A journey through the universes

Chapter 122: Kumo

The rustle of leaves, the light of the moon, calm steps…

– You finally deigned to meet me. Tetsuya said calmly, looking at the completely black humanoid standing in the middle of the garden.

A completely black body with no holes, nothing but a pair of yellow eyes.

Tetsuya knew who was in front of him, he barely managed to contain his emotions, because he could not show that he already knew the person in front of him.

And therefore, having made a surprise on his face, he asked – Who are you? Or rather, what are you? –

Black Zetsu tilted his head while looking at the hero, yet this is the first time he sees him so close. – “I feel this huge powerful chakra even more strongly… This is unprecedented, but his is more powerful than Hashirama’s, and he is the reincarnation of Ashura…” –

Tetsuya narrowed his eyes menacingly – Should I repeat the question? –

“You don’t look like your father at all. Zetsu grinned.

Tetsuya continued to act out the role – It looks like you don’t understand me, okay. I hope my fists will make you answer the question. –

At that moment, Kuro was a little scared. Yes, his real body is far away from here, but he did not want to have such a powerful person as an enemy. – Wait! – he raised his hands – I am not your enemy, Tetsuya. Rather, even an ally. –

– Really? I don’t remember asking for a black substance with a pair of eyes. –

– Yes, I didn’t ask, but I have something to offer you. –

– And what can someone like you offer me? – the hero asked skeptically.

– Before I announce my proposal, let me introduce myself. I am Zetsu, the last servant and will of my goddess, Kaguya. I want to offer you a deal. You are helping me to resurrect the true Goddess of this world, and your reward will be strength, immortality and the most beautiful woman in the whole world. –

– And what will you get? –

– Nothing. – Kuro shook his head – My reward will be her resurrection. Believe me, I have been trying to resurrect the goddess for more than a thousand years, so this will be a worthy reward for me. –

Tetsuya paused for a few seconds for the sake of appearances, drilling Zetsu with his eyes, and then asked. – Isn’t that too good an offer? It smells like a trap. –

Before Zetsu could refute this, Tetsuya continued, “And what makes you think I’m interested in this? I already have beloved women and for me they are the most beautiful in the world. I am not deprived of power, and immortality is just a fairy tale. I will live as long as the others dream of living, I think I have enough. –

Kuro froze for a few seconds, and then broke into a smile – I didn’t think you were so down to earth… But it’s all a fake lie, right? You train all the time in the hope of increasing your personal strength, even if this addition is tiny. You have two women, but you haven’t stopped looking at others. As for immortality… no one is able to resist the desire to be immortal, this is human nature. Perhaps you understand with your head that it is “impossible” to achieve it. However, deep down, you believe in him and want to find. –

“Do you really think I’m going to help you?” Really, do you think I’m going to try to help you resurrect some goddess from the legends? Okay, let’s say she’s real, and she can really be resurrected… tell me, will I definitely get the reward you described? What are the chances that she will fulfill your word? –

– I can’t guarantee it in any way… But! But the reward is worth the risk, isn’t it? –

Tetsuya’s face became “empty” – No, it’s not worth it. While. –

Turning around, the hero began to leave.

At this time, Kuro Zetsu just silently stared with a shocked look at Tom’s back.

– Wait, wait, wait! Zetsu spoke quickly. “He’s obviously interested, but why did I get rejected?” –

– Well, what do you want? Fuck off and don’t spy on me anymore, or I’ll kill you. – the hero said lazily, yawning.

– Okay, I’m willing to pay in advance. –

Tetsuya’s face became interested, which could not but please Zetsu. – Go on…–

– As I said, I’m ready to pay in advance if it makes you stronger. Still, the stronger you are, the higher the chance of the resurrection of Kaguya, my goddess. –

– Well, I don’t know… – Tetsuya broke down for the sake of appearance, which somewhat infuriated Zetsu.

– Okay, so be it, I agree. –

– OK. – Zetsu breathed out – And so, what do you want? –

– What about a pair of eternal mangekye sharingans? –

Zetsu froze, his eyes bulging.

For the first time in his life, he was so enraged by the words of some little man.

Tetsuya, looking at Kuro’s cartoon face, sighed – Okay, let’s just mangekyo. –

But the face and the very pose of Zetsu showed that he was not satisfied

– Figs with him, enough sharingans with three tomoes… God, you’re going to resurrect a goddess, and you don’t even have a “lousy” mangekye…–

At this moment, Zetsu wanted to hit the hero’s impudent face, despite the fact that after that he would fail this mission – “I’ve been dealing with people for hundreds of years… I manipulated them, led them by the nose… But for the first time, a person was able to piss me off after a few short minutes of acquaintance… Is he really a good mother’s mate?” –

– So what? Don’t you even have that? Okay, let’s go with two then…–

– Wait! I have a pair of sharingans with three tomoes, yes! Zetsu raised his hands, exclaiming.

– Really? Okay, then what do you want from me? Tell me about your plan. –

“I don’t need your help with my plan yet, but when I do, I’ll let you know.”… As for the Uchiha dojutsu, I will bring it within a week. –

Zetsu slowly began to sink into the ground and when only his head was left outside, Tetsuya asked – Okay. Before you leave, let me ask… wasn’t I afraid that I would kill you? No, not like that. Wasn’t I afraid that I would kill you and you would fail the mission to resurrect Kaguya? –

Zetsu grinned with a fanged smile – You yourself have a jutsu that allows the body to share… And there is no danger. Even if you decide to prevent Kaguya’s resurrection, then I’ll just wait until you die and resume my mission. –

– I see. –

That’s how Kuro Zetsu met Tetsuya.

The former thought he could manipulate the latter, but unfortunately, Zetsu did not know that he was outplayed and destroyed even before he opened his mouth.

As for the hero, he really did not have any negative emotions about the resurrection of Kaguya.

The Ootsutsuki clan cannot be measured by human standards, but if you compare Kagyu with the representatives of her clan, then she is kindness itself.

Having come to earth in search of the fruit of the divine tree, the chakra of which she had to provide to the main branch of the Ootsutsuki clan in another world. But when she came to this world, she really fell in love with him, as she fell in love with a man named Tenji.

In the end, her “love”, one might say, betrayed, and she tasted the fruit of the divine tree in order to gain unprecedented power and stop all wars.

But it wasn’t just for this that she absorbed the chakra of the divine tree. The problem is that Kaguya had a very low rank in her clan, and therefore her mission was to be sacrificed to the divine tree.

In order to survive, she killed her clansman, thereby betraying the clan. Since then, Kaguya knew that sooner or later they would come for her, so the woman decided to increase her strength in any of the available ways. Not only to protect yourself, but also to protect your children and the world as a whole.

Then her own children, whom she wanted to protect, betrayed her, not sharing their views on this world.

In fact, Kaguya is a hostage of the situation, nothing more. Therefore, Tetsuya was not against resurrecting this woman…

Well, okay, also because she’s an incredible beauty and he wanted to add her to his big family.

And the last…

───────•••───────

A suitable event has been detected… You are given a task!

The task has been added!

Joining Kaguya Ootsutsuki to the harem.

Reward: Unknown Ability

───────•••───────

This award greatly bribed the hero… Still, the abilities remained with him forever.

A day later

As soon as Tetsuya woke up, there was a knock on the window…

*Knock* *Knock*

Looking out the window, the hero saw that the guest was one of the ANBU.

“I’m coming, I’m coming…” he said, getting out of bed.

By the way, he always slept naked, so…

“You might as well get dressed, Tetsuya-san. – a female voice muttered discontentedly from under the owl mask.

– Come on, I have nothing to be shy about. the hero shrugged his shoulders.

“Ah, what a proud and arrogant person you’ve grown into, Tetsuya-san. And earlier, as a child, you were such a lapul… Now you look more like a predator and a hunter for women’s hearts. –

– What it is. Tetsuya chuckled, “Okay, you obviously didn’t come to remember my past…–

– Yes. Hokage has given you the following: “You were right, Kumo has turned against us, you should meet them at the border.” –

– Great. Tetsuya spoke excitedly, looking forward to the battle – He always wanted to see the vaunted defense and speed of the Raikage… Is that all? –

– Yes, that’s it. –

“Then you can go back to Sensei. Or maybe you want to look at me longer? I don’t mind, you can peek as much as you want. –

– Pf! – the “Owl” snorted and disappeared with the help of shunshin.
