Hinata and Black Zetsu Secretly Met

The Land of Rainbow is located south of the Land of Water, and like the Land of Water, it is an island nation.

The land area of Land of Rainbow is not smaller than that of the Land of Water, but because there are no ninjas in the country, it is not among the Five Great Nations.

Like the Land of Iron, the Land of Rainbow is also a land of samurai, and has always maintained a neutral stance in the ninja wars.

With the Wind God and Thunder God by her side, Hinata departed from Konoha and set sail from a port on the southeastern coast of the Land of Fire, heading towards the Land of Rainbow.

After drifting at sea for more than half a month, Hinata landed at a port on the northwest coast of the Land of Rainbow and entered the territory of the Land of Rainbow.

The Land of Rainbow is a land of samurai, and ninjas are highly ostracized there. Hinata, adapting to local customs, also took off her ninja attire and dressed as an ordinary person.

With sunglasses on, no one can see Hinata's Byakugan.

The Wind God and the Thunder God disguised themselves Hinata, while Hinata pretended to be a wealthy young lady on a trip and stayed overnight at an inn in a town near the port.

"This place is very wealthy!"

The customs and traditions of the Land of Rainbow are completely different from those of the Land of Water. The people here are martial, and they have maintained neutrality and peace for many years. Their economic development far surpasses that of the Land of Water.

Just by looking at the residents of the town, Hinata could sense a completely different spirit.

"The Pervy Sage and Naruto are here now..."

Hinata lay on the bed looking at a map of the Land of Rainbow, marking the locations of Jiraiya and Naruto on it.

The two simpletons, Wind God and Thunder God, were clearly incapable of discussing countermeasures with Hinata, leaving Hinata to hide in her room and study the situation on her own.

Fortunately, Hinata had left a coded message for White Zetsu before setting off. If Black Zetsu is in the Land of Rainbow, he should contact Hinata within the next couple of days.

Having calculated the approximate distance and time, Hinata, pulled the blanket over her head, and fell fast asleep.

The next morning, Hinata strolled around the town alone, learning about the local customs and culture of the Land of Rainbow while gathering some useful information.

The Land of Rainbow is not isolated; it has commercial relations with coastal countries such as the Land of Fire, the Land of Water, the Land of Hot Water, and the Land of Tea. Although samurai also have chakra, their usage is completely different from that of ninjas.

Hinata also sensed some chakra reactions on the street, but they were very faint.

The Five Great Nations maintain a balance of power, and few ninja villages would actively provoke these neutral nations dominated by samurai.

The Land of Rainbow of Land of Rainbow still maintains the oldest customs and traditions, and is one of the few remaining ancient countries in the Ninja World.

That evening, Hinata returned to the inn, intending to wait for Black Zetsu one last night. If Black Zetsu didn't come that night, Hinata would have to leave the next day to reunite with Jiraiya, Naruto, and the others.

Around 7 p. m., Hinata was curled up in bed reading a novel.

"Wow! You're really taking it easy!"

Hearing White Zetsu's slightly irritating voice, Hinata put down her novel and turned to look at the empty space in the middle of the room.

Half-black and half-white Zetsu emerged from the ground and asked Black Zetsu, "Hinata, what happened in that battle in the Land of Fire?"

"Huh! You didn't know?"

Hinata was somewhat surprised, then explained, "They are from the Otsutsuki clan, but they have been sealed away!"

"Otsutsuki? A seal?"

When Black Zetsu surveyed the battlefield earlier, he sensed that the two sides in this battle were no ordinary ninjas. In particular, the traces left by 'Chibaku Tensei' were something others might not be aware of, but Black Zetsu knew it all too well.

Black Zetsu cared deeply about this matter.

Who exactly was sealed away? And who used Chibaku Tensei? Is this person still in the Shinobi World?

Black Zetsu asked Hinata, originally just wanting to test whether the matter was related to Hinata, but unexpectedly it really was related to Hinata.

Hinata explained, "The enemy is Urashiki Otsutsuki. In terms of strength, he is far inferior to Kaguya, let alone the Sage of Sage of Six Paths and Hamura."

"Urashiki is probably just an Otsutsuki clan, here to investigate information about Kaguya's ancestors!"

Black Zetsu looked grave, not expecting that the Otsutsuki clan had actually come looking for them.

Who sealed away the Otsutsuki?

It's me!

Hinata shamelessly said, "I borrowed the power of my ancestor Hamura and used Chibaku Tensei to seal Urashiki Otsutsuki!"

Black Zetsu looked at Hinata with a strange expression. "Hamura's chakra still remains in this world..."

"That's right! If Hamura hadn't told you everything, you wouldn't know about Mom!"

After a pause, Black Zetsu asked again, "Is there any other information about the Otsutsuki clan?"

Hinata shook her head and slowly said, "That's all! But the Tsutsuki clan's enemies are obviously not just Urashiki. If Urashiki is just a foot soldier, then there will definitely be stronger enemies to come. We must revive our ancestor Kaguya as soon as possible!"

At this point, Hinata asked seriously, "You're the one who set up that ancient ruin that Jiraiya discovered?"

Black Zetsu admitted, "That's right!"

"I've set up some obstacles in the ruins. Konoha will definitely send you here to explore them!"

Hinata asked in surprise, "You want to see me?"

Black Zetsu explained, "Besides asking about the Land of Fire, there's something else I need your help with!"

Hinata asked, bewildered, "What is it?"

Black Zetsu's voice was low and solemn as he said, "Thirteen years ago, Obito Uchiha orchestrated the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha. The Fourth Hokage at the time used the 'Reaper Death Seal' to split the Nine-Tails in two, sealing one half inside Naruto and the other half inside himself..."

"I was right there, but I was powerless to stop it..."

"I hope you can help me steal the 'Reaper Death Seal' secret technique. I will try to release the other half of the Nine-Tails' chakra."

Hinata scratched her head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh, about that!"

"Speaking of which... Konoha may not have a way to break the 'Reaper Death Seal'. Instead of starting with Konoha, it would be better to start with Orochimaru."

"The Third Hokage used this technique to seal Orochimaru's hands, Orochimaru will definitely do everything in his power to research the 'Reaper Death Seal'. Perhaps Orochimaru has already exchanged the 'Reaper Death Seal' with Danzo of Root at some price."

"However, I will try my best to see what happens in Konoha!"

White Zetsu said with a playful tone, "Orochimaru? I heard Sasori has been tracking Orochimaru lately... Should we recall Orochimaru to the organization?"

Black Zetsu remained silent for a moment, then said calmly, "With Itachi Uchiha around, Orochimaru wouldn't have the face to come back."

"If we can find Orochimaru's whereabouts, we can get Nagato to take action."

White Zetsu said, "Leave it to me!"

Hinata asked curiously, "Black Zetsu, what did you do in the ancient ruins?"

Black Zetsu said in a deep voice, "As per your instructions, and based on some of my own ideas..."

Black Zetsu looked up at Hinata and said calmly, "Although you want to win over the reincarnations of Indra and Asura, the power of the Nine-Tails must be taken back... In order for our cooperation to be pleasant, I thought of what happened thirteen years ago."

"But if we can't break the 'Reaper Death Seal' and get the half of the Nine-Tails from the Fourth Hokage's body... then I must take back the Nine-Tails from Naruto's body!"

After a pause, Black Zetsu looked at Hinata and said in a deep voice, "This is the key to reviving the Ten-Tails!"

"As for what happens next, that's for Mom to decide!"

Hinata thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand. It's a pleasure working with you!"
