Reborn wind shadow: Attack the country of fire in the beginning

#197 - Chapter 197 Goodbye Black Zetsu

Future timeline.

Sunagakure.

The deaths of the two elders did indeed cause a significant ripple within Sunagakure, but under the control of the Anbu and with Chiyo and Ebizo taking action, it was successfully suppressed.

As for the excuse for executing these two elders, it was that they had collaborated with Orochimaru, a rogue ninja from Konoha, with the intention of assassinating the Kazekage.

Excuses are sometimes unimportant; in any case, those around them lacked the ability to verify the truth.

As Sunagakure gradually calmed down, the final news from Konoha arrived.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was confirmed to have died at the hands of his own student, Orochimaru.

Also one of the legendary Sannin, the Senju clan's princess, Tsunade Senju, became the Fifth Hokage of Konoha.

Immediately upon assuming office, Tsunade sent a letter to Sunagakure, demanding an explanation for the attack on Konoha during the Chunin Exams. However, after taking a glance, Rasa threw it aside and said to the visiting Konoha ninja.

"Go and tell your new Hokage that if she wants an explanation, she should personally bring Konoha ninjas to our Land of Wind!"

The meaning was self-evident!

There would be no explanation; all that was wanted was war!

After sending away the angry Konoha ninja, Maki asked with some doubt.

"Is this really okay, Lord Kazekage?"

Well, after spending the last few days together, Rasa also felt it.

This future timeline's Maki was more timid than the Maki from his own timeline, especially when facing Konoha.

However, it was not his fault; after all, the past of this future timeline did not have his presence.

"No need to worry; the current Konoha does not have the ability to launch a war against us!"

Although Maki hesitated, he still nodded.

"By the way, during this period, I will take Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara to a special place to train! If you want to see them, tell me, and I will bring them back."

"No... It is naturally best if Lord Kazekage can personally guide Temari and the others!"

"Well! I'll have to trouble you to take care of the village affairs for the time being!"

"Yes, sir!"

As Maki took his leave, Rasa sensed Black Zetsu's reappearance, and his figure transformed into sand, disappearing from the office.

Sunagakure, on a cliff not far from Ichiizoku (One-Line Strand Gorge).

Arriving here, Rasa asked Black Zetsu, who had reappeared with a wary expression.

"What? Have you thought about it?"

Black Zetsu's voice was hoarse.

"Let's talk about how we're going to cooperate first!"

Hearing this, Rasa already had a certain grasp of this cooperation, and he asked with interest.

"Have you found Jigen's, or rather, Isshiki's whereabouts?"

Black Zetsu did not speak, but from his solemn expression, one could discern a thing or two.

Seeing this, Rasa did not say any more nonsense.

"It's very simple; first of all, our common goal is to resist the upcoming Otsutsuki clan and Isshiki Otsutsuki, who is hiding in the dark. Therefore, power is essential, and in order to obtain power, or rather, revive Kaguya, the Tailed Beasts are indispensable. Then, we have the premise of our cooperation."

"You mean you're going to help me capture the Tailed Beasts? Not to mention whether I need it now, but the Jinchuriki of Shukaku is your son, isn't he?"

Black Zetsu said with a sinister tone.

"No... Of course, I won't help you capture the Tailed Beasts. You have the Akatsuki organization to use now, and capturing the Tailed Beasts is not difficult for you. As for the Shukaku inside Gaara, I won't hand it over to you either, but at the same time, I won't stop you. Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes."

Black Zetsu looked at Rasa, unable to fathom Rasa's true thoughts.

"What a cold-blooded father! Then what do you want to get from me?"

"Information on all the Tailed Beasts; I need the chakra of all the Tailed Beasts."

Black Zetsu's non-existent eyebrows furrowed.

Seeing this, Rasa explained.

"Don't worry, I only want half of the chakra of these Tailed Beasts. This is only a small part for these Tailed Beasts, and they will recover quickly. If you are worried, you can follow me and watch me capture them."

Black Zetsu fell into contemplation.

After a while, he asked.

"What do you need the Tailed Beasts' chakra for?"

"It seems I don't need to explain this question to you, do I?"

Black Zetsu did not resent being rejected, but instead looked at Rasa's right hand.

"Then, can you tell me why you have Mother's aura on you?"

"!"

Rasa was stunned, and then, sensing Black Zetsu's gaze, he looked at the [Karma] on his right hand, asking strangely.

"Are you talking about [Karma]? Don't ask me; in fact, I want to ask you instead. As Kaguya's will, you should understand better than me why Kaguya's [Karma] would appear on me?"

Black Zetsu's expression was solemn, and after thinking about it, he slowly said.

"That's also what I find strange. It shouldn't be the case, but if there must be an explanation, then this can only be the possibility."

"Hey..."

Rasa rolled his eyes and said.

"Don't you know that I hate riddles the most."

"Hmph!"

Black Zetsu snorted coldly before explaining.

"Mother did abandon [Karma], but this does not mean that Mother abandoned this ability of immortality, but instead injected her own [Karma] into the chakra of this world."

"Chakra! ?"

Rasa was also slightly surprised, seeming to understand something.

"No wonder Kaguya cannot be killed, only sealed!"

"That's right. After Mother injected [Karma] into the chakra of this world, Mother has become one with the chakra of this world. That is to say, any life in this world that uses chakra can become a tool for Mother's revival."

Rasa suddenly thought of something and said.

"Does this tool include Hagoromo!"

"Of course."

Black Zetsu seemed somewhat proud when he said this.

"Otherwise, why do you think Hagoromo is hiding in the Pure Land, afraid to easily appear in the ninja world? Because as soon as he appears, the chakra in his body will resonate with Mother, awakening Mother's sleeping will!"

Rasa frowned and asked.

"That doesn't seem right. Then why did Hagoromo create Ninshu and cultivate descendants after sealing Kaguya, only to die when he grew old?"

"Hehe, that's because the chakra in Hagoromo's body was not complete at that time. He only absorbed the chakra of the Ten-Tails, but without the body of the Ten-Tails. However, as he cultivated later, the chakra in his body became more and more abundant, and he also sensed Mother's consciousness in the chakra. That's why he separated the chakra of the Ten-Tails and distributed the chakra to everyone, creating Ninshu, because he knew that Mother, who was fused with the Ten-Tails, could not avoid being revived. Even if this world no longer has the Divine Tree, the power of the Ten-Tails, hidden in the chakra, will still continuously convert the natural energy of this world into chakra. Therefore, he cultivated his two sons, giving them his power, hoping that one day, he could use their hands to reseal Mother..."
