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.

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.
