Decisive Battle II

Black Zetsu thought about it carefully and realized that saying this was the last one wasn't quite right, as there seemed to be many more captured test subjects on the Iwa ninja side.

Could it be that the Iwa ninja controlled those White Zetsu clone and sent them to gather intelligence?

It's understandable that Black Zetsu would think this way, since all the Iwa ninja's Edo Reanimated Body have been dealt with.

The approaching White Zetsu clone was indeed related to the Iwa ninja, but it wasn't White Zetsu clone captured by the Iwa ninja to be used as a test subject. Instead, A-Tu was Sokai controlled by Shisui's Kotoamatsukami.

A-Tu used his Mayfly Technique to appear beside Black and White Zetsu, and said with a smile, "Black Zetsu, our Tsuchikage wants to see you!"

Upon seeing A-Tu and hearing his words, Black Zetsu was furious enough to explode—if he even had lungs.

Although every White Zetsu clone looks the same to a ninja, they are all different to both Black and White Zetsu.

He recognized it immediately; this White Zetsu was definitely not one of the Iwa ninja who had been captured.

This White Zetsu clone, Black Zetsu recognized, was the one who had been responsible for guarding the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and had been given the strange name "White Zetsu clone- A-Tu" by Yichen.

No wonder, no wonder I've always felt that the Iwa ninja's intelligence is particularly impressive, and that my actions are always being monitored by Iwa ninja.

Turns out there was a traitor!

Black Zetsu glared at the White Zetsu clone before him, ignoring Yichen's request to see him. Instead, he asked, "A-Tu, right? Why did you betray Lord Madara?"

A-Tu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Black Zetsu, I didn't betray you. I was originally a ninja from Iwagakure. I only gained a body like these White Zetsu clone after being modified by the Lord Tsuchikage."

"I infiltrated your ranks to gather intelligence."

Black Zetsu was even angrier after hearing this. This idiot! Do you think White Zetsu is so easy to create? Without the God Tree or the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, how can you create White Zetsu?!

Black Zetsu, being knowledgeable and experienced, quickly realized what had happened to A-Tu; the guy must have been under Genjutsu.

Moreover, it's Genjutsu capable of completely altering one's thoughts and will!

A name quickly surfaced in Black Zetsu's mind: Kotoamatsukami!

Black Zetsu knew that Shisui Uchiha's Dōjutsu was Kotoamatsukami, which was an open secret among the former high-ranking officials of Konoha. Black Zetsu also learned of this information through various channels.

After Shisui Uchiha was killed, Black Zetsu discovered the whereabouts of his eyes through various intelligence gathering.

One fell into Danzo's hands, and the other into Yichen's hands.

Danzo's vision was too narrow, Black Zetsu care much about him. However, Black Zetsu had speculated that Yichen might use Kotoamatsukami to change someone's will.

The Fifth Raikage Darui, the Fifth Mizukage Kisame, and the Seventh Hokage Kakashi are all prime suspects against Black Zetsu.

Even Nagato and Orochimaru are on Black Zetsu's list of suspects.

However, under Black Zetsu's observation, it was discovered that none of the leaders of these forces showed any signs of being Kotoamatsukami.

Black Zetsu then expanded his observation scope, including advisors and high-ranking officials from Great Ninja Village in his investigation. For example, the Genji from Kirigakure was the first person Black Zetsu suspected.

However, these people were still excluded by Black Zetsu!

Black Zetsu never expected that Yichen would give the precious opportunity to use Kotoamatsukami to an ordinary White Zetsu clone!

Black Zetsu was quick-witted. Obito Uchiha was long dead, Yichen's control of the White Zetsu clone Obito Uchiha.

Furthermore, Obito Uchiha against Yichen, so Yichen had no reason to waste an opportunity on this defeated opponent.

Yichen did this with only one goal: himself. In Yichen's heart, his own importance surpassed that of the entire Konoha!

It turns out I'd been exposed a long time ago!

Black Zetsu forced himself to calm down before he began to think about Yichen's purpose in finding him.

No matter how much Black Zetsu thought about it, he couldn't figure out what Yichen wanted to talk to him about.

Black Zetsu knew that Yichen had previously cooperated with Danzo, Orochimaru, the Akatsuki Organization, the Sunagakure, Mist ninja.

His style of doing things has always been based on cooperation and mutual benefit, but Black Zetsu couldn't figure out what benefits Yichen could give him.

All he wanted was to resurrect his mother; could Yichen really help him fulfill that wish?

Thinking this, Black Zetsu directly refused, saying, "Tell the Tsuchikage that there's nothing for us to talk about."

After saying that, Black Zetsu was about to burrow underground. He was in a hurry; he had been exposed and needed to deal with Madara Uchiha as soon as possible.

If Yichen exposes him to Madara Uchiha, he will lose even his last chance.

Seeing that Black Zetsu was about to leave, A-Tu said with a smile, "Lord Tsuchikage can help you revive your mother."

A-Tu's words were calm, but to Black Zetsu, they were like a thunderclap.

Black Zetsu stared intently at A-Tu and said, "Say it again!"

A-Tu didn't repeat himself. He said, "Lord Tsuchikage said: If you don't want to see Black Zetsu, let me ask you what you have that could entice him?"

Black Zetsu kept his eyes fixed on A-Tu, but in his mind he was quickly weighing the pros and cons.

Black Zetsu weighed his options quickly; in fact, he didn't need to think much at all. He couldn't possibly refuse Yichen's conditions.

Therefore, Black Zetsu immediately decided in his heart that he would cooperate with Yichen.

But what should he give Yichen?

Black Zetsu knew Yichen's personality quite well. Since Yichen proposed to make a deal with him, it meant that rescuing his mother would also be beneficial to Yichen.

However, Black Zetsu knew even better that Yichen wouldn't help him rescue his mother until he received definite benefits that satisfied him.

Moreover, based on Black Zetsu Yichen's understanding, he would not only not help him, but would also deliberately sabotage his actions.

When I failed, I was ultimately forced to cooperate with him!

After thinking for a long time, Black Zetsu said, "Take me to see the Tsuchikage. I will use a special technique to get the Tsuchikage to save my mother."

Upon hearing A-Tu, Atu's smile widened even further.

A moment later, Black Zetsu and Yichen reached an agreement.

He possessed the White Zetsu clone, enveloped the unconscious Hinata, and arrived at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Black Zetsu then left the White Zetsu clone's body and entered Hinata's body.

Black Zetsu controlled Hinata's hands to form a series of complex hand seals, and then the Jōgan in her eye sockets emitted a terrifying aura, staring directly at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

At the same time, Hinata slowly extended one hand and placed it on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

This strange scene was naturally witnessed by both sides engaged in battle.

When Hinata first appeared, Naruto and Sasuke were overjoyed. Hinata wasn't dead? She escaped?

But before the smiles on their faces could spread, Hinata, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path under Black Zetsu's control.

Madara Uchiha frowned, not understanding what Black Zetsu, the embodiment of his will, wanted to do.

However, out of trust in Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha did not stop it.

Hinata completed the hand seals and placed her hands on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

After a moment of hesitation, Naruto rushed towards Hinata without any apparent delay.

Before Naruto could even reach Hinata, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was sucked into Hinata's hand in a spiral motion.

Upon seeing this, Madara Uchiha his eyes; he realized something was amiss.

Then he shouted in a deep voice, "Black Zetsu, what are you doing!"

Black Zetsu grinned at the Uchiha and said, "Lord Madara, of course it's time to execute the Moon Eye Plan!"

Black Zetsu's flippant tone caused a flash of ferocity to appear Rinnegan Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan, but Madara Uchiha's focus was not currently on Black Zetsu.

Hinata absorbed the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path very quickly, and in no time Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which was exceptionally large compared to Hinata, completely disappeared.

At this moment, Hinata's aura was also increasing infinitely.

That kind of power made Madara Uchiha, Naruto, and Sasuke somewhat frightened!

So much so that Naruto stopped in his tracks as he rushed toward Hinata.

The next moment, when this momentum reached its peak, a vertical line suddenly appeared on Hinata's forehead.

Then the vertical line splits open to both sides, revealing an eyeball inside.

It was a red Rinnegan with nine Tomoe.

"Hinata!" Naruto called out instinctively upon seeing this.

Hinata did not respond to Naruto. The moment she opened her red Nine Tomoe Rinnegan on her forehead, Hinata was immediately enveloped in a layer of black substance.

Then, just like Orochimaru before Hinata, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Hinata suddenly turned black, then changed shape like a lump of mud, and finally became Kaguya.

Madara Uchiha, Naruto, and Sasuke were still somewhat confused.

None of the three of them knew Kaguya.

When Naruto and Sasuke met the Sage of Six Paths, they were simply given power; the Sage of Six Paths didn't have a chance to tell them about Kaguya.

Kaguya looks somewhat like Hinata, so Naruto's first thought was, "How did Hinata suddenly grow up?"

I must say, she's quite feminine!

At this moment, the White Zetsu clone A-Tu suddenly appeared on the battlefield and said, "Let me introduce you all. This is Kaguya Otsutsuki, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths and the Chakra Progenitor!"

"Kaguya was sealed away for a thousand years by that rebellious son, the Sage of Six Paths!"

"Lord Madara can join forces with Kaguya to deal with the Sage of Six Paths' two sons."

After saying that A-Tu burrowed underground to leave, but he quickly popped back up and said, "Oh, right, there's something else I forgot to mention."

"The Sage of Six Paths taught Naruto and Sasuke the power of Yin Power and Yang Power. The Yin-Yang Fusion allows them to unleash the strongest Sealing Jutsu: Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei!"

"Make sure you don't run into them together!"

After saying that A-Tu left the place.

Madara Uchiha processed the information in A-Tu's words.

He had already guessed about Naruto and Sasuke's Yin Yang Power.

During their fight, the two were always trying to seal him off from the left and right, but he was already on guard.

He was more curious about why Kaguya had descended upon him.

Hinata's steps in summoning Kaguya were somewhat similar to what he had seen on the stone tablet.

But why? Shouldn't this be the method to realize the Moon Eye Plan recorded by the Sage of Six Paths?

Why was this Chakra Progenitor, who was sealed away by the Sage of Six Paths, released again?

Everyone present, including Kaguya, was still trying to grasp the situation and couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.

However, there is one person who is very clear about the current situation.

"Mother, quickly take that blond man away! We need to deal with him in another world first!"

If it were the Kaguya of the past, sealed for a thousand years and finally freed, she might still be affected by various emotions.

However, First Shinobi War disastrous defeat on the moon, Kaguya is now very pragmatic.

She obediently used Yomotsu Hirasaka to teleport away Naruto, who had just rushed over and was now Naruto to her.

Before Sasuke and Madara Uchiha could react and stop them, they, along with Black Zetsu, had vanished.

Madara Uchiha's face was extremely grim; one thing after another, things that had happened today were beyond his control.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had devoured the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, made him feel extremely threatened!

Similarly, Madara Uchiha now realizes that he has been tricked by Black Zetsu!

Although he hadn't yet figured out why the inscription on the stone tablet was wrong, he knew that his Moon Eye Plan had failed.

Logically, Madara Uchiha should have changed his stance now that he knows he's been tricked.

Hashirama Senju thought the same thing, and he shouted at Madara Uchiha, "Madara, you're wrong. You have to make up for the mistakes you've made."

"Let's go rescue Naruto with Sasuke!"

Upon hearing Hashirama Senju's words, Madara Uchiha his eyes. "I actually lost face in front of Hashirama?!"

No, I haven't lost yet!

Madara Uchiha glared fiercely at Sasuke, or more precisely, at Sasuke's left eye!

That blue Six Tomoe Rinnegan!

Madara Uchiha told himself, "By absorbing the power of that eye, my strength will definitely improve even further."

"If I defeat Kaguya then and seize the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan from her forehead, I might not necessarily lose!"

"Once I defeat all my enemies, I will establish a new order and create a world without war."

"Anyway, as Sage, I have plenty of time to think and plenty of time to wait!"

"I must make Hashirama Senju know that I am right!"

With that thought in mind, Madara Uchiha stopped looking at Hashirama Senju and pounced directly on Sasuke.

Sasuke's face was extremely pale. Naruto had disappeared, and he was no match for Madara Uchiha in a one-on-one fight!

Furthermore, Naruto was also very worried about facing the Sage of Six Paths' mother alone.

But now is not the time to think about these things. The key is to figure out how to get entangled with Madara Uchiha!

The situation on the field changed rapidly, keeping everyone on their toes.

Naruto was fighting in Kaguya's alternate dimensions, was unaware of the situation, but Sasuke's predicament was truly worrying.

Facing Madara Uchiha's all-out attack alone, Sasuke was finding it extremely difficult!

Aside from Amenotejikara, Sasuke's abilities are similar to Madara Uchiha's, but their power is far Madara Uchiha.

The two exchanged blows for a short while, and Sasuke quickly found himself at a disadvantage, forced to rely solely on Amenotejikara) to escape.

Boom! Madara Uchiha's Perfect Susanoo slashed at Sasuke with a sword, Sasuke dodged it using Amenotejikara.

Without pausing, Madara Uchiha controlled his Susanoo and lunged directly in the direction Sasuke had pointed before he disappeared.

Sasuke had just appeared in his new location when he discovered that Madara Uchiha was already charging towards him.

Sasuke's expression changed. After escaping multiple times using Amenotejikara, Madara Uchiha had finally found a way to deal with it.

His Amenotejikara has a time interval between uses; if Madara Uchiha speed is too fast, he might really die!

Upon seeing Sasuke in danger, Hashirama Senju and Kushina Uzumaki immediately rushed to his aid.

Hashirama Senju Wood Release to block Madara Uchiha's Susanoo, Kushina Uzumaki immediately Partial Tailed Beast Transformation to assist him.

Kisame and Mei Terumi were not Reanimated Body, so they dared not get too close and could only interfere from a distance with Ninjutsu.

However, their Ninjutsu was basically ineffective against the Rinnegan.

However, Madara Uchiha still felt a bit annoyed. After using Susanoo to send Hashirama Senju and Kushina Uzumaki flying, he glanced at Sasuke and found that he had already left his previous position.

Madara Uchiha then changed his target, controlling Susanoo to charge directly at Kushina Uzumaki.

Madara Uchiha hadn't cleared the area before because he wanted more people to witness his Moon Eye Plan.

But right now, he just wants a quick victory.

Kushina Uzumaki had just Susanoo flying by Madara Uchiha, and there was no one else around her.

Madara Uchiha charged forward again, and then cleaved her in two with a powerful slash.

Taking advantage of Kushina Uzumaki's recovery from her Reanimated Body, Madara Uchiha directly cast Genjutsu on her.

By the time Hashirama Senju reinforcements, Madara Uchiha had already controlled Kushina Uzumaki and released her from the Impure World Reincarnation.

Madara Uchiha ignored Hashirama Senju and instead looked at Kisame and Mei Terumi.

Seeing this, Hashirama Senju said to the two, "You two should retreat first; it's too dangerous here!"

Kisame and Mei Terumi didn't try to be brave; they turned around and left the battlefield as quickly as possible.

Madara Uchiha did not give chase; the two small fry were of no interest to him whatsoever! He turned directly to Hashirama Senju.

Madara Uchiha controlled his Perfect Susanoo far surpassed the Wood Human Technique: Wood Release, and slammed Hashirama Senju to the ground.

Then, using the Rinnegan Dojutsu, he completely filled Hashirama Senju's Chakra once more!

Before Hashirama Senju land, Madara Uchiha out of Susanoo.

While still in mid-air, Madara Uchiha produced several Black Rod in his hand and, just like he had done to Minato Namikaze, stabbed Hashirama Senju Reanimated Body all over.

Hashirama Senju's Reanimated Body was instantly and completely under control!

At this point, only Madara Uchiha, Sasuke, and the Reanimated Body Hashirama Senju lying on the ground in a very shameful posture remained on the battlefield of the Land of Water.

Hashirama Senju was Madara Uchiha's most important audience member; he couldn't disappear, and everyone else who was in the way was eliminated.

Now we can focus on dealing with Sasuke.

Madara Uchiha did not use Susanoo, but instead closed in on Sasuke with his Taijutsu body, attacking him with Sasuke.

Sasuke a deep breath, his left Rinne Sharingan flashed, and then a Space-Time Door appeared beside him.

Sasuke dodged into the Space-Time Door in a flash, and then the Space-Time Door rapidly shrank.

Sasuke completely lost the courage to fight Madara Uchiha. When he saw that Madara Uchiha had finished off the others and was preparing to focus on dealing with him, his first reaction was to run away as fast as possible!

Madara Uchiha rushed toward the Space-Time Door, but Space-Time Door had already shrunk to the size of a fist, and he clearly had no chance.

But just then, a similar Space-Time Door opened rapidly in another direction.

Madara Uchiha glanced into the Space-Time Door, where Sokai and the others were Nagato. However, for some reason, Madara Uchiha did not see Yichen.

Those who wish to open the Space-Time Door Sokai.

Then Madara Uchiha saw Nagato 'Tomoe Rinnegan staring intently at the Space-Time Door that was about to close for Sasuke.

Then the fist-sized Space-Time Door instantly stopped shrinking.

This Space-Time Door, like a balloon, sometimes expands and sometimes shrinks, as if two forces are locked in a stalemate.

At this moment, Sokai, who had just opened his own Space-Time Door, looked at Sasuke's Space-Time Door after stabilizing it.

Madara Uchiha, and just as he expected, the Space-Time Door that was about to close immediately expanded and quickly returned to its original state.

Madara Uchiha jumped inside without saying a word.

After Madara Uchiha entered, Nagato and Sokai both withdrew their powers.

Although the two withdrew the power to maintain and expand the Space-Time Door that Sasuke, the Space-Time Door itself did not close.

Clearly, Sasuke on the other end had also withdrawn his control, and he now had to deal with Madara Uchiha's attack.

The Sokai exchanged glances, then crossed two Space-Time Door to arrive at the space where Sasuke was.

This space was one that Sokai and the others had never seen before; it was filled with ice and snow, devoid of any sign of life.

At this moment, in this icy and snowy landscape, Madara Uchiha had already engaged in battle with Sasuke.

Sokai said to Madara Uchiha, who was observing them while fighting, "Madara-senpai, we mean you no harm."

"The reason we came in is twofold: firstly, to prevent Sasuke from escaping again using Space-Time Ninjutsu."

"Secondly, it's to prevent the Sage of Six Paths from interfering!"

Upon hearing this, Madara Uchiha Sokai and the others, and instead increased the speed of his attack on Sasuke.

As Madara Uchiha became serious again, the battle quickly progressed once more.

Before long, Sasuke was beaten so badly that he couldn't even put up a fight.

Seeing that the two were about to determine a winner, Neji formed hand Hand Seals and used Summoning Jutsu.

Bang!

After a huge cloud of smoke, a giant Toad appeared in the arena.

This Toad is none other than the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku!

At this moment, the Great Toad Sage was clearly abnormal. Although his entire body was radiating intense Chakra fluctuations, he showed no signs of life.

Its eyes were closed and its expression was blank; it was clearly a puppet being manipulated!

That's right, Yichen and the other six Sage teamed up to clear the Mount Myōboku dungeon!

Mount Myōboku has dozens of giant Toad with strength comparable to Kage Level.

However, under the sudden attack of Yichen and the other six Sages, these Toad suffered a fatal blow before they could even organize into a battle formation.

Yichen six companions split up and quickly stormed in. By the time the entire Mount Myōboku was mobilized to deal with the invasion, Yichen six companions had already killed most of the giant Toad whose strength was comparable to that of Kage Level!

The six then surrounded and attacked the Great Toad Sage, using various Dōjutsu in turn, effectively restraining the somewhat bewildered Great Toad Sage until he was killed.

The whole process went very smoothly, and no one on Yichen's side was injured. The Great Toad Sage became a puppet in Yichen's hands.

Apart from the Great Toad Sage, the other so-called Sage were completely incapable of causing any trouble.

Subsequently, Yichen showed no mercy and proceeded to massacre the entire Mount Myōboku.

The Toad of Mount Myōboku have no natural enemies and grow extremely fast. Yichen didn't want to leave any potential threats for the Iwa ninja.

Before leaving, apart from Shion, the five of them together demolished the entire Mount Myōboku, causing the ground to drop by more than ten meters.
