If anything were to happen to him, his mother would be forever trapped on the dark, sunless moon.
"That damned sealing technique..."
Black Zetsu used all his strength, but he was still unable to break free from the Vajra Vajra Chains.
Fate did not favor him; as the Vajra Seal gradually tightened, he was mercilessly dragged out of the ground.
Once detached from the soil, his ability to instantly burrow underground becomes useless, leaving him like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.
"It's over..."
Despair was written all over Black Zetsu's face.
Just then, a crisp cracking sound rang out, and Black Zetsu suddenly looked up.
The diamond chains that had been tightly binding him began to break off one by one, and with a gentle breeze, the chains gradually disappeared!
After all, it's a one-time use item and can't last long.
Freed from the restraints of the glittering golden chains, Black Zetsu plummeted straight to the ground.
"What?!" Madara was slightly surprised. A mistake had occurred at the crucial moment?
Clutching the now-ineffective scroll, he could only watch helplessly as Black Zetsu drew ever closer to the ground.
Perhaps this is fate...
"!"
Black Zetsu was overjoyed!
It seems even Heaven doesn't want to see him meet his end!
As the ground drew ever closer, he knew that the moment he touched it, he would vanish again, and no matter how fiercely Madara Uchiha struggled, he would be unable to catch him.
However, at that moment, a steady and powerful voice came to my ears.
"Immortal Method Mingshen Gate!"
Before Black Zetsu could react, several enormous torii gates descended from the sky, obscuring the heavens and earth!
Boom boom boom!
The torii gates grew larger and larger, pressing down on Black Zetsu in an instant, sealing away all his power!
This is the power of immortal techniques; even the Yin-Yang Escape technique pales in comparison.
The footsteps approached from afar. Black Zetsu weakly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. Who else could it be but Senju Hashirama?
In the entire ninja world, no one else besides him has mastered such a technique.
Black Zetsu's mind was as calm as still water; he had completely given up resisting.
boom!
A figure fell from the sky, crashing into a deep crater.
It was Uchiha Madara.
"Well done, Hashirama."
Ban stepped forward and burst into a hearty laugh.
"After many twists and turns, we finally got our hands on Black Zetsu. He's really cunning; no wonder he's been able to roam the ninja world freely for thousands of years."
"?!"
Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu looked at Madara in disbelief.
How could the other party know his name? And even know that he has lived for thousands of years?!
Chapter 88 Black Zetsu: My dear nephew!
Black Zetsu was filled with suspicion. Where did this information come from?
If he weren't so suppressed that he didn't even have the strength to speak, he would definitely have asked for an explanation.
Madara took a few steps closer, standing before Black Zetsu: "Let me eliminate this threat."
He raised his hand, preparing to brand the Four Symbols Seal on Black Zetsu's body, ensuring he would never see the light of day again.
However, Hashirama suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
"Spot, wait a moment."
Ban paused, and though he didn't speak, his eyes were full of doubt.
"Spare his life," Hashirama said, looking at Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu was equally shocked; Hashirama Senju was actually going to save him?
Madara frowned. "Hashirama, why is that?"
Wouldn't it be easier to just eliminate the threat of Black Zetsu?
Before Madara could sort out his thoughts, Hashirama said something surprising.
"Only Black Zetsu can revive Kaguya Otsutsuki. If he disappears, Kaguya will have no chance of being reborn."
"I want Kaguya to reappear in the world."
Hashirama's words greatly surprised both Madara and Black Zetsu.
Black Zetsu was shocked and even more incredulous. He had no time to think about how the other party knew about Kaguya's existence. What surprised him now was that the other party actually wanted to help him rescue his mother?!
What a kind person, Hashirama Senju!
What a good nephew! If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered myself; I would have gone to you long ago.
Looking at Hashirama's serious expression, which clearly indicated he wasn't joking, Madara couldn't help but ask, "Hashirama, are you serious about that?"
"Why can't I understand what you are saying?"
"You want to release Kaguya? And then let her use Infinite Tsukuyomi to absorb everyone's chakra, eventually turning us all into White Zetsu?"
Madara looked Hashirama up and down, then said sarcastically, "If you really feel like you're tired of living, I might be able to lend you a hand."
Having said that, Madara slowly drew a sharp kunai from his sleeve.
Black Zetsu's face instantly darkened, his eyes widening as he glared angrily at Madara.
Madara Uchiha is preventing me from saving my mother.
Madara Uchiha, evil!
Hashirama Senju helped me save my mother.
Hashirama Senju, excellent!
Hashirama glanced at the kunai in Madara's hand, easily picked it up with two fingers, and casually tossed it aside:
"This little thing can't kill me."
Ban was speechless for a moment.
"So, all that talk about you trying to commit suicide with a kunai back then was just a joke?"
Hashirama coughed a few times and changed the subject.
He said seriously, "Ban, I do have my reasons for doing this."
"Do you think that eliminating Black Zetsu and ensuring Kaguya's eternal reign will solve everything?"
"Otherwise what?" Madara asked doubtfully.
"It's not that simple. Kaguya isn't the only one from the Otsutsuki clan. In the near future, other Otsutsuki will descend upon this ninja world."
"That would be another disaster! We must unite all forces that can be united to jointly confront the external enemy."
"Kaguya's power cannot be wasted; every additional ally increases our chances of victory."
Madara and Black Zetsu listened to this secret as if they were hearing a bizarre story.
Suddenly, Madara raised a question: "No, Hashirama."
"Why would Kaguya, a member of the Otsutsuki clan, join forces with us to fight against her own kind? What if she turns against us?"
Hashirama waved his hand: "No, Kaguya violated a major taboo by attacking a higher-ranking Otsutsuki member."
"Within their clan, there is a strict hierarchy, and now everyone within the Otsutsuki clan wants her dead."
Within the Ōtsutsuki clan, lower-ranking members must unconditionally obey their superiors, even at the cost of their lives.
Like Momoshiki and Kinshiki, Kaguya committed insubordination. If she isn't severely punished and made an example of, what if other Otsutsuki follow suit? Her death sentence was already sealed.
"Besides, Kaguya's blood flows in our veins, I have the chakra of Ashura's continuous reincarnations, and you are Indra."
"We are Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the offspring of the Sage of Six Paths. In a sense, we are related."
After hearing Hashirama's explanation, Madara fell into deep thought.
He didn't understand how Hashirama knew such highly classified information, but judging from Black Zetsu's surprised expression, he knew that this dark figure was also unaware of the inside story.
But Hashirama knew everything perfectly well, ever since that time at the Naka Shrine when he read Hashirama's memories of knowing the future.
