Chiyo was shocked when he heard Kaguya say the word "burial".
Her tone was cold and decisive, as if she had already accepted some unchangeable outcome.
He turned his head and stared at Kaguya's profile.
Under the moonlight, her silver hair glowed faintly, but there was an imperceptible sadness hidden in her white eyes.
"Buried with someone?"
Chiyo repeated softly, frowning slightly.
"Why do you say that?"
Kaguya didn't answer, just looked at the starry sky quietly, as if there were secrets there that she couldn't tell.
Chiyo saw this and stopped asking further questions.
He raised his head and looked at the night sky with her, but his thoughts were swirling in his heart.
Kaguya claims to be the "guardian of Divine Tree", but Chiyo does not sense the presence of Divine Tree around.
Divine Tree Once it takes root, it will absorb the energy of the entire world. It is impossible for him not to detect such huge chakra fluctuations.
"Could it be that...Divine Tree hasn't been planted yet?"
Chiyo felt something in his heart.
If Divine Tree has not yet appeared, then Kaguya may come to this world many years earlier than he expected.
As Chiyo shut up, a moment of silence spread between the two.
About ten minutes passed.
Kaguya glanced sideways slightly and couldn't help but said softly.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chiyo came back to his senses and shook his head.
"Nothing, just thinking... the 'burial' you mentioned just now sounds very heavy."
Kaguya's eyes turned to the distance again, and his voice was low.
"Some things are destined to be unchangeable."
Chiyo's heart sank, and he vaguely guessed the meaning of her words.
But he didn't point it out, but followed her words and asked.
"Can you tell me something?"
Kaguya was silent for a moment and finally spoke.
"Tell you a story."
Chiyo nodded and waited quietly for her story.
"A long time ago, there was a person who was born with a mission."
Kaguya's voice was ethereal and distant, as if she was telling a legend that had nothing to do with her.
"Her people told her that her fate was already sealed.
She must protect Divine Tree until it swallows the whole world, and her fate is to become a sacrifice to Divine Tree, and eventually the whole world will perish together."
Chiyo's pupils shrank and he thought to himself.
Sure enough, it is a series from I Have a Friend.
Isn't this your own story?
Chiyo remembers the plot.
It seems that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki came to this world together with Ten-Tails.
And Kaguya is the nourishment of the designated Ten-Tails.
Everything seems to be going right.
Kaguya continued with a hint of deathly silence in his eyes.
"She tried to resist, but the strength of the tribe was too strong, and her struggle was meaningless.
Ultimately, she chose to accept her fate and came to this world, ready to fulfill her responsibilities."
After telling the story, Kaguya's eyes dimmed, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
But at this moment, Chiyo suddenly stood up.
"I don't like this story."
Chiyo suddenly spoke with a firm tone.
Kaguya was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.
"Why?"
"Because its ending is so sad."
Chiyo looked directly into her eyes and his voice was sonorous and powerful.
"That person obviously had no chance to change the status quo for the time being, but he gave up the opportunity and himself because of the so-called 'fate'.
This is not an arrangement of fate at all, but her own choice!"
Kaguya's eyes flickered slightly.
"Destiny is never determined.
It is like a river that seems unable to change its direction.
But if we are strong enough, we can build dams and even redirect them!
If she really wants to resist, she can accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity to come!"
"Hard work pays off!~"
"Success is reserved for those who are prepared.
I believe that as long as you seize the opportunity, when the time comes!
As a result, there must be some changes.
Or in the story, the person who becomes the nourishment may not be her!~"
"Or just destroy Divine Tree!"
Kaguya stared blankly at Chiyo.
There was a hint of disbelief in his voice.
"That's impossible...
Divine Tree is the foundation of the clan, and its power is unrivaled."
"Invincible?"
Chiyo sneered.
"Then let me ask you, did she really seize the opportunity?
Not at all, because she never really tried!
Power is never absolute, as long as you find a way, even the most powerful enemy can be defeated."
Kaguya fell silent, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
Chiyo's words were like a key, opening her closed heart little by little.
"You know what?"
Chiyo slowed down his tone, with encouragement in his voice.
"In my hometown, there is a saying that 'man can conquer nature'.
It means that as long as the will is strong enough, even the fate arranged by God can be broken.
Just like the story of Cowherd Weaver Girl I told you just now...
Could it be that Weaver Girl was taken away and left, and Cowherd had to listen to it?
Then Weaver Girl will never be seen again.
Therefore, we must learn to fight!
If the person in your story doesn't even have the courage to try, that's a real failure."
Kaguya's eyes gradually brightened, as if he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness.
She murmured softly.
"Man can conquer heaven..."
Chiyo Strike while the iron is hot.
"I can help you if you want.
Together we find a way to change the outcome of this story."
Kaguya raised his head, with a hint of determination and seriousness in his white eyes.
She looked at Chiyo, as if she could really see him clearly for the first time.
"You... why do you want to help me?"
Chiyo smiled slightly, with sincere eyes.
"Because I don't want to see you end up like that. You deserve better Mirai."
Kaguya's heart trembled suddenly.
Sure enough, he guessed that what he just said was his own story...
An unprecedented warmth spread in my chest.
Kaguya nodded slowly.
"Okay, I'm willing to give it a try."
Chiyo's eyes flashed with relief.
He knew that Kaguya's heart had begun to waver, and this was the key to changing everything.
"However, we need to make a plan."
Chiyo stood up and stretched out his hand towards her.
"First of all, we have to find out when your tribe will come and the specific situation of Divine Tree."
Kaguya hesitated for a moment, and finally put her hand on his palm.
Chiyo gently pulled her up from the ground.
The distance between the two of them instantly shortened, and Kaguya could even feel the temperature of his breath.
Her cheeks were slightly red, but she didn't move away.
"I'll tell you everything I know."
Chiyo nodded.
"Then we'll start taking action tomorrow. Let's have a good rest tonight."
Kaguya said "hmm", but his eyes unconsciously stayed on Chiyo's face.
She suddenly discovered that this man from another world seemed to be more dazzling than the starry sky.
The night wind blew by, taking away the last silence.
Chiyo looked into the distance, with strange colors flowing in his eyes.
He knows that changing the fate of Kaguya is a key step in bringing the relationship closer.
Kaguya!
A powerful yet simple-minded woman...
The whole Shinobi World is just like this!
Chiyo is naturally not to be missed!
Of course, facing a "high-level" character like Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.
Chiyo's current strength is still lacking.
However, Chiyo is not without its ability to fight.
After all, it was Mission Reward who was cut off this time!
It's Divine Technique!
Kaguya ah!
For your safety, I am Chiyo...
I have to cut you off!
Kaguya, you don't want both you and me to die in the hands of Isshiki, right?
