章 368: Meeting Black Zetsu (Part 2)

There are plenty of peculiar things in the ninja world, and various Bloodline Limit keep emerging. However, the situation of having an eye on the forehead is extremely rare, and this eye was even terrifyingly white, clearly distinguishing it from ordinary people.

Therefore, once Zhang Miao opened the eye on his forehead, Black Zetsu, who was originally filled with murderous intent, immediately fell into shock.

"Is this... the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan? No, even the Hyuga clan doesn't have an eye as sharp as this one. This... This is the Byakugan from Kaguya-sama... of the Otsutsuki clan!"

As Black Zetsu exclaimed these words, the system's notification tone also sounded in Zhang Miao's mind.

"Ding! Congratulation to the host for obtaining 7-star Kage-level, Black Zetsu ninja fragments x5!"

Hearing this notification, Zhang Miao raised an eyebrow.

"Only five fragments? It seems that merely displaying the eye isn't enough. I'll have to do it like this – Pressure!"

With Zhang Miao's mental command, an enormous pressure suddenly manifested, and Black Zetsu, caught off guard, was instantly pinned to the ground.

Not only that, under the immense pressure exerted by Zhang Miao's Byakugan, the entire building shook and emitted sounds of straining under the stress.

"Creak... Groan..."

Hearing these sounds, Zhang Miao instantly realized what was happening. He immediately manipulated a small amount of sand to gather beneath his feet, suspending himself in the air.

This precaution turned out to be correct because as soon as Zhang Miao's feet left the ground, the entire building collapsed with a thunderous roar.

The Kage building in the Land of Waves was modeled after Konohagakure's Hokage Building, and it was over ten meters high. When it fell, it created a massive and deafening spectacle.

Seeing the commotion, the likes of Yoshi and Kasaki immediately rushed over and inquired about what happened to Zhang Miao.

"Boss, what's going on?"

"Boss, are you alright?"

"Boss…!"

Seeing the worried expressions of his followers, Zhang Miao smiled slightly and waved them away.

"I'm fine. You all can step back. Don't let anyone approach here without my permission."

"Yes!"

After hearing Zhang Miao's orders, his followers promptly acknowledged and withdrew. Only after they had dispersed did Black Zetsu, wearing the black-based Akatsuki uniform with red clouds, crawl out from the rubble.

This time, he looked at Zhang Miao with even more apprehension. Half of his body was still in the ground, ready to escape at any moment.

Seeing this, Zhang Miao burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! Zetsu, you don't need to be like this. Just as the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face but look at the Buddha's face. I won't harm you out of respect for your mother Kaguya."

Zhang Miao was clearly making things up. Although he had incredible strength now, catching an escape artist like Black Zetsu was extremely difficult. So, he could only provide a more dignified explanation.

If someone else had said this, Black Zetsu would have scoffed at them. But hearing Zhang Miao's words, he was once again shocked.

"You indeed know my Kaguya, and the aura your eye emits... I've only felt it from my mother Kaguya. Who are you?"

This was the third time Black Zetsu had asked the question, and Zhang Miao, floating in the air, watched him from above with a smile that became even more radiant.

"It seems that if I don't answer this question seriously, you won't believe me. So, I'll tell you the truth – I'm Kaguya's.. your mother's ally!"

"Mother's ally?"

Black Zetsu had never expected that Zhang Miao's answer would be this, so he widened his eyes once again.

"Ally... What does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says!" Seeing Black Zetsu's shocked and puzzled expression, Zhang Miao shrugged and slowly descended from the air.

To avoid raising Black Zetsu's suspicion, Zhang Miao chose to land about four or five meters away from him. After touching the ground, he sighed deeply.

"Ah... The more powerful the clan, the more troublesome they become. The Otsutsuki clan is no exception. Although Kaguya is the head of the family, there are still those who oppose her. That guy is incredibly powerful. Although Kaguya escaped to this world with the help of the Divine Tree, that guy didn't give up!"

Black Zetsu was well aware that Kaguya was an "outsider." Zhang Miao's mention of Kaguya using the power of the Divine Tree to come to this world further confirmed his connection with her.

"Did you say Kaguya escaped here? So... are you a member of Kaguya's clan? If you claim to be Kaguya's ally, why did you only arrive now?"

Hearing Black Zetsu's questions, Zhang Miao knew that Black Zetsu was beginning to believe his claim about being from the Otsutsuki clan.

"That's the effect I want!"

Though he was delighted on the inside, Zhang Miao didn't let it show on his face. Instead, he gave Black Zetsu a reproachful look.

"Do you think it's easy to find a specific world in the vast universe? I only came here because of the information Kaguya left behind!"

"Mother's information?" As soon as Zhang Miao spoke, Black Zetsu furrowed his brow. "What did she say?"

Seeing the curiosity mixed with doubt in Black Zetsu's expression, Zhang Miao shook his head.

"She didn't say anything specific. Just that I should come here. But what I didn't expect was that after I went through great trouble to arrive in this world, I found that she had already been sealed, and her own son did it. It's got me at a loss for words."

As he said this, a look of vexation appeared on Zhang Miao's face, which quickly turned into one of helplessness.

"Now that she has been sealed, and my own power is too weak, I can't confront that guy. Time is of the essence, so I want to ask you: when can she be resurrected?"

As the saying goes, "Life is a play, and it's all about acting." Zhang Miao had initially placed himself in the position of Kaguya's ally, and then he came up with a bunch of "secrets" and acted eagerly to witness Kaguya's revival, aiming to gain Black Zetsu's trust.

With Zhang Miao's act, Black Zetsu's guard relaxed quite a bit, as Zhang Miao seemed to know far too much, including things that Black Zetsu himself didn't know.

So, after listening to Zhang Miao, Black Zetsu had an expression of sudden realization.

"No wonder mother created so many White Zetsu in the past. It turns out she did it to deal with the traitors within the Otsutsuki clan. Your power is indeed very strong, but compared to her, it is indeed lacking. It seems what you're saying is true, but I'll continue to observe you!"

Black Zetsu's words were barely spoken when the system's notification sounded in Zhang Miao's mind once again.

"Ding! Congratulations for obtaining 7-star Kage-level, Black Zetsu Ninja Fragment x5. From now on, as long as Your Holiness does not obstruct the resurrection of Kaguya under Black Zetsu's observation, you will receive ten of its fragments."

After hearing this notification, a smile curled up on Zhang Miao's lips again.

"Under its observation, is it? Well, that's just what I hoped for!"
