Although Mujie's capture surprised Kusana somewhat, since that guy was all right afterward, he was not too worried.
As one of the veteran Grass ninjas who had followed him since the rebuilding of the Land of Grass, Kusana had considerable faith in him.
Since he had not been killed immediately, killing Mujie would not be so easy from here on. When it came to staying alive, even Kabuto... that son of his, who was said to have inherited his fine qualities, could not compare.
But.
What was Danzo doing?
Why had he sent them all into Impel Down?
Of course~
Although Kusana did not know what Danzo was up to, he was not worried. A fight was still a fight.
After putting his mind at ease, Kusana turned to look at the Divine Tree planted here by the sea...
After a period of diligent cultivation and the contributions of the sea's pirates, the Divine Tree had finally borne fruit.
A peculiar fruit that radiated divine light.
However.
It looked slightly different from Kaguya's fruit.
Perhaps because it had been fed quite a few Devil Fruits, strange patterns covered its surface, making it resemble an unusual Devil Fruit.
Of course~
That was not strange.
Different planets might give rise to different Devil Fruits.
For example, the ninja world had given birth to the Nine-Tails, while the Chakra Beast born from Momoshiki Otsutsuki seemed somewhat different from those of the ninja world.
Thus, Kusana did not dwell on it. He simply stroked his chin as he looked at the Divine Tree before him.
If not for the seal suppressing it here, this new Ten-Tails would likely have let out its roar across the world the moment it matured.
Speaking of which, Black Zetsu had contributed tremendously to the Divine Tree's rapid maturation.
