"Explain," Shouted Madara, Tobirama, Hashirama, and Izuna—all at the same time.
They were completely shocked. I mean, who wouldn't be?
Someone just told them a single person has all the tailed beasts inside them.
Hashirama, who was standing beside his son, turned to him.
"Arata… just tell us everything. What really happened?"
Arata let out a deep sigh.
Then, without saying anything, he formed a few quick hand signs. A glowing chakra barrier suddenly surrounded the room.
"What's this?" Tobirama asked, eyes narrowing.
"A sealing barrier," Arata said calmly. "No sound or chakra can go out. No one can listen."
They all went quiet.
Then Arata looked at his father.
"Dad… do you remember when we fought the Nine Tails? Back then, he wasn't in control of himself."
Hashirama nodded.
"Yeah, I remember. He was raging like a wild storm—no emotions, no thoughts. Just destruction."
"That's right," Madara added. He activated his Sharingan and narrowed his eyes.
"I said it during the fight too—someone was controlling him. I could sense it."
Arata nodded.
"You were right, both of you. After the Nine Tails was sealed inside me… I went to talk to him."
Hashirama stepped forward quickly.
"Wait, what?! That's dangerous—!"
But Arata raised his hand.
"Dad. Please."
Hashirama paused, surprised by his son's calmness. Then… he took a deep breath and stepped back, letting Arata continue.
"I went into my mindscape," Arata said, "and there… I met him. The Nine Tails."
Everyone listened silently.
"I didn't fight him," Arata continued. "I talked to him. I listened to him. And I understood him. He wasn't the monster people said he was. He was being used."
Tobirama frowned. "Used? By who?"
Arata looked serious now.
"By someone… something… called Black Zetsu."
Everyone went quiet. Even Madara looked confused.
"Kurama—that's his real name—told me everything," Arata explained.
"He said Black Zetsu is not just some creature… he's immortal, and he's been manipulating the world for a long time."
Madara raised an eyebrow. "Wait. Kurama? You call the Nine Tails by name?"
"Of course," Arata nodded. "He's not a pet or a weapon. He's my partner."
Madara muttered something under his breath, maybe a little impressed.
Then Arata walked to his desk, pulled out a scroll, and unrolled it.
"This scroll is what helped me understand the truth. Kurama helped me read it. It's written by someone connected to the Sage of the Six Paths."
"Wait, the Sage? Like the actual Sage not normal Sage who use nature chakra like Hashirama and you ?" Izuna asked, wide-eyed.
Arata nodded.
"This scroll talks about Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. The real origin. The first one to ever use chakra. She came to Earth from another world. Fell in love with a human named Tenji. But he betrayed her. He got greed for land (Its Au) and gave her to other while she was Carrying Tenji's Children ,Out of Anger She ate the Chakra Fruit without understanding it, and his body twisted into something else."
Everyone startled—but Arata was calm.
"But wait…" Hashirama scratched his head, looking confused.
"How did all the tailed beasts end up inside you, son? I mean, we all know you're strong. You can defeat and seal them easily, probably stronger than me and Madara combined."
He looked at Madara, who just huffed but didn't argue.
"But still…" Hashirama continued, "you never even left Konoha. So how did you find them, fight them, and seal them all inside yourself?"
Tobirama, Izuna, and Madara nodded.
They were thinking the same thing.
"Ah, right,"
Inside his mind, Arata whispered:
"Kurama, are you ready?"
A deep voice responded, calm and confident.
"Yes. And Jake too, even if he's quiet as always," Kurama said.
Another voice added,
"Noted, boss," said the System, Jake.
They were no longer in the Hokage's office.
They were standing in the middle of a peaceful forest—calm wind, green grass, and the sound of flowing water in the distance.
Everyone looked around in awe.
"Whoa…" Hashirama said, smiling.
"I didn't expect your mind to look like this, Arata. It's actually peaceful."
"I thought it'd be more chaotic," Madara said, raising an eyebrow.
"You know, because you're always so dramatic."
"I'll take that as a compliment," Arata smirked.
Tobirama and Izuna chuckled while scanning the area cautiously.
Then Arata spoke again.
"Kurama, you can come out now."
Everyone looked up—the Nine-Tails was sitting on a mountain behind Arata, watching them calmly.
Kurama slowly stood up, his massive form shrinking until he matched their size. Then he jumped down and landed beside Arata.
"Hmm… I've seen everything through your eyes," Kurama said.
"You told them the truth."
"Of course," Arata nodded. "Now it's your turn."
"Right," Kurama said, looking at everyone.
"But first… Hashirama, right?"
"Y-yeah?" Hashirama replied, scratching the back of his head.
"You called me Kurama. I appreciate that. Most humans call me 'Nine-Tails' or 'Monster'."
Madara crossed his arms. "Tch, so… where are the others? The other tailed beasts?"
Kurama turned and pointed a claw at the mountains behind him.
"They're up there. Resting."
"Can we see them?" Hashirama asked.
"Sure. Go ahead."
Hashirama didn't wait. He jumped up the mountain.
Madara, Izuna, and Tobirama followed.
They landed silently and looked out—the other tailed beasts were all lying there, some sleeping, some just resting with eyes closed.
They were massive, but peaceful
Kurama stood beside Arata as they just arrived .
"Now, let me explain," he said.
"Yeah where we were .yeah... That betrayal and that incomplete fruit gave birth to the Ten Tails. Kaguya tried to stop it, but… things went out of control."
Kurama walked forward, his eyes glowing.
"And after Kaguya was sealed by her sons,My Father Sage of 6 path and his Brother " Kurama continued, "her will gave birth to something. A black shadow. Something not alive, not dead. Something made of pure hate and manipulation."
"Black Zetsu," Arata said again.
"He calls himself her's son… but in truth, he's Kaguya's will, trying to bring her back."
Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Izuna were all quiet now. Listening. Processing.
"Its Complicated ?" Tobirama asked slowly.
"Yeah," Arata nodded. "And there are other types of Zetsu to like The white Zetsus are people whoseLife Force was stolen by Kaguya. Their bodies are empty. Like puppets."
"But Black Zetsu… is different. He's smarter. Older. Dangerous."
Kurama spoke again.
"I named him 'Black Zetsu' because he shares their traits… but he's something else. He hides in the shadows. Twisting history. Turning brother against brother."
Arata looked at Madara and Hashirama.
"Like he did to Indra and Asura."
Madara clenched his fist. Hashirama looked down, thoughtful.
Kurama continued,
"For centuries, he's been pushing people toward conflict. Using ninjutsu, something our father created to connect people… turning it into a tool of war."
Everyone just stood there, silent.
"I didn't want to be part of that cycle anymore," Kurama said.
"Arata was the first to really listen. So I helped him. And then…"
"You already know my story. My father, the Sage of Six Paths, created us by splitting the Ten-Tails. After he passed, I watched his sons… Indra and Asura… fight. Over and over."
He looked at Madara and Hashirama.
"They started the cycle. The Uchiha and Senju clans continued it. And even when peace seemed close, war always came back."
Kurama closed his eyes for a moment.
"I didn't understand why… until I noticed a strange presence. A black shadow that kept appearing near key figures in history."
Arata spoke up, "That was Black Zetsu."
Kurama nodded.
"As i said you before I named it that. 'Black' because of its color. 'Zetsu' because it reminded me of those husks—humans drained of life, turned into puppets by Kaguya, the Rabbit Goddess."
Everyone fell silent.
"That thing, Black Zetsu, has one goal: bring Kaguya back," Kurama said.
"And it's dangerous… because it knows the strongest force in this world: Ninshu."
Hashirama blinked. "Ninuhsu? The very thing the Sage created to connect people?i mean i thought it was Myth"
Kurama sighed.
"Yes. But it was twisted into Ninjutsu . Indra used it for war, and I believe Black Zetsu influenced him—used his love and pride against him."
Madara looked away, silent.
"When I attacked the village back then," Kurama continued, "I wasn't in control. I was under the influence of that same dark chakra. It felt like… someone hijacked my will."
Hashirama nodded. "I forgive you. You were not yourself."
Madara added, "I sensed it too. That's why I used my Sharingan to calm you… not to control you, but to help you."
Tobirama and Izuna said nothing, but their silence meant they understood too.
Then Kurama looked at all of them.
"Now, how did I bring my siblings here? Simple."
He looked at Arata.
"Your son gave me that old scroll he found . So i use —a mental link. My father made it so that no matter where we are, we tailed beasts could talk to each other again."
He smiled.
"I used that link and told my siblings the truth about Black Zetsu. About the danger. And we all agreed—the best place to be, the safest, strongest container… is Arata."
"He's stronger than anyone alive," Kurama said proudly.
"And he treats us with respect."
Madara, Hashirama, Tobirama, and Izuna all looked at Arata and nodded.
"Yeah…" Hashirama smiled.
"He's are there any way to Fight that Black Zetsu
