"Yin Seal—Release!"
In the bitterly cold snowy mountain cave, a soft shout rang out.
Then a powerful Chakra fluctuation erupted within the cave.
Someone with the Sensing Technique would only sense Chakra at the level of an ace combatant.
If someone with high-dimensional sensing were here, their expression would definitely change in shock.
In high-dimensional sensing, there was only one life form in the cave.
However, two different energies existed within this life form's body, just like a Jinchuriki.
The scene shifted to inside the cave, where Gojo Yoru still maintained the posture of forming seals.
Looking closely, one would find a black tattoo on his forehead.
The source of the tattoo was a blue-purple rhombus mark on his forehead.
This mark was the Yin Seal he had finally cultivated half a year ago.
Releasing the Chakra stored for several months, Gojo Yoru's all-rounder Jonin level Chakra amount instantly reached the standard line of an ace combatant.
If one lifted Gojo Yoru's shirt, they would also find a black tattoo on his chest.
Slightly above the solar plexus, there was also a black rhombus mark, the Space-Time Yin Seal cultivated even earlier.
Releasing the Space-Time Chakra stored inside, Gojo Yoru's black Chakra, which was only at the level of a veteran Chunin, also instantly broke the capacity limit, reaching the Tokubetsu Jonin standard.
"So strong... the current me is stronger than any of the Sannin!"
Gojo Yoru felt that his current state was simply wonderful.
Previously, after a year of baptism in war, Gojo Yoru's ordinary Chakra capacity had only gone from veteran Chunin to the Tokubetsu Jonin standard.
His Space-Time Chakra, due to an invisible bottleneck, had been at the Genin level for these six years.
Even unsealing the Yin Seal only barely reached the Chunin level.
After all, the capacity of Genin-level Space-Time Chakra was simply too small. Gojo Yoru needed to unseal the Yin Seal every so often, unable to store much at all.
But now, Gojo Yoru's normal ordinary Chakra had reached the standard line of an all-rounder Jonin, fully fitting his current status.
Unsealing the Yin Seal reached the level of an ace combatant, not much inferior to Orochimaru, who had the least Chakra among the Sannin.
This was just the greeting gift after the second evolution ended.
According to the all-around improvement brought by the last evolution, Gojo Yoru's ordinary Chakra would increase a bit more later.
And his Space-Time Chakra, in its normal state, was no longer at the Genin level where intangibility could only be maintained for a few minutes and the Flying Thunder God Technique would nearly bottom out after eleven uses.
Now, the Space-Time Chakra capacity was at the same level as his ordinary Chakra when he infiltrated Amegakure.
In other words, if Gojo Yoru could condense Space-Time Chakra into a Rasengan, with his current Space-Time Chakra capacity, he could cast the Rasengan twice.
If he could inject other nature transformations into the Space-Time Rasengan, Gojo Yoru could unleash a Space-Time Release: Rasengan fused with other nature transformations and still have a little energy left to use the Phantom Body Flicker Technique.
He also didn't need to unseal the Space-Time Yin Seal to cast "Hollow Purple."
With this capacity, if Gojo Yoru cast "Hollow Purple" with full force, the energy sphere's volume would be larger than last year's, and its power stronger.
Unsealing the Space-Time Yin Seal, the black Chakra capacity reached the Tokubetsu Jonin standard line.
If stored for a few years, the capacity would be even greater.
After six years, Gojo Yoru finally barely got rid of the phobia of insufficient firepower.
Intangibility and Dimensional Slash could be used at will, the Flying Thunder God Technique could be cast dozens of times, "Hollow Purple" could be used normally, and there was the Space-Time Yin Seal as a guarantee.
Most importantly, this level of Space-Time Chakra allowed Gojo Yoru to try developing new space-time moves.
But now, Gojo Yoru cared more about another improvement.
Closing the Yin Seal gate, Gojo Yoru easily condensed a Rasengan, staring at the blue-white energy sphere in his hand, murmuring, "I wonder to what extent my talent has improved after this evolution ended?"
In Gojo Yoru's eyes, evolution brought two benefits.
One was breaking the limit of Space-Time Chakra capacity, and the second was the improvement of talent.
This talent improvement wasn't just Ninjutsu talent but an all-around improvement.
Physical fitness might be among them, as well as neural reaction speed, mental agility, Chakra control, Ninjutsu development and comprehension, etc...
The talent improvement brought by the first evolution made Gojo Yoru a genius even without relying on Space-Time Chakra.
At nine, his Chakra met the conditions for Rasengan cultivation; at ten, he developed Fire Release: Rasengan, as well as basic Sealing Jutsu, Sensing Technique, Medical Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Earth Release basic extension techniques, etc...
Just as the evolution arrived as promised, there must be improvements this time too, just like last time.
This was an all-around evolution!
So, Gojo Yoru was very curious: to what extent had his already genius aptitude reached now?
Since Chakra had a "greeting gift" this time, this aspect should have one too, right?
Thinking this, Gojo Yoru tried to inject a new nature transformation into the Rasengan.
The next second, a magical scene appeared.
The white cyclone inside the blue-outside-white-inside Rasengan quickly turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This wasn't the black of space-time, but the black of Earth Release.
This Rasengan had turned into Earth Release: Rasengan.
Gojo Yoru's eyes widened slightly, whispering, "So easy..."
Even without pressing the Earth Release: Rasengan out, Gojo Yoru could feel what abilities this Rasengan possessed.
One was nature transformation into mud, forming an earth tornado similar to Fire Release: Rasengan.
The other was enhancing the mass of the Rasengan, increasing its power to bombard enemies or block enemy moves by overcoming the strong with the weak and the big with the small, integrating offense and defense.
Boom—
Gojo Yoru slammed the Earth Release: Rasengan onto the cave wall.
With a loud bang, the entire cave collapsed instantly, and the strong vibration triggered an avalanche outside.
Gojo Yoru was greatly surprised, then teleported and disappeared.
Appearing on another snowy mountain, this time standing on a cliff, Gojo Yoru raised his hand again to condense a Rasengan.
This Rasengan was completely different from before.
Normal Rasengans were blue outside and white inside, the size of a billiard ball.
But Gojo Yoru's Rasengan was the opposite, white outside and blue inside, also the size of a billiard ball.
Locking onto a snow-covered rock not far away, Gojo Yoru suddenly made a throwing motion and actually threw the Rasengan in his hand.
As soon as the Rasengan left his hand, it disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
But the next second, that rock emitted a bang, shattering stones and snow scattering everywhere.
The remaining stone body was covered with spiral patterns.
This was strikingly the Lightning Release: Rasengan infused with Lightning Release nature transformation, also known as... the Vanishing Rasengan.
This Rasengan could not only turn invisible but also be thrown like the Rasenshuriken. It was developed by Uzumaki Boruto in Boruto.
After mastering Lightning Release nature transformation from scratch, Gojo Yoru had been trying to develop this Rasengan, but unfortunately, he hadn't succeeded.
Not only Lightning Release: Rasengan failed, but Earth Release: Rasengan was the same because Gojo Yoru was only good at Earth Release basic extension techniques; he wasn't skilled in Earth Release and Lightning Release.
Even Fire Release, after developing Fire Release: Rasengan, Gojo Yoru rarely used it.
Just like Orochimaru disliked the Rasengan, this technique had too low a cost-performance ratio for someone with "Chakra deficiency" like him.
Rather than exhausting all Chakra to create a large-scale fire tornado, it was better to use this Chakra for Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Earth Release basic extension techniques.
But now, the Rasengan, which had almost been abandoned by Gojo Yoru, could easily be injected with Earth Release nature transformation and Lightning Release nature transformation.
This wasn't because Gojo Yoru's nature transformation improved, but because his Chakra control reached a new realm.
"Too easy, too outrageous..."
This realm was so strong that even Gojo Yoru found it incredible.
Even controlling Chakra nature transformation to merge into the irregularly high-speed rotating Rasengan was so easy.
Then simply using it to cast Ninjutsu, wouldn't he be able to easily learn all Ninjutsu below S-rank?
With such Chakra control, Gojo Yoru's future learning of Five Elements Ninjutsu, cultivating nature transformation from scratch, improving nature transformation and shape transformation attainments, developing basic extension techniques, and even Sensing Technique, Genjutsu, Sealing Jutsu, Medical Ninjutsu... would yield twice the result with half the effort.
And Chakra control was just one of the talents!
This evolution not only broke the limit of Space-Time Chakra capacity but also turned Gojo Yoru from a genius into... a super genius.
"Perhaps that move... I can also try to develop."
Gojo Yoru suddenly raised his right index finger.
On the fingertip, wisps of blue-white cyclone appeared, gradually condensing into a marble-sized energy sphere.
This energy sphere, like the Lightning Release: Rasengan just now, was white outside and blue inside.
The main reason for this phenomenon was that the white and blue energies were wrapped in high-frequency lightning energy.
This energy would produce a space jump effect, causing the energy sphere not only to be thrown but also to form a visual "disappearance" phenomenon.
However, the next second, the blue inside this white-outside-blue-inside energy sphere was replaced by black.
The black spread at extremely fast speed, filling the entire interior of the energy sphere in the blink of an eye.
The constantly compressed black energy merged with the white outer wall, causing the energy outer wall to turn red.
The originally white-outside-blue-inside energy sphere had turned into a black-red energy sphere.
"The talent gap is truly an invisible but despairing chasm!"
Gojo Yoru sighed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
Once upon a time, injecting just a trace of Space-Time Chakra into the Rasengan caused the energy sphere to lose balance.
And ten days ago, he needed to unseal the Yin Seal and use the characteristics of this technique to compress almost all Space-Time Chakra to condense a Space-Time energy sphere.
But now, Gojo Yoru didn't need to rely on the characteristics of the Yin Seal. He could easily merge ordinary Chakra and Lightning Release nature transformation to form a Lightning Release energy sphere, then inject Space-Time Chakra into the Lightning Release energy sphere, compressing the three into such an energy sphere.
"The prototype is preliminarily completed. Next is improving shape transformation, and I can develop multiple usages."
Gojo Yoru made a shooting posture, aiming the energy sphere at the mountain wall not far away.
A wind vortex suddenly erupted from Gojo Yoru's palm and forearm, blowing his black coat rustling.
This wasn't Wind Release, but... Chakra Burst, which Gojo Yoru hadn't learned before.
Under the thrust of Chakra Burst, the black-red energy sphere on his fingertip shot out instantly.
Boom—
A loud noise like a thunderbolt from a clear sky exploded, and dazzling black-red light blossomed at the mountain wall.
When the light dissipated, a huge circular gap with smooth edges and spiral patterns inside appeared on the mountain wall.
Unlike the Lightning Release: Rasengan just now, which shattered the rocky mountain and snowflakes into pieces, the power of this explosion was similar to the annihilation of "Hollow Purple," turning that part of the mountain and snow into nothingness.
This prototype move was currently a weakened version of "Hollow Purple," with very low consumption.
Although small in volume and slow in speed, its power was equally fatal.
And unlike "Hollow Purple," which used distorted space to hurt people, this energy sphere compressed from ordinary Chakra, Lightning Release nature transformation, and Space-Time Chakra possessed explosive power.
This explosion was a space-time bomb, just like the Dimensional Slash... death upon contact.
If not for the shortcoming of slow speed, the lethality of this move would be even more amazing than "Hollow Purple," with super high cost-performance ratio.
Looking at the snow-white mountain area, Gojo Yoru suddenly opened his arms, laughing and sighing with immense pleasure: "The world of geniuses is truly wonderful!"
...
After feeling the all-around improvement brought by the second evolution, Gojo Yoru didn't return to the battlefield immediately but returned to Konan's residence.
At this moment, Konan was still catching up on sleep.
Knowing the girl hadn't slept for a day, Gojo Yoru felt gratified that his efforts weren't wasted.
A cute girl was already likable.
A precocious girl who knew how to take care of people was even more lovable.
If he didn't already have plans for Konan, Gojo Yoru really wanted to bring her back to Konoha for cultivation.
With her talent and personality, she could definitely get along peacefully with Uzumaki Kushina. In the future, both girls would be his wings... oh no, slip of the tongue... his right and left hands.
Refining Chakra and testing talent improvement took several hours.
It was almost dusk now.
So, Gojo Yoru checked the ingredients in the refrigerator. Finding them sufficient, he didn't go out to resupply but took out some ingredients to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Konan.
Perhaps she had slept enough, or the noise outside woke her up.
Konan soon came out from inside, her small face serious: "Yoru-sama, you just recovered. Please rest outside; let me handle dinner."
"Don't worry, I've fully recovered."
Gojo Yoru pinched Konan's small face and smiled: "You worked hard all day. Let me make a meal to reward you properly. Go wash up quickly; this is an order."
"...Yes."
Konan observed Gojo Yoru's face and found it indeed as he said, so she nodded obediently.
When she came out, Gojo Yoru was making the last dish, and she didn't even have a chance to help.
During dinner, Gojo Yoru said to Konan, "Konan, in a while, I might have a mission for you."
"What mission?" Konan immediately put down her chopsticks, waiting for Gojo Yoru's next words.
Gojo Yoru smiled and said, "Eat first, I'll tell you after eating."
"Yes."
Dinner ended.
After Konan washed the dishes and came to Gojo Yoru.
Gojo Yoru formed a hand seal, releasing invisible Yin Release Chakra towards Konan, pulling her into a Genjutsu world to converse with her inside.
Ten days ago, Gojo Yoru's Genjutsu attainment couldn't achieve this level at all.
His Genjutsu talent was very average. Having obtained Genjutsu: Bringer of Darkness Technique for more than a year, he still hadn't learned this Forbidden Jutsu.
Even some relatively advanced Genjutsu passed down by the Gojo family, Gojo Yoru hadn't mastered yet.
But now, Gojo Yoru could easily pull Konan into a Genjutsu world for spiritual communication.
The scene in the Genjutsu world was exactly the same as the living room.
Gojo Yoru raised his hand to rub Konan's head and asked with a smile, "Konan, are you afraid of danger?"
"Afraid, but if I can help Yoru-sama, then I'm not afraid." Konan answered honestly, her determined eyes just like Haku and Kaguya Kimimaro.
After more than a year of getting along, under Gojo Yoru's meticulous care, Konan's heart had long been shaped by him.
Even if her parents were still around, her living conditions were far inferior to now; her family didn't even have the funds to send her to the Ninja Academy.
If not for the paper flower back then coincidentally attracting Gojo Yoru's gaze, creating a bond between the two...
Konan, who escaped from Amegakure, might have starved to death long ago.
Even if not starved to death, she would be a wandering orphan with no home.
How could she have a warm bed, a house better than her original home, and a full sense of security like now?
The more she understood the common sense of the Ninja World, the greater Konan felt Gojo Yoru's kindness was.
Especially after she started learning Hiden techniques and achieved some results, Gojo Yoru finally held nothing back, giving Konan the Gojo family's Five Elements Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, and even some Sealing Jutsu copied from Uzumaki Kushina.
The heart of a war orphan was already sensitive and lacking love.
Under Gojo Yoru's offensive, Konan was long devoted to him.
If Gojo Yoru encountered danger, and heaven gave her a choice to save Gojo Yoru by sacrificing herself, Konan would choose to sacrifice herself without hesitation.
She was afraid of danger, of course; this was human nature.
But Konan was more afraid of losing Gojo Yoru's "love" and her own value.
She was Gojo Yoru's subordinate. Doing things for Yoru-sama was the meaning of her existence; Konan thought so.
She dared not imagine the despair of being abandoned by Gojo Yoru.
As long as she could help Gojo Yoru, even if it meant climbing a mountain of swords or plunging into a sea of fire, she wouldn't fear.
Gojo Yoru naturally didn't know Konan had brainwashed herself to this extent; otherwise, he would definitely sigh like Chen Daozai: I indeed didn't shame my teacher.
"Great eyes."
Looking at the determined girl, Gojo Yoru first praised with a smile, then his expression gradually became serious: "Don't worry, as long as you act well, there won't be any danger. However, this is a long-term mission. You might need to stay in the Land of Rain for a long time and rarely see me. Have you really decided?"
"I hope you speak from your heart. If you are really afraid or don't want to go, I can change the plan and give you a few more years to grow."
With the last sentence, Gojo Yoru looked at Konan seriously.
Hearing she would be separated from Gojo Yoru for a long time and unable to meet, Konan felt very reluctant.
Thinking again, if Gojo Yoru needed her, so young, to execute a long-term mission, that mission must be very important to Yoru-sama.
Thus, Konan nodded vigorously: "Yoru-sama, I have decided. Please give your orders."
"Good."
Gojo Yoru said no more and told Konan his plan.
He waved his hand, and the living room scene instantly changed to the rocky mountain area of the Land of Rain.
A boy with short red hair covering his eyes came into Konan's view.
As if noticing Konan's gaze, the red-haired boy suddenly looked up, revealing the eyes under his bangs, startling Konan.
Not scared by the opponent's eyes, but Konan remembered a story Gojo Yoru told her over the past year.
Konan pointed at the child and looked up at Gojo Yoru: "Yoru-sama, his eyes..."
Gojo Yoru nodded: "Correct, his eyes are the eyes of the Sage of Six Paths in myths, the head of the legendary Three Great Dojutsu... the Rinnegan."
Konan's eyes were filled with disbelief: "Th... isn't that a myth?"
"No, the Sage of Six Paths really existed, and the legends of the Three Great Dojutsu are also true." Gojo Yoru smiled. "Now this Rinnegan possessor is in the Land of Rain."
Konan instantly realized her mission might be related to this Rinnegan possessor.
She quickly calmed her emotions and looked at Gojo Yoru in confusion: "Yoru-sama, what do you want me to do?"
"His Rinnegan hasn't awakened yet, and he hasn't become a ninja; he's just an ordinary child." Gojo Yoru stared into Konan's eyes, saying word by word, "I want you to return to the Land of Rain, find him, and train him into your subordinate."
Konan was even more confused: "Yoru-sama, since he is still an ordinary person, why don't you take him away and cultivate him yourself?"
"Good question. This is the danger I mentioned."
Gojo Yoru waved his hand again, and the scene changed abruptly once more.
A black and white creature resembling an anthropomorphic pitcher plant appeared in Konan's vision again.
Strangely, this creature only had an upper body, while the lower body seemed to have dived underground using Earth Release.
Gojo Yoru's next words resolved Konan's doubts: "There has always been this kind of creature monitoring him nearby. As for who is behind the scenes, I cannot tell you for now. This creature possesses a technique that can merge with the earth and vegetation, making his Chakra undetectable by anyone, moving at high speed underground ignoring barriers, and absorbing others' Chakra to transform into their appearance, indistinguishable even to the most familiar people."
"If I approach that child, the person behind the scenes will definitely act against me. This is also why I disguise myself and hide my Chakra every time I come to find you."
"Only a child of the same age approaching him will make the person behind the scenes and those creatures responsible for monitoring him relax their vigilance and not interfere with his social interactions and growth."
"So that's how it is." Konan suddenly realized.
Gojo Yoru looked down at Konan and said seriously: "Konan, I ask you one last time, are you afraid? If you are afraid and don't want to go, I can change the plan, give you a few more years to grow, and then use other methods to let you approach this Rinnegan possessor."
Precocious Konan suddenly interjected: "But by then, I won't be able to train him into a subordinate, only go undercover by his side, right?"
"Correct."
Seeing Gojo Yoru nod, Konan revealed a sweet smile, her eyes still firm: "Yoru-sama, please teach me what to do. I will definitely not disappoint you."
"Are you sure?"
"Mhm!"
"Good."
Gojo Yoru began to teach Konan how to approach, guide, and cultivate Nagato, and how to fabricate a fortuitous journey from a war orphan to a ninja who was even developing Hiden techniques.
Konan was the same age as Nagato. Her strength was too weak; she could only teach Nagato ninja basics and some mainstream low-level Five Elements Ninjutsu. Moreover, she was a war orphan from Amegakure herself.
Uchiha Madara, who must have left some backup on Nagato, would definitely not scrutinize a peer appearing beside Nagato, and would even be happy to see someone introduce Nagato to the path of a ninja.
Without the Six Paths Technique and Yin-Yang Release, even if Nagato triggered the Rinnegan's power, it would only be an unconscious release of some Six Paths power.
Unless his talent was ridiculously strong, mastering that Six Paths power without a teacher just through unconscious release.
Before Uchiha Madara cut off the tube connected to the Gedo Statue, Nagato couldn't summon the Gedo Statue even if he went berserk.
For Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, Konan cultivating Nagato was just children playing house.
If the two formed a bond, it would fit their intentions perfectly. In the future, they could use Konan to guide Nagato's darkening, thereby using the Rinne Rebirth Technique to revive Uchiha Madara.
This was the result deduced by Gojo Yoru using the transmigrator's knowledge of the plot and understanding of those important characters' personalities.
As long as Konan didn't reveal any flaws, there would be no problem.
As for why Gojo Yoru sent Konan to approach Nagato and take him as a subordinate?
The reason was simple: human greed.
The essence of greed is insatiable desire.
Before awakening the space-time ability, Gojo Yoru's ultimate plan was just to be satisfied with becoming an enhanced version of Six Paths Obito.
For this, he was willing to stop being human, becoming a stitched monster mixing various Kekkei Genkai and Hiden techniques.
After awakening the space-time ability, being a Pseudo-Six Paths level powerhouse could no longer satisfy Gojo Yoru.
His goal became breaking the limit of Space-Time Chakra capacity, looking forward to the arrival of the second evolution every year. After multiple disappointments, he even came up with the [Cell Renewal Cycle Theory] as an excuse.
Now the [Cell Renewal Cycle Theory] was confirmed. Evolution happened every six years, each time updating a portion of cells into special cells capable of extracting space-time power, and bringing all-around improvement to his body. This was the ladder to godhood.
Just by following the steps, he could become the strongest in the Ninja World, or even one of the strongest in the universe.
However... Gojo Yoru was still not satisfied.
Because he didn't know if such evolution could increase his lifespan.
Could his lifespan last until the moment he became a god?
Besides, having obtained god-like power, who would be willing to possess it for only a few decades or over a hundred years?
Thus, Gojo Yoru developed a new desire.
That is, after humans stand at the peak, they will inevitably fantasize about... immortality.
Gojo Yoru was a rational person.
If he had transmigrated to ancient times or just a low-martial world, he wouldn't crave such illusory things.
But as it happened, he transmigrated to a 2D world, and the Naruto world which had given birth to supreme existences suspected of transcending this dimension.
Pure-blooded Otsutsuki clan members, whether high-status superiors or low-status followers and servants, had lifespans starting from a thousand years.
Even Black Zetsu, the incarnation of Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, lived for a thousand years.
And Kaguya Otsutsuki was just a subordinate of Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Chakra Fruits, and pills refined from Chakra Fruits, could increase human lifespan and power.
In this Ninja World, anyone possessing Chakra was just a bug sucking the juice of the Divine Tree after it fell.
Whether natives or transmigrators, they would inevitably have to deal with the Divine Tree and Otsutsuki in the future.
To deal with them, one must master the ultimate Dojutsu as a threshold, that is... the Rinnegan and Tenseigan.
The reason Gojo Yoru's original game strategy was to become a stitched monster was to give himself the capital to transplant the Rinnegan.
Now with space-time ability, Gojo Yoru naturally wouldn't transplant the Rinnegan anymore, but he couldn't leave the Rinnegan alone either.
He had already changed Konan's fate. If the "fate" between Yahiko and Nagato still existed, the latter would definitely still be influenced by the former.
If the fate was broken, Nagato would be a runaway wild horse. After obtaining the Six Paths Technique and Yin-Yang Release, he would become a non-disabled, enhanced version of Nagato.
That was a Super Kage level combatant out of control!
Gojo Yoru absolutely wouldn't allow this situation to occur.
He evolved only once every six years, while Nagato could master six nature transformations in one year. The Six Paths of Pain, just created, could instantly kill the aging Hanzo the Salamander.
The Preta Path was a natural nemesis to Uzumaki Kushina.
If Gojo Yoru couldn't instantly kill Nagato, the latter would target Uzumaki Kushina.
The more Tailed Beasts he captured, the stronger his strength would be. A healthy Nagato wasn't some Super Kage level gatekeeper.
Moreover, compared to killing Nagato, Gojo Yoru preferred to use him.
Because he was a transmigrator, he understood Nagato's personality and was confident in turning this future Super Kage level powerhouse into his sharp blade, obtaining everything he wanted without affecting his main body's reputation and life.
In this plan, Konan was the absolute core.
In fact, the reason Gojo Yoru didn't go out personally was still because of the Slug Sage's warning.
Since even the Slug Sage could discover the Space-Time Chakra in his body, Gojo Yoru found it hard not to suspect that Black Zetsu could also discover the Space-Time Chakra in his body.
No matter what he turned into, unless he could stay intangible, merging into real space so that no sensing could discover his Chakra...
Otherwise, as long as he was exposed for a second, the black Space-Time Chakra in his body would be his label, his nameplate.
Before solving this problem, Gojo Yoru wouldn't approach Nagato.
And Konan was his spokesperson.
Uchiha Madara couldn't guide Nagato's darkening; his time was running out.
He would definitely find a suitable spokesperson in the Uchiha Clan like in the original work, then guide the other party to darken. That would be a matter for the Third Great Ninja War.
By the time he was eighteen, Gojo Yoru would evolve again.
By then, he would have the capital to turn from a pawn into a player.
