Finally attaining Kekkei Mōra
Kaguya Otsutsuki would naturally accept the deal proposed by Shazo.
Although she doesn't understand human nature and is politically clueless, she's not completely stupid.
She is currently sealed tightly, with Shazo as the butcher and herself as the prey. Unable to exchange her Chakra for freedom, she will be sealed away by her eldest son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki.
Unlike Shazo's improved seal from the [Vajra Sealing], the [Sage of Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei] can truly seal her completely. Once sealed in the Amenominaka, she will never have a chance to escape.
When faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.
Kaguya Otsutsuki accepted Shazo's deal without hesitation, her Byakugan flashing wildly up and down to express her attitude.
Shazo nodded in satisfaction. "Very good."
He then unlocked the golden chain binding Kaguya's mouth. "However, Kaguya, you are too strong. I will not fully release your seal until our deal is completed."
Kaguya Otsutsuki stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, then asked, "When will you set me free?"
Shazo replied, "The moment I ascend to the Kekkei Mōra will be the moment you regain some of your freedom."
"Partial freedom?" Kaguya asked warily, "What does that mean?"
Shazo said, "It means exactly what it says."
"You cannot arbitrarily absorb human Chakra, nor can you kill indiscriminately. If you cause harm to others, you will be required to pay compensation."
Kaguya Otsutsuki gritted her teeth and asked, "So if someone is stupid enough to bother me, I can't even fight back?"
Shazo shrugged and said, "If someone is causing you trouble, then that's outside the scope of the agreement. You can extract Chakra if you want, and you can kill if you want."
Seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki nod in satisfaction, Shazo Zuo asked teasingly, "Now you're not going to shout, 'All Chakra belongs to me!'"
Kaguya Otsutsuki gritted her teeth and replied, "Once you advance to the Kekkei Mōra, I won't be your match anymore. Even if I want to, I'll have to hold back."
Shazo laughed, "Heh, you're not even using 'I, the Empress Dowager' anymore?"
Kaguya gritted her teeth and continued, "That's a supreme female self-designation. I can't beat you, so why are you using such a noble self-designation?"
Shazo laughed loudly, "Good! Wise!"
"Dignity resides only on the edge of the sword, truth lies only within the range of Ninjutsu!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki gritted her teeth, then couldn't help but ask, "What if I want to leave?"
Shazo retorted, "Leave? Where do you want to go?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki said, "I meant leaving the Ninja World and returning to the heavens."
Shazo shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. If you dared to leave the Ninja World, would you have waited until today? Would you have given birth to the Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki? Would you have gathered humans to create an army of White Zetsu?"
"Kaguya Otsutsuki, don't think I don't know about the Ōtsutsuki Clan. You have no guts to leave the Ninja World."
Kaguya Otsutsuki, Naruto Uzumaki, and Uchiha Sasuke all stunned.
Naruto asked in surprise, "Sensei, what is the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
Sasuke then asked, "Does the Ōtsutsuki Clan really exist?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki asked, "How do you know information about the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
Shazo Naruto, "Ask Sasuke for details."
He then looked at Sasuke and said, "You don't need to doubt the first half of the Uchiha Stone Tablet."
He told Kaguya, "How I know this is none of your concern, and I won't tell you, but I just know, including your king— Otsutsuki Shibai."
Before the stunned Kaguya could say anything, Shazo clapped his hands together, creating an extremely powerful Wood Clone.
Then he said to Kaguya Otsutsuki, "I need to send a clone to pick up a few people. Grant my clone access to Amenominaka."
"Don't worry, we won't let the Sage of Six Paths in."
Although Kaguya Otsutsuki was stubborn, she did respect reality and readily bestowed her own aura upon her clone.
The moment he sensed their presence, Shazo's Wood Clone shuddered, then smiled and said, "I can sense Tenten and the others directly now. I'll bring them all back."
[Flying Thunder God Technique]
Just five seconds later, a huge cloud of white smoke exploded in the Primordial Space.
Shazo hadn't expected that his clone would bring Tenten, Uchiha Izumi, and Tsunade with him.
Just as he stared speechlessly at the three women before him, his scalp tingling from the sheer chaos, his Wood Clone gave a wicked smile, "Original body, enjoy your blissful time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Wood Clone released the seal and dissipated, turning into wood chips scattered all over the ground.
The most painful hurt often comes from loved ones, but the most ruthless hurt can come from oneself.
"Holy crap!"
Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke were stunned, cursing under their breath. They exchanged a glance, both seeing unparalleled terror in each other's eyes.
[Will the teacher/ Hokage silence me?]
Fortunately, Shazo wasn't that heartless. He waved his hand, summoning a circular black portal, and said to the two children, "Find a place to hide. It's going to be very dangerous here from now on."
"Yes! Fifth Hokage (Teacher)!"
Naruto Uzumaki and Uchiha Sasuke hurriedly scrambled inside, as if they would be killed if they were even a step slower.
Only Shazo, his three women, and a Goddess captive remained in the Primordial Space.
But this isn't a battleground!
Let me emphasize again, this is not a battleground!!
The three female ninjas who had close relationships with Shazo knew each other; they were aware of each other's existence and their relationship with Shazo.
Therefore, this is not a battleground!
With three women making a drama, plus a Goddess watching the show, the atmosphere was indeed a bit awkward.
And it's getting more and more awkward.
As a responsible man, Shazo Zuo steered the conversation. "Alright, my clone probably doesn't have time to explain things to you, so let me give you an overview now."
"Tenten, thanks to you, this time we achieved the best result I had hoped for."
"Rabbit Goddess Kaguya Otsutsuki, made a deal with me. She gave me most of her Chakra so that I could advance to the Kekkei Mōra, and in return, I would set her free after I succeeded."
"No, you also have to provide me with protection." Kaguya Otsutsuki seemed to have come to a realization. She proactively added a condition and explained, "After losing most of my Chakra, my strength will decrease drastically, making me vulnerable to attack by my son."
Shazo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
"I will do everything in my power to help you."
Kaguya Otsutsuki said with satisfaction, "Alright, I'll be living in your village, which is called Konoha, right?"
Kaguya's question was directed at a mass of black matter, which was the newly formed body of Black Zetsu, making up about one-twentieth of its total size, and only the size of a baseball.
Because of its extremely small size, Black Zetsu possesses virtually no intelligence, only able to answer Kaguya Otsutsuki's question like an AI: "Yes, the Fifth Hokage Shazo, resides in Konoha of the Land of Fire."
Shazo glanced at the Black Zetsu, his eyes suddenly turned white, then azure blue, and his enormous Tenseigan power surged forth, enveloping the small White Zetsu.
[Tenseigan - The Creation of All Things]
The form of Black Zetsu, this Chakra life form, has been changed. Shazo has set an upper limit for his individual life form, defining the maximum limit of his recovery as the current size of a baseball.
Black Zetsu's body will continue to coalesce, but it will become a second Blackbeard Pirates, a third, and so on—until the 20th.
Under such a limit on the number of individual lives, Black Zetsu's body will remain in a cluster of 20 Blackbeard Pirates, and his consciousness will never be able to recover.
In a sense, Black Zetsu has already been killed by Shazo.
After doing all this, Shazo explained to everyone, "Black Zetsu plotted against the Ninja World for a thousand years in order to save his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki, causing countless tragedies to us Ninja during that time."
"For us Ninja, Black Zetsu is a mortal enemy who must die; for Kaguya Otsutsuki, Black Zetsu is her most loyal and devoted creation."
"Therefore, I reached a compromise: I killed Black Zetsu's soul to atone for my sins, while preserving his physical life to protect Kaguya's feelings."
"Once you've fully recovered, you can re-establish the spirit within this soul, but it absolutely cannot be Black Zetsu again."
Kaguya Otsutsuki sighed. She felt Shazo's sincerity and seriousness, as well as his respect for her, and her resentment vanished completely.
Amidst this emotional turmoil, Kaguya's trust in Shazo reached a new peak, and she said, "Let's not waste any more time, let's begin."
Shazo Zuo nodded. "Okay."
"Tenten, grant me Luck so I can get promoted!"
The girl nodded seriously Tenten: "Don't worry, Shazo Zuo, I will do my best."
"Tsunade, keep an eye on Kaguya Otsutsuki's condition and help alleviate some of her pain."
Tsunade pouted. "Fine~ then, you little rascal."
As she walked towards Kaguya Otsutsuki, she muttered, "Honestly, I'm not even that brat's wife, yet I have to take care of another woman for him. It's so annoying."
Shazo looked at Uchiha Izumi one last time, said nothing, and simply nodded.
Uchiha Izumi nodded in agreement, and golden, materialized Chakra began to appear on his body, forming a second-stage Susanoo that enveloped Tenten and Tsunade.
Having made all the preparations, Shazo walked to Kaguya Otsutsuki's side, placed his hands on her shoulders, and circulated his Dark Style Chakra.
[Dark Style: Chakra Siphon]
Buzz-Vi--!
An immense amount of Chakra, far exceeding the three women's imagination, was extracted from Kaguya Otsutsuki's body and surged into Shazo's body.
The amount of Chakra was so great that it produced a distinct, sharp whistling sound.
The three women, Uchiha Izumi, all changed their expressions. Such a terrifying amount and flow of Chakra was no less lethal than a B-rank Ninjutsu.
If such Chakra flow were to occur in them, whether it was flowing in or out, it would quickly take their lives and cause them unimaginable suffering.
The pain experienced by those whose bodies are extracted can even exceed that of the Tailed Beast extracted from the Jinchuriki.
However, Kaguya Otsutsuki was extracted by Shazo, she only frowned slightly due to slight discomfort and did not even feel any pain.
Feeling the Chakra flowing like a river, Tsunade suddenly felt listless.
As a Ninja, Tsunade was also very proud.
Her pride is built on three cornerstones: Medical Ninjutsu, Superhuman Strength, and Yin Seal.
In particular, the Yin Seal, a technique developed by Tsunade herself, allows her to accumulate Chakra for several years in peacetime and release it all at once in battle, overwhelming the enemy with Chakra.
However Tsunade, the river of Chakra flowing before him, in the span of a single breath, contained more Chakra than Shazo could accumulate in a year.
Tsunade suddenly said with a weak self-deprecating laugh, "Now I finally understand what it feels like to be mocked when the elders say I lost their entire year's worth of mission funds in one go."
A surge of Chakra was injected into Shazo's body and directly guided into his Kekkei Genkai.
Driven by a massive amount of Chakra, the Kekkei Genkai Wheel began to spin faster, and the Reversed Five Elements Wheel also accelerated in sync.
Driven by the Kekkei Genkai Wheel, the Kekkei Tōta Wheel also began to accelerate, and even the highest level of flesh and blood Chakra showed signs of change.
Driven by the acceleration of the five wheels, the physical changes that had abruptly stopped during the previous breakthrough have loosened, and the body has begun to continue its progress on the original basis.
However, it's too slow.
--
If this pace continues, it will probably take several months for Shazo's body to complete its transformation.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
Leaving aside whether Uchiha Izumi and the others could endure such a long period without food or water, even Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't sustain such extractions for that long.
Moreover, outside the Amenominaka, there are also the Sage of Six Paths eyeing the area with predatory intent.
Shazo felt that three days was too long, let alone several months.
He opened his eyes, looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki was slightly frowning, and asked, "Kaguya, the current speed is too slow. What's the fastest way for you to output Chakra?"
Kaguya frowned and said, "The fastest way to output damage? Of course, it's by spitting out [Expansive Truth-Seeking Orb] from your mouth --- Hmm?"
"Waaaaah!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Shazo lowered his head and bit Kaguya's small red lips, then activated [Dark Style: Chakra Siphon] and inhaled deeply.
Boom-!
The Flow of Chakra suddenly accelerated tenfold, and the speed continued to increase, indirectly causing a storm that put considerable pressure on Uchiha Izumi.
When the flow rate of Chakra increased 20 times, Kaguya Otsutsuki felt intense pain.
She tried to scream, but Shazo's mouth blocked her throat, even sucking away her tongue. She could only twist her body, trying to relieve the pain.
The rapid and massive influx of Chakra also caused Shazo immense pain.
But he was delighted to feel that the speed of his body's transformation had also undergone a qualitative change. The speed had increased not tenfold or twentyfold, but a hundredfold or even several hundredfold.
As the body changes and the five chakras rotate faster and faster, the Kekkei Genkai, Kekkei Tōta, and Flesh Kekkei Genkai begin to merge into one.
These abilities are themselves products of the fusion of Chakra through Nature Transformation, and their fusion naturally leads to the fusion of the seven Chakra natures into one.
When the first burst of all-attribute Chakra appeared, Shazo officially broke through to the Kekkei Mōra Limit level.
