Moon War IV

Beneath their feet was the moon, Kaguya was sealed in the very center of the moon.

After Iwagakure publicly revealed control of a Moon-Earth Channel and announced its intention to migrate there, Black Zetsu secretly infiltrated the Moon.

Even if Yichen himself guarded the Moon-Earth Channel, given Black Zetsu's abilities, it would be impossible for him to find the person possessed by Black Zetsu from the massive immigrant group.

Therefore, Black Zetsu's infiltration was very successful.

Upon entering the moon, the excited Black Zetsu used the resonance between his body and Kaguya to contact her deep within the moon.

Black Zetsu wished for his mother to descend into his body, but Kaguya told him that she needed a body capable of withstanding the power of Sage.

Black Zetsu Kaguya was sealed away.

Black Zetsu's body cannot withstand Kaguya's power.

After expressing his longing for Kaguya, Black Zetsu returned to the Ninja World.

Black Zetsu began to do his best to help Orochimaru become Sage.

Orochimaru did not disappoint Black Zetsu; he even received help from the Sage of Six Paths.

Orochimaru's ascension to Sage was also incredibly fast, completely exceeding Black Zetsu's expectations.

The next step was to trick Orochimaru into going to the moon.

Orochimaru is not like Madara Uchiha or Obito Uchiha; he is not easily deceived.

Just as Black Zetsu was having a headache, Orochimaru unexpectedly brought up the Giant Tenseigan on the moon that resonated with him.

Black Zetsu with his Giant Tenseigan also knew this; he had secretly gone to see it when he went to the moon.

Kaguya told Black Zetsu that she originally intended to descend using the Giant Tenseigan as a medium.

The Giant Tenseigan is formed by fusing the Byakugan, and the Byakugan was provided by Kaguya's descendants, so there is no problem with the compatibility between the two.

Furthermore, the Giant Tenseigan's strength actually reached the Sage level, and it was capable of containing Kaguya's will.

However, the Giant Tenseigan has a master; the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon is its master.

Kaguya used special means to gradually influence the Otsutsuki Clan on the moon, causing their numbers to dwindle.

By the time of Otsutsuki Toneri's generation, he was the only person left on the entire moon.

Kaguya originally thought that after a few decades, when Otsutsuki Toneri died, there would be no more living people on the entire moon.

At that time, she will be able to directly control the unclaimed Giant Tenseigan and realize the descent of her will.

As a result, Yichen arrived on the moon at this time, causing the Giant Tenseigan to directly recognize Neji as its master.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's entire plan has failed.

Fortunately, Black Zetsu arrived shortly afterward.

When Orochimaru brought up the Giant Tenseigan, Black Zetsu was overjoyed and fabricated a story, tricking Orochimaru into going to the moon.

Furthermore, considering that Orochimaru at his peak was not suitable for his mother to possess, since Orochimaru did not trust Black Zetsu and Black Zetsu would have no way to launch a sneak attack.

So Black Zetsu also lured Yichen and the others to the moon.

As expected, Orochimaru was defeated in the battle.

The Black Zetsu body lurking within him activated precisely at the right moment, controlling Orochimaru while simultaneously communicating with Kaguya.

Kaguya used Black Zetsu's body as a medium to complete the possession.

The reason why Black Zetsu is inside Orochimaru is not because he was careless and was invaded by Black Zetsu. In fact, Black Zetsu is hiding inside Hyuga Hiashi's head.

After Black Zetsu Orochimaru that Orochimaru was out of control during their collaboration, he began to think of other solutions.

Having guessed that Orochimaru would use Black Zetsu within Hyuga Hiashi's body, he directly merged a portion of his own body into Hyuga Hiashi's brain.

After Orochimaru possessed Hyuga Hiashi, Black Zetsu naturally infiltrated Orochimaru's mind.

Later, during Orochimaru's ascension to Sage, the reason why his Byakugan didn't change form but instead became Byakugan with advanced dojutsu like Kaguya's was also due to Black Zetsu's secret guidance.

Ultimately, Orochimaru's body became the most suitable for Kaguya to possess.

If Orochimaru had remained on Earth, the Black Zetsu within his mind wouldn't have been enough to draw Kaguya across such a vast distance.

But it would be much easier on the moon. At such a close distance, Kaguya would only need a medium, and she could also transfer her own Chakra into Kaguya 'Orochimaru body.

Although Kaguya 'Chakra was no longer inexhaustible because the Ten-Tails had been extracted.

However, Kaguya herself also possesses a certain amount of Chakra.

With the help of this Chakra, Black Zetsu believed that Kaguya should be able to deal with the Orochimaru who had just fought Iwa ninja.

Black Zetsu speculated that by this time, the Iwa ninja might have already lost one or two Sages to Orochimaru.

The remaining one or two must also be injured or exhausted; how could they possibly be a match for Mother?

Although Yi Yichen was unaware of these clandestine schemes and plots, he knew that Yichen had likely fallen for Black Zetsu's Orochimaru.

Yichen carefully examined Kaguya in front of him.

If you disregard the red Tomoe Rinnegan, Kaguya's pure white Kaguya actually gives off a very harmless vibe.

But her menacing and terrifying Tomoe Rinnegan with.

Even though this eye is not fully open now, it is in a half-open, half-closed state.

Yichen certainly wasn't only concerned with Kaguya's appearance; his main focus was on Kaguya power.

Without a doubt, the Chakra that just surged from the ground was Kaguya's own Chakra.

In the original story, Kaguya descended from the moon into Madara Uchiha in the Ninja World, and her own Chakra was of no use.

She could only rely on the power of the God Tree, which absorbed the power of the ninja army, and she used this power to forcibly change Madara Uchiha's form.

However, in this life, Orochimaru is on the moon, Kaguya can directly transfer her Chakra to him.

Of course, the results are different. Without the power of the nine Tailed Beasts and the Chakra of the Allied Forces, Kaguya is not at her peak either.

This can be seen from the fact that the Tomoe Rinnegan is never fully opened.

Kaguya was aware that she was not in good condition. She also knew that Yichen and the others were quite powerful and had not been injured by Orochimaru.

Therefore, her first reaction after appearing in the world was not to attack Yichen and the others, but to use the Yomotsu Hirasaka to open a Space-Time Door in preparation for escape.

Kaguya had just witnessed the entire battle between Orochimaru and Yichen.

Her abilities are actually similar to Orochimaru's. Orochimaru lost in a one-on-one fight, so she thinks that Yichen and the others won't be able to deal with her in a one-on-one situation.

She knew she had no chance of winning.

Orochimaru had exhausted a large amount of Chakra, and she then infused it with her own Chakra, at which point her Chakra reserves were several times greater than Orochimaru's at his peak.

But that's all; it doesn't give her an absolute advantage.

Therefore, Kaguya's idea was to escape first, go to the Ninja World, absorb enough Chakra, and then deal with these troublesome opponents.

But Yichen wouldn't let her have her way. He immediately said, "Sokai, stop her!"

Having anticipated this, Sokai nodded, activated his Rinnegan Dojutsu, and directly closed the Space-Time Door opened by Kaguya.

Seeing that escape was hopeless, Kaguya turned her attention back to Yichen and the others.

When facing Orochimaru, Yichen had the idea of sparring with him to increase everyone's practical experience, but when facing Kaguya, Yichen had no such idea at all.

Kaguya's combat experience is probably less than that of Sokai and Izumi Uchiha. When sparring with her, it's hard to say who is training whom.

Yichen said, "Sokai, you're responsible for stopping Kaguya from escaping to other dimensions, and also for protecting Chiga."

"Shion, use the Miko Seal to intercept her from the outside and prevent her from escaping."

"Neji, Quan Luo, let's attack together. I'll draw her attention, Neji, and Quan Luo support."

"Quickly finish this! Don't give her a chance to use her special abilities!"

As soon as Yichen finished speaking, he rushed towards Kaguya. The others responded and immediately began their operation as well.

As Yichen charged toward Kaguya, he formed hand Hand Seals and unleashed a ninjutsu.

This is a ninjutsu performed by Yichen using Chakra Five Elements Fusion; it is a higher-level bloodline limit than Kekkei Genkai or Kekkei Tōta.

When dealing with Orochimaru, Yichen did not reveal this information!

Facing Kaguya, Yichen held nothing back, immediately unleashing Trump Card he had never used before.

However, when Yichen used this ninjutsu, he did not shout or make a fuss, nor did he deliberately show off its special features. Instead, he used the white Five-Attribute Chakra as if he were using an ordinary ninjutsu.

To make this move seem ordinary, Yichen didn't even use Senjutsu Chakra.

Kaguya thought it was just an ordinary ninjutsu, and her response was simple: she stretched out her left hand to absorb it.

However, when Yichen's attack touched Kaguya's left hand, Kaguya was surprised to find that she could not absorb it.

It was too late to change her strategy at this point, so Kaguya withdrew her hand while dodging to the side.

But in the end, Yichen's ninjutsu severed one of his arms.

Kaguya clearly lacked combat experience. If it were Orochimaru, seeing Yichen use ordinary ninjutsu so unusually, he would have been on high alert long ago.

As expected, the naive Kaguya fell victim to the trap.

Upon seeing an arm detach from Kaguya's body, Yichen did not choose to press his advantage but instead sealed the arm away.

Kaguya lost an arm right from the start, and was immediately flustered. She quickly began to unleash her ultimate move.

Kaguya's body was covered in bone spikes. These spikes separated from her body, changed direction, and shot towards Yichen, Neji, Izumi Uchiha in quick succession.

Yichen shook his head; Kaguya's combat experience was truly terrible.

Shinra Tensei!

Yichen stretched out his hand and repelled the bone spurs in less than a second.

Neji and Izumi Uchiha also possessed gravity abilities, and like Yichen, they easily deflected all the bone spikes.

Seeing this, Kaguya realized she had made a mistake; she shouldn't have fired them all at once.

She hurriedly prepared the bone spurs again, but at that moment, Yichen and the others were also ready to attack.

First, there's Neji's giant sword, which is tens of meters long. While a giant sword is unlikely to be very effective against a person, it can certainly scare Kaguya.

Kaguya was still very careful in the face of this attack, and she quickly dodged it.

Next came Yichen's ninjutsu, executed using the Five-Attribute Chakra.

In order to attract Kaguya's attention, Yichen's ninjutsu had a wide range and made a great show of force.

This time, Kaguya didn't foolishly absorb it. Truth-Seeking Orb, she created a Truth-Seeking Orb and used it as a shield to resist Yichen's attack.

Yichen naturally knew the power of the Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb Orochimaru; Neji had just used them to defeat Truth-Seeking Orb in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Yichen reminded the others, "Be careful, don't touch the Truth-Seeking Orb with your body."

As he spoke, Yichen unleashed several ninjutsu in succession. The target of these ninjutsu was not Kaguya, but the Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb.

Of all the ninjutsu that Yichen knows, only the Chakra ninjutsu and Senjutsu formed by the Five Elements Fusion can touch Truth-Seeking Orb without being destroyed.

Yichen unleashed several Five Elements Fusion, deflecting the Truth-Seeking Orb and paving the way for Neji and Izumi Uchiha's attack.

Perhaps due to limitations in Chakra reserves, Kaguya only created one Truth-Seeking Orb.

After Neji's sword missed its mark, he swung it again. Kaguya quickly dodged, but by then, Izumi Uchiha had already arrived nearby.

Izumi Uchiha Rinnegan at Kaguya, its light flashing strangely.

The next moment, Kaguya's body returned to the position she was in before she dodged, right beneath the blade of Neji's forty-meter-long cleaver.

As expected, Kaguya, caught off guard, was sliced in two with a single stroke.

However, Kaguya is practically immortal; her upper body escaped quickly.

Yichen didn't chase after her. Instead, he went to Kaguya's lower half and sealed that half of her body with Hand Seals.

After a series of defeats, Kaguya no longer dared to linger in the fight.

She quickly fled into the distance.

While fleeing, they tried to open a spatial portal, but were stopped each time by Sokai, who was watching them intently from afar.

Unable to escape across space, Kaguya could only fly far away from the battlefield, but what awaited her was the well-prepared Miko Seal.

The Miko Power is different from Chakra; Kaguya tried to absorb it, but failed.

With obstacles blocking her way ahead and pursuers at her back, Kaguya knew that if things continued like this, she would surely be sealed away.

Rather than being sealed away by unknown means, it's better to return to the original body within the moon.

Black Zetsu said he has a second plan in the Ninja World.

Kaguya then voluntarily released Orochimaru from her possession, and her will returned to her original body deep within the moon.

When Yichen and the other two rushed to Kaguya's side, she had already reverted to Orochimaru's body, which was Hyuga Hiashi's appearance.

With Kaguya's disappearance, the Truth- Truth-Seeking Orb that had been blasted Yichen also vanished.

Yichen noticed this scene, and he felt a little regretful that he had missed out on gaining one more Truth-Seeking Orb.

Yichen turned to take Orochimaru's Byakugan, but then heard him suddenly say, "Neji, I'm sorry!"

Neji was taken aback, Yichen's outstretched hand also paused.

Isn't this Orochimaru? Isn't this Hyuga Hiashi?

What about Orochimaru? Did he die when Kaguya possessed his body?

Yichen sneered inwardly. Hyuga Hiashi wasn't dead, how could Orochimaru possibly be?

Yichen stepped forward and directly removed Hyuga Hiashi's eyes.

Whether Orochimaru is dead or has escaped, those Byakugan, at the Sage level, are undeniably real.

Hyuga Hiashi no resistance, nor was he able to resist.

After Yichen removed his eyes, Hyuga Hiashi continued speaking to Neji, "Neji, although your father willingly sacrificed himself for me, I did indeed have the same thought in my heart."

"The Main Family owes the branch family a great debt. Whatever you do to me, it's what I deserve."

"But please, spare Hinata and Hanabi. They are your sisters, and they are innocent."

Neji scoffed, his emotions completely unaffected by Hyuga Hiashi's words.

After leaving Konoha, he went from being a child who wasn't even a ninja to becoming Sage, and his mind had long since matured.

His views on the division of the Main Family into Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the family who had grown up in a sheltered environment.

Hyuga Hiashi thought that admitting his mistake before his death would make Neji forgive him, but he was clearly overthinking it.

Neji acted without hesitation, swiftly bringing down his blade and ending the lifeless Hyuga Hiashi.

Neji has his own ideas about how to treat Hinata and Hanabi Hyuga, and he doesn't need Hyuga Hiashi to teach him.

Seeing Neji's decisiveness, Yichen smiled and then sealed Hyuga Hiashi's body, which had been cut in two by Neji.

While Hyuga Hiashi's body wasn't as valuable as Kaguya's, it was still a body that the Sage once possessed.

With this, the war on the moon officially ended.

Seeing this, Sokai, Shion, and Chiga, who were in the distance, all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Yichen did not immediately lead everyone back to the Ninja World. Instead, he retrieved Kaguya's left arm, which he had previously sealed away.

Yichen released the seal on Kaguya's left arm and said to Neji, Sokai, Izumi Uchiha, "Kaguya's will has returned to her original body, but the sealed part of her body remains."

"This arm contains a portion of Kaguya's will and her Chakra."

"This is Chakra at the Kekkei Mōra Kaguya, it's incredibly nourishing!"

Everyone:...

Sure enough, Teacher Yichen is still the same Teacher Yichen and greedy ways haven't changed at all.

Ignoring the stares of the crowd, Yichen said, "Neji, you connect to the Giant Tenseigan. Quan Luo and Sokai, you connect to the Giant Sharingan."

"Let's all work together and dismantle this arm."

Neji, Sokai, Izumi Uchiha all nodded.

Shion then asked, "Then what should I do?"

Yichen thought for a moment, then realized it wouldn't be appropriate to just tell her to watch over it, so he said, "Shion, set up Miko Seal around here to prevent Kaguya from escaping and controlling this Chakra."

Shion hummed in agreement, feeling excited about being assigned such a challenging task.

She just used Kaguya Miko Seal to stop Kaguya from escaping.

While Shion was preparing to Miko Seal, Yichen and his group of four made their move.

All four were at the Sage level, and with the aid of Giant Tenseigan and Giant Sharingan, Kaguya's arm, despite being at the Kekkei Mōra level, was still slowly disintegrated.

Watching Kaguya's right arm slowly melt as if heated by a high temperature.

Yichen was quite excited; it was working!

After a while, Kaguya's entire right arm was completely disintegrated, turning into a mass of black Chakra.

Yichen carefully absorbed a wisp of Chakra, attempting to comprehend its mysteries.

Seeing that Yichen had no adverse reactions, Neji, Sokai, and Izumi Uchiha and began to comprehend the same thing.

When Yichen was brainwashing Kisame, he used a term called "the essence of Chakra."

In fact, Yichen himself didn't know the essence of Chakra at the time.

Even though Yichen fused the Five-Attribute and became Sage, he still didn't understand the Chakra essence.

However, when Yichen came into contact with the black liquid Chakra in front of him, Yichen knew that this was the Chakra essence.

No wonder Kaguya is called the Chakra Progenitor; it's not just because she was the first person in the Ninja World to possess Chakra.

This is also because her Chakra is the purest Chakra.

Yichen placed the wisp of Chakra in his hand into his own body, trying to mobilize his own Chakra to make contact with it.

Then, Yichen felt his Chakra become more active and vibrant after coming into contact with the black Chakra.

However, this trace of Chakra was not enough for Yichen to cleanse his entire body of Chakra.

So Yichen began absorbing more black Chakra.

Similarly, Neji, Sokai, Izumi Uchiha were doing the same thing.

A moment later, all the black Chakra in front of them was absorbed.

When they opened their eyes, they all felt a sense of unfinished business.

Yichen smiled and then took out half of Kaguya's body.

Neji and the other two were immediately intrigued. Without Yichen's prompting, the four of them tacitly repeated the process they had just gone through.

After a long time, Kaguya's body was finally completely absorbed.

Yichen took a deep breath and said, "Ah, that feels great! This feeling is almost no different from when I became Sage."

Neji added, "Yes, if we had enough Kekkei Mōra Chakra, perhaps we could achieve Kekkei Mōra quickly too."

Yichen smiled and said, "Achieving Kekkei Mōra isn't that easy. Even if we disassembled the entire Kaguya and used all our Chakra on one person, we still couldn't make him achieve Kekkei Mōra."

"If that's how the Kekkei Mōra was achieved, there's only one possibility: Kaguya actively facilitated it."

"That person will only have one fate in the end, just like Orochimaru, being possessed by Kaguya."

"Don't even think about taking shortcuts. If you want to achieve the Kekkei Mōra, you either need to honestly cultivate the fusion of Seven Attributes."

"Either we use the immense Chakra the Ten-Tails to achieve a qualitative change through quantitative change."

"Other shortcuts are difficult to find."

Izumi Uchiha and said, "Indeed! Although I feel very comfortable, I'm still a long, long way from advancing to the next level."

"However, I feel that my strength has increased, and the flexibility of my Chakra has also improved."

After chatting for a while, Yichen said, "Alright, everything on the moon is settled, let's go back to the Ninja World."

When we arrived, we all used the Moon-Earth Channel, just like Orochimaru, mainly to prevent information about Sokai's eye techniques from being leaked.

But when I went back, I didn't have so many concerns.

Sokai's Rinnegan flashed, and he quickly identified a direction. Then he opened a Space-Time Door.

The group passed through the Space-Time Door one after another and arrived directly in the Ninja World, right next to the Iwagakure.
