Shirou Emiya, Ten-Tails Jinchuriki
"How is that possible!"
Black Zetsu couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes!
"Answer me..."
Shirou Emiya ignored Black Zetsu's shouts and calmly repeated his question, "Since when did you come to think I was the kind of person who would give up and accept my fate?"
"What exactly happened to you...?"
Black Zetsu looked at Shirou Emiya with suspicion and uncertainty, then quickly gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Even if you just broke free from Mom's Rabbit Hair Needle seal, you would never be a match for Mom in Mom Amenominaka world!"
"You're doomed..."
Black Zetsu threat intimidated Shirou Emiya, and, wanting to bolster his and Kaguya Otsutsuki's resolve, he continued, his bravado masking his inner weakness. "In this world, no one can defeat Mom!"
"I'm asking you..."
Shirou Emiya gripped Black Zetsu's neck, his voice as calm as ever. "From Ancient Era to today, when have you ever seen me admit defeat?"
"..."
A torrent of curses surged through Black Zetsu's mind.
This is the current situation!
Is this the time for them to discuss this?
And...
When did you stop accepting your fate? When Impure World Reincarnation and thought there was no future for peace in the Shinobi World, weren't you already resigned to your fate and surrendered?
"When you were first Impure World Reincarnation using Edo Tensei..."
Black Zetsu gritted his teeth, wanting to mock Shirou Emiya: "Shirou Emiya, have you forgotten how pathetic you were in front of me back then?"
"I see..."
Shirou Emiya slowly nodded, and his hand suddenly released Black Zetsu's neck, letting Kaguya's will fall directly to the ground.
"???"
Black Zetsu's thoughts paused for a second.
At this moment, Black Zetsu was rapidly thinking about why Shirou Emiya had let it go. It couldn't understand Shirou Emiya's thoughts, but that didn't stop it from quickly returning to Kaguya Otsutsuki's side!
Only by Kaguya's side...
That's the safest place!
However...
Shirou Emiya's words made Black Zetsu stop what he was doing.
"Actually..."
"That Impure World Reincarnation was within my expectations."
"!!!"
Black Zetsu's body suddenly stopped, and it turned around sharply to look at Shirou Emiya. It subconsciously began to think rapidly about what Shirou Emiya had said!
What's the meaning!
What do you mean by saying that the Impure World Reincarnation was within his expectations?
"Black Zetsu".
Shirou Emiya sighed softly, his voice tinged with a sense of relief and melancholy. "In a true sense, the moment I obtained Chakra, I began planning my own death and resurrection. You should understand what I mean..."
"!!!"
Black Zetsu's eyes widened suddenly.
"You've been mentioning that I was born in the wrong time in Ancient Era, but you seem to have forgotten one thing..."
"The war between the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya left behind not only the scars of the world, but also many remnants of the God Tree. The first Chakra I obtained came from the God Tree, which is what I call being blessed by the God Tree."
Shirou Emiya sensed Black Zetsu's movement stop and continued softly, "If you knew the results I've achieved in human modification and experimental research, you should understand what secrets I could discover from the God Tree Remnants..."
"..."
A hint of fear finally appeared in Black Zetsu's eyes.
Based on the power that Shirou Emiya stole from the corpse of the Sage of Six Paths, it knew that Shirou Emiya would definitely not give up on studying the God Tree Remnants!
That guy...
What secrets did they obtain from the God Tree Remnants?
"What... did you discover...?"
Black Zetsu glared at Shirou Emiya through gritted teeth.
"The God Tree..."
"You won't die."
Shirou Emiya calmly explained his understanding of the God Tree Remnants: "Even if only the God Tree Remnants remain, they will continue to grow and thrive..."
"The God Tree is the Ten-Tails."
"This also means that the Ten-Tails will not die, just as the power of the Tailed Beast also comes from the Ten-Tails, so they will never die completely."
"And the Rabbit Goddess, who was said to have merged with the God Tree, was given the title of goddess, so she naturally wouldn't die..."
"Back then... you knew your Mom was still alive..."
Black Zetsu looked at Shirou Emiya in disbelief.
"More or less..."
Shirou Emiya ran his fingers across his palm, carefully forming the summoning hand seals. As Hand Seals continued, "I only truly confirmed this after I created a new Ten-Tails from the remains of the God Tree..."
"How is that possible!"
Black Zetsu was terrified at that moment!
It was because it hadn't expected such a secret to be revealed by Shirou Emiya; it was far too shocking, even Kaguya Otsutsuki was taken aback by those words!
But...
How could that be!
How could Shirou Emiya's cultivation of the Ten-Tails be kept secret from it? How did he manage to control the Ten-Tails, and where did he hide it?
After all...
The Ten-Tails is an immortal being!
Even Shirou Emiya couldn't erase the Ten-Tails' traces!
"Summoning Technique..."
Shirou Emiya's hand landed in thin air!
A tiny Slug clone fell from the psychic barrier that appeared in the air and was caught in Shirou Emiya's hand, who then casually draped it over his shoulder.
"It's Slug!"
Naruto Uzumaki recognized the Slug at a glance!
"It's Sakura's Summoning Beast..."
Sasuke Uchiha recognized the Slug as well and said in a deep voice, "I heard that in Ancient Era, it was Shirou Emiya raised the Slug..."
"Wei Yuan-sama..."
The little Slug timidly clung to Shirou Emiya and asked softly, "Why did you only use this little bit of Chakra to summon my clone? You could have summoned all my main bodies so that they could fight more easily for Wei Yuan-sama..."
"That's enough..."
Give me your eyes.
Shirou Emiya raised his palm, as if he were certain that the little Slug also wore his eyes. "Every time I communicate with you, you are wearing my eyes, waiting for me to need them..."
"..."
The little Slug nodded and carefully spat out a bottle.
In that bottle...
It contains two perfectly intact eyes.
The Slug appear to have been preserved remarkably well over the years; even after thousands of years, they still look exactly the same as when they were dug up and put in the bottle.
"That's right!"
When Black Zetsu saw the eyes in the bottle, he immediately realized something. "That's Hagoromo's Rinnegan! You've kept it all this time!"
This guy...
I've been lying to him all along!
"These aren't his eyes."
"I destroyed the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' Rinnegan and his corpse long ago."
Shirou Emiya slowly pressed the two eyes from the bottle into his eye sockets. The Chakra patterns quickly began to connect with his eyes, and he blinked slightly to adjust. "These are my own eyes, but they also have the same abilities..."
"For example..."
"Mangekyo Sharingan".
Shirou Emiya's eyes slowly revealed a crimson hue, and three Tomoe appeared in his eyes, quickly transforming into a bizarre shape.
The next moment!
The air suddenly began to distort!
A brownish-brown tail twisted and emerged from the air!
The moment that tail appeared, both Black Zetsu and Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately understood the situation by the Chakra emanating from it!
That is...
The Chakra of the Ten-Tails!
The other Ten-Tails 'Chakra!
What Shirou Emiya said is true!
At this moment Black Zetsu desperately wanted Shirou Emiya to lie, especially at a time like this, but unfortunately, this guy couldn't lie about such things!
Same...
Black Zetsu also realized something else!
Why didn't it find any trace of the other Ten-Tails?
"Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan..."
"If these are your eyes, then you researched the Sharingan's bloodline limit in Ancient Era, and even awakened the power of Kamui, which you've kept hidden in your own Kamui Dimension..."
"That's right."
Shirou Emiya continued to manipulate the Ten-Tails to appear from the Kamui Dimension, adding softly, "In a sense, that was the only time I used the Sharingan's abilities to conceal its existence..."
A massive Ten-Tails creature emerged from the swirling, distorted space. The moment it appeared, it raised its head and roared, unleashing its power without restraint!
However...
When the Ten-Tails saw Kaguya Otsutsuki, its voice immediately became shrill, wanting to fight Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, to the death!
"!!!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki instinctively wanted to back away!
"Quiet down."
Shirou Emiya raised his eyes slightly, and the Kamui Mangekyo Sharingan in his eye sockets instantly transformed into the Rinnegan, controlling the Ten-Tails to directly enter his body.
But...
This scene no longer surprises Black Zetsu.
Compared to the fact that Shirou Emiya cultivated the Ten-Tails, the bloodline limit of the Mangekyo Sharingan and Rinnegan seemed so natural to Shirou Emiya.
Because the Ten-Tails is the essence of Chakra.
For someone like Shirou Emiya, it seems perfectly acceptable to use the strange and wonderful powers he researches using the Ten-Tails.
"The immortal Ten-Tails..."
"The immortal Ten-Tails Jinchuriki..."
Shirou Emiya felt the vitality of his Chakra, and he was finally able to look up at Kaguya Otsutsuki: "The immortal... Kaguya."
"As well as..."
"The will created by Kaguya."
Shirou Emiya's gaze then fell upon Black Zetsu, and he recounted their encounter from years ago. "Back in Ancient Era, I discovered your existence. When I chose to attack Indra, my purpose was to lure you out..."
"Because only you can draw out Kaguya."
"Kaguya..."
"That is the greatest threat to world peace."
