Chapter 588: Kaguya’s Resurrection

Black Zetsu looked at Nagasawa with a suspicious expression, practically writing the words "I don’t trust you" all over his face.

In Black Zetsu’s heart, Nagasawa had repeatedly ruined his plans and could be called the greatest obstacle to resurrecting his mother.

So when Nagasawa said he wanted to resurrect Kaguya, Black Zetsu instinctively thought that Nagasawa was fooling him and planning something.

Of course, it might also be because Black Zetsu had deceived people too many times and thought everyone else was the same.

"What? You don’t believe me? I don’t have any grudge against Kaguya, so why couldn’t I resurrect her?" Nagasawa said leisurely.

This time, Nagasawa really had no ulterior motive and was genuinely planning to find a way to resurrect Kaguya.

There were two reasons for doing so.

First, he had now reached the peak of the Six Paths level, and the path beyond the Six Paths was still relatively clear. With Kaguya’s strength, it would be difficult for her to pose a threat to him.

Second was Kaguya’s identity as a traitor of the Otsutsuki clan.

According to the existing information, the Otsutsuki clan also had a hierarchy. Kaguya might have been at the very bottom, while Isshiki was of a slightly higher rank than Kaguya.

If Isshiki called a low-ranking Otsutsuki like Kaguya a traitor, then she must have done something that betrayed Isshiki or the Otsutsuki clan.

As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Since Kaguya was a traitor of the Otsutsuki clan, and he had also killed Isshiki, making him an enemy of the Otsutsuki, there was a possibility that the two of them could cooperate.

There was still far too little information about the Otsutsuki. As a member of the Otsutsuki clan, Kaguya definitely knew a great deal about them and could provide a lot of useful information.

Then there were some other ideas Nagasawa had. Since Isshiki could develop scientific ninja tools and vigorously advance Chakra technology, could Kaguya also create similar black technology and help develop the technology tree of the ninja world?

Therefore, Nagasawa believed that under the current circumstances, resurrecting Kaguya was an action with more benefits than drawbacks, with the gains far outweighing the risks.

With strength came greater confidence. If Nagasawa only had the strength of Six Paths Obito, he definitely would not release Kaguya. The risks would be too great.

After all, Kaguya was a member of the Otsutsuki clan. Who knew what kind of actions she might take?

But with sufficient strength, things became simple. If they wanted to cooperate, then they could get along peacefully. If they did not want to cooperate, then she could go back down there and stay.

Nagasawa’s words plunged Black Zetsu into deep thought.

It did seem to be the case. Nagasawa and Kaguya had originally had nothing to do with each other.

’Besides, I no longer have any bargaining power.’ Black Zetsu, being an old schemer, knew his situation very well.

Right now, he was the meat on the chopping block, and Nagasawa held complete control over his life. He could only agree or die.

"Resurrecting Mother requires two necessary conditions. One is the Ten-Tails, and the other is the Rinnegan," Black Zetsu thought for a moment before saying.

No matter how many schemes Black Zetsu had, he had no choice now. He could only hope that Nagasawa genuinely wanted to resurrect Kaguya.

Because this was Black Zetsu’s only remaining opportunity.

"Let the Ten-Tails transform into the Divine Tree, then use the Rinnegan to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi. Finally, I will release a technique, and Mother can be resurrected," Black Zetsu said.

"Using Infinite Tsukuyomi is impossible. Tell me another method," Nagasawa said indifferently.

He would have to be crazy to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Infinite Tsukuyomi would turn the entire ninja world into Kaguya’s power bank, providing her with a massive amount of Chakra.

Not only would it strengthen Kaguya, but it would also cause tremendous harm to the ninja world.

Noticing Nagasawa’s firm attitude, Black Zetsu inwardly sighed in regret.

"The Ten-Tails is essential. No matter what, it cannot be omitted. Infinite Tsukuyomi does not have to be cast, but a massive amount of Chakra is still required. Otherwise, Mother will be unable to break through the seal," Black Zetsu said.

"The Ten-Tails isn’t difficult. A massive amount of Chakra can also be dealt with." Nagasawa nodded in satisfaction.

It was only a matter of resurrecting Kaguya. There was no need for him to do it so perfectly. Just like in the original story, even without gathering all the Tailed Beasts, they had still pieced together the Ten-Tails.

Moreover, as long as a Tailed Beast was willing to leave a portion of its Chakra permanently inside its jinchuriki, even if the Tailed Beast was extracted, the jinchuriki would not die.

However, because the Tailed Beasts had originally been forcibly sealed into human bodies, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a Tailed Beast to do such a thing.

Unless there was a relationship like the one between Gyuki and Killer B.

Besides, Chakra technology was now highly advanced. If one was willing to pay the price, cultivating some Tailed Beast Chakra was not difficult.

The same applied to the massive amount of Chakra. All that was needed was some large-capacity Chakra containers.

"Stay here obediently. Once I’ve arranged everything, prepare to perform the technique," Nagasawa said.

There was no way he would let Black Zetsu out.

Black Zetsu’s only purpose was to perform the technique after Nagasawa created the Ten-Tails.

"By the way, I don’t particularly like you. Remember to make things dignified for yourself after performing the technique." Nagasawa left him with these final words before departing.

Hearing this, Black Zetsu’s already dark face became even darker.

Nagasawa intended for him to die after resurrecting Kaguya.

"If I can complete the mission of resurrecting Mother, then it will be worth it." Black Zetsu returned to his normal expression.

Having always regarded Nagasawa as his greatest threat, Black Zetsu naturally understood Nagasawa’s personality as well.

Nagasawa had ideals and a personality similar to Hashirama’s. Despite possessing tremendous strength, he would not bully the weak. On the other hand, Nagasawa also possessed ruthlessness and decisiveness similar to Madara’s.

Therefore, Black Zetsu was not surprised that Nagasawa wanted to kill him.

However, his mission upon being created was to resurrect his mother.

If he could resurrect his mother, then it would be worth dying at that point.

......

Although leaving a portion of a Tailed Beast’s Chakra inside a jinchuriki could prevent the jinchuriki from dying after the Tailed Beast was extracted,

Nagasawa was not a saint. He was a hypocrite.

Even if there was such a method, he was unwilling to extract the Tailed Beasts from Naruto or Kushina.

Nagasawa would rather use Impure World Reincarnation to summon the Gold and Silver Brothers and use the Nine-Tails Chakra within their bodies to make up for the Nine-Tails’ position. That way, the Nine-Tails could be dealt with.

As for the remaining eight Tailed Beasts, there was no choice.

After all, if they did this with every Tailed Beast, it would be a miracle if they could still produce the Ten-Tails. At most, they could do this with one or two Tailed Beasts.

Nagasawa convened a Allied Shinobi Forces meeting in his capacity as one of Konoha’s six permanent council members to openly discuss this matter.

Nagasawa revealed Isshiki’s identity, as well as a series of intelligence regarding the Chakra technology company, in the meeting room, pointing out the threat the Otsutsuki posed to the ninja world.

He then explained his reasons and plan for resurrecting Kaguya.

After all, this involved the jinchuriki of the various villages. If he did not explain everything clearly, it would be difficult to proceed.
