Black Zetsu was sucked directly into the sky by this gravitational pull, his mental state on the verge of collapse.
Unable to break free at all, he also saw the person casting this Planetary Devastation.
This Planetary Devastation was the exact same technique used to seal his mother, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
He never expected Uchiha Ryōsuke to actually chase him all the way here, and he roared in despair.
"How do you even know a technique like this?"
He simply couldn't comprehend how someone like this could appear in the shinobi world.
After all, he had lived for so long.
He had never encountered such a genius—someone who not only awakened the Rinnegan but also mastered the incredibly powerful Eight Inner Gates.
It defied all logic for a young man to reach this level of strength.
Given the opponent's current power, even if his mother were to act personally, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
A faint smile appeared on Ryōsuke's face.
"Isn't it perfectly normal to know this move when you have the Rinnegan? Just be a good boy and get sealed."
"I will take good care of your mother for you."
Hearing this, Black Zetsu froze instantly.
'Does this person know my goal?'
'Could this guy also be an ancient monster from thousands of years ago?'
'But thinking about it, that's impossible.'
'Even the Sage of Six Paths never noticed my existence, so how could anyone else know?'
"What exactly do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like."
Ryōsuke wasn't lying to Black Zetsu.
When he had some free time, he would have to make a trip to the moon.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was undeniably a Six Paths-level powerhouse; the rewards granted by having a child with her would likely be even more terrifying.
Naturally, he had to take good care of her.
As the rocks and chunks of earth continued to rise, Black Zetsu was ultimately sealed within the massive sphere in the sky.
Only then did Ryōsuke activate his Rinnegan's visual prowess, sending the sphere directly into outer space.
Having done all this, Ryōsuke finally felt at ease.
Obito and Black Zetsu had both been taken care of.
Next, it was time for him to return and support the village.
Along the way, he brought back the immobilized Orochimaru, who was still trapped in a genjutsu, and used the Sealing Bottle to seal the Ten-Tails.
The Ten-Tails was the incarnation of the Divine Tree; perhaps it would be of great use in the future.
After finishing all this, he opened a portal and arrived directly at the gates of the Leaf Village.
The people of the Leaf Village should be fighting the White Zetsu army here.
Stepping through the portal, he was met with a heart-wrenching scene.
Hordes of White Zetsu were besieging the Leaf Village shinobi.
Surprisingly, they had gained the upper hand on the Leaf's battlefield.
The village was clearly locked in a bitter struggle, with a massive number of houses destroyed.
The corpses of Leaf Village ninja littered the ground, and there were quite a few of them.
Shockingly, many Anbu operatives had also perished.
This caused Ryōsuke to frown.
He truly hadn't expected a situation like this.
'Aren't the White Zetsu just a bunch of weaklings?'
'Did I underestimate their combat power?'
Among the fighters, Tsunade was also caught in a grueling battle. Even though she could shatter a White Zetsu with a single punch, an endless stream of them would immediately swarm into her line of sight.
Seeing this, Ryōsuke immediately joined the fray.
He arrived in front of Tsunade like a bolt of lightning and charged straight at the White Zetsu. In less than ten seconds, he wiped out the ones besieging her.
Seeing Ryōsuke's arrival, Tsunade's face instantly lit up with joy.
Since Ryōsuke was here, it meant the enemies outside the village had already been dealt with.
"Ryōsuke, are my grandfather and the others alright?"
"They're fine. As long as we control Orochimaru to release the Impure World Reincarnation, they can return to the Pure Land."
Only then did Tsunade breathe a sigh of relief.
"Ryōsuke, we need your help again. There's just no end to these White Zetsu."
"Alright."
Since Ryōsuke had returned to the village, he naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch.
He couldn't use large-scale destructive ninjutsu inside the village; otherwise, a single Tailed Beast Bomb would have been enough to wipe them out.
However, he still had a way.
He immediately formed hand seals.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu."
A massive cloud of thick smoke erupted, and a thousand clones appeared on either side of him before charging toward the White Zetsu.
His clones drew their kunai, and the White Zetsu army was completely powerless to resist.
Like a swarm of locusts, the clones eradicated every White Zetsu in their path.
Ryōsuke had allocated a massive amount of chakra to each clone, so their strength was naturally formidable.
Tsunade was stunned by the sight.
Ryōsuke's clones almost all possessed Jōnin-level strength, easily dispatching the White Zetsu.
'This means almost every clone has the chakra reserves of a Jōnin. How terrifying,' she thought.
'Most importantly, there are a thousand of them!'
Filled with pleasant surprise, she watched as the village's situation immediately improved with Ryōsuke's help.
Not only had Ryōsuke resolved the inhuman-level battle outside the village, but he was also turning the tide inside.
'It seems my choice back then was the right one,' she mused.
As Ryōsuke's clones entered every corner of the battlefield...
...the White Zetsu there were mowed down like grass.
The shinobi were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Facing the countless White Zetsu army, they had originally been under immense pressure.
Now, they all stared at the scene before them in disbelief. Despite their overwhelming numbers, the White Zetsu couldn't even withstand that man's clones.
Although that man hadn't been active among the Leaf's upper echelons, he had taken action once again after several years.
Such terrifying power—he truly lived up to his title as the strongest person in the village.
Meanwhile, a ninja shouted out.
"Quick, take the wounded to the ninja hospital! They might still be saved!"
While some rejoiced that their lives had been spared, others couldn't find it in their hearts to be happy, as many of their comrades had perished.
One of Ryōsuke's clones arrived at another battlefield.
He immediately began slaughtering the White Zetsu that appeared.
Especially when he spotted three teenagers.
It was Tenten, Hyūga Neji, and Rock Lee.
The clone rushed over, killing the White Zetsu that were besieging them, and then noticed the figure lying on the ground.
His eyes filled with disbelief.
'How is this possible?' The person lying on the ground was actually Might Guy.
Although Might Guy wasn't as strong as him, he was still a highly formidable taijutsu ninja in the village.
"Why did Guy die?"
