The Uchiha's Path to the Top, Starting from Konoha

Chapter 236 The Death of Black Zetsu

Before the Dragon Emperor shed his blood in the Sea of ​​Magic, the moon in the starry sky shone like a dazzling pearl, radiating a soft and mysterious glow.

In this boundless starry sky, a woman with a beautiful face stood quietly, her eyes like pure white crystals, exuding a captivating sense of mystery.

The Rinne Sharingan shimmered with an eerie light between its brows, as if it could penetrate time and space and see the truth of all things.

She was none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki, an ancient and powerful being.

Her skin was as white as snow, like flower petals under the moonlight, radiating a faint glow. Her long, cascading hair, set against the backdrop of the starry sky, resembled a flowing galaxy, shimmering with silver light, and gently draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of mystery.

"Hagoromo, Hamura, do you think your plan will succeed?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's voice flowed like a clear spring, carrying a hint of cold mockery, as if issuing a silent challenge to those who had once sealed her away.

She smiled slightly, a smile with an exotic charm that made people involuntarily fall for her.

Kaguya Otsutsuki opened her arms, feeling the endless energy in the universe. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the chakra gradually filling her body, like a warm tide slowly flowing into her limbs and bones.

At that moment, a beautiful blush appeared on her face, like the rosy dawn, gorgeous and charming.

A long-lost joy welled up in my heart, as if a thousand-year-old seal had vanished at this moment, and all the pain and loneliness had disappeared.

"A whole thousand years—"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sighed softly, her voice filled with endless感慨 and a sense of relief.

The loneliness and suffering of the past thousand years seemed to be redeemed at this moment. The breath of revival of all things rippled in her heart, giving her a sense of freedom she had never felt before.

His expression softened, and his eyes sparkled.

"The breath of freedom!"

Her voice echoed through the starry sky, her eyes flashing with determination and resolve, as if declaring to all her enemies that she would no longer be bound by the shackles of the past, and that she would take control of her future journey!

Give me liberty or give me death!

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's gaze fell upon the lunar surface, Konoha's research base, which did not prompt her to immediately take action, as agreed with Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, to destroy the entire moon.

"My embodiment of will, return!"

Because of her carelessness and underestimation of her enemy, her own two sons raided her home. Over the past thousand years, Kaguya Otsutsuki has been reflecting on herself and trying to make up for her shortcomings.

Now that she has left the sealed place, Kaguya Otsutsuki sensed Black Zetsu's presence and couldn't wait to learn about the affairs of the ninja world through the product of her own will and chakra, especially about Uchiha Takehiro, whom Hagoromo Otsutsuki specifically named!

"And the Divine Tree... hmm, it's already sealed inside his body, making him the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?"

While calling out to Black Zetsu, Kaguya Otsutsuki was also at the Divine Tree she had brought with her.

She once planted the seed of the Divine Tree in the ninja world, and by absorbing the power of the continent's origin, a Chakra Fruit was born that could grant immortality and allow one to reach the pinnacle of the Six Paths!

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who consumed the Chakra Fruit, was undoubtedly the strongest in the world on paper.

Unfortunately, despite his strong physique, he was simple-minded and was tragically sealed away by his two sons.

"Mother!"

Upon discovering that Kaguya Otsutsuki had escaped, Black Zetsu, following a mysterious connection, arrived before the woman. From his muddy, black body emerged a small black figure with bright yellow eyes, filled with excitement and anticipation.

"Black Zetsu, come with me."

Kaguya Otsutsuki waved her hand, and a dark portal appeared before her, leading Black Zetsu to the location of the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

"My artificial weapon, the White Zetsu?"

"Hagoromo and Hamura certainly know how to make good use of each other."

In the deep, dark space, Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, who had become like a puppet. Her gaze swept over him, and her pure white eyes seemed to see a distant, alternate dimension. She exhaled slightly and reached out to grab him.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who mastered the Rinne Sharingan technique "Amanokami-no-Machi," naturally possessed exceptional spatial abilities.

While accelerating her approach to the alternate dimension, she inquired about the situation in the Black Zetsu Ninja World.

Through Black Zetsu's well-organized explanation, one can gain a general understanding of the current ninja world.

"Given Uchiha Takeoshi's personality, the reason he didn't turn against Hagoromo and Hamura is because he wasn't absolutely certain he could kill them?"

As Kaguya Otsutsuki pondered, her eyes brightened slightly.

A thousand years ago, she also suffered from not having capable subordinates. If she could have subdued Uchiha Takeo, she could have gone straight to seek revenge on her two sons.

"This fluctuation!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression suddenly changed, and the Rinne Sharingan between her eyebrows turned, seeing through layers of space that the majestic Black Gold Dragon Emperor and four giant dragons launched a joint attack that shook the entire planet!

"The chakra and Sage Mode fluctuations of the ninja world... that person must be Uchiha Takeoshi. And those two ninja beasts are also at the Six Paths level!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki turned to ask Black Zetsu for specific information, and time slowly passed in the back-and-forth of questions and answers.

"Such strength is worthy of being called a being in the Six Paths."

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had very little practical combat experience, really didn't want to run into Takeo Uchiha. While deep in thought, she grabbed Black Zetsu.

Dense purple runes appeared in his palm, binding him in front of Hei Jue's bewildered gaze.

"Mother, what is this?"

"The contractual bond between Hagoromo and Hamura binding me."

Kaguya Otsutsuki slowly said, "They want to use a soul-binding contract to gain freedom in exchange for helping them kill Uchiha Takehiro."

"But why would I obey their orders!"

"Those two beasts!"

Black Zetsu cursed, "How could you treat Mother like this!"

"So, Mother, are the purple chains on my body the contract?"

"Yes, you are the embodiment of my will, that is, a part of my soul. No matter how much Hagoromo and Hamura planned, they never expected that I would still have you outside."

Kaguya Otsutsuki touched Black Zetsu, who was covered by purple chains and exuding an aura of fear, and said softly, "However, you don't need to worry. Life and death are a cycle."

"Mother!"

"I understand. I will definitely resurrect you someday!"

Amidst the flashes of purple light, a devastating radiance erupted, instantly reducing the Black Zetsu, which even the blazing sun could not kill, to nothingness.

In another space, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura sensed the activation of the contract, exchanged a glance, said nothing, and continued to explore the path to transcendence.

Uchiha Takeo, who was in the Sea of ​​Magic and discovered that Black Zetsu was dead, turned his gaze to the heavens.
