Chapter 106: The Power of Black Zetsu
[Thank you so much, Mommmmmm, for being the king of gifts! This is the fourth one! Oh my gosh, bro, how much do you like me?]
[I'm currently in Weihai, Shandong. I wish Brother Mo good health, all the best, peace, and smooth sailing. I also wish Brother Mo's family good health and longevity. Thank you, Brother Mo. From now on, I'll send you my love and support.]
[Furthermore, other readers don't need to send gifts; your company is enough. I hope all of you are happy and that my readers will always be healthy and that you will all be protagonists in your own stories.]
"Huh? The sign of the Six Paths?"
Black Zetsu paused slightly at the phrase "the sage who is the sign of the Six Paths".
He secretly pondered to himself that he had been lying low on Mount Myōboku for hundreds of years and had absorbed the spiritual energy of this sacred place, so calling himself an immortal wasn't far-fetched.
Besides, once I pass the test, I'll become an immortal.
When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.
"Never mind, I don't care what you call me."
Black Zetsu smiled faintly in the palm of Thousand Hands Crane, his tone casual.
Senju Tsuru clenched her ink-black left hand, her body leaning slightly forward instinctively, her eyes still wary.
"Why did you possess me? What is your purpose in getting close to me?" Senju Tsuru asked in a deep voice.
Black Zetsu chuckled softly, his dark silhouette swaying slightly with his voice: "Because you are the one I chose, I have appeared here to help you."
These words sent alarm bells ringing in Senju Tsuru's mind. He took another half step back, his brows furrowing deeply: "The Senju clan has many disciples, and quite a few possess extraordinary talent. Why choose me of all people?"
Seeing this, Black Zetsu silently rolled his eyes, his tone filled with undisguised disdain: "In the entire Senju clan, there's no one more useless than you. Who else would we choose if not you?"
Senju Tsuru's face froze instantly, her lips pressed into a straight line, and although she was angry, she had no way to refute him.
Unable to refine chakra since childhood, he neglected his training for more than ten years, spending his days sleeping, eating, and sleeping. He was indeed a recognized good-for-nothing in the clan, and these words struck his most painful weakness.
"You wouldn't happen to be a spy sent by another tribe, trying to use a good-for-nothing like me to gather intelligence on the Senju clan, would you?"
Even though her sore spot had been hit, Senju Crane remained on guard, staring intently at the dark face in her palm.
He wasn't just a good-for-nothing; he was also the clan chief's only son.
Black Zetsu was speechless for a moment. His dark chakra fluctuated slightly as he said helplessly, "You should know whether I have any ill intentions towards you. If I hadn't saved you just now, you would have been smashed to pieces."
"Furthermore, you might as well try refining your chakra and experience it for yourself to know whether what I said is true or false."
"Refining chakra?"
Senju Tsuru was startled, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Impossible, I've wasted more than ten years, how could I possibly refine it..."
Even so, Senju Tsuru couldn't suppress the lingering hope in her heart. She slowly closed her eyes and tried to guide the energy within her body according to the techniques taught to her by her clan when she was a child.
[The original work states that chakra needs to be extracted; the author doesn't like to create their own settings, and the basic settings are based on the original work.]
In an instant, a warm yet powerful force surged from the cells of his limbs and bones, flowing slowly along his meridians, and finally condensing into a ball of pure chakra.
Senju Tsuru suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock, her lips trembling slightly: "This...this is...chakra?!"
He could clearly sense the power flowing through his meridians—the chakra he had been dreaming of for over a decade!
"Great! I can finally refine chakra!"
Overjoyed, all vigilance vanished in an instant. Thousand-Handed Crane sprang up from the ground, excitedly performing several backflips in the open space, his gesticulating manner completely devoid of his previous restraint.
Seeing his overjoyed and out-of-control appearance, Black Zetsu's dark lips twitched slightly, full of helplessness.
Senju Tsuru calmed down a bit and suddenly remembered the method of chakra manipulation taught in her clan. She immediately tried to gather the chakra in her dantian to her feet.
The next second, he took a step!
He rushed straight toward the wall of the Thousand Hands Hall beside him, and when his feet touched the wall, they were firmly stuck to it. He stood on the vertical wall as if walking on flat ground, without showing any sign of slipping.
"It really worked!"
Senjutsu Tsuru looked down at her feet, her eyes shining with surprise, and murmured to herself.
"I heard from my clansmen that it takes months of diligent practice to master the ability to climb walls using chakra, but I learned it as soon as I gained chakra. Could it be that I'm actually a cultivation genius?"
"Hey, hey, stop patting yourself on the back."
Black Zetsu's voice immediately interrupted his narcissism, a hint of smugness appearing on his dark face: "This is all thanks to me. After I possess you, your body will be enhanced in every way. Your chakra control and future nature transformations will far surpass those of ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Senju Tsuru immediately lowered her head and curiously examined the Black Zetsu in her palm.
Seeing this, Black Zetsu smiled slightly and then activated his dark chakra, instantly detaching himself from Senju Tsuru's arm.
Almost simultaneously, the chakra within Senju Tsuru's body suddenly dissipated, and he returned to being an ordinary person without chakra.
Losing his chakra support, he slipped and fell straight off the wall, his buttocks hitting the ground hard, making him wince in pain.
Before he could get up, Black Zetsu's dark body wrapped around his left hand again, and the familiar chakra power instantly returned, filling his meridians once more.
Senju Tsuru rubbed her backside as she stood up, her gaze towards Black Zetsu completely changed, filled with shock and awe: "Are you truly a sage?"
"Such methods are unheard of in the ninja world. Even the Uzumaki clan, skilled in secret techniques, cannot manipulate another's chakra so easily!"
Black Zetsu chuckled, his dark eyebrows curving upwards: "I'm not a true immortal yet, but I will be sooner or later."
Thousand-Handed Crane scratched the back of his head, not understanding the deeper meaning of those words, but knowing that the other party possessed extraordinary abilities, he immediately composed himself and bowed slightly in apology:
"Black Immortal, I was rude and offensive just now, please forgive me."
"It's nothing." Black Zetsu waved his hand, not caring much.
Thousand Hand Crane frowned, looked down at his body which was mostly covered in ink, and said helplessly, "But Black Immortal, you have covered most of my body now. If the elders of the clan see this, they will definitely think that I am possessed by evil spirits and will question me severely."
Black Zetsu glanced at the Thousand Hand Crane's body. Most of the Thousand Hand Crane's body was already black, which was indeed too eye-catching. If the Thousand Hand Clan saw it, trouble would inevitably arise.
"Yes, you have a point."
Black Zetsu nodded in agreement, then quickly contracted his chakra, and the blackness that had spread across most of his body was completely gathered, only firmly covering Senju Tsuru's left hand. The black face on his palm was still clear, but no longer conspicuous.
"That's much better!"
Senjutsu Tsuru shook her left hand, and seeing that only one hand had turned black, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and revealed a relieved smile.
"By the way, what are you planning to do next?"
Black Zetsu's voice came from his palm, inquiring about his next plan.
Senju Tsuru's eyes lit up, his face full of anticipation and eagerness. He chuckled and said, "Of course, I'll go find my father immediately and tell him the good news that I can refine chakra!"
"I also need to ask my father for a few ninjutsu techniques for self-defense. Once I've mastered them, I'll head to the battlefield and serve the Senju clan!"
