Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

"From now on, this is where you'll live."

Even though he knew that this might be the room prepared for Kaguya, Black Zetsu still said this.

"Thank you." Xianglin bowed and thanked her.

Kaguya quietly watched the two people coming in and out, with an indescribable emotion in her heart.

What are you doing?

After a while, Yang Xi appeared again with Kimimaro.

As soon as he returned home, he walked towards the kitchen and prepared to cook.

After all, there are so many mouths waiting to be fed.

"Wait a minute." Black Zetsu called him, "White Zetsu has prepared the food."

Yang Xi gave him a strange look, "Black Zetsu, why are you still here? Aren't you worried that Obito might get suspicious?"

"It'll just take a little time, he won't doubt it." Black Zetsu said stiffly.

Yang Xi didn't care and walked to the dining table.

The moment the lid of the dinner was opened, his expression froze.

What are these four plates of black solidified substances, just a mess?

"As expected of you, Bai Zetsu, you are amazing, your cooking skills are amazing!"

White Zetsu didn't hear the sarcasm at all, and thought it was a compliment, and said proudly: "Of course, I took care of Madara back then, too."

"So he's dead." Yang Xi responded without turning his head.

Kaguya: "..."

"I'll do it myself." Yang Xi sighed and decided to cook by himself.

"Hey, don't you want to try it?" Black Zetsu interrupted.

"Taste the shit."

"Oh hehe..." Black Zetsu suddenly let out a strange laugh.

Kaguya's eyes flickered as she looked at him coldly, "Ze, you will eat those things."

Black Zetsu's expression froze for a moment, but he could only do as he was told. He poured it all into his mouth, swallowed it down with a gurgling sound, and gave Kaguya a thumbs up.

Half an hour later, several dishes were freshly cooked. Kimimaro and Karin helped to serve them and took out some sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Sitting around the dining table, several people started dinner.

Jue also occupies a position.

Yang Xi couldn't help but ask again, "Is it really okay to disappear for so long?"

Hei Jue did not answer, but sat steadily in his seat, but he was complaining in his heart: My mother and I are the members of this family, you people are all outsiders!

After eating and drinking, Zetsu put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to Kaguya, "Mother, let's go back."

Mother?

Hearing his address, Karin and Kimimaro were both stunned and looked at Kaguya and Zetsu in amazement.

These two people don’t look like they are from the same species. Are they really mother and son?

Chapter 144: You're ruining my good deeds

go back? Back to where?

Yang Xi raised his head and looked towards Kaguya and Zetsu.

He met Kaguya's eyes, and neither of them spoke.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Black Zetsu continued, "I took a look before. Yang Xi's house has a total of three bedrooms. It was probably planned when his parents were still alive. One for his parents, one for him, and then there is a guest room."

"It just so happens that he, Karin, and Kimimaro each have their own room."

After secretly glancing at Kaguya's expression, Black Zetsu smiled and said, "Mother, if you really need a place to stay, why not go to the Land of Hot Springs?"

"White Zetsu has already occupied that place. It has everything, including a magnificent palace and maids. They have arranged everything and will definitely serve you comfortably..."

Kaguya paused with her chopsticks and said nothing. She just looked at Yang Xi calmly, as if asking: What do you mean?

According to Kaguya's idea, she naturally hopes to stay here.

However, she couldn't bring herself to say that she had to compete for a room with a bunch of little brats.

At this moment, Kaguya was also quite dissatisfied. Knowing that there were only a few rooms in the house, why did he suddenly bring so many people back? What was he thinking...

Yang Xi wanted to say something but stopped.

Kimimaro and Karin are two fragile little guys, and it seems heartbreaking to let either of them leave.

But it doesn’t seem like a good idea to let Kaguya live so far away.

He had never expected that Black Zetsu would make the decision for him. He had originally planned to have Kaguya live under the same roof with him, and had left Kimimaro and Karin to Tsunade.

The expression on Jue's face was unpredictable.

As for Karin and Kimimaro.

Kimimaro was still very dull.

Xianglin, who was used to watching people's faces and observing their words and expressions, felt that the atmosphere at the moment was strange.

Kaguya raised her eyebrows, waiting for Yang Xi to keep her.

There was a knock on the door, and Xianglin immediately stood up and said, "I'll go open the door."

After a while, Karin came over with Hinata Hiashi.

Realizing the presence of a stranger, Jue quickly hid himself.

Hinata Hiashi is not on his trust list.

Hiashi glanced at Karin who was with him and Kimimaro whom he had never seen before.

Strangely, a few strangers appeared again.

However, considering that these two people might be related to Kaguya, he did not ask any further questions.

Hiashi showed respect, but bowed his head slightly, and asked Kaguya, "Ancestor Kaguya, do you need to inform all the tribesmen of your arrival?"

"No need." Kaguya said indifferently.

Hiashi nodded slightly and continued, "Ancestor Kaguya, I have ordered people to clean up a house and arranged servants. Do you want to..."

Glancing in Yang Xi's direction, Kaguya's lips curled up slightly, "Lead the way."

Rizu led the way and took her into the vacant house.

Black Zetsu cursed in his heart: Hyuga Hiashi, you ruined my plan!

Yang Xi was impressed by Rizu's understanding.

Since we all live in the Hyuga family, we'll see each other every day, so it's no big deal.

After the two figures disappeared one after another, he reappeared and followed quietly.

night.

Kaguya walked out of the room, looked up, and stared at the night sky.

"Mother..." Black Zetsu called softly.

She said nothing, but Black Zetsu knew she was listening.

"Mother, Jiraiya has recently contacted Nagato and Konan from the Akatsuki organization. Perhaps they will unite in the future."

"Moreover, he has appeared in the Kingdom of Hot Springs again in the past few days. Several peripheral members of the Akatsuki organization have also been staying in the Kingdom of Hot Springs."

"I think we can stop waiting for Akatsuki to act and take the initiative now."

"Konoha, the Hidden Cloud Village, and several other countries, with the power you control now, you can start capturing the tailed beasts." Black Zetsu spoke confidently.

He thought that as long as he handed over the control of the plan to his mother, he would not have to lurk in the Akatsuki organization all the time and could be with her all the time.

As for Uchiha Madara, there is no need to resurrect him.

If the mother wanted, she could wait for her to retract the Ten-Tails and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi again.

Moreover, apart from the two special existences of Nagato and Obito, the combat power of the two villages of Konoha and Kumogakure is much stronger than the Akatsuki organization, which is always recruiting people.

Kaguya turned to look at him and said calmly, "Really? In that case, go and bring back the Rinnegan and the Outer Path Demon Statue. I can't do everything myself."

"..." Black Zetsu was silent, feeling a little headache.

This matter is indeed very difficult for him.

"Besides the tailed beasts, where else is chakra concentrated?" Kaguya asked after a long time.

"The energy of the Gray Stone, that thing, can be absorbed by White Zetsu, so you can too." After thinking about it, Black Zetsu said.

"The dragon veins at the Loulan ruins also have a lot of chakra, but that place is very dangerous. It is said that someone once relied on the dragon veins to travel through time and space. If you are not careful, it may cause chaos in time and space."

Kaguya responded calmly and walked into the room.

Black Zetsu hesitated for a while, but decided to leave first.

He felt a little lost.

He always felt that his mother's reaction was very cold, which was completely different from the reunion he had imagined.

Even when it comes to retrieving the tailed beasts, her attitude doesn't seem as eager as before. Why is that?

On the way, Hei Zetsu said to Bai Zetsu on the other side of his body, "Bai Zetsu, if mother has any interaction with Hinata Yangxi, you must tell me in time."

"Okay." Bai Zetsu laughed.

Why hasn't he come to see me yet? Kaguya thought silently in her heart.

When she thought about the three people at Yang Xi's place having fun together, while she had to face a group of timid strangers, she felt a little uncomfortable.

It's like I'm an outsider.

With this body or without it, it seems like nothing has changed.

...

The next morning.

After washing up, Yang Xi walked into the living room and a fragrance wafted into his nose.

Following the scent, he looked carefully.

Kimimaro and Karin were making breakfast in the kitchen in tacit understanding.

These two are so well behaved, he sighed in his heart.

"Kaguya, how are you there?" Yang Xi asked.

Ever since Kaguya created a body, she, who was originally in the spiritual world, has rarely spoken.

"Very good." After a long time, Kaguya's voice as calm as water came into his mind.

After breakfast, Yang Xi took Karin and Kimimaro to the Hokage Building to find Tsunade and solve the identity issues of these two people.

The date of the succession ceremony was approaching, but Tsunade did not skip work and stayed quietly in the Hokage's office.

...

"Where do they live, with you?"

"Yeah." Yang Xi nodded.

"Then who is taking care of them, you?" Tsunade asked again.

"Don't worry, Lady Tsunade. They are capable of survival."

Tsunade leaned on the backrest of the Hokage's seat, her body slightly leaning back. She looked at Karin and asked, "Karin, do you want to live with me? The Uzumaki clan had contact with the Senju clan in the past. My grandmother was also from the Uzumaki clan."

After hesitating for a while, Xianglin still shook her head and refused.

"Okay." Tsunade said helplessly, "I have some scrolls of the Uzumaki clan. If you want them, you can come to me."
