"Obito, I never break my word. From today, you will be the most important piece in my plan."
Shun's voice echoed in the underground cave, filled with the calm assurance of being in control. But when it reached Obito's ears, it felt like a giant boulder, crushing him and making him breathless.
At this moment, Obito sat slumped on the stone bed, his dual Mangekyo still glowing, but without its usual sharpness and madness.
Black Zetsu, standing by, was somewhat excited, seemingly anticipating the upcoming performance.
It asked, "Father, Nagato is going to attack the Land of Grass, and Obito is going to monitor him. What about me? What are your arrangements for me?"
Shun's gaze was loving as he said, "Black Zetsu, you are Kaguya's child. Do you have any of her blood, hair, or any remaining flesh and tissue?"
"Father, what do you want with mother's things?"
Black Zetsu was stunned, it's dark body swaying slightly, as if searching for treasures hidden for a thousand years. A moment later, from it's ethereal body, it carefully pulled out a long white hair, faintly shimmering with silver light.
The strand of hair was delicate yet resilient, with a subtle, almost imperceptible Chakra fluctuation of the Ōtsutsuki clan lingering on its surface, making it impossible to ignore.
Shun asked, "Your mother only gave you a soul. I, your father, am preparing a real body for you. Black Zetsu, do you want to be a boy or a girl?"
Black Zetsu only pondered for a moment before immediately replying, "Father, I want to be a girl."
Having wandered the Ninja World for a thousand years, it had witnessed countless battles and betrayals. It's two elder brothers had once betrayed and sealed their mother. It wanted to be a girl. That way, it could always stay by its mother's side and protect her.
Shun smiled slightly. He took the white hair, and gently placed it in his palm. His golden Six Tomoe Rinnegan suddenly lit up, and the Six Paths Creation Power surged out like a tide.
A golden light instantly enveloped the silver hair, which gradually melted in the light, eventually turning into a drop of silver-white liquid.
Immediately after, he gently raised his right hand. A drop of red blood emerged from his fingertip, slowly merging into the silver-white droplet.
The two powers instantly fused and transformed within the droplet. The droplet expanded at a visible rate, growing to the size of a fingertip, then a fist, and then gradually outlining a human form in the light.
The infant's torso gradually took shape, and even the patterns of its white clothes clearly emerged in the light.
In just a moment, the droplet transformed into the appearance of a baby girl.
The baby girl's eyes were closed, her small nose twitched slightly, and her chest gently rose and fell with her breathing.
Following this, the baby girl's body grew at an astonishing speed.
1 year old... 3 years old...
Finally, it settled at the appearance of an 8-year-old girl.
The light membrane slowly dissipated, and a small girl wearing a white robe stood in place, approximately 1.36 meters tall. She had short white hair, resembling Kaguya, and the pupils of both her eyes were white.
"This... this is my body?"
Black Zetsu's soul trembled as it merged into the girl's body. She had lived for a thousand years and finally had her own body.
Shun watched Black Zetsu's soul slowly merge into the girl's body and said, "From today, this body is yours. As your father, I will give you a new name."
The girl's eyes slowly opened. Black Zetsu's consciousness flashed in her white pupils, and her tender gaze held the complexity of a thousand years of accumulated experience, yet she couldn't hide the joy of new life.
"You are the child of Kaguya and me, so you will no longer be called Black Zetsu. From today, you shall be called Uchiha Zetsu."
Shun's fingertip gently touched the girl's brow, and a surge of Chakra flowed in.
"Within this body, there is both Kaguya's Byakugan and the power of the Uchiha's Sharingan. You can freely switch between the two Dojutsu, no longer limited by bloodline, and in the future, you will also be able to possess the Rinnegan."
"Uchiha Zetsu... is that my new name?" The girl murmured her new name, a bright light bursting forth in her eyes.
She tried to focus her Chakra, and veins bulged around her left eye, which turned bluish-white. This was the Byakugan of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Then, she switched her Chakra, and her right eye suddenly glowed crimson, as a three-tomoe Sharingan slowly rotated in her pupil, carrying the insight and copying ability of the Sharingan.
"It really works! I can use both Byakugan and Sharingan simultaneously!" Uchiha Zetsu jumped up excitedly, her white robe tracing a graceful arc in the air.
She stretched her limbs, feeling the power surging within her body, her face filled with a long-lost smile.
"Thank you, father, you are the best person to me besides mother." She rushed to Shun's side, stood on her tiptoes, and hugged his arm, her voice full of gratitude.
"I will definitely monitor Nagato well from now on. If he even thinks of anything crooked, I will tell father, and I will never disappoint father."
Shun gently patted her shoulder, his gaze turning to Obito on the stone bed.
"Zetsu, then I'll rely on you from now on."
Obito's Mangekyo continued to spin, seemingly getting familiar with the power of Susanoo. His once numb body gradually regained vitality, and even his eyes became sharper.
Shun's voice seemed to possess an undeniable power. "Obito, Nagato will soon conquer the Land of Grass. Your true mission is to monitor and cooperate with him. If he tries to start a war prematurely, privately control a Tailed Beast, or even betray me, you must report it immediately. If necessary, you can use Kamui to stop him."
Obito was silent for a moment, the Kamui fluctuations in his left eye gradually stabilizing.
Perhaps Shun's "Unifying the Ninja World" plan could truly bring peace to the Ninja World. By then, he would find a way to revive Rin and let her live in a world without war.
Obito put on his yellow spiral mask and said, "I will do as you say, but you must remember your promise not to harm Rin's soul."
Shun's figure began to become transparent as he said, "You two prepare yourselves. Zetsu, you will stay by Obito's side, partly to familiarize yourself with your new body's Dojutsu, and partly to help me keep an eye on Obito, to prevent his personal emotions from affecting the plan. For subsequent actions, I will contact them through you."
Obito slowly stood up and stretched his muscles and bones.
The power of dual Kamui flowed smoothly within him, allowing him to feel the taste of "strength" again.
He placed his hand on Zetsu's shoulder and said, "Let's go, we'll go see Nagato. I hope this plan can truly end the wars in the Ninja World. I hope Rin can wait for that day of peace."
A black vortex appeared, and the two instantly disappeared from the underground cave.
