In a remote town in the Land of Fire, in the Shinobi World.
"Steamed buns! Freshly baked meat buns!"
"I want to eat."
"Hey, miss, hold on tight, it's hot... Oh, miss, you haven't paid yet."
Amidst the shouts of street vendors, Kaguya turned around, full of confusion, not understanding what money was in the eyes of humans.
In the Ōtsutsuki social system, the concept of "purchasing" never existed.
If you want something, your subordinate races will deliver it to you; if not, just take whatever you want.
Upon arriving on Earth, she was revered as the Progenitor of Chakra, using her unparalleled power to unify the Shinobi World, earning her the title of Rabbit Goddess.
Where is money needed?
Kaguya isn't stupid; in fact, she could be described as quite cunning. The "naive and innocent" label she's often associated with comes more from her battles.
A powerful expert at the Divine Fire Level was sealed away by his two sons for thousands of years. He finally managed to escape, only to be defeated by such a bizarre method as the "Reverse Harem Technique".
She truly deserves the title of "naive and innocent."
It can only be said that she was born a princess; even if her faction lost the war, she wouldn't have to personally go into battle.
The Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is largely due to luck.
He was probably quite bewildered at Isshiki, never expecting a little white rabbit to suddenly turn around and grab him.
Therefore, when she picked up the meat bun and turned to leave, the stall owner stopped her.
A thousand years ago, Kaguya wouldn't have needed to lift a finger; a single Byakugan would have been enough to kill the vendor.
But the situation is different now. Her Family's pursuers have arrived on Earth, and without the Ten-Tails by her side, she is somewhat panicked.
During the battle on the moon, Hamura took the initiative to break his mother's seal in a moment of crisis.
Ultimately, he still couldn't bring himself to kill his mother, nor could he stand by and watch her be persecuted by the enemy.
Living alone on the moon and sealing himself off is less about guarding and more about Hamura atoning for his sins.
Having broken the seal on Chibaku Tensei, Kaguya regained her freedom, and the first thing she did was to open Yomotsu Hirasaka, returning to Earth with her Filial Son.
After abandoning the severely injured Hamura at the Ninja Sect Clan, Kaguya quickly left alone, intending to find a place to wait for that person's arrival.
I intended to keep a low profile, but I never expected that a casual stroll outside would almost cause a sensation in the small town.
"Look at that person, their skin is so fair!"
"Mom, the older sister is so pretty!"
"She's so tall!"
"Just because someone is tall and pretty doesn't mean they can eat steamed buns without paying."
"That's true."
At this Kaguya, Kaguya's mind was filled with doubts and questions.
Seeing that she seemed genuinely confused, the vendor sighed, pointed to the coins in the money box, and said, "Look, that's what you need to buy food."
"Oh, I see." Kaguya nodded, activated Yomotsu Hirasaka, and with a flick of her wrist, several coins appeared. "Is this enough?"
"Uh, we don't need that much."
"Then give me a few more of those."
"All right."
After receiving the money that was rightfully his, the vendor put all the remaining meat buns into his bag.
Thank you, you're a good person.
"Hey, hehehe, you're pretty too, girl."
Being praised by such a beautiful woman for the first time in his life, the vendor was quite flattered.
As for the fact that his wife discovered a lot of money was missing after they got home, that's another story.
Within the Land of Grass, the Ōtsutsuki duo, who had been pursuing them, were also quietly eating.
The only difference is that Little Momo had no intention of giving any money at all.
Seeing that the boss was still pressing him, he put down his chopsticks and coldly questioned, "Money? Is that more important than your life?"
"Nonsense." The boss rolled his eyes dismissively. "What's the point of living if you don't have money?"
"I understand." Momoshiki nodded, raising her palm as if she had grasped the meaning.
The next second, he overturned the entire restaurant.
"You've lost your life, so I don't have to pay you, right?"
Beside him, Kinshiki stiffly put down his cutlery, thinking to himself, "You've finished eating, and I haven't even started yet."
However, this was not the first time such a situation had occurred. Ever since following Lord Momoshiki, he had long been accustomed to a life of going hungry for three days and six meals a day.
If an adult flips the table, there must be a reason why. All you need to do is accept it with a smile... Kinshiki is definitely a model of loyalty.
Of course, being hungry is unpleasant, and while he could accept it, getting him to laugh was a bit of a stretch.
I can manage not to cry.
In fact, Momoshiki didn't have such a bad temper; the reason was that he lost Kaguya while chasing after her.
Unexpectedly, that seemingly ordinary woman's spatial abilities are actually more terrifying than the two of them.
As they chased after it, Momoshiki got completely confused and had no choice but to land anywhere at random.
To say it was casual wouldn't be quite right. Besides enjoying Planet local delicacies, he also wanted to take the opportunity to reclaim the scattered Chakra of the Ten-Tails.
I learned from reading books that many years ago, nine Tailed Beast appeared in the world, causing chaos.
Despite the unclear reasons, it didn't prevent him from guessing what had happened.
Momoshiki's excellent perception allowed him to easily pinpoint the strongest Tailed Beast.
Without needing the Ten-Tails, he could absorb all the Chakra of the Tailed Beast directly with his own abilities.
Once we find Kaguya, we can force her to hand over the God Tree, and then we can complete the planting.
With a disdainful glance at the chaotic town, Momoshiki slowly ascended into the air, its gaze fixed on an inconspicuous corner of the Land of Grass.
"The Nine-Tails is hiding there; let's go pay it a visit now."
"Yes, Momoshiki."
With that, the two headed straight for the Nine-Tails' hiding place, one after the other.
Inside the underground cave, Madara Uchiha, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes, his purple Tomoe Rinnegan gleaming in the darkness.
"Madara-sama."
"Ah, I know."
At this moment, Ban's condition was getting worse and worse.
His long-term life as a recluse has caused his physical functions to deteriorate severely. At nearly fifty years old, he looks almost like a man in his seventies.
The only thing that remained unchanged was the domineering air of contempt for all living beings in his eyes.
Glug glug!
The conduit connecting to the Ten-Tails began to writhe rapidly, and under Tobi's silent gaze, Madara's condition began to change towards a younger appearance.
"... Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?" Tobi wasn't even in the mood for jokes at the moment.
It was perfectly clear that Ban's body was already failing.
Doing this might temporarily restore his strength, but once the battle is over, only death awaits him.
"Tobi." When it raised its head again, the once proud battlefield rose that dominated the Shinobi World descended once more. "You should know that sitting idly and waiting to die is a disgrace to me."
"That guy's return means I don't need to keep my promise anymore."
The meaning of these words is easy to understand: Madara did not want to die of illness in his bed like Hashirama; dying on the battlefield would be the best funeral for him.
Next up was Madara Uchiha's final dance.
"This dance must be performed beautifully."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Amidst bursts of wild laughter, the blue giant soared into the sky, the thick earth unable to stop it in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, the Perfect Susanoo earth, its height alone reaching nearly three hundred meters.
This was a true behemoth; even the Momoshiki duo, who were charging ahead in the distance, couldn't help but slow their pace slightly.
"It seems the Nine-Tails isn't too welcoming of our arrival."
"Lord Momoshiki, I'll go and take the villain's head for you."
The enemy's arrogance is a sign of their contempt for Lord Momoshiki.
As the Number One loyal dog in the world, Kinshiki would never allow such a thing to happen.
Chakra and shot into the sky like a rocket, fiercely striking the hundred-meter-long sword of Susanoo.
Bang!
The two completely disproportionate objects collided, causing an air tremor that stretched for miles around.
Faced with the unparalleled sword strike of the Perfect Susanoo, Kinshiki managed to withstand it head-on.
"A foolish move." Kinshiki even took the time to comment on Susanoo: "Such a large size is nothing more than blindly increasing the area to be hit."
"Even if your eye power is extremely strong, it's impossible to defend every corner perfectly."
"With just one strike, I can shatter this flashy but impractical thing."
With that, the longsword transformed into a battering ram, and Kinshiki intended to prove his words with concrete actions.
"Idiot, watch your surroundings!" Momoshiki's shout suddenly came from behind.
Before Kinshiki react, he suffered a terrible blow to the neck.
"How is this possible?!" He pressed the back of his head against his back, yet the enemy showed no signs of dying.
Seeing this, Madara Uchiha couldn't help but sigh, "The Ōtsutsuki really has thick skin and tough flesh."
Even the nine Tailed Beasts, after taking a full-force Limbo Clones, couldn't get up from the ground for several minutes.
But this guy, before he even landed, started worrying about his master's safety.
To be honest, White Zetsu should really learn from them and stop undermining himself all the time.
"Is that so? "Momoshiki's gaze was somewhat gloomy.
Kinshiki was not a master of Dojutsu and could not see those beings who seemed to roam the shadow realm.
But he was different; those eight illusory shadows were crystal clear to him.
"Interesting. So this is the power of your Rinnegan?" Momoshiki didn't rush to attack.
Their long lifespans have made each Ōtsutsuki appear polite and courteous, at least at first glance, they are indeed exceptionally gentlemanly.
It's a pity. Madara witnessed Isshiki's wretched state firsthand and knew that when facing death, these guys were no different from humans.
Ignoring his question, Madara Uchiha crossed his arms and coldly stared at the insignificant ant. "Why ask questions of a dying man?"
These words immediately left Little Momo Tao speechless. "Heh, heh heh heh, I never thought there was anyone on Earth more arrogant than me."
Too lazy to waste any more words with him, Madara Uchiha, and the Limbo Clones suddenly changed.
Under Momoshiki's somber gaze, eight identical, fully-formed Perfect Susanoo appeared around him.
Most importantly, their power is in no way weaker than that of the main body.
"Be Keiki, you're the first person to see it."
