The Otsutsuki Clan's Classification of Strength
"Ah--"
Hinata yawned listlessly, sat on the bed with a reluctant expression, wrapped in a small blanket, and sleepily looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki across from her.
"Evil spirit!"
"You bad guy!"
Such a disturbing jerk deserves to be sealed away!
Why didn't you kill her back then?
Kaguya Otsutsuki remained expressionless, while Black Zetsu huddled trembling inside her sleeve.
Having known Hinata for over three years, Black Zetsu knows Hinata temperament best. If he were to provoke Hinata now, he would definitely be killed to silence her.
"Well!"
With a sigh, Hinata said weakly, "As you can see, I'm very busy right now."
"Although we agreed to explore the universe together, a few more days won't matter."
"You agree, don't you!"
Kaguya was well aware of the current situation. After all, she had once ruled the world and was known as a 'Goddess'.
Although the methods of ruling the world differ, there is just as much to do.
Looking at the young face in front of her, Kaguya felt a strange, indescribable feeling rise within her.
It really felt like one's own descendants had inherited one's past career, and suddenly a sense of intimacy arose.
Speaking of which, Hinata and Kaguya really do look a bit alike.
Their hairstyles and face shapes are similar, but their hair colors are very different. Hinata's hair is black and blue, while Kaguya's is long blue and white.
Both have the same Byakugan, and both have Tomoe Rinnegan on their foreheads, the only difference being that one has six Tomoe and the other Tomoe.
Oh! Right! The biggest difference between the two is that Kaguya doesn't have eyebrows, and she also has horns on her head.
Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded silently.
Over the past month, Kaguya Otsutsuki has been observing the changes in the world with rare composure.
For an immortal being, the longer they live, the stronger they become, and the less they care about ordinary people whose lifespan is only a mere hundred years.
The idea that God pities humanity is nothing more than a fantasy of ordinary people!
God is a higher being, and how could a higher being care about the thoughts of a lower being?
There is a little bit.
Humans, whose lifespan is only a hundred years, often live a more fulfilling life than gods, whose lifespan is much longer.
In the course of a month, Kaguya visited many places and met many people.
Both sons died.
Even if their souls still exist and they possess the power to return to the mortal world, once they are dead, they are dead.
Moreover, Kaguya doesn't want to revive them!
Kaguya's former nemesis is still around, but she has searched the Isshiki Shinobi World and still cannot find Kaguya's whereabouts.
After all the calculations, the only person in the entire universe that Kaguya could feel somewhat reliable was Hinata.
As for Sasuke ...
Kaguya:??? Who is that?
Seeing Kaguya nod, Hinata quickly said, "Since you agree, why don't you stay at my house from now on!"
"Or perhaps we could go check out the Shikkotsu Forest?"
Suddenly remembering the matter of the Three Great Sage Regions, Hinata continued, "I made a deal with the Katsuyu of Shikkotsu Forest. It will give up a piece of land for you to plant the God Tree."
"Although the God Tree can no longer bear fruit or continue to grow, God Tree instincts remain and can be used to cultivate some power!"
Hinata added at the end, "My God Tree is planted in Ryūchi Cave!"
After looking at Hinata for a while, Kaguya finally spoke, "It's been too long!"
Hinata: "???"
Oh! So it turns out that the God Tree had been used to cultivate its power for too long.
Hinata understood.
It takes a thousand years to cultivate a single God Tree Fruit. The Tenseigan in the Tenseigan Chamber on the Moon has been cultivated for either five hundred or a thousand years.
Using the God Tree to cultivate power will not show any results in a short period of time.
A thousand years ago, Kaguya wouldn't have minded using the God Tree to cultivate some kind of power for her own use.
But now the Otsutsuki clan has found the Ninja World.
No wonder Kaguya had to reclaim all her Chakra as soon as she was resurrected in the Original Story Kaguya; she sensed a crisis.
"We need to take a longer-term view!"
Hinata said earnestly, "Although the Otsutsuki clan is a huge crisis, we cannot give up on growing stronger because of it!"
"Just like your Byakugan, it might even evolve into the Tenseigan!"
Look at me!
Hinata pointed to herself, "Controlling the power of reincarnation, sounds so cool!"
Kaguya remained expressionless.
The Otsutsuki clan has already noticed this place. If they can't overcome this hurdle, even the greatest potential for growth will remain nothing but a Suigetsu.
What Kaguya needs now is rapid growth in a short period of time.
They don't aspire to evolve into higher-level life forms, but at least they must master higher-level energy.
"If we use Yomotsu Hirasaka, even traveling between two star systems would only take a moment."
Kaguya said, "However, the Otsutsuki clan has never planted God Tree near the Shinobi World!"
Hinata asked curiously, "Is the Shinobi World a very remote region in the universe?"
Kaguya nodded. "I guess so!"
No wonder Kaguya dared to betray the Otsutsuki clan back then; it turns out the emperor was far away and the mountains were high!
Perhaps Kaguya was exiled back then!
Hinata remembered looking up information about Kaguya Otsutsuki on an encyclopedia page in her previous life, and that she was supposedly a princess.
I don't remember the specifics very well anymore.
Kaguya continued, "In my memory, the area where the Otsutsuki clan planted the God Tree is the closest planet to the Ninja World, and it takes about half a year to travel there and back."
Half a year...
Hinata frowned in thought.
Hinata didn't know how far Kaguya's Yomotsu Hirasaka could travel in one go, but the six months that had passed made Hinata think of something else.
Why did Hinata from Future Sasuke timeline return to the Ninja World?
If we can't find the God Tree, that's fine!
But if the God Tree can be found, why would one need to absorb Momoshiki's fruit and covet the Ten-Tails of the Isshiki?
And he came back alone...
Did it get beaten up in space?
There are too many mysteries.
Hinata didn't care much at first, but now that Hinata's stronger and knows more secrets, the mystery in her heart is growing bigger and bigger.
Three months!
Hinata held up three fingers. "Give me three months to make arrangements. After three months, we'll enter space together!"
Kaguya nodded.
She also needs some time to learn ninja techniques.
Hinata continued, "But before that, Ancestor, could you tell me about the Otsutsuki clan's division of power?"
The Shinobi World is divided into Genin, Chunin, Jonin. In fact, it's more accurate to call it a class ranking rather than a strength ranking.
Back when Konoha was still around, Hinata was Jonin, as Jonin Tsunade and Jiraiya, and even Hashirama Senju was just Jonin, only they held different positions.
Kaguya said calmly, "This clan doesn't have a clear division of strength; the only difference is the level of their Sage Body and their Dōjutsu."
