Konoha, Yayoi's underground Laboratory.
Staring at the stone before him, Kyosuke remained silent, his brow furrowed.
The research wasn't flawed; in fact, her experiment was very successful.
We are already able to detect signals from outer space through Overfrequency Receiver.
Following the source of the signal, Kyosuke could easily find Planet that might harbor extraterrestrial life.
What truly left him speechless was that the once clean and tidy Laboratory was now crawling with plump, white Katsuyu Clone.
I told you to copy it and keep it for future experiments, but I didn't tell you to spread it everywhere.
My granddaughter loves her Katsuyu companion and takes it everywhere she goes, but Kyosuke doesn't really like sticky creatures.
"Its structure is truly amazing." Ignoring her boss's complaints, Yayoi calmly explained, "No matter how far apart they are, even from the moon to the earth, the two individuals can interact with each other."
"So what?"
"Two uses." Yayoi casually picked one up and handed it to Kyosuke, saying, "First, it can help you find your way home."
"In this vast sea of stars, if you lose your way, you'll essentially have to say goodbye to the Shinobi World forever."
Upon hearing this, Kyosuke's eyes lit up instantly. He hurriedly took the Katsuyu Clone from his hands, smiling as he patted its head, "Look at this little thing, it's quite unique in appearance."
"I love sticky things the most."
She rolled her eyes silently. Even though she was used to men's shamelessness, she could still be speechless at times.
After Kyosuke had fully expressed his affection, Yayoi continued, "The second, and most important, point."
"As I just said, it can make connections over extremely long distances. In your words, you could stand on the moon and help me on Earth heal."
"So, looking at it from another angle, could it become your locator, helping you achieve interstellar-level space travel?"
The Ōtsutsuki travels between different star systems mainly relying on the spatial abilities attached to the Karma.
Apart from a few powerful individuals who have awakened spatial abilities, most people need a long time to reach their destination.
The reason is simple: spatial travel has a maximum distance limit, and to move forward, the Portal must be opened again when the limit is reached.
This cycle repeats itself endlessly, which is how seemingly impossible interstellar journeys are accomplished.
Katsuyu can correlate the abilities of different individuals, meaning they can serve as Space Coordinates regardless of distance.
Kyosuke's ability itself remains unchanged, but he can rely on it to save a lot of travel time.
After all, interstellar travel involves time measured in years.
He certainly didn't want to go on a long trip and come back to find the Shinobi World had entered the Quantum Age.
"This, this little thing is that powerful?!" Kyosuke exclaimed in shock.
It was just a casually picked-up loot, but I never expected it to give me such a pleasant surprise so quickly.
With it, I can travel with peace of mind.
The first time might be a little difficult, but as he goes out more often and fills the Milky Way with Katsuyu clones, going anywhere will be a matter of a thought.
These little things came from the Laboratory, so she would naturally sever the connection with the Great Slug Sage. With Yayoi's intelligence, she would not allow any potential threat to emerge.
In short, use it with confidence and boldness.
After experiencing a brief period of growing pains, he will be able to enjoy the freedom of riding freely in the future.
If we really can't defeat the enemy, we can simply lead the people we care about and run away.
If I can't beat you, I can at least outrun you.
It just goes to show that technology is always the primary productive force. All those Points spent nurturing Yayoi back then have now proven to be worthwhile.
"Since you've done so well, I have a gift for you."
Under Yayoi's questioning gaze, Kyosuke smiled and arrived at the pre-prepared Underground Base.
He lightly slapped the ground with one hand and coldly shouted, "Come out, Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"
With a loud bang, the Ten-Tails' hull, summoned by Madara Uchiha, appeared before the two.
"It's temporarily lent to you for research. After all, it belongs to Kaguya, and we shouldn't keep it all to ourselves."
"Develop cloning technology for the God Tree as soon as possible. Although it looks enormous, its structure is far less complex than that of the human body. The key lies in the resources consumed in its production and cultivation."
"The Ten-Tails." Yayoi's eyes were filled with eagerness.
Over the years, her strength has never improved enough to reach a level comparable to Kyosuke and Madara Uchiha.
The key problem is that her strength isn't above the standard.
For ordinary people, the Tenseigan is an unimaginable superpower, but in the eyes of Kyosuke and others, it's really nothing special.
To achieve further improvement, one must rely on external forces, and the Ten-Tails is arguably the strongest such power-up.
While increased power is one aspect, the most crucial aspect is that it can help humanity achieve true immortality.
The world of science is endless, and a mere hundred years is nothing. Yayoi is now not only training apprentices, but has also begun to study the field of immortality.
It's conceivable that for a long time to come, she will focus her research on replicating the Ten-Tails.
"The key issue in creating similar organisms is resource consumption."
"Konoha alone is too much for them; we may need to ask a few of the Hidden Village for help."
Thinking of this, a slow smile appeared on Yayoi's face. She wondered who was going to be unlucky.
In the vast sea of stars, in a certain region of the cosmos, known as Life-Forbidden Zone.
No one would have guessed that a massive star, comparable in size to Betelgeuse, actually exists here.
How big exactly is it?
In terms of total volume, it is only about nine hundred times the size of the sun.
The sun is about 1.3 million times the size of the earth.
The difference isn't that much.
In the vast universe, there exist many terrifying events that could lead to the extinction of civilizations.
Among them, the "Life-Forbidden Zone" is the most terrifying, which is why no one knows that Ōtsutsuki is actually hiding in one of these forbidden zones.
The long lifespan of the Ōtsutsuki made their sense of time very vague.
Ordinary people count the days on their fingers; in their view, a hundred years is the most basic unit of time.
Kaguya was sealed away, Isshiki disappeared without a trace. It took thousands of years before people were finally sent to check on him.
In order to record the condition of the clan members, each Ōtsutsuki had a "Life Tablet" recorded from birth.
The fact that the Life Tablet is still intact indicates that the Family members are safe; otherwise, members of the Enforcement Squad would need to be dispatched to investigate.
Not to mention, this time three Life Tablet were destroyed.
The life tablets of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki shattered one after another in a very short period of time.
This means that there must have been a major problem with the trip to Earth.
"All three died simultaneously, Kaguya and Momoshiki survived."
"I'm very curious, what exactly is happening on Earth?"
A great will has issued an order to thoroughly investigate what is happening on Earth.
There are usually only two possibilities for this outcome.
First, there were powerful natives who were beyond the reach of Ordinary Ōtsutsuki. They killed three people and captured two others, trying to extract information from them.
Second, Momoshiki and Kaguya betrayed the Supreme Council.
Regardless of the truth, we must send skilled individuals to investigate.
Therefore, the Enforcement Squad is the best choice.
Based on the basic circumstances, this mission will take at least several decades.
It wasn't particularly long, but some villages took the situation extremely seriously.
The consecutive loss of three Ōtsutsuki is something that has never happened before.
Even during the several civil wars, the number of members who died was not large.
Most of them are either sealed away or seek an opportunity for revival and rebirth within their Vessel.
Not to mention Earth, that indigenous Planet that's been rated as "sub-tertiary".
What does this tell us?
It's highly likely that it wasn't the natives who started it, but rather internal strife within the Ōtsutsuki.
Whether it was Kaguya acting on her own initiative, or the damned factional strife reigniting its flames.
In short, the Enforcement Squad must make a trip to deal with the unsettling factors.
Just to be on the safe side, let's have one of the Twelve Apostles, "Kishiki," personally lead this operation.
With his abilities, defeating that group of Earth natives would be no problem.
Ōtsutsuki Kishiki, an extremely powerful individual who ignited the Second Divine Flame, consumed more than five Chakra Fruits.
Unfortunately, the quality of the fruits varied, and they never managed to ignite the third Divine Flame, thus failing to achieve true immortality.
It's manageable against ordinary opponents, but against formidable adversaries of equal strength, even the Second Divine Flame risks destruction.
Even so, using him to deal with Earth is a bit too extravagant.
A few short thoughts instantly determined the life and death of billions of lives.
This is the Ōtsutsuki, the absolute law of the dark jungle.
"Long-distance spatial transfer."
Kaguya remained silent, lost in thought.
In fact, it would be a lie to say she wasn't envious when she learned that Kyosuke had found an alien Planet that harbored life.
The Ōtsutsuki possess the ability to discern Chakra, but the accuracy is not high enough, and most of the time it's just a false alarm.
Finding a suitable Planet and planting God Tree sounds simple; it seems like you could just casually fill a sack with the fruit.
Unfortunately, the reality is quite the opposite; finding Planet capable of supporting life is considered lucky if it happens once out of ten times.
The most frustrating problem is that, in many cases, indigenous life forms simply do not meet the minimum requirements for fruit production.
If it were that easy, then masters like Isshiki, Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki wouldn't have come to Earth one after another.
It will also prevent the emergence of special factions that cultivate indigenous people.
There's nothing you can do; repeatedly coming up empty-handed is truly disheartening and can be quite unpleasant.
Kaguya, wouldn't want to make such a long trip.
Kyosuke promised her that the moment he ignited the Divine Flame, he would help her retrieve the nine Tailed Beasts.
Otherwise, the Six Paths brothers who were secretly lurking wouldn't have just stood by and watched their mother recover to her peak condition.
What two Filial Son!
Little did they know that without Kaguya's rule, although everyone seemed to have gained freedom, their lives were not necessarily better than before.
