Naruto: Talent entry, starting with Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 165 Otsutsuki Isshiki's Attention, Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu
On a certain island outside the Ninja Continent, there is a mountain that looks ordinary on the outside, but is actually full of wonders and advanced technology that is ahead of the ninja world.

A man dressed in a white monk's haori, with his hair gathered on top of his head and a long braid down the back, and the Roman numeral IV tattooed below his left eye, stood holding a glass of red wine on what appeared to be a cliff from the outside but a balcony from the inside. His gaze, piercing through an incredibly sophisticated barrier, fell upon the golden beam of light descending from the sky, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "A thousand years have passed, and yet, among the descendants of that woman Kaguya, there is still one who can awaken the Tenseigan without taking any elixirs, solely through bloodline. Truly an outstanding case of atavism!"

This man is none other than Isshiki Otsutsuki, who came to Earth with Kaguya Otsutsuki in ancient times to plant the Divine Tree. However, during the sacrifice, he was betrayed by Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was his guardian, and nearly died in the mouth of the Ten-Tails. Now, he has taken over the body of this monk named Jigen.

Otsutsuki Isshiki's eyes suddenly turned sinister again, and he muttered, "The Gedo Mazo, the Rinnegan, the Tenseigan, the Wood Release containing the characteristics of the Divine Tree... all these things have reappeared in this era. It seems that Kaguya and her two sons had prepared a backup plan. They really did not die."

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that I haven't yet cultivated a second vessel, and that this body isn't unable to withstand my power—forcibly reincarnating would shorten my lifespan—I would definitely make that woman Kaguya pay the price!"

After speaking in a cold voice, Otsutsuki Isshiki seemed to have thought of something. He stared at the beam of light retracting and cutting off a third of the night sky from the moon. His gaze was filled with fervor and regret.

Capable of autonomously evolving the two ultimate eye techniques, the Rinnegan and Tenseigan, both Madara Uchiha and Toneri Otsutsuki were actually the most suitable "vessels" for reincarnation.

Unfortunately, they were most likely Kaguya Otsutsuki and her two sons' backup plan.

They should all have wedge-like markings on their bodies.

If he were to keep an eye on them, Kaguya Otsutsuki would probably discover that he was still alive before he could even successfully reincarnate.

Her two sons might also discover his existence.

That technique, which could even seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, was something that Isshiki Otsutsuki greatly feared.

Moreover, it's uncertain whether the rift between mother and son is a setup targeting him.

For the grand plan of replanting the sacred tree and reaping its fruits, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki must not act rashly.

We've endured it for a thousand years, so enduring it for a little longer isn't out of the question.

"The Divine Tree bears fruit only once every thousand years. So much time has passed since Kaguya stole and ate the fruit. The higher-ups should have already noticed something is wrong. Perhaps our clansmen are on their way to this planet."

"Before they arrive, I must cultivate a vessel that can fully withstand my power, otherwise if they discover me and the second Ten-Tails, they might threaten to reduce me to a lower rank."

After downing his glass of red wine in one gulp, Otsutsuki Isshiki thought to himself, "Keep causing trouble, you don't have much time left."

……

In a plain in the ninja world, there is a bottomless pit.

Wisps of hot steam floated out from the hole.

Madara Uchiha, still clad in blue armor, lay at the bottom of the crater, staring blankly at the moon, a third of which had been severed, and muttered, "One strike... sent me back to Earth from the moon. Is this the power of the Tenseigan? No wonder he always looked down on my Rinnegan..."

Thanks to the absorption by the Preta Path, the absolute defense of Susanoo, and the cooldown of Limbo: Border Jail ending at the last moment, Madara Uchiha, who fell from the moon to Earth, did not die.

With the help of four shadow clones to deflect the force, the impact of Susanoo falling to the ground only caused Madara Uchiha to vomit blood and his internal organs to churn violently.

However, as long as he doesn't die on the spot, his injuries will heal quickly after receiving transplants of Hashirama cells and White Zetsu cells.

Physical injury is a minor matter.

Madara Uchiha's most severely wounded part is his heart.

Izayoi's attack, which struck from the moon to the earth, shattered Madara Uchiha's pride and his dreams.

If Infinite Tsukuyomi is indeed a ninjutsu used to create White Zetsu, then his dream of severing cause and effect is a huge joke.

However, his strength was insufficient to kill 'Otsutsuki Toneri' and save the future of the ninja world.

He can neither create a beautiful and peaceful world nor become a savior who kills gods and saves humanity.

Madara Uchiha was now in a state of confusion, unsure of what to do next.

Should we continue fighting Otsutsuki Toneri?

He currently lacks the power to kill Otsutsuki Toneri, and was even sent flying from the moon back to Earth by a single blow. Continuing on would only bring him further humiliation.

The Three-Tails has not yet been resurrected, and Madara Uchiha cannot verify the authenticity of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Moreover, he didn't know when the Three-Tails would revive, and during this time, Otsutsuki Toneri could destroy the world at any moment.

Limbo and Complete Susanoo are countered, and the chakra absorption is not as good as the opponent's own. Can it really be stopped?
"Master Madara..."

Madara Uchiha didn't know how long he had been lying at the bottom of the pit until a familiar voice reached his ears, which brought him back to his senses.

Looking at the black and white Zetsu who had found him using the Ephemeral Technique, revealing only their upper bodies, Madara Uchiha stared at Black Zetsu, whose eyes were brown and the rest of his body was black, and suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Otsutsuki... Black Zetsu."

"..."

Although his body was a product of Yin-Yang Release, and therefore lacked a heart and should not have human organs, Black Zetsu still felt as if his breathing had stopped and his heart had ceased beating.

Forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart and preventing his voice from trembling, Black Zetsu feigned confusion and asked, "Lord Madara, isn't the Otsutsuki clan Otsutsuki Toneri's family? Why are you addressing me like that?"

Staring at Black Zetsu, whose quick reaction and questioning expression didn't seem fake, Madara Uchiha didn't explain, but slowly asked, "Black Zetsu, would you betray me?"

"I am Lord Madara's will, a product of your creation, how could I possibly betray you!" Black Zetsu hurriedly said, his heart filled with heaviness, and... fear.

what happened?

How did Madara Uchiha know that his name was Otsutsuki Black Zetsu?

What did Otsutsuki Toneri say to him?
Could it be that that bastard Hamura had already discovered his existence?
Apart from Hagoromo and Hamura, their descendants should not have been able to discover their own existence.

Since they all discovered him, why didn't they take action to eliminate him?

Why would they let themselves off the hook?

Are you trying to take advantage of him?

Countless questions arose in his mind, but Black Zetsu had no time to seriously consider them.

The most important thing now is to eliminate any suspicion of Madara Uchiha.

Black Zetsu then said indignantly, "Lord Madara, did Otsutsuki Toneri say something to you? He's trying to sow discord between us."

"Yes, that's what I think too."

Madara Uchiha removed the armor from his Susanoo, stood up, looked up at the moon, and turned to Black Zetsu with a smile: "After all, you are the embodiment of my will. Do you think I don't know whether I created you or not?"

"I underestimated the younger generation of this era. I lost this battle." Madara Uchiha sighed slightly, then his eyes hardened. "However, both the Rinnegan and Tenseigan are Sage's eyes, so there can't be a difference in their level of development. It's just a matter of not being developed enough. The fact that I couldn't beat him means I'm not strong enough yet, and I still have the potential to become stronger." "Let's go back and gather our strength."

After leaving behind these words, Madara Uchiha floated into the air.

Black and White Absolute quickly used the Mayfly Technique to burrow into the ground.

When Madara Uchiha returned to the plains and began to travel on foot, Zetsu and Zetsu reappeared.

Black Zetsu feigned curiosity and asked, "Lord Madara, have you ever seen the Otsutsuki clan on the moon? What do they look like? Are they like the humans in the ninja world?"

“I have never seen a member of the Otsutsuki clan. They may have all migrated to other places, or perhaps only Otsutsuki Toneri remains in the Otsutsuki clan.” Madara Uchiha turned to stare at Black Zetsu and said, “Also… Otsutsuki Toneri’s appearance is different from the information you gave me.”

"What's different?" Black Zetsu asked quickly.

Looking at Black Zetsu, who was incredibly curious and whose tone unconsciously revealed a hint of urgency, Madara Uchiha said with a half-smile, "He claims to be a pure-blooded Otsutsuki, whose Tenseigan has already completed its final evolution, and he is different from the humans in the ninja world because... he has horns."

"It's unbelievable that a human has horns." Black Zetsu exclaimed in surprise, his mood sinking once again.

Long horns!

In other words, is Otsutsuki Toneri's atavism at the same level as that bastard Hamura?

Could it be that Hamura left behind a secret technique that allows clansmen to strip each other of their bloodline and purify their own?
Otherwise, why is there only one person, Toneri Otsutsuki, on the moon?
Or perhaps... Hamura, during his time on the moon, became so obsessed that he went mad and used some unknown method to seize the bodies of his descendants, achieving a different kind of immortality?

Thinking about this, Black Zetsu felt a chill run down his spine.

If that's the case, that bastard Hamura might be even more terrifying than that rebellious son Hagoromo!
No, we must send some White Zetsu clones to infiltrate the moon and gather more detailed intelligence.

Seeing that Black Zetsu was talking more than usual and didn't directly possess him to communicate, Madara Uchiha withdrew his gaze.

He neither fully believed Izayoi's words nor developed a sense of doubt and apprehension towards Black Zetsu.

Regardless of whether Izayoi's words are true or false, Black Zetsu is no longer someone he can completely trust.

Because Madara Uchiha realized something truly terrifying.

That is... his Yin-Yang Release skills are not up to the level of Izayoi.

Those black spheres contain elements of Yin-Yang Release. Since Izayoi can create all kinds of matter and natural disasters, he should be able to create Black Zetsu's Yin-Yang Release as well.

In fact, his Yin-Yang Release technique should be even more advanced than Izayoi's.

After all, his Yin-Yang Escape technique can even create living beings.

However, apart from creating Black Zetsu, Madara Uchiha's Yin-Yang Release has very limited uses beyond creating black rods.

Let alone creating various substances out of thin air, it can't even do what the Five Elements Escape Technique does with natural disasters.

Thinking of the scene he saw in the illusionary world, Black Zetsu first infiltrated the body of the Gedo Mazo, and then seeped into his body through the tube, Madara Uchiha's heart sank.

Yin-Yang Escape... Spirit Possession!
If Black Zetsu is indeed Kaguya Otsutsuki's third son, then the reason why I believe Black Zetsu is my will might be because of this ability.

"The Divine Tree, the Chakra Fruit, Kaguya Otsutsuki, the Goddess of the Rabbit, the Sage of Six Paths, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, the Infinite Tsukuyomi..." Madara Uchiha couldn't help but murmur to himself, sorting out these ancient secrets and figures.

"As long as people truly exist, they will inevitably leave traces. Even after thousands of years, they cannot be forgotten by this world, especially the high and mighty gods."

One last glance at the cracked moon in the sky, Madara Uchiha refocused on his goal, thinking to himself, "Whether it's true or false, I will verify it myself. I will never let you destroy the ninja world. This world... I will protect it!"

Blue Yin Release chakra surged forth, and Madara Uchiha unleashed his Complete Susanoo, soaring into the sky and flying away from the plain.

Watching Madara Uchiha's departing figure, Zetsu and Zetsu sank into the ground.

However, before his head sank completely into the ground, a sinister glint flashed in Black Zetsu's eyes.

He knew that Madara Uchiha had already suspected him, or distrusted him.

That unidentified guy on the moon must have told Madara Uchiha a lot of secrets, or shown him a lot of things.

The reason they didn't take action against themselves was probably because they didn't completely trust the other party, and also because of their own arrogance.

Thinking about this, Black Zetsu felt frustrated and fearful.

After a thousand years of planning, all that was missing was the three-tailed fox to rescue their mother, but they failed at the last moment.

At this moment, Black Zetsu wished he could tear Uchiha Obito to pieces.

If he hadn't killed the Three-Tails, the day Madara Uchiha was resurrected would have been the day he unleashed the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Where would such a change of events occur!

Fortunately, none of them knew that their own existence was the key to reviving their mother.

After decades of planning, Madara Uchiha would never give up becoming the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and mastering the Infinite Tsukuyomi just because of a few words from an enemy or because he saw some secret.

As long as he can use Infinite Tsukuyomi, he will still have hope of reviving his mother.

However, at that time, it would become extremely difficult for him to injure Madara Uchiha.

Even the moment the opponent becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, they might use him as a test subject.

To this, Black Zetsu sneered inwardly, "You people who stole Mother's power have no idea just how powerful the Goddess of the Rabbit truly is!"

Izayoi was unaware of Isshiki Otsutsuki's attention.

However, Izayoi's wood clone witnessed the conversation between Madara Uchiha and the black and white Zetsu.

Although he couldn't understand their conversation, Izayoi could already fill in the blanks in his mind by observing their micro-expression changes.

The information was transmitted to the main body in real time, and both the wooden clone and Izayoi herself were in a very good mood.

Among them, Izayoi's main body offers a higher level of pleasure.

Because of this powerful strike that hit Earth from the Moon... it's a success!
