In the Shinobi world, within a secret underground cavern in the Land of Grass...
With the "assistance" of a certain Uzumaki clan member embedded within its body, Black Zetsu finally succeeded in perfecting the long-distance Edo Tensei technique.
The space-time barrier created by Hyūga Tenjin? That, too, was undoubtedly its handiwork.
Ironically, Black Zetsu owed Uchiha Kyosuke some measure of gratitude. Had it not been for Kyosuke's interference, the thought of using Impure World Reincarnation to augment its own power might never have crossed its mind.
More importantly, it might never have uncovered the secret re
Kyosuke's sharp intellect swiftly connected the dots. Through Black Zetsu's surveillance, it had likely discovered the existence of Hyūga Yayoi and used her research against him.
"Great. Did I just dig my own grave?"
Despite his mild exasperation, Kyosuke wasn't overly concerned.
For most ninjas, Impure World Reincarnation would be a formidable threat.
But for someone of his caliber, unless Black Zetsu could summon an Edo Tensei Madara, it wouldn't make much of a difference.

On Earth, Black Zetsu observed Kyosuke, now surrounded by enemies, through the eyes of its summoned Edo Tensei bodies.
The reason it could execute such long-range techniques was due to a reincarnated puppet, one skilled in space-time ninjutsu.
Not only could this puppet teleport Hyūga Tenjin to the moon, but it could also track Kyosuke's concealed space-time teleportation array, ensuring his every move was monitored.
Whether the plan succeeded or failed, it was enough to trap Kyosuke on the moon for a significant time.
That window would provide Black Zetsu with more than enough opportunity to move forward with the next stage of its plan.
As always, no one could stand in the way of its ultimate goal: the resurrection of its mother.
"What a pity... You would have made the perfect sacrifice," Black Zetsu murmured, a hint of regret lacing its voice as it observed the unfolding scene through the puppet's perspective.

On the battlefield, dark golden energy surged around Kyosuke as he steeled himself. Unwilling to prolong the confrontation any further, he activated the third stage of Susano'o.
The spectral armor of the Tengu manifested, its towering form exuding power. In its hand, the Kusanagi sword transformed, becoming an even sharper, indestructible blade.
This time, however, something new emerged—an additional feature: a circular, dark-golden shield that radiated an otherworldly glow.
The Yata Mirror.
With the already formidable defense of Susano'o now bolstered by the Yata Mirror, Kyosuke finally possessed a truly impenetrable defense—worthy of its legendary name.
Crossing his arms before his chest, Kyosuke's indifferent gaze locked onto the two enemies before him. Beneath his feet, a few small serpents slithered silently into the earth, their presence barely perceptible.
"That shield..." Hyūga Tenjin muttered, his voice tinged with recognition. "It looks oddly familiar."
His sharp eyes narrowed as he recalled the Yata Mirror, an artifact he knew all too well from his vast knowledge.
"Left hand holds the unstoppable Kusanagi sword; right hand wields the impenetrable Yata Mirror."
Even Tenjin, who now considered himself invincible, couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. He realized with a sinking feeling that, had he faced Kyosuke in his previous state, he wouldn't have stood a chance.
As for the two seemingly impressive Edo Tensei bodies…
Apologies, but apart from slightly draining Kyosuke's chakra, they served no real purpose.
