Otsutsuki Genshiki

The Otsutsuki elder called Otsutsuki Cangshiki, who had just summoned the other four, fell silent for a moment before replying,

"No. Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Kinshiki, whom we sent to investigate this matter, are all dead."

His words plunged the secret chamber into silence.

The Otsutsuki elder with the Black Eye stared coldly ahead and slowly spoke,

"What exactly happened? Who killed Momoshiki and the other two?"

Cangshiki shook his head and said gravely,

"No race in this universe could possibly threaten our Otsutsuki Clan. For now, I can only assume Otsutsuki Kaguya did it. She must have had something to do with Isshiki's death as well."

"What did you say?! Otsutsuki Kaguya? A lowly guardian killed Momoshiki and the others?"

One of the elders with the Byakugan stared at Cangshiki in disbelief. Notably, she was the only woman among the five Otsutsuki elders.

Beside her, another Otsutsuki elder with the Byakugan furrowed his brow and said,

"Tsukishiki, Kaguya came from your family. Do you think she could have done something like this?"

"Impossible! Otsutsuki Kaguya had exceptionally poor aptitude. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sent her off to serve as Isshiki's guardian so early."

At that, Otsutsuki Tsukishiki turned toward the stern-faced elder with the Black Eye and said,

"Sorashiki, you know how strong Otsutsuki Kaguya was..."

"Enough!"

Before Otsutsuki Tsukishiki could finish, Otsutsuki Kong cut her off harshly. Tsukishiki's expression changed, but the other Byakugan elder floating beside her lightly touched her sleeve. She immediately suppressed her displeasure and looked down with an expressionless face.

A black aura spread from Otsutsuki Kong, and brilliant golden light flared in his Black Eyes. He stared at Otsutsuki Cangshiki and said coldly,

"Cangshiki, you were in charge of this matter. We have now lost three clansmen at once, including two of our elites.
