That chakra.

"Chakra... after so long... I can feel chakra again."

A black mass started to slowly exit the mouth of a statue, a giant hooden statue with 9 eyes that had 8 of those eyes completely open, and a single eye closed. The black mass slithered out of the mouth of the statue, and slowly formed into a humanoid form after it was finished dripping onto the ground.

It knew that chakra.

He had not been able to sense that chakra, the chakra he needed, for so long. The ninja world, that was the last time he had felt any chakra at all. When his forces went to war against the ninja world, and still failed to find the missing piece of his master plan. The complete destruction of all ninja, and then the moon crashing into the planet and destroying all life on the planet. He had given up all hope, and just decided to retreat into the statue.

Eventually, the Kyuubi he needed would respawn.

It never did though, even when the Shinigami died and the half of the Kyuubi's chakra inside of it was released. That half of the Kyuubi never respawned either into the world, it was a horrifying thought that he would never be able to complete his goal. So he merged into the statue, and prepared to sleep forever. To sleep forever, and forever, until the day that the Kyuubi did respawn and wrecked havoc on the human world once more.

7 eyes opened up along his black mass of a body.

5 of the eyes were red eyes that each had 4 pupils, three pupils surrounding the middle pupil, and the last 2 eyes were purple eyes that were completely purple with black rings in them. The eyes stared at each other.

"His name..."

He used the memories store in the eyes, his sleep had robbed him of his goal, his memories, his mission. He was immortal, truly immortal in that age would never kill him. He protected these eyes and the memories inside of them, knowing that as long as he had these eyes he could always remember his mission and protect himself. If he were to be killed, he could sacrifice an eye and rewrite reality itself so that he could escape.

"... is Naruto Uzumaki... his chakra, I can sense him. I sense my Jinchuriki... how though... how is he still around?"

Naruto Uzumaki.

The missing piece of the puzzle, and now he understood the reason why the Kyuubi had never respawned. Naruto was still alive, if the Kyuubi were to respawn, it could only respawn inside of Naruto. Naruto was it's jinchuriki, where it's connection to the planet was at it's strongest.

He was Black Zetsu.

He used the Sharingans in his body to impact the memories that he lost back inside of his mind, and reminded himself of the plans that he had forgotten. He was immortal, but he had been asleep so long that all of his memories were gone. He had stolen these Sharingan and Rinnegan for the purpose of being able to remind himself of his mission, and to implant them into those who could one day achieve his mission for him.

Sasuke Uchiha's Sharingan eyes.
Itachi Uchiha's Sharingan eyes.
Obito Uchiha's single Sharingan eye.
Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan eyes, stolen from Nagato Uzumaki.

Each eye had memories in their chakra, each of them had been a part of his plan at some point or had read the ancient plan that he had laid before their clan. With these eyes he could never fail to remember who he was, and what he knew that he would have to achieve.

"It's just as strong as the day he vanished... the chakra that can be sensed from countries away. Yes, that chakra can't belong to anyone other than Naruto... how though... how has he escaped for so long... how has he survived?" Black Zetsu looked around, trying to understand how many years had passed.

He had so many questions.

Did Naruto survive, or was he transported forward in time by a Ninjutsu? There were so many questions that could be asked, but they didn't matter. Naruto had brought hope back to his non-existent heart, and that was what was important.

"White Zetsu..."

The earth below him started to morph, and a white figure started to rise out of it, as if awakening from a long slumber. The ageless beings that existed far below the surface of the earth itself, that he could command as easily as humans could breath.

"Report to me... the state of the world."

The entire earth had the White Zetsu network underneath it, working together to be able to provide him information whenever he asked for it. All he needed to do was to call the name of a single zetsu and the entire network would activate once more.

"Huuuuuuuuh!? We're awake again!"

Black Zetsu fused to White Zetsu, and they became Zetsu once more with a half white and half black body. The sharingan and rinnegan eyes hidden inside of their body. He looked through the memories of the zetsu network that they maintained in their sleep.

"Kuoh... in Japan... the language is similar to our own. Lets see... Naruto has not lost his skills in combat." Zetsu chuckled to himself as he viewed the unconscious memories that white zetsu in Japan had formed. He could see clearly as Naruto killed a man with black wings, some sort of new species of demon perhaps. He didn't care though, the black winged man did not possess chakra which was strange. "Collect the body... collect it and bring it here." Zetsu gave his order to the zetsu network.

The ground shifted and morphed.

The mindless zetsu that existed in the network started to teleport the body of this Kokabiel, merging him with the ground and travelling the entire distance in moments. Kokabiel's corpse came out of the ground, and Zetsu examined it for a moment. He saw the knife wound on the back of his skull.

A zetsu fused to his body.

"HAH!"

Kokabiel was brought back to life, his body fused with a Zetsu and strengthened. His brain repaired and fused with the zetsu's brain, his heart restarted. His body even enhanced as the white Zetsu's chakra system fused with his own body.

"Hello... Kokabiel-kun, it's nice to see you are awake after your unfortunate death. You may call me Black Zetsu, or God... I've selected you for a mission. Would you like revenge?" Black Zetsu whispered as Kokabiel slowly started to stand up.

Kokabiel punched the boulder next to him.

It exploded, and it wasn't a small boulder. He could feel the strength in his body, he could feel a new energy inside of him that empowered him even further. A confused look started to slowly form on his face. Everything about him was much stronger than it was before, of that he could just tell from a basic analysis of his body.

"I... died?"

He didn't remember dying, all he remembered was pain and then... he remembered nothing after that.

"You died, killed by our nemesis... Naruto Uzumaki."

"... Naruto Uzumaki... a strange name. And you are... the one who brought me back, and made me even stronger?" Kokabiel asked as he formed a Spear of Light in his hand.

It was different.

It was bigger, enhanced even more by the new energy in his body than his strength was. His yellow spear of light had changed in color, now being yellow with black flames of energy bursting out of the yellow light. He felt much stronger than before.

"I fused one of my White Zetsu to you to revive you, and enhance you with their strength, speed, durability, and chakra... you will heal faster, strike harder, take hits better, run quicker, and your energy attacks are now enhanced to be 5 times more potent than before. This is my gift to you, do you not like it... do I need to give you more?" Black Zetsu spoke in a seductive whisper, his promise of more power got Kokabiel's attention.

Kokabiel summoned his wings.

No longer were they limited at just 10 wings, he had a full 12 wings showing that his power had reached the limits of his species and gone beyond that. His body and power was so much further beyond what it had been before, that his body had been forcefully evolved to the next stage. He cackled as he saw the wings at his back, and he formed a spear of light and pointed it at Black Zetsu.

"You call yourself god... very well, what is your goal O'God?" Kokabiel spun his spear in his hand, and tested the control he had over his new power. He was so much more powerful than before that he felt ashamed of himself.

He was ashamed of the weakling he had been before his death.

He could have attained this strength before now, or maybe he could only attain this strength because he had died and been brought back.

"I want Naruto Uzumaki brought to me alive, whatever you want to do with your power beyond that is of no concern to me. If you wish to run rampant with your power, it is of no concern to me. Bring him to be alive, and I will give to you one of my prized eyes." Black Zetsu summoned the eyes that he had hidden inside of himself.

Kokabiel looked at them.

Those eyes gave off a scary aura to them, as if they were something unnatural to the world. They radiated power and evil.

"How powerful is this... Naruto Uzumaki?"

"Very... can you not sense him? With your new body, you should be able to sense his chakra from here."

"... He is powerful... I can sense him." Kokabiel was wondering what that power he couldn't sense before was, but smiled to himself as he thought of the battle he would be able to enjoy if he went and fought this warrior. The power possessed by that warrior was still far above the new power inside of his own body, but he was sure that the battle would be amazing down to the last drop of blood spilled. "Hahahaha! Well then, God, as long as you don't mind me slaughtering countless beings, then you have yourself a deal."

Black and White Zetsu grinned.

"Do what you want with your power, it is yours to do as you please with. Just get me my prize, and I will give everything to you. If you fail, then there will be no second chance. The White Zetsu fused to your body will unfuse from you, and you will perish." Zetsu told him the simple situation that he was in.

Kokabiel didn't have a choice in the matter.

Power was the carrot, and death was the stick.

Kokabiel didn't even care about that, he just laughed at the top of his lungs as he thought of the wars he would wage with his new power. The devils and angels he could slaughter, and the civilizations he could bring to their knees.

"Of course, I'll need soldiers... you can't expect me to do this by myself." Kokabiel stated.

He wanted an army, an army that would slaughter in his name. By himself, he was powerful, but if he had an army then he could start a war with his very own side.

15 spots on the earth started to turn white.

15 White Zetsu started to mindlessly come out of the ground, finishing forming into soldiers for Kokabiel to use as he saw fit. Kokabiel grinned when he saw the 15 soldiers that would be the beginning to his own army.

"So... these soldiers... how many do you have at your command."

"100,000... they can absorb energy from their enemies, gain their memories and powers, and perfectly replicate them. They have intelligence that surpasses humans, can access each other's memories. Their bodies can fuse together with victims, and each other. They have regeneration powers, and are each worth the value of between 10 and 100 trained warriors from my era. They do not tire, have no need for food or water, and will never need rest." Black Zetsu spoke as he grinned.

It wasn't wrong.

The average ninja stood no chance against a White Zetsu, they were each powerful, and it took talented and trained ninja to take them out. They were an army that could wear down any enemy army to the dirt, and infiltrate the enemies by posing as allies. It took an elite Chunin or a Jonin to be able to take them down.

Kokabiel laughed.

"You give me 15 of your 100,000 soldiers... but you speak as if you have just given me..." Kokabiel paused when he saw one of the White Zetsu start to transform. They used the information that they stole from him, and transformed into a perfect copy of him when he had only 10 wings. "... what is this?" Kokabiel asked as he looked at the Zetsu.

"This Zetsu that has taken your form, has all of the abilities you had before you were enhanced. I give you 15 soldiers that can copy the powers and skills of their enemies... you have access to 15 soldiers who are each worth between 10 and 100 warriors... depending on how good you are as a leader." Black Zetsu whispered to Kokabiel.

Kokabiel believed him now.

"... 15... you just gave me 1,500 warriors worth of an army... that is more than enough to fight against this Naruto Uzumaki you wish to capture. I will have your Uzumaki to you." Kokabiel stated as he turned away from Black Zetsu and walked off, his 15 soldiers walking behind him as he did so. He had a wicked grin on his face as he walked. All 12 of his wings flared as he took to the sky, and his 15 soldiers took to the ground as they fused with the earth below.

They were going back to Kuoh.

War was on the horizen.

"Is he going to win?" White Zetsu asked his black half.

"Possible, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I would have given him a Sharingan if I thought his chances were better, but he seems strong. Naruto was training in Sage Mode, if he mastered the same techniques as his Master did this will be the best way to test if current battle power. We will make adjustments to the plan based on the results of Kokabiel's failure." Black Zetsu spoke with a wicked tone.

He just figured the recently dead Kokabiel would make for a good and easy to control pawn, enhancing him by fusing a Zetsu to him was just the very basics of his plan. His Zetsu network was now active all over the globe once more, so he would watch this battle and see just how powerful Naruto had become after his Sage training. Easy to control pawns were the best to dispose of when needed, because he could just get a dozen more of them at the drop of a hat.

"So cruel, what if he manages to win?"

"Then good, but without a Sharingan or Rinnegan, his chances of beating Sage Mode are slim... provided Naruto actually managed to learn it." Black Zetsu spoke with a knowing tone. He remembered the battle between Jiraiya and Pain, and how even Pain was nearly defeated by the old man that used Sage Mode, and that was WITH the Rinnegan.

If Jiraiya had known Pain's secret before the fight, then it could be easily said that Jiraiya might have actually defeated the Rinnegan user. Those who had Sage Mode were not to be underestimated under any circumstances.

"Wouldn't it be best if he didn't know about us... if we attack in secret?"

"The White Zetsu fused to Kokabiel won't allow him to spill any secrets, anyway, Naruto doesn't know where we are. We only get one surprise attack, if he use that surprise attack and waste of of our eyes during it, Naruto will know we have them... it's better to save those for our real attacks later when we find suitable hosts for them." Black Zetsu was going to play the longer game with this. His expectations were that Kokabiel had a low chance of success, but that depended on if Naruto had access to Sage Mode or not.

He would not risk a Sharingan or the Rinnegan if he didn't have the answer to that question.
