Chapter 216: Why is my profession panel in an anime art style? Chapter 98

"Who on earth are you?!"

A trace of shock flashed in Black Zetsu's bean-like eyes; he hadn't expected his plan, which he had plotted for a thousand years, to be exposed in one sentence.

Before Li Ang could answer, he continued to ask: "If you say you are Mother's child, then why haven't you contacted me for so many years?!"

This was the biggest doubt in Black Zetsu's heart at this moment.

Facing Black Zetsu's questioning, Li Ang said the excuse he had long prepared: "Before Mother was sealed back then, she secretly hid me away."

"I've been recovering my strength all these years, and only recently did I wake up again."

As he spoke, he stared at the black-and-white figure in front of him with his Mangekyo Sharingan, a mocking smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"But how many years has it been, and you are still so weak, pinning all your hopes on others."

"With you, how can we resurrect Mother!"

Li Ang's words could be described as heartbreaking and resonant; he certainly couldn't let Black Zetsu grasp the initiative in the conversation.

Black Zetsu was silent.

Because what the person opposite said was the truth; in terms of head-on combat ability, he was indeed very weak.

It wasn't that he hadn't tried, but the problem was he couldn't learn it; for so many years, he had only tinkered with some Yin-Yang Release abilities, and as for Wood Style, it was far inferior to the previous generation's Asura.

'No, almost got led into the trap.'

Black Zetsu suddenly reacted.

Just when he wanted to open his mouth to question again, Li Ang suddenly changed his attitude and said very kindly: "But it doesn't matter; now that I'm here to help you, we brothers will work together, and we will definitely be able to resurrect Mother."

Resurrecting Otsutsuki Kaguya required collecting all nine Tailed Beasts; at the very least, before that, Li Ang and Black Zetsu's Eye of the Moon plan had no conflict.

After that, it would require absorbing the Ten-Tails that had collected all nine Tailed Beasts to open the Rinne Sharingan.

However, opening the Rinne Sharingan also required the Rinnegan as a prerequisite, otherwise Black Zetsu wouldn't have waited until Uchiha Madara opened the Rinnegan to start executing the plan.

'So I still need Madara's eyes...'

Reaching this step, in a sense, he would become Kaguya's jinchuriki.

However, Boruto had already started "Ikuze Momoshiki," so "Ikuze Kaguya" didn't seem to be a problem, although Li Ang felt that letting Kaguya take over the account was not as good as doing it himself.

And only after this would there be a chance to release the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

This was also the most dangerous step, because Kaguya could potentially perform a possession operation at any time.

Li Ang felt that in his current state, he was likely much more tempting in Kaguya's eyes than Uchiha Madara.

'Take it one step at a time; if it really doesn't work, I'll just pluck some branches from the Ten-Tails and run away.'

If completing the ritual with the element of 'truth and falsehood' could complete the 【Sage】 job transfer, then Li Ang felt he could still clash with Kaguya.

But the problem was...

——

【Profession: Sage】

【Job requirements:

1. Pre-profession 【Qi Refiner (San-Yi)】 max level (x)

2. Participate in and lead an ultra-large-scale (standard planet scale) ritual with the element of 'truth and falsehood' (x)

3. Learn the principles of heaven and earth, comprehend the techniques of the Sage (x)】

【After job transfer:

1. Attribute growth

2. Obtain profession skills—generated according to job transfer conditions 2 and 3

3. Obtain profession specialties—Unity of Heaven and Man, Dual Cultivation of Nature and Life, generated according to job transfer conditions 2 and 3

4. Obtain special bonus:

Generated according to job transfer condition 2.】

——

Just completing the ritual wasn't enough; there were other conditions to become a 【Sage】.

Especially job transfer condition 3, which was even more abstract.

'Tsk, looks like I can only rely on my own comprehension; or is there still a chance to return to the Under One Person world later?'

The Eight Extraordinary Techniques were definitely a youthful version of Sage abilities; if Li Ang wanted to take a shortcut, it would likely fall on this.

'Speaking of which, is the Campione world also possible?'

A world where one could obtain corresponding authorities by killing gods flashed through his mind, and Li Ang's gaze couldn't help but flicker.

And at this time, Black Zetsu's mood was extremely complex.

Although he really didn't want to admit it, judging by the current performance of the person in front of him, he indeed had inextricable ties with Mother.

'Could it be that Mother really didn't leave just me behind before she was sealed?'

He thought to himself.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long while, Black Zetsu didn't reach a definitive answer, so he could only ask: "What do you plan to do?"

"First, continue to let Pain collect Tailed Beasts; when the time is right, I will swap in the Rinnegan to absorb the God Tree, and finally release the Infinite Tsukuyomi to collect chakra and resurrect Mother."

Li Ang just thought for a moment and stated the slightly modified Eye of the Moon plan.

And after hearing his plan, Black Zetsu was stunned for a moment, but then began to think about the feasibility of the new plan.

The only difference between this plan and the previous one was that Uchiha Madara had been kicked out of the game.

Seeing this filial son in front of him fall into deep thought, Li Ang didn't urge him.

After a long time, Black Zetsu asked in a deep voice: "You recovered your strength, why didn't you awaken the Rinnegan?"

In his view, since the other party said he was Mother's child, how could he not even inherit the Rinnegan, and instead possess the eyes of that guy Indra.

The Byakugan was indeed Mother's eyes.

Hearing this, Li Ang looked at Black Zetsu speechlessly: "You, who haven't inherited any power, have the nerve to talk about me?"

"Aren't you also Mother's child? Why don't you have a Rinnegan?"

Black Zetsu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

Indeed, he could basically be said to have not inherited Mother's power.

After a moment of silence, this filial son said: "... will tentatively treat you as Mother's child; let's follow your plan for now."

At this time, Black Zetsu was half-believing and half-doubting about Li Ang's identity; he certainly couldn't trust the other party because of such a simple exchange.

But the most important thing right now was to collect all nine Tailed Beasts; as for whether to follow the original plan or the new plan later, he would naturally make a choice based on the specific situation.

Just like that, two people, each with their own ulterior motives, reached a cooperation.

After reaching the cooperation, Li Ang asked: "Who was the one who came to find me just now? It's not Indra's reincarnation, is it?"

He didn't expose Uchiha Obito's identity, because if he acted like he knew everything, it would only deepen Black Zetsu's suspicion.

Not just Obito, he didn't say any names he shouldn't know during the entire dialogue process.

Such as Nagato.

Black Zetsu didn't hide Uchiha Obito's identity, but instead selectively revealed a little bit of the Eye of the Moon plan.

Hearing this, Li Ang feigned surprise and said: "So you haven't been doing nothing all these years."

"Hmph, good to know."

Black Zetsu snorted coldly, then dived into the ground and disappeared from the room.

After sending away his newly recognized brother, Li Ang looked at the mirror again.

He looked at his right eye with the pure white pupil and couldn't help but slightly furrow his brows.

'Need to find a way to cover it up.'

Just now, it was thanks to the insight brought by the Byakugan that he discovered Black Zetsu, although it was also because the other party was agitated and revealed a flaw.

If it were in another world, Li Ang certainly wouldn't need to cover it up, but it was still a bit sensitive in the Naruto world.

'Pity it's not a Tenseigan; if it were a Tenseigan, it wouldn't be so troublesome.'

After thinking about it simply, he chose to use the Golden Pupil to cover it up.

Because the Golden Pupil was a power converted by the 【Console Player】, it could still be used.

A moment later, Li Ang looked at his pupils in the mirror, which were slightly glowing with golden light, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although it was still a bit conspicuous, it was much better than the Byakugan.

'Next, it's time to raise my level while waiting for the Akatsuki organization's plan to unfold.'

Thinking of this, Li Ang first entered Sage Mode, then activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.

Under the huge bonus brought by 【Scion of the Rabbit】, his stamina had now been greatly enhanced.

【Maintain Sage state, skill experience +1】.

【Maintain Mangekyo Sharingan, skill experience +2】.

【Use bloodline ability, profession experience +4】.
