Naruto: Traveling Through Time Starting with Seizing the Dragon Vein

This is the most perfect route to resurrecting the mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki!

However, ever since that variable named "Uchiha Yue" appeared, everything has gone completely wrong!

The Senju and Uchiha actually formed an alliance without any reservations!

Konoha not only didn't ostracize the Uchiha, but instead allowed the technological foundations of the two clans to blend seamlessly, resulting in some kind of bizarre "Heaven's Will Project"!

Madara was not isolated; he was even "forced" to defect amidst the villagers' pleas for him to stay, all in order to play along with the charade!

That's fine.

The key point is that Uchiha Tsuki, who orchestrated all of this, was even able to suppress the combined forces of Madara and Hashirama single-handedly!

This extraordinary and absolute power almost signifies the complete failure of its "Eye of the Moon Project," which had been planned for a thousand years.

Black Zetsu looked up in despair.

Even more terrifying is that the "traitor" in the Pure Land—the Sage of Six Paths—was blasted out by this earth-shattering battle. He even revealed some horrifying secrets about the Otsutsuki God. In fact, that old hag Hagoromo even hinted at a willingness to cooperate with that Uchiha Tsuki!

How are we supposed to play like this?!

Just when Black Zetsu thought that he could hide in the cracks like a stone and find another opportunity after the group of gods left,

In the center of the ruins, Uchiha Yue had just finished telling the Sage of Six Paths, Hashirama, and Madara, "I still need to handle two last things in this world."

He didn't turn around, but casually tilted his head, his left eye, which shimmered with a star-shaped dice pattern, seemed to pierce through the thick rock layers, sweeping straight towards the dark crevice on the side of the Valley of the End.

"You've been watching the show for so long, aren't you going to come out and say hello, Black Zetsu?"

The sound of the moon echoed softly in the empty canyon.

In the crack in the ground, Black Zetsu's heart skipped a beat.

"He's bluffing me! He's definitely bluffing me! Even the Six Paths Elder didn't notice me just now, how could he..." Black Zetsu pressed himself tightly against the rock wall, not making a sound, desperately trying to mentally prepare himself.

"I'll count to three. If you don't come out on your own, I'll come find you myself." Uchiha Tsuki's voice was completely calm.

"three."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Yue slowly raised his right hand, and in his palm, a deep black absolute gravitational singularity began to compress wildly.

Almost instantly, Black Zetsu, hiding in the crevice of the rock, felt a terrifying suction force powerful enough to tear space apart.

If it wanted, it could forcefully break free, even at the cost of losing some of its Yin-Yang Release essence. But the fact that the opponent only used such a precise probe meant that Uchiha Yue had definitely locked onto its exact coordinates!

Damn it! This Uchiha Tsukuyomi is completely unreasonable! He just yelled "three" right after I told him to count to three?!

"Shh!"

A pool of black mud emerged from the crevice in a disheveled state, transforming into a black lightning bolt, and without hesitation attempted to use its mayfly technique to escape into the depths of the earth.

"Senior Yu Yi," Yue said softly.

The Sage of Six Paths in mid-air narrowed his eyes. Although shocked by the existence of Black Zetsu, he still shook the staff in his hand with perfect coordination.

A massive surge of Six Paths power descended, coinciding with Uchiha Yue's Sage Mode.

"Immortal Technique: Heavenly Ruler!"

"boom!"

Centered on that pool of black mud, the surrounding space seemed to instantly transform into a solid glass with extremely high density!

Black Zetsu's proud Mayfly Technique, which could ignore physical collisions, was actually "squeezed" out of the spatial rift by this all-pervasive gravity and Six Paths Sage Technique!

"What...what the hell is this?!"

Amidst the utter astonishment of Hashirama, Madara, and the Sage of Six Paths in mid-air, a pool of black fluid with two yellow eyes and no facial features was held firmly in mid-air by an invisible force, twisting and struggling wildly.

"Moon, is this the Black Zetsu mentioned in the [Heaven's Will Plan]?" Madara Uchiha frowned, feeling an inexplicable and extreme disgust towards this thing that had planned his destiny.

"Yes, it is Black Zetsu."

Yue turned her head and explained to Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was floating in mid-air: "It is a ball of will that Kaguya Otsutsuki mustered with her last bit of strength before she was sealed away. It has survived in this ninja world for a thousand years, and its only purpose is to incite the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura to kill each other and guide them to release its mother!"

A look of shock flashed across the Sage of Six Paths' face: "Mother's...will? It has been lurking in the shadows of the ninja world right under my nose for so long? I didn't even notice it."

"Let me go! You damned variable! You destroyed Mother's only hope of resurrection!" Black Zetsu screamed shrilly as he was held in mid-air.

"Shut up." Yue glanced at it coldly, then tightened her grip slightly, causing the gravitational field to contract sharply, squeezing Black Judgment until it let out a muffled groan. "Do you still want me to save your mother?"

"What?! You want to save Mother?!"

The Sage of Six Paths shuddered violently, and an unbelievable light burst forth from his Rinnegan eyes.

He stared intently at Uchiha Tsuki, his voice tinged with sternness: "Outsider, do you know how terrifying my mother is? If she is released, the ninja world will face its true end!"

Black Zetsu, who was held firmly in mid-air by gravity, stopped struggling. His yellow eyes glared fiercely at Yue: "Stop pretending! You don't even have the Divine Tree, how could you possibly save her? You're just trying to fool me!"

Uchiha Yue didn't deny Black Zetsu's taunts, but instead turned to look at the Sage of Six Paths: "Senior Hagoromo, you two brothers sealed Kaguya back then, claiming to be saviors of the ninja world. But have you ever thought about why the goddess of the rabbit, who once defied the rules of the Otsutsuki clan and showed compassion for the life on this planet, suddenly changed her personality?"

The Sage of Six Paths paused for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "She wanted to end this war in the ninja world... no, she wanted to build the White Zetsu army to fight against the predators of her own kind, and..."

Chapter 175 The Way to Save Kaguya Otsutsuki

"as well as……"

Uchiha Tsukuyomi picked up where he left off: "If that's all there is to it, she could easily explain it to you two brothers, or even gather the strength of the entire ninja world to fight against the enemy."

"But she didn't. Why? Because she ate that [Divine Tree Fruit]!"

"The fruit of the Divine Tree is not merely an aggregate of immense chakra; it is also a carrier of the Otsutsuki clan's genes! Within it lies the plundering instinct and corrupted will of the [Otsutsuki God] who resides at the pinnacle of the starry sky!"

Yue glanced at the bewildered Black Zetsu and continued, "Kaguya's true intention was to protect this planet and you, but the corrupting will of the 'god' within the Divine Tree's fruit was constantly distorting her soul!"

"A mother's love and the instinct of a star predator clashed fiercely in her mind, and in the end, the desire to protect was twisted into an extreme desire for control!"

"What you sealed away back then was not only your mother, but also a pitiful woman tormented to the point of mental breakdown by the remnant will of the [Otsutsuki God]!"

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths remained silent for a moment, and finally, he nodded heavily.

“That’s right, outsider. What you’re saying, I and Hamura actually sensed it at the last moment when we were sealing our mother.”

Yu Yi sighed, her tone tinged with helplessness: "Within Mother's violent power, we sensed a will that did not belong to her, so we dare not gamble."

“Mother has been deeply corrupted. If the seal is broken, her corrupted will will still be driven by that ‘instinct’ and continue to devour this world. We have no way to purify that will corruption, and we dare not gamble the lives of all the living beings in the ninja world on the probability of her regaining consciousness.”

"Therefore, you chose the most helpless escape—eternal sealing."

Yue nodded. He did not criticize Yui's decision back then, as it was the best solution given the technology and ninjutsu knowledge at the time.

“But, Senior Hagoromo.”

Uchiha Yue suddenly smiled: "What if we don't let her bring out that world-destroying power?"

"What do you mean?" Hagoromo, Madara, Hashirama, and Black Zetsu on the ground were all stunned at the same time.

“In my world, I conducted a study that can extract will and then load it into a specific body. I named this project the ‘Fourth Calamity’ project.”

"Based on this plan, we can extract Kaguya Otsutsuki's will into a weak body. If the extracted will is corrupted, we can react at will; otherwise, if the will is not corrupted, Kaguya can use that body to gain freedom."

Yue looked at Black Zetsu, who was being held in mid-air: "In this new body, Kaguya is no longer the goddess of the rabbit bearing the mission of the Otsutsuki clan. She will become a 'person' with independent free will!"

The language used by Yue is already simple and easy to understand, so in order to accommodate them, no technical jargon was used at all.

Even so, his explanation was still incredibly moving.

The phantom of the Sage of Six Paths hovering in mid-air trembled slightly with his purple Rinnegan eyes. He had lived for over a thousand years, and this was the first time he had ever heard such an absurd theory.

"Absurd... This is simply a fantasy!"

Black Zetsu trembled slightly, "Stuff Mother's soul into the body you've created? How could that possibly succeed? What if Mother's soul dissipates during the transfer?"

The Sage of Six Paths also took a deep breath: "Outsider, your idea does indeed avoid the pollution of that will, but the transfer of the soul and the bearing of the body... the margin for error is too low. I... cannot easily trust you."

“I understand your concerns; after all, this is a high-stakes gamble.”

With a casual wave of her hand, Yue removed the gravity of the Heavenly Lord and threw Black Zetsu to the ground.

"Therefore, I don't intend to let you make a decision now."

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. You are welcome to come with me across time and space to my world and see for yourselves the real progress we have made in deconstructing chakra and the soul!"

"Once you are certain that my technology is sufficient to contain Kaguya's soul, then we can discuss how to save Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Upon hearing the invitation, Black Zetsu on the ground immediately turned into a puddle of mud and scurried to the feet of the Sage of Six Paths.

"it is good."

The illusory image of the Sage of Six Paths glanced at Uchiha Tsuki and finally nodded.

“I will go with you. If you can truly give my mother and this world a path to redemption that does not require bloodshed, I am willing to give everything to help you.”

"readily."

Yue smiled contentedly.

"Also, there's something else, which concerns your Konoha."

Hashirama and Madara exchanged a glance: "What is it?"

"It's about Konoha's development direction. This matter isn't urgent; it needs to be planned slowly. Let's go back to Konoha to rest for a while and deal with the public opinion at the same time."

Uchiha Yue rubbed his temples and exhaled a long breath.

The continuous battles and his explanations to the Sage of Six Paths and Black Zetsu had left him extremely exhausted.

Not only him, but also Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha, lying in the ruins, were truly at their last gasp.

Moreover, he has already successfully captured the wisp of the Sage of Six Paths' soul and Black Zetsu, the sixth oldest of the six Paths. The biggest strategic goal of this trip has been achieved, so there is really no need to continue with a lengthy explanation.

"Very well." Hashirama Senju struggled to his feet, dusted himself off, and said with a wry smile, "Konoha is probably already destroyed."

Madara Uchiha snorted coldly. Although he didn't say anything, he silently stood up, supporting himself with his fan.

With a wave of his hand, Yue dispersed the remaining gravitational field around him.

"Let's go back and finish the 'grand finale' of this play for the ninja world."

……

A few days later, a sudden downpour enveloped the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Along with the cold rain, what struck the villagers' hearts was an obituary that was enough to cause a magnitude 12 earthquake throughout the entire ninja world.

The battle at the Valley of the End has come to an end.
