"Mother… ?"
Hei Jue's pupils shrank, he unconsciously took two steps back, and didn't stop until he leaned against the door.
"Who are you? How do you know me?"
He only felt a wave of fear, an emotion he had never felt in the past thousands of years. No matter how chaotic the outside world was at the moment, and no matter how unexpected the situation was, he had never felt fear.
Because he is an immortal, even if he cannot be defeated, he can survive until the opponent dies and reappears, so the immediate success or failure is not important to him.
This is how he waited for the death of the Six Path Brothers...
But it was different now. An unknown 'woman' suddenly appeared and told him the secret that he had hidden in his heart for many years. He couldn't help but be afraid.
"It doesn't matter who I am." Jin Gu's voice was soft and seemed to soothe people's souls.
"What matters is that we have the same enemy, and you need my help too."
"Oh? What help do I need from you?" Hei Jue seemed to relax on the surface. In fact, he was already ready to leave this body and escape.
But because he didn't know the reality of the 'girl' in front of him, Hei Jue didn't dare to take action rashly.
"Your mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, is not a life naturally bred by the ninja world today. She comes from a distant outer world."
Jin Gu slowly said, "She came to this planet because of her family's mission, but she betrayed the Otsutsuki clan."
Black Zetsu was shocked. He actually didn't know much about his mother, because when he was born, Kaguya Otsutsuki was about to be sealed, so Black Zetsu couldn't get any information from Kaguya.
He only knew that the reason why his mother started fighting with his sons, the Six Path Brothers, was because the Infinite Tsukuyomi was used to absorb his own chakra and turn the life of the ninja world into white Zetsu as a combat weapon.
But he had almost no understanding of the Otsutsuki clan, his mother's mission, or anything like that.
This also aroused his curiosity. What happened in the previous generation often affects future generations. If he learned the information in advance, he might be able to make some targeted arrangements.
He asked tentatively, "But what does this have to do with your help?"
"Otsutsuki is considered a force in the nearby star field. Of course they will not let the traitor exist like this."
Although he said it was a power, Hei Jue could hear Jin Gu's indifference, as if the Otsutsuki clan was nothing to her.
"According to my information, three combatants from the Otsutsuki clan will rush to the ninja world in the next few years. If Otsutsuki Kaguya has not broken free from the seal of the Six Paths Sage by then, you should know what will happen then. What."
Hei Jue frowned slightly. He didn't believe Jin Gu's words immediately, but he definitely didn't turn a deaf ear to them.
But if what Jin Gu said is true, then it is indeed a threat to him and his mother.
But no matter what the facts were, since the other party said so, Hei Ze could only say, "Can you help me fight against them?"
"You can understand it this way." Jin Gu nodded lightly, "I can help you rescue your mother and rescue her from the Earth Exploding Star of the Six Paths Immortal."
"? How is that possible!" Hei Zetsu couldn't believe it for the first time. He is the person who knows the moon best in the current ninja world, and he knows very well how much power it takes to break the seal that has been strengthening for thousands of years.
If the other party can achieve this level, then why is there any need to cooperate with me
However, after the brief shock, Hei Jue quickly recovered. He looked at Jin Gu, who looked indifferent and was not moved by Hei Jue's emotions. He gathered his emotions and asked in a low voice.
"What do I need to do? How do you want to work together?"
Jin Gu chuckled, "You don't need to do anything. You have your own enemies, so why don't we? The reason why I asked you to cooperate is because we have some common enemies."
Nothing needs to be done
Hei Jue sneered in his heart, this was the last thing he believed.
Sometimes not having to do anything is the heaviest price, and he knows this very well.
No one in this world is special, and no gift comes to you for no reason. To use a saying that has been circulated in the past few years, it is -
All gifts from fate have actually been marked with a price in secret.
But even so, he didn't refuse, because even if the other party had a ghost or wanted to use him, it didn't mean that he couldn't use the other party.
Sometimes tacit mutual use is the covenant that cannot be broken.
Seeing that Hei Jue didn't respond immediately, Jin Gu just stretched out his hand, his tone was soft and contagious.
"Welcome to Gremlin."

thump
After climbing the tree, Naruto began the challenge of treading water. This time, he fell into the water with a splash before he could go far.
He jumped out unconvinced, gathered chakra in the soles of his feet and prepared to challenge again, but as soon as his feet stepped on the water, he sank in again.
He stuck out his head and swam back to the shore in frustration.
His progress has been rapid these days, especially after Angers cast the Bagua Seal, he can feel a force strengthening his body and transforming into his chakra all the time.
It's just that the rapid increase in strength makes it inconvenient for him to exercise control, because whenever he is about to adapt to the current strength and chakra amount, he often ignores the increase in strength.
Now that half of the special training time has passed, he still hasn't made much progress in treading water. Every time he walks to the middle area, he will steadily fall into it.
At this time, Ange rushed over from outside again. His eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at Naruto who was like a drowned rat. He coughed the next moment, making his voice full of authority.
"Your special training is suspended, follow me next. I will take you to a trial with Uchiha Sasuke."
Naruto stood up immediately, "Principal! What should I do if I haven't done enough to tread water yet?"
"This is also to help you better control chakra, tread water, climb trees, or other things. The ultimate goal is the same."
Angers glanced at him, then said nothing more, and walked in another direction in a flash.
Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Naruto shrugged and followed with brisk steps.
Soon, he saw Sasuke in front of a pothole.
Compared with before, Sasuke is more reserved now and looks a little stronger.
It seems that these hours of special training have made Sasuke no longer doubtful of life as before, and even his eyes have become much more determined.
Naruto rushed over immediately after seeing Sasuke and found a hole in front of him.
The cavity is about ten meters deep. The surrounding rock walls are lifted up by a layer of mechanized steel plates, and a gray stone pillar stands in the center of the hole.
Angers coughed lightly as he approached, "This is your next trial. I will arrange a layer of special alchemical substances on the stone pillars. It will greatly interfere with the movement of your chakra and make it particularly smooth. The general method is to use absolute Can’t come out.”
"And the two of you can only climb up on the stone pillars by climbing trees. By the way, the temperature in the pit will continue to rise. If you waste time in it, then I will not guarantee your safety. .”
"How about it? You two choose?"
After saying that, Ange turned his attention to the two of them, as if he wanted to observe their reactions.
"Do you even need to ask..."
Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth. This was definitely a top priority for him.
As long as he can complete this trial, he will get Angers attention. With the training of the principal, he will definitely become stronger quickly!
Sasuke in this world still has a strong pursuit of becoming stronger. This may be the influence of Indra Chakra in his body.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Naruto, then turned back, and jumped from above into the pit without saying a word.
"Wait for me!"
Naruto grumbled and jumped down after Sasuke.
… … …
on the moon
The First Hokage and the Six Paths Sage who were guarding the seal were staying on the original island.
"What, do you want to go down and stop them?"
Although the two of them were high above the moon, they both had some idea of what was happening below.
Seeing Senju Hashirama's distracted look, the Sage of Six Paths casually said
"That's not the case." Zhujian came back to his senses, shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"Today is no longer the era I was in. To the ninja world, Senju Hashirama is a dead man and a ninja who has been eliminated by the times. If I interfere in the historical process of the ninja world today because of my selfish desires, then it will be the same as back then. What’s the difference between the Holy Master and Aizen?”
If he really wanted to interfere in the affairs of the ninja world, then the five major countries would have been unified by him long ago. After all, with his current strength, there is no one in the ninja world who can resist him.
Sage mode + partial yang power, it can be said that Hashirama can reach the general sage realm even without using the Eight Gate Dungeon.
And this power is undoubtedly overwhelming to the ninja world.
It's just that he always felt that it was enough to leave the subsequent matters to those who came after him. When he was still alive, he would do his best to protect Konoha, but now he has retired.
Unless Konoha suffered a devastating blow, he didn't really want to get involved in the disputes in the ninja world.
"You and I have similar thoughts on this." The Immortal of Six Paths smiled slightly.
When he could watch the Holy Master and Aizen causing trouble, and even possibly single-handedly ending the ninja system he founded, he didn't have much psychological fluctuations.
How can there be an eternal dynasty or individual in this world
Over the years, he has seen things more clearly than anyone else.
"I just feel that the ninja world seems to be in troubled times again."
Hashirama expressed his worries
"The things currently happening in the Country of Waves are by no means accidental, but rather someone who used both hands to turn the curve of fate, resulting in a series of coincidences."
The Sage of Six Paths nodded slightly, "You are right. When Aizen was sealed, he said that there were some terrifying enemies behind him."
He suddenly thought of the yin and yang balance theory of the Shichibukai at that time. When the yin representing evil is suppressed by the yang representing good, in order to maintain balance, yin will inevitably give birth to greater evil.
I just don't know who the 'greater evil' who can replace Aizen will be, and what his purpose will be...
"So, that's what worries me the most."
Hashirama sighed, "If this time is the manifestation of evil, if we are too late to take action, then the ninja world will definitely suffer an unimaginable blow."
Although he does not want to interfere with the historical process of the ninja world, it does not mean that he is truly aloof. Once someone or something wants to destroy the ninja world, he will also stand up and stop it.
It is one thing for people in the ninja world to check and balance each other, but it is another thing to be against the enemy of the entire ninja world. The two cannot be compared with each other.
"There's nothing I can do about this."
The Immortal of Six Paths stroked his beard, "I have to monitor the barrier seal at all times and cannot do without the moon."
"It's not that serious yet..." Hashirama touched his head and then became serious.
"I have an idea, but it's risky."
The Six Paths Immortal's eyes were focused, and he immediately guessed what Hashirama wanted to say, and spoke earlier.
"You want to ask Sosuke Aizen?!"
He frowned slightly and seemed to disagree.
"Yes, since Aizen said those words before being sealed, I think he must have some understanding of what will happen next." Hashirama explained
"To a certain extent, when we fight against that person, Aizen and we may not be enemies."
Hearing this, the Immortal of Six Paths knew that Hashirama was already prepared, so he no longer tried to persuade him, but instead reminded him.
"Aizen Sosuke is a person who is extremely good at using words and deception. It is very dangerous to communicate with him. You must be careful."
Hashirama nodded, but in fact he didn't know how to call Aizen or see the other party, but he knew that it would be difficult for him, but not Aizen.
Aizen had already used the spirits from the outside to talk to him back then. Although the seal was now much stronger than before, Hashirama believed that a layer of skin could not stop the most terrifying man in the world.
Sure enough, when he made up his mind to seek Aizen's help, the space around him suddenly distorted, and then a series of spirits with blue ghost lines gathered together to form Aizen Soyousuke.
He clapped his palms lightly, seeming to applaud Hashirama's analysis.
This time, his image was even worse than before. Except for his whole body being wrapped in something like a black bandage, only one of his eyes was exposed.
"As expected of Kaz, even if I want to penetrate the spiritual pressure, it is not an easy task."
He smiled and said, "No, did he fail to guard against it, or did he do it on purpose?"
Although it was a question, it seemed that he was not confused by the question.
"Aizen Sosuke..."
Hashirama took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled
"Let's talk."
