"It's the Dragon King!"
"The Dragon King has appeared in the Land of Ancestors!"
"May the Dragon God protect us and bless us with favorable weather and abundant harvests next year!"
"Please, Dragon King, grant me a bowl of rice!"
"Dragon God!"
"It's the Azure Dragon!"
"Go and report this to the Emperor immediately!!!"
Amidst various shouts and cries, the warriors stormed into the emperor's room.
But before they could speak, the emperor had already spoken.
"No need to say anything, I've already seen it!"
Following the goddess's descent into our Land of Ancestors, dragon kings have been arriving in droves!
This... this is a sign that my Land of Ancestors is about to prosper!!!
At this point, the emperor's expression had become somewhat distorted.
He simply couldn't understand why fate had been so kind to him.
Could it be that I am actually God's son?
Was the reason his father named him the Son of Heaven because he actually knew the truth?
As he pondered this, an even greater ambition rose within the emperor's heart; he suddenly wanted more!
As someone favored by the goddess and the dragon king, he had no reason to live such an ordinary life!
Perhaps, he really might unify the world in his lifetime!
Even if the Land of Ancestors only has a few dozen samurai now, so what?
The will of Heaven cannot be defied!
For a time, the emperor was lost in a long-lasting dream.
While the emperor was dreaming, Otsutsuki was also in his room, expressionless as he watched the giant dragon in the sky.
As she watched, she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
"It turns out that among the native gods of this planet, there are also those who appear to be quite powerful."
Wait a minute, this dragon doesn't look weak. Could it be a tool for me to resist the main family?
For example, if we sacrifice him to the Divine Tree, wouldn't the Divine Tree surely produce a very powerful biological weapon?
Okay, please forgive Kaguya, because she has never known the meaning of cooperation in her entire life.
Or perhaps, the only time in her life she collaborated with someone was when she planted trees with Isshiki Ōtsutsuki.
This collaboration nearly cost her her life, and even now, she is still suffering the consequences of it...
In short, at this very moment.
The Otsutsuki Azure Dragon to fight against the Ōtsutsuki Main Family.
In her eyes, everything is nothing more than a slave, or a tool!
As Kaguya continued to ponder, Gawain looked down from the sky.
Gawain's gaze swept past the guards of the Daimyo's mansion, and he had already spotted Kaguya.
So, is this so-called emperor of the Land of Ancestors really just Oda?
An ordinary ruler of a small country inexplicably hitched a ride on Kaguya's coattails and ended up unifying the world.
Qin Shi Huang's unification of China required the efforts of seven generations of ancestors.
This so-called emperor is quite something; he unified the world, but all he needs to do is fawn over Kaguya!
Oh.
With a soft chuckle, Gawain lowered his dragon head from the clouds.
His flowing beard and heavy dragon breath instantly landed in the courtyard of the Land of Ancestors.
Looking at the yard, which was even smaller than his own head, Gawain took a breath and said in a low voice.
"Where is the esteemed person here? Come out and see me!"
"Here!!!"
As soon as Gawain finished speaking, the stunned emperor was immediately dragged out of the house by his men.
Didn't you hear that the Dragon King wants to see the Emperor? Who dares to disturb the Emperor's good fortune?
Besides, even if the Dragon King actually wanted to kill the Emperor, they wouldn't really stop him.
After all, in Japan, the dragon is also a symbol of emperors, authority, and divinity. If a dragon were to eat the emperor, it must mean that the emperor had done something wrong!
Moreover, does it matter whether the emperor has lost his virtue or not?
We don't want to die!!!
And so, the emperor, like a chick, was carried by his men to Gawain's side.
Thump!
As soon as his subordinates released him, the emperor couldn't help but kneel on the ground.
He wanted to pay his respects to Gawain, but he was so frightened that he couldn't even utter a word.
As for Gawain, he had no interest in paying attention to the emperor. Instead, he looked at the guard who had spoken up for the emperor earlier and gave him an appreciative look.
To be able to speak to him in this state shows that this person already possesses a considerable degree of magnanimity.
It seems that in the original storyline, the emperor's ability to unify the world wasn't entirely due to Kaguya's influence.
He also has several excellent subordinates of his own.
As he thought about it, Gawain nodded slightly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
His nod stirred up a strong wind, causing everyone's clothes to flutter and their hearts to pound.
After nodding, Gawain spoke softly to the emperor and the others.
"Are you the lord of this country, young man?"
"I am Azure Dragon Gao, and I have come here with important business for you!"
"I... I... I'm listening!"
The emperor finally spoke, trembling with fear as he awaited Gawain's command.
Kaguya, who hadn't left her room, also glanced curiously at Gawain, wanting to know what the daily life of the native god was like.
Under Kaguya's curious gaze, Gawain continued speaking.
"Seventeen days ago, in the mountains near the distant Land of Wells, I encountered a scoundrel who dared to offend me!"
That bastard was actually quite strong; he fought me for several minutes before falling into a disadvantageous position.
I originally intended to suppress him in the mountains, but he was cunning and managed to escape!
More than ten days have passed, and I still can't find him. So I'm going to announce this to the world.
If anyone can provide me with information about that person's whereabouts, I will reward them handsomely!
So, young emperor of the Land of Ancestors, do you know what you should do?
Like kings of all nations, mobilize your subjects and subordinates to search for the person I am looking for!
Did you hear that?!
At this point, Gawain feigned sternness, and the wind he created while speaking seemed to blow down the emperor's stable.
The dozen or so ponies suddenly suffered cardiac arrest, neighed twice, and then passed out.
As for the emperor...
After a brief moment of fear, he surprisingly recovered, slowly straightening his knees and then prostrating himself in worship.
"I understand, Your Majesty the Dragon God. I will lead my people to find out who has offended you!"
However, Lord Dragon God.
What is the name of the person you are looking for, and what does he/she look like?
Having said that, the Emperor waited anxiously yet calmly for Gawain's response. Now that he had experienced Kaguya's arrival, he had gradually come to terms with things.
Upon hearing the emperor's question, Gawain chuckled inwardly, then continued speaking calmly.
"Very well, since that's the case, I will tell you what that bastard looks like."
That scoundrel was nine feet tall, with skin as white as a ghost, a single horn on his head, and black markings covering his face.
As for his name, humph!
Although he has a given name and a surname, I've never heard of his family.
According to him, his family is extremely powerful, and their name is... the Otsutsuki Clan!
And his name is Isshiki Ōtsutsuki, he...?"
"Um?!!"
Just as Gawain finished speaking, Kaguya suddenly moved!
When Gawain described that bastard's appearance, Kaguya felt a sense of familiarity.
That thing sounds exactly like their clan.
Listening further, she realized it was indeed the Otsutsuki Clan, and Kaguya was stunned.
Could it be that the main family has already arrived?
Could there be other Otsutsuki members living on this planet?
Could it be?
No, no, no!
It was Isshiki! Isshiki was still alive!!!
"What did you say!!!"
She let out a loud shout, her usual calm expression vanishing without a trace.
Suddenly bursting out of the wall, Kaguya, with an incredulous and naive expression, frowned as she looked at Gawain!
"What did you just say, local indigenous god?!"
What did you say that person's name was? Are you sure it's Isshiki Ōtsutsuki?
Speak quickly!
Kaguya was furious, her whole body almost bursting into flames, even her long hair swayed in the wind.
Gawain, looking at Kaguya, gritted his teeth.
In order to avoid arousing Kaguya's suspicion, and also in order to cooperate with Kaguya.
I must do what my current persona dictates at times like these!!!
So, as the native Dragon God, what should he do upon seeing Kaguya?
Gawain looked slightly taken aback, then suddenly opened his mouth wide.
"Hmph, it's that kind of shockingly white skin, and those little horns on its head!"
Even though you're a woman, you're in cahoots with that bastard who offended me!
"Te!!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain spat out a mouthful of flames.
Kaguya remained motionless as the flames approached, allowing them to pass through her body.
The only thing capable of slightly injuring her is Yin–Yang Release; the Five Elements are merely playthings for her now that she is a god!
She stared at Gawain with a cold expression and continued to question him.
"Native gods, stop doing pointless things and answer my question!"
"You're the one who should be answering my question, woman! You're a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan!!!"
Gawain responded without hesitation, then raised his Dragon Claw and slashed fiercely.
This time, a Chop Wave carrying boundless black energy cut directly towards Kaguya.
Kaguya was slightly taken aback. This kind of attack... seemed like it might hurt her?
But this doesn't look like Yin–Yang Release, does it?
This isn't chakra, is it?
Etc!
Suddenly, Kaguya understood!
The dragon opposite actually materialized its spiritual power and applied it to its own attack!
Here we must mention the foundation of power in the Naruto world: chakra!
Chakra has existed within everyone from the very beginning, and it also continuously circulates and grows around two cores.
The two core elements of chakra are taijutsu (physical techniques) and mental power!
The art of taijutsu is beyond question; the physical body is like a lake, and chakra is like the water and fish swimming in that lake—it is the foundation of everything.
At the same time, spiritual power is also indispensable. Spiritual power is like heaven and earth, enveloping the lake of taijutsu, allowing those who possess chakra to create their own world.
In terms of ninjutsu, taijutsu is naturally taijutsu, while mental power is genjutsu.
Meanwhile, physical techniques fall under the category of Yang Escape, while mental power belongs to Yin Escape.
As for other techniques like Earth Release and Fire Release...
Those are all minor techniques outside of Yin–Yang Release.
If we continue to explain all sorts of miscellaneous escape techniques from the perspective of heaven, earth, and lakes, then they are like fish swimming in lakes and birds and beasts flying in the sky.
It is a byproduct of the active Yin-Yang dual escape and the interaction of Heaven and Earth.
In short, from Kaguya's perspective at this moment, the Azure Dragon opposite her, although it did not use chakra...
But this Azure Dragon is extremely proficient in the Yin-Yang escape techniques!
There's no doubt it's a Yang-style escape technique; this dragon is full of Yang energy and looks incredibly tough.
As for Yin Dun...
This dragon's every move is imbued with spiritual power!
Thinking about it, it makes sense; it 'Armament Haki, or rather, Haki itself.
Ultimately, isn't it all about the power of the spirit?
Although it wasn't something I came up with.
But this kind of Haki is also a means of turning the mindset of "I firmly believe I can do it, I am capable of doing it" into reality.
Using the spirit to protect the body is the core of power in the world of Pirate King.
Three Types of Haki involve the application of spiritual power, while Seimei Kikan involves the application of physical power.
If you were to switch places to the Naruto World, their worldviews would be strangely similar.
As a result, Kaguya frowned and ultimately stepped to the side to dodge Gawain's casual slash.
"Azure Dragon!"
Kaguya said.
"Although you can't use chakra, your body is full of power!"
I'm not praising you, or... I am praising you, because I don't want to kill you easily!
I'll say it one last time: answer my question!
The enemy you encountered before was indeed named Isshiki Ōtsutsuki!
"Hmph, is that even a lie!"
And who are you, anyway?!
Haven't you heard that before asking someone a question, you should first introduce yourself, woman?!
Gawain roared at Kaguya, then slowly transformed from his Azure Dragon form into human form.
Looking at Kaguya's height, Gawain pondered for a moment and kept his own height at around 3.2 meters.
Gawain casually picked up the slightly sprouting wooden sword in his hand and pointed it at Kaguya's chest.
"Your reaction to the name Isshiki Ōtsutsuki is far too strong."
You do know each other, but you... don't seem to be with him.
Even though you heard that I had beaten him to the point of near death, you still didn't want to fight me.
So, you are enemies?
"Indeed!"
Kaguya readily confirmed Gawain's statement.
At the same time, she gritted her teeth.
"I am mortal enemies with Isshiki!!"
"Hehe, interesting, really interesting."
Hearing Kaguya's words, Gawain grinned and chuckled softly.
"That guy has such a cocky attitude; he's definitely made a lot of enemies."
She was someone who spoke with an air of nobility but never with a lowly one, constantly talking about the main family and the lowly servants of the branch family.
I bet everyone wanted to kill him, right?
At this point, Gawain noticed that Kaguya's expression suddenly changed!
At this moment, Kaguya actually showed a hint of vulnerability, as if the words "separation from the family" and "lowly servant" had slightly affected her.
While Kaguya was briefly stunned, Gawain took a breath and continued.
"Speaking of which, why don't you introduce yourself yet?"
What's your name? Is there anything you'd rather not tell me?
By the way, the reason that guy Isshiki Ōtsutsuki came to provoke me was because he seemed to be planning to team up with me to deal with a girl named Kaguya Otsutsuki, whom he called a lowly branch family servant.
It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it? Are you the one who split up the family property...?!
"Shut up!!!"
At this moment, Kaguya's cold demeanor vanished completely.
"No one can call me that anymore, not even Isshiki, not even the main family, not even you, absolutely not!!!"
As she spoke fiercely, Kaguya raised her right hand sharply.
"Amenominaka!!!"
"Holy crap?!?!"
Gawain's eyes widened in surprise; Kaguya was indeed very good at stress management.
She immediately unleashed the Amenominaka!
For a moment, Gawain and everyone else in the courtyard were also affected.
They were all transported by Kaguya, along with the land beneath their feet, to her own world, a world where only the five elements stood side by side!
Standing in the void, Gawain gritted his teeth and gripped the knife in his hand tightly.
Kaguya has successfully broken down her own mental defenses.
Next, as long as he doesn't die from Kaguya's wrath...
Then I would be qualified to become Kaguya's collaborator and friend!
And this is the fastest and best way to obtain the Chakra Fruit in the current world!
