Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swords Begins in Kumogakure

Chapter 50 Nephew Black Zetsu

There he sensed a strange thought, a feeling that was somewhat familiar, one he had sensed before on the battlefield, but it had only been fleeting.

At the time, I thought it was an illusion, but now it seems it wasn't.

However, although the intention was strong, it was not malicious; otherwise, he would have already thrown out the detonating tag.

He didn't have to wait long before the other party appeared, but his appearance left Tamura Hao somewhat bewildered.

A pool of something resembling liquid asphalt flowed out of the room and formed a dark head in front of Tamura Hiroshi.

Tamura Hiroshi was stunned when he saw the dark-colored thing, not understanding why this person had come to him.

"Is it because of Kaguya's phantom image?"

He quickly thought of Kaguya's phantom in the spiritual world, and Tamura Hao made up his mind.

Guiding Kaguya's phantom to merge deeply with his own chakra, Tamura Hao hypnotically imitated that maternal radiance, squatting down to touch Black Zetsu's cheek, his eyes even glistening with tears, as if he were looking at his own child.

"Mother!"

This feeling made Black Zetsu involuntarily call out "Mom." This feeling was definitely real, especially the chakra within his body.

That was my mother's chakra, incredibly pure.

He maintained this state for quite a while before Tamura Hiroshi severed the connection with Kaguya's phantom, and the expression of maternal love disappeared.

"Mother?"

"Are you my sister's child?"

Tamura Hiroshi expressed a hint of doubt.

"Why do you have your mother's chakra in you?"

Black Zetsu stared intently at the boy in front of him, not understanding why this person possessed his mother's chakra.

"Let's talk inside!"

Looking around, Tamura Hao loosened Samehada and walked towards the house, with Black Zetsu following closely behind.

He needed to understand the problem with this boy, which is why he chose to show himself.

He walked into the house and sat down, looking at Black Zetsu in front of him, and said jokingly, "My sister was in my mind the first time I refined chakra, and I always dream about her. She always talks to me about children, children, she must be talking about you!"

"A contract?"

Black Zetsu seemed to be deep in thought, recalling a secret technique passed down from his mother, a technique unique to the Otsutsuki clan.

It can record body data and imprint it on a compatible person, thereby bringing them back to life.

However, it is very difficult to preserve the contract, and the carrier must meet extremely strict requirements.

Furthermore, this boy has no contract markings on his body, so it shouldn't be a contract, or at least not a complete one.

With this in mind, Black Zetsu made a judgment.

Regardless of the circumstances, this person now possesses his mother's chakra, making him one of their own; that feeling is unmistakable.

"Who are you? And who is my sister? Why is she in my body? And why can she absorb the Sharingan's power and the remaining chakra in the Second Hokage's internal organs? And the flesh and chakra of the Nine-Tails and Eight-Tails? And why does she also like the chakra of Kaguya and the Uzumaki ninja?"

Tamura Hao asked with a very serious expression, indicating that he, Tamura Hao, had many questions that needed to be answered.

"You can call me Black Zetsu!"

After thinking for a while, Black Zetsu came up with a name.

He himself had no name. His mother created him with her last strength and then sealed him away, without having time to name him.

The name Black Zetsu corresponds to the White Zetsu army created by his mother.

"My mother's name is Kaguya Otsutsuki. She is the true progenitor of chakra in the ninja world. All the power in the ninja world originates from my mother, so naturally she can absorb it."

Unfortunately, she was sealed away and her power was stolen by the Sage of Six Paths. As your mother's successor, although you are not perfect, your destiny is sealed. You must rescue your mother, and in doing so, you will gain even more power.

Since they are the successors of their mother, then they are one of us.

At least with his mother's chakra present, this person could not possibly betray her. It's even possible that this was a backup plan left by his mother, and only today has a suitable person been found to carry on the revival.

This gave him a sense of finding a kindred spirit. For thousands of years, he had been hiding in the shadows, silently plotting and striving, and the loneliness he felt was indescribable.

Having a like-minded person, or even a younger brother, is such a wonderful feeling.

"Also, you should be a backup plan left by your mother, so you should call her 'Mom' like me, not 'Sister'."

They corrected the way the other person addressed their mother, because Black Zetsu saw him as his younger brother, someone his mother had created, and that they should work together to rescue their mother.

"I won't call her 'Mom,' she's my sister!"

Tamura Hiroshi resolutely objected, and his expression immediately turned serious.

"I need to know more about my sister!"

Although Black Zetsu was displeased, he didn't dwell on it. After organizing his thoughts, he said, "The story of my mother goes back to a long time ago, when she was first born into this world..."

As he spoke, he observed the boy in front of him. Although the boy was his mother's choice, if this person did not choose to help him unseal his mother, he would not mind swallowing him whole.

So revealing these top secrets isn't a big deal, as long as the other party can become a true ally and work together to prepare for unsealing Mom, that would be perfect.

After Black Zetsu finished speaking, Tamura Hao pondered for a while, then took out a kunai and quickly began to draw on the ground, soon sketching a figure.

"The 'Hagoromo' you're talking about, the Sage of Six Paths, is he him?"

Upon seeing that figure, Black Zetsu's eye sockets seemed to swell even larger.

How do you know him? Have you met him?

Black Zetsu was very nervous. Although the boy's figure was very blurry, his general image was there, especially his uniquely shaped horns, which matched a figure from his mother's inherited memories very well.

Logically speaking, that person should have died long ago, and more than a thousand years have passed. How could this child possibly know?

Could it be that the mother passed on some fragments of memory to the other person?

"This person's presence exists within all chakra. He will be devoured by my sister as soon as he appears. Judging from your tone, this doesn't seem to be the Sage of Six Paths."

Tamura Hao gave a brief explanation: if you want to fool this ancient monster, you can't do it without revealing some real information.

Hearing that this was the reason, Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "He was Mom's enemy, named Otsutsuki Isshiki. He was killed by Mom a thousand years ago, and his body was integrated into the Ten-Tails, which propelled the Ten-Tails to evolve into its final form, the Divine Tree."

It's normal for his chakra to exist within the chakra of the ninja world.

Nodding in understanding, Tamura Hao then began to sketch again, drawing another figure.

"So this must be the Sage of Six Paths?"

His drawing skills are quite good. His previous erotic masterpieces were all accompanied by a lot of illustrations, all of which were high-quality works that he had seen online in his previous life. This is also a major reason why those masterpieces were so popular.

"Yes, that's Hagoromo!"

After looking at it, Black Zetsu nodded. Although it was blurry, the general image was correct.

He would never forget what Yu Yi looked like; he would recognize her even if she turned to ashes.

"You know about Jinchūriki like the First Hokage's wife, right?"

While scraping off the floor with his figure carved on it using a kunai, Tamura Hiroshi started talking about Jinchuriki.

He had been thinking about this for a while, but he didn't expect Black Zetsu to come looking for him. But that was just right, since Black Zetsu must have something he wanted.
