Chapter 18 - Talking to Black Zetsu

Chapter 18 - Talking to Black Zetsu

It has been half a year, since my fight with that pedophile and I will finally be 3 years old in another two months.

Ever since that fight, the other Hyuga stopped adoring me like they did in the past. Only a small number of people, like Ko, still act normal around me.

That people stopped liking me as much as they did before, led me to occasionally leave the Hyuga compound to enjoy the village.

I would either visit Itachi or Hana and on some rare occasions even meet other clan heirs. But to be honest, I don't like talking with them, as they are still too childish to hold meaningful talks. Well, they are my physical age after all.

To be honest I was kind off expecting to meet a certain blond Jinchuriki, but that also never happened even though I managed to find Ichirakus Ramen and even once had dinner there.

Just let me tell you that the ramen is overhyped. It is certainly delicious, but not on the level that blond idiot praised it to be. 'God's food'. As if. Pizza is superior than ramen.

Anyway Kaguya and I found out some things about my upcoming physical changes. My Byakugan or soon to be Tenseigan is slowly being transformed into the latter. To speed up  the process, I would need to increase the amount of Kaguyas Chakra, which I do by gaining levels.

So by beating that pervert, I speed up the transformation to the Tenseigan.

The blue color on the edge of my Byakugan sharply intesified and if you are squinting real good, you might be able to identify a flowerly shape in the center.

We are theorising that I will either have to wait for around 5 years for a full transformation or push my levels to around 15.

Which brings to another change. I can feel small bumps already forming on my head and occasionally experience headaches around my forehead.

Increasing my level also triggered the other changes and only shortened my time in Konoha.

At least there are also some good things to report.

I spend a lot of time playing strategy games with Kaguya and Minion01 and finally managed to increase my Intelligence by one point!

In the end I didn't want to spend one of my Stat Points as I can already see how hard it is to increase my Intelligence without them. So if I manage to hold out for a little more, then can safely spend my points. Besides, there was no real hurry.

Increasing my Intelligence didn't bring any world breaking changes with one annoying exception. Minion01 is growing more powerful.

I had her work on my Memory Mindscape plan the whole time and the moment I got that additional Intelligence point, she suddenly started talking about weird stuff.

In other words, there is no Minion02, but only Minion01with more power.

As her first task I had her come up with a new name for herself and she didn't even hesitate for a second.

'I want to known as Usagi! I want to be a rabbit just like Mr. Fluffykins! Then we can be cute together forever Teehee~'

Why does she have to be so childish? Well anyway at least she is cute. Not that anyone will hear me saying that about her.

I had given her new task, which was to make us ambidextrous.

During a random dinner weeks before, Kaguya casually questioned why I am always my right to eat, when I should instead be using my left hand to train. She later explained that with the 360° vision of the Byakugan, it would be a waste to not be ambidextrous.

For that reason you could see me now 'dual-wielding' my calligraphy and drawing, throwing kunai at two different targets and so on.

I turned into quite the odd sight in the Hyuga compound and even Ko commented my weird behaviour.

'Training-Monster' he called me. Well I am just trying to efficient!

The other good thing in regards to my training has been about my Qi refining. Once I managed to fill my dantian half-full of Liquid Qi, some remnants started slowly flowing into my blood cells.

The Liquid Qi seems to be changing my blood slowly or something and I noticed how I can keep my breath longer or keep running more laps.

That whole thing kind of reminds me how in other novels you would see people 'cleansing' their marrow and so on to have their body adapt to a higher level of Qi. So am I doing something like Body Refining now?

Anyway 400 more physical energy and my dantian will be full and I should have reached the limit of my current Qi refining. I should probably start looking for ways to also do Body Refining.

So here I am sitting in front of our koi pond and contemplating past events.

Until Kaguya starts nagging again.

'Hey~ When do you plan to contact Black Zetsu?'

'*sigh* it is not that simple. I have to convince that I am in fact your champion, then try to reason with him to get me out of Konoha. And I am just little bit nervous.'

'Just do it. You will be surprised how easy it is to talk to Zetsu. He is a good boy after all.'

You might be reading a pirated copy. Look for the official release to support the author.

Good boy...

'Oh and don't forget to show me the memory of that hawaii pizza again. The fruit you called pineapple is really delicious!'

'Yes. Yes. I will have Usagi show you to my food memories. Then you will have free access as much as you want.'

'Even to cakes? Especially cheesecakes?'

'Yes~'

'Oh~ how delightful~ You are truly the perfect champion.'

Anyway back to meditating and somehow connecting to Black Zetsu.

After some time I can feel my spiritual energy slowly moving and find myself in a completely blank world. That kind of reminds me of my death actually.

"Mother?"

Seriously. Black Zetsu is really behaving like a small boy?

"Mother is that you?"

"No. I am your mothers champion, Hinata."

"Why do you feel like mother?"

"She gave me part of her chakra so that I can contact you for her eventual revival."

"I knew it! Mother is a genius."

Is this real? Where is sick and twisted cannibal Zetsu, that wouldn't hesitate to stuff his belly full of human cadaver. The same person that would instigate a massive war and kill thousands. Wait.

"Are you White Zetsu?"

"OOOH! How did you know?"

"First off you are white and not black."

I am utterly fucking retarded.

"You are so intelligent. Just like mother, hihihi."

"...Where is Black Zetsu?"

"I am right behind you, Princess."

HOLY-

"Oh~ Are you scared Princess?"

That fucking grin is terrifying!

"Me? No way."

"Ah of course. My mothers champion would never be a little wimp."

Damn you and your stupid grin.

"Of course. I assume you already know about my conversation with White Zetsu?"

"Yes~"

"May I know how Kaguyas revival is progressing?"

"Hm~ you may."

"...I am waiting."

"Ah right. White Zetsu please explain our Princess what we have been up to lately."

That damn Black Zetsu. He is probably trying to unnerve me and analyze my actions to get a read on me. I knew that he was supposed to be a good tactician and even more important one of the most cunning people on the Elemental Nations. How would he instigate a massive war otherwise?

"Ah ah ok! So~ We found that dumb Uchiha years ago and are using him to control the Mizukage. He also attacked Konoha with the Kyuubi! I forgot why in the end, but who cares~ Black always knows why so I don't need to teehee~"

"You started the Kyuubi attack?" Not that I already knew it.

"Yes yes! So many people died and it was delicious!"

"Hm." I look at Black Zetsu. "May I know why you attacked Konoha with the Kyuubi? Are you just weakening them? Or is there another reason?" I already know why, but I still have to fake some stuff.

"The way you look, you seem to already have a good guess don't you?"

"Weakening Konoha, by killing the 4th. Hokage and half of their shinobi, will make it easier for the other nations to attack Konoha. Then there is also the fact, that the new Jinchuriki is probably a child, which means Konoha loses even more of its power and then we have potentially internal power struggles. Who will be the new Hokage? How long can the 3rd. Hokage keep his seat? Will there be clan in Konoha that will try to usurp the seat of Hokage? I could see the elders of my own clan harboring intents to grab the Hokages hat.

Is there anything to add Black?"

His stupid got wider and wider with each passing sentence. To be honest I am lucky to have my background information, but I also noticed that my increasing mental stats started to influence my thinking process. It is easier to connect facts to each other and come up with reasonable theories. Of course it is also affected by the massive information I have.

"Interesting. You might have misjudged you. You might look like a child, but mother truly chose an interesting person. I will help with whatever is troubling you, otherwise you wouldn't have contacted me so early."

How did he come up with that idea?

"I need to leave Konoha, but I want to do so that would imply further conflict between two villages. I am currently waiting for the perfect time and wanted to know more about my options as you have to know more than me."

"True. The conflict between Konoha and Kumo should be nearing its end and I expect one of them to send delegates sooner or later for a peace treaty. With the way Danzo Shimura is having his little private army fighting against Kumo, the first to send a delegation will have to be Kumo. Danzo will try to convince the Hokage to never end the conflict, which will force Kumo to react."

I have to be really careful here.

"Danzo Shimura and little private army? Interesting."

"You already knew right?"

And again. Is he baiting me or is he just reading me perfectly?

"He has been shady the whole time, but a private army is new to me."

"I see. Anyway you should be ready to leave any time between a month or two. I will help setting up the Kumo delegation as a kidnapper and have you extracted from Konoha."

"Where will you be bringing me afterwards? I will have to train for a few years before I can effectively participate with your little project."

"My little project?"

I fucked up again.

"I assumed you planned to start a massive war. Why would you weaken the strongest village otherwise? Why would you control the Mizukage?"

"It is true. I am planning another shinobi war."

"When?"

"In a few years. I currently have an organisation built to extract the bijuus from their hosts. You would fit in well, once you manage to reach S-Level."

"I will need around 6 to 8 years before I reach that level."

"So fast? Wouldn't you still be a little midget?"

"Kaguyas chakra is speeding up my bodys growth." A lie, but I will never tell him that I am a reincarnated soul. No idea what he will plan with that, but why should I give that information anyway.

"I see. I will have a hideout set up in the Land of Waves for you. Or do you plan to go somewhere else?"

Waves huh. Waves will be full of  bandits in a few years, which will be perfect for my levelling.

"Waves should be perfect. Will you provide food for me? And also what about scrolls about Ninjutsu and so on?"

"Our dumb uchiha will bring food and scrolls to you. Anything you will want to focus on Princess?"

That mocking tone of his. He also knows that I just don't want to spend extra time on acquiring food from somewhere.

"Ninjutsu scrolls of all elements up to B-rank; Taijutsu scrolls of many different styles focused on speed, flexibility and the occasional taijutsu style that might have a greater focus on chakra manipulation; Genjutsu scrolls of any type up to highest rank you can get. I plan to mainly utilize Genjutsu. I will also need scrolls about Fuuinjutsu, Shuriken, Kunai, Katana and other swordstyles. You should also bring some chakra conductive metal and katana so I can try to combine my Gentle Fist with a sword style. It will probably be more effective by increasing the Gentle Fists range with weapons. If there is anything else then I will just contact you again."

"Oho~ You are certainly a very demanding Princess~ Maybe you will also want some expensive clothing and entertaining games. What about music instruments for a cute princess like you?"

"Wonderful idea! Bring them too. I completely forgot about that. How will I try to create sound-based genjutsu without an instrument to create sounds? Well except my voice of course, but that might be an interesting idea too."

Ha! I finally stunned him. Got you Zetsu!

"...Ha. Hahahaha! You are perfect! Oh Mother! You finally found the perfect champion for yourself. How delightful. Oh how marvelous! I can already see Mothers return in front of my eyes!"

He is completely ignoring me now.

"Princess! I will bring everything you desire! It will be a wonderful venture to see the progress of our plans!"

"...Yes. Contact me on the day before the delegation will arrive. I will want to hear your plans then."

"Of course Princess. Farewell!"

"See you again Big Sis!"

Big Sis?!

I open my eyes and once again see a koi pond in front of me. That whole encounter has been not what I expected it to be. It was... kind of funny actually.

'It is nice to see Black Zetsu so happy. I feared that my absence and the Juubis influence might have driven him insane.'

'Is Zetsu really only your will? He seems to be something more.'

'Hm~ You could call him the same thing that Usagi is to you. Yes, that is almost exactly the same thing.'

'Usagi? Anyway everything seems to be in order. The last thing I will have to is preparing.'
