Chapter 594: Black Zetsu Must Die

"Since you are both members of the Otsutsuki clan, the gap between you and Isshiki Otsutsuki shouldn’t be too great, right?" Nagasawa suddenly asked as he looked at Kaguya.

"That’s right. Although his status is higher than mine, his strength actually isn’t much greater than mine," Kaguya said calmly.

Kaguya felt that Isshiki wasn’t much stronger than her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to successfully stab him in the back.

"Then to what extent have you mastered the technology of the stars? Give me a rough description," Nagasawa continued to ask, his eyes lighting up.

Previously, he had not been in a hurry to kill Isshiki, instead waiting until the Chakra Technology Company made no new moves before taking action.

It was precisely because Nagasawa hoped Isshiki would continue helping the shinobi world develop its technology tree, contributing to the construction of chakra technology.

If Isshiki chose to continue developing chakra technology, perhaps Nagasawa would delay killing him for a few more years.

"What technology of the stars?" Kaguya looked at Nagasawa with some confusion.

Nagasawa: ...

A somewhat terrifying thought appeared in Nagasawa’s mind. Could Kaguya actually be an illiterate Otsutsuki who knew nothing except how to fight?

She clearly looked like an icy, aloof goddess who could do anything.

"I mean, can you build spaceships or something?" Nagasawa asked.

"If I knew how to do that, would I still need to stay here?" Kaguya looked at Nagasawa as if he were an idiot.

If she knew how to build spaceships, would she still need to stay on this planet and worry about guarding it? She would have left for another planet long ago.

Although the Otsutsuki were powerful and domineering, the starry sky was vast, and they might not necessarily be able to find her.

"Then what can you do?" Nagasawa still held onto a sliver of hope. Maybe she simply didn’t know how to build spaceships but was proficient in other areas.

After all, she was born into such an impressive clan, and Isshiki had displayed such versatility. Kaguya couldn’t possibly be that far behind, right?

"I can use All-Killing Ash Bones and Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack..." Kaguya said seriously.

Nagasawa: 6

Nagasawa was speechless. He really had encountered an illiterate Otsutsuki, someone who was useless at everything except fighting. After analyzing it more carefully, even her fighting ability wasn’t actually that great.

Nagasawa thought about it. Kaguya not understanding this aspect was also quite reasonable. If Kaguya understood these things, the shinobi world wouldn’t have developed for so long and still remained like this. It would have entered the interstellar age long ago.

An army of White Zetsu? Would that thing really be more useful than a star-destroying battleship?

Not far away, the expression on Hagoromo’s face also became somewhat unnatural.

His mother, whom he had trained desperately and given everything to defeat, was performing so poorly that the effort he had put in seemed almost like a joke.

With his idea of rapid technological development shattered, Nagasawa couldn’t help looking at Kaguya with some disdain.

She had consumed so many resources from the shinobi world and caused so much trouble, and this was all she could do?

Kaguya became somewhat unhappy when she saw the disdainful look in Nagasawa’s eyes. In the shinobi world, she had always been treated like a goddess.

However, considering Nagasawa’s strength, Kaguya sensibly put on a calm expression, raised her head, and looked at the sky, appreciating its beautiful scenery.

"Separate the Tailed Beasts from your body," Nagasawa said to Kaguya.

The juvenile version of the Ten-Tails inside Kaguya had also been formed by fusing the Tailed Beasts from the other ninja villages, so they had to be returned.

"This will reduce my strength." Kaguya was unwilling when she heard that the Tailed Beasts inside her body were going to be released.

This was an important source of her chakra. Without it, her strength would be greatly affected, and she might even fall directly back to the level of a Low-Level God.

"Besides, the Tailed Beasts were originally mine," Kaguya said.

The Ten-Tails was not originally a product of the shinobi world. She and Isshiki had brought it from the Otsutsuki clan.

"How are they yours? Shouldn’t they belong to Isshiki? Everything that belonged to Isshiki is my spoils of war." Nagasawa rubbed his fists, feeling that perhaps he had gone too easy on her just now.

"As for your strength, it’s not like you can get that strong anyway. Being a little weaker is fine."

Can you show some respect to me, the goddess? Kaguya really wanted to put on an enraged expression and argue back at Nagasawa, but after thinking about how miserable she had looked during the battle just now and the top-level god strength Nagasawa had displayed at the end, Kaguya expressionlessly nodded. "You’re right."

In front of a top-level god, it didn’t matter whether she was a Low-Level God or a Mid-Level God. She had no means of resisting either way.

Hagoromo sighed emotionally. He had never seen his mother being so easy to talk to.

If, back then, when he tried to persuade Kaguya not to continue harming people, she had been as easy to talk to as she was now, perhaps the three of them, mother and sons, would not have ended up in this situation.

Under Nagasawa’s persuasion with reason and emotion, Kaguya readily released the Tailed Beasts. The enormous Tailed Beasts appeared in the open space.

When the Tailed Beasts saw Hagoromo again after a thousand years, they were also filled with emotion.

Hagoromo also revealed a kind smile. To him, these Tailed Beasts were all adorable pets.

"I underestimated you. Since you can suppress Mother, I’m going to leave as well." Hagoromo looked at Nagasawa.

As a soul, Hagoromo had existed in the shinobi world for far too long, but someone like Nagasawa was someone he had never encountered before. Everything about Nagasawa was beyond his expectations. Fortunately, the final result was a good one.

"But I still have to remind you. You must be careful of Mother. It would be best if you destroyed Black Zetsu," Hagoromo gave his final warning.

Hagoromo now regarded Nagasawa as the successor who would protect the shinobi world.

Black Zetsu, who was hiding on Kaguya, was completely dumbfounded. What grudge, what hatred? If you want to leave, then just leave. Why specifically remind Nagasawa to be careful of Mother? And why specifically tell Nagasawa to destroy me? Didn’t you just make your descendants kill each other for more than a thousand years?

Nagasawa nodded and said, "Kaguya, hand Black Zetsu over. I can’t let him continue living."

As everyone knows, when transmigrating into Naruto, you can leave other things undone, but Black Zetsu and Danzo must be dealt with ruthlessly.

Nagasawa had never intended to let Black Zetsu go from the very beginning. He had merely treated Black Zetsu as a tool for resurrecting Kaguya.

Simply put, Black Zetsu had originally been the backup plan for resurrecting her.

Now that she had already been resurrected, Black Zetsu’s mission was complete, and his existence no longer had any meaning.

Naturally, Kaguya wasn’t going to fight a battle she was certain to lose against Nagasawa for Black Zetsu.

Under Kaguya’s control, Black Zetsu was flung out, turning into a puddle of black sludge that appeared in front of Nagasawa.

Nagasawa didn’t waste too many words on Black Zetsu either. He directly summoned Ryujin Jakka and swung a flaming sword wave toward Black Zetsu.

Black Zetsu watched everything unfold without dodging, as if he had accepted his fate and was prepared to welcome his death.

He did not hate Kaguya for abandoning him, because Kaguya was his creator, his mother, and the one who had given meaning to his life.

Black Zetsu only felt regret. After working for more than a thousand years, he had finally resurrected his mother, yet he hadn’t been able to spend much time with Kaguya, nor could he continue devising strategies for Kaguya and dealing with powerful enemies.

Boom! Boom!!

A huge burst of flames erupted.

The flames engulfed Black Zetsu, leaving behind nothing but a scorched patch of ground.
