Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Rikudou Sennin.
"Traitors? Why?"
Black Zetsu was even more confused. Naruto and Sasuke were reincarnations of his sons, and now their strength was comparable to the Six Paths themselves. Shouldn't Rikudou Sennin be happy? And it didn't seem like they had done anything wrong.
Previously, Rikudou Sennin had rebelled against Kaguya because she used the Rinne Sharingan to turn many people into White Zetsu, which he couldn't tolerate.
But Naruto and Sasuke hadn't done such things. On the contrary, their actions, although unconventional, were mostly measured and protective. They didn't seem like traitors at all.
"Sigh~"
Rikudou Sennin closed his eyes and bowed his head, sighing deeply, "Their behavior is not the problem, but their existence has already disrupted the balance of this world."
"Why? Because they're too strong?"
Black Zetsu asked tentatively.
"No, I would be happy if they were strong. I wouldn't have these feelings, but... the changes their training has brought to this world are unacceptable to me. The world has become fragile."
Rikudou Sennin paused before continuing, "I also use Senjutsu, but I can only control natural energy for a short time. After it's used, the energy returns to nature, so the world remains balanced."
"However, the Senjutsu they practice is a method that completely converts natural energy for their own use. The natural energy they refine disappears and becomes a part of their power. That's why they are so strong."
"But the world is balanced. The more natural energy they refine, the more the natural world loses. Although the natural world has a certain ability to recover, this ability has its limits. If too many people intensely practice this kind of Senjutsu, the natural world simply can't withstand the consumption, and the Earth will become increasingly fragile."
"Why don't you talk to them then? If you want to communicate with them, it shouldn't be difficult, right?" Black Zetsu asked.
Rikudou Sennin fell silent for a moment, then coughed twice and said awkwardly, "Because their spiritual energy is too strong, I can't guide their spirits."
"Why don't you just show up in person?" Black Zetsu asked again.
"Sasuke's character is all about strength, and he's very assertive. If I appeared before him, I wouldn't just fail to persuade him, I might even have my spirit scattered."
As he spoke, Rikudou Sennin's expression grew grim, and he continued, "As for Naruto, he's even more outrageous. He could directly retrieve people from the Pure Land, bypassing me. His ability to manipulate the power of life and death is too strong. I really dare not appear before him, otherwise, even I might..."
Black Zetsu burst into laughter, "So Rikudou Sennin is actually afraid to show himself. He's dead, without a physical body, and in his spirit form, he can't beat Naruto or Sasuke."
"Both Naruto and Sasuke have abilities that could be fatal to him. Sasuke's 'Dream of One Heart' can slice through spirits, and his lightning can cleave souls. Naruto's 'Art of Death' might also pose a lethal threat to Rikudou Sennin."
"What's more terrifying is that both of these guys are incredibly fast. If they became hostile to Rikudou Sennin, or even murderous, they could potentially kill him in an instant!"
"Because neither Naruto nor Sasuke have any obvious prelude to their big moves. Sasuke's 'Dream of One Heart' gathers quickly, and his lightning armor is fast. Naruto's 'Divine Walking Technique' is as fast as a ghost. Rikudou Sennin doesn't dare to show himself."
"It's just too dangerous for him!"
"It's like playing with his life!"
Black Zetsu could already picture the scene of Rikudou Sennin talking face-to-face with Sasuke.
Rikudou Sennin: "My child, actually, I am your father from before your reincarnation. Your training method is good, but it poses a great danger to this world, so I hope you can..."
Sasuke: "Huh? What nonsense, brat. You think you can be my dad? Not even Naruto is that bold!"
Then, Sasuke would chase after Rikudou Sennin with 'Dream of One Heart', hacking away until Rikudou Sennin doubted his existence.
It's hilarious!
"Cough cough, that's enough!" Rikudou Sennin, unable to save face, interjected.
"Alright, alright, you tell me, what do you want me to do when I'm revived? I'll say it upfront, with my strength, it's absolutely impossible to stop them, unless..."
The smile on Black Zetsu's face gradually became more playful.
"Heh, if you can get the Nine-Tails' chakra from Naruto, I won't stop you from reviving our mother, but that's only if you can do it," Rikudou Sennin said with a hint of disdain.
"So what? What do you want me to do?"
"I want you to find someone who can learn the art of Edo Tensei in this world, summon an army of Edo Tensei, and defeat them both with sheer numbers and immortality," Rikudou Sennin explained.
"Alright, I agree," Black Zetsu replied.
He was well aware that the Pure Land was Rikudou Sennin's domain, and his greatest discomfort wasn't due to Naruto and Sasuke's influence on the world, but because Naruto's death technique affected the Pure Land. He couldn't tolerate his domain being violated.
As for his claim that Naruto and Sasuke's training made the world fragile, he didn't really feel it. Although Naruto and Sasuke were strong and absorbed a lot, it was still too little for a planet. Elemental power wasn't exclusive to Earth; the universe had it too, and if Earth's elemental power density decreased, it would draw from the universe.
Moreover, most of the energy on Earth wasn't from the planet itself but from the sun's rays. Sunlight nourishes everything, and as long as the sun exists, Earth will continue to receive a vast amount of energy.
Did they really think they could drain the Earth?
Heh, the energy they absorbed combined was nothing compared to what Earth gets from the sun, not even close!
To elaborate,
Sasuke's training in lightning elemental power came from the field, which existed everywhere in the universe, covering everything. How could he possibly drain Earth's lightning elemental power? At most, it would cause a temporary elemental vacuum, which would naturally recover after a while, with no impact.
And there were winds in the universe too. Scientific research found that near some supermassive black holes, there were even hurricanes traveling at 1.2 times the speed of light. Although the universe had vacuum environments, it wasn't completely void. Near extremely hot celestial bodies, there were terrifying hurricanes!
Besides, wind comes from uneven heating and cooling. As long as there are places on Earth with uneven temperatures, there will be endless wind. It's impossible to exhaust the wind elemental power, and Earth won't become fragile because of it.
