"Hahaha..."
Kageyama Kogetsu laughed, and with a thought, opened a space-time gate. Grabbing Black and White Zetsu, he stepped inside.
Space-time shifted, and Kageyama Kogetsu instantly crossed a vast distance, traveling from Konoha on Earth to the moon.
With Kageyama Kogetsu's current strength and mastery of space-time, turning the ends of the earth into a stone's throw away was nothing special in this world.
"Amazing, so this is the moon..." Black Zetsu looked at the uneven, grayish moon, extremely shocked.
"Father, how do we save Mother?" After recovering from his shock, Black Zetsu asked expectantly.
"Just watch."
Kageyama Kogetsu smiled slightly. Then, his black eye and Tenseigan appeared. His right eye stared at the immense moon that stretched as far as the eye could see, activating a divine jutsu.
Sukunabikona!
Equivalent to losing the chakra of a complete Nine-Tails, the massive moon rapidly shrank under the effect of the divine jutsu. In the blink of an eye, the moon shrank to a sphere two meters in diameter.
"Wow... that's too exaggerated!" White Zetsu Tobi grabbed his head, his face full of disbelief.
"Father is invincible under heaven!" Black Zetsu blurted out in excitement.
Invincible under heaven, Kageyama Kogetsu thought he could handle that title, but invincible in the universe was far beyond him, even just in one universe.
"I'll save your mother now..."
Kageyama Kogetsu said, preparing to use Earth Release nature transformation to split the shrunken moon. But at this critical moment, a sudden change occurred.
"Lord Hokage, wait!" The figure of the Sage of Six Paths suddenly appeared in space, shouting anxiously.
"So it's Senior Six Paths," Kageyama Kogetsu withdrew his hand and smiled faintly.
"Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, you unfilial son! Isn't trapping Mother for a thousand years enough?" Black Zetsu cursed angrily.
"Mother? You are..."
"You have Mother's aura... could it be..." The Sage of Six Paths looked at Black Zetsu suspiciously, guessing in his heart.
"That's right, I am the manifestation of Mother's will, or rather, Mother's third son."
"You and Hamura, you two unfilial sons, I wish I could kill you and scatter your ashes!" With Kageyama Kogetsu as his backer, Black Zetsu was very tough, directly threatening him.
"I see."
"You're right, Hamura and I weren't very filial, but we couldn't be filial, or our home, Earth, would have been destroyed."
"We feel some guilt towards Mother, but we have a clear conscience towards the living beings!" The Sage of Six Paths said calmly and solemnly.
"You..." Black Zetsu was furious again.
Kageyama Kogetsu interrupted, "Senior Six Paths did nothing wrong. Otherwise, would I have been born?"
"Even if it was to deal with the Ōtsutsuki clan's pursuers, it doesn't mean Kaguya's actions were right."
Black Zetsu's face stiffened, and his anger dissipated like a popped balloon. He murmured in a low voice, "Yes, Father."
"Hm? Father?" The Sage of Six Paths' expression changed, finding it hard to keep a straight face.
Theoretically, he and Black Zetsu were of the same generation. If Kageyama Kogetsu became Black Zetsu's father, wouldn't he be a generation lower?
No, two generations lower. He was a senior before.
Kageyama Kogetsu laughed. "Just an adopted one, adopted."
Nonsense, don't I know it's adopted?
But what exactly are you planning by saving my mother?
Could it be...
Recalling Kageyama Kogetsu's numerous women, the Sage of Six Paths' face turned quite ugly, feeling as if he had eaten a fly from a latrine.
The Sage of Six Paths tried hard to calm down and said seriously, "Lord Hokage, why do you want to save Mother?"
At this moment, the Sage of Six Paths still had some hope that his thoughts were wrong.
"Black Zetsu, you tell him."
"Yes, Father."
Black Zetsu repeated the reasons he had given before, except for the existence of the Ten-Tails larva.
Having lived for a thousand years, Black Zetsu had this much sense. Saying it out loud might cause disputes or accidents, which would be bad.
Other things were not important in Black Zetsu's eyes. The most important thing now was to save Mother!
The Sage of Six Paths' suspended heart completely died, his face becoming even uglier, as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
"Hehe." Kageyama Kogetsu chuckled dumbly. "Senior Six Paths, why act like this?"
"We are not mortals. Can't we just address each other separately?"
"Besides, we rarely meet anyway. What does it matter?"
Hearing this, the Sage of Six Paths felt much better. Out of sight, out of mind, although he still felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
"Lord Hokage, are you sure you want to save Mother?"
"Once Mother escapes, there's no telling what will happen in the future..."
"Maybe something will happen that you'll regret," the Sage of Six Paths said seriously.
"Hehe, does she have the strength and means to stir up trouble under my nose?" Kageyama Kogetsu smiled, full of confidence.
He couldn't bring Kaguya Ōtsutsuki back to Earth directly. Before bringing her back, he would definitely have to discipline her temper and nature properly.
Let Kaguya Ōtsutsuki know who holds the cards...
"In that case, I hope Lord Hokage won't regret it in the future. Farewell."
With that, the figure of the Sage of Six Paths disappeared into the vast universe...
Kageyama Kogetsu ignored the Sage of Six Paths' words. He beckoned the moon over and placed his right hand on its surface.
Earth and stone surged like water, tearing apart to both sides. Soon, a woman with closed eyes floated out from inside the stone sphere...
This woman had pale skin and blue-white long hair that was longer than her entire body. She had no eyebrows and a delicate and beautiful face.
She had two horns on her head, long nails, and wore a white robe with black magatama patterns. Her eyes were Byakugan, and there was a nine-tomoe Rinnegan-Sharingan on her forehead, but it was currently closed, leaving only a vertical line.
After Kaguya Ōtsutsuki floated out, Kageyama Kogetsu closed the moon and used divine jutsu to restore it to its original state, so as not to affect the natural laws of Earth.
"Mother!"
Black Zetsu was overjoyed, shouting loudly while controlling White Zetsu's body to form hand seals, helping the thousand-year-sleeping Kaguya Ōtsutsuki wake up...
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had slept for a thousand years, and her mind was muddled. It would take some time to wake up completely.
With a thought from Kageyama Kogetsu, the three of them landed on the surface of the moon.
"Thank you, Father."
Without leverage in mid-air, Black Zetsu couldn't move. After landing, he controlled White Zetsu Tobi's body to run over, detached from the body, and climbed onto Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Kageyama Kogetsu didn't disturb the reunion of mother and son. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked by himself...
"What are you doing?"
White Zetsu Tobi ran back, looking at Kageyama Kogetsu foolishly.
"Black Zetsu has his own body now. What do you think I can do for you?" White Zetsu Tobi asked ingratiatingly.
"Hehe... you're quite smart. I can give you a chance."
Kageyama Kogetsu considered with the cigarette in his mouth, his words accompanied by straight smoke coming from his mouth and nose.
"Your body has quite some research value. Go to the Scientific Research Department to cooperate with the research first, then go serve in the secret department."
White Zetsu Tobi's mood was like a roller coaster. After all, research subjects usually didn't have a good end. Fortunately, it wasn't forever, and it wouldn't cost him his life.
"Yes, Lord Hokage!" White Zetsu Tobi said joyfully.
At this time, after Black Zetsu's continuous awakening attempts, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's stiff consciousness gradually revived, and she slowly opened her eyes...
