Chapter Index

    “Oh my, isn’t this my most respected Senior Isshiki?” Ōtsutsuki Urashiki said with a playful smile.

    “So Senior Isshiki, you’re still alive? I thought that Kaguya fellow had killed you,” Ōtsutsuki Urashiki continued.

    Isshiki remained unfazed, responding calmly, “There’s no need for such jokes.”

    “You’re right, after all, it’s Senior Isshiki; how could he be killed by someone like Kaguya, who would dare to defy him?”

    “However, Senior Isshiki, your current state doesn’t seem to be very good.”

    Ōtsutsuki Urashiki intentionally or unintentionally brought up Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s condition.

    He could see that the Karma seal on Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s host body had completely unfrozen, allowing for reincarnation at any time.

    So why wasn’t Ōtsutsuki Isshiki reincarnating? There was only one answer: the vessel’s body was not up to standard and couldn’t fully contain the Ōtsutsuki’s Chakra.

    Reincarnating into an unqualified vessel was tantamount to suicide for an Ōtsutsuki; they wouldn’t live for more than a few days.

    “You don’t need to worry about me. It’s just a minor issue, and I’ll resolve it very soon.”

    Ōtsutsuki Isshiki maintained a casual demeanor, but he was secretly beginning to gather his strength, ready to strike at any moment.

    The Ōtsutsuki Clan was not harmonious or friendly, but generally, infighting was not allowed.

    However, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki’s situation was special now; if Ōtsutsuki Urashiki truly eliminated him, there would likely be no punishment.

    “A minor issue? I doubt it. Senior Isshiki, given your current state, finding a suitable vessel won’t be easy. How about we cooperate?” Ōtsutsuki Urashiki said with a smile.

    “What do you want to do?” Ōtsutsuki Isshiki neither refused nor agreed, but instead probed Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s intentions.

    “I have something in the hands of a Konoha Ninja. As long as Senior Isshiki helps me retrieve it, I’ll tell you about a vessel that will definitely be suitable,” Ōtsutsuki Urashiki said.

    His reasoning was this: since Boruto possessed a remarkable Ōtsutsuki bloodline and could serve as an excellent vessel, then Boruto’s father, Naruto, who was powerful, should also be able to withstand Ōtsutsuki Chakra and serve as a vessel for Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

    “You’ll tell me?” Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked as if he was laughing out of anger.

    Could Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, who had arrived in the Ninja World at an unknown time, understand the Ninja World better than him?

    “Senior Isshiki, if you don’t believe me, I can tell you the name of the vessel first. If he can’t withstand your Chakra, then you don’t have to help me,” Ōtsutsuki Urashiki continued.

    “The vessel’s name is Naruto, and he is currently in Konoha.”

    Ōtsutsuki Urashiki knew that it would be difficult to get Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to help him unless he was willing to reveal the existence of the “plow.”

    But in that case, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki might compete with him for the “plow.”

    It was better to directly reveal Naruto’s potential, which would surely prompt Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to take action against Naruto, leading to chaos in Konoha.

    At that time, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could seize the opportunity to reclaim the “plow.”

    In Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s view, the only people in Konoha who could pose a threat to him were Sasuke and that yellow-haired Ninja.

    As long as this chaos drew one of them away, it would be easy for Ōtsutsuki Urashiki to retrieve the “plow.”

    “Naruto…” Ōtsutsuki Isshiki remained expressionless, but he firmly committed the name to memory.

    “Do you know Ōtsutsuki Urashiki?” After returning to his residence, Muzuki released Ōtsutsuki Kaguya from the Daikokuten dimension and asked.

    “How do you know that name?” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya asked in confusion.

    “I’m asking you, understand?” Muzuki showed an unfriendly expression.

    He realized that he couldn’t be too kind to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, or she would take advantage of him.

    “Yes,” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya nodded honestly.

    “What kind of person is he? What abilities does he possess?” Muzuki continued to ask.

    “I’m not familiar with him. I heard he’s quite easy to talk to. As for his abilities, I only remember that he can regress time by five seconds, but he cannot regress his own time,” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya said honestly after a moment of recollection.

    Muzuki showed a thoughtful expression.

    Minato Namikaze once said that Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s evasion ability was incredibly exaggerated; almost no attack could hit him.

    Muzuki estimated that this exaggerated evasion ability was the result of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki using Time Regression.

    “Can the Karma seal be removed?” Seeing that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya didn’t understand Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, Muzuki asked another question.

    “When the person who inscribed the Karma seal reincarnates, the Karma seal will disappear,” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya replied.

    “I mean, directly removing the Karma seal,” Muzuki asked again.

    Reincarnation meant Boruto would be gone, so the presence or absence of the Karma seal would be meaningless.

    “I don’t know about that. Perhaps the higher-ups have such an ability,” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya shook her head.

    In her opinion, eliminating the Karma seal was simply a fantasy; this was the core divine art that allowed the Ōtsutsuki Clan to traverse the universe.

    She just didn’t say it as harshly because she was afraid of being beaten.

    “What is the strongest ability of your Ōtsutsuki Clan?” Muzuki thought for a moment and asked.

    “Omnipotence,” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya replied without hesitation.

    “This is the divine art among divine arts. It can materialize everything one imagines. With control over this power, even creating a world is effortless.”

    “Omnipotence…” Looking at Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who was full of longing, Muzuki fell into thought.

    He was wondering about something: was that so-called divine art among divine arts—Omnipotence—truly omnipotent?

    From Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s words, Muzuki understood that the Ōtsutsuki Clan planted the God Tree to become an Ōtsutsuki God that transcended everything.

    So, possessing Omnipotence would allow one to directly become an Ōtsutsuki God?

    If this ability could only be mastered by becoming an Ōtsutsuki God, then could the wielder use this ability to make others Ōtsutsuki Gods?

    Muzuki believed that it should not be possible, or there were significant limitations; otherwise, the Ōtsutsuki Clan should all be Ōtsutsuki Gods by now.

    In Muzuki’s understanding, all Jutsu had limits, whether it was ordinary Ninjutsu, Mangekyo Sharingan Eye Technique, or Rinnegan Eye Technique.

    The Preta Path could absorb Ninjutsu and Sage Art, but it would be powerless against Six Paths Sage Art and certainly couldn’t absorb Bloodline Limit techniques like All-Killing Ash Bones.

    Amenotejikara could forcibly swap positions, but its effective range was not wide.

    The Omnipotence ability might be powerful, but it probably couldn’t materialize everything as Ōtsutsuki Kaguya claimed.

    “I’ve given you so much information; you should at least give me one-third of the promise value, right?” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya stared into Muzuki’s eyes.

    “Aside from Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s ability, none of this information is useful. Giving you one-thirtieth of the promise value is more appropriate,” Muzuki retorted unceremoniously.

    Ōtsutsuki Kaguya seemed to have said a lot, but there was truly nothing that could be effectively used.

    Even Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s ability was the same.

    When fighting Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, if Ōtsutsuki Urashiki used the ability to regress the world, Celebi would definitely detect it, so there would be no need for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s information.

    “One-thirtieth? Even if it’s not very useful, it should at least be one-fifth,” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was very unconvinced. If she only got one-thirtieth, it would take her forever to accumulate enough promises to get Muzuki to do something for her.

    “At most, one-twentieth.”

    “At least, one-sixth.”

    Finally, under Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s relentless argument, Muzuki reluctantly awarded her one-tenth of the promise value.

    This meant that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya only needed to gather another ninety percent of the promise value to synthesize the crucial item—Muzuki’s promise.

    “When it reaches ninety percent, convert it into promise points. Gathering one hundred promise points will grant ten percent of the promise value,” Muzuki thought as he looked at the content Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

    Although Ōtsutsuki Kaguya said that even if she absorbed another version of herself, her strength wouldn’t surpass her Ten-Tails full power, but even Obito now knew not to trust the enemy’s words, so Muzuki certainly wouldn’t believe Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s nonsense.

    If Ōtsutsuki Kaguya absorbed another version of herself and evolved into a super-powerful Two-Star Kaguya, then even if the Six Paths Sage rose from the dead, he might not be able to save the Ninja World.

    “Stay here obediently. From now on, I will add promise value based on your performance, or I will lock you back into the other dimension,” Muzuki said as he led Ōtsutsuki Kaguya to another bedroom on the second floor.

    In fact, he still had some thoughts of cooperating with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, because Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s strength was truly formidable.

    If Ōtsutsuki Kaguya could become an ally, then Muzuki would have a powerful ally.

    Upon hearing about the promise value, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya immediately became obedient.

    “Muzuki, just you wait. When I evolve again, I will definitely turn you to ash with All-Killing Ash Bones,” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya thought fiercely.

    She believed that she could definitely overcome this difficulty, just like before.

    In the past, she successfully backstabbed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki through endurance, and this time, she would definitely succeed in backstabbing Muzuki.

    Then, Muzuki deliberately went out but kept his perception focused on the house. Even though Ōtsutsuki Kaguya showed no unusual movements, he did not withdraw it.

    Until Muzuki returned and went to sleep that night, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya still made no attempt to escape, not even leaving the bedroom.

    “Hagoromo’s Chakra.” Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, lying in bed, suddenly sensed something and looked towards Muzuki’s room next door.

    At this moment, Muzuki, in his sleep, also sensed a power attempting to enter his body. Since he had already met the Six Paths Sage and knew that this was the Six Paths Sage’s Chakra, he did not resist.

    “Muzuki, where did you bring another Mother from?” The Six Paths Sage suddenly appeared in Muzuki’s dream, sitting cross-legged in front of Muzuki and asking seriously.

    He had been extremely anxious today.

    Suddenly sensing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s Chakra manifesting in the world, this made the Six Paths Sage question reality. The Tailed Beasts hadn’t even been combined into the Ten-Tails, so how did Ōtsutsuki Kaguya revive?

    After a careful examination, the Six Paths Sage was surprised to discover that there were currently two Ōtsutsuki Kaguya simultaneously.

    While Ōtsutsuki Kaguya existed, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s body, the Gedo Statue, also existed in the Ninja World.

    After a thorough analysis, the Six Paths Sage finally determined that Muzuki must have done something.

    Because Ōtsutsuki Kaguya appeared at Muzuki’s house, and only Muzuki had the strength to do such a thing.

    The Six Paths Sage was very familiar with Muzuki. As early as when Muzuki established the Shinobi Sect in the Land of Rain, the Six Paths Sage began observing Muzuki.

    He wanted to see how far this young man, who dared to rebuild the Shinobi Sect, could go.

    The result greatly surprised the Six Paths Sage. Muzuki, without excessively using his power, gradually brought peace to the Land of Rain and to the world.

    In the Six Paths Sage’s heart, Muzuki had already surpassed him, creating a better Shinobi Sect and forging a more stable peace.

    Therefore, when Muzuki and Uchiha Madara fought fiercely, the Six Paths Sage even considered whether to give Muzuki some assistance.

    But his Chakra was extremely precious and had to be saved for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya’s revival. Moreover, the Six Paths Sage didn’t really want to interfere with the living world as a dead person.

    Fortunately, Muzuki was also very capable and quickly counter-killed Uchiha Madara, not letting the Six Paths Sage be conflicted for too long.

    “Parallel worlds, you should know this concept, right?” Muzuki replied.

    Although the Six Paths Sage was dead, he wasn’t completely gone. Muzuki believed that he should know about Uzumaki Naruto’s time travel.

    The Six Paths Sage nodded and asked, “Did people from that side ask you to do this?”

    The Six Paths Sage guessed that it was very likely that “he” from the parallel world had some problems, leading to insufficient power to seal Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

    “No, I wanted to bring her here,” Muzuki answered frankly.

    Six Paths Sage: “…”

    “Muzuki, Mother is not like us. She is very dangerous!” the Six Paths Sage said seriously.

    He had also tried to use love to appease Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, but it was useless. Instead, it made Ōtsutsuki Kaguya want to absorb his and his brother’s Chakra.

    “I know that, which is why I extracted the Tailed Beasts from her and left a sufficiently stable Sealing Technique,” Muzuki acknowledged.

    “Then why not just directly…”

    “Because there’s an even more dangerous existence—the Ōtsutsuki Clan.”

    “Isn’t that something you fabricated, Muzuki?” the Six Paths Sage asked in confusion.

    He had always thought it was Muzuki’s benevolent lie for peace, just like absorbing Six Paths Chakra.

    As for Kaguya’s name, the Six Paths Sage believed that Muzuki might have obtained this knowledge through some ancient, dilapidated texts.

    And as for the latest Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, the Six Paths Sage was not yet aware of his existence.

    Because the Six Paths Sage didn’t constantly monitor the Ninja World, nor could he see all places in the Ninja World.

    “Of course not,” Muzuki immediately knew that this old man had been secretly observing him a lot, but this was within Muzuki’s expectations.

    “At first, it was indeed just some of my conjectures, but now it has been confirmed by Kaguya herself, and there is currently an Ōtsutsuki other than Kaguya in the Ninja World,” Muzuki explained.

    The Six Paths Sage’s expression became solemn.

    “This Ōtsutsuki’s strength is not as great as Kaguya’s, and he is within my handling range. It’s just that I don’t know where he is right now.”

    After speaking, Muzuki looked at the Six Paths Sage with a calm expression.

    “I’m afraid I can’t help you with that. Only if I know his Chakra can I determine his location,” the Six Paths Sage said.

    This was an expected answer for Muzuki; if he knew, he could also find him.

    Using Yomotsu Hirasaka’s ultra-wide-range movement, combined with Muzuki’s super strong perception, it would be very easy to conduct a search within the Ninja World.

    The problem was that Muzuki had never seen Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s Chakra.

    Moreover, there was a problem with using Chakra to find someone: if the opponent mastered means of concealing or interfering with Chakra, then it would be useless.

    The Six Paths Sage pondered for a moment, then looked into Muzuki’s eyes and met his gaze for a period of time. Finally, he floated to Muzuki’s side and placed his hand on Muzuki’s shoulder.

    “This is the only help I can give you.”

    Immediately after, Muzuki suddenly felt an exceptionally powerful Chakra surge into his body. He looked at the Six Paths Sage with some surprise.

    “Now, absorbing Six Paths Chakra isn’t a fabrication anymore,” the Six Paths Sage said with a faint smile.

    “Thank you,” Muzuki thanked him sincerely.

    In the Six Paths Sage’s current state, Chakra was his life force, and this was equivalent to giving his lifespan to Muzuki.

    “No need for that. If you truly want to thank me, then please let the peace of this world last a little longer.”

    With that, the Chakra transmission ended. Muzuki opened his eyes and sat up, carefully sensing the terrifying power that had appeared within his body.

    Meanwhile, in the Pure Land, the Six Paths Sage’s body had become much more ethereal.

    “I hope this choice was the right one,” the Six Paths Sage murmured with his eyes closed.

    Even if Ōtsutsuki Kaguya were to revive now, he would no longer be able to provide his descendants with enough power to seal her.
