With her expertise and Black Zetsu's guidance, the target could attain Sage Eyes (Rinnegan) in a fraction of the time—just one-fifth of the original, by its estimation.

And once that power was achieved, capturing the nine tailed beasts would be a far easier task.

If luck was on its side, the beasts could all be gathered within a single day.

At this stage, it was all about efficiency.

"Just wait," Black Zetsu hissed, its tone venomous with suppressed malice. "The one who laughs last will be me."

"This time, Mother won't give you even the faintest chance to escape."

When Black Zetsu emerged once more, it stood at the outskirts of the Senju camp.

Its gaze pierced effortlessly through the protective barriers, locking onto the white-haired boy seated within his tent, lost in thought.

A malicious grin crept across its shadowy form.

"Hehehe... let me give you a little push."

On the Moon – Sealing Altar

Kyōsuke, declining Haruto's request to accompany him, ventured alone into the forbidden grounds, his goal clear: to visit the lonely soul sealed within.

As he approached, the cold, desolate air clung to him like a shroud. When their gazes met, Kaguya's expression was uncharacteristically grave.

"I can sense Isshiki's chakra," she said, her voice low but steady.

"Hm?"

Kyōsuke's brow furrowed as he glanced around, his senses on high alert. It seemed improbable. Isshiki, nursing old wounds and ever-cautious, wouldn't act recklessly. To come to the Moon now, with Kaguya so near, would be a death wish.

Why would he make such a bold move without reason?

"No, he hasn't come in person," Kaguya clarified, shaking her head. "But I've detected spatial disturbances. It seems someone is reconstructing a passage between the planets."

Reconstructing a passage?

A bold thought flashed through Kyosuke's mind.

Does this mean I can go back?

A bold guess flashed through Kyōsuke's mind.

With the Ōtsutsuki clan's unparalleled mastery of space-time, traversing galaxies should be as simple as a thought.

Thus, If a passage was being created, it likely wasn't for Isshiki's immediate use.

Could it be… for him?

But why? Why not simply retrieve him directly? There could be countless reasons. Perhaps Isshiki was wary of potential traps or dangers hidden on the Moon. Or maybe he simply wished to keep his involvement a secret.

Without Kaguya's warning, even if Kyōsuke returned, he wouldn't suspect Isshiki was behind it.

Does my return somehow serve his plans?

Team up against Kaguya? Or…

Kyōsuke mulled over the possibilities, but Isshiki's motives eluded him. The only certainty was that he needed to remain vigilant.

Sensing his unease, Kaguya's expression softened. Yet a flicker of worry still lingered in her eyes.

Kyōsuke smiled gently and said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

At that, Kaguya relaxed visibly. Picking up her tea, she took a loud sip before returning to her meal with surprising ease.

Watching her carefree demeanor, Kyōsuke couldn't help but let out a bitter chuckle.

Who would've thought that after all my efforts, I'd ultimately have to rely on Isshiki's interference to reopen the passage?

Still, he had a sense that the reconstruction wouldn't take long. His hunch was confirmed the very next day when his clan reported anomalies in the passage's energy.

Kyosuke rushed to the cave where the passage resided, examining the rippling space carefully. His findings left no doubt: he could return to Earth.

When the news spread, excitement rippled through the clan like wildfire. No one was more affected than Mito. Though she rarely spoke of it, her longing for her father had never faded.

Now, with the passage reopened, the possibility of returning to the Shinobi World was finally within reach.

After a family discussion, the plan was set. Kyōsuke would go first to scout the situation and confirm it was safe. Only then would Mito and the children follow.

At the cave's entrance, Kyōsuke hugged his babbling daughter and ruffled Haruto's hair. "Stay safe and listen to your mother," he said with a smile.

Mito offered him a brief but firm embrace, her eyes betraying her concern. "We'll be waiting."

With that, Kyōsuke stepped toward the swirling portal, his determination steeling him.

"Let's see what you're up to, Isshiki."
