Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

The second time was originally intended for Madara Uchiha, but Black Zetsu couldn't care less about that now; self-preservation was the priority.

"Oh dear, what are you doing? I, Kisame Hoshigaki, only summoned you to discuss a collaboration. There's no need for such a big reaction, is there?"

Kisame seemed completely unaware of his dangerous situation, instead spreading his hands and saying something with a hint of helplessness.

"You're finished, you idiot! Whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, go to hell and talk to Death."

Black Zetsu sneered repeatedly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he added more force, intending to seize Kisame's body and consciousness in one fell swoop.

"is it?"

Kisame chuckled softly, and without making any visible movement, an incredibly terrifying power suddenly erupted from his body.

A sharp sound.

The space around Kisame's body seemed to be shattered by that power, and Black Zetsu let out a miserable scream, turning into countless black liquids that splashed in all directions.

Ten minutes later.

The black liquid on the ground finally managed to gather together again, reverting to its original form, Black Zetsu. However, it was now a whole size smaller than before and looked extremely weak and listless.

It stared intently at Kisame, and after a moment of silence, finally asked, "What... what do you want?"

After failing to possess Kisame, Black Zetsu finally realized that the Kisame before him had not only reached the Six Paths level, but was also one of the best among the Six Paths level experts.

It turns out that the other party's death was faked from the very beginning. Kisame Hoshigaki had been hiding in the shadows, manipulating everything in Kirigakure and the ninja world.

Even Tsunade, the goddess of ninjas, might just be a puppet pushed to the forefront by Kisame.

Black Zetsu grew increasingly terrified as he thought about it, and the black liquid on his body dripped down like cold sweat.

"I've already said, I'm not here to harm you, but to help you. Why can't you let me finish what I have to say?"

Kisame sighed.

"Help me? What can you do to help me?" Black Zetsu retorted, unsure of Kisame's true intentions.

"Of course, it's to help you fulfill your thousand-year-old wish, which is to resurrect your mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Kisame didn't keep them in suspense and said it directly.

Black Zetsu shuddered upon hearing this, but was no longer as surprised as before. Since Kisame even knew that he was Kaguya's son, it wasn't surprising that he knew about its plans.

Logically, Black Zetsu should have been overjoyed to learn that its mother could be resurrected, but it couldn't be happy at all.

"Why did you help me resurrect my mother?" it asked again, filled with suspicion.

"Because your mother stole the fruit of the Divine Tree, the Otsutsuki clan from deep within the universe found out about it. They are sending people to Earth, which will pose a huge threat to everyone in the ninja world."

Kisame answered all questions and revealed his purpose in reviving Kaguya: "I need to learn as much information about the Otsutsuki clan as possible from Kaguya Otsutsuki in order to prepare a countermeasure."

307. Kaguya the Resurrected

Black Zetsu isn't a three-year-old child; naturally, it wouldn't easily believe Kisame's lies.

"You resurrected my mother, aren't you afraid that her power will threaten you?"

It squinted at Kisame and continued to ask.

"Threaten me? She's not worthy." Kisame replied calmly, looking like he had no one else to rely on. Of course, in Black Zetsu's eyes, it was just pure arrogance.

"Fine, even if I accept your good intentions, do you really understand what conditions are needed to resurrect my mother?"

Black Zetsu seemed willing to believe Kisame, but inwardly it was mocking him madly.

In its view, Kisame was too arrogant, thinking he was in control of everything, but in reality, he had no idea what was going on.

It's important to know that its mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was the progenitor of chakra. All the chakra in the ninja world today originated from her, including the chakra within Kisame's body.

Once Kaguya is resurrected, all the chakra in this world will inevitably be taken back by her.

"Of course I know."

Kisame said this, seemingly unaware of the situation. As soon as he finished speaking, he summoned the Gedo Mazo, seated atop a purple lotus throne, right in front of Black Zetsu.

Then, Kisame reached in and pulled out a semi-transparent ball of light from who-knows-where. The phantoms of the nine tailed beasts frolicked inside, emitting enormous energy fluctuations.

"What is this?" Black Zetsu asked in surprise, staring at the ball of light in Kisame's hand.

“The Hidden Mist Village has already collected all nine tailed beasts, have you forgotten? This ball of light is made up of a portion of the chakra I extracted from each of the nine tailed beasts. Of course, this amount of energy is definitely not enough to revive the Gedo Mazo, so I added my own chakra to it.”

After Kisame finished explaining, he threw the ball of light in his hand, which suddenly transformed into nine tailed beast phantoms in mid-air and "shush shush shush" entered the body of the Gedo Mazo.

Does this really work?

Black Zetsu looked doubtful, as if Kisame was playing around, but soon, the expression on its face was completely replaced by surprise.

Swish.

The demonic statue, which had been sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, suddenly opened one of its nine tightly closed eyes, its eyeball darting around as it looked around.

Swish swish.

Before long, the second, third, and eighth eyes opened one after another. During this process, the demonic statue slowly rose from the lotus platform, seemingly about to be resurrected.

at last.

When the golem opened its ninth eye, it roared to the sky like a prehistoric monster awakening on the desolate lunar surface, while countless rays of light shot out from its body.

Under Black Zetsu's incredulous gaze, the Gedo Mazo's body expanded wildly, transforming in a few breaths into a super creature with ten enormous tails and a single Sharingan on its forehead.

The Ten-Tails has been revived.

However, the ten-tailed form was only a fleeting moment. Its enormous body quickly changed again, shrinking back down until it gradually took on the shape of a woman.

The woman wore a wide robe embroidered with black and white magatama patterns. Her eyes were closed, and she floated in mid-air with her arms outstretched. Behind her, her long blue and white hair moved without wind, making her look like a fairy.

"mother"

Upon witnessing this scene, Black Zetsu burst into tears. The figure that had haunted its dreams had finally reappeared in the world after a thousand years of bitter waiting.

Overjoyed, Black Zetsu, without saying a word, flew towards Kaguya Otsutsuki in mid-air.

It knew that its mother's physical body had been resurrected by Kisame Hoshigaki, and all it needed to do was return it to its mother's body to awaken her consciousness and make her open her eyes.

But just then, Kisame's voice came from the side.

"When Kaguya was sealed away by her two sons, she separated her memories from her body and placed them within you. So I think that to perfectly revive her, all we need is those memories, right?"

He appeared out of thin air in front of Black Zetsu, grinned, and with one hand he pinned Black Zetsu down. No matter how the latter changed its form, it could not break free.

After searching through Black Zetsu's mind, Kisame successfully located Kaguya's sealed consciousness and extracted it.

stop.

With a flick of his finger, the consciousness flew into the air and finally entered Kaguya's brow.

As for you

Kisame turned around, looked at Black Zetsu, shook his head and said, "Your mission is complete. Go in peace."

He did intend to revive Kaguya, but he did not intend to keep Black Zetsu, his dutiful son, lest it become Kaguya's strategist and cause future trouble.

Therefore, after Kisame separated Kaguya's consciousness from Black Zetsu, he did not hesitate to discard her without hesitation.

Chi Chi Chi.

At that moment, Kisame's palm turned as red as rolling lava, and puffs of white smoke rose from it, like a sea of ​​lava on the surface of the sun, rapidly evaporating the Black Zetsu that was almost within reach.

"No!"

Black Zetsu let out a desperate roar, its body rapidly melting and disappearing. Its eyes were fixed on Kaguya Otsutsuki in mid-air, filled with longing and resentment.

In the last second before Black Zetsu completely disappeared, it suddenly noticed that Kaguya's eyelids twitched, and she was about to open her eyes.

Unfortunately, it will never be seen again.

After dealing with Black Zetsu, the guy who had plagued the ninja world for a thousand years, Kisame looked up and met the gaze of Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was looking down from mid-air.

This woman, like the Otsutsuki clan on the moon, had pale skin and long blue-white hair, the length of which even exceeded her entire body.

She had a delicate face, white eyes, and a pair of horns on her forehead, a symbol of her pure Otsutsuki bloodline.

In addition, what is most striking is the third eye located between her eyebrows.

It was an eye with the ripples of the Rinnegan, the red appearance of the Sharingan, and the tomoe, possessing the characteristics of both; it was the true progenitor's eye.

The Sharingan of Reincarnation.

"Success."

Kisame stared at Kaguya Otsutsuki in mid-air and muttered to himself.

Kisame had been thinking about the plan to revive Kaguya for a long time, but when it came to actually implementing it, he still wasn't very confident.

What if we fail and Kaguya can never be resurrected?

Well, let's just leave it at that. Consider it an act of justice, since Kaguya didn't do anything good in her lifetime anyway.

However, it seems that Kisame's luck, or rather, Kaguya Otsutsuki's luck, is not bad.

"How much time has passed? Have I finally been resurrected?"

In the air, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had just woken up, glanced at Kisame before looking away, examining her own body, and muttering to herself.

She looked completely bewildered, not knowing where she was or what year or month it was. After a while, as her consciousness gradually returned, her eyes became bright and alert.

However, before she could figure out the situation, she discovered a new problem.

"Why are my hands so small? They're different from what I remember."

Kaguya suddenly panicked, realizing something was wrong. She quickly reached out and slashed through the air, and an ice mirror appeared in front of her.

The Kaguya in the mirror was not the Kaguya she looked like when she was sealed away in her previous life. Instead, she had a youthful face, a small stature, and thin arms that couldn't support the wide robe.

Kaguya finally discovered with a look of surprise

She was resurrected, but not completely. Or rather, she wasn't resurrected to her full potential, but rather as a girl of about twelve years old.

This was Kisame's intention.

He couldn't possibly use all nine tailed beasts to revive the Ten-Tails, nor could he possibly share half of the chakra within him, equivalent to the natural energy of two Earths, with Kaguya.

Therefore, due to Kisame's shoddy workmanship, Kaguya was barely resurrected, but at this time she was not in her complete form, but only a youthful version.
