A new day.
After working on documents in the Hokage's office until nine o'clock, Shinho got up and left.
Before long, he arrived at the wasteland.
"Shinho!"
Naruto, who had arrived earlier, waved at him.
He was grinning from ear to ear, looking very happy.
Over the past few days, he had learned a lot from the Sage of Six Paths, and his strength had greatly improved.
"Shinho."
Sasuke greeted him with his usual expressionless face.
But inside, he was eager to have a go at it.
He had now fully mastered the abilities of the Rinnegan, and the Six Tomoe Rinnegan, in particular, made him feel incredibly powerful.
He really wanted to spar with Shinho.
However, he also knew the priorities; now was not the time to fight.
"There's one issue," the Sage of Six Paths said, glancing at White Zetsu. "Resurrecting Kaguya requires a massive amount of chakra. The cakra stored inside Ten-Tails might not be enough."
"Don't worry about that," Shinho shook his head. "I can supplement her."
"You can?" The Sage of Six Paths was stunned, hesitantly asking, "Then you..."
"I have a lot of chakra," Shinho said with a smile. "And I don't rely much on chakra."
He knew what the Sage of Six Paths was worried about.
But as a Gu Immortal, his immortal essence was limitless; losing some wasn't a big deal.
The key to victory lay in Gu worms, not immortal essence.
"As long as you know what you're doing," the Sage of Six Paths didn't try to persuade him further.
He wasn't as anxious as he had been in the past few days.
Because Sasuke and Naruto's strength had greatly satisfied him.
He felt that even without Shinho, they still had a certain chance of winning.
"Step back," Shinho waved his hand and said.
The Sage of Six Paths, Sasuke, and Naruto immediately moved away, leaving only Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
"Let's begin," Shinho looked at Black Zetsu and said.
"Yes," Black Zetsu said in a deep voice.
He formed hand seals, his body transforming into a black stream of water, then entwining around White Zetsu.
Black and white intertwined, as if they had merged into one.
Shinho narrowed his eyes.
He suddenly thought of a question.
Now, both Black Zetsu and White Zetsu were controlled by his Beast Enslavement Gu.
If Kaguya was resurrected using their bodies, would she also be controlled?
Or would she be too powerful to be controlled?
While Shinho was pondering, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu formed hand seals and pressed them onto the ground.
In an instant, the earth shook, and a tree rose from the ground, rapidly growing.
After growing infinitely tall, a flower bud appeared on top of the tree.
Shinho casually waved his hand, and Immortal essence surged out.
The God Tree immediately became agitated, countless branches stretching out, madly absorbing his immortal essence.
In the original story, when the God Tree appeared, it absorbed the surrounding chakra, turning many ninjas directly into skeletons.
Soon, the flower bud trembled, its petals drooping down, finally blooming to reveal a crimson eye.
Black Zetsu and White Zetsu formed hand seals again.
In the next second, the air vibrated.
The sky and earth changed color, winds and clouds surged, and Black Zetsu and White Zetsu flew up, rushing towards the God Tree.
They fused together.
Boundless chakra surrounded them.
Their forehead suddenly cracked open, and a crimson eye opened.
This was the Rinne Sharingan, the progenitor dojutsu of the Rinnegan and Sharingan, which could only be awakened by consuming the Chakra Fruit.
The eyeball had nine tomoe, belonging to the Rinnegan's Kekkei Mōra.
This Rinne Sharingan of Black Zetsu and White Zetsu undoubtedly belonged to Kaguya.
In the original story, after Madara awakened the Rinne Sharingan, he flew up to the moon.
Using this eye, he cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi, trapping everyone in the world in a genjutsu.
Then he cast the God: Nativity of a World of Trees, enveloping everyone.
In the end, Black Zetsu betrayed him and resurrected Kaguya.
But now, there was no need for the Infinite Tsukuyomi as Shinho had enough chakra in himself.
With a thought, he used his Green Grape Immortal Essence.
The dense immortal essence gushed out, transforming into a visible mist that enveloped Black Zetsu and White Zetsu.
"This... this..."
Seeing this, the Sage of Six Paths finally couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
He had already noticed that what Shinho used wasn't chakra.
But whether it was chakra or something else, it was a form of energy.
And under normal circumstances, how could a mere human possess such terrifying energy?
"Shinho has more chakra than me and Kurama combined," Naruto said, stunned, a look of realization on his face. "No wonder I can't beat him."
"..." Sasuke subconsciously clenched his fists.
Ever since he received the Sage of Six Paths' Yin power, his chakra had not been much inferior to Naruto's.
But he didn't expect that there still were people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens.
Shinho was even stronger, a true monster.
However, he didn't lose confidence.
It didn't matter if his chakra couldn't compare; the key was ninjutsu.
Especially the dōjutsu he obtained after awakening the Rinnegan.
Sasuke felt he could still put up a fight.
Shinho raised an eyebrow slightly.
He vaguely sensed a strong emotion coming from Black Zetsu and White Zetsu, as if they were saying, "More, give me more."
This was an instinctive craving for power.
Shinho pondered.
This might be Kaguya's will whispering.
Even though she had been sealed, the connection with her body still existed.
Ignoring it, Shinho continued to infuse immortal essence.
After an unknown amount of time, Black Zetsu and White Zetsu's body began to change.
Like an inflating balloon, their skin expanded outwards.
Chakra condensed into several streams of air, swirling around them.
Soon, their hair grew wildly, forming bundles of white hair ten meters long.
It looked somewhat similar to rabbit fur.
In the original story, Kaguya could transform into a tailed beast, becoming a giant rabbit.
Shinho's mind wandered as he took two steps back.
He sensed that there was enough chakra for the process.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.
His connection with Black Zetsu and White Zetsu was simultaneously lost.
So, the Beast Enslavement Gu's effect was broken?
Just then, the raging chakra abruptly stopped, and Black Zetsu and White Zetsu's swollen bodies began to shrink.
When they returned to their normal size, they had transformed into Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
She had pale skin unlike humans, two horns amidst her long bluish-white hair.
She wore white clothes with black tomoe patterns, her eyes were Byakugan, but there was a Rinne Sharingan on her forehead.
Kaguya seemed a bit dazed.
She first glanced at Shinho, then looked around.
It wasn't until she saw the Sage of Six Paths in the distance that her face finally showed some expression.
"Hagoromo!"
Kaguya's voice was bone-chillingly cold.
"..."
Hagoromo couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression.
This should have been a heartwarming moment of mother and son reunion, they were enemies.
However, he didn't regret it.
The Ōtsutsuki clan gained power by planting the God Tree and harvesting its fruit.
Long ago, Kaguya and Isshiki came to the ninja world.
But she was of low status and was supposed to be sacrificed to the God Tree.
Unwilling, Kaguya fought Isshiki and sacrificed him to the God Tree instead.
By consuming the God Tree's fruit, she awakened the Rinne Sharingan and gained immense power.
But her actions had violated the rules of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
To resist the clansmen sent by the Ōtsutsuki clan later, she planned to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to create an army of White Zetsu.
Eventually, Hagoromo and Hamura stopped her and sealed her away.
"Very well."
Kaguya raised her hand.
The Byakugan trembled slightly, and a powerful pressure spread out.
Hagoromo's pupils constricted.
This was directed at him!
He felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
Swish Swish
In an instant, Sasuke and Naruto stood in front of him.
Kaguya looked at them expressionlessly, unmoved.
Just then, a mass of black substance emerged from her sleeve.
"Mother!" Black Zetsu spoke as soon as he appeared. "Kill Shinho first! He's the most dangerous one around!"
"Oh?"
Kaguya's momentum paused slightly.
Black Zetsu pointed at Shinho.
He was still filled with lingering fear.
White Zetsu, possessed by Kaguya, was already in a half-dead state, so the connection with the Beast Enslavement Gu was lost.
In the original story, Madara also died soon after Kaguya's possession.
Black Zetsu was a part of Kaguya's will.
After returning to her, his will surged, and he took the opportunity to break free from the Beast Enslavement Gu's control.
Despite this, he still remembered that terrifying experience.
It was the darkest time since his birth.
Kaguya's gaze fell on Shinho.
She had noticed him before, but her attention was quickly drawn to Hagoromo.
After all, in her opinion, there were no ninjas in the world who posed a threat to her.
Only Hagoromo, who could be considered from the Ōtsutsuki clan, could possibly defeat or seal her.
But now Black Zetsu was telling her that Shinho was more dangerous.
This was completely unexpected.
However, Black Zetsu was created by her; there was no reason for him to deceive her.
Kaguya looked him over and immediately felt a faint sense of familiarity.
It was that special energy!
It was because of this energy that she had sufficient chakra at the moment.
She had previously thought it was Black Zetsu's doing, but now it seemed that things were more complicated than she had imagined.
"What's going on?" Kaguya frowned slightly and asked, "Who is he?"
She could tell at a glance that Sasuke and Naruto were of her bloodline, or more accurately, Hagoromo's.
But she couldn't see through Shinho.
And that special energy was neither chakra nor natural energy.
"Let's skip the unnecessary explanations," Shinho shook his head, interrupting Black Zetsu.
There was no need for him to tell the story.
His purpose in releasing Kaguya was very simple: beat her up, trigger the achievement, and eliminate the threat.
"Arrogant fool."
Kaguya no longer held back, her momentum surging again.
"He's stronger than Hagoromo, don't underestimate him," Black Zetsu quickly reminded. "To avoid being surrounded, separate them."
Amenominaka!
Kaguya didn't doubt him, her Rinne Sharingan releasing a massive amount of ocular power.
The surrounding space distorted, faintly connecting to six different dimensions.
This was the ability of the Rinne Sharingan.
It could pull enemies into five dimensions: lava, ice, ultra-gravity, sand, and acid.
And in the sixth dimension, the core dimension, Kaguya's power, speed, and other abilities would be greatly enhanced.
Universe-Suppressing Gu!
Feeling the increasing pulling force, Shinho calmly used his Immortal Gu.
When he first obtained Universe-Suppressing Gu, his first thought was to use it against Kaguya.
Without her spatial abilities, her strength would undoubtedly decrease significantly.
Invisible waves spread outwards, and the chaotic space came to a standstill.
"How is this possible?"
Kaguya's expression was shocked, revealing her confusion.
The Rinne Sharingan was a Kekkei Mōra!
A thousand years ago, neither Hagoromo nor Hamura could resist its power.
Why could this man ignore its powers?
"Mother, be careful!" Black Zetsu hurriedly shouted.
Kaguya subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
A river of light appeared out of nowhere in the sky, and upon forming, it descended towards her like a giant dragon breaking through the atmosphere.
Wherever it passed, light distorted, emitting a terrifying aura.
This was the Rank Five killing move, Heavenly Cascade of Light.
Kaguya raised her hands.
Two bones flew out from her palms.
Compared to the Heavenly Cascade of Light, they seemed unremarkable.
But upon touching the river of light, it instantly disintegrated the river of light.
The two bones, with their momentum unabated, hit Shinho.
All-Killing Ash Bones.
In the original story, Kaguya had shattered a Perfect Susanoo with this single attack.
Iron Wall Gu!
Shinho wanted to test this particular Gu's power.
He waved his hand, and an invisible defensive shield appeared in front of him.
Two cracking sounds were heard, and the two bones embedded themselves in the defensive shield.
Kaguya couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression.
There was no need for Black Zetsu to say anything more, Shinho consecutively blocking Amenominaka and All-Killing Ash Bones was enough to arouse her vigilance.
This human's strength was indeed stronger than Hagoromo and Hamura's.
Kaguya's heart stirred, and more chakra surged out.
One bone suddenly vibrated and exploded.
The remaining bone shot through the crack in the defensive shield towards Shinho.
Six Arms Heavenly Zombie King!
Sensing a hint of danger, Shinho finally got serious.
His body enlarged proportionally.
Before the bone arrived, he flew directly into the air.
"What is this?"
Kaguya grew even more puzzled.
How could such a powerful person appear in the ninja world?
"I don't know, but Hagoromo lost to him in this form," Black Zetsu quickly replied. "In this form, Shinho possesses terrifying strength and powerful close-combat abilities."
"Is that so?"
Kaguya clenched her fists, a large amount of chakra gathering.
Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!
Countless fists surged around her, overwhelming like a torrential downpour, spreading and intertwining, attacking Shinho.
The entire space trembled.
Flying Bear Strength Gu!
All Out Effort Gu!
Shinho stood in the sky, clenched a fist, and suddenly smashed it down.
Behind him, the phantom of a flying bear leaped up.
Immense power, like a tsunami, set off a turbulent energy storm.
A piercing sound rang out, and the two massive fists collided, instantly creating a world-obscuring shockwave.
Kaguya subconsciously took half a step back.
What tremendous power!
She immediately felt that Shinho was even more troublesome than Hagoromo and Hamura.
