Black Zetsu, controlling Obito's body, was desperately fleeing towards the Land of Iron, but the golden Chakra fluctuations behind him followed like a shadow.
Shun, holding Ken, unfurled three pairs of platinum-gold wings and followed unhurriedly, his eyes filled with the composure of someone in complete control.
As the border of the Land of Iron drew closer, a glimmer of hope ignited in Black Zetsu's heart, but then Shun's voice sounded from behind, like a bucket of cold water dousing his fleeting optimism.
Shun's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable threat. "If you still want to use Kamui to escape, then I don't mind digging out his Mangekyo right now."
Obito's body, controlled by Black Zetsu, stiffened abruptly, and his steps instantly halted.
He turned to look at Shun, his voice filled with suppressed rage. "Shun, what exactly do you want?!"
Shun didn't answer directly. Instead, he slowly descended to the ground with Ken in his arms, and his Seraph Mode gradually deactivated.
He walked up to the controlled Obito, his tone calm but every word piercing. "You've been lurking around Madara and Nagato for so long, you should know that the Rinnegan has the ability to view soul memories, right? Hagoromo's soul has always been hidden in the Pure Land, so everything you've done over these past thousand years, including your plot to revive Kaguya, he's seen it all."
Black Zetsu's voice was clearly flustered, and a strong sense of unease surged within him. "I don't know what you're talking about."
If Hagoromo had truly been observing him in secret, wouldn't his plan have been exposed long ago?
This thought sent a chill down his spine, and the strength with which he controlled Obito's body weakened by a few points.
Shun smiled confidently and calmly, his eyes sharpening. "You do understand, you just dare not admit it. I know you want to revive Kaguya, but Hagoromo and Hamura will never allow it. So from the very beginning, your plan was destined to fail, unless, someone can help you change your fate."
Black Zetsu's body stiffened, his tone becoming extremely grave. "Who exactly are you? How do you know so much?"
The Shun before him was not only unfathomably powerful but also aware of his thousand-year-old secret. He even knew about Hagoromo, which was definitely not something an ordinary Uchiha could know.
Shun began to brag, his tone tinged with a hint of showmanship. "My Eternal Mangekyo's dojutsu is related to time. I saw the future. According to the original trajectory, you would use Madara to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, then revive Kaguya. But your actions would be too grand, causing Hagoromo to descend to the Ninja World and personally intervene. In the end, you and Kaguya would both be sealed by the Six Paths Chibaku Tensei, never to rise again."
Black Zetsu's consciousness vibrated violently, his voice trembling slightly. "Why are you telling me this? What do you want from me?"
Hearing this, Shun suddenly laughed and said in a domineering tone, "Because in the future I saw, I beheld Kaguya's peerless beauty. Such a beauty is only fit to be my queen. Black Zetsu, from now on, you are no longer alone, because I am your future father."
At these words, even Black Zetsu, who had lived for over a thousand years and seen all the absurdities of the Ninja World, was stunned.
Controlling Obito's body, he stood rigidly in place, momentarily unsure how to respond.
The person in front of him wanted to marry his mother, and even become his father, this was an unprecedented level of arrogance.
But then he thought, Shun's strength far exceeded his imagination.
If he could get his help, the chances of reviving his mother would undoubtedly increase greatly, and he might even be able to counter Hagoromo's threat.
Weighing the pros and cons, Black Zetsu suppressed the strangeness in his heart, his tone showing a hint of compromise. "If you can truly help me save my mother, I can cooperate with you."
Shun raised an eyebrow, his tone playful. "Black Zetsu, call me dad, and I'll tell you another secret about the future, helping you avoid a big problem."
Obito's body stiffened for a moment, but eventually, under Black Zetsu's control, he squeezed out. "Dad."
His voice was stiff, but for the sake of reviving his mother, he could endure this humiliation.
Shun smiled contentedly. He reached out and patted Obito's shoulder, his tone relaxed. "Good boy. According to the original history, in order to revive Kaguya, you deceived Madara into creating the Infinite Tsukuyomi. The commotion was too great, which is why you finally attracted Hagoromo's attention. Actually, he has been hiding in the Pure Land for over a thousand years, secretly absorbing Chakra and learning countless secret techniques. His strength is unfathomable."
Black Zetsu's consciousness sank again. He had always thought that Hagoromo had long since dissipated. He had never expected that he had been secretly accumulating strength all this time. This was undoubtedly the biggest hidden danger in his plan.
His tone was urgent. "Then how can I safely revive my mother?"
Shun reminded him, "Good son, before speaking to me, you must call me dad. Don't forget that. To revive Kaguya, the first step is to be low-key. You can't be as high-profile as before. Methods with big commotions like the Infinite Tsukuyomi absolutely cannot be used. Secondly, I will train a group of strong individuals in the Ninja World. Because after your mother is revived, our enemies will not just be Hagoromo."
He paused, his eyes becoming serious. "The souls of Hagoromo and Hamura have always been hidden in the Pure Land and there's also Isshiki, who is still alive and hidden somewhere in the Ninja World. In a dozen years, Kinshiki, Momoshiki, and Urashiki will also descend to the Ninja World, and they are all coming for Kaguya's Chakra."
"Dad, what should we do?"
Black Zetsu was flustered. He hadn't expected to face so many powerful enemies after reviving his mother.
Shun's tone was full of confidence. "Don't panic, I'm here. I've specially trained some strong individuals, such as Minato, Orochimaru, Hiashi, Hizashi, and also my children, who have good talent. I will make them the force to oppose the Ōtsutsuki. By then, the entire Ninja World, and even the entire Ōtsutsuki clan, will bow at my feet."
He looked down at the sleeping Ken in his arms, then at Obito, who was controlled by Black Zetsu.
His eyes gleamed with ambition as he said, "Black Zetsu, as my future son, you will become the link between me and Kaguya. How about it, isn't this future much better than your original plan?"
Black Zetsu was silent.
Shun's plan, though absurd, was full of temptation. It could not only revive his mother but also free him from the fate of being sealed, and even eliminate the hidden danger of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Controlling Obito's body, he slowly nodded. "I agree, dad. I will help you, and together we will revive mother and fight those enemies."
