In the unknowable darkness, the two Black Zetsu watched with wide eyes as Young Rin transformed into the shape of Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Third-War Black Zetsu said in surprise and doubt, "She changed into Mother's appearance… it's very similar, huh? The other me, what do you think of this?"
Fourth-War Black Zetsu answered without hesitation, "Acting."
After saying that, it added, "But it really looks convincing."
The two Black Zetsu instantly fell silent.
They clearly knew it was acting, so why… did their hearts still tremble a little?
———
At this moment, on the grand stage of the Fourth War.
The Rin who had transformed into something resembling Otsutsuki Kaguya sent Young Obito flying with just a single palm strike.
The seal that Young Obito had placed inside her moments ago also seemed to have lost its effect.
Rin smiled faintly, a powerful and overwhelming aura radiated from her entire body. Her temperament became incomparably detached, noble, and elegant.
She opened her mouth calmly and said, "Mere humans are nothing more than lower beings that served Mother back when she still existed. Even the chakra you use was originally Mother's gift. Do you really think techniques created from that chakra could possibly overturn the heavens and affect me?"
Young Obito was completely stunned. He questioned loudly, "That's… Otsutsuki Kaguya's presence! What kind of existence are you? Why can you do something even Black Zetsu can't do?"
Young Rin (in Otsutsuki Kaguya form) simply said, "I originally wanted to stay in an ordinary form when getting along with you. It's you who refused to appreciate it. Obediently cooperating with me to release Mother's seal, wouldn't that have been better?"
"If you had done that, I could have spared your life, in consideration of our past acquaintance, after Mother harvests all the chakra of this planet."
But Young Obito laughed angrily, "After doing something like this to Rin, you're already unforgivable! Even if I have to fight with everything I have, I'll make you get out of Rin's body!"
Young Rin shook her head, "It's already too late. She's already completely fused with me. Right now, if I leave, her soul alone won't be enough to support this body that I've already remodeled. The only outcome would be death."
Young Obito took a deep breath, his fists clenching involuntarily. He asked, "So Rin has already inevitably fallen into the abyss and can never be brought back… is that it?"
Young Rin giggled, "That's right. Weren't you curious about what kind of existence I actually am? I can tell you."
"Unlike that useless brother of mine, Black Zetsu, I'm not only Mother's will, I'm also her origin. I represent Mother's very existence. As long as I exist, Mother cannot die. Even if her original body is destroyed, she can revive from within me."
"So, Rin's body has already been remodeled into Mother's vessel. She's already Mother. She's no longer herself."
Young Obito didn't know what to say anymore. His whole body started shaking. In the end, he just clenched his teeth and spat out three words, "You… deserve death!"
However, this sentence actually made "Rin" feel delighted.
"So you want to kill me? But I am immortal. A mere lower being wanting to kill me, what a foolish dream!"
"Rin" raised one hand, aiming at Young Obito, "Since you refuse to cooperate, then your existence is meaningless. Die."
As her words fell, a bone spike suddenly shot out of Rin's hand, aimed directly at Young Obito.
Young Obito's eyes widened, "This is… All-Killing Ash Bone!"
And then, almost in the blink of an eye, that bone spike appeared right in front of Young Obito at an absolutely unbelievable speed.
Young Obito instinctively used his intangibility, and the bone passed cleanly through his body.
But "Rin" didn't seem surprised at all. She simply said, "You think using intangibility can avoid my attack? Unfortunately, you've forgotten. Just like you, I also grasp space-time ninjutsu."
"Besides, since you took Rin in and out of your Kamui dimension so often, I remember all the corresponding coordinates very clearly."
As she spoke, another All-Killing Ash Bone shot from Rin's hand toward Young Obito.
At the same time, the very first bone that had passed through Obito suddenly opened a gate in front of it.
Inside that gate was exactly Obito's Kamui dimension.
The two bone spikes, one from reality and one from the Kamui space, both shot toward Young Obito together.
"Rin" laughed, "You rely on intangibility, so in front of this move, how will you dodge it?"
Young Obito gave the answer. His left eye spun, and before "Rin" fired her second bone, he opened a warped space in front of it.
That way, the second bone spike would also be sent into the Kamui dimension, and his body in reality wouldn't be harmed.
However, "Rin" had clearly predicted this.
She waved both of her hands, and the space around Obito suddenly underwent a huge transformation, becoming a frozen domain.
In this domain, both bone spikes still flew toward Young Obito along their original paths. But Young Obito's left eye suddenly stopped moving.
Because the entire domain had been pulled into Rin's Amenominaka, and this frozen domain not only froze everything. It also froze space itself.
———
In the unknowable darkness, the two Black Zetsu stared wide-eyed at Rin's moves.
Rin, who looked just like Mother, not only used Mother's All-Killing Ash Bone… She also used Yomotsu Hirasaka to transfer the first bone into the Kamui dimension so Obito couldn't dodge with intangibility.
And then used Amenominaka to lock down all space, leaving no way for Obito to use Flying Thunder God or Kamui to escape.
It was a move so brilliant it left them stunned.
Even if their Mother herself came, could she really pull something like this off?
Originally, when Rin called them stupid brothers, they were unhappy.
But now… they were a little happy.
Fourth-War Black Zetsu roared, "Fake! It's all fake! The All-Killing Ash Bone is fake, Yomotsu Hirasaka is fake, Amenominaka is fake!"
Third-War Black Zetsu also said, "Right, it's all fake!"
'But… is fake really fake?'
In their hearts, the two Black Zetsu cried out, 'Mother, we can't tell anymore… we really can't tell anymore!'
———
On the grand stage of the Fourth War, Rin's second All-Killing Ash Bone flew in front of Young Obito.
Young Obito seemed to have lost all means of responding, stunned in place.
This should have been something that happened in an instant. But the frozen domain made it feel as if time had been drawn out.
Just then, the "Rin" who had been confident of victory and wearing a wicked smile suddenly had a change of expression.
"No… impossible… why can you still resist me?"
In an instant, "Rin" looked like she was being controlled by something.
Suddenly, a space portal opened in front of her, and she stepped into it.
In the next moment, her body emerged in front of Young Obito.
"Rin" stood in front of him, directly facing the All-Killing Ash Bone that was heading toward Young Obito.
Her expression turned panicked, and from her mouth came a single word, "No!"
