Black Zetsu appeared here because he was bringing things to Bai Mo.
The collected blood and the organized catalog were all handed over to Bai Mo.
Originally, Black Zetsu was only going to deliver the catalog, but after reading the several scripts he got on the way, Black Zetsu changed his mind.
It was safest to hand these things over to Bai Mo.
He had no power, and his intelligence was insufficient.
He also had to search for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's whereabouts.
As his mother's clan member, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki might possess the power to truly kill him, so these things absolutely could not remain with him.
After receiving these items, Bai Mo gave Black Zetsu a simple task: to collect the blood of the people in the Land of Snow and hand it over to Hidan.
—
On the deck.
Kakashi reluctantly put down the script.
He had finished reading all the scripts.
Not only was it "The Lotus Lantern: Ōtsutsuki Chenxiang," which was currently being filmed, but there were also other scripts.
These scripts had all been signed and bought by the director at high prices and high shares.
The types of these movies were also different.
The movie currently being filmed was suitable for all ages, focusing more on the eruption of emotions.
The other ones, however, had grand scenes, with many battle sequences described in the plot.
For example, one script told the story of an alien girl, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, adopted by an Earth couple, who, upon growing up, discovered her superhuman strength and began to punish evil and promote good, helping ordinary people.
Until one day, people from her home planet arrived on Earth with a fleet, intending to destroy Earth and transform it into a nursery for the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki resolutely chose to stand with humanity, fighting a desperate battle against her clan members, a battle that darkened the sky and extinguished the sun and moon.
To protect Earth, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki painfully killed all her clan members who had come to Earth.
However, some people did not trust her, believing she possessed overly powerful and uncontrollable strength, and began to find ways to target Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
So they used the corpses of the Ōtsutsuki who died in the previous great war to create a "Doomsday" designed to kill Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki fought Doomsday to protect everyone, and they perished together.
Until one day, crisis descended again, and enemies from outer space reappeared in the Ninja World.
Everyone united, but they were still utterly defeated.
At this point, they finally remembered Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and decided to revive her... These plots clearly had many grand scenes, and Kakashi thought they were very good, but what he really wanted to see was content similar to Jiraiya's Icha Icha series.
Preferably, it should contain various emotional entanglements, unrequited love, hatred born from love, hatred turning into love, and other melodramatic plots.
So, after reading the scripts, Kakashi subtly asked Bai Mo if he had any ideas in that direction, and even secretly handed Bai Mo a treasured copy of Icha Icha Paradise.
"Writing something of that genre is certainly no problem.
However, you should be aware that as the master who wrote those scripts just now, if I rashly publish some romantic, or even vulgar, content, it could easily affect my image... So, I'll publish it under your name, Kakashi, is that okay?"
Bai Mo looked at Kakashi, waiting for his reply.
"Okay, no problem."
Kakashi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
There was no loss in agreeing to this condition, as Jiraiya's example showed.
Moreover, if it was published under his name, he might even get to see the content in advance.
— Kakashi was truly hungry.
After all, Jiraiya's Icha Icha series was severely delayed.
Kakashi received a copy of Icha Icha Paradise when he was eighteen, and he still hadn't seen the next book.
According to the plot, the next book, "Icha Icha Tactics," would only be written after Jiraiya and Naruto gathered material during their training.
Seeing Kakashi agree, Bai Mo, having nothing else to do, decided to write something casually during the journey to the Land of Snow.
Half a day later.
The ship had entered the cold northern regions.
To film specific scenes, the route to the Land of Snow was not directly across the continent, but rather by sailing around the continent.
Bai Mo completed his work and handed the novel to the director who was currently filming: "This is something Kakashi wrote. He's too embarrassed to say it, so he asked me to help him publish it."
"Oh? Of course, no problem."
The director looked at Kakashi on the other side in surprise and took the novel manuscript.
As a famous director from the Land of Fire, he naturally had channels for novel publication.
The director opened the manuscript and briefly skimmed through it, then looked up at Bai Mo with a confused expression: "This... is this really written by Kakashi Hatake?"
"Of course. Don't let Kakashi's usual cool demeanor fool you; he's actually a closet pervert. Look, this is a book he just gave me, it's his favorite thing to read."
Bai Mo pulled out the Icha Icha Paradise that Kakashi had just given him from behind his back.
"Then it's not surprising, not surprising at all."
The director instantly understood.
At the same time, the director and Kakashi, who had looked over, made eye contact. Kakashi scratched his head, giving an embarrassed smile, which further confirmed the director's belief without any doubt.
Kakashi's gaze was entirely on the manuscript; he now really wanted to see what Bai Mo had written.
However... "You all go into the cabin, put away the equipment, and find a corner to wait. Enemies are coming soon."
"Huh? Oh, okay, okay!"
Hearing Bai Mo's warning, the director immediately ordered his crew to start packing things up.
The filming equipment was not cheap.
Soon, only the director remained on deck, holding a simple video camera and tied to the ship with a rope, fearing that the commotion would be too great and he would be tossed into the sea.
But fear or not, filming had to continue.
What if there was some spectacular scenery?
"Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, prepare for the enemy!"
Kakashi also noticed the enemy figures appearing on the ice.
The four of them jumped down from the ship.
"They finally came."
Koyuki Kazahana looked at the Snow Ninja appearing below, clutching the hexagonal crystal on her chest, her expression a little nervous.
"Not 'finally.' These people's ninjutsu can only be used in this icy and snowy place, so they could only wait for us here."
Bai Mo walked over and stood beside Koyuki Kazahana, revealing the Snow Ninja's "weakness."
Their Ice Release was comparable to Chōjūrō's Water Release; it couldn't be used in poor environments at all.
Otherwise, why would they wait until here to attack?
Even those so-called Demon Brothers from the Land of Waves knew to ambush on the road.
Hmm... Bai Mo wondered if Black Zetsu's task was not yet done?
Bai Mo's self-preservation and support abilities were now top-notch, but his offensive methods, especially large-scale destructive ones, were lacking.
When he punched Raikage before, he didn't use gravity reversal. Firstly, there was no need to make Raikage a one-armed man prematurely, and secondly, that move was best used as a first-strike kill. Using it on Raikage would be a waste, and he might even be an ally in the future.
As Bai Mo thought this, the Snow Ninja below began to use "mass-destruction" ninjutsu.
A giant ice crystal white whale leaped from the ice, crashing towards the ship.
"Hold on to me."
Bai Mo said to Koyuki Kazahana beside him, then grabbed the ship's railing.
The entire ship suddenly floated up into the sky.
