Otsutsuki Toneri, Wandering Through the Space-Time Rift

Beyond the Starry Sky.

"I wasn't torn apart...?"

Upon waking, Otsutsuki Toneri felt a dazed sensation in his body.

The body is intact and has not suffered any serious damage.

"Is it that at the moment of being sucked in, it tears apart the senses, but doesn't tear the body itself?"

He soon began to wander through the dimly lit environment.

There's trash floating everywhere here.

It looks like a giant outer space junkyard.

He hadn't been wandering around for long when he sensed the Dead Planet that had been pulled into the Space-Time Rift along with him.

"So it wasn't torn to shreds after all..."

He continued forward.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a strange rustling sound.

biology?

His heart shivered.

He quickly slowed down his pace.

If he can survive here, it's not impossible that there are other creatures here as well.

If they had eyes, they would probably already know what the other thing is.

However, he has no eyes and can only rely on his senses.

It can perceive and judge the outline of the other party, but it cannot distinguish many things, such as color.

As he moved his body little by little, a very large entity gradually entered his perception range!

At this distance, he could now clearly sense that the other party was a gigantic creature!

However, this creature's size is extremely exaggerated!

It must be at least thirty or forty meters long!

It seems to be eating something!

"What exactly is it...?"

He sensed that it was slowly and completely enveloped.

The rustling sound stopped the instant it was completely covered!

The enormous creature seemed to have stopped swallowing something.

However, at this moment, Otsutsuki Toneri finally determined what kind of creature the other party was.

That was the same aura that shared his roots!

The aura of the Otsutsuki!

"What kind of Otsutsuki could have such a huge size?!"

His face turned pale instantly, even though it was already pale to begin with.

"Rustle..."

Within his field of vision, the enormous creature before him slightly twisted its body.

The next second, the other person's body suddenly stiffened.

"Not good!"

Otsutsuki Toneri was very experienced; usually, this kind of physical condition would only occur when the other party was facing him and noticed him!

He instantly retreated rapidly backward!

"Roar--!"

"Bang!!"

In an instant, the huge rock where he had just been standing was smashed to pieces by the giant creature's Claws!

Otsutsuki Toneri retreated at lightning speed.

"I've got it! Besides the Otsutsuki, what other creature possesses the Otsutsuki Presence and is of such enormous size?"

"Ten-Tails!!"

"An entity that specifically devours Otsutsuki!"

"This is terrible!"

"Am I really going to be eaten by this Ten-Tails I just stumbled upon without even seeing Limbo Shadow of the Otsutsuki Ancestral Planet?!"

After regaining his sense of self from the altered Kotoamatsukami Kanami, Otsutsuki Toneri became noticeably more self-centered emotionally.

He now knew the reason why he had called for Kanami to feed his master, as he remembered it.

I just didn't pay too much attention to it.

It's possible that Kotoamatsukami is still subtly influencing him, or it's possible that he himself doesn't think it matters.

"Roar--!"

The Ten-Tails roared fiercely behind him, but only chased Otsutsuki Toneri for a short distance before stopping.

Otsutsuki Toneri thus successfully escaped.

"Call..."

"Thank goodness it stopped chasing me, but why did it suddenly stop chasing me...? Even if I'm not a purebred Otsutsuki, as they love to eat Otsutsuki, I shouldn't be so listless..."

Could it be... that it was just eating another Otsutsuki that was even purer than me?!

"Could the Otsutsuki Ancestral Planet have also been sucked into the Space-Time Rift?"

After a long silence, he shook his head, rejecting his own idea.

"The chances are slim, and I need to find a way out as soon as possible... If there was nothing here, it would be fine, but now we've found a Ten-Tails..."

Time flies.

Under Kanami's leadership as the Emperor Akashi, the technological advancements of the entire Shinobi World finally returned to normal.

Although the progress compared to before is not significant.

At least the Ninja won't reject certain technologies anymore.

For example, electricity.

There will never again be situations where there are power lines in the village, but only the Noble District have access to electricity, while most commoners still use kerosene lamps, and so on.

While the integration of education and practice is still progressing slowly.

Despite numerous doubts, small progress was made due to Kanami's powerful deterrent effect.

"Kanami, many people feel that what you're doing has cut off their livelihood. Noble are cursing you, Ninja are cursing you. Should we continue doing this?"

Hinata grasped Kanami's hand and asked weakly.

"Don't you also understand why I insist on doing this?"

Hinata shook her head, then nodded.

"I understand a little bit, but I don't understand if it's worth it for them to do all this while bearing the brunt of the criticism?"

"It's definitely not worth it for them."

"Then why...?"

"Because I was never doing this for them. The change in education will allow Ninja to have their own thoughts, and although these thoughts may clash and create friction..."

After experiencing many collisions, they will naturally learn which path to take.

At that time, I won't need to guide this world anymore; it will function on its own.

Feng An pulled Hinata in front of him, "Then, I can quit! I can travel around with Hinata in peace!"

There's no need to worry about my father-in-law and the others in the village getting hurt.

"Actually... I don't think Father and the others will get hurt now," Hinata blinked, "Now, no one in the Shinobi World should dare to mess with you, right?"

"No," Kanami laughed, "Isn't there you here too?"

Hinata blushed slightly, "Seriously!"

Kanami remained silent for a long time. "What if—I mean, what if—what if I die?"

Hinata gently patted Kanami's chest with her left palm, her gaze earnest. "I won't let you die."

"I know Kanami has a weak sense of security. He's been afraid since he was little, and he gets scared whenever things are out of his control. But as long as we face things together, the unknown isn't so scary."

She added with a smile.

Kanami was stunned upon hearing this.

After a long pause, "This doesn't even sound like Hinata would say."

"You're the one who encouraged me to read more and study more..."

"What are you shy about? I'm praising your significant improvement in cultural literacy!"

"Oh..."

Kanami could clearly smell Hinata's scent, but his gaze seemed fixed on the Starry Sky.
