Black Zetsu Rescues His Mother (Round Two)

With the Hidden Mist Village defeated, the crisis in the Land of Whirlpools was considered resolved.

However, the Uzumaki suffered heavy casualties, and its national strength was weakened by at least 30%.

If the enemy attacks again, Konoha might not even be able to send reinforcements in time.

Considering the threat posed by Kirigakure, Mito decided to stay and guard Land of Whirlpools with her daughter.

A small group remained behind, while the rest of the clan returned to Konoha with Izuna.

"Don't worry, with me here, Kirigakure will not allow a single step into the Land of Fire." This was Mito's promise to Konoha.

"I will also stay to help my mother," Uchiha Nagisa expressed his wish.

Her brother defended Konoha against Sunagakure, so she and her mother went to aid the Land of Whirlpools.

This family, one fighting against Sunagakure and the other against Kirigakure, provided invaluable assistance to the overall battle; it's safe to say no one can speak ill of them.

After her mother's unexpected serious injury, Little Cutie, in a moment of desperation, activated her Mangekyō.

With Mito's careful guidance, she was not too affected by negative emotions, but her temperament became much calmer than before.

Perhaps she finally realized that she also needed to shoulder the responsibility of protecting her family.

"Alright, I'll leave Kirigakure to you." Izuna led his team away, while the mother and daughter helped Uzumaki Ashina clean up the mess in the Land of Whirlpools.

March, the twelfth year of Konoha.

Kirigakure held a funeral for the First Mizukage, during which they repeatedly protested to Konoha, demanding that the Konoha hand over the murderer who killed the Mizukage.

Such a brain-dead request is something Yayoi wouldn't even bother with.

She crumpled up the official letter from the Hidden Mist Village and threw it into the trash can.

Still handing over people?

If it weren't for the current complex situation, Konoha would have a reason to attack the Land of Water just because of their actions against their allies.

In mid-March, seeing that Konoha had not made any move, Sunagakure was the first to jump out.

Kazekage Reto personally issued a statement saying that Konoha must apologize for its invasion of the Land of Whirlpools and hand over Uchiha Izuna and Uchiha Nagisa, who killed the Mizukage.

Otherwise, Sunagakure reserves the right to pursue the matter by force.

This is a blatant distortion of the truth, a true example of shamelessness.

However, the Raikage immediately responded and began to relentlessly smear Konoha.

Although they went to provide rescue, many people now believe that the Uchiha Clan harbors resentment and wants to take this opportunity to completely destroy the Land of Whirlpools.

The ostentatious method was crude, but surprisingly effective.

Many people believe that Konoha was the perpetrator, and no amount of explanation from others can change that.

It is in the nature of fools that they easily draw conclusions about something and become obsessed with them.

Clearly, despite his rugged appearance, Raikage is adept at exploiting human weaknesses.

By playing this trick, even if Konoha were to conquer the Land of Lightning in the future, there would still be many fighters who possess the "truth" and would be willing to pay the price of their lives to resist tyranny.

It must be admitted that the Raikage played a very underhanded game, but the problem is that Yayoi didn't care at all.

Faced with the harsh criticism from the two Hidden Village, Yayoi, representing Konoha, gave a formal response.

"Konoha has never been afraid of war. If you want to start a war, we are ready to fight anytime."

Konoha's firm response made it clear to everyone with discerning eyes that war was now inevitable.

Faced with the combined attack of Suna and Kumo villages, no one can say for sure whether Konoha can achieve victory.

Most importantly, behind the two Hidden Village stands a colossal entity.

If the Ninja Sect were to intervene, Konoha would still be at a disadvantage in terms of high-level combat power.

Winning seems unlikely.

At the end of April, the Cloud suddenly launched a surprise attack on the border of the Land of Fire, as usual, attempting to catch the enemy off guard at the beginning of the war.

Unfortunately, the Senju Clan was in charge of this war, and the Raikage's little schemes were completely ineffective against the infamous "Little Six" Tobirama Senju.

Impure World Reincarnation Technique!

The Raikage's speed was astonishing, so Tobirama simply used his Edo Impure World Reincarnation form, which carried the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God Technique, to fight him.

This is a race against time.

The battle between the two powerful figures was earth-shattering, and outsiders simply could not get close.

Seeing this, the Cloud's main force surged forward like a tide, attempting to use their numerical advantage to determine the outcome of the battle.

A massive melee involving over 15,000 people began.

Summoning Technique: Primordial Demon King Enma!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, who came with his teacher, demonstrated the formidable strength of the future Third Hokage.

He proved to everyone that he was no less powerful than Uchiha Yuto.

"That bastard, he really doesn't care about his life when he fights." The young and handsome Danzo, due to his own lack of strength, could only barely keep up behind his companions to provide support.

He wanted to rush forward several times, but when the moment came, he always lacked that little bit of courage.

"Damn it!"

Glancing at the resentful Danzo, Kagami Uchiha remained silent, continuing to play the role of his assistant.

He knew in his heart that he was not as important as Hiruzen Sarutobi; that person was the disciple that Teacher Tobirama valued most.

If we want to change the village in the future, we may have to start with Hiruzen.

In this great battle, the Cloud Village deployed over ten thousand troops, while the Konoha Village sent approximately five thousand, most of whom were Senju Clan ninja.

The Senju of the Forest are exceptionally strong; even with a numerical disadvantage, they should have no problem resisting the Cloud army.

The main breakthrough point for achieving victory actually lies with Sunagakure.

In May, the Sunagakure's army approached the border, Konoha Village reinforced its forces by 2,000, bringing the total number of ninja troops to 6,000 to march into the Land of Land of Rivers.

As a commander, Izuna has never liked passive defense; he prefers to take the initiative and deal with the enemy.

The Uchiha Clan was like this, especially Yuto, who personally led the army left by his father, like a sharp spear piercing straight into the enemy's heart.

By the time Sunagakure reacted, Yuto's army had already cut through the enemy lines.

"Hahaha, that was exhilarating!" He finally understood what it felt like to roam freely on the battlefield.

The invincible legion left by my father is absolutely terrifyingly powerful, especially their lightning-fast attack, which can only be described as masterful.

Uchiha Yuto is nominally the Army Commander, but in reality, he is currently learning battlefield knowledge from those senior soldiers.

For example, when should a surprise attack be launched, and what situations are obviously traps?

In short, he had seen it all.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of the invincible legion, the Western Legion managed to overwhelm Sunagakure with twice the number of troops.

When the news spread, the entire Shinobi World was stunned, and only one thought lingered in everyone's mind.

Konoha's fighting strength is terrifying?!

Even with the two Hidden Village joining forces, they were unable to gain any advantage.

It seems that even after losing the God of Shinobi, Konoha still has the ability to retain its title as the strongest Hidden Village.

While the battle at the front was tense, Hokage Yayoi was quite relaxed in the rear.

Although the three sides are currently in a state of chaos, they are actually in a probing phase, and no truly deadly battle has broken out.

From beginning to end, Konoha never really took the alliance of the two great Hidden Village seriously. The real formidable enemy was always the Ninja Sect hidden behind the scenes.

Yayoi knew very well that as long as she and the Madara Uchiha hiding in the shadows did not move, the Ninja Sect would not openly participate in the war.

Those self-proclaimed righteous hypocrites will not launch a large-scale massacre against the ninjas of Konoha.

The only way to limit this is to prevent Super Kage Level powerhouses from indiscriminately killing.

She's one, Madara Uchiha is definitely the most important target. Besides her, Yuto will probably also be targeted.

As for the village, it is currently the safest place. If Hashirama, this starved camel, really wants to fight, she doesn't think anyone from the Ninja Sect can resist him.

Ultimately, this war will depend on Konoha's fundamental strength.

There's no use in her being anxious. Instead of wasting time and energy, she should focus on her research and use the Shadow Clone Research Method to complete her current research project as soon as possible.

That was her original plan, but unexpectedly, she received a guest who was not in the public eye.

The human was brought by the Fūma Clan Leader, Yayoi didn't actually know much about its existence.

All she knew was that the strange creature called Black Zetsu had once cooperated with Kyosuke, and they might still be maintaining some kind of agreement that she didn't understand.

"Hehehe, so you're helpless against the Ninja Sect, aren't you?"

"If you want, I can help you deal with those guys."

"The condition is simple: I need you to use the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion to cleave that obstructive moon above your head."

This is Black Zetsu's plan.

As things stand, the path to collecting the Tailed Beast is blocked.

Not to mention the leak of his own existence, the target Madara Uchiha now possesses a level comparable to the Sage of Six Paths, and he hasn't even used the Ten-Tails yet.

Black Zetsu suspected that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo was doing this to prevent his plan from succeeding.

Just think about it, if others have already reached the Six Paths Level through their own abilities, who would risk having their body invaded and take the risk of swallowing Ten-Tails that doesn't belong to them?

With no way to revive him, Black Zetsu had to find another way.

Having secretly observed Yayoi's battle, it suddenly had an idea: to use the power of the Tenseigan to break the seal using the simplest and most direct method.

That would be to cleave the moon in two.

Without the complete Ten-Tails, the mother's power might not be able to return to its peak, but she still possesses a body of Divine Fire Level.

Even if their fighting ability is lacking, at least they can't be killed.

As for how to restore their power, the mother and son can simply escape Earth together and find another Planet suitable for planting the God Tree.

I remember that Isshiki had a small Ten-Tails in his possession. With his mother's excellent spatial abilities, it wasn't difficult to find the space where the opponent was hiding.

It must be said that Black Zetsu's plan was excellent, but unfortunately, she underestimated Kaguya's obsession.

Having suffered such a major setback on Earth, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya would not easily choose to flee.

If she is truly rescued, she will inevitably resume her struggle with her two Filial Son, and the outcome will almost certainly be that she will be resealed.

The ignition of Divine Flame on the body signifies possessing characteristics akin to "immortality."

Its lifespan is limitless, and its physical regenerative ability is astonishing; even the so-called Sage Body cannot compare to it.

However, maintaining the power of the Divine Flame body requires an extremely terrifying Chakra. Therefore, the Ōtsutsuki would choose to seal the Ten-Tails within their bodies.

Without the Ten-Tails acting as a battery, Kaguya couldn't unleash her true power.

Their combat experience was already lacking, and now they're even more likely to be defeated.

That's why Black Zetsu wanted to escape Earth, and that one day in the future it and its mother would return after these guys had lived out their lives.
