Chapter 280 - Chapter 281: Bragging Without Paying Taxes

After eating and drinking their fill, Kageyama Kogetsu put everything away.

"Let's go. I'll take you for a tour."

"This used to be your second son's territory. The facilities are quite complete."

Hamura?

A name popped into Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's mind. After a moment of silence, she asked, "What happened to that unfilial son?"

"He should be... completely dead. Anyway, I've never seen his soul," Kageyama Kogetsu said lightly.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki sighed inwardly, but her face remained impassive, as if she didn't care at all.

"Um... Father, I want to go to your space to rest."

"After being busy for a thousand years, now that my goal is achieved, I feel a little tired."

Actually, Black Zetsu wasn't tired. He just wanted to create space for the two of them to be alone and cultivate feelings.

Hehe, I didn't speak up for this son in vain. He has good sense.

Kageyama Kogetsu was smart enough to immediately understand Black Zetsu's intention and felt amused.

With Black Zetsu's special body structure, how could he be tired?

Even if he could be tired, it would only be mental fatigue, not physical. There was actually no need to rest.

"Alright, have a good rest."

With a thought, Kageyama Kogetsu sent Black Zetsu into Daikokuten.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was a bit slow to react and thought Black Zetsu was really tired, so she didn't say anything.

The two tore through space and wandered around the lunar architecture.

After wandering for about an hour, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki stopped and said, "The environment here is too monotonous. I've stayed on the moon for a thousand years. Let's go."

"Alright, let's go for a stroll on Earth."

Kageyama Kogetsu tore through space, crossed the starry sky, and took Kaguya Ōtsutsuki directly to the seaside in the eastern part of the Land of Fire on Earth, with an endless green forest behind them.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki looked around, then stared blankly at the sea. After a long time, she spoke.

"The natural energy of this world can barely cultivate a Chakra Fruit, but its quality will be at most one-third of the one I cultivated."

Kageyama Kogetsu put his hands behind his back and smiled slightly. "I don't intend to use traditional methods to cultivate the God Tree. Instead, I'll use a continuous stream of chakra."

The God Tree absorbs natural energy and converts it into chakra to grow. Absorbing chakra directly skips the long conversion step and allows for faster growth.

"You've already devoured my Ten-Tails. Is there enough chakra in this world now?"

"Correction for the last time: that was my Ten-Tails. I devoured Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, so his things are mine."

"It's not enough for now, but it doesn't matter. I have a long life, so it just takes a little more time."

"Patience is also a necessary quality for a strong person."

Hmm... I wonder if using the Karasuki to return to the past timeline or other parallel dimensions to collect chakra to feed the Ten-Tails would work...

Logically speaking, it probably wouldn't work. Otherwise, the Karasuki, an Ōtsutsuki treasure, would be too heaven-defying.

Collecting chakra repeatedly in different timelines and parallel worlds—that would be insane!

The world, no, a universe would be thrown into chaos. If it really had such a heaven-defying ability, the Karasuki would deserve to be the clan treasure of the Ōtsutsuki clan!

A treasure of this level would definitely be kept under lock and key. Even if it were lost, they would spare no cost to retrieve it!

It is speculated that some things can be changed through the Karasuki, but the extent of change is likely limited. Perhaps general trends cannot be changed, but minor trends can.

Looking at the worldview of "Naruto," even the Ōtsutsuki clan cannot override the rules of the universe.

They can use the rules of the world and the universe, but they cannot modify the rules at will.

Unlike the Dao Ancestors in some cultivation novels who directly override the rules, or are the rules themselves, molding the past, present, future, and three thousand worlds as they please...

"Are you confident in dealing with the Ōtsutsuki clan's pursuers?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki asked after a moment of silence.

"Yes, as long as not too many people come."

"Specific number?"

"If based on your strength or slightly stronger than you, even if four come together, I have a fifty to sixty percent chance of winning."

"Seven, this world can also withstand, and the pressure won't be great."

"You handle one, your eldest son handles one, and the remaining one will be handled by the ninja world led by my other two godsons. It won't be difficult."

"In my estimation, if the whole world works together, we can probably contend with nine."

"Do you think the Ōtsutsuki clan might send nine or more people?"

Kageyama Kogetsu didn't know if his estimate was accurate...

He used the average strength of Momoshiki, Urashiki, Kinshiki, and regular Kaguya Ōtsutsuki as a reference.

He also took their personality flaws into account. Some Ōtsutsuki members were truly reckless.

But accuracy wasn't very important. Anyway, bragging wasn't taxed. Just showing confidence was enough.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's expression changed, and she was very surprised. "Impossible. At most two groups, which means four people, will be sent at once."

"But are you and this world really that strong?"

"When Isshiki and I came here, one group basically cleaned up the resistance."

Kageyama Kogetsu smiled slightly. "The situation you mentioned was a thousand years ago."

"A thousand years of continuous ninja warfare has made the ninja of this world brave and skilled in battle, developing many impressive ninjutsu."

"You can understand them as weakened versions of abilities, dōjutsu, and divine jutsu."

"Although most ninjutsu are useless against the Ōtsutsuki clan, some are still effective."

For example, the Shadow Clone Technique. This jutsu caused losses to the Ōtsutsuki clan members invading Earth, and Isshiki Ōtsutsuki was the one who suffered the most.

"Besides ninjutsu, there is also senjutsu, which involves adding natural energy to chakra, greatly increasing the power of jutsu and making attacks effective."

"I plan to select a group of elite ninja to practice senjutsu and create a senjutsu army."

"Besides ninjutsu and senjutsu, there is also science."

"You don't understand this science. It can develop offensive weapons independently, or combine with ninjutsu and senjutsu."

"In short, don't underestimate mortals."

"In many aspects, mortals are inferior to the naturally powerful and long-lived Ōtsutsuki clan members."

"But in terms of creativity, it's not certain, maybe even stronger. Creativity can derive infinite possibilities."

"Your White Zetsu army happens to lack creativity, with an extremely low upper limit. They are just cannon fodder to consume enemy chakra, can't even fly, and aren't very useful."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was silent for a long time before saying, "Although I don't understand some of what you said, my preparations have failed."

"In that case, let's give it a try. I hope the possibilities you mentioned can be realized."

Although not fully confident that all of them could be realized, Kageyama Kogetsu still appeared confident.

"They will definitely be realized."

The ninja world's tech tree was skewed, but the foundation wasn't bad. If corrected, it might not be impossible to develop sci-fi weapons.

If developed well, maybe under his leadership, the ninja world would become a fantasy world combining sci-fi and supernatural powers.

If the Ōtsutsuki clan members' ability to ignore ninjutsu was nullified, they wouldn't be so terrifying.

"What are you doing?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki looked down, confused, uncomfortable, and angry.

It turned out that Kageyama Kogetsu grabbed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's hand after finishing his speech.

The touch was cold, soft, and smooth, like a piece of top-quality cold jade...
