Ōtsutsuki Sugito was furious, the extremely, incredibly furious kind.
In the past two years, the Rebel Army had grown increasingly powerful, and many clan members had expressed the need to punish Earth.
To protect the will of his ancestors, Sugito, as the Clan Head, would fight to the bitter end.
Earth was not yet beyond saving; as the overseers, the Otsutsuki Clan needed to grant the Ninja World sufficient patience.
He believed peace would eventually come.
However, before he could devise a plan, news suddenly arrived from his subordinates: intruders, suspected to be from Earth, were slaughtering people within the palace.
In just ten minutes, several clan members had already perished, and the intruders were now heading towards the data archives.
"The data archives?" Sugito's tightly furrowed brow relaxed slightly. He knew very well that it was a dead end; once they entered, there was no coming out.
After a moment's thought, he decisively issued an order: "Seal the news. Absolutely do not let the Rebel Army obtain this information."
If those guys found out, they would undoubtedly publicize it widely, causing the hesitant clan members to join the ranks of those who wanted to conquer Earth.
"Clan Head." His subordinate hesitated but gritted his teeth and said, "The invaders are very strong. Our people are no match for them."
"Hmph, if they weren't strong, they wouldn't have reached the moon," Sugito gritted his teeth, deciding to deploy one of the Main Family's most crucial trump cards.
The Human Puppet army created by the ancestors.
With them, casualties could be minimized to the greatest extent possible; no matter how powerful the enemy, they could be worn down and killed.
The only concern was that currently, no one within the clan possessed the technology to create the puppets. Although there were many of them, they were consumed one by one, with no way to replenish them.
"I hope they capture those bastards quickly."
As for why Ōtsutsuki Sugito didn't go himself, the reason was simple: his strength was too pathetic.
The Main Family had reached his generation by completely living off past glories.
Otherwise, if he were even slightly more capable, the Rebel Army would have been wiped out long ago.
Having received the Clan Head's orders, his subordinate was about to leave when suddenly, another person rushed in frantically.
"This is bad! Young Master Taito, he..."
Ōtsutsuki Taito, the Clan Head's only descendant and future successor to the Main Family's leadership.
The young man's strength and spirit were far superior to his father's. Upon hearing about intruders from Earth, he had immediately led his trusted subordinates to intercept them.
The outcome was predictable; he was no match for the Hyuga Clan.
Before he could even report his name, he was struck on a vital point on his chest with a single finger, ultimately dying from an uncontrollable Chakra surge within his body.
Clang!
Ōtsutsuki Sugito smashed his favorite cup and overturned the entire table before him, his eyes filled with uncontrollable rage.
"Earthlings are insatiable. One day, they will destroy everything."
This was the declaration of the Rebel Army. He had scoffed at it initially but now, inexplicably, he could understand its meaning.
Pushing open the door to the conference room, Ōtsutsuki Sugito stumbled towards the forbidden grounds behind the palace.
Legend had it that the ancestor Ōtsutsuki Hamura was buried in the forbidden grounds, where his ultimate weapon for his descendants lay waiting.
It was the highest secret known only to the most legitimate descendants of the Main Family.
Even if the Branch Family's Rebel Army won, they would not be able to obtain the blessings left by their ancestor.
"Earthlings, not a single one of you will leave alive."
"Perhaps I was wrong, and the ancestors were wrong. Earth is indeed a hopeless place."
"It must be thoroughly purged!"
Outside the data archives, Kyosuke felt a dull ache in his jaw.
"You killed Young Master Taito! Our clan will never forgive you!"
"Damn Earthlings, you should all go to hell!"
"I swear, one day I will completely expel you all!"
Even though their words couldn't affect them, the few Moon dwellers on the other side were still pouring out their anger.
From their curses, Kyosuke had roughly understood one thing: they had accidentally killed the Main Family's sole heir.
"Good grief, this has gotten out of hand," he felt a pang of anxiety.
Honestly, Kyosuke didn't want to cause such a huge commotion. At the very least, he wanted to ensure their transaction could be completed.
But what could he do? The Jonin of the Hyuga Clan were too ferocious; they basically killed anyone they saw.
Even though the enemies were still several kilometers away, they had already planned an ambush.
As a result, they had directly taken down the young master of the Main Family on the spot, and his death was truly gruesome.
"This guy too. Doesn't he know his own limits? Why did he have to come looking for trouble? He deserves to die."
Kyosuke cursed the intruders and then the deceased, not stepping forward to join the fight, just waiting for the Hyuga Tenjin inside the room to find the Tenseigan data.
He knew the data archives were a dead end. Facing the relentless attacks of the enemies, they would eventually be unable to hold on.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance, leaving a Flying Thunder God Technique coordinate at the barrier. Once he got his hands on the item, he could just use the Flying Thunder God Technique to make his escape.
"Fight, fight all you want, just don't hit me in the face with the moon later."
After all, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was sealed within the moon.
If the moon were to be thrown at them, it was uncertain what would happen to Earth, but Kaguya would definitely break free.
At that time, the Ninja World would truly be done for.
However, on second thought, something like that probably wouldn't happen.
The Sage of Six Paths, hidden by the banks of the river in the Pure Land, his younger brother whose life or death was unknown, and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, hiding somewhere unknown – no one would want to see Kaguya break free.
If such a day were to come, perhaps the old Sage of Six Paths would be pleased and bestow upon him the max-level Yin power, allowing him to play around with a Rinne Sharingan too.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Ahead, a large force of Human Puppets attacked.
Compared to the craftsmanship of Sasori of the Red Sands, the Ōtsutsuki's Human Puppet technology was clearly superior.
Regardless of the material quality, they could easily be made into Human Puppets, and the user could control them remotely and wirelessly, which was truly convenient.
It was just that their combat effectiveness was somewhat inconsistent. Besides firing light spheres with a biu biu biu, they had no other means of attack.
For ordinary ninja, biu biu biu might seem powerful, but for a Jonin of the Hyuga Clan, who had mastered taijutsu, the opponents were pretty much a walk in the park.
Revolving Heaven's spin, no one's favorite!
No matter what light spheres came their way, they would all be sent flying back.
Despite the sheer number of puppet troops, they couldn't carve a path through. The direct lineage troops of Hyuga Tenjin were indeed extraordinary.
While contemplating, a violent roar caught Kyosuke's attention.
"Wh-what is that?!" Hyuga Kenji, an Elite Jonin, exclaimed in slight panic.
Under his Byakugan's gaze, a massive chakra aggregate, appearing to be burning, was rapidly approaching their location.
One of the Jonin charged forward, only to be quickly killed by the opponent.
"Damn it, I can't let this affect the Clan Head." Hyuga Kenji sent out a signal, recalling the remaining three Jonin.
The moment of decisive battle had arrived!
