Naruto: Starting with the Two Kamui

With a flash of light, the water gate vanished from the spot.

Glug glug...!

At the same time, the shadowy figure that had been observing from the shadows withdrew.

"Interesting. I never imagined that during the ten years I was absent, the world would change so drastically, in a direction completely opposite to my expectations..."

“Obito has already fought Madara, which means he has likely told Madara that I am Kaguya's Will and the truth about the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Although Madara might not believe it, it's inevitable that he will be wary of me. Therefore, it's not advisable for me to appear before Madara rashly…”

"Hmph, but to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, all one needs is to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki and possess the Rinnegan in both eyes. The pawn to carry out this mission doesn't necessarily have to be Madara..."

"The reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths? Hmph... So that's how Obito tricked that brat Nagato. Fine, I'll play along!"

"But accomplishing this won't be so simple. Although I'm very reluctant, I have no choice but to go and meet that guy!"

Chapter 488 Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun!

In an underground space that no one can detect.

"Hey Isshiki, can you believe it? That kid (Obito) actually revealed that I am Kaguya's will, and he even knows that I used Madara to revive my mother..."

"I was so shocked that I couldn't move. My instinct was that he was related to the Otsutsuki clan! So I pretended to be killed by him, hoping to find out his background in secret!"

"Later I ruled out the possibility that he was from the Otsutsuki clan. He must have been someone who traveled from the future to the past through some means, and thus mastered the secrets of the world!"

"But he doesn't seem to know... the only way to kill me is through Yin-Yang Escape Technique! But because of that guy Tobi, I still suffered some damage!"

"So, Black Zetsu, is this your reason for waking me up?" Otsutsuki Isshiki (Jigen) propped his chin on one arm, gazing at Black Zetsu in front of him with a deep look.

Yes.

It was Black Zetsu; it hadn't died.

Although Lin Yu had a thorough understanding of the Naruto world, there was a difference between theory and practice. The day he attacked Black Zetsu was the first day he transmigrated to the Naruto world. At that time, he didn't even know how to use decent ninjutsu and just wanted to kill Black Zetsu as soon as possible!

Later, after he truly mastered the skills of a ninja, he naturally had doubts in his heart, wondering if Black Zetsu was really dead, but he could never sense Black Zetsu's presence in the space-time continuum.

After that, Black Zetsu truly disappeared without a trace.

Concealing its presence is Black Zetsu's specialty. If it wants to hide, even the Sage of Six Paths cannot easily detect its existence... let alone Yu.

Thus, Black Zetsu remained hidden in Lin Yu's time and space, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback!

Lin Yu fell into a coma, while Madara and Kabuto traveled back and forth through time and space... This alerted Black Zetsu, and the opportunity had finally arrived!

"Isshiki, have you forgotten the promise you made to your mother back then?" Isshiki's cold attitude made Black Zetsu's tone even more forceful.

Isshiki was Kaguya's attendant. The two were sent to Earth by the Otsutsuki clan to guard the Divine Tree.

But both master and servant fell in love with Earth...

Kaguya fell in love with the land itself, while Isshiki fell in love with the way of life of humankind.

Unable to bear seeing the land engulfed in war and destroyed, Kaguya betrayed the Otsutsuki clan, took the fruit of the Divine Tree without permission, gained supreme power, and single-handedly quelled the war.

As for her later changing her mind and launching the Infinite Tsukuyomi, that's another matter. But her original intention in consuming the fruit of the Divine Tree was indeed to quell the war on Earth.

Shiki and Kaguya parted ways due to their differing ideas, but because they faced a common threat, they made a pact that they would not interfere with each other, but would cooperate when faced with a survival crisis.

Yishi said, "I have never forgotten our promise, but Black Zetsu, you are now nothing but a stray dog..."

Black Zetsu clenched his fist: "I admit that my plan had flaws. I mistook that person for a nobody, which is why I've become so passive. But I've been building my foundation for over a thousand years. How can his mere ten years compare? Right now, I have a way to turn the tide and take back everything!"

Isshiki said, "Are you referring to Uchiha Madara, who was resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique?"

Black Zetsu said, "No! It's not Madara! Madara is indeed the best pawn, but he's probably already wary of me! To revive Mother, we don't necessarily need to go through Madara; we just need to go through Madara's Rinnegan!"

"And now, Madara's Rinnegan is in the hands of a man named Nagato, and he has already obtained eight of the nine tailed beasts. He is only one step away from the condition of reviving his mother!"

Yishiki said, "I know Nagato... He is Uchiha Yu, oh, that is, the subordinate of the 'Obito' you mentioned. Nagato is deeply influenced by Obito, and he is not someone you can easily shake."

"Hmph, Obito is currently unconscious, this is the perfect opportunity..."

What are you planning to do?

"Nagato firmly believed he was the reincarnation of the Sage of Six Paths! Little did he know that it was a lie Obito fabricated to manipulate him!"

"So, you're going to expose this lie?"

Black Zetsu's eyes gleamed: "No! Quite the opposite! I'm going to use this lie to manipulate Nagato!"

Are you serious?

“I know this is difficult... so, I want to get something from you!”

“You mean…” Ichishiki narrowed his eyes.

"The chakra of the Divine Tree's offspring!"

Very few people know this secret...

Thousands of years ago, that divine tree on Earth existed in the form of a 'mother and daughter tree'!

The mother plant is the one we know, which can flower and bear fruit. The offspring plants grow in the shadow of the mother plant, which can flower but will not bear fruit.

The sacred tree has a home.

The fate of the Otsutsuki clan depends on which member consumes the fruit of the Divine Tree!

Responding to the will of its master, the Divine Tree will transform into the Ten-Tails... to fight for its master!

After Kaguya consumed the fruit, it resonated with her will.

The mother and daughter trees of the divine tree each transformed into ten tails!

The mother plant turned into a 'large ten-tailed' plant, and the daughter plant turned into a 'small ten-tailed' plant!

Both the large and small Ten-Tails are Kaguya's will.

However, the little ten-tailed fox of the plant was obtained by Isshiki and imprisoned. After all, the two were partners, and Kaguya knew this but tacitly approved it.

With one move, Black Zetsu was brought into the space where the Ten-Tails was being held captive.

Black Zetsu peered through the gap at the young Ten-Tails and exclaimed, "Oh!! Not bad, it's grown so much bigger than it was back then!"

Isshiki said, "I set up a large-scale technique. The chakra consumed by humans on the ground... will be absorbed by the technique like a trickle, strengthening the power of the Ten-Tails. Over a thousand years, it has finally grown to its current size... its power is about 'thirty percent' of the Great Ten-Tails."

Black Zetsu said, "Ichishiki, you truly deserve to be someone who serves the third princess of the Otsutsuki main family!"

Kaguya's status in the Otsutsuki family is that of the supreme third princess!

Yi Shi coldly replied, "Stop flattering me... How confident are you?"

Hei Jue said, "Ninety-five percent! If it succeeds, Mother will be successfully resurrected, which will save you a lot of time. I know that... Ever since Mother was sealed by those two rebellious sons, you have been preparing for the worst. Without Mother's power, you alone cannot fight against those guys!"

"..." After pondering for a long time, he snapped his fingers.

Boom!

The sealed prison opened, but unlike before, this time the Ten-Tails didn't roar incessantly as usual. Instead, it obediently cooperated by sending its chakra into Black Zetsu's body...

"Mother, please wait a little longer. Your son will do everything in his power to bring you back to life!"

Black Zetsu called out gently, "Kuma!" His posture changed, and he completely transformed into the appearance of the Sage of Six Paths!

Chapter 489 Manipulating Heaven and Earth!

Another month passed, and Akatsuki had successively sealed the Six-Tails, Seven-Tails, and Eight-Tails.

The Gedo Mazo already contains the chakra of all the tailed beasts except for the Nine-Tails!

Payne said, "Thank you all for your hard work during this time. From now on, you are free to do as you please. I will call you all back if there is any emergency!"

The members of Xiao dispersed.

Inside the tower of the Hidden Rain, Konan and Pain stood side by side.

Xiao Nan sighed, "Without realizing it, we've already reached this point..."

Pain said gratefully, "Yes, Akatsuki's ability to collect the Tailed Beasts so efficiently is inseparable from the efforts and sacrifices of the members, and even more so from Mr. Yu's dedication in sending over the Tailed Beasts despite his busy schedule."

Konan looked at Tendou's profile: "Nine-Tails, what are you planning to do?"

Payne gazed at the sky: "Let's wait... Mr. Yu has waited ten whole years for me to be where I am today. His daughter is in trouble now. If I can't even wait this long, wouldn't I be an ungrateful wretch!"

"I see." Xiao Nan withdrew her gaze, a faint smile appearing on her lips. "Since this is your decision, I unconditionally support you!"

Payne said, "Nan, I'm so grateful to you all these years... Without your support, I probably wouldn't be where I am today!"

With a whoosh, Xiao Nan smiled and stretched out her arms, her body disintegrating into pieces of paper: "Between us, there's no need for thanks. I'm going to inspect the village..."

"Go."

After Konan left, Payne walked to the wall and stretched out his palm.

call out!

The wall opened, revealing six coffins displayed in a dark room.

Pain entered and lay down in one of the coffins. As the coffin lid closed, Pain's eyes slowly closed.

In front of the Buddhist hall outside Yuyin Village.

Nagato sat on the steps, gazing at the old man of unknown origin before him.

The old man had his back to Nagato, wore a white robe, had two horns on his head, and held a black tin staff.

He sat suspended in mid-air, the edges of his robes rising like flames. Yes, he was not a physical being, but existed as a spirit!

"Excuse me... who are you?" Nagato asked in surprise.

"Oh, you can see me now. You've grown to this extent, my reincarnation..." the old man in mid-air spoke.

"A reincarnated person... Could it be!?" Nagato asked incredulously.

"That's right, I am the Sage of Six Paths, the founder of the Ninja Sect, and also your past life!" The old man, who was sitting in mid-air, slowly turned around... His aged face and the Rinnegan that were exactly the same as Nagato's!

"!!!" Nagato stood up, his eyes wide open: "It really is, the Sage of Six Paths!!"

Because the ineffable sublime posture presented to Nagato is the most authoritative form of persuasion!

Is it really the manifestation of the Six Realms?

Of course not! The Sage of Six Paths spirit before us is Black Zetsu in disguise!
