Naruto: Hayate Blade

;

Black Zetsu appeared in the play earlier than most members of the Akatsuki organization. Like Itachi and Kisame, he had appearances and lines before "Shippuden"; and he died later than all Akatsuki members, even in He is the last enemy killed by the protagonist group. After defeating Kaguya, our audience's understanding of this character has been subverted time and time again.

At first, we just thought of him as an investigative ninja with two aloe vera patches on his body, a dual personality, and a tendency to complain to himself. Later we learned that he can be split into two individuals: "Black Zetsu" and "White Zetsu". Black Zetsu is a clone created by Uchiha Madara using Yin Yang Dun, and White Zetsu is a clone created by using Senju Hashirama's cells. They are Madara's clones. An important "confidant" used to monitor Obito and resurrect himself.

However, when the finale was approaching, Black Zetsu suddenly stabbed his master. At this time, his true identity was finally revealed. The man who played Obito and Madara around was actually the "child" of Kaguya, the founder of ninja. In this issue, let’s talk about Hei Jue, the most hidden mastermind behind the scenes.

I just mentioned that Black Zetsu is Kaguya's "child". This is a quotation mark. Kaguya's children are only two brothers, Hagoromo and Hamura. And Black Zetsu, when Kaguya was sealed by them thousands of years ago, he shot out a shot from his sleeves in a hurry. Unidentified liquid on the beach. Unlike the "sons of God" who were conceived normally like Hagoromo and Hamura, he did not inherit Kaguya's power at all, and his combat power was very weak. As for how weak Chojuro is, everyone is familiar with it, it is the level where he can be killed in one blow. Black Zetsu was born so weak but was given a difficult mission to resurrect his mother, which required gathering Kaguya's soul and chakra.

The soul is easy to handle, Black Zetsu itself is part of Kaguya's consciousness, but Kaguya's body is sealed in the moon, and the only ones that can replace it are the bodies of her children, Hagoromo and Hamura. This is already extremely difficult, and the most difficult thing is chakra. You must know that Kaguya was originally a collection of all chakra. After being sealed, her chakra was dispersed to all mankind by Hagoromo. To take it all back, only someone like Kaguya can Ye Nana activates the Infinite Tsukuyomi and sucks everyone dry. Black Zetsu obviously does not have the power to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, but he has an unlimited lifespan like an inorganic life form. He can wait patiently for an opportunity for a long time.

Black Zetsu didn't wait long. Hagoromo turned Kaguya's fused sacred tree into nine tailed beasts and scattered them all over the place. They gave birth to two children, Asura and Indra. If you can't handle the big ones, then start with the dolls. Black Zetsu is eyeing Hagoromo's descendants.

He first provoked Indra and Asura, causing the brothers to fight, and established the Uchiha and Senju clans respectively. Then he secretly tampered with the content of the stone tablet left by Hagoromo before his death and changed it to "Infinite Tsukuyomi is the one who saves the world." The only way", this section is introduced in detail in my "Prologue to Naruto Chronicles".

Black Zetsu's lie was very direct and very effective. This stone tablet was regarded as a sacred object by the descendants of Uchiha. When Indra reincarnated and took Asura's power according to the instructions of the stone tablet and evolved the Sharingan into the Samsara Eye, You will see this sentence "The truth left by the Immortal of Six Paths" and complete the infinite monthly reading for him. But what Hei Jue didn't expect was that in the next thousand years, the reincarnations of Indra were unable to defeat the reincarnations of Asura, and were stuck in the first step of opening the Samsara Eye.

Time passed and finally came to the generation of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama. However, Madara was also defeated by Hashirama. Hei Jue dived underground in despair, waiting for the next reincarnation. At this moment, a turning point appeared. The clever Madara realized that he might be defeated, so he used Ienagi in advance and used a "delayed resurrection" for himself. In the previous battle, he also bit Hashirama and got A little bit of Hashirama's strength. Although this power is very small, after nearly a hundred years of cultivation, Madara finally opened the reincarnation eye before his life span expired. The lie left by Hei Zetsu on the stone tablet was finally seen for the first time.

Black Zetsu seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and stepped onto the stage to star in his own script. When Madara put his hand on White Zetsu, he quietly possessed White Zetsu and pretended that Madara had created him. Madara had absolute trust in this "incarnation of his own will" and even said to Obito: "Just think of Black Zetsu as me."

For the story about Obito joining the gang, you can read my "Chronicle Issue 5". The three of them can be said to be a chain of deception. Black Zetsu deceived Madara into doing unlimited moon reading, Madara deceived Obito into working for him, and Obito deceived him again. Go to Nagato at the bottom and use his power to collect the tailed beasts. However, both Obito and Nagato had their own plans, and Madara was the one who was deceived most innocently. Later, Madara died, and Black Zetsu, Obito, Nagato, and Konan formed the reborn "Akatsuki". For the founding of the Akatsuki organization, you can read my "Chronicles Issue 3", which is a heart-wrenching story.

Black Zetsu is codenamed "Hai" in the Akatsuki organization. Hai hour refers to 9 to 11 pm, which is when the moon rises, symbolizing the relationship between Black Zetsu, Mugen Tsukuyomi and Kaguya. In addition, "Hai" has the meaning of "grassroots" To paraphrase, after merging with White Zetsu, he does resemble a plant.

After the fusion, Zetsu has a certain fighting capacity. This is because White Zetsu contains Hashirama cells and can use Wood Release. It's funny, Madara always thought that Bai Zetsu was grown from trees using Hashirama cells, but little did he know that these were humans from ancient times and had nothing to do with him.

But when it comes to Wood Release, if the first generation conquers the world and Yamato is engaged in greening, then Hei Zetsu can only be used as a potted plant. His Wood Release can only attack by growing plants from his body in a very primitive way. In the Akatsuki organization, he mostly relied on his ability to become one with the earth and vegetation as an intelligence agent. At the end of every war, Black Zetsu would emerge from the ground or from a tree, deliver a narration by the author, and then report the results. To Nagato and Obito. What impressed me most was the battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Itachi. From beginning to end, Black Zetsu watched and explained the battle from a distance. As a conspirator who had been dormant for a thousand years, he would never get involved in the battle.

However, an accident happened. After they collected the seven tailed beasts, Nagato personally went to Konoha Village to capture the Nine-Tailed Beasts. As a result, he was not only defeated by Naruto, the nine-tailed jinchuriki who was reincarnated as Ashura, but also wasted the money he originally planned to use. Resurrection Madara's natural reincarnation technique. Madara is the prerequisite for opening the Infinite Tsukuyomi and resurrecting Kaguya. If Madara cannot be resurrected, then Black Zetsu's efforts over the years will be in vain.

But when he fell short, Hei Ze discovered that there was another person who had the art of resurrection, and that was Kabuto Yakushi, who had mastered the reincarnation of the dirty soil. Although the resurrection of the dirty soil could only be regarded as a "fake", the script had deviated, and Madara could only be restored first. Let’s talk after waking up. So Black Zetsu guided Yakushi Kabuto to find the body of Uchiha Madara, and also used the information he had secretly observed for many years to help him find most of the dead strong men in the ninja world, and formed a super powerful army of reincarnations of the dirty land. Kabuto and Obito teamed up to fight against the five great ninja villages, just to get the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails.

After the Ninja World War began, Obito sent Black Zetsu to capture the daimyo of various countries, hoping to use them as hostages and force the ninjas to hand over the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails. However, the coalition forces were well prepared, and Black Zetsu was ambushed and faced many powerful enemies, including Mizukage. At this time, Black Zetsu had sensed the location of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, and told Obito. Although Obito admitted that there was no need to arrest the daimyo, he still asked Black Zetsu to continue fighting. Perhaps he wanted to use the help of the coalition forces to get rid of them. The "eyes" of this Madara next to me.

Black Zetsu fought head-on for the first time, relying on the savagely growing Wood Release to maintain a stalemate with the opponent. However, Chojuro, one of the seven ninja swordsmen beside Terumi Mei and the next successor of the Mizukage, suddenly used a move to free the opponent in the fierce battle. Black Jue slashed it with one strike. Black Zetsu's strength does not seem to be very weak, but in comparison, it is at the level of an elite jounin. However, Chojuro didn't hit Kuro Zetsu after he killed him, and Kuro Zetsu also took the opportunity to fake his death, sneaking into the ground and never coming out again.

Until Obito used a tentacle of the Eight-Tails and a little Nine-Tails Chakra from Golden Horn and Silver Horn to barely gather the power of the nine tailed beasts to summon the Ten-Tails, entered the Six Paths state, and was defeated by the Ninja Alliance and was defeated by Naruto. When he wanted to use the reincarnation to resurrect the ninjas who died in this battle, Black Zetsu suddenly attacked from the ground and possessed the extremely weak Obito, allowing his reincarnation to resurrect the nearly defeated Kutu. Reincarnated Madara.

Black Zetsu's magical stroke put everything back on track. Madara, who was completely resurrected, reclaimed the nine tailed beasts with overwhelming force, including the nine tails in Naruto, and entered a six-path mode that was more complete than Obito. As a Jinchuuriki, Naruto should have died after losing the tailed beast, but Minato had split the Nine-Tails into two halves and sealed it, and he still had the other half of the Nine-Tails in his body. However, when Minato was about to pass on the nine tails in his body to Naruto, the leak-picking king Black Zetsu suddenly appeared again. This is over, as long as Black Zetsu hands over Obito's Rinnegan Eye and Nine-Tails Chakra to Madara, Madara's power will reach the level of the Sage of Six Paths. By then, the Infinite Tsukuyomi will be activated and the world will fall into eternal sleep.

However, Obito is a ruthless person who wants to break Madara's control spell at the risk of destroying his heart. How can he allow Black Zetsu to come up to him whenever he wants and leave whenever he wants? After Obito obtained the Kyuubi chakra, black Zetsu was firmly held captive by him. Trapped. It was like charging money to the wrong number. Minato's nine-tailed chakra went full circle and fell into the hands of Obito, who was in the same camp.

At this time, Obito asked Madara solemnly: "What do I mean to you?" Madara did not dare to answer randomly. At this time, Obito had his other reincarnation eye. For the safety of the eye, it is best to let him take the initiative. Hand it over, "I treat you as another self." As a result, Obito looked like he had been deceived again, and walked towards Madara. The two approached and stretched out each other's hands.

The next moment, Obito dug into Madara's heart and said: "I am Uchiha Obito, who aims at Hokage, not your chess piece."

The Tao-seeking Jade Tin Staff reappears, and Obito regains some of the power of the Six Paths from Madara. Black Zetsu is unable to control Obito. Madara wants to stop him, but he is unable to use his divine power to deify him. In the end, Obito pulled out part of the chakra of the One-Tail and Eight-Tails from Madara's body, and used his divine power with Kakashi at the same time, taking Naruto and Sakura to hide in a different space to save people.

Obito's one, eight, and nine tails, plus the two to seven tails that had previously actively divided Naruto's chakra, now Naruto has all the chakra of the tailed beasts in his body. Coupled with the soul transmission of the Six Paths Sage, Naruto had already activated the Six Paths mode when he woke up, and joined forces with Sasuke to suppress Madara. However, after Obito gave his chakra to Naruto, he fell into a weak state again, and Black Zetsu used his strength again to try to seize his body.

At this time, Obito had no power left except to fight against Black Zetsu. He asked Sakura to quickly destroy Madara's reincarnation eye in his left eye. Obito said: "We must never let Madara have both eyes together."

However, just when Sakura was afraid to take action, Madara, who was at a disadvantage in the outside world, seized Kakashi's Sharingan and broke into the Kamui space. Obito used his last eye power to send Sakura out, and he fell into Madara's hands, and his body was completely taken over by Black Zetsu.

After Madara regained his eyes, he finally opened the same Rinne Sharingan as Kaguya, and for Black Zetsu, the container used to resurrect his mother was finally completed. Madara reflected the Rinne Sharingan on the moon and launched the Infinite Tsukuyomi on the entire world. Except for Team 7, who was protected by Sasuke's power, and Obito, who was controlled by Black Zetsu, all other living people fell into illusory dreams. , hung like a cocoon on the sacred tree, the "ideal world" that Madara expected has arrived. A world without war, without hatred, without vitality and without a future.

With only those four gravels left, Madara landed in front of Team 7. Behind him was Obito, who was firmly controlled by Black Zetsu's most loyal "servant", but Black Zetsu's position seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Madara. close. Madara said arrogantly: "Everything is over. As the savior, I turned hell into heaven."

At this moment, a black hand emerged from his chest. Black Zetsu: "Madara, everything is not over yet, and you are not the savior. You are just in an illusory dream like everyone else. That is the dream I painted just for you."

Madara couldn't believe it. He had always regarded Black Zetsu as part of his consciousness and never thought that he could betray him. Moreover, Madara was horrified to find that his body could not move. Being stabbed in the heart was a common occurrence for him. He had been fine with half of his body being kicked off by Kai before, but this time he was unable to resist.

The surrounding energy suddenly became manic. All the ninjas in the world who were trapped in the infinite Tsukuyomi had their chakra poured into Madara's body along the meridians of the sacred tree. The chakra that Kaguya brought to the ninja world was once again integrated into one. All the conditions were met, Black Zetsu finally merged with Madara who expanded into a ball, and Princess Kaguya, who had been sealed for thousands of years, came to the world again.

More than a thousand years of hard work finally paid off, and Black Zetsu returned to the cuffs of his "mother". As the person who recorded all the information, he was like Kaguya's military advisor, teaching her how to deal with Naruto and Sasuke. Kaguya is close to a true god and is not afraid of any attack. The only thing that can defeat her is the sealing technique used by Hagoromo and Hamura together, the Six Paths Earth Explosion Star. Naruto and Sasuke have already inherited that sealing technique, and it is very dangerous to deal with them at the same time. , so Black Zetsu suggested that Kaguya separate them first.
