Chapter 633: Truth behind Kaguya’s Actions
???
Doubts appear in Izuna's mind after hearing Black Zetsu's words.
'Kaguya had a stillborn. Then why don't those old fellows know about their dead sibling? Did Kaguya hid it from them?' Izuna ponders.
'Perhaps this might be the result of my interference. A flap of butterfly's wings!'
He quickly turns his attention to Black Zetsu.
"Stillborn?! You call that stillborn?"
Izuna glances at the rampaging Ibaraki, who is demolishing his clones with ease.
Zetsu's lips curl into a smile as he continues.
"That's why he is my perfect masterpiece! Ibaraki was Kaguya's first child- a fusion of Otsutsuki and the filthy human bloodline. However, the power of the Otsutsuki bloodline was too great for lowlife blood to handle. So, Ibaraki was born abnormal. He inherited Otsutsuki's powerful physique, but his blood was still human. As a result, at the time of his conceiving, his blood dried, and he was born as a stillborn."
A cruel smile appears on Zetsu's face.
"How can the puny humans handle the bloodline of GODS? So, a heartbroken Kaguya buried his body with her own hands."
"Oh! Then how come Hagoromo and Hamura were born?" Izuna had some speculations in his mind but he still asked him.
The current situation is no longer in his control. So, he might as well deduce all the information he can to reduce any further variables.
"Hagoromo and Hamura are different from Ibaraki. Ibaraki was born without chakra, However, Hagoromo and Hamura possess chakra, a power that balances the physical and spiritual aspects of the body. When the twins were in Kaguya's womb, she shared a portion of her power with them in hopes of conceiving them successfully. Thus, the twins were born with her powers."
Zetsu reveals the secret of the past.
"However, those two brats, Hagoromo and Hamura, were too ambitious. They wanted to elevate the status of humans around them, since their physique was different from normal humans. They studied their own bodies and found a solution to pass their chakra to the rest of the humans."
"Chakra pathways!" Izuna raises an eyebrow.
"Yes! They subverted the problem of a human's inability to bear chakra by creating a new organ in the human body—the Chakra pathways. Chakra pathways allowed humans to carry chakra and use its immense power. However, no matter how splendid the method, humans have an inherent restriction on them- their bloodline. So, no matter how hard they try, they can never break free from the shackles of their low talent and reach a higher ceiling."
At this moment, he curiously glances at Izuna.
"Now I really wonder, how did you manage to break past that shackle and gain powers greater than even Kaguya?"
"Well, it's a long story full of hardships and bloodshed!" Izuna sighs and shakes his head.
Black Zetsu didn't comment and waited for Madara to finish his transformation.
Even Izuna is helpless at this point. Madara's transformation is unstoppable and at this point, even he can't destroy the latter's body. However, he still has a few questions of his own.
"You said you are the will of the Shinju?" He glances at Zetsu with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, I am the will of the Shinju or to be specific a portion of the Shinju's will!"
"Haha... You are right! It's exactly because of this. This small, barren world hides Shibai Otsutsuki's body."
He turns to Ibaraki and mutters.
"How do you think I resurrected a dead body and turned it into such a powerful puppet?"
"I see! No wonder!" It finally dawns on Izuna.
"One drop! It just took one drop of Shibai Otsutsuki's blood to turn him into his current form." Black Zetsu continues.
"One drop of Shibai Otsutsuki's blood contained enough vitality to not only resurrect him but also grant him his current strength. Other than the immense vitality, it also possesses a strange power, unique to Shibai."
"It's that strange blood aura!" Izuna's eyes narrow.
The blood aura around Ibaraki has strange power. It can negate most energy-based attacks and is highly resistant to physical trauma. It even strengthens Ibaraki's power and defense. This blood aura was part of the reason Ibaraki could withstand a planet-destroying attack with ease.
'Just how powerful is Shibai Otsutsuki?' Izuna's impression of Shibai changes. His resolve to snatch Shibai's body increases.
'I understand now!'
The pieces of the puzzle finally piece together.
'I always wondered why Isshiki, who has long recovered his power; didn't make a move to snatch the chakra. It's not that he didn't want to, but he was afraid of black Zetsu. Once black Zetsu was out of the picture, Isshiki made his move.'
Izuna sighs as he recalls a Chinese proverb from his past life, a cliché in every Chinese novel he reads.
'A mantis stalking a cicada is unaware of an oriole behind.'
'Black Zetsu has long located Shibai Otsutsuki's body. But for one reason or another, he was unable to communicate with its main body.'
Izuna affiliated it with the sealing of the Gedō statue on the moon.
'So, all these years; Zetsu carefully laid out his plan. However, Isshiki was even more meticulous. All these years, he paid close attention to Black Zetsu's every movement in the dark. None of Black Zetsu's schemes were hidden from him.
Perhaps after the resealing of Black Zetsu and Kaguya; Isshiki dug Shibai Otsutsuki's body from Black Zetsu's lair and then made preparations.
So, Isshiki's promise to resurrect Amado's daughter if she dies wasn't a lie. He planned to use Shibai's blood to resurrect her and make her a vessel of the latter's power. The body will be that of Amado's daughter, but the mind would be Isshiki's puppet.'
A shiver runs down Izuna's spine.
'And here I thought, all these Otsutsuki were barbaric parasites but to think such deep water runs through their clan. Perhaps the people I just fought before were an exception.'
