"Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki"
Kaguya directly ignored the second name, silently murmuring the Ōtsutsuki name.
Her cold gaze and the power she had accumulated seemed to be waiting for Takemi to unseal it, so she could directly launch an attack.
Seeing this, Takemi could only shake his head. It seemed the Ōtsutsuki clan still had too much influence on her.
"No need to be so alert. Actually, I think we can have a good talk."
"Talk?"
Kaguya frowned, her voice still as cold as ever.
"I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about."
"If you don't talk, how will you know if it's unnecessary?"
Takemi controlled his Chakra clone to slowly land. Although Kaguya's Chakra was constantly vibrating around him, it didn't affect him as much as he imagined. With the help of the Giant Tenseigan, he could keep his body stable.
"Besides, didn't I say I have another name, Takemi?"
"Takemi."
Kaguya raised an eyebrow. This name was completely different from Ōtsutsuki, even…
"A name of a lower-class being? You would actually put down your pride and take such a name for yourself?"
"No, to be precise, after I came to this world, I was actually called Takemi."
Takemi smiled and shook his head. He looked at Kaguya seriously.
"But ever since I awakened my bloodline power, I was 'given' the name Ōtsutsuki Takemishiki."
Awakened bloodline power?
Kaguya's face was full of strangeness when she heard this. She didn't know what Takemi meant.
"Or, to be more precise, I grew up in this world."
Takemi's smile remained. He stopped in front of Kaguya and slowly said, "And I also grew up listening to the stories of the Sage of Six Paths, which is Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo."
"Grew up in this world? You?"
Kaguya was incredulous, but now she didn't know what to say. The Ōtsutsuki clan was inherently arrogant and disdained to deceive people with lies.
This guy's words made it difficult for Kaguya to judge for a moment. How could there be an Ōtsutsuki who appeared in this world?
"That's right, I grew up in this world."
Takemi showed a look of emotion. Perhaps because he had lied to so many Ōtsutsuki, his performance was unusually natural.
"I once thought I was an ordinary person, until one day I suddenly felt that my Chakra was not right."
"Since then, I have gained a lot of information. Only then did I know that I was extraordinary, and I also gained a new name…"
"Ōtsutsuki Takemishiki?"
Kaguya frowned and spoke, still full of doubts.
"What are you trying to express by saying all this, or what is your purpose?"
"I said we can talk, but before that, I need to understand your attitude." Takemi shook his head and said with a smile.
"This determines whether I will kill you or communicate with you in a different way."
"Kill me?"
Kaguya's gaze narrowed, and her Chakra, which had somewhat calmed down, surged again.
"No need to put on that act. If I really wanted to make a move, I would never waste so much time talking."
Takemi remained calm, seemingly not noticing Kaguya's 'stress reaction'.
"Whether it's others or those Ōtsutsuki, you might even know the two Ōtsutsuki I've dealt with."
"Who?"
Kaguya's gaze was alert, but Takemi smiled. His Chakra rippled slightly, and then two Chakra-constructed illusory figures appeared beside him.
Kaguya scanned them and her heart sank slightly. These two illusory figures were exactly Isshiki and Urashiki.
Of course, Isshiki's situation was a bit off, but it was clear that it was Karma, and he was already close to complete resurrection.
"Isshiki? And Urashiki?"
"That's right, they introduced themselves that way too."
"Then they…"
"Isshiki was forced to resurrect by me, but he only had a few days to live, and now he has turned back into Karma."
"…"
"As for the other Urashiki, he's in an even worse state."
"…"
"His energy has turned into a pill, and his body has been left behind by me, and he himself has used Karma."
"…"
Kaguya's eyes widened. She knew both of them. One was once her guardian, and also the source of her fear.
She knew that her sneak attack back then hadn't killed Isshiki, and in the future, whether Isshiki came back to kill her or acted as a beacon, she would not be able to escape being hunted by her own clan, which was why she had started preparing.
And Urashiki was clearly here to hunt her. He was incredibly strong a thousand years ago.
It's just…
These two were both dealt with by this Ōtsutsuki Takemishiki in front of her?
Moreover, that Urashiki was even refined into a pill, and his body was preserved?
How is this possible?!
Is he that strong?
What on earth is going on?!
"You…"
Kaguya was stunned for a long time before she asked incredulously, "Do you know what you're saying, and do you know what the consequences would be if you really did that?"
"You still don't want to believe it?"
Takemi didn't care. He gently shook his head and said, "I have no need to lie to you. Although you are very strong, there are ways to deal with you."
Takemi wasn't joking. Kaguya's 'bloodline development' was indeed higher than his. But strictly speaking, it wasn't much higher, because he could feel Kaguya's 'upper limit'.
But he was still far from reaching that point, especially…
"When I dealt with Urashiki, I had far less power than I do now, and I am not Isshiki. Don't doubt my words."
Takemi was calm and confident. He had always been the 'source of information'.
"And to be honest, all of this is thanks to your sons."
"Hamura and Hagoromo?"
Kaguya's face immediately turned ugly when she heard about her sons, but Takemi continued to speak calmly, "Don't worry, they are in the Pure Land, but they went there themselves. Strictly speaking, I haven't even met them, let alone fought them."
"Haven't… met or fought?"
Kaguya was a little incredulous, while Takemi nodded.
"That's right. Think back carefully, did I ever say I fought them? Did I ever say they were killed?"
"…"
Kaguya recalled and was dumbfounded to realize that this guy really hadn't said that. He had only used vague words to guide her to think in that direction.
Or rather, after seeing this guy, she subconsciously thought in that direction.
It's just, why would he thank Hagoromo and Hamura?
"The reason I have my current abilities is mainly because of them, or rather, the Sage of Six Paths, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo."
As if knowing what Kaguya was thinking, Takemi spoke leisurely.
"If he hadn't transmitted Chakra to the world, it would be difficult for the world to possess such power."
"If it weren't for the struggle between the brothers Indra and Asura, and if such a struggle hadn't continued for a thousand years, there wouldn't be me today…"
Takemi knew about her lack of information, so he simply and objectively summarized what had happened in the past thousand years.
He wasn't afraid of 'revealing his identity' at all. Whether Kaguya could get out now entirely depended on whether he wanted her to.
This also meant that he wasn't afraid of anything he said to this 'Ninja World Ancestor' being known by others.
Besides, the Sage of Six Paths and his brother both knew, but they didn't react, which was enough to explain everything.
'But, there's no reaction now?'
Takemi was also a little curious. This was their seal after all.
Everything he did, even his conversation with Kaguya, these two could hear.
The fact that these two didn't react only meant one thing. They were also curious about what he wanted to do, or rather…
What he wanted to do, these two could hardly stop him anymore.
"So that's how it is…"
When he simply finished describing the general events of the past thousand years, Kaguya was in a trance.
"I didn't expect so many things to have happened during these thousand years I was sealed."
"That's right."
Takemi nodded, and he also sighed.
"These thousand years might not mean much to you, but they are different for others."
