I'm the Evil God Now?!
"But... I'm no longer the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, my strength has been greatly reduced." Yugito Nii hesitated slightly, "I'm afraid..."
"The path of Jinchuriki is not long-term; a vessel for Tailed Beast is ultimately just a vessel," Naruto explained. "That is not your power, but merely the power leaked from the Tailed Beast."
"You don't need to worry about strength; signing the contract won't let you suffer any losses."
"Yes." The Yugito Nii nodded obediently.
She was a smart person and knew what to ask and what not to ask. Even though she still had doubts about Naruto's words, she left first.
The issue of Yugito Nii's declining strength was easy to resolve. Naruto immediately brought up the system panel and, under the Evil God Contract, accessed Yugito Nii's panel.
[Actionable Options]
He clicked on it directly, thinking to himself that having a cheat code was indeed convenient. A long list of options popped up, but the more Naruto, the more familiar they seemed.
[Blessing of Evil God], [Evil God's Blessing], [Evil God]
Oh no, I've become Evil God?
He had never clicked on this actionable option, but this was just too outrageous. It had become like this after not looking at it for a while? All of them were Evil God skills. Wasn't this just admitting that he was Evil God?
Am I Evil God? Naruto shook his head; he would never admit it, even if his life depended on it.
He once cursed the Evil God as a son of a bitch, and now the boomerang has hit him? What a joke, he is not and could not be the Evil God!
After calming himself down, he decided to take care of the important things first. His gaze swept over a row of options, finally stopping at [The Evil God's Gift], which he then clicked.
[He appropriated the Nine-Tails' chakra and gave it to his followers.]
Sure.
Naruto doesn't care about Chakra at all, nor is he stingy with benefits for his subordinates. The Evil God Contract guarantees their absolute loyalty from the very beginning, and sharing power with them is simply a way of relieving Naruto of his responsibilities.
In a way, he even wished he could give all his power to them right now and let a group of people go and continue to save the world.
All he had to do was embrace Ino and Hinata and continue his shameless life. He could then allow the Uzumaki Clan, which was on the verge of extinction, to recuperate and multiply.
But the reality is that he can't do it at all, because he hasn't thrown away his conscience.
The correct approach would have been to set Sasuke into taking on the task of saving the world in his place, while Sasuke would only be responsible for the key steps.
Even this crucial step can be done by his subordinates. It doesn't matter if there's no Child of Prophecy; Sasuke can fill that gap.
Unfortunately, Naruto didn't do that; he was afraid of driving Sasuke insane. A man who had been deceived and traumatized by his family since childhood, after a long and complicated process of learning the truth, found all his enemies already dead.
Even if we assume there's no real grudge between him and Sasuke, they simply don't get along. Sasuke is a principled person, unlike Kabuto.
There's no need to take any risks. Just deal with Kabuto and contain Kaguya Otsutsuki, then leave the rest to time.
When Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki arrive in the Shinobi World, they will find that what was once a human pasture has been transformed into Otsutsuki slaughterhouse.
But then again...
He couldn't let the matter of killing Kabuto go unpunished, and he had to act immediately once he received a reply from Black Zetsu. But right now, he did need to extract the Eight-Tails from Killer B's body to help Yugito Nii gain a foothold.
Actually, these two things don't conflict; it's just a matter of order. In the end, the goal is to extract the Tailed Beast from Killer B's body anyway; the key is that it's inconvenient for him to do so.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, and without any preparation, Sasuke Uchiha's identity had already been questioned, so using it again would be impolite. Besides, taking out the Adamantine Sealing Chains would only make him more exposed.
He would definitely prefer to deal with Kabuto first, but he can't just leave this situation unresolved; he has to find another way.
~~
After Naruto returned, he actually came up with a plan. He disguised himself as a ninja from Kumogakure and deliberately said some things about how wonderful the outside world was when he passed by Killer B.
"It seems like the war is almost won, and we can go home. I wonder when we'll be able to get out."
"Small villages are so boring, aren't they?"
"Is this how you spend your whole life, just passing the days one after another? What's the meaning of living then? Ah! I'm so lost, so incredibly lost!"
Naruto was confused or not is unknown, but Killer B was definitely confused. The thought of being locked up again upon returning to Kumogakure made him feel utterly dejected.
After being examined several times, Killer B's eyesight was noticeably less Qingming Festival.
Even with someone specifically looking after Killer B, they didn't notice anything amiss, simply assuming that Killer B was a bit irritable from being on the battlefield for so long.
Meanwhile, after returning home, the Yugito Nii inexplicably found themselves feeling feverish. Even after taking off several layers of clothing, they still felt something was wrong.
Looking down, I suddenly noticed a faint Uzumaki pattern on my stomach.
Yugito: "."
"What is Naruto Uzumaki up to now? What did he do to his own body? Really..." She felt a burning sensation in her stomach, and then she fainted.
When the Yugito Nii slowly awoke and subconsciously circulated their Chakra, they were immediately stunned.
It's full, the Chakra in my body is full?
Her abundant Chakra was almost overflowing, and the frenzied Chakra churned continuously within her body, from her abdomen to the meridians of her hands and feet.
She looked down again at the faint Uzumaki patterns on her belly, her brows furrowing slightly. This feeling was all too familiar; it was the same when Jinchuriki infused Tailed Beast.
However, infusing the Tailed Beast is much more painful. Tailed Beast are wild and difficult to tame, and one has to suffer a lot in the early stages. Unlike now, where one is simply overwhelmed by the abundant Chakra.
Moreover, this power seems purer and stronger than the power of the Tailed Beast. Tailed Beast Tailed Beast, whose names contain the character for "beast," are generally not very intelligent, except for Shukaku of the Sand.
Most of the time, Tailed Beast only provide enough Jinchuriki Chakra, or, like in the Kumogakure, they fully develop the Tailed Beast, allowing them to fight together with the Jinchuriki.
But now, Yugito Nii felt as if her body was being infused with more than just Chakra; something else entirely. Perhaps... Ninjutsu?
She raised her hand and subconsciously formed a Sealing Jutsu seal.
Now she was even more confused. She had only complained that the job was difficult, but he was paying her way too much. Yugito Nii hesitated, wondering if they had misunderstood something they had said.
He just wanted to regain some of his strength; anything that could give him some help would be fine. But it seems he gave away his entire fortune; that's too much of a burden.
For a moment, the Yugito Nii didn't know whether to be happy or worried, so they could only put on their clothes first.
At the same time, Hydrangea and Yakumo Kurama also received Evil God's Gift. The two were relatively weak, and they only felt a heat in their stomachs. They lifted their clothes and looked down.
Um, there's an extra pattern.
After dividing his forces into three, Naruto didn't divide them further. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with them, but rather that he didn't need to distribute so much power for the time being. He would wait until he dealt with Kabuto Yakushi.
As for how to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki, he had his own methods.
The completion condition for Mission 4 is to collect Nine Tailed Beasts. The reward is Chaotic Madness, which is particularly effective against the pureblood Otsutsuki Clan.
The road ahead is indeed getting smoother and smoother; all the worries I had in the past have now been resolved.
About a day or two later, Black Zetsu contacted Naruto, indicating that the opportunity had arrived and they could prepare to make their move. Naruto was overjoyed; Black Zetsu might not be very strong, but he was a master at sabotaging his teammates.
He wasn't worried about an ambush; anyone with a brain could see that Black Zetsu was right. Following Kabuto for three days and going hungry for nine meals was a dead end. Collecting the Tailed Beast was even more impossible; he couldn't even find the Two-Tails right now.
The Two-Tails was imprisoned in Sealing Space by Naruto and is still in jail.
So Naruto happily went to the appointment, and sure enough, he didn't detect any trace of conspiracy, which made Naruto feel a little uneasy. Black Zetsu stood there, obediently meeting with Naruto.
"Why are you looking left and right?" Black Zetsu asked, puzzled, then realized what was going on. "You don't suspect me of cheating, do you?"
"I wanted to suspect it, but I couldn't find any evidence," Naruto joked.
Black Zetsu: "."
"I'm not that stupid to do these meaningless things." Black Zetsu waved his hand. "Speaking of which, there's something I've never understood."
"What's up?"
"Naruto Uzumaki, do you also have the Sharingan?" Black Zetsu suddenly asked.
"What's the meaning?"
"When you fought Sasuke Uchiha that time, you were clearly seriously injured, but you recovered very quickly," Black Zetsu said seriously. "If I'm not mistaken, that was a technique of the Uchiha Clan, Izanagi."
"You guess."
Naruto will not reveal his trump card to Black Zetsu. They are allies now, but once Kabuto dies, he will take action against Black Zetsu's mother, Kaguya.
Black Zetsu, offering only a vague guess.
It's so obvious. If you say you don't have any Sharingan, I'll shake my brain to its core.
"My guess is useless. Guess what Sasuke Uchiha will think when he realizes what's going on?" Black Zetsu smiled sinisterly, his face full of schadenfreude.
"Whatever he thinks, he can't even sort out the mess the Uchiha Clan has made of himself," Naruto said vaguely, urging the issue without giving a direct answer.
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way, I'm in a hurry."
"Hmm." As Black Zetsu turned around, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face.
He didn't actually pull a fast one, but he gave Sasuke Uchiha some hints: once he finished cooperating with that bastard Naruto Uzumaki, he absolutely had to find Sasuke Uchiha and betray him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to vent his hatred.
Naruto, following behind Black Zetsu, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Thinking to himself, "This remnant of Kaguya is still so insidious. Using Sasuke Uchiha to target me—what's the point? Sasuke can't beat me anyway."
Who can guarantee that you Sharingan to activate Izanagi? If you changed the name of this thing, I'd say it's Sun Bin's time reversal!
Trying to disgust yourself? Typical Black Zetsu.
Just you wait, I'll beat your mother up in front of you someday. If I hold back even a little, I'll change my name to Naruto Uzumaki. You son of a bitch, I'll get you sooner or later.
So-called allies are partners who plot to betray each other next.
Black Zetsu enjoys Naruto Uzumaki isn't exactly a saint either. These two morally ambiguous individuals coming together can be considered evenly matched.
"Kabuto was injured and hadn't shown up for the past two days; even I couldn't find him. Now that he's almost recovered, he's started contacting me again."
Black Zetsu explained as he walked, eventually stopping at the bottom of a cliff and looking up to continue.
"On top."
As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto activated his Blood-colored Nine-Tails Gundam mode, and a mountain-like blood shadow rose from the ground. The ground shattered instantly, and the blood shadow was ejected in the blink of an eye.
A deafening roar, like rolling thunder, echoed across the sky, the sonic boom resounding endlessly. Black Zetsu narrowed his eyes. The next second, his expression froze.
Half of the cliff was flattened by the Tailed Beast Ball, leaving a clean, knife-cut gash.
How could that be?
Black Zetsu was stunned. This wasn't what he had imagined. The Nine-Tails... no, this wasn't the power of Tailed Beast anymore. That damned Naruto Uzumaki... what was he thinking?
"Tailed Beast Ball can produce this kind of effect?"
Kabuto even more bewildered. He had just sensed something was wrong when, as he turned around, a Tailed Beast Ball flew towards him. The word "traitor" had barely crossed his mind when he was suddenly faced with this unexpected disaster.
He had considered the possibility of Black Zetsu betraying him, but he never imagined that Black Zetsu would do so by colluding with Naruto Uzumaki. He gritted his teeth and dodged, inwardly cursing the two bastards!
One hundred kilometers from the main battlefield, in the border mountains of the Land of Lightning, the three ninja scoundrels of the Shinobi World victoriously reunited, and a series of double agents and schemes within schemes unfolded.
If Hanzo of the Salamander were still alive, he would definitely say that this was the most despicable meeting he had ever witnessed. If given another chance to start a Shinobi World war, he would never want to face the Three Scoundrels of the Shinobi World again.
In front of the three scoundrels, his political experience, which he was so proud of, was as naive as a child's.
If he were given another chance to bestow titles upon the Legendary Sannin, he would surely retract his naive idea and re-establish the divine status of the Legendary Sannin despicable emperors of the Shinobi World.
When still, he can harm his teammates; when in motion, he can harm the enemy; one scheme can ruin three wise men.
The moment Kabuto saw Naruto, his first thought wasn't to run, but to fight. But the instant he saw the Death Reaper figure of the Grim Reaper opposite him, he completely deflated.
The so-called Tailed Beast Ball Gundam was just a distraction. Kabuto's biggest mistake in life was not turning and running away immediately. He had already run twice, but this time he didn't want to run anymore.
People inevitably believe in the power of a do-or-die mentality, but only if the opponent doesn't use Forbidden Jutsu.
[Forbidden. Reaper Death Seal]
A colossal phantom of the Death Reaper appeared high in the sky, accompanied by howling winds reminiscent of the depths of hell. The white-haired Death Reaper opened its blood-red maw and took a white dagger from its mouth.
"What is that?!" Kabuto already knew the answer, but he couldn't believe that Naruto Uzumaki would be so crazy as to choose to trade one life for another.
Damn it, did I break some kind of divine law?
As for the face-to-face contact, is it an unsolvable Forbidden Jutsu of the Reaper Death Seal Technique? He wanted to move, but his body was completely immobilized, and half of his soul had been instantly extracted.
"Naruto Uzumaki!" he yelled, "Are you crazy?"
"What are you doing?" Naruto ignored him and controlled the Death Reaper phantom to raise his hand and slash at his soul.
