Chapter 462 Second-Person Plan
Chapter 462 Second-Person Plan
A cemetery in the mountains.
Black Zetsu was busy at the feet of the giant Outer Path Demon Statue.
He stood at the foot of a colossal demonic statue of the Outer Path, beneath which lay a vast pool teeming with countless White Zetsu.
Since Nagato parted ways with them, he has stopped supplying additional energy to the Gedo Mazo.
As a result, the strength of these White Zetsu, now submerged in water, has been greatly reduced, and they are far from meeting the standard for actual combat.
Let alone starting a massive Fourth Shinobi World War, they probably wouldn't even be able to break into an ordinary ninja village.
Nevertheless, Black Zetsu is currently at a loss and cannot find a more effective countermeasure in the short term.
Now, even the Rinnegan, a crucial resurrection tool for Madara, has been destroyed by Chiyo.
To revive his mother, he had to take a long-term approach and find another way to continue his plan.
The Gedo Mazo did not originally exist in the ninja world.
Instead, it has been sealed on the distant moon and guarded by Hamura's descendants.
It wasn't until Madara Uchiha successfully awakened the Rinnegan that he managed to forcibly summon and steal it.
However, even Madara himself only had a superficial understanding of the Gedo Mazo.
With the disappearance of the Rinnegan, this Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is now in a state of being unsupervised and uncontrolled.
The Gedo Mazo was covered with layers of seals, but the descendants of Hamura on the moon could not pinpoint its exact location.
In fact, besides the Rinnegan, there is another thing that can bring people back to life.
That is the giant Tenseigan, which belongs to the same level as the Rinnegan and contains even more immense energy!
Moreover, to activate this giant Tenseigan, one must rely on Hamura's descendants.
Therefore, he still needs to think of a roundabout way.
At this very moment, Black Zetsu is searching among the many White Zetsu underwater for a White Zetsu individual with special abilities.
It should be noted that while ordinary White Zetsu are still alive, they have no capacity for independent thought and can be described as intellectually deficient.
The Special White Zetsu, much like Tobi, not only possesses an independent and complete personality but also unique abilities.
The jet-black, mud-like substance on Black Zetsu's body spread rapidly.
Like a surging black tide, it swept across the densely packed white Zetsu below.
Black Zetsu has repeated this action countless times, and this behavior has continued for several days.
However, the number of White Zetsu is simply too large, totaling tens of thousands, making it extremely difficult to find a specific target among them.
Black Zetsu was very patient and persevered in his search.
However, the current situation is changing far faster than Black Zetsu could have imagined.
Whether it was Obito, who had once cooperated with him, or the changing fortunes of the entire ninja world, they were no longer under his control or prediction.
Persistence pays off. After a long search, Black Zetsu's expression suddenly underwent a subtle change.
He suddenly plunged his hand into the water, then slowly pulled it out.
He pulled a white Zetsu, who was exceptionally thin and had extremely small features, out of the water.
This White Zetsu was about one-third smaller than its counterparts, and its limbs were much thinner and more delicate.
"Lord Black Zetsu!"
Upon seeing Black Zetsu after being pulled from the water, White Zetsu immediately displayed an innate submissiveness.
After all, they were all weapons created to fight against the powerful Otsutsuki clan.
Therefore, there is a strict ranking in terms of loyalty.
—His primary object of loyalty is naturally Kaguya Otsutsuki, and secondly, Black Zetsu in front of him.
"You know the Spore Invasion Technique?"
Black Zetsu stared intently at White Zetsu in front of him and asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Lord Black Zetsu."
Bai Jue nodded in response without expression, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion.
"I have an important mission for you."
"Yes!"
Black Zetsu stretched out a hand, and a ball of pitch-black, mud-like substance emerged from his fingertip and quickly entered White Zetsu's head.
In an instant, countless complex words and images flooded into Bai Jue's mind like a surging tide.
This information seemed to possess boundless power, instantly filling White Zetsu's mind.
As more and more information poured in, White Zetsu's body began to shrink at a visible rate.
It was as if its life force had been drained away.
Its skin became increasingly dry and shriveled, and its muscles gradually atrophied.
In the end, its entire body shrank to the size of a single drop of white water.
Black Zetsu carefully picked up the crystal-clear water droplet and walked steadily toward the feet of the Gedo Mazo.
He stopped when he reached the feet of the Outer Path Statue.
He placed the water droplets in his hand onto the instep of the Gedo Mazo.
The moment they made contact, the tiny white droplet seemed to melt into the body of the Gedo Mazo.
In the blink of an eye, it vanished without a trace, leaving no mark whatsoever.
After completing this series of actions, Black Zetsu did not stop.
He took a deep breath, then stretched out a palm and pressed it heavily under the feet of the Outer Path Statue.
At the same time, a surge of energy traveled from his arm to his palm.
A crisp cracking sound rang out, as if the dense sealing runes on the Outer Path Demon Statue had been struck by some enormous force.
They all shattered and crumbled, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the air.
Thus, Black Zetsu forcibly broke the seal binding the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Once this seal is broken, people on the moon will easily detect the existence of the Gedo Mazo.
At this moment, Hei Jue's mind was filled with all sorts of questions about Qian Yao.
He simply couldn't understand how Qianyao knew about his mother.
Could it be that this Uchiha Chiyo possesses a special ability similar to that of the toads of Mount Myōboku, capable of foreseeing the future?
Otherwise, how can we explain why Qianyao knows so many secrets?
The more Black Zetsu thought about it, the more absurd it seemed, and his brows furrowed even more involuntarily.
After numerous clashes with Qianyao, Black Zetsu never gained the upper hand.
Black Zetsu felt it wasn't safe to just make a backup plan.
After much deliberation, he decided to make a backup plan.
After taking one last look at the quiet Gedo Mazo, he burrowed into the ground.
Mother, no matter what, I will resurrect you.
