Chapter 533 Black Zetsu, I love your mother, Princess Kaguya!
Chapter 533 Black Zetsu, I love your mother, Princess Kaguya!
Having completely mastered the power of the Eight Gates, a glint of eager anticipation flashed in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes.
Having gained the absolute confidence to confront Madara Uchiha head-on, his first thought was to test his skills against Madara.
Since he awakened the system, his strength has soared. Ordinary experts are no match for him, and even beings like Naraku were easily killed by him.
But the stronger one is, the lonelier one becomes.
When you possess overwhelming power, yet have no opponent against whom you can fight with all your might, it's a frustrating feeling of having power you can't use.
For him, it was also an unspeakable pain.
He desperately wanted to know what level his current strength could reach, and even more so, he wanted to see if he, having gathered the Asura Sage Body, Sage Mode, Susanoo, Tenseiga, and the Eight Gates, could completely suppress the elderly Uchiha Madara.
But as soon as the thought crossed his mind, Uchiha Sanfeng frowned slightly. Although he had the confidence to challenge Madara, he had no idea where Madara lived in seclusion.
After the battle at the Valley of the End, Madara Uchiha went into hiding and secretly controlled everything.
To find him, you must first find Black Zetsu; to lure out Black Zetsu, you must offer a sufficiently tempting bait to make the shadowy figure hiding in the dark, living only to revive Kaguya, reveal himself.
After a moment of thought, a meticulous plan quietly took shape in his mind.
He had already figured out what leverage he should use to lure Black Jue into his trap.
Uchiha Sanfeng's gaze swept across the area below, and he quickly selected an excellent spot: a wide-open cliff with a clear view, where Black Zetsu could easily spot the traces he had left behind.
Upon reaching the top of the cliff, Uchiha Mitsunori retracted his Susanoo and landed steadily.
He raised his hand, gathering chakra, and quickly traced his finger across the smooth rock of the cliff. A line of text, enough to attract Black Zetsu's attention, appeared on the rock: "Want to save your mother... Kaguya's third son... If you want to save her... wait for me here!"
After finishing writing, he glanced at the words on the rock and a smug smile appeared on his lips.
He knew that "Kaguya" and "saving his mother" were Black Zetsu's Achilles' heel, and the only bargaining chips that would make it lower its guard and show itself.
To make the bait more attractive, and to demonstrate its strength to Black Zetsu, making it understand that it has the ability to negotiate with it.
Without further hesitation, Uchiha Mitsunori's chakra surged violently around him.
Immediately afterwards, the massive Susanoo skeleton slowly condensed, covered with heavy armor, and the complete Susanoo was activated!
Its enormous form stands atop the cliff, almost obscuring half the sky and even blocking out the sunlight.
Uchiha Mitsuhide controlled the Complete Body Susanoo, exuding an overwhelming sense of oppression, and slowly flew towards the border camp.
He deliberately slowed down to pique Black Zetsu's curiosity and lure it into gathering information about him.
As night gradually falls, the afterglow of the setting sun completely dissipates, countless stars adorn the night sky, and the bright moonlight shines on the earth.
Around 10 p.m., Uchiha Mitsumine, who was in the camp office reviewing recent intelligence, suddenly raised an eyebrow.
The chakra mark he left on the cliff was deliberately triggered.
That dark, subtle fluctuation of exceptionally high-quality chakra must undoubtedly be Black Zetsu.
A smile flashed in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes. It seemed his bait had worked; Black Zetsu had indeed arrived.
He got up, gathered the files on the table, concealed his presence, and silently left the office, speeding towards the cliff.
Although he was confident in dealing with Black Zetsu, he dared not be careless. After all, Black Zetsu had lived for over a thousand years and was meticulous in his thinking. Even the cunning Madara Uchiha was eventually betrayed by it. Therefore, he did not know whether Black Zetsu might have secretly set up an ambush.
A moment later, the three peaks of the Uchiha clan reached the top of the cliff.
The moonlight shone on the rocks, illuminating the line of words that lured the darkest depths, making them clearly visible.
However, there was no one around the cliff, and he didn't even sense anything unusual.
It was quiet all around, with only the cold night wind howling past, stirring up pebbles and dust from the ground.
Uchiha Mitsunori rolled his eyes, showing no surprise.
Having lived for over a thousand years, Hei Jue is known for his caution and exceptional skill in concealment. Even if lured by the bait, he would not easily reveal himself, but would instead remain hidden in the shadows, observing and probing his strengths and weaknesses.
"Black Zetsu, now that you're here, why hide? Come out now and stop wasting everyone's time."
After speaking, his chakra surged again, and the Dog Clan Sage Mode was instantly activated. A faint golden light shone in his eyes, and his perception was instantly enhanced to the extreme. No subtle fluctuation in the surroundings could escape his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, he located Black Zetsu's hiding place. From a hidden tree trunk at the bottom of the cliff, a faint, cold aura was quietly emanating from there. If he hadn't activated his Sage Mode, he wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.
Uchiha Mitsunori slowly turned his head, his gaze precisely fixed on the crevice in the rock. In a mocking tone, he called out towards it, "Kuroko, want to save your mother...? I can... help you!"
He deliberately emphasized the words "save your mother" in order to completely break down Black Zetsu's psychological defenses and force it to show itself.
Within the crevice of the rock, Black Zetsu paused slightly, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
It thought it was extremely well hidden, its aura concealed to the extreme, and that even a Kage-level ninja would not be easily detected. Yet, this man in front of it was able to pinpoint its location so accurately, and even dared to call it "Little Blackie" in such a mocking way. This strength was far greater than it had expected.
Now that it had been discovered by the Three Peaks, it didn't want to hide any longer, as that would make it seem cowardly.
In an instant, a pitch-black figure, like ink, slowly seeped out from the crack in the rock, gradually coalescing into a human shape. It had no distinct facial features, only a pair of eyes glowing red, staring intently at him.
Its eyes were cold and wary, filled with deep doubt: "Uchiha Mitsunori, what exactly do you know? How do you know about Lady Kaguya? And how do you know that I want to save her?"
It had lived for over a thousand years, never revealing its origins to anyone, nor exposing its obsession with resurrecting Kaguya. Yet, the other party's words struck a nerve, forcing it to be wary and suspicious.
It simply couldn't understand why this Uchiha on the other side knew so many of its secrets.
Seeing Black Zetsu's wary expression, Uchiha Mitsunori smiled confidently, as if he had already seen through everything.
"Black Zetsu... I saw the future... Your and Madara's plan... ultimately failed..."
In the future, you eventually succeeded in resurrecting your mother, Kaguya. However, you both fell into Hagoromo Otsutsuki's trap. You and Kaguya were sealed in the Primordial Space by him using the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei, never to see the light of day again.
"And Black Zetsu, don't think your plan is foolproof, and don't think you can control everything in secret?"
"Actually, you've overlooked a very basic thing: the Rinnegan has the ability to probe the memories of souls. So, after Ashura and Indra's reincarnations died over the past thousand years, all the memories in their souls, including all your actions over the past thousand years, were completely seen by Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Therefore, your forbearance and scheming over the past thousand years have never escaped his eyes, and everything you've done has been under his control."
Uchiha Sanfeng's tone was calm, yet it was like a series of sharp blades, piercing its heart and shattering its obsession of a thousand years.
Black Zetsu shuddered, his aura instantly becoming chaotic, and his red-glowing eyes were now filled with disbelief and panic.
Having lived for over a thousand years, its temperament was already as steady as stone, but the other party's words made it unable to remain calm.
Reviving its mother Kaguya was its lifelong obsession and the sole reason for its existence.
But Uchiha Sanfeng said that his plan would fail, he and his mother would be sealed away, and all his efforts over the past thousand years would be in vain.
This caused a huge uproar in Black Zetsu's heart, but having lived for thousands of years, it naturally wouldn't easily believe someone's words.
It has seen too many conspiracies and tricks, and knows that the more tempting the words, the deeper the trap hidden behind them.
It forcefully suppressed the turmoil within its heart, its tone remaining icy, filled with deep vigilance and skepticism: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. You wouldn't have reminded me for no reason, much less genuinely helped me revive Kaguya. Tell me... what is your purpose?"
Uchiha Mitsunori glanced at Black Zetsu, who remained wary, a lecherous glint in his eyes, his face radiating a mocking smile.
He didn't keep Black Zetsu waiting long before quickly offering his answer: "Because I love your mother Kaguya, so... I also want to revive her."
These words, straightforward and bold, without the slightest attempt at concealment, struck Black Zetsu like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
Black Zetsu was completely stunned. His aura instantly froze, and his red eyes widened in disbelief. His face was blank and speechless, as if he had heard the most absurd and outrageous sentence in a thousand years.
It never imagined that anyone would say "I like you" to its mother, Kaguya... Its mother, Kaguya, was the progenitor of chakra in the ninja world, an existence that transcended the ninja world, and the most sacred and inviolable being in its heart.
But the Uchiha Sanfeng in front of it dared to say so frivolously that he liked Kaguya, and even said it to its face.
Black Zetsu opened its mouth, wanting to say something, but found itself speechless for a moment. All that remained in its heart was an indescribable absurdity. It simply could not understand how Uchiha Sanfeng could say such outrageous things.
