Chapter 486 Black Zetsu's Story of Saving His Mother

The center of the moon.

After a fit of impotent rage at the sealing barrier, the filial son Black Zetsu finally calmed down.

He also understood that, with his own strength alone, he would never be able to break the seal before him.

The only solution now is to —

His gaze went upwards, as if piercing through the thick earth's crust, landing on the giant Tenseigan that he had learned about from Hyuga Yuto.

That eye that sustains the entire lunar core world, and is said to be on the same level as the Rinnegan.

He originally came to the moon just to see this treasure and see if there was a chance to take it for himself.

But overall, I don't necessarily intend to get it.

But things are different now. For his mother's sake, he must get his hands on this giant Tenseigan.

Having figured all this out, Black Zetsu decisively left. He couldn't see his mother, and staying here would only add to his sorrow.

Unfortunately, getting off was easy, but the way back was lost.

Unlike going down, where you simply follow the direction of gravity downwards and can always find a way around if you get blocked, the overall direction is correct.

But going up is different, especially since he also needs to find the body of the White Zetsu that he abandoned back then.

Without that body, Black Zetsu wouldn't dare guarantee he could safely pass through the Earth-Moon Passage. If he were discovered, he wouldn't even have the strength to fight back.

Helpless, Black Zetsu wandered around underground for what felt like three or four days, but still couldn't find his body.

At this moment, he finally understood the predicament of the demon. Without a body, it was like being naked in public, with no sense of security whatsoever.

Ultimately, Black Zetsu had no choice but to risk being discovered and surface directly.

He first confirmed his location, and then found the spot where he had dived.

Only then did he realize how far apart the two places were—more than 50 kilometers. No wonder he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.

When Black Zetsu found White Zetsu's body again, he was not greeted with warm words of comfort, but rather with endless nagging from White Zetsu.

"Do you have any conscience at all, leaving someone here, unable to move or walk, trapped in one position?"

"I've been your body for so long, I've done my part, and this is how you treat me?"

"You black devil, you've let me down. As punishment, you'll have my access to your body for the next week, no, for a whole month."

Normally, Black Zetsu could listen to White Zetsu's nagging and even banter with him, considering it a welcome diversion in this endless time.

But right now, Black Zetsu is focused on saving his mother and has no time to listen to White Zetsu's rambling.

"Shut up, I have important things to do. If you keep babbling, I'll send you back to the factory for a makeshift education."

A single angry rebuke silenced all of White Zetsu's words, and it was only then that Black Zetsu realized that nine days had passed underground.

Not wanting to waste any more time, Black Zetsu infiltrated the entrance to the Earth-Moon Passage and infiltrated the Konoha ninja's supply convoy, thus successfully entering the "Sun."

Upon arriving here, Black Zetsu was greatly invigorated, his entire being in a state of excitement, and even White Zetsu's ramblings sounded pleasant to him.

As Hyuga Yuto said, once they arrived here, the main hall where the giant Tenseigan was located was already close at hand, and all that was left was to carefully sneak in.

Even if there are several Konoha ninjas guarding the giant Tenseigan, it's still a piece of cake for him.

Even if the opponent is a Jonin, he is confident that he can take them down in a surprise attack.

With a joyful heart, Black Zetsu spent another two days before finally entering the main hall where the giant Tenseigan was located.

Good news, there are no Konoha ninja guards here. In the empty hall, only a giant Tenseigan floats on the high platform in the middle.

Black Zetsu cautiously approached the center, feeling the terrifying power contained within the giant Tenseigan, his excitement impossible to conceal.

As the distance drew closer, Black Zetsu's vision became clearer and clearer, yet the excitement on his face diminished until it vanished, and his entire body trembled.

A faint seal covered the giant Reincarnation Eye, but the seal was so weak that it offered almost no protection.

But Black Zetsu dared not make any unnecessary moves.

The reason is simple: in the middle of that faint seal is a mark that Black Zetsu is very familiar with—it is Matsushita Taichi's Flying Thunder God mark, which makes him invincible.

Without even thinking, Black Zetsu knew that the sole purpose of this seal was to trigger the Flying Thunder God seal left by that bastard. At that time, the one who triggered it would not be facing a simple seal, but the most terrifying protective force in the ninja world.

Slowly, Black Zetsu withdrew from the main hall, but with each step, a tear rolled down his cheek.

"My dearest mother, your unfilial son cannot rescue you now. Please wait a little longer. The plan on Earth has already begun, and the day you are freed from the seal is not far off."

Black Zetsu suppressed his grief, blended into the returning group, and returned to the Ninja World once again through the Earth-Moon Passage.

In a deserted, dense forest, Black Zetsu finally stopped suppressing himself.

"ah----"

The painful cries echoed through the woods, startling flocks of birds into flight.

The voice contained six parts sorrow, three parts anger, and one part helplessness—this was the complex emotion Hei Jue felt at that moment.

After venting his anger for a long time, until the sun set, Black Zetsu finally regained his lifeless expression and returned to the Akatsuki organization to complete his mission.

Leaf.

Taiyi was unaware that he had successfully scared off Black Zetsu simply by using the Flying Thunder God Mark he had left on the moon.

The mark was originally left to facilitate Taiyi's quick travel to and from the moon, and also to mark the giant Reincarnation Eye to prove that it belonged to someone. Little did anyone expect that it would also have an anti-theft function.

At this moment, Taiichi was looking at Yami and Itachi on the training field with anticipation.

Perhaps the ferocity and danger of that battle with the demons truly shocked the three little ones.

After the three returned, they not only became more diligent in their cultivation, but also seemed to have suddenly gained enlightenment, learning everything incredibly quickly.

After nearly two months of hard work, following Jiang Tai, Ya Mei and Itachi finally made a breakthrough in their cultivation of Sage Mode.

On the training field, Yami and Itachi were locked in a fierce battle.

The sounds of fists and feet clashing were incessant.

What's even more surprising is that every time they collide, they generate a faint shockwave.

This shows how powerful their punches and kicks were. If these punches were delivered to an ordinary person, they would be a knockout punch, without any chance of negotiation.

If someone were to observe closely, it wouldn't be hard to spot the faint golden light in their eyes—a unique mark of the Immortal Mode bestowed by Taiyi.

That's right, the two of them are currently fighting in Sage Mode.

The battle was fierce and intense, with every punch landing hard, but the two fighters' movements were somewhat stiff, and they couldn't even use a single ninjutsu.

It's not their fault. They had just stabilized their Sage Mode, and in order not to exit Sage Mode during battle, they needed to waste a lot of energy maintaining it.

However, these are all minor issues. The real challenge has passed, and all that's left is to practice more.

With the three little ones as examples, Taiyi's Sage Mode was no longer a technique unique to him.

If we say that the initial Sage Mode was version 1.0...

So, in the process of teaching the three little ones, Taiyi made continuous modifications and improvements, and the final version was Sage Mode 2.0.

This version can be distributed to a limited extent; at least for eligible individuals, it is a version that can be learned.

This is also the purpose of Taiichi teaching the three children Sage Mode: to prepare for future disasters, promote Sage Mode, and improve Konoha's strength.

At the same time, in order to allow more people to participate in learning and find more samples, the Immortal Mode will be continuously innovated and improved to version 3.0, 4.0 and even higher.

Twenty minutes later, Yamei and Jiang Tai stopped their attack at the same time. Both of them had a little sweat on their foreheads, which meant they hadn't exhausted much, but their faces were pale, which was a clear sign of fatigue.

Even so, the excitement on their faces did not fade at all.

The two formed a reconciliation seal with each other, and then happily ran towards Taiyi.

"Teacher, teacher, we did it!"

Yamei was overjoyed, and while sharing the good news, she didn't forget to wave her fist at Jiang Tai, who was watching from the sidelines.

It's not surprising that she acted this way. The two of them were the leaders of the boys and girls in the ninja academy, respectively, and they were evenly matched.

However, this situation changed after Jiang Tai completed his cultivation of the Immortal Mode.

It's important to know that Taiichi's Sage Mode is not just about increasing combat power; when Sage Chakra circulates throughout his body, it can also slowly improve his physical attributes.

Therefore, in the numerous classroom battles at the Ninja Academy, Eta defeated Yami with an overwhelming advantage, completely shattering the balance between the two.

This is no small matter. As the leaders, the failure of one side affects the morale of the entire group.

The girls at the ninja academy have suffered a lot of mistreatment from the boys during this period.

As the leader whom everyone expected, Ya Mei naturally faced a lot of pressure. She trained hard all day long, which was the least of her worries. Even at night, she dreamed of pressing Jiang Tai's face and beating him up to vent her frustration from the day.

Today, her wish has finally come true.

Tai reached out and patted Yamei's head, wiping away the sweat from her forehead.

"Well done, Yami, Itachi, your efforts have not been in vain."

However, don't let your guard down. Sage Mode isn't just for fighting; its real purpose is to improve your body's basic attributes.

I think you've already learned this lesson from Jiang Tai.

When Jiang Tai heard Teacher Taiyi praise him, he immediately straightened his back, rubbed his nose with one hand, and struck a pose of arrogance.

Taiyi looked at this guy whose tail was practically wagging in the air, but didn't bother to remind him that his good days were coming to an end.

"Teacher, don't worry, I will maintain the intensity of my cultivation of immortal techniques and will definitely not fall behind some people."

Ya Mei nodded vigorously, her eyes glancing at Jiang Tai beside her from time to time; it was clear she had no good intentions.

Taiyi took everything in, and seeing that Jiang Tai had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, he could only mourn for him.

"Alright, you guys continue training here and try to use Sage Mode in actual combat as soon as possible. I have to go to the Hokage's office, so I won't stay with you any longer."

After Taiyi finished speaking, he waved to the three of them and disappeared in the next instant.

Ya Mei stood there, looking at Jiang Tai with a flame of "revenge" burning in her eyes, and silently ran off to continue her cultivation.

Despite being the youngest, Itachi was the most mature. He looked at Yami running away, then at the still bewildered Eta, and finally...

I still gave a reminder.

"Brother Jiang, you should also hurry up and cultivate! We've been trying to catch up!"

After saying that, he went to continue his cultivation, leaving Jiang Tai alone with a puzzled look on his face.

The Hokage's office.

The brightly lit room contained only Minato and Taichi.

Of course, no one knows whether there are still people in those unseen corners, and Taiyi certainly won't use his senses to check.

At this moment, Taiichi was not as serious as usual. He had half his buttocks on the Hokage's desk, and his expression was indescribably relaxed.

Minato also abandoned his serious demeanor at work, reverting to his gentle, "little sun" smile, leaning back in his chair and appearing exceptionally happy.

The two chatted and joked around to ease their emotions, especially Minato, who also took a break from work to relax.

When the time was almost up, Taiyi finally got to the point.

"Minato, you'll never believe it, I succeeded!"

"Oh, what's the success that makes you so happy?"

Taiyi revealed a mysterious smile before saying, word by word, "Immortal Mode."

"Sage Mode?" Minato asked, puzzled. "Didn't you already know it?"

But the next moment, Minato suddenly sat up straight, the violent movement causing the chair to creak.

"You mean your three disciples have all mastered Sage Mode?"

Tai nodded, his smile completely undisguised.

Minato knew that Taiichi was teaching his disciple Sage Mode, but he didn't have high hopes at first.

The Immortal Mode depends on two things: aptitude and opportunity.

Among the many brilliant and talented individuals in the ninja world, very few have mastered Sage Mode, and even those are the relatively mature Sage Techniques of the Three Sacred Lands.

What Taiyi taught was only the immortal techniques he had figured out on his own.

I heard before that the kid named Jiang Tai had already learned Sage Mode, and Minato even sighed that Tai was really lucky to have taken on such a good disciple.

But now that all three disciples have successively learned immortal arts, this cannot be explained by mere coincidence.

This is proof that can truly be taught in large quantities.

"What do you plan to do?" Minato's expression gradually turned serious; this was a major issue concerning the village's development.

"I want to select more people in the name of the village, from children to adults, people of all ages."

Taiyi also stopped smiling and continued to explain his thoughts.

"Although I have modified the Sage Mode, I feel that there are still many shortcomings. I need more people to cultivate together and provide me with more cultivation data."

"Alright, I'll find someone for you." Minato slammed his hand on the table and made the decision immediately. "The village will definitely give you its full support for such an important matter that benefits the village's long-term development."

Taiichi laughed. Although he knew that Minato would agree, he did not expect him to agree so readily. This was the village's absolute trust in him.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on these people. Even if they fail in their cultivation, they won't be in any danger. I can guarantee that."

"Haha, what do I have to worry about with your Taiyi's immortal techniques?"

Minato also laughed heartily, but halfway through his laughter, he became awkward again.

"Taiyi, can I also cultivate this immortal technique?"
