So, Would a Bionic Black Zetsu Dream of an Electronic Madara?

Nagato released a black Chakra Rods. At such close range, there was no time to dodge, and even Jiraiya was worried for Naruto.

He was about to reach out to stop him when he saw Naruto throw the black rod into the Sealing Space. The flying black rod disappeared without a trace, completely severing Nagato's control over the Black Chakra Rods.

Upon seeing this, Jiraiya was startled for a moment. If he wasn't mistaken, it should be the Four Symbols Seal, but upon closer inspection, there were some subtle differences between it and the Four Symbols Seal.

Naruto stared at Nagato, saying nothing, but spat on the ground.

It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Nagato was interrupted by Naruto before he could finish speaking.

He said coldly, "What peace, what ideals? Without the Pervy Sage, you would have died in the war in Amegakure long ago. Don't talk about suffering; those civilians who died unseen in the war had no chance to speak."

"I did it to help Yahiko build a peaceful and ideal world! Is that wrong?!" Nagato asked angrily, head bowed.

Now he had exhausted almost all his tricks; Pain's mask had been torn off, and he had been defeated by Jiraiya. Atop this High Tower, he suddenly realized he couldn't even handle a mere blond brat.

Anyone who came would have their Dao heart shattered.

His ideal world collapsed, and he was brutally taught a lesson by the iron fist of reality, turning from a powerful god into a madman who was neither human nor ghost.

Jiraiya was feeling conflicted. Watching his two disciples argue, he didn't want to get involved for the time being. Konan didn't react much either, seemingly also planning to observe first.

"Your ideal world is to keep killing people?" Naruto asked, glancing sideways.

"This is a necessary sacrifice. Only suffering can make them give up the war and cherish peace," Nagato.

"I see now. You're not capable enough to suppress all enemies like Hashirama Senju. So you resort to bullying when you can't do it yourself, right?"

"Pick on the weakest link. Indiscriminately destroy the world on a large scale, let ordinary people die. Create fear so that the survivors are incapable of waging war."

"This is the only way I can think of!" Nagato raised his head. "As long as we continue down this path, peace will surely come."

Naruto turned to look at Konan and said.

What about you? Do you think so too?

Konan frowned but remained silent.

"A bunch of lunatics." Naruto muttered to himself as he looked down, then raised his voice, "I'm telling you, you can fool Konan, but don't fool yourself too."

"What did you say?" Nagato asked, frowning.

"Look at yourself, and look at Konan. Do you know what you've been doing all these years?" Naruto pointed at Nagato and then at Konan.

"Didn't you have any doubts at all? Yahiko's death wasn't an accident. What if someone deliberately planned it? And where did you get your eyes? Do you know the true use of the Rinnegan?"

Endless debate is the worst approach; the truth is the sharpest and most effective weapon.

He never let go of that sharp blade, from the moment he began fighting Pain, thinking seven steps ahead for every one he took. Ultimately, what truly pierces the heart is not justice, but the stark truth.

Nagato and Konan gasped for breath and abruptly turned to stare at Naruto.

"What's the meaning?"

Explain yourself!

"I can't be completely sure, it's just a guess." Naruto sneered inwardly, but his expression remained unchanged. "Have you never had any doubts?"

"Those powerful eyes appeared on you out of nowhere. The Uzumaki Clan's bloodline doesn't have Kekkei Genkai for Dōjutsu, but the Rinnegan and Sharingan do have some connection."

"These things could be discovered with a little effort. It's just that you're unwilling to think about them. Revenge is like a tightly strung chain; if you stop, it will break."

"So, to be honest, if you were to start an organization to get revenge, I wouldn't care." Naruto glanced at the dazed Nagato.

"But you shouldn't have dragged everyone into your righteousness, your revenge disguised as peace. It just looks like cowardice and incompetence."

[Ding! Option fulfilled. Death God's Slash (Rule-based reward: Death Reaper delivers the blade, inflicting soul damage on the enemy) has been granted.]

A synthesized voice echoed in his mind. Naruto lowered his eyes, finally feeling a bit more confident. The best was yet to come; not choosing Kato-sensei's Spirit Transformation Technique earlier was the right decision.

Spirit Transformation Technique where the physical body and soul leave the body to attack and kill others. Ultimately, it carries some risks; once a weakness is discovered, the individual is easily annihilated by human compassion.

Aside from the ability to communicate with one's soul, he couldn't think of any other benefits. Even if one cultivated to the extreme, one couldn't reach the realm of an immortal, where the body meditates while the soul travels hundreds of miles to visit friends, returning home on a moonlit night in the wilderness.

He had known for some time that his soul was stronger than that of ordinary people. Ordinary Genjutsu and possession techniques were useless against him; he estimated that only Tsukuyomi and the Genjutsu of the two Toad Sages could possibly contend with his soul.

However, the fact that his soul is indestructible does not mean that he can actively attack others. In fact, like Jiraiya, his weakness lies in his lack of proficiency in Genjutsu.

In the ninja evaluation system, Genjutsu are also a very important metric.

Although he hasn't received any enhancements in Genjutsu, the ability to critically strike the soul is still quite good. Based on Orochimaru's experience, it's inferred that damage to the soul will lead to physical necrosis.

Does the Death God's Slash sever the soul? I'll test its power on Black Zetsu next time.

After a while, seeing the atmosphere was silent and oppressive, Naruto couldn't help but add a few more words.

"Actually, how to deal with you is entirely Pervy Sage. I've been watching you for a long time, and whether to kill or spare you today is also entirely up to the Pervy Sage."

"I don't want to get involved in or hear about what happens next. That's all."

Naruto did nothing, letting Nagato investigate and get closer to the truth on his own. Nagato hadn't yet carried rice across Konohagakure, so for the time being, the two weren't at the point of no return.

From the beginning, his goal was clear: to dismantle the Akatsuki Organization and continue his leisurely life.

Whether it's Nagato, Obito, or Uchiha Madara, they were all just tools in Black Zetsu's toolbox. Even if Naruto killed Nagato and took the Rinnegan, he would still have to face Obito and Black Zetsu.

When Obito and Black Zetsu realize his strength, they will surely put aside their differences and unite to target Naruto first. At that time, Naruto can forget about having a peaceful daily life anymore.

After killing Obito, there's Uchiha Madara and Kabuto. If Black Zetsu manages to escape, there's Sasuke Uchiha or other troubles to come.

Otsutsuki, aliens, and an endless stream.

It would be a waste not to take the Rinnegan. After all, once Obito and Black Zetsu discover Nagato's betrayal, they will definitely try to kill Obito and take back the eyes. But if they take it, Obito and Zetsu will have to come and bother him.

Since Rinnegan can't do anything to Naruto, it's not a hot potato for him at this stage.

Ultimately, the best solution is for Naruto to distance himself from the situation. He should reveal half the truth, let Nagato investigate, and let them fight amongst themselves.

When Black Zetsu notices something amiss, he certainly won't stand idly by. After all, Black Zetsu has three conditions for rescuing his mother:

First, find the containers of Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and possess the Rinnegan.

Second, the container activates Infinite Tsukuyomi to reclaim Kaguya's Chakra.

Third, Black Zetsu serves as the key to unlock the seal.

In essence, Black Zetsu is like the Karma seal of Kaguya. The Otsutsuki Clan has a method of reincarnation, which involves digitizing themselves and then injecting the Karma seal into a new vessel to revive them.

Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation is a localization of the Karma.

Orochimaru was able to do this probably because the Chakra attribute of the ninja itself originated from the power of the Otsutsuki, which can be seen as a kind of pollution to some extent.

Or, looking at it from another angle, the extraordinary characteristics of ninjas lie in their Chakra and Ninjutsu. This power originates from the Otsutsuki Clan's Divine Tree, which is also known as corruption.

Humans who have been contaminated possess superhuman strength, and this group is no longer the same as ordinary humans; they call themselves ninjas.

The bloodline of a ninja is mixed with impurities from the Otsutsuki, and while gaining power, it also gains a unique characteristic: datafication.

Datafication provided Orochimaru with a fundamental theoretical basis for immortality. If consciousness cannot be separated from the body after reincarnation, then immortality is nowhere to be found.

Ordinary people cannot reincarnate because they lack the ability to quantify consciousness. Only ninjas with the bloodline of the Otsutsuki can do this.

Therefore, when a ninja is Impure World Reincarnation, their consciousness remains fixed at the time of their death. The principle is roughly similar to how data is no longer updated; it is frozen in that era.

If the biological technology of the Shinobi World becomes advanced enough in the future, and we capture a live Otsutsuki and acquire Otsutsuki technology, we might be able to create electronic ninjas.

Therefore, biomimetic Black Zetsu dream of electron spots?

Similarly, bloodlines are like flowing data, undergoing a certain degree of variation during transmission. Just like genetic mutations, data can also experience similar issues.

Thus, Kekkei Genkai began to appear.

The purer the Otsutsuki bloodline, the stronger the power of the Kekkei Genkai. Like the descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, such as Hashirama and the Uchiha Clan.

Correspondingly, the Chakra reincarnations of Asura and Indra are also manifestations of a wedge. The so-called Child of Prophecy are merely the result of the Sage of Six Paths witnessing his two sons killing each other, and fearing that such a thing would happen to their descendants.

Therefore, he granted Asura's reincarnations even more power, using the reincarnated Asura to suppress the reincarnated Indra, who later became the Senju Clan and Uchiha Clan.

Therefore, Kaguya's resurrection process was not a true resurrection. Essentially, it was the same as Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation —merely an act of possession.

Black Zetsu is Kaguya's Karma, and Uchiha Madara is the vessel. Activating Infinite Tsukuyomi to retrieve the young Kaguya's Chakra is the process of reincarnation.

However, Uchiha Madara was already very old when he awakened the Rinnegan, and he could only use Obito to revive himself. Just as Uchiha Madara orchestrated Rin's death, Obito used Nagato to orchestrate Yahiko's death for him.

Obito can't be exonerated, and Nagato wasn't entirely innocent either.

Naruto didn't care about their lives; keeping Nagato was just a way to let the dogs fight each other. Even Nagato would find it difficult to deal with Obito, who possessed the Rinnegan and was wary of him.

He wasn't used to taking on everything himself; that was the savior's attitude. Having obtained the Rinnegan, he had to bear the consequences.

Perhaps Obito would invade Konohagakure, or perhaps he would kidnap someone he cared about as a threat. He didn't want that to happen, so he distanced himself from the situation.

It's a fact that Jiraiya defeated Nagato.

Nagato still possesses the Rinnegan, but his attitude has changed. Nagato's death remains questionable, and as long as Nagato is alive Yahiko, the investigation will continue.

As for how Obito and Black Zetsu should deal with him, that's his own karma. In short, he's not innocent; he deserves what he got. If Nagato is truly in danger, Naruto won't stand idly by.

Nagato was the sword in his hand, and he couldn't wait for Nagato, ideally forming an even stronger organization. The more trouble Nagato caused Obito, the happier he was.

Naruto used the system to remove Asura's reincarnation seal and detach the Nine-Tails from his body, because he didn't want to be a savior. Taking on all the troubles himself would be putting the cart before the horse.

Obito left Nagato, a ticking time bomb, while Naruto picked up a bunch of Black Chakra Rods left by Uchiha Madara and also stole the Hydrangea.

After several months of Amegakure returned from his travels.

Together with Nagato and Konan, he buried Yahiko and planted the seeds of the Longevity Flower. He also accompanied Jiraiya to several places, where they investigated and finally stabilized the situation in the Land of Rain.

The world has not yet achieved peace, Land of Rain still experiences constant heavy rain. However, the difference is that Amegakure will no longer face war, and there are faint signs of a peaceful future.

Nagato was initially somewhat resistant, but when Jiraiya said that a world of mutual understanding would surely come, Nagato quickly became more accepting.

Summer has passed in a flash, and winter snow is approaching. Land of Hot Water of hot springs.

After running around for more than half a year, the master and apprentice finally got a short rest. After taking a bath, it also meant that the two would soon part ways again.

Naruto prepares to return to the village, Jiraiya continues his journey to find the Child of Prophecy.

The hot spring steamed gently, and the two of them felt completely refreshed after soaking in it. The weariness and toil of the past six months melted away in the hot spring water, and they felt much lighter.

"Naruto, you'll be almost an adult after the New Year, right?" Jiraiya leaned against the edge of the hot spring pool, shirtless, with a white towel on his head, and a chopping board laid out on the shore.

There were some food items neatly arranged on top, along with a small sake bottle. The light from the side of the hot spring extended forward a foot, shining directly on most of Jiraiya's back.

"More or less."

Naruto leaned against the other side of the hot spring pool, his head tilted back, a folded towel covering his eyes. He looked much stronger than before, yet still slender, his long arms and legs dangling in the water.

He looked lazy and listless, as if his bones had really been soaked in water.

Besides
