Moon, below the surface, Sealing Space.
Time goes back to before Isshiki left Six Paths Life-and-Death Shogi.
Just outside this seemingly indestructible seal, a special life form composed of pure Yin-Yang Release, like black asphalt, is almost losing its shape with excitement.
He tremblingly stretched out his dark and sticky "hand" like a chicken's claw, and carefully touched the outer wall of the seal again.
This time, it is no longer the futility of countless attempts in the past period, but... penetration!
The invisible barrier that completely isolated Kaguya from the outside world was actually corroded by his body, leaving a small gap!
Black Zetsu's consciousness burst into silent ecstasy.
A thousand years! A whole thousand years!
He lurked, planned, induced, and waited, watching the reincarnations of Indra and Asura repeating the battles and alliances again and again, watching Shinobi World Dynasties change and the wars raging. Wasn't all the patience and hard work just for this moment?
Ever since he noticed that the seal seemed to have an extremely weak "activity" decay due to his touch, Black Zetsu began the most secretive and patient erosion.
He contains within himself the weak Yin-Yang Release power derived from Kaguya, like water droplets penetrating a stone, penetrating, assimilating, and wearing away some weak node of the seal bit by bit.
Finally, today, at this moment, he succeeded!
Without any hesitation, Black Zetsu worked hard to compress and deform his mud-like body, and squeezed in through the tiny gap with difficulty.
The huge and oppressive Kaguya Chakra inside the seal attracted him like a magnet.
"Mother!"
As soon as he entered the seal, all Black Zetsu's pretense, all his forbearance, and all his palace were instantly gone.
He let out a silent but extremely emotional cry, turned into a black stream of light, and threw himself desperately at Kaguya suspended in the center. Finally, like a wanderer who had found his home, he clung to the corners of Kaguya's pure white robe, so excited that his "body" was squirming and trembling slightly.
Thousands of years of long-cherished wish are fulfilled in one day.
He was ecstatic. At this time, the conspirator could no longer use any words to describe his mood at this moment. There was only endless excitement and ecstasy rushing through his consciousness.
Great! So great! Mother! I finally... finally came to you!
However, the expected response, comfort, or even a flicker of consciousness from my mother never came.
What greeted Black Zetsu was Kaguya's still closed eyes, and a cold, domineering, and irresistible suction!
The moment Black Zetsu touched the corner of Kaguya's clothes, Kaguya reacted instinctively.
A powerful suction force burst out from Kaguya's body.
The pure Chakra part of Black Zetsu's body that originates from the Kaguya deity merges into the meridians of Kaguya like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.
"Mom...?!"
Black Zetsu's consciousness was filled with astonishment and momentary confusion, but he did not resist, and even took the initiative to let go of his own defenses, allowing Kaguya to absorb it. As long as it could help his mother regain her strength, he was willing to sacrifice everything!
With the injection of Black Zetsu Chakra, Kaguya's pale face seemed to regain a trace of very light blood color, and the body that had been silent for thousands of years began to emit a faint wave of vitality.
Then, a change happened.
On Kaguya's smooth forehead, under the originally smooth skin, a scarlet light gradually lit up, and then like a torn wound, a strange and majestic scarlet Rinnegan slowly emerged.
This is exactly the prototype of Rinne Sharingan she obtained after devouring Chakra Fruit.
However, compared with the complete "Eye of the Moon" with nine black Tomoes on her forehead a thousand years ago, this new Rinnegan appears dim and "rudimentary".
It only has the basic texture of Rinnegan, but lacks the Nine Tomoe that symbolizes complete control over Ten-Tails.
"Not enough..."
Kaguya slowly raised a pale arm, unfolded his wide sleeves, and gently put Black Zetsu, which had become weak and shrunk into a ball due to the large amount of Chakra extracted, into his sleeve as if he were putting away an insignificant small object.
Black Zetsu didn't struggle at all. Instead, when he felt the wrapping of his mother's sleeves, a feeling of peace of mind arose in his consciousness.
At this moment, it seems that the partial recovery of Kaguya's power and Black Zetsu's action of destroying the seal jointly shook the seal structure that has existed for thousands of years!
Click...
A subtle but clear cracking sound came from somewhere in the core of the seal.
Immediately afterwards, a chain reaction occurred.
The layers of runic chains that bound Kaguya began to break inch by inch, and the invisible sealing force field was like broken glass, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing and spreading rapidly.
"Broken!"
Kaguya spit out a cold word.
She didn't even make any big movements, but her whole body Chakra shook suddenly.
Boom--!!!
The powerful seal that had trapped her for thousands of years finally completely shattered and disintegrated under this internal and external attack.
It turned into scattered light spots all over the sky and quickly disappeared into the cold Sealing Space.
At the same time, a breath of Chakra belonging to Kaguya Otsutsuki, like a beast that broke free from its cage, spread suddenly with the moon as the center, towards Shinobi World, and even towards the more distant Pure Land.
The spread of this aura was like throwing a boulder on a calm lake, instantly alarming certain beings.
At the same moment when the seal was broken and Kaguya escaped from the trap, inside the moon Sealing Space, a translucent shadow composed of pure Chakra slowly condensed.
The figure has white hair and white clothes, and his face is the same as Hamura.
It is the part of Chakra's consciousness that Hamura Otsutsuki left behind thousands of years ago to monitor and maintain the seal.
"Mother..."
Hamura's Chakra phantom looked at Kaguya, who had escaped from trouble and had a scarlet forehead Rinnegan, with complicated eyes, showing not only admiration for his mother, but also deep worry and vigilance.
However, Kaguya's reaction was extremely decisive, even cruel.
She didn't even take another look at Hamura's shadow, she just casually raised her other hand and waved lightly in the direction of the shadow.
An invisible but powerful force swept across, and the consciousness of Chakra left behind by Hamura was like a candle in the wind. Before it could even finish a sentence, it was instantly scattered, turned into little stars, and completely dissipated.
Kaguya stepped forward and slowly walked towards the more open area of this underground space.
She raised her head slightly, as if she was feeling something. Although it was still the closed center of the moon, the suffocating sense of restraint that had lingered on her for thousands of years had disappeared.
"Is this what... freedom smells like?"
Kaguya whispered to himself, his voice still cold, but it seemed to contain an extremely subtle and indescribable wave.
However, her freedom will obviously not be obtained so easily.
The moment she finished speaking, the space in front of her was distorted and rippled.
Two more solid soul shadows with a more vast and majestic aura emerged out of thin air, like two insurmountable mountains, blocking Kaguya.
On the left, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Rinnegan is calm and calm, with scrutiny and determination.
On the right, there is Hamura Otsutsuki. The spirit Soul Body is countless times more solid than the previous Chakra, and its eyes are equally complex and firm.
The souls of the two brothers actually landed here directly from Pure Land at the moment they sensed that Kaguya escaped from trouble, the seal was broken, and Hamura Chakra's consciousness was destroyed!
Hagoromo Looking at the mother who had escaped from the trap, her forehead was scarlet Rinnegan, and her aura was weak but still terrifying in nature, she slowly spoke, with a hint of disappointment and solemnity in her voice:
"Mother, I originally thought that after these thousand years of sealing and reflection, you would change."
Kaguya stopped and finally slowly opened his eyes.
They were a pair of pure Byakugan, glaring coldly at the two sons standing in front of them, the scarlet Rinnegan on their foreheads turning slightly, emitting a strange light.
"You are my sons, but you cannot restrict my freedom."
Kaguya didn't have the silly and sweet look when she faced Naruto at all. She was as cold as a piece of ice at this moment.
Because Naruto might have been able to help her get out of trouble before, but at this time, she was already out of trouble.
"Your freedom cannot override the freedom of others."
"Then you will give freedom to Shinobi World people? Will you give me freedom?"
Kaguya asked calmly.
