Shazo had long suspected that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's consciousness was lurking within the Karma.

This minor resurrection revealed knowledge specifically targeting Kaguya Otsutsuki's weaknesses, even including research on Kaguya's progress to the Kekkei Mōra stage.

The wedge's absolutely Intelligentization performance confirmed to Shazo that his guess was correct.

Therefore, Shazo was very happy to have gained this knowledge, but decided not to use Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's method in this battle.

It's important to understand that for every free gift, fate has secretly assigned a value.

The free knowledge given by the Ōtsutsuki Clan, if it hadn't been foreshadowed, would have allowed Shazo to devour the Karma of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!

Furthermore, the traps laid by Ōtsutsuki Isshiki might be prioritized against him even more than against Kaguya.

After all, for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, turning Shazo into his own vessel and then using that vessel to revive himself was definitely a higher priority than taking revenge on Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Considering that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki barrier when he got within 10 meters of Kaguya Otsutsuki, Shazo became more cautious in his subsequent actions.

He only moves forward when Kaguya launches an attack, and each time he moves only a small distance, leaving behind wooden clones as cover to confuse the viewer.

Moving step by step, Shazo finally got within 3 meters. He only needed to take one more step and reach out to grab Kaguya Otsutsuki's ankle.

At this critical moment, Shazo simply held his breath, completely controlling his Chakra fluctuations, and using the vibrations caused by Kaguya's attack, he rolled inch by inch toward the biggest prey in the Ninja World.

Kaguya Otsutsuki panicked.

When she was still Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's "guardian" and had to be completely loyal to her superiors at any time, she had a great deal of patience.

Even when attacked by a massive army of native forces, Kaguya could fight for months without changing her expression, showing no signs of impatience.

But after Kaguya Otsutsuki overthrew Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and became the supreme ruler of the world, her mindset changed.

Power is the most terrifying corrosive poison to the human heart; the more supreme the power, the more it can corrupt the human heart, leaving it riddled with holes.

After ruling the world for countless years, Kaguya Otsutsuki corrupted into a dictator, the absolute Rabbit Goddess.

Even her son, if he has any conflict with her ideas, will be immediately suppressed by Kaguya.

By the time Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki, Kaguya Otsutsuki's dictatorial power had reached its twilight, and she would no longer even listen to her sons' thoughts.

--

This created a rift between mother and son, giving Mount Myōboku's Gamamaru the opportunity to act.

The original principle of using a counter-espionage strategy was to avoid alienating close relatives, but Gamamaru, with his precognitive abilities, actually grasped the key to the estrangement between mother and son, thus propelling the massive anti- Kaguya war.

The result of the war was that Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away and imprisoned in a dark room for a full thousand years.

A dictatorial Goddess who ruled the world was suddenly imprisoned in a dark room for a thousand years, and her heart changed completely.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was once as hard-hearted as iron, treating every human being with equal disdain, and her actions were undeniably unfair.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, who escaped the seal, had a heart that seemed to be full of sharp thorns, but in reality, it was Shattering piece of glass haphazardly pieced together.

Her behavior is aggressive; she will frantically increase her combat power after suffering a slight setback, but whenever Shazo gains an advantage, she will suddenly break down and choose to run away.

Sensitive, irritable, and crazy, yet also fragile—this is Kaguya Otsutsuki, who escaped her seal.

Therefore, she had very little patience. After the 800th Shadow Clone was turned into a cloud of white smoke by the [Rabbit Hair Needle], it suddenly exploded.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes instantly turned bloodshot as she roared, "You endless dummy! Shazo! Come out here, come out and let me beat you to death!"

"Come out here! Face me like a man! Don't make me look down on you!"

Kaguya's roar had no effect; what kept pouring out of the portal were still Shazo's clones: Wood Clone, Water Clone, Ice Clone, Earth Clone, Lightning Clone, and most of all, Shadow Clone.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was completely enraged. Her hair suddenly fell down, and she flew several meters upwards, stretching out her hands and aiming at the black portal.

Gray bones pierced from her palm and shot downwards.

Why would the enraged Kaguya Otsutsuki only attack once?

One after another, the All-Killing Ash Bones were ejected. These fragile gray bones, which would break at the slightest touch, now snapped on their own.

Each of the All-Killing Ash Bones will split, some into as few as 7 segments, and some into as many as 20 short segments.

In the blink of an eye, these gray bones, which could kill at the slightest touch, filled the sky. Their sheer number was enough to make one's scalp crawl, and they directly covered a small portion of the Primordial Space.

Shazo hid beneath Kaguya Otsutsuki's skirt, which was the safest place.

Even so, he was quite frightened. He even gave this move a name for Kaguya Otsutsuki: [All-Killing Ash Bones - Scattershot]!

The material touched by the gray joints instantly lost its color, then crumbled and weathered, as if it had undergone the baptism of a long time.

The remaining wood scraps, clods of earth, ice blocks, and even the ground of the Primordial Space were covered by the All-Killing Ash Bones, and then turned into gray dust.

The entire Primordial Space was covered in fine dust, resembling a desolate wasteland that had been dead for countless years.

Kaguya Otsutsuki vented her anxiety and calmed down considerably. The portal that had been floating there alone remained silent, and no more of Shazo's clones entered.

The Primordial Space became Bian, so quiet that you could hear a speck of dust falling to the ground.

The silence made Kaguya Otsutsuki increasingly nervous; her heart pounded faster and faster, gradually reaching her throat.

Kaguya fell back to the ground from the sky. After a series of battles, she no longer enjoyed fighting enemies while hovering in the air.

While being in the sky gives you a sense of being high above and looking down on the world, it also makes you a lone target, very easy for the enemy to lock onto, and without any cover.

No defensive capability can compare to the sense of security provided by solid earth.

But Kaguya Otsutsuki was still too inexperienced.

Every battle-hardened Ninja in their Genin rank was repeatedly warned by their captain not to completely trust the earth, but to always pay attention to subtle changes on the ground and to detect traps and ambushes set by the enemy.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was unaware that the sense of security the Earth provides belongs to both allies and enemies simultaneously.

Therefore, despite possessing the Three Great Dōjutsu, she failed to observe the situation on the ground and naturally did not notice that a piece of wood had moved its position at the last moment, directly facing the hem of the Seamless Heavenly Garment.

The moment Kaguya Otsutsuki landed, Shazo launched an attack without hesitation.

He stretched out his hands and grabbed Kaguya Otsutsuki's ankles at the same time, frantically pouring the power of his Tenseigan into Kaguya Otsutsuki's feet.

[Tenseigan - Puppet Body]

A green light spread upwards along Kaguya Otsutsuki's legs, causing everything in its path to lose consciousness.

This technique is derived from the Tenseigan Secret Technique [Mind Sphere] of Otsutsuki Toneri. Shazo abandoned the function of stealing other people's memories and focused on strengthening the ability to seize control of the body.

Today, when Shazo Zuo used this technique on Kaguya Otsutsuki, he encountered resistance that was previously unimaginable.

His Tenseigan's power is lower than that of the Kekkei Mōra Limit, at most it can make Kaguya lose control of her body, but it can't control her body in return, or manipulate her like a puppet.

Shazo clicked his tongue. "Tsk, it's a shame you can't use both hands to fight today."

Hearing Shazo's words, Kaguya was greatly shocked and for a moment did not know how to resist, even forgetting that she could fly.

In a panic, Kaguya, unable to control her legs, involuntarily knelt down, only managing to keep from falling to the ground by supporting herself with her hands.

The green light of [Tenseigan - Puppet Body] quickly extended across the body, encountering the fiercest resistance at the neck, forcing it to split to the sides and descend along the shoulders, causing Kaguya's arms to lose sensation.

At this point, Kaguya Otsutsuki lost control of her body from the neck down. Like a paraplegic, she could only lie on the ground with her legs curled up, looking at Shazo with fear and confusion.

Shazo gripped Kaguya's left ankle tightly with his left hand, lifting her upside down.

The Seamless Heavenly Garment could not resist gravity and naturally drooped down as Kaguya Otsutsuki turned upside down, covering Kaguya's exquisite face and exposing her private parts.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was stunned. She had never been treated like this before, let alone been subjected to such a humiliating posture.

Anger and shame surged up simultaneously, clouding Kaguya's judgment. She cried out like any ordinary woman, "Let me go! Shazo, let me go!"

Let go of my hand!

"You actually Sneak Attack me? Are you even a man?"

Shazo snorted coldly, "Kaguya, whether I'm a man or not isn't for you to decide."

Kaguya Otsutsuki:

Shame and another kind of terror surged through her, shattering her anger and leaving her face flushed and her mind buzzing.

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't see it. At this moment, Shazo was so nervous that his face was covered in sweat. His free right hand was frantically forming hand Hand Seals, leaving behind Afterimage as if he had four hands at the same time.

Faster, faster!

We must take advantage of Kaguya Otsutsuki's confusion and lack of understanding of the situation to seal the Kekkei Mōra Limit and completely subdue Kaguya Otsutsuki.

If she realizes that although she cannot control her body, her Chakra is still under the control of the Three Great Dōjutsu, she will know that she can still resist, and resist very powerfully.

It's important to know that, aside from needing to lift a hand to All-Killing Ash Bones, Kaguya Otsutsuki's other abilities don't even require her to move her hands.

For Kaguya Otsutsuki, losing control of her body does not significantly affect her fighting ability.

Therefore, we must hurry and tightly bind Kaguya before she can react.

Just like Spider wraps the Bug hanging on its web into a can of Silk meat, and then slowly savors it.

Suddenly, Shazo's right hand went numb, as if he had been hit by a tranquilizer gun, and it fell limply to his side.

He looked down and saw that his right hand was covered with a black substance, and on the back of his hand were a pair of eyes and a mouth full of sharp teeth.

Moreover, the black substance extended several tentacles, desperately trying to break the seal placed by Shazo.

Shazo Zuo laughed coldly, "So that's who could Sneak Attack me and make my arm go numb. It turns out it's Black Zetsu, who has secretly ruled the Ninja World for a thousand years and driven the course of history."

"That being said, after all the times we've schemed against each other, this is probably the first time we've seen each other face to face."

Black Zetsu bared his teeth but didn't utter a single word, only frantically speeding up the movements of his tentacles to break Shazo's seal.

The next second, Shazo Zuo's Nine-Tomoe Rinnegan erupted, and the surging Rinnegan power flowed down his shoulder, fiercely impacting the Black Zetsu attached to his right hand.

Black Zetsu originated from Kaguya Otsutsuki. His power level was extremely high, which is why he was able to control Nagato with the Nagato Rinnegan use the [Outer Path: Rinne Rebirth], completely lock down Obito Uchiha in his Sage of Six Paths form, and control the right hand of Madara Uchiha in his Six Paths Madara and the Fifth Hokage Shazo.

However, his total power was too low, and he could only maintain control over a powerful figure like Six Paths Madara for a very short time.

Therefore, when faced with Shazo, who was even more powerful and could even suppress his mother, Black Zetsu chose to control only Shazo's right hand, giving his mother a chance to fight back.

Under the impact of Shazo's Rinnegan power, Black Zetsu was instantly stripped of most of himself, leaving only his wrists and the base of his fingers barely holding him together.

Black Zetsu knew he couldn't hold on any longer and wouldn't be able to help his mother break all the seals. All he could do was shout at the top of his lungs, "Mother! Mother! Wake up! Don't be fooled by his despicable tricks!"

"Mother! Even if you can't control your body, you can still fight! You are still the more powerful Rabbit Goddess Shazo! Kaguya Otsutsuki, with her Kekkei Mōra!"

"Ah--!"

Black Zetsu was Rinnegan, screaming as he flew into the distance.

But how could Shazo let this bastard who almost ruined his plans get away with it?

He raised his newly recovered right hand, pointed at Black Zetsu in the air, mobilized the Nuclear Style Chakra within his body, and activated Secret Technique with relatively concentrated power.

[Nuclear Style: Solar Particle]

Under Shazo's control, powerful Nuclear Style Chakra converged around Black Zetsu's body, condensing into a bright sphere.

This sphere of light, no bigger than a peanut, was exceptionally bright, radiating boundless light and heat, scorching Black Zetsu's body.

BOOM!!

The Solar Particle exploded into Fireball less than ten meters in diameter, but the power was extremely concentrated, blasting Black Zetsu's body into fragments that were evenly scattered throughout half of the Primordial Space.

Such a physical attack could not kill Black Zetsu, but it would take him a considerable amount of time to reassemble his body.

It was enough for Shazo to completely subdue Kaguya Otsutsuki and pose her in Eighteen Poses.

Shazo looked at Kaguya, who had managed to float up and escape her upside-down Kaguya: "Now, no one can stop me."
