Madara expressed his dissatisfaction with Obito and had Black Zetsu push him. Meanwhile, Madara went to the moon himself. After all, on the far side of the moon, Naruto and Sasuke's second Six Paths: Planetary Devastation would only be partially effective. That reassured him.

Soon after Madara left, White Zetsu, now controlled by Black Zetsu, didn't go to the secret base in Kusanagi Village to find Obito. Instead, it passed through the ground directly toward the Cloud Shinobi Village. Kitahara Hitoshi had left a Flying Thunder God mark there during the previous Konoha offensive, and a teleportation may occur at any time.

Roughly ten minutes later, a figure appeared.

"You're late," Black Zetsu said at once.

The person who arrived was Kitahara Hitoshi, having teleported to the mark he'd previously left. Though the sky was dark, it didn't stop him from stepping confidently out of the shadows.

"Just needed a little preparation," Kitahara Hitoshi said casually.

"…" Black Zetsu remained silent.

"Let's get to the point," Black Zetsu continued. "Mother…"

"She's home," Kitahara Hitoshi said. "Right now, she should be watching Uchiha Madara's battle with Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki. I recorded it and left it playing in the apartment."

"…" Black Zetsu remained quiet again but nodded lightly. Though it questioned the details, it accepted that Kitahara Hitoshi was still reliable. Before confirming the true strength of Momoshiki and Kinshiki, it was smart to use Uchiha Madara to test them. Then, after verifying their threat level, the footage would be shown to Kaguya.

Since Kaguya lost her power and became a Ninja Rabbit, exposing her to unknowns might cause confusion. She could even turn to Hamura and Hagoromo again for help, which would be a ridiculous family reunion orchestrated by Teru Yoruichi. That idea alone made Black Zetsu feel like vomiting. Powerless and essentially useless, it still held its loyalty.

Some might call it selfish, but Black Zetsu didn't want to see Kaguya forgive those unfilial sons. One good child was enough.

"This battle between Uchiha Madara and Momoshiki and Kinshiki is conclusive," Kitahara Hitoshi said. "If this is the extent of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's power, then Kaguya's raw strength holds up. She was at her peak when Twilight Yoruichi first met her."

Black Zetsu agreed.

Uchiha Madara, as an awakened Indra Chakra reincarnate, had abundant combat experience and was now also the Ten Tails' Jinchūriki. With all of that, he had defeated Momoshiki.

But even with that, his power still differed slightly from Kaguya's. Kitahara Hitoshi's strength derived from Kaguya, and even Momoshiki didn't faze him.

"Now we need to consider something else," Kitahara Hitoshi said. "If Momoshiki and Kinshiki have arrived, will there be more Ōtsutsuki?"

"If they're after Chakra, then they're enemies," Black Zetsu replied.

It made sense. Kitahara Hitoshi's Ninja Rabbit recovered by absorbing Chakra. But if other Ōtsutsuki came for the same resource, they'd be competitors—or more accurately, enemies.

"That's your job," Kitahara Hitoshi said. "Madara is on the moon. He'll block any others that arrive."

"I won't be using the Ten Tails for now," Kitahara added. "But once Madara finishes the battle, let it absorb Chakra."

"In the end, the Ten Tails will be for Kaguya," he continued.

"…" Black Zetsu nodded. It would need to lie to Madara somehow, but this plan satisfied it.

"However, be cautious," Kitahara Hitoshi warned. "Ōtsutsuki usually arrive in pairs."

"…Right," Black Zetsu murmured.

Kaguya hadn't come alone. That meant she was the subordinate in the pair. If she had rebelled against her partner and the clan, that partner could still be lurking—possibly in the ninja world—for a thousand years.

"So you want me to investigate that?" Black Zetsu asked.

"Exactly," Kitahara Hitoshi nodded. He appreciated Black Zetsu's ability to think proactively and act independently.

"There are only four Planetary Devastation seals on the moon. That confirms that whoever came with Kaguya a thousand years ago wasn't sealed there," Kitahara said. "He's likely hiding somewhere on Earth… and has been for a thousand years."

"…" Black Zetsu's scalp tingled. It had always believed its mission was simply to release Kaguya's seal.

But now it realized the scope of the threat. Whether it was other Ōtsutsuki or Kaguya's former partner, both were problems. As her devoted child, Black Zetsu was determined to share her burdens.

"I'll order all White Zetsus to investigate," Black Zetsu said.

"Next," Kitahara Hitoshi said, extending his hand.

Black Zetsu blinked, confused.

"Madara only sealed Momoshiki. Kinshiki turned into a Chakra fruit. That's yours, isn't it?" Kitahara Hitoshi said.

Black Zetsu felt like he was hooked. And the setup was very deep. It felt like the current Kitahara Hitoshi, shaped by its own hand, might surpass Kaguya. It wanted to resist but couldn't. Not even the resurgence of the Sage of Six Paths or the arrival of the Ōtsutsuki could change the fact—Kitahara Hitoshi had taken over Lord Kaguya's role and was protecting her.

It could also confirm that he was harmless to both humans and animals. Black Zetsu opened its mouth and spat out a scroll. But it didn't dare push Kitahara Hitoshi. "Speak then," said Black Zetsu. "You know so much. Don't tell me—you're really from the future?"

It recalled the speculation in the private chat group. Maybe Kitahara Hitoshi really was from the future. That's why the group had started broadcasting him exclusively. He was unique.

"Guess," Kitahara Hitoshi replied. Black Zetsu paused. It wasn't the answer it wanted, but future or not, Kitahara Hitoshi clearly knew the script.

Black Zetsu sighed. Thousands of years of effort had crumbled, yet for the sake of Mother Kaguya, it still tried. So it threw the scroll to Kitahara Hitoshi. He unrolled it and with a light tap, the Chakra fruit sealed within appeared in his hand. Round, like a Gala apple. Blood-red, brimming with Chakra.

But this fruit, despite being full of power, was less than one-tenth the size of the giant Tenseigan. This confirmed his theory. As the ancestor of the protagonist faction, Teru Yoruichi must have eaten the most Chakra fruits, reaching peak form.

Leaving Black Zetsu's side, Kitahara Hitoshi returned to his apartment. Inside, a sound echoed—"Have you ever seen an adult get mad at a junior?" But no one was speaking. It was a recording being watched by the Ninja White Rabbit.

In this world, technology was uneven. There were radios and movies, but no television. So the playback resembled film projection. Crude in quality, but authentic in content.

Opening the door, Kitahara Hitoshi saw the projection screen in the living room. On the couch stood the snow-white Ninja Rabbit, upright with its claws on its waist, staring at the screen in tension.

The moment the Ninja Rabbit spotted Kitahara Hitoshi entering, it turned quickly. Its body language suggested surprise. It must have seen something shocking.

"The battle's over," Kitahara Hitoshi said. "The Ōtsutsuki visitor was defeated by Uchiha Madara." He took a knife from the kitchen and sliced a fruit bowl. Then he brought it over to the Ninja Rabbit and the smaller Little White Rabbit.

"Two members of the Ōtsutsuki clan approached Earth," he explained. "But Uchiha Madara, the Sage of Six Paths' rebellious son, and the successor of Chakra, encountered Indra."

"This scene is from the final footage." He placed the fruit bowl on the table, poked a piece with a toothpick, and offered it to the Little White Rabbit. It opened its mouth instinctively.

Then, its eyes widened. Because what it was eating was clearly the golden Chakra fruit shown in the video. It quickly checked the fruit bowl—part Chakra fruit, part sliced cantaloupe. Ordinary fruit mixed with divine fruit. A luxurious fruit salad.

"Not eating?" Kitahara Hitoshi asked.

The Little White Rabbit instantly grabbed his hand with its claws. "Good."

The golden Chakra fruit had no effect on Kitahara Hitoshi, but it was very helpful for the Ninja Rabbit.

"Uchiha Madara is still on the moon. If the Ōtsutsuki clan returns, he'll intercept them. His strength is enough to handle an average Ōtsutsuki," said Kitahara Hitoshi. "There will be more Chakra fruit in the future."

The Ninja Rabbit fell silent.

If Black Zetsu had heard this, it would be crying. Because Kitahara Hitoshi treated the Ōtsutsuki clan as food. Uchiha Madara fought the clan bitterly, yet couldn't eat any himself.

The next day, the chat group was active again.

Today's share of the younger generation's descendants. The live broadcast began. Everyone came online.

The live broadcast followed Kitahara Hitoshi again. This time, he was at Konoha's gate. Waiting for something.

Senju Tobirama: This guy… Senju Tobirama: Really.

Hashirama: What's wrong, Tobirama?

Senju Tobirama: He went out to rest, leaving me behind to deal with Orochimaru's research.

Hashirama: Alright.

Hashirama spotted Kitahara Hitoshi just outside the village. On his shoulder, the Ninja Rabbit was munching on a red fruit. It wasn't the first time Hashirama saw Kitahara Hitoshi feed the rabbit. He often gave it snacks.

Hashirama: But why does the rabbit's snack look so familiar?

Minato: Yeah, I think I've seen it too.

Black Zetsu: So familiar. That's the golden Chakra fruit from yesterday, cut into pieces. Kitahara Hitoshi didn't lie—he really gave the fruit to Lord Kaguya.

Black Zetsu sighed. It wasn't wrong.

Jiraiya returned.

Senju Tobirama: Oh, Jiraiya's back.

Minato: Jiraiya-sensei, how's Naruto doing?

Jiraiya: Naruto and I are fine.

Jiraiya: But...

Jiraiya: Sasuke's situation is...

Shisui: Did something happen to Sasuke?

Senju Tobirama: Did Sasuke defeat Itachi with his bare hands?

Jiraiya: No.

Jiraiya: It's just...

Jiraiya: Right now, Sasuke seems to have the upper hand.

Tobirama: But?

Jiraiya: But Itachi is clearly holding back.

Shisui: I knew it. Itachi's holding back again.

Jiraiya: So Sasuke thinks he's catching up.

Senju Tobirama:

Terumi Mei: This feels like a public execution.

As the beautiful Mizukage, Terumi Mei summed it up.
