"Damn it!"
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya glared at Kitazawa with a face filled with resentment.
She had been imprisoned for a thousand years. After finally escaping from that endless confinement, she had immediately been defeated once again.
Was she destined to be sealed again and wait another thousand years?
However, with a powerhouse like Kitazawa appearing in the Ninja World, would the backup she had left behind—Black Zetsu—still exist?
Even if he were still alive, would he be able to rescue her again? Just thinking about it made the possibility seem extremely unlikely.
The only consolation was that she was immortal. As long as she remained alive, there would always be hope.
"Do you think I can only seal you?" Kitazawa crouched down and asked calmly.
He could easily guess what Kaguya was thinking.
"I am immortal. You cannot kill me!" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya suddenly felt a foreboding sense of danger and shouted loudly to strengthen her courage.
"I have no intention of killing you." Kitazawa shook his head.
After obtaining Chakra Edible Creation, his original plan had been simple.
Whenever members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan descended upon the Ninja World, he would refine their Chakra into pills.
However, for Kaguya, he had additional plans beyond Chakra Edible Creation.
"I knew you couldn't kill me!" Kaguya snorted coldly as she felt a brief sense of relief.
"It's not that I can't kill you. It's that I don't intend to." After correcting her words, Kitazawa raised his hand with a faint smile.
Kaguya looked at him with confusion.
But the moment she felt the Chakra within her body rapidly draining away, a look of pure terror appeared on her face.
If it had only been ordinary Chakra loss, she would not have cared. At worst, she could simply refine a new Chakra and recover.
But what she was losing now was something entirely different. What was disappearing was her maximum Chakra volume.
That meant the lost Chakra could never be refined or restored. This was a permanent loss.
"Momoshiki's… Chakra Edible Creation?!" Kaguya suddenly realized something and shouted in disbelief.
Only Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki's ability could completely absorb another being's Chakra in this way.
"Are you from the Ōtsutsuki Clan?" Suppressing the fear rising in her heart, Kaguya asked again.
Kitazawa had displayed far too many abilities related to the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Although he did not possess the typical appearance of an Ōtsutsuki, disguising such features was not difficult.
Moreover, Kaguya knew something very clearly.
After she stole and consumed the God Tree Fruit, the Ōtsutsuki Clan would inevitably send someone to hunt her down.
"I am not part of the Ōtsutsuki Clan," Kitazawa answered casually.
"Wait! We can cooperate! I can do anything!" Seeing that nearly half of her maximum Chakra had already vanished, Kaguya suddenly panicked.
Her entire life had revolved around collecting Chakra. Having her Chakra absorbed like this was far more painful than death.
And without Chakra, even immortality would become meaningless. After all, she had no desire to live forever as a powerless being.
"We can indeed cooperate." Kitazawa suddenly stopped absorbing her Chakra. His tone was calm.
The main reason he did not kill Kaguya was simple. He planned to counterattack the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
However, he had no idea where the Ōtsutsuki Clan's true location was within the universe.
Kaguya could serve another purpose. She could act as bait.
After all, the true target of Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki and the others who would later descend upon the Ninja World was Kaguya herself.
If he used her as bait, they would inevitably reveal themselves. At that point, the hidden enemies would be dragged into the light.
And that would allow Kitazawa to deal with them far more easily.
"I am an Ōtsutsuki who consumed the God Tree Fruit. I can help you with many things!"
Hearing that cooperation was possible, Kaguya suddenly felt as if she had survived a catastrophe.
"Since we're cooperating, you must show me your sincerity first." Kitazawa flicked his finger.
The absorption of her Chakra continued.
"No! Not this!" Kaguya shouted instinctively.
"Don't worry. I don't want all of your Chakra." Seeing that she had misunderstood, Kitazawa smiled lightly. "I'll leave you one percent."
"One percent?!" Kaguya's face twisted in anger. "You might as well just kill me!"
"I never said I wouldn't give it back," Kitazawa replied calmly. "As long as you perform well, I'll return Chakra to you as a reward."
Kaguya exhaled slowly. Although she felt somewhat relieved, her expression remained extremely unpleasant.
Losing such a massive amount of Chakra all at once was unbearable for her. But she had no choice but to bow her head.
After all, Kitazawa could easily absorb all of her Chakra and turn her into a pill. Fortunately, there was still a possibility of recovering her power in the future.
Time passed slowly.
The immense Chakra within Kaguya's body gradually condensed within Kitazawa's palm. Eventually, it formed a single white pill.
The pill emitted a mysterious and powerful aura. It was clearly no ordinary object.
At the same time, Kaguya became visibly weaker. The Rinne Sharingan on her forehead automatically closed.
Her face turned pale, as if she had fallen seriously ill. For the first time in her life, Kaguya felt so weak.
At this moment, almost any member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan could defeat her. In fact, perhaps even a Kage-level Shinobi might be able to challenge her.
After all, she now possessed only one percent of her Chakra.
"A goddess who has fallen into the mortal world… how does it feel?" Kitazawa stored the white pill away and asked with a smile.
"You… don't forget what you promised me." Kaguya took a deep breath before speaking.
"I always keep my word." Kitazawa stood up. "Let's go. I'll take you out."
Kaguya froze momentarily. Then she slowly struggled to stand.
Kitazawa grabbed her wrist and activated Double Kamui. The two of them immediately reappeared on the Moon.
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo instantly became vigilant when he saw Kaguya.
However, he quickly noticed something strange. Her aura had weakened drastically. She was even weaker than his current form.
Hagoromo's face showed clear shock. Kitazawa truly possessed the ability to absorb her Chakra?
But then why hadn't he absorbed all of it completely?
Kaguya glanced at Hagoromo with suppressed anger. But with Kitazawa standing nearby, she did not lash out.
Instead, she silently remained where she stood.
"Sir," Hagoromo asked respectfully, "How do you plan to deal with her?"
"She is still useful," Kitazawa answered calmly. "I will take her back to the Capital of the Land of Fire and keep her under my personal supervision."
Hagoromo could not help but feel startled. A trace of hesitation appeared in his expression.
Kaguya had once been extremely powerful. What if she managed to escape?
"You don't need to worry." Kitazawa easily guessed Hagoromo's thoughts.
He smiled faintly. "She definitely won't be able to escape."
Kaguya bit her lip. With her current strength, escaping would indeed be difficult.
But she still believed there was a chance. After all, no matter how powerful Kitazawa was, he could not possibly watch her every second of the day.
"The reason is very simple." Kitazawa turned his head and looked at Kaguya.
At that moment, a vertical slit suddenly appeared on his forehead. The Rinne Sharingan slowly opened.
Hagoromo's pupils shrank instantly. The Rinne Sharingan?!
Kitazawa had actually been hiding such a trump card? When the two of them fought earlier, Hagoromo had never seen that eye appear.
"This is impossible!" Kaguya was so shocked that she took two steps back instinctively, her eyes widening in disbelief.
The fear in her heart far exceeded even that of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo. Because she knew very clearly how terrifying the Rinne Sharingan truly was.
Unless she could escape the Ninja World instantly, she would never be able to escape from the palm of Kitazawa's hand.
In theory, Yomotsu Hirasaka could allow her to leave the Ninja World in an instant.
However, the problem was that she now possessed only one percent of her Chakra. That amount of Chakra was nowhere near enough to support a spatial jump of that distance.
"You know very well whether it's real or fake." Kitazawa raised his hand, pinched Kaguya's chin lightly, and said with a calm smile, "So don't go looking for death."
Kaguya's body trembled slightly, and she hurriedly shook her head.
The Rinne Sharingan could not be faked. Especially since the eye contained an endless amount of terrifying ocular power.
But this only made her confusion grow stronger. Why did Kitazawa possess the Rinne Sharingan?
Did he also have another God Tree somewhere?
At that moment, the confusion in Kaguya's heart reached its peak. She completely failed to understand the origin of Kitazawa's power.
Hagoromo was equally confused. However, he could now finally feel reassured.
Kitazawa, who possessed the Rinne Sharingan, was more than capable of keeping Kaguya under control.
Furthermore, there were also Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, who had inherited the powers of Yin and Yang.
"In that case, I will return to the Pure Land. We will meet again if fate allows." Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo spoke with calm self-awareness.
He did not possess a physical body. Remaining outside the Pure Land for long periods consumed a tremendous amount of energy.
The Pure Land was his true domain. As for the Ninja World, as long as no major crisis occurred, there was no reason for him to interfere.
And now that Kitazawa existed, it was difficult for any crisis to appear.
After Hagoromo departed, Kitazawa returned to the Capital of the Land of Fire together with Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.
"Sasuke, Naruto, you two can go back first," Kitazawa said calmly.
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei!" Naruto and Sasuke answered immediately.
In truth, they both had many questions about today's events. But since Kitazawa had not spoken about it himself, they did not dare ask further.
"What exactly do I need to do?" Kaguya asked impatiently.
"You seem quite eager." Kitazawa pushed open the door and walked into the Hokage Office.
"Supreme Lord." Konan stepped forward immediately to greet him.
Her gaze instinctively drifted toward Kaguya. A question surfaced in her mind. Was this woman even human?
Although Kaguya possessed a human appearance, there was something undeniably abnormal about her presence.
Then Konan remembered Kisame Hoshigaki.
He did not look like a normal human, either. After thinking briefly, she decided not to dwell on it and quietly stood behind Kitazawa.
Kaguya ignored her completely. In her eyes, only Kitazawa existed. Or rather… the Chakra he possessed.
"Tell me about the situation of the Ōtsutsuki Clan." Kitazawa thought for a moment before speaking.
Most of his knowledge about the Ōtsutsuki Clan came from fragments of the original story.
But since he had never watched Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, his understanding remained incomplete.
Now that the opportunity had presented itself, he naturally intended to learn more.
"Are you really not from the Ōtsutsuki Clan?" Kaguya asked instinctively. "Then why do you possess so many abilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clan?"
"I'm the one asking the questions," Kitazawa replied with a faint smile. "What? Do you not even want that one percent of Chakra anymore?"
"I didn't mean that!" Kaguya was instantly terrified.
"Then why are you still silent?" Kitazawa asked calmly.
Kaguya was left speechless with anger. When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Yet she did not dare argue. If she lost that final one percent of Chakra, everything would truly be over.
Thus, Kaguya reluctantly began explaining the situation of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Kitazawa folded his hands together, supporting his chin as he listened quietly.
Konan, however, was completely shocked by what she heard.
So outside the Ninja World, there truly existed a clan that used entire planets as nutrients to cultivate divine trees.
"…If an Ōtsutsuki consumes enough God Tree fruits, they can eventually ascend to become an Ōtsutsuki God."
A look of longing appeared in Kaguya's eyes as she spoke.
Kitazawa nodded slightly. In the original story, there had once been an Ōtsutsuki Shibai who reached that level.
Every action he took could destroy worlds. He transcended the concepts of life and death. He possessed the ability to freely cross dimensions.
How should it be described? It was far too distant.
Kitazawa had no interest in traveling the universe planting divine trees everywhere. Moreover, he possessed the system.
There was no need for him to behave like the mad Ōtsutsuki Clan, destroying planets for power.
The urgent matter at hand was dealing with Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki and the others, who would eventually descend upon the Ninja World.
"Konan." After listening to everything, Kitazawa gave an instruction. "From today onward, she will join the Anbu and be under your management."
"Yes, Supreme Lord." Konan instinctively answered.
After hearing Kaguya's explanation, she already understood that this woman's identity and power were extraordinary.
Yet such a terrifying existence was trembling in fear before Kitazawa and even becoming her subordinate.
It felt almost unreal.
"Your codename from now on will be Kaguya," Kitazawa said as he looked toward her.
"Then, when will you return my Chakra?" Kaguya asked immediately.
She did not care about names. All she wanted was her Chakra.
"That depends on your performance," Kitazawa replied with a faint smile. "If you perform well, I'll return a portion to you."
Kaguya hesitated for a moment. But in the end, she could only nod in agreement.
"Konan, take her to change into Anbu clothing." After saying this, Kitazawa stood up and vanished instantly.
In the next second, he appeared inside the Konoha Casino.
"Tsunade-sensei." Kitazawa walked over to Tsunade and spoke seriously. "I have something important to discuss."
Seeing his expression, Tsunade reluctantly abandoned her gambling.
"Come with me." Kitazawa grabbed her hand and used the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The two instantly arrived inside the Forest of Death.
"What are we doing here?" Tsunade asked with confusion.
"Eat this." Kitazawa took out the pill formed from Kaguya's Chakra.
After considering it carefully, he ultimately decided to give the pill to Tsunade.
Although Tsunade was already powerful, her strength still had limits. If she consumed this pill, she would undergo a complete transformation.
She would become a true top-tier powerhouse.
"What kind of pill is this? It looks pretty extraordinary." Tsunade examined the pill briefly before tossing it into her mouth without hesitation.
The moment she swallowed it, her expression changed drastically. An overwhelming amount of Chakra exploded within her body.
The Chakra surged wildly through her flesh and blood. Her entire body began undergoing a tremendous transformation.
Kitazawa let out a soft sound of surprise.
He saw the surrounding trees begin to tremble violently. It was as if the forest itself was cheering.
Wood Release? Kitazawa thought for a moment before realizing it was not strange.
After all, Tsunade's bloodline ultimately originated from Kaguya. In fact, the bloodlines and Chakra of all Shinobi traced back to Kaguya.
After absorbing Kaguya's Chakra, Tsunade's bloodline began undergoing a regression to her ancestors.
The first ancestor she regressed to was Senju Hashirama. The second ancestor was Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.
Tsunade's eyes transformed into Rinnegan. Finally, the third ancestor she regressed to was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself.
Tsunade's Rinnegan then transformed once again into Byakugan.
