Madara Uchiha thought for a moment and agreed to Black Zetsu's request.
The strength of the progenitor of chakra, Kaguya Otsutsuki, seemed quite formidable. She was the strongest ninja he had ever seen in his life, with a presence even more intense than Hashirama Senju's.
It was just that, in this short amount of time, she was still crying…
Well, it seems this old ancestor's IQ isn't very high. That gives me a lot of room to maneuver.
At the same time, Madara felt a faint sense of relief in his heart. Fortunately, that little brat Obito had become the Ten-Tails' jinchuriki first. Otherwise, he might very well have become the sacrifice for Kaguya's revival…
This guy Black Zetsu, his heart is so dirty!
"Mother, don't be in a hurry to summon the God Tree and absorb the chakra scattered everywhere…" After appeasing Madara, Black Zetsu had to turn back to appease his old mother. "This ninja world may not be as simple as we imagined…"
"Hm? Are Hagoromo and Hamura still around?"
"No. The trouble might be even greater than them."
Black Zetsu had witnessed a thousand years of rise and fall. Its thinking was more comprehensive. "In this ninja world, there exists a descendant of Hagoromo. His name is Itachi Uchiha. The summoned beast he raises is extremely powerful, probably not inferior to Hagoromo…"
"A thousand years of propagation. It seems the amount of chakra on this seedbed may have exceeded my expectations…" Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned and said in a low voice, "It matters not. This time, I will not fail again."
"No…"
Black Zetsu's voice grew lower and lower. "I suspect that in this ninja world, there might be other visitors from beyond the heavens, just like Mother, because there is another of my kind active in this world!"
"Another… Zetsu?"
Kaguya's expression changed. "Have they already arrived?"
According to her shallow understanding, besides the Otsutsuki clan, there could be no one else who could split off their own will using Yin-Yang Release!
"I cannot confirm it, but the power of that Zetsu should be beyond mine…"
From within Kaguya's sleeve, Black Zetsu brought up its plan. "So we must gather all the power we can muster!"
"North from here is the coldest Land of Snow in the ninja world. I have buried the remains of Indra and Asura from a thousand years ago there. I never thought there would be a day when we would need them…"
"Edo Tensei…"
Kaguya let out a faint sigh and stretched out her hand, tearing open a square space-time gate. Her figure slowly floated in and she said in a low voice, "I never thought such a jutsu would appear here. It's just… is there no way to revive Hagoromo and Hamura?"
"I have no way of obtaining Hagoromo's remains. As for Hamura…"
Black Zetsu said in a low voice, "A thousand years ago, he moved his clansmen to the moon that seals Mother. Perhaps we can go and take a look…"
"No…"
Kaguya suddenly raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky. The veins of the Byakugan in her eyes were fully visible. She said, word by word, "Of Hamura's descendants, is there only one person left?!"
In her field of vision, no one could escape her prying eyes!
However, on that moon, there was indeed only the aura of one living person. In addition, there was a power that made one tremble with awe.
A trace of admiration appeared on Kaguya's face. "It seems that descendant has obtained a new power… A Kekkei Genkai that surpasses the Byakugan?"
"I don't know about the matters on the moon, but as far as I know, in this ninja world, there should still be descendants of Hamura…"
Black Zetsu said with some embarrassment, "There are still two branches of Hamura's descendants left in the ninja world. One is the Hyuga clan with the Byakugan Kekkei Genkai, and the other is the Kaguya clan that inherited the Shikotsumyaku… And of the Kaguya clan, only one person is left."
These two branches of descendants, coincidentally, were both in Konoha due to the Chunin Exams.
Kaguya nodded slowly. Her figure appeared on a snowy mountain, her Byakugan having already seen the two remains in the glacier…
Two aged remains…
Two streams of tears flowed from Kaguya's eyes once again. "Even the first generation of descendants who inherited the Kekkei Genkai cannot avoid death when their time comes…"
"…"
Madara, who had appeared through the space-time gate, looked at his old ancestor with a helpless expression. How come her tear ducts are a bit like Hashirama's… Aren't they a bit too low!
But her power is much stronger than Hashirama's!
Kaguya's chakra gathered in her palm. She slapped the glacier with one hand. With the power of just one palm, the entire vast glacier instantly shattered!
Madara's expression grew even more solemn. It looked like an ordinary strike, yet it had a power comparable to the Susanoo?
What surprised him even more was the next scene…
Kaguya looked at the two remains that had appeared before her. She calmly extended her palm and slowly lowered it…
A plant that should not have been able to appear was born on the snowy plain…
The seedling of the God Tree continuously climbed upwards, and finally, when it had grown to the same height as Kaguya, two branches fell off…
Then, the branches of the God Tree and the two bodies on the ground merged together, and endless ice and snow flew up, completely enveloping them!
After a long while, the ice and snow dispersed…
Two young-looking reanimated ninjas appeared before Kaguya. Their faces had the cracks of Edo Tensei, but they were still wearing the Ninshu robes they had in life…
Madara forced himself to ignore the fact that the chakra of one of the reanimated figures was very close to his own, and instead asked a question that he himself found extremely surprising. "Hm? Even when casting a forbidden jutsu like Edo Tensei, are there no hand seals required?"
He had many jutsu that all required hand seals!
Why were all of Kaguya's jutsu seal-less!
Whether it was the space-time gate that had just opened, or the Edo Tensei now… could it be that her hand seals were too fast?
Kaguya looked at him with confusion. "…"
What are hand seals?
Why do you need hand seals to cast a jutsu?
Shouldn't you just clap your hands together and get whatever you want?
"Of course not…"
Black Zetsu let out a low laugh, looked at the first to awaken, Indra, and said, "Hand seals are just for ninjas with insufficient power to guide the chakra in their bodies to release a jutsu…"
"A thousand years ago, Indra noticed that many ninjas who possessed chakra were unable to release its power, which is why he invented jutsu and hand seals…"
"It is precisely because Indra's power was too weak…"
Indra's eyes suddenly opened, revealing his Sharingan. The pattern within it even surprised Madara. It was a Mangekyo Sharingan!
No, it was a further step—an Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!
And this was called weak in power!
"It's you again…"
Indra seemed to recognize Black Zetsu, but when he raised his head and noticed the white-haired, waterfall-like Kaguya, he couldn't help but be a little terrified. "You are…"
He recognized at a glance that this woman's strange appearance was the same as his father's!
She was even stronger than his father, the Sage of Six Paths!
"Indra, this is your grandmother, the mother of the Sage of Six Paths, named Kaguya Otsutsuki…" After a light laugh, Black Zetsu continued, "As for the one behind us, he is your descendant, Madara Uchiha, and also the current reincarnation of your chakra…"
Madara Uchiha: "…"
Even though he was already mentally prepared, this wave of 'true Uchiha ancestor-grave-digging' by Black Zetsu still made him feel a little strange…
From another perspective, the old ancestor Kaguya, in order to defeat her own descendant and the bird he raised, had brought another descendant to go and dig up her grandson's grave!
What the hell kind of mess was this…
