A flash of magical light swept out, and Black Zetsu was easily brought under Harry's control. He was bound in place, unable to move.
His rage and struggles meant nothing to Harry.
Harry ignored his fury and instead gave everyone from Konoha a detailed explanation of the various problems surrounding Madara Uchiha and Obito Uchiha. At the same time, he cast a spell on Black Zetsu that accelerated the flow of time around him by several hundred times.
Only after everyone from Konoha finally understood how all the previous events were connected did Harry turn his gaze back to Black Zetsu.
By then, Black Zetsu had completely turned into a puddle of mud. His entire body had collapsed into a heap, without even the slightest wriggle. Zetsu had given up completely.
After everything that had just happened, Black Zetsu had utterly abandoned all thoughts of revenge and chosen to lie flat.
God, just who was this damned bastard in front of him? Just to wear down his stamina, he had directly accelerated his personal time by several hundred times.
The few minutes Harry had spent talking with the people from Konoha had already been a whole day for Black Zetsu.
During that day, he had noticed the abnormality of the entire world almost immediately. Everything except himself had slowed down by several hundred times.
So he instantly guessed that the mysterious ninjutsu Harry had just cast on him had sped up his own time by several hundred times.
And the purpose of accelerating the flow of time around him was only to drain his energy quickly and make him calm down.
Using such a precious time-related ability for such a trivial matter was something even the God of the Otsutsuki probably could not do.
So, faced with such a powerful enemy, Black Zetsu completely gave up.
I am sorry, Mother. The enemy is as terrifying as a monster. Even if I fight with everything I have, I cannot defeat him. Even if I release you, you would only be brutally humiliated by this monster. We should give up on the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan and just lie flat from now on.
By the time Harry's gaze fell on Black Zetsu, he had already pulled himself out of his despair. He stared at Harry in terror, afraid that this man might suddenly do something to him.
Seeing that Black Zetsu had calmed down, Harry nodded in satisfaction, then asked calmly, "Black Zetsu, I can release your mother and arrange for the two of you to find some quiet corner of this world where you can live in peace. But you will need to agree to a few conditions."
Black Zetsu said without hesitation, "I agree!"
Now that he had completely fallen into Harry's hands, Harry could do anything he wanted to him and did not need to care about his opinion at all. That meant he could only agree to any request Harry made.
Not to mention, Harry had actually said he could help save his mother. As long as it concerned his mother, even the slightest possibility was enough for him to agree.
Everyone from Konoha, who had been quietly listening to their conversation from the side, immediately paled at that. Naruto Uzumaki objected loudly, "Harry, you can't release Kaguya Otsutsuki! If you let her out, everyone in the shinobi world will be killed by her so she can take back all chakra!"
Tsunade Senju was not as careless as Naruto. She knew that the person making the decision right now was Harry. Harry was far stronger than them, and they had no way to force him to change his mind.
So, if they wanted Harry to reconsider, they could only try to persuade him gently, not loudly demand it in dissatisfaction.
"Harry, releasing Kaguya Otsutsuki from her seal is not a good idea. You do not want to see the shinobi world plunged into suffering, do you?"
Harry naturally understood their worries, so he smiled and explained, "Do not worry, everyone. I can sign a contract with Kaguya Otsutsuki. Under the contract's restrictions, it will be impossible for her to attack you again.
"More importantly, have you forgotten the Otsutsuki clan I mentioned at the end? They will definitely invade the shinobi world decades from now to take back the Ten-Tails.
"When that time comes, if the shinobi world does not have enough power, it will be completely destroyed."
The people from Konoha fell silent and no longer tried to stop him. For one thing, they believed Harry really could sign a contract with Kaguya Otsutsuki and place restrictions on her. For another, the shinobi world's current strength was absolutely no match for an Otsutsuki clan whose average member was at the level of a Sage.
Next, Harry first found Isshiki Otsutsuki, who was hidden somewhere in the shinobi world, and annihilated him directly with a disintegration railgun.
After that, he resurrected the dead Fourth Hokage and the entire Uchiha clan, then signed Lending contracts with them one by one, requiring them to work for him unconditionally for twenty years.
Finally, Harry went straight to the moon, knocked out every member of the Otsutsuki clan living there with a single slap, bound them, and threw them into Konoha for the people there to deal with.
After taking care of every living being on the moon, Harry raised his wand. A disintegration greatsword dozens of kilometers long flashed once, splitting the moon open and rescuing Kaguya Otsutsuki, who had been sealed inside it.
While Kaguya Otsutsuki was still dazed, Harry directly threw the Black Zetsu slime to her. As she digested Black Zetsu's memories from the past thousand years, he stepped forward and instantly appeared in front of her. Then he placed his index finger on Kaguya Otsutsuki's forehead, forcibly signed a Lending contract with her, and brought her back to Konoha.
After finishing all this, Harry had no reason to stay in the Naruto world any longer. After saying farewell to everyone in the shinobi world, Harry opened a dark portal once again and returned to the floating city.
After returning to the floating city, Harry created a magical clone to help him handle the city's affairs, while he himself stayed in the large villa with Gwen and Wanda, playing games with them. A month passed like that, until Thor suddenly asked Harry for help.
"Harry, my father has disappeared from Asgard. You are Earth's Sorcerer Supreme. Do you know where he is?"
"Thor, I am no longer the Sorcerer Supreme. The current Sorcerer Supreme is Strange. Maybe you should ask him."
"All right. Thank you, Harry. We will talk later."
After ending his communication with the God of Thunder, Harry thought for a moment and decided to return to the wizarding world.
He had been away from the wizarding world for a very long time this time. By experimenting with system reforms in other worlds, he had gained a great deal of relevant experience. Now, he should be able to perfectly reform the wizarding world into the shape he wanted.
Besides, after some time, the wizarding world would hold a world-class Quidditch tournament. Harry was quite interested in this competition unique to the wizarding world.
In addition, one of Harry's original purposes in coming to the multiverse had been to gather energy from the Time Stone.
Now, the magical gemstone storing the Time Stone's energy had long since finished charging. It had enough energy to last for several decades, meaning Harry no longer had to worry about hostile wizards using forbidden time magic without regard for the consequences.
Now it was time to return to the wizarding world.
After a brief moment of thought, Harry took the initiative to activate the power of chaos. As the world faded and reassembled around him, he returned to the wizarding world.
After returning to the wizarding world, Harry immediately began setting up a time-stabilizing array capable of covering the entire world.
After a month of hard work, the time-stabilizing array was finally complete.
The instant the time-stabilizing array was finished, everyone in the world who could use time magic, or who possessed a Time-Turner, discovered in astonishment that time magic had lost its proper effect. Even Time-Turners could no longer send anyone back to the past.
From that moment on, the entire world's time became as stable as stone.
That day, in the Dursley house, inside Harry's bedroom.
After Harry's renovations, the bedroom's interior space had long since expanded far beyond the outside, reaching tens of thousands of square meters.
The decorations inside were even more luxurious than Harry's villa in the multiverse, and Harry had even placed a small artificial sun inside for illumination.
Time inside the room flowed at the same rate as the outside world. When the sky was just beginning to brighten, Harry got up from his huge bed, stretched lazily, and read today's wizarding newspaper.
It reported on the conflict between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, as well as Dumbledore's ideas for reform.
There was not much about Harry himself. The Ministry of Magic had clearly hidden the news that Harry had defeated them. After all, being beaten by a young wizard was not a good look, even if that young wizard had once defeated Voldemort.
Other than the conflict between Hogwarts and the Ministry of Magic, another page reported on the same subject, the upcoming Quidditch tournament.
Harry set the newspaper aside, washed up, then slowly went downstairs.
Because Harry really did not want to live in the cramped Dursley house, but was too lazy to leave, he had completely remodeled the entire place.
To prevent Muggles from noticing anything, the living room itself had not changed much in size. However, Harry had still modified its interior with permanent Transfiguration, turning it into a twenty-first-century urban-style space.
He had also expanded the other rooms several times over with Undetectable Extension Charms. They were nowhere near as large as Harry's room, but they still made the Dursleys very happy.
When Harry arrived in the kitchen, the three members of the Dursley family were already seated around the dining table.
The moment Harry entered and sat down, they hurried over with smiles, invited him to sit properly, and placed breakfast in front of him.
After breakfast, Harry told the Dursleys that he was planning to leave early.
The Dursleys were somewhat confused. Uncle Vernon asked carefully, "Harry, is something wrong? Did we fail to look after you properly, making you leave early?"
Harry shook his head. "I am going to the Weasleys' house to watch the upcoming Quidditch tournament with them. You do not need to worry."
As long as it was not because of them, that was fine. The Dursleys let out deep sighs of relief, then began helping Harry pack his luggage. They even put some of his favorite Muggle-world snacks into his suitcase.
The next day, inside the house at number four, Privet Drive, Harry and the others waited in the living room. Mr. Weasley had told Harry in advance that they would arrive at the Dursleys' house at five-thirty to pick Harry up and take him back to the Burrow.
Although Harry felt that there was no need to pick him up and that he could go there directly, he would not refuse the Weasley family's kindness. Of course, he also would not deprive the Weasleys of a perfectly legitimate opportunity to visit the Muggle world.
At five-thirty in the afternoon, the fireplace in the living room suddenly gave off a series of heavy thumps and scraping sounds.
"What is that?" Aunt Petunia backed up to the wall and quietly prepared magic, staring fixedly at the fireplace.
Her question was soon answered. Several voices came from behind the sealed fireplace.
"Ouch! No, Fred, go back, go back, I think we made a mistake. Tell George not to, ouch! No, George, there is not enough room here. Go back quickly and tell Ron."
"Maybe Harry can hear us, Dad. Maybe he can let us out."
Then several fists began hammering hard against the boards behind the electric fireplace.
"Harry? Harry, can you hear us?"
Dense black lines seemed to appear across Harry's forehead. Good grief, did they not know that fireplaces in the Muggle world were not connected to the Floo Network?
Although he was somewhat helpless, Harry still decided to open the fireplace and let the Weasleys and the others out through the old fireplace.
But before he could act, the sealed fireplace suddenly exploded. The electric fire shot across the room, and Mr. Weasley, Fred, George, and Ron were thrown out along with a pile of shattered stone and plaster.
The fireplace had been destroyed just like that, but fortunately, none of the Weasleys were injured.
After Mr. Weasley stood up, he waved his wand and restored the blasted fireplace. Then he brushed the dust off himself, adjusted his glasses, and said to Vernon and Petunia, "Ah, you must be Harry's aunt and uncle!"
If this had been before, Vernon and Petunia would definitely have been afraid of the Weasleys. That was not only because they hated wizards, but even more because they themselves could not use magic. Facing wizards was like rabbits facing lions. They had no ability to resist at all. It was fear rooted in the difference between levels of life.
But things were different now. They were all Harry's Lenders, and their true strength might even be greater than that of the wizards in front of them. So they were able to respond to Mr. Weasley's greeting with perfect composure.
While the adults exchanged polite greetings, Ron also hugged Harry.
"It is great to see you, mate."
"Of course. I am glad to see you too," Harry replied.
After a short conversation, Mr. Weasley threw a handful of Floo Powder into the fireplace, connecting it to the Floo Network. Then Harry said goodbye to the Dursleys and arrived at the Burrow.
After returning to the Weasley home, Harry discovered that Hermione was already there waiting for him.
The instant she saw Harry, Hermione immediately rushed forward, hugged one of his arms, and said happily, "Harry, it has been so long. I missed you so much!"
Fourth-year Hermione was already fourteen. At this age, the young witch had clearly begun to grow up, and Hermione stood out even among her peers. Not only had she grown noticeably taller, but her poise and confidence had also changed a great deal.
More importantly, the girl had begun to understand romantic feelings. Since the end of their third year, she had been sticking close to Harry almost constantly.
Now, after more than a month apart, she hugged Harry directly and showed no intention of letting go.
Harry naturally did not dislike the young witch acting this way. He patted Hermione's head and said gently, "Hermione, long time no see. I missed you too."
Just as the atmosphere between the two of them was getting better and better, someone suddenly rushed over, knocked them apart, and then hugged the same arm Hermione had just been holding.
Ginny glared at Hermione in dissatisfaction, then smiled brightly at Harry.
"Harry, did you forget about Ginny?"
Harry was a little helpless and patted Ginny on the head.
Beside them, Hermione puffed out her cheeks and rushed forward again to compete with Ginny over Harry.
Watching this scene from the side, Mrs. Weasley covered her mouth and laughed softly.
