Strictly speaking, Black Zetsu didn't really feel much about Madara's defeat.

For him, Madara's greatest purpose was to nurture those Rinnegan.

After accomplishing this, Madara's role ceased to exist; at most, he served as a vessel to contain Otsutsuki Kaguya's revival, contributing only a few remaining benefits.

Even if Namikawa Yū doesn't take action, he will eventually have to deal with him anyway.

His mixed feelings stemmed largely from regret.

If Madara hadn't died, Namikawa Yū's body could actually have remained.

After all, Otsutsuki Kaguya only needs one vessel to be resurrected.

If Madara's plan proceeds smoothly, Namikawa Yū's body can be used as a backup, so there's no need to waste it.

Now, however, there is no other choice.

"It's a pity that their plans were seriously conflicting; otherwise, such a loyal and capable pawn as Uchiha could have been kept."

He thought with regret.

Even after Otsutsuki Kaguya is resurrected, she will still need help.

After all, she still has an extraterrestrial enemy to deal with.

She gave birth to Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki with the intention of having them as her support.

Unfortunately, in the end, he was suppressed and sealed away by his own child.

But if it were Namikawa Yū now, that problem wouldn't exist.

In Black Zetsu's view, the other party was far more loyal to Kaguya than the Hagoromo Brothers, willing to do anything to activate the Karma within his own body for Kaguya's sake, and regarding Kaguya's resurrection as the highest honor.

Isn't this more loyal than those two rebellious sons, Hagoromo Hamura?

In terms of combat strength, Namikawa Yū's performance was equally outstanding.

Having mastered the power of the Nine Tailed Beasts, possessing Asura's Sage's Body, and having the Mangekyō Sharingan himself, his stats were already extremely formidable.

Furthermore, with Kaguya's Karma, once activated, she would be a Six Paths Level fighter.

It would be such a waste to sacrifice such combat power for Kaguya's resurrection.

"We should try to persuade him to revive Madara, or have someone else carry out the Eye of the Moon Plan."

Black Zetsu thought to himself, "It's truly a pity that such an outstanding fighter has been lost."

"But his mind is very firm, and it's difficult to persuade him."

Thinking of Namikawa Yū gave him another headache.

In order to deal with Black Zetsu, Namikawa Yū acted quite obsessively in front of Black Zetsu.

His act of being willing to do anything to revive Kaguya, and regarding Kaguya's resurrection within his body as the highest honor, completely fooled Black Zetsu.

This is also why Black Zetsu had no doubt whatsoever that Namikawa Yū had used all his strength to suppress Uchiha Madara.

Based on his understanding of Namikawa Yū, the other party might be thinking about the necessity of reviving Kaguya inside his body.

If Kaguya were to be resurrected within Uchiha Madara's body, how could his loyalty and honor be proven?

There is absolutely no doubt about Black Zetsu state.

After all, there are far too many lunatics like this in the Ninja World; Namikawa Yū is just as common.

In a way, wasn't Uchiha Madara the same?

Oh, so Namikawa Yū is also from the Uchiha Clan, and even the most outstanding genius of the Uchiha Clan?

That's alright then.

It might seem strange to others, but if you say Uchiha Clan, then it makes perfect sense.

Within this group, the more talented they are, the more eccentric they become. Those who can unlock the Mangekyo Sharingan are even more eccentric than the last. If you are not eccentric enough, it means you lack the potential to understand their vision and magnanimity.

Think of Obito Uchiha; how weak he was in normal circumstances.

Once he enters a state of madness, the Sharingan he opens becomes terrifying.

Imagine going from having never seen the world to suddenly having Mangekyo Sharingan in a single day—are you scared yet?

Compared to the many Uchiha Black Zetsu had encountered in the past, Namikawa Yū's performance was almost too normal.

Thinking about this, Black Zetsu suddenly realized something.

No wonder Namikawa Yū was so slow at activating the Mangekyo Sharingan.

Emotions are a factor in this.

"Oh well, at least I've already got the Rinnegan."

He shook his head, gazing at the scene before him. A thought flashed through his mind, "As long as Rinnegan, nothing else matters for now."

For Black Zetsu, everything else is irrelevant.

As long as the Rinnegan remains intact and is still in their hands, that's enough.

With these Rinnegan, Kaguya can be resurrected at any time.

As for who exactly cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi?

That's not important at all.

The most crucial step has been completed; is it possible that anything unexpected could happen in the other steps?

It's very likely.

After all, the Rinnegan didn't fall into Black Zetsu's hands, but rather into Namikawa Yū's.

However, in Black Zetsu's view, there wasn't much difference.

But he will soon learn what the cruel truth is.

Looking down at the bustling scene below, Black Zetsu turned and left.

Meanwhile, Namikawa Yū was still cleaning up the mess.

"So they've finally left?"

Sensing Black Zetsu's departure, this thought flashed through Namikawa Yū's mind.

His vigilance towards Black Zetsu was always a top priority.

Even in his mind, Uchiha Madara was not as terrifying as Black Zetsu.

no way.

While Uchiha Madara was likely stronger than Black Zetsu in terms of sheer power, he was merely a pawn.

If it weren't for the influence of Black Zetsu, Namikawa Yū would have plenty of ways to defeat Madara, and even turning him to his side wouldn't be out of the question.

Putting everything else aside, just summon Madara's Younger Brother and parents through spirit communication and have them use their persuasive skills to convince him; I don't believe Madara wouldn't change his mind.

Ban appears to be a person with a strong will, but in reality, he is a very passive person.

This can be seen from his past experiences.

His father and Younger Brother shared the desire to protect their clan and lead the Uchiha Clan to become powerful.

The idea of creating Konoha and uniting all ninja clans was Senju Hashirama's vision.

As for the final awakening of the Rinnegan and the unleashing of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, this idea only emerged step by step under Black Zetsu's guidance.

Looking at the big picture, Uchiha Madara almost never had any ideas of his own.

He spent his entire life passively accepting other people's dreams and taking those dreams as his own ideals, without knowing what he himself wanted.

No matter how powerful a person is, Namikawa Yū has a way of dealing with them.

A direct, forceful attack to kill him is simply the most straightforward solution.

After collecting Uchiha Madara's body, Namikawa Yū ordered the people around him to clean up the battlefield, and then returned to Konoha alone.

Although the Federation headquarters has now been established, his laboratory is still located within Konoha.

His experiments were, after all, very secretive; many things couldn't be exposed to others.

Therefore, setting up one's own laboratory within one's own headquarters is undoubtedly the safest option.

Upon returning to this place, he carefully laid down Uchiha Madara's body, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.

For him, Uchiha Madara's corpse was the last piece of the puzzle he could obtain this time.

After the Federation was established, he collected almost all the bloodline puzzle pieces that could be found in the Ninja World.

Now, his body contains the cells of the Kinkaku Brothers and Senju Hashirama Cells, as well as the flesh and blood of the Nine Tailed Beasts, all fused together into one.

The Kinkaku Brothers represent the pure descendants of the Six Paths. Senju Hashirama is not only a descendant of the Six Paths of Heroes, but also the reincarnation of Asura's Chakra.

The Uzumaki Clan, the Kaguya Clan, the Hyuga Clan...

... He didn't let any of these blood-related families connected to Otsutsuki Kaguya go; he devoured them all when he had the chance.

As for the Uchiha Clan bloodline, he already possessed it.

Now, the only thing he lacks is Indra's chakra.

And this was something that Uchiha Madara happened to have on him.

If he can devour Uchiha Madara's corpse, he will be able to gather the chakra of Asura and Indra, bringing him closer to the complete transformation of Karma.

It's impossible to completely activate the wedge directly, but it can at least push the wedge's transformation level to 80% or higher.

And that was enough for Namikawa Yū.

Once the Karma seal is activated to over 80%, his body will be no different from that of an ordinary Otsutsuki.

Perhaps not quite as good as Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki, both pure Otsutsuki Clan clan, but they are very close.

He would be far stronger than Otsutsuki Toneri in later generations.

With such a physique, plus the Rinnegan left behind by Uchiha Madara, this is a pure Otsutsuki, and even among the Otsutsuki Clan, he can be considered a strong one.

After all, ordinary Otsutsuki don't reach the Six Paths Level, and they certainly wouldn't have the Rinnegan before absorbing the Divine Tree Fruit.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Namikawa Yū's face.

After a moment's thought, he quickly began to operate it.

As usual, he didn't trust anyone else to assist with this level of private experiment, not even his wife Tsunade.

Therefore, he directly created several clones and transferred a large amount of chakra into them, enough to ensure that the clones could remain for a long time without disappearing.

Only after doing all this did he begin the experiment.

This experiment lasted for several days.

It wasn't until several days later, in the early morning, that Namikawa Yū began to recover.

He had just woken up when he sensed something was wrong with himself.

My body...

He walked up to a mirror and looked at his reflection.

After absorbing Uchiha Madara's body, his physique underwent even greater changes.

Her long, gray hair had now turned completely silver-white.

Faint golden patterns emerged on its body, giving it an overall air of inexplicable divinity.

On the surface, his current appearance is somewhat similar to that of when he opened the wedge, but there are also significant differences.

Because the power that activated the wedge was temporary and could not be maintained for long.

At this moment, his condition was real and tangible; it could be maintained even without external chakra support and would not disappear.

Because his true form has now taken this form.

He truly became an Otsutsuki!

Upon realizing this, Namikawa Yū couldn't help but feel somewhat dazed.

Looking back, he once vowed to be just an ordinary person, but now he's become like this.

"If I had this power back in Zujiao Country, I wouldn't have needed to leave in such a hurry."

He smiled, the thought flashing through his mind.

He had sworn back then that he was just a mortal with a limited lifespan, destined not to be able to stay with Kaguya forever.

They are different from each other.

But things are different now.

He also became an Otsutsuki, although he was not quite as skilled as Kaguya, but in essence, they were the same.

Now, he truly deserves to stand beside Kaguya.

No, that's not enough.

The thought flashed through his mind, "Ordinary Otsutsuki will still die of old age, they just live much longer than ordinary people."

"To gain eternal life like Kaguya, one must consume the Chakra Fruit."

From beginning to end, Namikawa Yū's goal remained unchanged.

That is to obtain eternal life.

However, simply having the Otsutsuki is not enough to achieve this.

His current strength and physique are probably not as good as the Hagoromo and Hagoromo brothers were back then.

However, even the powerful Hagoromo and Hagoromo eventually died of old age.

This fully illustrates the limitations of the Otsutsuki Clan, which required the use of the Divine Tree Fruit.

There is only one way to obtain the Divine Tree Fruit.

He pondered in his heart, "Gather the Ten-Tails and plant the God Tree..."

With the current state of the Ninja World, planting the God Tree should make it highly likely that a second fruit will be produced.

After all, the cultivation of the Ninja World's scriptures and techniques is no longer what it used to be.

Namikawa Yū You couldn't wait for the second fruit to ripen back then, but now it might not be impossible.

But this raises a problem.

The ripening of the Divine Tree Fruit is not a matter of a day or two; it must be waited for a long time.

However, Namikawa Yū didn't have that much time.

Once he is reincarnated, he has a fifty-year lifespan; he can't wait indefinitely.

The most suitable place to plant the God Tree is still the world where the original body resides.

Of course, there is actually an even more convenient method.

" Otsutsuki Kaguya swallowed the Divine Tree Fruit and gained eternal repulsive force."

"Then, she should also be considered a Divine Tree Fruit," Namikawa Yū said calmly.

"In fact, the effect is even better."

In his previous life, he didn't have a deep understanding of the story of this world, but he did have some knowledge of some of the subsequent events.

If he remembers correctly, the Otsutsuki Clan can transform their own kind into Chakra Pill and then devour them to gain power, right?

Later in the story, it seems that some Otsutsuki also awakened their Sharingan through this method.

In other words, for the Otsutsuki Clan, devouring their own kind was the most effective way to cultivate.

In theory, if Namikawa Yū could transform Otsutsuki Kaguya's Art of Devouring the Divine Tree Fruit into a Chakra Pill and devour it, he could achieve the same effect as devouring the Divine Tree Fruit.

As for psychological burden or anything like that, that doesn't exist at all.

Although they all still Otsutsuki Kaguya, Namikawa Yū knew very well that these Kaguya were not the ones who belonged to him at all.

His Kaguya is still waiting for him to come home from Zujiao Middle School.

Even if it's just to meet his former wife's expectations, he must do everything he can to become stronger.

Moreover, based on what Namikawa Yū Kaguya, if she knew there were so many versions of herself in parallel universes, she probably wouldn't need anyone else to do it; she would take the initiative and devour each and every one of those parallel universe versions of herself.
