Inside Fuyuki's consciousness space.
Fuyuki, who usually spent his days roasting Hiashi, was uncharacteristically showing a flustered expression.
He was sitting in the lap of the mature version of Kaguya, held tightly in the Ancestor's embrace.
Moreover, Kaguya wore a motherly smile that made Fuyuki feel completely uncomfortable; the Ancestor was simply too enthusiastic.
"My good child," Kaguya-hime said, resting her chin on the top of Fuyuki's head, her voice filled with reluctance. "You are the first in a millennium to rescue me from my seal. As a reward for being a good child, is there anything you want?"
Kaguya was a Leo, possessing the personality of an extremely arrogant empress with an overwhelming need for control.
The moment she saw Fuyuki, she had regarded him as her own flesh and blood!
As for Hagoromo and Hamura? They were just two kids picked up from a trash can; they could be discarded for all she cared. Fuyuki, who had taken the initiative to save her from her seal and flowed with the blood of the pure Byakugan, was much better.
She didn't care whether Fuyuki was willing or not; she was determined to be Fuyuki's mother now.
As a biological mother, seeing her own son do something worthy of praise, she naturally had to reward him well.
Even if rescuing her was only temporary, she was still overjoyed; it had taken a millennium of waiting to reach this moment!
"I..." Fuyuki hesitated for a moment before saying, "I want to learn your ninjutsu, Ancestor."
His true thoughts were actually quite perverted—he wanted Kaguya to kiss his cheek—but considering the massive age gap between him and the Ancestor, he didn't have the nerve to voice it, opting instead for a reward Kaguya-hime could more easily accept.
There was no helping it; as a transmigrator, Fuyuki's desire for a white-haired, youthful-looking beauty was carved deep into his soul. Now that he had encountered a genuine one, he was shy!
"Hmm."
Kaguya-hime pondered for a moment and said, "Very well. I can teach you the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. As for other techniques, your current body is simply incapable of understanding or learning them."
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Fuyuki was thrilled. The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was the Nintaijutsu he wanted most.
Next came Kaguya's teaching session, but Fuyuki had clearly underestimated just how unreliable the Ancestor was.
"The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack is very simple. You just do this, then this, and then this. Then, you radiate it outside your body, trigger the resonance of the Chakra between heaven and earth, and a single punch thrown out is the God Vacuum Attack. Continuous, uninterrupted strikes are the Eighty Deep Vacuum."
Fuyuki: "???"
Why was it that he could understand every word the Ancestor said, but once they were combined, he couldn't understand a thing?
What did "do this" and "do that" mean? You should be telling me how to circulate Chakra, how to combine the Chakra within my body with natural Chakra, and how to throw that invincible punch that shakes the heavens and earth!
Honestly, Fuyuki wanting Kaguya to teach him ninjutsu was about as effective as a Taobao VIP membership.
During Kaguya's lifetime, the concept of "jutsu" did not exist, nor did the Otsutsuki clan have the concept of "ninjutsu." They were born knowing how to use Chakra; manipulating it was an instinctive, subconscious reaction. They didn't need to perform hand seals or develop new ninjutsu like ninjas.
If you asked Kaguya to use the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, she could strike for a day without breaking a sweat, but if you asked her to teach it, she wouldn't know how. She could only describe the feeling of using the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack herself.
"Hmm, the time is almost up. I must return to the sealing space. I look forward to seeing you again, my most adorable, good child." Kaguya hugged Fuyuki, gently rubbing her cheek against his. "When your Chakra volume is the same as that inferior creature from earlier, you will be able to unleash the 'God Vacuum Attack.' The Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack is still quite difficult for a young one like you. Farewell!"
"Is that even human language???" Fuyuki was dumbfounded.
When my Chakra is the same as that inferior creature, I can use the God Vacuum Attack?
Ancestor, are you referring to Auntie Orochimaru?
That guy! He is a Kage-level powerhouse, one of the top ten combatants in the world! You need his level of Chakra to use your Nintaijutsu? Are you trying to screw over your grandson?!
Inside the consciousness space, Kaguya was slowly fading away. Outside, the loli version of Kaguya-hime used her long hair to scoop up the unconscious Hyuga Natsumi at her feet. Using space-time abilities, she sent her newly recognized child back home, gazing with reluctance at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window. "It is a pity that no one can understand me. Isshiki, Momoshiki, the Fisherman—they will not let go of the world I created."
The loli version of Kaguya began to dissolve. The black, mud-like Spirit Binding Vehicle peeled off her cheeks, revealing Fuyuki's face beneath. The chains on his hands, feet, and neck also shattered the moment Kaguya left, turning into fragments and falling away.
"Ugh."
Fuyuki opened his eyes and immediately felt a wave of nausea. His body was unsteady, and he began to cough violently while leaning against the desk. Several red, spherical objects were spat out from Fuyuki's mouth. They bounced on the tabletop a few times before their red glow faded, turning into dark red glass beads.
"What the hell is this?"
Fuyuki wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and frowned at the dark red spheres on the table. Their appearance was plain, showing no signs of anything unusual, but he immediately recalled Kaguya's full name: Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Fuyuki suspected these things were "Elixirs." He hadn't forgotten that when Kaguya descended, she had used Wood Release to freshly squeeze a Nine-Tails Demon Fox, draining its Chakra until not a single drop remained.
Kaguya-hime hadn't used many skills; she had only used a Byakugan pressure and three God Vacuum Attack punches. Could these dark red glass beads be the remaining Chakra of the Nine-Tails Demon Fox, processed by Kaguya-hime?
If that was the case...
Please allow me to say: Ancestor, you are amazing!
"Bang!"
The door was pushed open with force. Hinata ran into Fuyuki's room in a panic. "Fuyuki, hurry! The clan ninjas are about to set out!"
"???"
Three question marks hung over Fuyuki's head as he stared in surprise at Hinata, who had barged into his room.
Seeing Fuyuki's reaction and noticing the bedding on the bed and Natsumi, who was taking a nap on the low table, Hinata immediately assumed Fuyuki had been napping. She said, "In our home—pfft, a great battle has broken out in the mountains behind our home. The Chakra fluctuations are comparable to the Nine-Tails Incident from back then. The Third Hokage just announced a state of combat readiness."
"The women and children of the clan have already assembled and are about to head to the Konoha shelter."
Fuyuki: "Ah?"
Hinata: "Ah what, you stinky little brother, hurry up!"
Ryūchi Cave.
"Orochimaru, This Seat tells you, today's affair is no longer something that can be settled with mere sacrifices! I am going to strike palms with you three times right here and now to sever our father-son relationship!"
Returning to Ryūchi Cave, Manda let out a hiss filled with explosive rage.
Before Manda lay a white snake, weakened to its absolute limit, looking at Manda with a listless gaze.
It spoke with great difficulty: "Don't you think everything we just did was deeply meaningful?"
"We uncovered a secret that a thousand-year-old clan has kept hidden for a millennium."
"Orochimaru, I am warning you!" Fear flickered within Manda's serpentine pupils: "Next time! If you summon me before a monster like that again, I will kill you even if it means violating the Summoning Contract, even if we both perish together!"
That girl was simply not human—no, she shouldn't even be considered a living creature. It was too terrifying; merely looking directly at her made its soul tremble, and it had even glimpsed a terrifying phantom of a goddess who had bared a cruel, savage grin at it.
"Heh."
The weak white snake said nothing, only a strange smile appearing on its serpentine face.
This was the closest it had ever come to death.
It was also the closest it had ever come to the truth. It turned out that the limit of humanity was not Kage-level; a Kage-level powerhouse like itself was as fragile as an ant before her. She was undoubtedly a powerhouse beyond the Kage-level.
Perhaps the Warring States History did not exaggerate the strength of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara; it might have even vastly underestimated the power of those who transcended the Kage-level!
"The world is truly too interesting. Hyuga, Uchiha, Senju..."
