Chapter 234: Black Zetsu's Demise, Tutoring Kaguya?
Konan revealed the nine-tomoe Rinne Sharingan on her forehead and began to manipulate the God Tree.
The branches spreading across the entire Ninja World trembled slightly. While continuing to absorb the Chakra of the encased people, they injected new life force, ensuring their survival. The God Tree's vitality was incomparably immense, practically inexhaustible. It was enough to cover the consumption.
Moments later, the God Tree stopped trembling.
"Alex." Konan smiled faintly. "I have reclaimed everyone's Chakra. They have all become ordinary people. Even if they try to refine Chakra using the old methods, it will be ineffective unless the Chakra Seed I left in them is activated."
Without permission, some people would likely remain powerless commoners for the rest of their lives. As for the blow they might suffer from this? Being alive was good enough; who cared about their feelings?
Alex thought for a moment, and a chill appeared in his eyes. "Let the Daimyos and nobles of all the nations, big and small, sleep forever."
These people were the old ruling class. There was no place for them in the new world. They couldn't carry a load or lift a hand, yet were full of hatred and desire for revenge. Letting them live would only cause trouble. Better they die tonight than suffer from a sudden drop in living standards and loss of power later.
"Alright." Konan nodded.
The Rinne Sharingan flashed slightly. Parts of the God Tree branches trembled again, unscrupulously devouring the Daimyos and nobles wrapped within them. They were instantly sucked dry and then transformed into White Zetsu. They would become the labor force for building the new Ninja World.
White Zetsu...
Konan immediately thought of Black Zetsu, whom she had tossed into her Storage White Paper. It was time to send that guy on his way.
The Storage White Paper floated up, and a pitch-black figure fell out. Its body was pierced firmly by black rods made of Truth-Seeking Balls. It was Black Zetsu!
It smashed onto the ground, unable to move. It stared with beady yellow eyes, looking up at the two people standing before it. Their appearances were incredibly similar, almost like they were carved from the same mold.
Another Konan??
Then, its attention was drawn to the eye on Konan's forehead, and it cried out involuntarily, "Rinne Sharingan!!" Its eyes were filled with horror and disbelief. "You actually opened the complete Rinne Sharingan!!"
"You..." Its eyeballs rotated, looking at the towering God Tree nearby and the cocoons hanging from it. "You reclaimed the Chakra of the entire Ninja World and then ate the God Tree Fruit???"
"No! Impossible!! Absolutely impossible!! With the energy of the Ninja World, it is absolutely impossible for the God Tree to bear another fruit in such a short time!"
It was shaken, panicked, terrified, even despairing. Clearly, only its mother was a Kekkai Mora in the Ninja World; how could a second one pop up now?? And it was its enemy!!
It had only stayed in that strange paper space for a short time. How could the situation have changed so drastically the moment it came out?! Moving in a direction it couldn't imagine or accept.
The thousand-year plan to save Mother... had completely failed...
"Ahhh—!"
Black Zetsu suddenly let out a series of screams. The black rods stuck in its body emitted a dark glow, erupting with terrifying power.
"Kekkai Mora!!! It really is Kekkai Mora!!" Black Zetsu roared in despair. "No!! I am not resigned!!"
"I will absolutely not die like this!!"
It had plotted in the shadows for a millennium. Success was right before its eyes, yet it fell short at the last moment. It couldn't accept this!
It immediately used the last bit of power its mother had left it to defend. Unfortunately... it was useless. Although this power was strong, it was rootless and couldn't withstand Konan's Kekkai Mora power.
Black Zetsu's body began to visibly vanish and annihilate. This body, created by Kekkai Mora power, faced only destruction before a stronger Kekkai Mora.
"Ahhh—!"
Black Zetsu's screams became more shrill as its soul and body simultaneously endured unimaginable pain. This was Konan's punishment. This guy, along with Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha, had brought too many conspiracies and too much pain to Nagato, Yahiko, and the Akatsuki. Only dying in agony was the fitting end for it!
"Ah—"
The screaming stopped abruptly. Black Zetsu's sludge-like black body was completely annihilated by the tyrannical Kekkai Mora power. Not a trace remained.
Alex watched Black Zetsu's death in silence. This old schemer deserved to disappear along with Isshiki Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths. The new Ninja World would not allow any conspirators or those who hid behind the scenes to exist.
"Konan, when do you plan to revive Yahiko and Nagato?"
Konan looked around. "This world isn't ready to welcome their rebirth yet. Like I said before, I want to revive them in a beautiful new world."
"En, that works too." Alex nodded. "It won't take too long." It was only a matter of time. Unifying the Ninja World and straightening everything out before reviving them wasn't bad.
"Alex." Konan hugged Alex's right arm tightly, looking up at the blood moon in the sky. She murmured, "Of those guys who have lived for a millennium in the Ninja World, only Kaguya Otsutsuki in the moon remains..."
Isshiki, the Sage of Six Paths, and Black Zetsu were all dead. Ryuchi Cave and the White Snake Sage were destroyed. Katsuyu closed her sanctuary, and the old toad ran away with his clan. These conspirators and strange long-lived species were either dead or gone. Indeed, only Kaguya, sealed in the moon, was left.
Alex pondered for a moment. "Let's pull her down first..."
Kaguya Otsutsuki... also known as the Otsutsuki Sweet-and-Naive. She had power but seemed simple-minded. If not revived in her complete form, she wouldn't pose any danger.
Konan looked at Alex with a smile. "Alex, I heard Kaguya Otsutsuki was once called the Rabbit Goddess..." She breathed warmly into his ear, sending tingles down his spine. "Don't tell me you want to try the taste of this Rabbit Goddess?"
"Ahem." Alex touched his nose. "That's not it. Kaguya is a Kekkai Mora after all, and she betrayed the Otsutsuki clan. We can get intelligence about the Otsutsuki from her to counterattack them."
Exactly, just for intelligence. No impure thoughts existed.
Konan continued to stare at Alex teasingly, smiling seductively. "It's fine. Speaking of which, we haven't given 'guidance' to a newcomer in a long time." She licked the corner of her lips. "This Kaguya Otsutsuki would be a very good subject for guidance."
She had always been finding toys for Alex. Hinata, Shion, Samui were fine; naturally, Kaguya Otsutsuki would be too. And guiding the Rabbit Goddess might have a unique flavor...
