"Waiting to die."
Zabuza answered crisply and decisively.
They already had some understanding of Kaguya's strength from the video and the comments. Not to mention Kaguya, even Susanoo was something beyond their comprehension.
To paraphrase a common saying in the comments, the power levels in Naruto have long been broken; these early characters should just sit back and watch.
"But the comments say that Zabuza and Kakashi are evenly matched, and Kaguya can also fight Kakashi equally matched, which means Zabuza and Kaguya are roughly the same strength~" Haku joked with Zabuza with a grin.
He was handsome, and his smile was like the moon shining brightly in one's arms. Even when he was making jokes about Zabuza in the comments, Zabuza couldn't bear to criticize him.
"No matter what, as long as I can be with Zabuza-san, I would gladly go through heaven or hell."
"Tsk."
Sometimes, even Zabuza gets goosebumps from what Shiro says. The comments section is full of people saying Naruto always throws curveballs at Sasuke, but Zabuza just wants to ask, why isn't anyone speaking up for him?!
"I love Zabuza's body," Haku said. "Zabuza's muscles are so beautiful, it would be an unparalleled sin for anyone to damage them." Zabuza was so embarrassed he almost became socially awkward!
After his character was vindicated by the online comments, people from Kirigakure came to them, but Zabuza had no intention of getting involved in any conflicts between ninja villages.
When strange tree roots, which had only been seen in VCRs, sprouted from the ground, Zabuza chose to protect Haku, while Haku also tried to protect Zabuza with his own body. In the end, the two of them were wrapped together in a cocoon.
[Wishing for "Confirming the Black Zetsu timeline of the Land of Waves 1.0":]
"Kaguya Otsutsuki has returned to the human world!"
This is the Land of Waves 1.0 timeline. In this timeline, everyone in Konoha is instilled with Uchiha-style friendship, and the entire village, from top to bottom, fights to protect the Uchiha.
This includes Kakashi, whose roles as Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura's teacher have been temporarily revoked.
After finding Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, in order to protect Obito, was the first to be made into a cocoon by the Divine Tree and hung on the tree.
Akatsuki's masked man, Obito, almost activated his Rinnegan on the spot!
Fortunately, his Kaleidoscope is somewhat overpowered; even if Kakashi turns into a human cocoon, he can still collect him into the Kamui dimension and then go in himself to unravel the mystery.
In this timeline, Obito Uchiha's most important problem is how to avoid Kaguya and Black Zetsu while secretly using Kamui to save people.
Sasuke, whose three-month punishment period for being honest has not yet expired, continues to say things that are inconsistent with his character but are absolutely true to his inner thoughts during the battle!
"Next up, Naruto! I'll make sure you don't die before me, no matter what!"
"Sakura, if you don't have the fighting power for the future, don't come to the battlefield! I didn't want to be so direct, but I can't control myself right now. Also, you're really holding me and Naruto back!"
"Damn it, these tree roots just won't stop! If only I had my brother's Amaterasu! Why isn't my brother coming to save us?! If he doesn't come soon, you'll lose your little brother! My stupid brother!!"
"————"
Naruto: "He's a little too frank, but he's so cute, Sasuke!"
Sakura lay on the ground, deeply shaken.
"Holding others back — holding others back —"
[Konoha Chunin Exams Timeline -]
In this world, Konoha's fighting strength has been maximized, and all the ninjas from past generations have been resurrected.
Even so, without the power of the Six Paths, it would still be difficult to fight against Kaguya.
However, Black Zetsu was cautious. He didn't choose to revive Kaguya directly and bring her to the ninja world. Instead, he rewrote the script in his mind again and again, and finally chose to enter the game himself and become the real Otsutsuki Black Zetsu!
[Wishing for "Confirming the timeline of the Konoha Chunin Exams with Black Zetsu":]
"Obtained a body belonging to an Otsutsuki."
A torrent of chakra, like a waterfall at the Valley of the End, crashed down on Black Zetsu. His body, which had been writhing like tar, twisted and disintegrated violently under the impact of the energy, then frantically reshaped itself, as if it had been brushed with pale paint, quickly shedding its shadow to reveal the cold, moon-like body of the Otsutsuki.
A pair of curved horns slowly grew from his forehead, resembling his mother Kaguya, but even more eerie and sinister.
Between his two special horns, the Rinnegan on his forehead was not red, but golden like that of Urashiki Otsutsuki, just like when he was Black Zetsu, with yellow eyes and a set of sharp shark teeth.
A gentle breeze ruffled his short, milky-white hair, the upturned ends rising and falling softly, contrasting with his slightly chubby, youthful face, giving this thousand-year-old schemer a youthful softness.
Those who witnessed all of this from within the mirror wall were utterly astonished.
The developments across more than a dozen timelines were all so exciting that they were overwhelmed and didn't know which timeline to focus on.
"The worst thing has happened." Shikamaru Nara rubbed his hair and said, "This is so troublesome." If he had known this would happen, he probably should have directed the comments to encourage others to vote.
Upon hearing his own mutterings, Tobirama Senju, in the Fourth Shinobi World War, said, "Using such requests once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, those all-knowing gods will inevitably start causing trouble." He realized that their barrage of attacks could determine their fate, and anything could happen.
really----
"Fortunately, it only came in third place, so the second and first place winners still have a chance to turn things around."
"I hope so —"
Inside the mirror wall—
In the Konoha Chunin Exams timeline, after obtaining the identity and body of the Otsutsuki clan, Black Zetsu completed his evolution into Otsutsuki Black Zetsu! With this body and the power of the Rinnegan, rescuing his mother became much easier.
"The very first thing—"
Black Zetsu, feeling the power of his Rinnegan, snarled, "Let's kill Nagato and Obito first." He'd use those two as experience points to grind, then go and take down Madara Uchiha, Hashirama Senju, Sasuke Uchiha, and Naruto Uzumaki!
[Valley of the End 1.0 Timeline -]
Because of the limited information available at the time, Sasuke in this timeline only revived those who had been killed by Itachi.
At that time, the Third Hokage had died in battle and Tsunade had taken over in a time of crisis. All the Jonin that Konoha could send out on missions were mobilized, which is why Shikamaru, a Chunin, was sent to lead a group of Genin to chase after Sasuke.
Now Sasuke has gone to the Land of Waves with his resurrected family, and Konoha in this timeline is arguably the weakest in terms of combat strength among all timelines.
After all, Naruto and the other young heroes of this generation haven't grown up yet, and the truly capable ones are still out there running around.

[Wishing for "Confirming the timeline of Black Zetsu in the Valley of the End 1.0":]
"Kaguya Otsutsuki has returned to the human world!"
"Sleep forever, Infinite Tsukuyomi."
Kaguya's ferocious smile revealed an evil that would dominate all living beings. The blood-red moon replaced the original bright moon, and the roots of the Divine Tree, like an ancient serpent awakening, burst forth from the earth, mercilessly tearing the land apart. Carrying Kaguya's cold will, it swept across the entire ninja world.
Ninjas, commoners, nobles, and even animals—without struggle or fear—were instantly captivated by the dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi the moment they saw the moon.
It was like a silent sacrifice.
Black Zetsu huddled in Kaguya's shadow, while Kaguya gazed worriedly at the sky.
Beneath the blood moon, cocoons hung from twisted branches, their chakra and life force trickling down the silken threads and converging on the divine tree.
There are only seven people in the world, or rather, only one person, who can withstand Kaguya's sacrifice.
That was Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan! And the Pain beings he controlled.
In this timeline, or rather these timelines, Nagato might truly become the chosen one, destined to save everyone.
[The Land of Waves 2.0 Timeline -]
In this timeline, Sasuke's wish is for the Uchiha clan, who existed since the Nine-Tails' rampage, to appear before him.
It's like giving an extra dose of "Unforgettable Tonight"—oops, I mean, resurrecting all the Uchiha who died on the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre, including Itachi and Obito who were still alive, and teleporting them to Sasuke's side at that time.
In this timeline, the Uchiha still went to the Land of Waves to seek a way out, while Itachi and Obito, because of their own sins, could not be at peace with the other Uchiha, at least not now, and the other Uchiha would not accept them so quickly.
The two, along with Sasuke and his Snake Squad, separated from the other Uchiha and set off to search for Black Zetsu's whereabouts.
However, all of the above happened more than a month ago, and Black Zetsu in this timeline had long been sealed in the Totsuka Blade by Itachi.
Fortunately, Sasuke followed his original plan and recruited Kaori and Jugo into his ranks ahead of time.
Otherwise, after Itachi's body used the Totsuka Blade, in the divine terms of all-knowing gods, his health bar would be reduced to a mere sliver, so weak that even a gust of wind could send him to his death.
Thanks to Xiang for saving his life.
For the first time ever, Sasuke looked at Kaori seriously and said, "Thank you, thanks to you."
As you can imagine, Xiang, a talented woman with a whirlpool-like personality, almost turned into Patrick Star, who was spitting out nosebleeds and exploding on the spot.
"The comments said that Sasuke's 'thank you' is basically equivalent to 'I love you'!!"
Sasuke: "That's not what I meant!!"
Obito: "————"
Itachi:
'
"Was it inappropriate for me to bite my sister-in-law's body just now?"
"elder brother!!!!"
I already said that's not what I meant!
In this timeline, Black Zetsu is sealed within the Totsuka Blade; now, the tense moment for everyone is the random draw.
After waiting a long time for Black Zetsu's reply, the comment section switched to random mode.
[Resurrect Hagoromo and Hamura Otsutsuki.]
After several rounds of resurrection, the ninjas thought the barrage wall was about to unleash its old trick again, resurrecting the Sage of Six Paths and his brother—
The random options in the mirror ultimately stopped at one: "Confirm Wish:"
[Black Zetsu's wish in the Land of Waves 2.0 timeline is:]
[Item obtained: Super Golden Fertilizer.]
Upon hearing this sound, the entire ninja world gasped in shock!
They still remembered Jin Ke La's GG language, which could make the Divine Tree's branches hang full of fruit, just like an apple tree laden with apples!
That's a sacred tree!
The chakra fruit that grew should be considered a forbidden fruit, right?!
Coincidentally, the same goes for apples.
Terrible!
Because Black Zetsu was sealed inside the Totsuka Blade, his reward, "Super Gold Fertilizer," was directly scattered throughout the ninja world.
The roots of the divine tree, which had been lying dormant hundreds of feet underground, hurriedly emerged at the call of the Super Golden Fertilizer! They twisted their branches as if they were alive, creating a scene of chaotic demonic dance that terrified everyone in the ninja world!
They all thought the Divine Tree was going to capture them as food and nourishment, put them in the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and, according to the comments, turn them into monsters like White Zetsu.
But this is not the case in practice!
The reason why the Divine Tree needs chakra, life force, and even, according to the original plan, one of Kaguya and Isshiki was to be sacrificed as food to the Divine Tree, is ultimately because it needs enough power to nurture the chakra fruit.
If we compare the sacred tree to a baby, to put it simply, it's like a hungry child!
If delicious food is provided every day, then there's no need for it to gnaw on hard bones, right?
For the Divine Tree, "Super Golden Fertilizer" was a feast! At this moment, the entire ninja world was covered in Golden Fertilizer, and every root of the Divine Tree was like a starving refugee, twisting and turning the paper and frantically eating!
The comment section says GG is exaggerated, but I, for one, don't see where the exaggeration is.
They no longer have cacti in their desert; the entire area is now covered by the roots of the sacred tree!
Ironically, the Sand Village ninjas, trapped in the oasis, roared at the sky, "Nobody told us! The Divine Tree is a root-growing plant!!"
(Characteristics of root-borne plants: they reproduce through root systems, with new plants sprouting directly from the mother root, exhibiting strong vegetative reproductive capacity.)
It turns out that after the roots of the divine tree had consumed enough of the golden fertilizer, they actually stood upright and grew into large trees, budding on the spot, waiting to bloom and bear fruit!
"No! We don't have Uchiha, Hyuga, or Senju here! All those fruits you've borne here are useless!!"
"Damn it! Almost all the Six Paths bloodlines have gathered in Konoha!"
"There's a bamboo tug family in Kirigakure too, right? That's what the comments said."
"They've been wiped out."
"Doesn't Kumogakure also have Kinkaku and Ginkaku?"
"They've been dead for so many years!"
Well, they've almost all gathered in Konoha.
And the Akatsuki organization—
The organization consists of only eight or nine people: two Uchiha, and one who, although not an Uchiha, possesses Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan.
"No matter what! Someone come and rescue us from the oasis!!"
A ninja from Konoha, who had come for a friendly exchange, complained, "Weren't you guys always trying to implement some kind of desertification control project? Your Daimyo even hoped Orochimaru would resurrect our First and Second Hokage for it. Now that we're actually giving you a high-level challenge, why are you all unhappy?"
Nonsense! Would you be happy about that?!
This game is so high-level! It's like a Bronze player playing against a Challenger player!!
The other villages weren't much better off.
In Amegakure, there aren't many trees, but can you believe that a colossal tree has grown out of the sea? And who can say for sure what kind of strange, demonic purple lotus is gestating?
The Hidden Mist Village boasts an exceptionally favorable climate, with its high temperature and humidity making it ideal for crop growth. Coupled with the blessing of the Super Goldra, the Divine Tree has grown at an incredible rate here!
Botanists in Kirigakure were terrified that if things continued this way, the Divine Tree might mutate!
"Mutation? What kind of mutation can it undergo?"
"To put it conservatively—"
"Let's talk about something less conservative, so we can be mentally prepared."
"What about 'hundreds or thousands of self-propelled, human-shaped divine trees'?"
"—, you should be more conservative in your thinking."
Both the Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning are radical ninja nations that have begun conducting scientific research.
Although the Land of Earth is not particularly humid, its soil is fertile, and the Divine Tree grows vigorously.
The people of the Land of Lightning may look burly and rough, but they are actually cunning and scheming. Otherwise, they would not have deceived Konoha back then, deliberately provoking Hyuga Hiashi to his death and ultimately causing Hyuga Hizashi's demise. Their real purpose was to steal the ninjutsu, secret techniques, and bloodstains of other villages!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they were malicious!
"It's a pity we don't have Uchiha and Hyuga Gu Ran, but we can study the compatibility of the Divine Tree Fruit with other bloodline limits, or use the Divine Tree Fruit to feed tailed beasts and produce weapons —"
"I heard that a large number of Uchiha have been resurrected, so capturing a few shouldn't be too difficult, right?"
They were thinking this, while at that time, the Uchiha clans in the Land of Waves—Uchiha Fugaku—had anticipated the thoughts of those treacherous black men from the Land of Lightning. In the past, he would probably have taken conservative measures, such as minimizing the number of Uchiha clans going out on missions, or asking Konoha for help.
But this time he decided to take the risk.
Fugaku Uchiha figured that no matter how much he demanded, there would definitely be some Uchiha clansmen who would defy orders and steal the forbidden fruit.
—Why not let him be the first to try something new!
"You still have to lead the clan," Mikoto Uchiha said, stopping her husband's arm. "The Uchiha clan has just joined the Land of Waves, and there are so many places where they need you."
Meanwhile, far away in another place, Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha were unaware that their mother would soon no longer be called Mikoto Uchiha, but would instead be renamed "Mikoto Otsutsuki"!
