Inside Satoshi's inner space, Kaguya's mood was incredibly complex.
Because of her special connection with Hagoromo and Hamura, even after a thousand years, she could still vaguely sense their presence.
Just moments ago, she was alarmed to discover that Hagoromo and Hamura's descendants were still watching her.
How many years has it been? Over a thousand years.
Is she the only Ōtsutsuki in the Ninja World? Why are they still fixated on her?
Moreover...
At her peak, possessing Ten-Tails and Kekkei Mora, she was still sealed by her two sons working together in the moon's core.
Not to mention now, stripped of Ten-Tails, she could only watch helplessly as the Gedo Statue transformed into the God tree.
Kaguya conservatively estimated that she currently possessed at most thirty percent of her power, perhaps even less.
If they discovered her, wouldn't she be easily sealed again?
No, that's not right.
Kaguya suddenly felt that something was amiss. She had already been moved from the moon and re-sealed in this strange space.
Why?
Could it be that they discovered the secret of the Ōtsutsuki, and felt the moon was no longer safe?
Deep confusion appeared on Kaguya's pale face, and countless question marks swirled in her mind.
As for the young man before her, what was the meaning of his presence here? Was he a descendant of Hagoromo? Was he here just to monitor her?
Kaguya asked loudly, "Who are you? What did Hagoromo send you to do?"
Satoshi clarified, "Huh? I have no connection with this legendary figure."
Kaguya's doubts deepened. He had no relation to her son, so why did he possess such similar power?
Kaguya said, "The Ninja World shouldn't have such powerful people."
Satoshi thought for a moment and spoke a plain truth, "Well... if I'm being honest, I don't really belong to the Ninja World."
"What?" Kaguya was stunned.
Not belonging to the Ninja World, did that mean he also came from the Ōtsutsuki?
Was he imprisoning her here to await the ripening of the God tree?
And then devour her and the God tree together, turning them into nourishment for his power?
No, that's not right.
Ōtsutsuki were incredibly arrogant and ruthless. They would never use such a calm tone with their prey, nor would they explain anything.
This young man's attitude completely contradicted her understanding of her clan.
After a brief moment of distraction, Kaguya surprisingly regained her composure. She sat cross-legged, slowly closed her eyes, and said no more, locking all her emotions beneath that cold facade.
The young man before her was unfathomable, and his intentions were unclear.
Whether it was the moon or here, both were merely cages for her. It was just a change of sealing location. As long as she wasn't devoured by other Ōtsutsuki, then waiting for Black Zetsu was her only option.
As long as she held on, Black Zetsu would eventually unseal her and allow her to fully revive.
Seeing Kaguya stop speaking, Satoshi ignored her. He walked to the God tree and lightly poked it.
"When will the fruit on this be ripe enough to eat?"
"The Chakra Fruit is mine."
Kaguya's tightly closed eyes snapped open, and for the first time, intense possessiveness and anger clearly burned in her pure Byakugan.
"The God tree is mine, and the fruit is mine too."
"Oh."
Satoshi waved his hand. "Then I'll eat it when it's ripe. You keep an eye on it for me, don't let anyone steal a bite."
Veins throbbed on Kaguya's forehead. Why did she have to deal with such an annoying brat?
After she revived, he would be the first one she would kill.
Looking at the enraged Kaguya, Satoshi said nothing. He just raised a middle finger, then left the inner space.
At this moment, Black Zetsu, who had been impaled like a skewer, let out a hysterical roar.
"You naturally despicable Uchiha brat, you actually summoned my mother into your body!"
"You truly deserve to die!"
Satoshi blinked. "You know that? Impressive."
Black Zetsu glared at Satoshi, gritting his teeth. He was a lifeform created by Kaguya, and had a unique connection with her.
What was Kaguya's situation? Others might not know, but wouldn't her youngest son know?
Good news: Mother escaped the seal on the moon and returned to the Ninja World.
Bad news: Mother was re-sealed before she could even catch her breath.
Super-duper-explodingly bad news that couldn't get any worse: This naturally despicable white-haired brat of the Uchiha clan, Satoshi, had imprisoned mother in his inner space, just like a Jinchuriki.
This was simply unforgivable!
Damn it!
How noble was mother? How could she be treated like those lowly beasts?
Satoshi, you truly deserve to die!
"AHHHHHH!"
"Ah your head, you're so annoying." Satoshi stuck a rod into Black Zetsu's mouth.
"Mmm..."
Black Zetsu cursed a lot, but no one could understand him.
Satoshi picked his ears. Finally, it was quiet.
Black Zetsu closed his mouth, and began to think.
Eye of the Moon Plan – Version 6.0 – Emergency Protocol.
He understood his mother well. Kaguya possessed destructive power, but in terms of cunning and strategy, she wasn't very brilliant.
Otherwise, how could Hagoromo and Hamura have sealed her?
He needed to find a way to contact her as soon as possible. She needed his super intelligence.
Black Zetsu firmly believed that as long as Kaguya followed his guidance, there was still a chance for her to forcefully break out of Satoshi's body or take over.
However, a new problem had now arisen: how to establish contact with her.
He pondered for a long time and finally came up with a seemingly excellent idea!
Since Satoshi sealed mother within him, could he also find a way to get him to seal him within him?
Once successfully inside and reunited with mother...
With mother's power as the core and his will as the guide, wouldn't it be an easy rampage?
Black Zetsu realized he was a genius.
As for how to make Satoshi willingly seal him in, that was simply too easy.
Later, he would intentionally use the most vicious language to attack him, warning him not to seal him inside his body. Otherwise, he would use every insidious means to corrupt his consciousness, seize his body, and turn him into a puppet.
According to his understanding of Satoshi, the more Satoshi was told not to do something, the more he would definitely do it.
Hmm, what a great idea.
Black Zetsu was incredibly excited.
But deep down, he still held a hint of apprehension about Hagoromo.
But now, mother's aura had shifted, yet Hagoromo had not made any further moves. This indicated that he was likely just a residual consciousness, or perhaps being restrained by something.
As long as he and mother reunited within Satoshi's body, and their power returned, even if Hagoromo truly appeared, he might not be able to do anything to them.
Hehehe.
Black Zetsu suppressed its laughter, afraid of getting beaten.
As Black Zetsu was contemplating how to attack Satoshi to make him enraged and lose his intelligence like Obito, a sudden change occurred.
"Sensei, you..."
"Hokage-sama..."
Satoshi was full of question marks. "What's wrong?"
He subconsciously looked down at himself.
Before he finished speaking, a torrent of energy instantly swept through every cell of his body.
His neat white hair grew wildly, and nine pitch-black Truth-Seeking Orbs silently appeared behind him.
Ten-Tails Jinchuriki!
"It's a bit unfamiliar. Should I change back?"
[Ninja World Scientist, activate!]
"Right. The Truth-Seeking Orbs can be put away and brought out when fighting."
"Aren't these clothes a bit too flashy? Change them to the ones I usually wear?"
"The Six Paths Staff isn't very handy. Turn it into a sword, you say? What should I call it?"
Satoshi was playing a dress-up game here.
