Jiraiya was silent for a long time.
He walked to the edge of the ruins of the orphanage and looked at the gray sky in the distance.
"Black Zetsu knows." He finally said, "Not only does it know, it is also the will left by Kaguya."
"What?"
Naruto, Sasuke, and Konan were stunned at the same time.
"What you heard is correct." Jiraiya turned around, "Black Zetsu was not created by Madara, but was created by Kaguya using his last strength before being sealed. The only purpose of its existence is to resurrect Kaguya."
"So Madara always thought that he was the leader of the plan, but in fact he was the pawn?" Sasuke's voice was cold.
"To be precise, from the moment Uchiha Madara opened his eyes to Rinnegan, he fell into the trap designed by Black Zetsu." Jiraiya lit a cigarette, "Madara thought he had seen through it. He wants to use Eye of the Moon Plan to save everyone. But in fact, the real purpose of Eye of the Moon Plan is to collect everyone's Chakra and use it to resurrect Kaguya."
Naruto clenched his fists.
"That bastard!" He gritted his teeth, "Use Nagato, use Madara, use everyone! What does it want to do?"
"It wants to resurrect its mother." Jiraiya exhaled a puff of smoke, "For Black Zetsu, Kaguya is everything. In order to achieve this goal, it can wait for thousands of years and sacrifice anyone."
"Then what should we do?" Konan asked, "If Black Zetsu really succeeds and Kaguya is resurrected, is there any way we can fight against her?"
Jiraiya did not answer immediately.
He finished smoking the entire cigarette before slowly speaking.
"It is almost impossible to fight against Kaguya." He said, "She is the ancestor of Chakra and a god in the true sense. Even Sage of Six Paths and his brother teamed up to be able to barely seal her."
"That means we have no chance of winning?" Naruto was unwilling to give in.
"I didn't say there was no chance of winning." Jiraiya smiled, "I just said it's almost impossible. Almost impossible doesn't mean it's completely impossible."
"What can I do?" Sasuke asked.
"Six Paths Power." Jiraiya looked at him and Naruto, "You two, one is the reincarnation of Indra, and the other is the reincarnation of Asura. If you can awaken the complete Six Paths Power, there may be a chance."
"Six Paths Power?" Naruto touched his belly, "Does the Nine-Tails Chakra in my body count?"
"It's part of it." Jiraiya nodded, "But it's not enough. The real Six Paths Power requires the two of you to join forces and merge the powers of Indra and Asura."
"How to integrate?"
"I don't know either." Jiraiya said, "There is no previous experience to draw on for this kind of thing. You can only explore it yourself."
Sasuke frowned.
The fusion of Six Paths Power, Indra and Asura.
These concepts sound mysterious, but if they really work, they are really worth a try.
"By the way." Jiraiya suddenly remembered something, "I discovered something else during the investigation."
"What?"
"When Kaguya was sealed, she left behind some backup plans." Jiraiya said, "In addition to Black Zetsu, she also created some special creatures. Those creatures are hidden all over Shinobi World, waiting for the day when Kaguya is resurrected."
"What creature?"
"White Zetsu."
Sasuke's pupils shrank.
White Zetsu, he had seen this name in the information of Akatsuki.
They are artificial creatures that have no independent consciousness and can only obey orders. Akatsuki once used them for reconnaissance and espionage work.
"How many are White Zetsu?" he asked.
"I don't know." Jiraiya shook his head, "But there must be a lot. And their camouflage ability is very strong, and they can perfectly copy anyone's appearance and Chakra."
"In other words, we don't know at all now how many people around us are disguised by White Zetsu?" Konan's voice was a little nervous.
"Yes."
The atmosphere became solemn again.
Black Zetsu can possess people, White Zetsu can disguise themselves.
Together, these two threats turn the entire Shinobi World into a huge minefield.
"We have to tell Tsunade this information." Naruto said, "Let her notify other villages and strengthen their vigilance."
"It's too late." Jiraiya shook his head, "Black Zetsu has been lurking for so many years and must have laid chess pieces in every village. Revealing this information now will only alert the enemy."
"Then we will do nothing?" Naruto was anxious.
"It's not not to do it, but to act secretly." Jiraiya said, "I will continue to trace the whereabouts of Black Zetsu. The three of you, return to Leaf and give the information to Tsunade and let her secretly investigate the suspicious persons in the village. Remember, do not make a big deal, otherwise it will cause unnecessary panic."
Sasuke nodded.
Jiraiya is right.
Without conclusive evidence, releasing this information will only plunge Shinobi World into chaos.
"One more thing." Jiraiya looked at Sasuke, "Your Rinnegan is very special."
"Special?"
"Yes." Jiraiya said, "Normal Rinnegan is pure purple, but your Rinnegan has a black mark in the center. I have seen that mark in ancient books."
"What is it?"
"Six Paths Power's mark." Jiraiya said, "According to legend, people who have awakened the complete Six Paths Power will have special changes Rinnegan. Your eyes may have begun to evolve."
Sasuke touched his eyes subconsciously.
The evolution of Rinnegan?
He did feel that since absorbing the power of the failed product, his eye power had become stronger.
"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" he asked.
"Good thing." Jiraiya smiled, "If you can fully master this power, you will have a better chance of winning against Kaguya."
"I understand."
Several people exchanged some details and finally decided to split up.
Jiraiya continues to stay in Amegakure to pursue clues about Black Zetsu.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Konan returned to Leaf to report information to Tsunade.
Before leaving, Jiraiya patted Naruto on the shoulder.
"Be careful." He said, "Black Zetsu is very cunning, don't let it target you."
"Don't worry, Jiraiya." Naruto grinned, "I plan to be Hokage's man, how could I die on the way?"
"It's because you want to be Hokage, so you have to be careful." Jiraiya smiled and shook his head, "Hokage is not that easy to be."
"I know." Naruto gave a thumbs up, "But I will definitely become the strongest Hokage!"
"Then I'll wait and see."
The three people left Amegakure and rushed in the direction of Leaf.
On the road, Konan has been very silent.
"Thinking about Nagato?" Sasuke suddenly asked.
Konan nodded.
"He has been used all his life." Her voice was very soft. "He has been targeted by Madara since he was a child, transplanted with Rinnegan, and indoctrinated with twisted ideas. He thought he was a god, but in fact he was just a tool in the hands of Black Zetsu."
