At the same time, Yotsuki Seiji also released the seals on the five tailed beasts, and the corrupted Hashirama also released the chakra of four tailed beasts.
Chains were put around the necks of these tailed beasts, and one by one, they were stuffed into the golem's mouth while wailing.
The chakra of the nine-tailed beast fused into the Gedo Mazo, causing the Mazo's body to swell and deform violently, its skin cracking inch by inch.
In the end, the demonic statue of the heretic completely transformed into a towering tree with twisted branches...
Did the tree appear first?
With soil dark passage.
He knew that it should be called "Pseudo-Ten-Tailed Divine Tree".
The divine tree took root in the earth, greedily absorbing natural energy. Its immense pressure made even the distant 'Night Moon Seiji' feel breathless.
As the corrupted Hashirama gazed up at the towering tree, his eyes burned with even greater fervor.
He made a simple mudra with his hands in front of his chest.
Six Paths, Ten Tail Coffin Seal!
The massive form of the Divine Tree suddenly collapsed, surging wildly into the corrupted Hashirama's body like a river bursting its banks!
His body underwent a visible transformation under the influence of the Divine Tree's chakra.
His black hair turned snow-white at a visible speed, and his skin became as pale as jade, losing all color.
Nine jet-black Truth-Seeking Jewels quietly appeared behind him, slowly rotating, each containing the power to destroy a forest in a single strike.
Immediately afterwards, a pure white robe adorned with magatama appeared naturally, enveloping the corrupted Hashirama. In his right hand, a sage's staff, with an ancient design symbolizing the ultimate Yin-Yang Release, materialized.
At this moment, Hashirama Senju floated in mid-air, his white hair flying, his white robe fluttering, and Truth-Seeking Jewels surrounding him, like a god descending to earth!
The aura emanating from him had completely surpassed that of a Kage-level being.
"It really is a fake."
Black Zetsu also witnessed all of this.
I felt a little regretful.
This world is ultimately not good enough; Black Zetsu's prestige is far less than that of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki back then.
It appears to float, possesses the "Seeking Truth Jewel," and has "Six Paths Level" power.
Unfortunately, it was only incomplete. If we had to say, they surpassed the strength of a Kage, but did not reach the "Six Paths Level".
However, the corrupted Hashirama, who had always lived in the world of "Limited Tsukuyomi," did not find anything wrong with this power.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a black eye and a "Rinnegan" opened simultaneously.
Looking down at 'Yotsuki Seiji', he spoke:
"Can you feel it? This is... true power!"
Yoruzuki Kiyoshi was deeply shaken. He clearly realized that there was a qualitative difference in power between himself and his opponent at this moment.
But he suppressed the urge to act immediately and simply responded coldly:
"Remember your promise."
"Of course, before that, I need to get used to these forces."
As the corrupted Hashirama looked at the black Truth-Seeking Balls on his body, he sensed that they were a product of the mixture of the seven chakra natures.
…………
Hinata's private room, within the Hyuga clan's territory.
The afterglow of the setting sun cast a halo of light on the window lattice, bathing the Japanese-style room in its glow.
Hinata, the eldest sister, practically tiptoed back to her room, gently pulled the sliding door shut behind her, and leaned against the door as if only in this way could she support her somewhat weak body.
She slowly slid down to sit on the ground, instinctively covering her still burning cheeks with her hands.
Her heart was pounding in her chest, so fast that she felt dizzy.
The scene that had occurred in the dimly lit alley not long ago kept replaying in my mind.
"Woo..."
A suppressed sob, tinged with extreme shyness, escaped from her lips.
She buried her burning face deep in her knees, as if that would allow her to escape the heart-pounding memories.
The fearless, bossy aura she usually exuded, capable of threatening Neji with "I'll kill you," had completely vanished, leaving only a lovesick young girl whose mind was completely disturbed by her first kiss.
"He...he actually..."
Hinata murmured to herself, her pearly white eyes glistening with a moist sheen.
She recalled the focused look in Kiyoshi's eyes when he was instructing her in Gentle Fist, and the firm feeling of his arms around her waist.
A complex mix of sweetness, shyness, and a touch of unease surged within her.
She never imagined that someone with her personality could be so impulsive and...
"do not care!"
Suddenly, she raised her head sharply. Although her face was still flushed, the stubborn and determined light in her white eyes rekindled.
This time, however, this determination was to protect this budding relationship.
"Anyway...anyway, I've made up my mind about him. If anyone dares to try and take him away, I'll...I'll..."
She waved her little fist, but couldn't think of a specific "how" she wanted to do.
In the end, she just blushed again and buried her head back, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but quietly curve upwards into a sweet arc.
On the other side, the Hokage Building.
Kiyoshi's figure appeared quietly.
The journey to and from Shikkotsu Forest with Tsunade did not take much time.
The rich natural energy of Shikkotsu Forest and the Slug Sage's permission provided an important foundation for his subsequent plans.
After saying goodbye to Tsunade, Kiyoshi went to the flower shop in the mountains.
The flower shop has reopened, and inside are neatly arranged vibrant flowers of all colors.
Kiyoshi pushed open the shop door.
"welcome!"
A gentle, familiar voice came from inside.
Ino was wearing a light pink apron with small flower petal patterns and had placed a potted plant on it.
She seemed to have just finished working; a fine bead of sweat clung to her forehead, and a few strands of golden hair playfully clung to her cheeks.
Upon seeing that it was Kiyoshi who had entered, her pale green eyes instantly lit up, and an undisguised smile of joy bloomed on her face.
"Mr. Kiyoshi, you're back!"
Her voice was even softer than before, with a hint of barely perceptible joy.
She quickly stepped forward and naturally reached out to take the coat that Kiyoshi might not even have, like a wife waiting for her husband to come home.
Kiyoshi looked at her. Under the warm light, Ino's quiet and beautiful face appeared exceptionally gentle.
The apron accentuated her slender waist, and the ribbons tied into a delicate bow at the back further highlighted her figure, which, although slim, was already beginning to develop and possessed soft curves.
Beneath the apron were delicate feet clad in white socks and indoor slippers.
"Ah."
Kiyoshi responded and glanced around the shop, where he could smell the mouthwatering aroma of food wafting from the back.
"Haven't had dinner yet, have you?"
Ino looked up at him, her eyes filled with anticipation, and said:
"I...I tried to cook a few dishes, but I don't know if they'll suit your taste."
She seemed a little nervous, gently wiping her hands on her apron.
"Ino, your cooking skills should be very good."
Kiyoshi nodded and followed her toward the living area at the back.
Several delicious-looking home-style dishes were already laid out on the small dining table. Although they couldn't compare to Kiyoshi's superb culinary skills, you could still see the care the cooks put into them.
Ino served him rice, set out the bowls and chopsticks, then took off her apron and sat down opposite him.
She tilted her head slightly, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, gazing at Qing Si, as if waiting for him to start his meal.
Kiyoshi inexplicably felt like he was being asked to choose between eating him first or eating the vegetables first.
"I'll try it."
Kiyoshi picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of well-fried fish, put it in his mouth, and savored it.
Ino watched him nervously, even unconsciously softening her breathing.
"tasty."
Kiyoshi put down his chopsticks and looked up at her.
Ino breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Kiyoshi's words.
"Let's eat together quickly, or it will get cold."
Kiyoshi said.
"it is good."
Ino nodded.
…………
At night, Ino cleaned up the dishes, washed up, and went to bed to rest.
Suddenly, Kiyoshi, who was in the next room, opened his eyes.
He looked into the shadows in the corner of the bedroom and said:
"Did you come out on your own initiative, or should I invite you out?"
Kiyoshi finished speaking.
The shadow in the corner began to writhe as if it were alive.
A dark, viscous figure slowly seeped out from the ground, coalescing into a blurry human shape.
It is Black Zetsu from this "Limited Tsukuyomi" world. Its appearance was silent, as if it were part of the darkness itself.
"Black Zetsu?"
Qing Si sized up the mirror image of Black Zetsu.
From the outside, the mirror image of Black Zetsu is no different from the real Black Zetsu.
Everything was pitch black, except for one pair of yellow eyes.
"This should be our first meeting, Lord Kiyoshi."
Mirror Black Zetsu smiled.
"So what brings you here?"
Qingsi asked.
He probably thought that Black Zetsu wanted to use him to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki.
“I know you come from another world.”
The mirrored black abyss opened its mouth.
"Oh?"
Kiyoshi was slightly surprised. Had the Black Zetsu of this world actually figured it out?
"With the Tailed Beasts being captured one after another during this period, I investigated out of curiosity and discovered that there was another me."
“Another you…”
Kiyoshi instantly realized that not only he and the Second Tsuchikage Mu had entered the world of "Limited Tsukuyomi," but Black Zetsu had also come along.
