Chapter 542 Black Zetsu's Big Reveal, Otsutsuki - First Style
"That...that's Kaguya's palace? It's so...so magnificent..."
As the wind and snow swirled, Obito, panting heavily, gazed at the towering, ancient buildings perched atop the cliff, overwhelmed with a mixture of surprise and delight.
Although Kakashi and Rin didn't say anything, they couldn't hide the joy in their eyes.
They've been searching for three whole days in this awful weather, and they finally found it, even with the advantage of Red Eyes' keen observation...
If they can't find it, the rations they have on them will probably run out quickly, and they'll starve or freeze to death.
"Hmph, that's Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Goddess of the Rabbit! Of course her palace has to be magnificent and grand! Let's go, there should be food inside to help you survive this crisis." Black Zetsu immediately came out and shouted proudly, feeling like he was invincible again.
Although his knowledge of this place was limited, it did not prevent him from demonstrating Kaguya's power!
Only in this way can the Fourth Hokage and the others possibly revive Kaguya under that guy's threat.
Yes, that's right. Now that the Fourth Hokage is going to be confronted, he'll use this opportunity to change the plan to revive Kaguya!
"What did you say? There's food inside??" Obito didn't care what Black Zetsu was thinking. Upon hearing this, his eyes immediately lit up and his mouth was practically watering.
Heaven knows how much physical and mental torment he endured for three days without food, suffering from hunger, cold, and aimless searching for the palace.
Not only him, but also the Fourth Hokage Kakashi and Rin felt the same way!
But this doesn't mean they were spoiled. What's a little hardship for a ninja? What truly exhausted them, both physically and mentally, was what Konoha was doing.
It's been three days, and I still don't know what Konoha looks like now!
"Let's go in and take a look."
Taking a deep breath, the Fourth Hokage gave the order and led the charge into Kaguya's palace.
According to Black Zetsu, this place has been abandoned for a thousand years, so there's nothing to worry about.
"Look, that statue..."
Suddenly, as soon as they entered, Kakashi pointed sharply, and everyone looked up, their pupils contracting as they gasped in shock.
In the center of the spacious hall, a huge statue about 100 meters tall sat.
The woman in the statue has delicate features, but she has two horns on her head, pale pupils, dark eyes, and no eyebrows. She wears a jade belt around her waist and a robe with embroidered patterns, making her look solemn, sacred, and inviolable!
Most importantly, a previously unseen eye was carved on that smooth forehead: the Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe.
"That...that's Kaguya Otsutsuki!!"
Obito swallowed hard, staring blankly at the statue, his eyes wide with disbelief at the vertical eye on its forehead.
A nine-tomoe Sharingan?! Just who is this guy?!
The Fourth Hokage, Kakashi, and Rin Nohara were equally shocked, realizing from their appearance that the other party was no ordinary character.
"Well……"
Suddenly, Nohara Rin's pretty face turned pale, and the tailed beast chakra in her body began to surge uncontrollably.
"What's wrong, Rin?" Obito asked anxiously upon seeing this, his Mangekyou Sharingan flashing, ready to suppress the Three-Tails at any moment.
"No, I'm fine. Isobu is very resistant to this place and has quieted down!" Nohara Rin waved her hand, her left eye flashing with purple light, then her right eye, red, scanned all directions.
"There, in that room, there's a lot of food stored. This place is covered in ice and snow all year round, so even after a long time, the food hasn't spoiled." Pointing to a room, Nohara Rin exclaimed with delight.
As long as there is food, even if they cannot leave this place for a short time, their survival is at least guaranteed.
With that amount of food reserves, even if the four of them ate as much as they wanted, they wouldn't be able to finish it in ten years!
So now, the only thing they need to find is Kaguya's scroll.
"Kakashi and I will go cook something and have dinner. Rin, you and Minato-sensei go gather information." Upon hearing this, Obito immediately volunteered and pulled Kakashi towards the room.
Lin was searching for something with red eyes, and Minato-sensei was carrying Black Zetsu, so their presence was completely useless.
"Minato-sensei, come with me." Nohara Rin understood immediately, activated her red eyes to search carefully, and then ran towards the inner room of the main hall with a happy expression.
After easily finding the secret room chest with ease, Nohara Rin picked up the scroll inside and handed it to the Fourth Generation.
Without further ado, the fourth generation opened the scroll and what immediately came into view was a heavenly book!
Or rather, it's a script they don't recognize.
"Black Zetsu," the Fourth Hokage called out crisply, handing over temporary control of his body to Black Zetsu.
"This is the script of the Otsutsuki clan. Even the Sage of Six Paths only knows a part of it and is not proficient in it," Black Zetsu proudly introduced, immediately looking down and reading ten lines at a glance.
As Black Zetsu read the intelligence, his expression grew increasingly grave...
"What did it say? Is there a way to open a spatial passage with the Rinnegan?" Nohara Rin asked anxiously, as this was their last hope to return to the ninja world.
"Yes, there is, but it will take some time to translate it into ninja terminology that you understand." Amidst Rin and the Fourth Hokage's expectant and anxious hearts, Black Zetsu breathed a sigh of relief and spoke frankly.
There's no need to hide this. He needs the other party's help to get out. If he doesn't tell, does he want to live out his days alone here?
"That's great..." Nohara Rin jumped up and shouted, her suppressed emotions instantly released.
But before she could be happy for more than a few seconds, Black Zetsu changed the subject, "Now, we should talk about that guy named Cixian!"
"Ci Xian??" Lin and the fourth generation exclaimed at the same time, their expressions turning solemn as they thought of the other's terror and mystery.
"That guy, do you guys remember the technique where he suddenly unleashed chakra black rods?"
“Of course, that’s a terrifyingly unexpected killing move.” The Fourth Hokage immediately chimed in, and Nohara Rin nodded in agreement.
That technique is truly impossible to defend against in a real battle!
"That technique is actually a combination of two techniques," Black Zetsu said, his eyes flashing with a startling glint.
"Two techniques?" The Fourth Hokage and Rin exchanged a look of horror, while Black Zetsu nodded and raised the scroll in his hand. "The technique that can instantly summon black rods to attack is called: Daikokuten."
"Its function is to store items in a time-frozen alternate dimension, so that retrieving or storing them is just a matter of a thought from Jigen."
"And the attack that you feel you can't see or avoid is actually another technique: Sukuna Biguna." Even Black Zetsu was horrified when he said this.
"This technique can shrink anything and is activated through visual observation. So the attack you suffered was actually a coordinated surprise attack by Sumina Bikuna and Daikokuten. That kind of attack is really hard to defend against."
"I see..." The Fourth Hokage and Rin suddenly understood, then their eyes flashed with a meaningful light, "So, what is his true identity??"
Now that things have come to this, even Black Zetsu, who shares the same stance, doesn't mince words and speaks frankly: "He is very likely Kaguya's former teammate, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki!!"
