questioning, Black Zetsu shook his head lightly: "That's just the usual method."

"The Uchiha clan, being related by blood, will experience a qualitative change when the power of their two Mangekyou Sharingan is superimposed. This is the reason for the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan."

"But such a qualitative change can also be achieved through other means, namely... the power of Mother!"

Shiranui Sho raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "Kira... the power of the Goddess of the Rabbit can even directly upgrade the Kaleidoscope to the Eternal Kaleidoscope?"

That would be way too much of a bug, wouldn't it?

After all, some Mangekyou Sharingan have incredibly powerful mechanisms and should not be underestimated.

If Kaguya Otsutsuki could truly mass-produce the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, then all she needed to do was guide the Uchiha clan to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan. Wouldn't creating an Eternal Eye Legion be far more promising than any White Zetsu Legion?

“Uchiha Hikaru is rather special.”

Black Zetsu explained, "During the Warring States period, the Uchiha clan used a secret technique to transplant the eye techniques and eye powers of other Mangekyou Sharingan into her Mangekyou Sharingan."

"Uchiha Hikaru's Mangekyou Sharingan is far superior to ordinary Mangekyou Sharingan in terms of eye power. The only thing missing is a catalyst for a qualitative change."

"With the power of her mother as a guide, her eyes underwent a qualitative change, and the awakening of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was a natural outcome."

"so it is……"

Shiranui Sou's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood after Black Zetsu's explanation.

As in the original work, Sasuke awakened the Rinnegan after being granted the power of Yin by the Sage of Six Paths. Was this due to the Sage of Six Paths' abilities?

Of course, the Sage of Six Paths was partly to blame, but the fundamental reason was that Sasuke possessed Indra's chakra; the Yin power was merely a trigger.

If it were Fugaku Uchiha or Itachi Uchiha, even if they obtained the power of Yin, their eyes would not undergo a qualitative change.

Similarly, Kaguya Otsutsuki had the ability to awaken Hikaru Uchiha's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, but the prerequisite was that Hikaru's eyes had accumulated a large amount of ocular power, and he only needed a guide.

After a moment of contemplation, Shiranui Sou shook her head: "But that can only be done when the Goddess of Rabbit breaks the seal. It's too late to do something that's too far away."

Black Zetsu nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with the statement.

He thought for a moment, then continued, "There is another method, which, although it cannot completely solve the problem of losing the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan, can greatly alleviate it."

After pausing for a few seconds, Black Zetsu said, word by word, "Merge with White Zetsu!"

"No."

Shiranui Xiao shook her head decisively: "The features after fusing with White Zetsu are too obvious, and... it's too ugly!"

What's the point of such a beautiful young girl merging with White Zetsu?

Seeing Shiranui Xiao shake her head, Black Zetsu fell silent for a moment.

You didn't mention any aesthetic requirements either.

At this moment, Shiranui Sho also put forward her true request.

"Ze, I need you to provide all the information you know about Wood Release, as well as a White Zetsu as experimental material."

This was his real purpose for coming here: to get technology and materials!

Chapter 164 Guess who ruined the Wood Release experiment?

Black Zetsu was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what Shiranui Sou meant.

"You want to research a way to alleviate the depletion of your Kaleidoscope eye power on your own?"

"That's right."

“Divine messenger, I must remind you, this is not an experiment that can be successful in a short time.”

Black Zetsu pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Konoha has indeed been studying Hashirama Senju's cells in an attempt to recreate Wood Release, but if I remember correctly, the experiment was sabotaged in secret some time ago."

"Unfortunately, if we had used this experimental data as a basis, we could have achieved results in the short term."

He was about to dissuade Shiranui Xiao from wasting his energy on things where the input and output were disproportionate, but he saw a slight smile curving up the corner of Shiranui Xiao's mouth.

"Ze, I didn't expect you to know so much about Konoha's Wood Release experiments. However, there's one thing you don't seem to know..."

"Guess who sabotaged this experiment?"

"Could it be that you..."

Black Zetsu suddenly realized, letting out a sinister laugh of agreement, "I never imagined that all that effort those high-ranking officials in Konoha put into the Wood Release experiments would ultimately benefit you, the God Messenger!"

In Black Zetsu's view, it is likely that Shiranui Sho discovered the Wood Release experiment, considered it to have value, and thus secretly destroyed it and took it for himself.

Such cunning and shrewdness make him an absolute confidant of his kindred spirits!

We're all seasoned veterans of this!

"So I need your help, Black Zetsu."

Shiranui Sho saw through Black Zetsu's thoughts, but had no intention of explaining.

He destroyed the Wood Release experiment because he didn't want to see countless innocent people die because of Danzo's ambition.

However, the data from the Wood Release experiments was indeed valuable, so he did not destroy it but preserved it.

Now that Black Zetsu has provided the technology, the Wood Release experiments can continue.

With White Zetsu as experimental subjects, there's no need to harm countless innocent ninjas and babies as before.

Black Zetsu nodded decisively: "I will send you what you need in a while."

"Thank you very much, Jue."

Shiranui Sho expressed her gratitude with a smile.

Black Zetsu is a good guy, someone I can get along with!

Black Zetsu is cunning and shrewd, the most sinister mastermind in the ninja world, but he is also very pure and has no selfish motives as a partner.

If Shiranui Xiao is willing to help him save his mother, he will provide any assistance unconditionally.

After the matter was settled, the two men turned their attention to the battlefield below.

As time went on, the stalemate in the battle gradually became clearer.

Yahiko used his most proficient water-style ninjutsu to completely break up the formation of the wandering ninjas, and the other Akatsuki members dealt with the lone cannon fodder.

Nagato used ninjutsu, combined with the power of the Rinnegan, to kill the stronger rogue ninja who was confronting him.

Finally, with Xiao Nan's sleeves fluttering, the pure white paper fell to earth like feathers, and the resounding explosion that echoed throughout the battlefield announced the end of the battle.

Seeing this, Shiranui Xiao and Hei Zetsu nodded in unison, their expressions satisfied.

"Nagato is becoming more and more accustomed to the power of these eyes. In the future, he will gather the power of the tailed beasts with the Rinnegan, and then revive Madara Uchiha, making Madara Uchiha the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki... The grand plan can be accomplished!"

Hei Jue thought to himself.

"The Bomb-Bomb Fruit's abilities have been developed quite well; it seems this fruit is indeed very suitable for Minami."

Shiranui Sho's idea was much simpler.

Having achieved his purpose, Shiranui Sho had no intention of lingering by Black Zetsu's side any longer. Seeing that the battle below had ended, he took his leave.

Below, the members of the Xiao organization, having ended the battle, had gathered together to count the wounded and examine the enemy corpses.

In the air, white paper scraps surrounded Xiao Nan, gradually getting closer to her body and merging with it.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, she looked up at the towering rocks in the distance, a hint of doubt flashing in her amber eyes.

However, the view was empty, with only a gentle breeze blowing down pebbles.

"..."

Xiao Nan withdrew her gaze, the doubt in her eyes fading, assuming that the strange feeling she had just experienced was an illusion.

After dispelling the paper escape technique, she descended to earth like an angel, her body slowly falling.

"Is everyone alright?"

Leader Mi Yan's concerned gaze swept over the members of the Xiao organization. Seeing that everyone only had minor injuries and there were no serious injuries or deaths, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He himself was only a Chunin-level ninja, and in the battle just now, he had no time to take care of everyone.

Xiao's organization has been established for some time, and during this period, many people who agree with his ideas have chosen to join.

Among these people, some were children who had just become genin, and some were adults.

Inspired by Mi Yan's personal charisma, they chose to fight for the goal of peace.

“Miyan”.

Nagato walked to Yahiko's side, a smile playing on his lips, and said with delight, "Now 'Akatsuki' is capable of carrying out missions with even higher rewards!"

"That's right!"

Mi Yan revealed a hearty smile, clapped his right fist against his left palm, and grinned, "We've taken another step closer to achieving our goal!"

Beside her, Xiao Nan watched her two companions' happy expressions, and a serene smile appeared on her lips.

Everything is on track, and everything is full of vitality.

They are realizing their dreams step by step through their own efforts.

Xiao Nan is very satisfied with her current life.

Occasionally, he will carry out missions with Nagato and Yahiko, and sometimes he will participate in part-time work for the Alabasta Chamber of Commerce.

Meanwhile, she gradually became more proficient in her Paper Escape Technique and the Bomb-Bomb Fruit ability in battle after battle.

She recalled the moment when she almost died at the hands of the enemy, and was saved by Shiranui Sho at the critical moment.

She didn't want to experience that feeling of helplessness as she faced death again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Nan's thoughts gradually drifted away...

Speaking of which, Brother Xiao is truly an incredible person, able to take them to an island in another world that is covered in desert.

There, their power is not used for fighting or killing, but for bringing rain to benefit the people.

If only it were like this in the Land of Rain, but unfortunately, most of their power is still used for fighting.

"Yahiko, Nagato, it's almost time for our trade with the merchant guild again, so I won't be going back to the village with you."

Xiao Nan came to her senses and said to her two companions.

"Xiao Nan, do you need us to come over together?"

Mi Yan scratched his head and asked.

"No need, I can carry it by myself."

Xiao Nan smiled and declined.

She can fly alone using the Paper Dance technique, which is faster, while traveling with several people would take more time.

Moreover, she might receive a mission from the Chamber of Commerce, which could take some time.

After bidding farewell to her companions in Akatsuki, Konan flew towards the town near Amegakure, like a bird soaring freely in the sky.

A gentle breeze caressed her cheeks, bringing her a sense of peace and allowing her thoughts to drift away once more.
