Grandpa Universe In Multiverse

Chapter 342: Hope

Alexander had the whole night to himself. So he started studying the knowledge he gained from the fifth-dimensional beings.

It was not easy to understand because it was in a very weird format. There were no words or writings, just images. Even with his a million times comprehension, it was taking him time to make progress.

It made him think about how old that fifth-dimensional species was. How many millions of years did it take them to reach that level?

The multiverse was really exciting when he thought this. Anyway, he continued his study. Each image he had received from the higher beings was not just an image but all the knowledge in the one single image.

Just one of them was equal to Zettabytes of data. And there were more than a million of those images. This was the first time he needed to use his brain so much since his mortal days.

But, he liked it. He rarely faces challenges nowadays after all.

Many hours went by, it was nearly dawn now. But he had a small breakthrough just now. He finally understood what this knowledge meant.

It was a way to uplift your consciousness to a level where you are aware of the past and the future while living in the present.

The easiest part was looking into the past but the hardest was the future because it was constantly changing into many variations. Even your looking into the future can cause limitless variations.

He tried to use this power but was only able to see a few faces in the past. One of them was a weird tree monster, a woman with white hair, three eyes, and a huge toad.

But because of his feeble control, he had no idea how old these images were.

~Well, even though these are baby steps, at least I am moving forward. Okay, it's time to wake up these little beasties,~ he thought.

He got up and stretched his body. But suddenly he releases the Conqueror's haki at full strength. He turned around and saw a black humanoid thing trying to creep towards the sleeping Shukaku.

Alexander's outburst had shaken Black Zetsu to the core. It had no idea that the old man was this strong. He had not even felt this kind of oppression even when with his mother Kaguya.

~This is bad, he will kill me.~ he thought and quickly tried to disappear into the ground.

But Alexander had already thrown his staff turned sword at him. Black Zetsu felt if he got struck with it he would die.

So he quickly threw the nearby sleeping bluebird as a shield. Unexpectedly the sword stopped but not for long. It bypassed the bird and headed towards him. In the end, he was able to enter the ground but without a hand.

The sword was fast enough to sever his arm.

~NO NO NO... who is this man? This changed everything. Madara is nothing in front of him. I need to change my plans.~ Black Zetsu cursed as he kept on going away.

...

Outside, Alexander tried to sense the thing underground but he realized he lost the thing. He couldn't sense if it was even alive.

So he ripped out the ground in a radius of 3 kilometers and 100 meters in depth. But he didn't find the thing.

...

Black Zetsu had used Mayfly to take itself as far away as possible.

Soon he felt the loud rumble in the ground and came up to peek. He was again shocked upon seeing his strength. He felt like he cheated death this time.

He then looked at his impaled hand. It was not regrowing anymore. This was not normal as his body was not cuttable.

This brought more fear to him as this meant he could die if his head was cut by that sword.

~Who is he? Why have I never heard of him? Wait, no no... why is he back here? Didn't he disappear six hundred years ago?~

Black Zetsu was confused about why the Sage of Beasts was back. He had thought the man had died. He remembers the sage perfectly because that was the time he stayed hidden like a rat in sewers because of fear. But he couldn't recognize him quickly because of his long beard and different clothes.

~I was weak at that time, but now I have the world at my disposal. Maybe if I can take over his body, I can bring my mother back much earlier than planned.~ He excitedly thought and returned to Madara's layers. They still had to do their brainwashing on Obito. The boy had lost all his will to work for them after seeing his friends.

...

Alexander looked at the severed hand left behind. He picked it up and instantly felt sins. Too many sins to count.

Seeing it was an impure thing to even exist. He destroyed it. He then filled the new hole in the ground with water, making a new lake.

He now knew that things weren't as simple as he thought. This world had many secrets that nobody knew. And the oldest people he knew were the beasts so he went to ask them.

He showed them the photo of Black Zetsu that he drew from his memory.

"Kids, have you ever seen this thing? He tried to attack Shukaku in his sleep." Alexander asked them.

All of them had confused faces and didn't know the things. Then Alexander decided to ask them something else. He drew an image of the tree-like beast and the three-eyed woman and showed them.

"Do you know these two?" He asked.

Suddenly, all the tailed beasts looked tense. Saiken, being the calmest and level headed, decided to answer.

"G-Chan, that tree thing is the ten tails and that lady is Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki. The mother of Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Old man Sage of six paths had told us this story.

"There was a tree called the God tree once. A type of gigantic tree that grows by absorbing blood soaked into the ground from countless battles over millennia.

"The God Tree seed landed on Earth from a meteorite several millennia ago. It was believed that the God Tree nourished the land and helped it thrive, while in truth, the God Tree was slowly killing the land and its people, by draining natural energy from them. It was believed that anyone who approached the tree was consumed by a demon spirit and died like a withered branch.

"Every thousand years, the God Tree produces a "chakra fruit", which human legend holds are never to be touched. The members of the ?tsutsuki clan travel through dimensions in search of God Trees so that they can harvest these fruits and gain their powerful chakra for themselves, producing medicine that grants them their godlike power along with extended youth and longevity.

"Then came Kaguya Otsutsuki, After obtaining the ability to manipulate powerful chakra from the God Tree's fruit, Kaguya had grown despotic and developed both a god-complex and messiah-complex, believing that chakra rightfully belonged to her alone and that only she could protect and unite the world.

"Kaguya then used a technique called the Infinite Tsukuyomi on humans to transform them into an army of emotionless soldiers over the course of many years in order to protect her chakra from being stolen by other clan members.

"Later, her sons found out about her and went against her. she hated her sons for using their inherited chakra against her. So to reclaim that chakra she made the ten tails by combining herself with the God Tree.

"But she wasn't able to control it and the beast went out of control. Destroying anything in its path. To end the beast's rampage, the Sage of six paths became the Ten-Tails' jinch?riki and later split its chakra into nine of us to prevent it from causing further harm after he died.

"They had sealed Kaguya inside the center of the moon in the form of the remaining part of the God Tree. This is all we heard from Sage of six paths. Kurama probably knows more because he was the closest to the old man Sage"

Alexander continuously nodded the whole time. This was a very deep history. He also understood now why he couldn't find an alien similar looking to Hagoromo when he went on his trip to space in the past.

Because those beings travel dimensions, not just planets.

~Then, in order to revive Kagua, one would need to have all the tailed beasts and the God Tree's body inside the core of the moon. I guess I will keep these little beasties safe forever then. Though I can't decide who's worse, the tree or this Kaguya.~

*Beep Beep*

Alexander checked what was making the sound and noticed it was a card he gave to the sculptor boy, Umar, he met in Ame. Card sounding meant he was in trouble.

"Everyone, emergency, someone needs help. Let's go"

...

Hope, it was something everyone desired. But at the moment, the trio leaders of Akatsuki needed it the most.

All their trouble started when they killed a few Anbu from Konoha who attacked them. Later Danzo brought the corpses to Hanzo. Saying that they were Ame shinobi who were killed by Akatsuki. In truth, they were Root members.

Seeing Akatsuki's ideals becoming a threat to his regime over Amegakure, Hanzo conspired with Danzo Shimura to eliminate the Akatsuki's three leading ninjas. Hanzo approached Akatsuki offering to help them broker peace between Konohagakure, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure. When Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan arrived to meet with him, however, they were ambushed by Hanzo's men.

Hanzo kidnapped Konan. Then Yahiko and Nagato were forced to face off against Hanzo and Danzo's forces combined. In the end, Hanzo demanded that Nagato should kill the leader of Akatsuki, Yahiko, else he shall kill Konan.

They were in a deadlock. Beaten and weak. Surrounded by both, Hanzo and Danzo's men.

They didn't know why this was happening to them. They just wanted to make the world a better place, with no wars. They didn't want any child to go through what they had to.

But it seems fate had forsaken them.

Nagato was scared and didn't want to kill his friend. But Konan was also in danger. The memories of his childhood days with them were flashing in his mind while he held a kunai in his hand.

"Please help, someone, anyone. I don't want to kill my best friend," he weakly muttered. There was still a small hope in his heart that someone might magically come and save them. Though his subconscious mind was telling him to stop dreaming.
