Konoha.
Under the gloomy sky, drizzle continued to fall, wetting the dust on the ruins.
At this time, a huge pit appeared in Konoha Village, and countless pieces of rubble were everywhere.
The ninjas were sweating profusely as they hurriedly performed earth escape ninjutsu to rescue the wounded, and the screams and wails of pain never stopped.
Inside the tents, countless Konoha villagers and ninjas stared blankly at the village that had turned into ruins.
"How could this happen? Everyone was here before."
An old man came out of the shelter and saw all this, tears streaming down his eyes.
At the same time, in the refugee camp, countless Konoha villagers were silently looking at the porridge in their bowls.
"Why did so many people die? The Hokage is the strongest in the ninja world, why didn't he protect everyone?"
"Damn it, the demon fox is a disaster star. Since the demon fox appeared, our Konoha has been plagued by disasters."
"A demon fox?"
Groups of Konoha villagers were silent, but this time when the word "demon fox" was mentioned, there was an obvious hidden darkness in their eyes.
But when they thought of the fox demon's destructive power, they could only recite silently in their hearts and no one dared to resist.
This is peace through strength.
At this time, inside the makeshift hospital.
"Naruto, your body is seriously overdrawn. What you need now is rest."
"No! I can't rest yet. Once the enemy finds out they've been tricked, they'll come back. We have to stop this..."
Naruto Uzumaki got out of the hospital bed, looking at the village that had turned into ruins with a tired face, his eyes filled with pain.
"Naruto!"
As the attending physician, Haruno Sakura sighed with a tired look on her face:
"Naruto, I'm sorry. Boruto is still young and ignorant..."
Before Sakura could finish her words, Uzumaki Naruto angrily waved his hand to interrupt her and shouted:
"You're just being ignorant and want to kill villagers? From now on, this bastard is no longer a ninja of Konoha, let alone my son!"
"Pass on my order. List Uzumaki Boruto as an S-rank traitor to Konoha. All Konoha ninjas you see should be captured. If Boruto resists, break his limbs and bring him back to me."
"Yes!"
"Naruto!"
Sakura hurriedly spoke up to stop him. Once Boruto was listed as an S-rank rebel, he would be really finished.
However, Uzumaki Naruto simply waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Sakura, you don't have to say anything. This is my duty as the Hokage!"
After saying that, Uzumaki Naruto dragged his tired body away in silence, heading towards the temporary secret room in the distance.
"Lord Hokage!"
"Lord Hokage!"
With the respectful greetings of the Anbu one by one, Uzumaki Naruto came into the secret room.
Nagato, who was sealed by the sealing scroll, only showed his head at this time. At the same time, the Fourth Leg Shadow Kurotsuchi, the Fifth Raikage Darui, the Sixth Mizukage Chojuro, and the Fifth Kazekage Gaara appeared.
There was also the Sixth Hokage, Kakashi Hatake, and they were all silent at this time.
"Naruto!"
Sasuke, whose arm had been reattached, walked in. After seeing Naruto's silent expression, his expression became serious.
"Sasuke, and everyone else, now is not the time for us to relax. The enemy captured a shadow clone of my Nine-Tails Chakra. It will be discovered sooner or later."
After hearing this, Hatake Kakashi nodded with a heavy expression and said:
"Sasuke is right. We can't leave the battlefield in Konoha this time. If we don't evacuate in advance, the damage to Konoha will be even more serious.
Moreover, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade-sama did not show up from beginning to end. I think something must have happened before this. According to our investigation, there are enemies in the dark, and someone saw Boruto being killed by White Zetsu..."
After Hatake Kakashi revealed the information, a trace of fearful memories suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.
White Zetsu! Doesn't this prove that Kaguya Otsutsuki has really come out, but she didn't appear on the front battlefield. This is the most terrifying thing.
"Is it Black Zetsu?!"
When he thought of this, Uzumaki Naruto gave a bitter smile.
"When we sealed Kaguya Otsutsuki in her stone ball space, I also sealed Black Zetsu in there with my own hands. Now Black Zetsu has escaped and is here for revenge."
Seeing Naruto like this, Gaara on the side was a little worried, but the Fourth Leg Shadow Kurotsuchi, who was leaning against the wall on the other side, frowned and looked at everyone and spoke in a deep voice.
"Black Zetsu? We all came from the Fourth War, and we all know this dangerous person. If Kaguya Otsutsuki's power is terrifying, then Black Zetsu's calculations are terrifying!
After all, the disasters in the ninja world over the past thousand years, as well as figures like Uchiha Madara, were all calculated. Black Zetsu was obviously taking advantage of the chaos this time to stir up trouble. The appearance of Nagato and Kakuzu, and even Boruto, could all be bewitched by Black Zetsu..."
After listening to Kurotsuchi's words, everyone fell silent, and Kakashi Hatake glanced at Kurotsuchi inadvertently, although he was a little surprised that the other party would actually make excuses for Boruto.
But when he thought that Boruto was Naruto's only son, Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but become cautious.
"Naruto, what the Tsuchikage said makes sense. I think Boruto must have been bewitched. After all, even a figure like Uchiha Madara was bewitched, not to mention that Boruto is still a child..."
The shadows began to make excuses for Boruto. One reason was Black Zetsu's ability to bewitch others, and the other reason, to put it bluntly, was the fear in everyone's hearts.
After all, this is Uzumaki Naruto's only son. Who knows if Uzumaki Naruto's personality will change drastically if something happens.
This is something no one dares to gamble on.
From the beginning to the end, although Uzumaki Naruto is still the passionate Naruto who believes in everyone, after Naruto has the power to influence the situation in the ninja world.
Everyone had even more concerns in their hearts.
"Kakashi-sensei, Gaara, everyone!"
After seeing everyone making excuses for Boruto, Uzumaki Naruto's eyes became a little moist, but the next moment he still showed a determined look.
"Everyone, our primary goal now is to eliminate Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki as well as Kaguya hiding in the dark. These are the enemies that threaten the ninja world."
After saying this, Uzumaki Naruto turned his head and looked at the sealed Nagato, with a hint of shame on his face.
"Nagato, I made a mistake. After the Fourth War sealed Kaguya, everyone was immersed in the joy of saving the Ninja World. We were all happily rebuilding our homes, but I forgot my promise to you and Konan..."
In the face of Uzumaki Naruto's ashamed apology, Nagato, with his impure world body, showed a cold smile.
"Haha, you are really worthy of being like this, Naruto. Every time you make a mistake, you ask everyone to forgive you, but you never think about the mistakes you have made. As long as the other party does not conform to your ninja way, you will angrily scold the other party.
If the other party disagrees, you beat him with your fists and impose your will on him. Isn't this what you are best at? Just like Sasuke beside you!"
At this point, Nagato looked at Sasuke angrily and said:
"Uchiha Sasuke, aren't you determined to bring about change to the ninja world? Did your ninja way disappear after being defeated by Uzumaki Naruto? Don't talk nonsense about knowing you were wrong. It's obvious that your will was influenced by Uzumaki Naruto. Are you still the original Uchiha Sasuke? You are clearly Uchiha Naruto!"
Facing Nagato's angry shout, Uzumaki Naruto was about to say something when suddenly a soul figure slowly appeared, causing everyone to exclaim in surprise.
"Six Paths Immortal!"
"Grandpa Six Paths Sage!"
As the Six Paths Sage appeared, everyone exclaimed in surprise, but the Six Paths Sage just looked at Nagato in silence.
"Nagato! Or rather, you have been influenced and bewitched by the Black Zetsu. Why don't you come out now?"
As the voice of the Six Paths Sage echoed, everyone showed expressions of shock, Black Zetsu!
The next moment a familiar hoarse laugh echoed.
"Hehe, Yuyi, you are such a rebel. I didn't expect that you would find out after all."
Following a hoarse laugh, Nagato with his filthy body showed a look of pain, and the next moment half of his body was covered in black.
"Naruto, don't be impulsive. This is just a clone of Black Zetsu."
When he saw Black Zetsu appear, Uzumaki Naruto was about to take action impulsively, but was persuaded back by the Six Paths Sage beside him.
"Hehe, Naruto, don't think that I was the one who bewitched you. I just told Nagato about the development of the ninja world in recent years and the current situation of Rain Village."
At this time, Black Zetsu looked at Naruto with a mocking smile on his face, and even teased:
"Do you dare to say in front of everyone that everything I told Nagato was false?"
At this moment Uzumaki Naruto was extremely angry, but Nagato fell silent.
Although he knew that it was Black Zetsu who bewitched him, he also knew that what the other party said was true.
"Black Zetsu, Mother is out now, what is your purpose in doing this?"
The Six Paths Sage looked at Black Zetsu with a serious expression, but Black Zetsu sneered.
"Hagi, you beast, stop pretending. People who don't know you would really think you are some kind of immortal. After all, weren't the disasters in the ninja world for thousands of years caused by you?
What is the child of destiny, Uzumaki Naruto? In the end, it's all your trick. Aren't the wills of Ashura and Indra influenced by you? The thousand-year war in the ninja world is nothing but a game of you, the beast of feather clothes..."
"Shut up! I don't allow you to say that about the Six Paths Sage." Uzumaki Naruto shouted angrily, but the Six Paths Sage calmly shook his head.
"People like you will never understand my heart."
Black Zetsu said jokingly, "Hagoromo, you beast, stop acting. You are just worried about Mother. I tell you now that Mother is the princess of the Otsutsuki clan.
As long as Mother is here, this planet will not be targeted, because it is Mother's private territory, but all of this has disappeared, because the peace you thought of has completely disappointed Mother!"
At this moment, Black Zetsu was laughing with excitement and playfulness on his face. He was going to make up a huge lie to plunge the entire ninja world into fear.
He wanted to make Uzumaki Naruto, who had sealed his mother, and Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, deserted by their friends and relatives.
"what!"
When everyone heard what Black Zetsu said, their faces changed and as ninjas, their minds started to work quickly.
However, the Six Paths Sage Hagoromo snorted coldly and sneered, "Black Zetsu, stop trying to deceive us. When Mother ordered the creation of 100,000 White Zetsu, wasn't it just to deal with the Otsutsuki you mentioned?"
However, Black Zetsu sneered sarcastically and said disdainfully:
"Fool, mother is the princess of the Otsutsuki Kaguya clan, and she just doesn't want to obey the clan's arrangements, so she rebelled. Otherwise, how could the ninja world have had peace for thousands of years!
You are the real fools. You believed the words of the beast Liudao Yuyi and actually sealed the true guardian of this ninja world!"
When he said this, Black Zetsu glared at Hatake Kakashi and the others and cursed:
"You deserve it! After Mother broke the seal, she was completely disappointed with you in this ninja world, and she chose to return to the Otsutsuki clan.
Now this world has lost the protection of the Mother, and the Otsutsuki clan has once again used this world as a colony to cultivate the sacred tree. Now you! What you are experiencing is just the beginning. "
At this time, Black Zetsu looked at Uzumaki Naruto jokingly and laughed:
"Uzumaki Naruto, don't you claim that peace can be achieved as long as everyone trusts each other? Then show me how to do it. Now you are facing only Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
There are so many Otsutsuki in the universe. If you defeat two, new Otsutsuki will come. How many can you defeat? All these disasters are caused by you! You made Mother completely disappointed and left. The ninja world has completely lost its protector!"
Black Zetsu made up a huge lie while laughing excitedly in revenge.
But all of this is so logical.
With Kaguya Otsutsuki's personality, it is obviously unreasonable that there is no news about her after the seal was broken.
But after hearing what Black Zetsu said, everyone seemed to look at each other in confusion, with a feeling of fear emerging in their hearts.
Is it all true!?
According to Black Zetsu, at least when Kaguya Otsutsuki was in the Ninja World, the entire world had not been attacked by the Otsutsuki clan.
But ever since Kaguya Otsutsuki broke the seal and disappeared, the Otsutsuki clan has arrived.
This is simply a perfect closed loop.
The princess of the Otsutsuki clan, after being completely disappointed, gave up on this world and chose to leave.
After this world lost the protection of Princess Otsutsuki, it once again became the prey of the Otsutsuki clan and began to descend.
"How is that possible! Who can prove what you said? Don't believe it!"
The fourth generation leg shadow Kurotsuchi shouted angrily at the angry Black Zetsu. Under this double act, Black Zetsu laughed jokingly and said:
"Do I need you to believe me? I just want you to feel endless regret. When you find out that you defeat one Otsutsuki, there will be new ones, and powerful enemies will continue to come.
Hehe, by then you will live in endless regret. You will regret everything you have done, and even more regret for driving away the true guardian of the ninja world. I will watch you..."
The Six Paths Sage had an even gloomier expression as he stared at Black Zetsu, trying to see through the other party's conspiracy, but his brain was also buzzing at this moment.
Could it be that what Black Zetsu said was true!?
The Otsutsuki clan keeps coming, bringing disaster to the ninja world!
After thinking about this, Six Paths Sage Yuyi's heart suddenly trembled. This completely destroyed his persistence of thousands of years.
Isn't everything he does a joke?
"Naruto! Don't believe what Black Zetsu says."
Finally, the indifferent voice of the Six Paths Sage echoed, as if telling everyone that he had seen through the other party's conspiracy.
And Uzumaki Naruto on the side also shouted angrily:
"Don't worry, old Six Paths Sage. How could I possibly believe what Black Zetsu said? I believe we can definitely defeat the enemy!"
"Haha, I'm also looking forward to you defeating your current enemies."
Looking at Naruto and the Six Paths Hagoromo, Black Zetsu laughed playfully.
"Only by defeating the current enemy can you see the Otsutsuki who are constantly coming. Then you will know what kind of disaster your actions have brought to the ninja world. Hahahaha..."
As Black Zetsu's excited laughter echoed, the next moment the Impure World Body began to tremble and shatter, leaving only Black Zetsu's last meaningful smile. (End of this chapter)
