Naruto could understand Black Zetsu's desperate desire to save his mother.
After all, he too wanted to revive his parents as soon as possible so their family could reunite and enjoy the warmth of home... But...
Naruto still wasn't used to Black Zetsu's strange habits. Looking at his pitch-black face, with his gleaming white teeth especially conspicuous as he forced a smile, Naruto said helplessly, "Black Zetsu, can you stand up when you talk?"
"I can, but I've gotten used to this. It always feels safer this way," Black Zetsu said.
"Then stand up and talk to me." Naruto sighed. He was already quite tall, and Black Zetsu only showed his head. Naruto always had to lower his head to speak with him, and that would easily give him spinal problems or something.
"Fine!" Naruto was now the one Black Zetsu relied on to save his mother, so he still listened to some of Naruto's requests. Besides, Naruto was so strong that Black Zetsu was afraid Naruto would get angry and beat him up.
White Zetsu and Obito had both died at Naruto's hands.
As for whether his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, was stronger or weaker than Naruto, in Black Zetsu's heart, his mother would always be number one in the world.
The humans of the Ninja World were merely livestock raised by the Otsutsuki Clan.
Of course, Black Zetsu wasn't stupid enough to say what he was thinking to Naruto. Though he feared Naruto's strength, wasn't he also using Naruto?
Just as he had once used Uchiha Madara and Obito Uchiha.
With that thought in mind, Black Zetsu first extended a pair of skinny, pitch-black hands from the ground. Then, bracing those hands against the earth, he pulled himself out of the soil like a carrot being yanked from the
