Naruto: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Otsutsuki

"This aura..."

"This repulsive force..."

A clump of black, viscous liquid, like tar, seeped from the tree trunk and gradually coalesced into a hunched human shape.

That originally smooth, faceless face was now contorted with a human-like expression of shock.

Following the gaze, one could see that the snow that once covered everything had been wiped away by an incomprehensible repulsive force, forming a huge elliptical pit with a diameter of over 100 meters.

The pit walls were as smooth as a mirror, as if a piece had been scooped away with a giant spoon.

The remaining snow, pebbles, and dead wood were pushed to the edge of the pit, piling up to form a circular dam several meters high.

"This is... the power of the Rinnegan?!"

No, according to White Zetsu's description, Blue Zetsu doesn't have the Rinnegan.

But what exactly is this familiar force?

Could it be the Otsutsuki clan?!

Black Zetsu's feelings at this moment can only be described as "extremely shocked".

Originally, he only wanted to take advantage of the gap between Madara Uchiha's sleep and Obito being closely guarded by White Zetsu to sneak out and investigate the background of "Blue".

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the mountain cemetery, he sensed an aura that was both very familiar and extremely dangerous.

When he followed the scent to this place, he looked closely.

In the sky, only that greenish-blue figure remained.

Aside from the unprecedented chakra pattern, everything else was exactly as White Zetsu had described.

green.

Black Zetsu silently shrank deeper into the shadows, his thoughts churning violently like boiling magma.

That familiar aura... it really is the Otsutsuki...

Have those terrifying members of my mother's clan finally come looking for me?

Or perhaps... it's that guy who came to the ninja world with my mother back then?

He secretly observed the blue sky in mid-air through the gaps in the shadows.

Although Black Zetsu was Kaguya Otsutsuki's biological son, he did not inherit Kaguya's chakra like the Sage of Six Paths brothers.

At best, it can only be considered a premature baby born in a hurry.

However, premature babies also have their own unique advantages.

Black Zetsu inherited Kaguya Otsutsuki's deepest memories and will.

Therefore, compared to his two rebellious older brothers who were considered masters in the ninja world, Black Zetsu had a clearer understanding of his mother's past.

For example, the distant Otsutsuki clan, the pursuers who will one day arrive, and the Otsutsuki who arrived on Earth with Kaguya.

Black Zetsu wasn't sure whether Ao was a pursuer from his own clan or a member of his clan who arrived on Earth a thousand years ago with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

But either way, it poses a threat to his thousand-year-long plan to save his mother.

Just as Black Zetsu was struggling with his inner conflict, a chilling coldness suddenly crept into the depths of his consciousness.

"!"

The aloof figure in green turned slightly, his gaze landing precisely on the shadow where he was hiding.

"Oh no...we've been found out!"

Black Zetsu almost instinctively wanted to escape.

This guy absolutely mustn't find out he's the embodiment of Mom's will...

Otherwise, everything will be over!

Watching Black Zetsu merge into the ground in an instant, Hyuga Seiran couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"As expected of a filial son who has lived for a thousand years, he is truly cautious."

He withdrew his oppressive gaze and turned to look down at the Hidden Rock position in the distance.

The remaining Rock Crypt forces were trembling under the double-huge rock behemoths protecting them.

However, Onoki's presence had already vanished.

Hinata Seiran narrowed his eyes, just about to raise his hand to deliver another blow and completely cripple this group of Iwagakure.

"Hiss, buzz—"

Suddenly, the chakra cloak on his body began to flicker violently, like a light bulb with a faulty connection, emitting a faint sound of energy dissipation, and the light gradually dimmed.

"Has it reached its limit?"

Hinata Seiran's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of regret in his heart.

Although he really wanted to take this opportunity to teach Iwagakure a lesson they would never forget.

But reason told him he had to stop.

After all, setting aside the terrifying boost this body receives from the Tenseigan, his normal strength is only hovering around the Jonin level, barely touching the Kage level threshold.

The reason we were able to display such miraculous destructive power today is entirely due to the combined assistance of the "Rainbow Squad" hidden in the rear.

As a transit point, they resonated with the moon through their chakra, allowing Hyuga Aoran to cross space and directly steal the massive chakra of the giant Tenseigan on the moon.

Forcibly borrowing chakra that doesn't belong to oneself is difficult to control, which is one thing.

The same goes for the gazes of those old, immortal beings on the moon.

Not to mention, Orochimaru is still on the battlefield.

"Let Orochimaru worry about the rest."

Hinata Seiran pulled himself out of his thoughts, glancing one last time at the giant summoning snakes writhing at the edge of the Konoha camp, and in the direction Black Zetsu had fled.

Then, with a flash, he transformed into a streak of azure light and landed in the center of the ruins.

He had to clean up all traces before Konoha and Iwagakure could react.

Especially the four reanimated bodies of the "Rainbow Squad".

-

Inside the desolate and cold Hamura Shrine on the moon.

"Finally... we got it back!"

The elder looked at the giant Reincarnation Eye that was gradually flattening, but his tightly furrowed brows did not relax; instead, they furrowed even deeper.

Why was the Tenseigan suddenly taken from control?

Why did he sense Aoshiki's chakra?

What exactly happened?

The elder's thoughts were in turmoil, both fearing that "Qing Shi" was really alive and secretly hoping that he was.

If the chakra he sensed really belonged to Aoshiki and the Rainbow Squad, then the situation was still manageable.

After all, the giant Tenseigan is still in their hands. Even if Aoshiki could live again, the Grand Elder believed that he would still be no match for him under the power of the Tenseigan.

But if it's not like that, then it's terrifying.

The first person the Grand Elder thought of was the guy who stole the Heretic Statue back then.

There has been no news of them since.

Even if you send people to search the whole planet Earth, you won't find it.

If it's this guy again, that would be even worse than Qing Shi being resurrected again.

"Feathers wither..."

"I am here."

"Protect the giant Tenseigan day and night, and closely monitor the movements of Earth."

"At the same time, send clansmen down to investigate and see if it was the one who stole the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path... or someone else!"

"yes!"

At the same time, in a hidden underground cave several kilometers away.

"Have they left...?"

Black Zetsu cautiously poked half of its flat head out from the rock wall once more, not daring to even extend its senses, and carefully scanned the outside world with its eyes alone.

Not in the sky.

Not in that charred, deep pit.

It's not in any corner of the field of vision either.

Did that guy really retreat?

wrong……!

Without warning, a flippant, mischievous voice, tinged with a clear sense of foolishness and an irresistible chuckle, rang out right next to Black Zetsu's head.

"Black Zetsu, what are you doing~?"

"!"

Black Tiger's body trembled. The moment he heard the source of the sound, he almost instinctively struck back.

"You idiot! You moron!! Are you trying to scare me to death?!"

Black Zetsu lowered his voice, his tone filled with anger and suppressed fear.

"Why are you calling me an idiot? My entrance was totally cool!"

White Zetsu poked half of its pale body out from a thick tree trunk, hands on its hips, its yellow eyes blinking innocently, looking both dazed and self-righteous.

"..."

Looking at that stupid face, Black Zetsu took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to stuff the other person back into the Divine Tree.

His mind was in a mess, and he didn't want to talk to this guy whose head was full of shit.

He now only wants to immediately retreat to the mountain cemetery and re-examine his entire plan.

"Shut up. Get out of here with me right now, things have changed."
