But it won't be like throwing away trash, completely discarding it once it has no use.
Just like Might Duy who opened the Eight Gates, Black Zetsu still thinks that Aomi's appearance at that time wasn't the best timing...
If he continued to hide, he could definitely launch a sneak attack on those three Otsutsuki more easily.
But Aomi still chose to break out from the Black Water Nine Dragon Coffin and chose to confront them head-on.
His purpose, Black Zetsu feels, might very well have been to divert the Otsutsuki's attention from Might Duy, preventing the already burned-out him from being finished off, unexpectedly dying...
And afterwards, Aomi did not hesitate to use his Chakra, restoring the precious Six Paths Level Yang Release Chakra to all the injured ninjas present, bringing them back to full strength.
Knowing Aomi's 'Dojutsu', Black Zetsu understood that Aomi might just be trying to reap the next harvest of 'green water', but even so, it gave people enough peace of mind...
"Brother... no, Uchiha Aomi, wants me to beg him verbally!"
Black Zetsu thought irritably in its heart: "Must I explain so clearly? Forget it, for Obito's sake, do I have another choice?"
Black Zetsu lowered his head, speaking in a pleading tone:
"I want you to help me save Obito... When Isshiki was dying, he implanted a Wedge into Obito's body, and with the help of Momoshiki and Urashiki, they intend to seize Obito's body..."
"I don't want to see Obito become a vessel for Isshiki, I don't know what to do, so I can only turn to you..."
Aomi nodded thoughtfully: "So that's the matter..."
Even though Black Zetsu knew that Aomi at this moment was pretending, he still had to cooperate and nodded, continuing to say: "As long as you can do it, you can command me as you wish..."
"I will find a way to make it happen!" Black Zetsu, as if using up the last bit of strength, said:
"Even if, even if it means betraying Mother Kaguya, I agree!!"
It knew, Aomi would definitely make a request related to Kaguya... This demon's Dojutsu uses the emotional fluctuations between minds to strengthen itself.
The thing that could crack Kaguya's defenses the most, Black Zetsu considered his betrayal absolutely among them...
"Black Zetsu, when did you have the illusion that I needed your participation to conquer Kaguya?" Aomi looked playfully at Black Zetsu, who seemed to have suffered a great wrong, shook his head lightly:
"As my brother, I have not been stingy in sharing my Dojutsu with you..."
"So, you should know, if I've obtained everything from Kaguya, it means she has been drained by my Dojutsu to the point of having no value..."
Aomi slowly raised his hand, at his fingertips, a Truth-Seeking Ball the size of a fist, exuding an aura that could destroy the heavens and earth...
And his eyes, too, transformed into the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan style!
Further, in Aomi's eye sockets also appeared a luxurious gold cross-pattern of Isshiki, the brilliant Tenseigan, the gold, red, and blue Rinnegan patterns of Momoshiki and Urashiki...
Ultimately, they transformed into a pure black as deep as a black hole!
Black Zetsu only caught a glimpse of Aomi's pitch-black eyes, as if his body along with his soul were imprisoned here, his thoughts frozen in an instant...
"Do you still think I need Kaguya's power now, my foolish brother..." The Inflated Truth-Seeking Orb in Aomi's hand became incomparably huge in an instant, as if it was about to expand and burst this world!
But Aomi grabbed it with a virtual hand...
The terrifying Inflated Truth-Seeking Orb shattered instantly like a balloon!
Black Zetsu stared dumbfounded at this scene.
Inflated Truth-Seeking Orb! That was the Inflated Truth-Seeking Orb!
It was considered Mother's strongest offensive jutsu, but in Aomi's hands, it was like a toy for messing around...
This completely showed that Aomi had already absorbed all of Kaguya's power...
No, not just Kaguya, but also included Isshiki, Urashiki, Momoshiki, those Otsutsuki...
Unknown to others, Aomi had already accomplished the feat of assimilating those Otsutsuki powers into himself!
"I understand! The reason he disappeared for nearly ten days, with no trace in the entire Ninja World or in other dimensions, was because he was doing this!"
Black Zetsu's heart trembled, naturally coming up with a reasonable explanation for Aomi's disappearance while hunting in another dimension.
Black Zetsu couldn't think of...
If it hadn't cooperated, how could Kaguya, the Ancestor of Chakra, have fallen into Aomi's hands in such a short time?
Even conquering an ordinary person requires some time, doesn't it?
"You not only refused to call me 'brother', but you also didn't respect me, Zetsu..." Aomi shook his head somewhat painfully, saying with disappointment:
"In your eyes, am I really such a person who disregards feelings for personal gain? Or do you think I've become so weak that I need you to conquer Kaguya?"
"You need to know, everything I've done is for you and for Kaguya... If it weren't for me, how would Kaguya face those invading Otsutsuki, with her strength alone?"
Aomi took a step forward, patted Black Zetsu's shoulder, his tone revealing a rare trace of exhaustion: "Do you think that the defeat of those Otsutsuki households will bring an end to this battle?"
"I'm telling you, far from it, all of this, it's only the beginning..."
"Just like in the Ninja World, if a great nation's scouts are ambushed and killed by countryside bandits, would the Hidden Villages simply ignore it? They would definitely send stronger ninja to retaliate!"
"What I have to consider is them! It's about studying how to deal with these unknown Otsutsuki! I have no time, I can't leisurely plant trees for a thousand years like the Otsutsuki, consuming Chakra Fruits like I'm on vacation..."
"The only resources I have are the living beings on this Ninja World's land... I must find a way not to waste even a sliver of Chakra, find a way to devise strategies to gather any useful information when the invading Otsutsuki launch an attack..."
"Do you think, burdened with all of this, I have the time to torment you for amusement?"
Aomi threw up a series of questions, causing Black Zetsu's head to buzz, ideas linking together, overheating its brain as if it was being grilled by a Fire Release...
Aomi's power, capable of shattering the Inflated Truth-Seeking Orb with a single strike, coupled with such a strong awareness of impending consequences, suddenly made Black Zetsu feel it was truly despicable!
How could its scope be so pathetically small!
Yeah, having killed the intruding households, does it mean the Otsutsuki Clan will no longer come to the Ninja World, or continue to hunt down the traitor Kaguya?
The matter is far from over.
And it was precisely because Aomi thought ahead, skillfully concealing his strength and acting later, that the Otsutsuki trio was dealt with...
This is why Aomi did so much better than it!
"To face the Otsutsuki in battle, I have three trump cards in my hand..." Aomi shook his head, murmuring to himself:
"In the worst-case scenario, if I am unable to acquire the Gaia Consciousness and the God of Otsutsuki's power, I will burn myself, just like opening the Death Gate of the Eight Gates Formation, and sacrifice myself to slay the reinforcements of the Otsutsuki..."
Black Zetsu's heart jumped suddenly.
Death Gate? Isn't that the technique used by that green jumpsuit ninja, burning life?
But seeing the seriousness in Aomi's eyes, Black Zetsu suddenly shuddered internally.
Aomi had never lied to it... even about the most private source of his power, his Dojutsu that he spent a thousand years laying out to acquire, Aomi still explained everything to it.
Turns out, Aomi, who seemed selfish, was already prepared to sacrifice himself to face the enemy?
"Wait a minute! What about the best-case scenario?"
Under the pressure of this grand and righteous stance, Black Zetsu could no longer think about Obito's personal matters, decisively saying:
"Is there anything I can do to help you? I want to assist!"
