As the group begins to process everything that's been said, Sakura speaks up, her brow furrowed with concern. "So, Kaguya really won't help anymore? She said this is her secondary home, right?" She looks toward Black Zetsu, searching for any sign of hope. "Does that mean she's done with the ninja world?"

Black Zetsu lets out a low chuckle, almost amused by the question. "Oh, my dear Sakura," he says, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Did you think Kaguya was someone who would simply toss her creations aside?" He glances at the others, a smirk forming on his face. "Kaguya remembers much more than all of you. She's smarter than anyone gives her credit for."

Naruto looks puzzled. "Wait, so she's still capable of helping, right? It's not like she can just vanish completely, can she?"

Sasuke, still skeptical, stands silently, letting Black Zetsu answer.

Black Zetsu looks back at Sakura, his smirk widening. "Kaguya's goals are her own. She may not wish to help, but she can always change her mind if she deems it necessary. However, her remembering more than all of you means she has the foresight you could never hope to achieve. Keep that in mind."

The room grows quieter as the weight of Black Zetsu's words sinks in. It's clear that Kaguya is far more powerful—and strategic—than anyone anticipated.
