"But still, the same goes."
"You can run away from Uchiha Madara, but you can't run away from the Rinnegan."
Kenshi didn't believe that Madara would have time to retrieve the Rinnegan on Nagato.
Kenshi turned around and was about to fly to Amegakure to take the Rinnegan off Nagato, crush it into dust, no, burn it to ashes with Fire Release.
"Ken..."
"Tell me, where did Madara run off to?"
The moment White Zetsu emerged, before he could even finish his first word, Kenshi had already arrived beside him, grabbed his neck, pulled him out of the ground, and demanded.
"I came here secretly on my own."
A hoarse, magnetic voice came from behind Kenshi. The speaker wasn't the White Zetsu in Kenshi's hand, but a White Zetsu who had emerged from behind him.
Kenshi turned around, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Interesting!"
This White Zetsu had black eyes and a different aura from the White Zetsu in Kenshi's hand. Kenshi already knew who it was.
Black Zetsu had actually shown himself.
Kenshi's curiosity was piqued. He didn't immediately attack, intending to listen to what this guy had come to tell him secretly.
This guy had been lurking for a thousand years, never showing himself until the very end. Madara had always thought that the Black Zetsu he had condensed before his death was his will, but in fact, it had always been Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's will. Madara had been completely fooled, and the entire ninja world had been completely fooled.
When he watched Naruto back then, seeing Black Zetsu suddenly pour out his heart to Madara, Kenshi was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this guy Madara's will incarnation?
So sneaky!
Lurking so deep!
It had shocked Kenshi back then.
Now, he was very curious about what Black Zetsu wanted to tell him.
"The Rinnegan cannot be destroyed."
Black Zetsu immediately emphasized that the Rinnegan could not be destroyed. The reason why he had come to see Kenshi, risking exposure, was because he was afraid that this guy would go and destroy the Rinnegan.
He had waited for a thousand years and didn't want to wait any longer.
Moreover, this guy Kenshi could actually reincarnate without any soul loss. If he continued to wait, even if he waited for the Rinnegan to appear again, he would still have to face Kenshi, a monster who could also keep reincarnating and living forever. There was no point in continuing to wait.
It was better to show himself now and persuade Kenshi to give up his intention to destroy the Rinnegan.
"Reason?" Kenshi smiled, looking at Black Zetsu, curious about what reason he would use to persuade him.
"I am an immortal."
Black Zetsu finished speaking, then deliberately paused, looking at Kenshi. Kenshi also looked at him, his eyes showing no surprise.
"Then?" Kenshi smiled.
"Ahem..." Black Zetsu was a little embarrassed. He had forgotten that Kenshi might also be an old monster who kept reincarnating, and wouldn't be surprised by an immortal. So, he continued, "I was born a thousand years ago. I've seen the Sage of Six Paths. I know the truth about everything in this world."
Kenshi listened, still with a calm expression as if he were listening. This reaction made Black Zetsu a little depressed. It wasn't right.
Forget it.
Black Zetsu put away his depressed thoughts and continued in a heavy tone, "Actually, there has always been a huge crisis in the ninja world. A thousand years from now, terrifying gods and demons from outside the stars will descend upon the ninja world to harvest all the life chakra in this world. The Rinnegan is the key to saving the world."
"Then?" Kenshi continued to ask with a smile.
"Then..." Black Zetsu suddenly got stuck. Kenshi's expression was too calm. It was as if he believed it, but also as if he didn't believe it. He looked like he was listening to a story, which made Black Zetsu feel a little pressured.
After thinking for a moment, Black Zetsu changed his approach and said, "Do you know why the Sage of Six Paths died?"
"Why?" Kenshi was interested in this question.
The Sage of Six Paths was clearly able to live forever in this world, but he died in the end.
Although the Sage of Six Paths' soul was still alive in the Pure Land, and he might still be manipulating the development of the ninja world from the shadows.
But his body had indeed died. This was undeniable.
Why did the Sage of Six Paths choose to die in the flesh?
Kenshi was very curious.
Black Zetsu hadn't expected that a random question he had pulled out of thin air would make Kenshi take it seriously. He was secretly delighted. On the surface, he said solemnly, "You may not know, but the chakra in this world is a seed that the gods and demons from outside the stars planted in this world. Their purpose is to wait for the seed to sprout and grow strong, then come back to harvest it."
"A thousand years ago, the Sage of Six Paths, who possessed the Rinnegan, absorbed almost all the chakra in the ninja world at that time. After becoming a Six Paths level powerhouse, he barely defeated the gods and demons who came to harvest it.
But there's more than one god and demon from outside the stars. As long as the chakra seed is still there, the gods and demons will eventually descend again."
"So, for the safety of the ninja world, and so that the ninja world could have the power to defeat the gods and demons again, the Sage of Six Paths voluntarily divided the chakra in his body into nine Tailed Beasts. The rest was scattered to people all over the world, allowing these people to spread it continuously, allowing the chakra reserves of the ninja world to grow stronger and faster."
"At the same time, the scattered chakra will also reduce the attention of the gods and demons."
The more Black Zetsu spoke, the more excited he became. The more Kenshi listened, the more solemn his expression became.
Black Zetsu said that after a thousand years of accumulation, the total amount of chakra in the ninja world had become terrifying. It was like a seed that had grown into a towering tree. The target was too obvious, and it would soon attract the gods and demons from the stars to descend and harvest it.
At this time, only someone who possessed the same Rinnegan as the Sage of Six Paths, like the Sage of Six Paths a thousand years ago, could absorb all the chakra in the ninja world again, become a powerhouse even surpassing the Six Paths level, and defeat the gods and demons who were about to arrive, protecting the ninja world.
Black Zetsu said that even if Kenshi wasn't interested in protecting the ninja world, for the sake of his own life and that of the Uzumaki woman, he couldn't destroy the Rinnegan.
When the gods and demons arrived, they would kill everyone in this world indiscriminately, including Kenshi.
"This is the truth of the world."
After Black Zetsu finished speaking, he paid attention to Kenshi's expression. Seeing that Kenshi was lost in thought, he smiled slightly and said, "Cooperate with me. Then, you can transplant the Rinnegan and become the savior who defeats the gods and demons."
"Cooperation is unnecessary." Kenshi smiled and shook his head. Just as Black Zetsu's heart sank, Kenshi smiled again and said, "But I won't interfere with your and Madara's plan from now on. You can continue as planned."
"Agreed." Black Zetsu's eyes lit up. He didn't care why Kenshi didn't want to transplant the Rinnegan. He quickly said, "Agreed."
"Agreed." Kenshi chuckled softly. He had seen the original story. He didn't want the Rinnegan that much. His confidence was always in his absolute chakra control.
Soon, Black Zetsu left. Kenshi also condensed a clay bird and flew into the sky, heading towards Yezi.
Underground, Black Zetsu felt relieved after sensing that Kenshi wasn't flying towards Nagato. The Rinnegan was safe.
On this side, Kenshi stood on the back of the clay bird, but he frowned in thought, looking heavy-hearted.
He knew that what Black Zetsu had just said was three parts truth and seven parts lies.
The gods and demons from outside the stars were actually the Ōtsutsuki clan. The Sage of Six Paths had defeated his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Kenshi knew this from watching the anime.
But Black Zetsu unintentionally mentioned something that caught Kenshi's attention.
"The total amount of chakra in the ninja world will attract the attention of the gods and demons."
The chakra in the ninja world was indeed brought to this world by the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Before that, the three great summoning beast sanctuaries in the ninja world used natural energy as their supernatural power.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki brought the God Tree to absorb the natural energy of this planet to cultivate chakra fruits, which touched the survival interests of the toads of Mount Myōboku, who used natural energy.
Therefore, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's two sons were secretly guided by Gamamaru, sparking an irreconcilable conflict between mother and son.
In the end, after a great battle, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was sealed, the God Tree problem was solved, the toads' natural energy was preserved, and chakra was spread throughout the ninja world.
Who benefited from this? Without a doubt, it was the toads.
Logically, after chakra spread throughout the ninja world, the summoning beasts should also be using chakra.
But… Kenshi suddenly thought of a problem he had overlooked before.
That was, after a thousand years, did the toads of Mount Myōboku have chakra?
Thinking carefully about the original story, the toads of Mount Myōboku, whether they were using Water Release or other jutsu, all had natural energy.
