Nothing Is More Moving Than a Mother and Child Reuniting

Not only is he not in a hurry, he even has the leisure to prepare a late-night barbecue first.

He now has the right to enjoy this leisurely lifestyle.

It's about time to lay our cards on the table today.

Upon hearing Uchiha Shingen's words, Black Zetsu began to think seriously on the spot.

It got so fried it was almost burnt; I couldn't resist.

"Shingen, I think I got a little too excited," Black Zetsu said. "But what I'm about to tell you might be beyond your imagination."

"Wait a minute," Uchiha Shingen said. "Judging from your expression, we won't finish talking in no time. I'll go hunt some game first... By the way, can you eat spicy food?"

Black Zetsu: "... I don't eat anything at all. Hurry up, I need to regroup."

Uchiha Shingen nodded and left the cave.

When he reappeared after a while, he was carrying a wild boar and had also gathered a large bundle of wood for starting a fire.

He placed the unconscious wild boar aside, piled up the wood, rubbed his Uchiha Shingen, took out cooking seasonings and other tools from the sealing scroll, and began to prepare the meal.

Once he reached the pinnacle of power in this world, he enjoyed the benefit of having no taboos.

Many experiences are only considered experiences because they are not strong enough.

Black Zetsu sat down by the campfire lit by Uchiha Shingen and hugged one of his legs.

The Kakkō illuminated Uchiha Shingen's face, making it appear reddish, but Black Zetsu remained black.

Its surface even has a matte finish.

Uchiha Shingen was focused on grilling the meat; it was a great pity he couldn't use charcoal.

Wild boar meat is firmer than other meats, with tender flesh and a rich, gamey flavor. It tastes especially delicious when grilled over charcoal.

"Tell me about your mother." Uchiha Shingen used his Wind Release to cut off a piece of meat, wrapped it in a washed leaf, and took a bite.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, his culinary skills haven't declined.

The sauce was absorbed very well.

"My mother is the goddess of this world," Black Zetsu said. "She is the one who brought Chakra to this world, she pacified the chaos and brought peace to this world, she is known as..."

"The Rabbit Goddess." Uchiha Shingen, his mouth greasy with food. "There are records of this goddess in mythology, but of course, that's just mythology."

"That's reality," Black Zetsu said. "Hagoromo, Hamura Otsutsuki, and I are all her children. I'm the youngest. As for Hagoromo, you call him the Sage of Six Paths, but he's actually a sinner who betrayed his mother."

"So, your mother is the Rabbit Goddess in mythology, and also the Ten-Tails in mythology, right?" Uchiha Shingen looked at Black Zetsu. "We're old friends, family, so don't try to be polite. Just say what you mean. I won't ask why you've lived so long, or why you act as the 'incarnation of will'."

"Ah, don't worry, I won't hide anything this time." Black Zetsu nodded. "You're not surprised at all by my and the Sage of Six Paths' identities. It seems you know more than I thought. Did Hagoromo tell you?"

"No, I only met him twice. He spoke ambiguously and didn't trust me."

"Yes, he only believes in Ashura because Ashura inherited his 'teachings'." Black Zetsu's tone was not without sarcasm.

While the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan share a significant role in the thousand-year-old blood feud, Hagoromo Otsutsuki also played a crucial supporting role in tracing the origins of the conflict.

"Myths are just myths. They aren't Mother's true form, but rather a distortion created by the evil Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki to erase Mother's existence from history," Black Zetsu said earnestly. "It all originated from a Divine Tree..."

It began to recount everything it knew.

Even though he only knew the general outline, Uchiha Shingen didn't interrupt to show off his presence. He listened quietly as Black Zetsu described Kaguya Otsutsuki in the most detailed way it had ever described her before.

Personal feelings and preferences cannot be erased, but this time, Uchiha Shingen felt that Black Zetsu was indeed recounting everything in its memories from a relatively objective perspective.

It includes information about Kaguya Otsutsuki and her clansmen who cultivated the God Tree, as well as content about the Ōtsutsuki Clan, which, while not detailed, provides a general understanding.

Having never watched Boruto, Uchiha Shingen only then realized that Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't the initial boss.

Rather, they were sacrificial offerings.

Although this was not death for an Ōtsutsuki Clan, there was no doubt that Kaguya Otsutsuki decided to rebel against this predetermined fate.

Thus, at that moment, Kaguya Otsutsuki defied the traditions of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, becoming a "rebel."

Her accomplice, whom she betrayed, has disappeared into hiding somewhere; the only certainty is that he is still somewhere in this world.

Even the Ōtsutsuki Clan, who continuously cultivate Chakra Fruit by offering the world as sacrifices, are social beings and need companions.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, having consumed the Chakra Fruit, became one with the God Tree, thus becoming the strongest being on this land. She used this power to quell the chaos of the world. However, perhaps unable to fully contain the power of the God Tree, she gave birth to a child amidst the blessings of the people.

She gave all her humanity to her child, driven by both her maternal instincts and her greatest solace in the foreseeable endless loneliness.

But when she decided to use the "White Zetsu," a biological weapon, as her assistant to fight against her former people who would inevitably come after her, the children were the first to attack her.

Despite possessing the appearance of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, these two brothers are people of this world. And being born with Chakra, they have a different understanding of Chakra than Kaguya Otsutsuki. Therefore, they cannot stand by and watch their mother destroy the world in this way.

While recounting this history, Uchiha Shingen was busy eating meat the whole time, but he was certain that Black Zetsu was being kept in check, and he didn't get too caught up in personal emotions.

Then came the history of conflict between Indra and the Ninshu, and between the Uchiha Clan and Senju Clan.

Black Zetsu also honestly admitted this time that he spent a lot of time finding the stone tablet left by Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and then even more time altering it.

Interestingly, when discussing Indra and Ashura, Black Zetsu still believed that Hagoromo Otsutsuki favored his youngest son, ignoring Indra's thoughts. Therefore, Indra's betrayal was not due to Black Zetsu's instigation; Black Zetsu merely gave him a push.

Generation after generation, everything seems to follow a cycle.

In his later years, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was also turned against by his own children.

"That's about it. This time, I didn't tell a single lie."

By the campfire, Black Zetsu ended his confession.

That is to say, it has no lungs and never stops from beginning to end.

After he finished speaking, Uchiha Shingen was also stuffed.

You'll eat extra much grilled meat when you're listening to a story.

"You've been holding it in for so long, it must have been tough for you," Uchiha Shingen said. "Seriously, how did you manage to put up with it? The Uchiha Clan has never been known for its good temper."

It's more than just bad!

Black Zetsu sometimes looks back and thinks it's a miracle he could tolerate the different treatment from generation to generation of Indra.

As for the previous generation, although it didn't suffer much mistreatment from Uchiha Madara, being the "incarnation of will," Uchiha Madara, on the verge of death, promptly found it a nanny job.

What followed was a complete nightmare.

"That's all in the past, it's all over," Black Zetsu said. "But you, have you learned the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack?"

Uchiha Shingen threw away the meat in his hand, wiped his mouth, and stood up.

"Let's go, let's find somewhere else."

"Isn't this place okay?"

"It'll collapse, and besides, I'm too full and need to digest."

"Why do you have so many tricks up your sleeve..."

Black Zetsu had no choice but to follow Uchiha Shingen out of the cave, and the two headed deeper into the forest.

They had already entered the territory of the Land of Rivers.

However, the boundaries drawn by humans are meaningless to the endless forests.

After arriving at a relatively flat area, Uchiha Shingen, without saying a word, had sex.

To give Black Zetsu a clearer view, he didn't use the Tailed Beasts's Chakra this time, but instead used his own.

The Divine Vacuum Attack, unleashed from his own Chakra, was the same color as his Susanoo; if you didn't look closely, it really did look like he was throwing Susanoo's fist.

A giant white Chakra fist rose before Black Zetsu's eyes, easily leveling the hill in front of him.

It's confirmed without a doubt, it's the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

"Personally, I think it shouldn't be called that. Let's just call it 'Divine Vacuum Attack'." Uchiha Shingen finished his work and said, "Speaking of which, why is it called 'Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack'? Is there any particular reason behind it?"

"Indeed, the power you unleashed is far from reaching Mother's level, so you did see Mother after all." Black Zetsu pretended not to hear the last question.

It doesn't care about that stuff.

"Yes, I saw him." Uchiha Shingen sighed, "Your persistence is so touching. You were digging a base here last time, weren't you? Take me to the base, and I'll take you to see your mother."

"Me too?" Black Zetsu was stunned.

This was something it hadn't expected. It was well aware of its mother's power, but it hadn't anticipated that Uchiha Shingen would be willing to act as a go-between instead of enjoying it all to himself.

It didn't even have a chance to make a request.

"Otherwise what? That's your mother. Do you think I'd stop you from seeing her?" Uchiha Shingen said. "I saw your mother through Chakra. If we connect our Chakra, you can go in with me."

Chapter Twenty-Six: Nothing is more touching than a mother and child reunion.

According to Black Zetsu's memory, it had never run this fast since its birth.

Shingen is a good friend!

The only downside is that it ran so fast passively.

"No! No! We're going the wrong way! It's this way!"

It shouted.

Boom!

As Uchiha Shingen was running, he pushed off with his foot, and the Lightning Release blasted a large crater in the spot where he stood. Before the arc of electricity in the air had even disappeared, Uchiha Shingen had already vanished in another direction.

Black Zetsu's head emerged from Uchiha Shingen's shoulder.

The reason was that Black Zetsu discovered that Uchiha Shingen was much faster than it, so it volunteered to change its mode.

In other words, I'll handle the navigation, you just focus on driving.

Familiar scenery finally began to appear before my eyes.

It was a long coastline and sandy beaches.

Uchiha Shingen once brought a contemporary Indra and Ashura cubs here for an internship.

I ran all the way here, without even needing to get through the middle of the night.

The night view of the seaside in the Land of Rivers is much simpler than that on Blue Star.

In terms of social landscape, the Hokage world today is still a medieval agricultural society, with very few traces of human intervention in the wild.

The sea was calm and deep, shrouded in silence. Waves, pushed ashore, gently kissed the rocks, their sound soft, creating a hazy, drowsy atmosphere.

The moonlight shone down from the sky, and the flowing waves looked like shimmering fish scales. The dim moonlight made the sky look gray and somewhat oppressive.

"My turn." Faced with this situation, Black Zetsu excited. "Shingen, you rest for a while, I'll take over next."

"Rest my ass! You're still using my body, hurry up!" Uchiha Shingen complained, then let Black Zetsu temporarily use his body.

Before long, the black liquid covered his entire body.

Uchiha Shingen is gone, replaced by Black Zetsu, who is a larger size.

As for Black Zetsu, the first thing it sensed was Uchiha Shingen's overwhelmingly powerful eye power.

[Thankfully, I haven't awakened the Rinnegan yet...]

That's what it thought.

The Rinnegan's excessive power is not something everyone can withstand.

Even transplanting a high-level Sharingan can have this limitation.

While Uchiha Shingen's Sharingan is only Mitsudomoe, the power it contains is genuine Mangekyo Sharingan.

For Uchiha Shingen now, even if he keeps it running all the time, he won't feel any burden.

Black Zetsu did not allow Uchiha Shingen to shut down his Sharingan, since using those eyes would allow him to reach his destination faster.

After donning its new skin, Black Zetsu immediately sank into the ground.

The Sharingan's powerful ability to perceive Chakra was immediately and directly felt by Uchiha Shingen.

Black Zetsu's base was dug out deep underground.

Based on its experience, this depth ensures that the White Zetsu cultivated within cannot be directly sensed from the surface by any Chakra- sensing ninja.

White Zetsu are modified from humans, but they are different from humans. They are biological weapons with fully activated Chakra, and they do not have the concept of refining Chakra.
