Kaguya's Transformation

[Is this guy really okay...?]

On the Hokage Rock, Uchiha Shingen, whose microphone had been disconnected, couldn't help but think this.

He has always been careful to protect his mental world, and after realizing the existence of Kaguya Otsutsuki, he strengthened it even further. Now, when facing Kaguya Otsutsuki, he can decide what to open up and what not to open up.

He didn't rely on brute force—no amount of brute force could outmaneuver Kaguya —but on a completely different approach from the Hokage world.

Illusion is a skill, but when it comes to defending against your own genjutsu, the philosophy in the Hokage world is: I won't fall for your genjutsu.

If you accept the challenge, you have to tough it out; if you can't handle it, you'll have to rely on your teammates.

But not every teammate is like Ōnoki; there are many more like Mizuki.

That's not good.

The all-powerful chakra has a function of being quantified, which ninjas have no concept of, but the Ōtsutsuki Clan are used to.

However, the Otsutsuki clearly don't use computers; their data is packaged in a single, bulk bundle.

Standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, Uchiha Shingen successfully constructed his own spiritual world.

To put it simply, it's like dividing a plate.

This way, the "system" won't crash easily.

As long as you can't access his "system drive," no one can put him under an illusion.

When Uchiha Shisui sparred with him, he did just that.

But compared to Kaguya Otsutsuki, Shisui wasn't even a little brother.

Fortunately, Kaguya Otsutsuki was easier to talk to than he had expected, and he managed to keep her calm for the time being by using his sense of humor.

But he wouldn't let his guard down; this was a dangerous figure from a thousand years ago who played The Matrix.

He resolutely hid the Matrix trilogy and related works; he dared not let Kaguya Otsutsuki see such films.

As for telling Kaguya Otsutsuki about the Pure Land and Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the reason is even simpler.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki is probably a good person, but he may not be the "good person" he is.

He wouldn't sacrifice himself for anyone outside his family and friends. If the price of protecting his family and friends was the death of everyone else in the world, he would choose to do it!

His heart is too small; it can only hold so few people.

So, I'm sorry, Xiao Liu!

Moreover, this little Liu's intelligence is almost as much as that of Kaguya Otsutsuki!

He at least knew what Infinite Tsukuyomi was, but he couldn't understand Pure Land.

Regarding Kaguya Otsutsuki, it was only her side of the story; he still trusted his own eyes and ears. And the current Kaguya Otsutsuki looked completely different from the one in the manga.

In the manga, Kaguya Otsutsuki she appears. Since they're enemies, there's nothing more to say about them fighting as soon as they meet.

However, the Kaguya Otsutsuki he knew, although she made no secret of her enjoyment of hanging people from the beginning, was not the kind of person who would criticize anyone she met. According to his probing, they were capable of communicating.

He had absolutely no reason to take sides from the beginning.

Besides, a mother and son should have a good talk; he's a very considerate person.

After going through everything in his mind and finding nothing missing, Uchiha Shingen continued to process the chakra.

Time ticked by, and as the sun began to set, Uchiha Shingen finally stood up from the Hokage Rock.

Then he activated the Flying Thunder God.

The only downside to learning the Flying Thunder God Technique is that it makes people lazy.

But now, there are two living people in Konoha who can use the Flying Thunder God Technique: Uchiha Shingen has two wives, and Namikaze Minato's wife is so good that one is worth two. With such virtuous wives, they have perfectly made up for this deficiency.

Using the Flying Thunder God Uchiha Shingen instantly arrived at his living room. He bumped into Pakura, who was returning from grocery shopping, while Yosuke he was, was carrying the shopping basket for his mother.

Uchiha Shingen was very pleased that Yosuke was a filial son. He kissed his wife, hugged his son, and also asked about his son's academic progress.

Uchiha Madara is genuinely teaching Yosuke. Although we don't know what he's up to, we might as well take advantage of such a top-tier teacher.

He wanted to patronize a prostitute back then but couldn't, but now that his son has, it can be considered that one of his regrets has been fulfilled.

From Yosuke's words, Uchiha Shingen discovered that Uchiha Madara's training method was quite similar to the training method he had when he was a child in this cycle—first developing the body's energy.

Uchiha Madara, he trained all the way up to Yin-Yang Release through sheer hard work.

His body energy development tutorial is absolutely the most solid one of its kind in contemporary times.

It seems that Uchiha Madara's teaching of Yosuke was truly heartfelt.

"Listen to Grandpa Madara carefully; you can't slack off in your training," Uchiha Shingen admonished.

He trusted Yosuke completely, but he still had to say what needed to be said.

Uchiha Yosuke nodded seriously, indicating that he never slacked off.

He just didn't understand why he had to call him grandpa.

Is it because there are seams on my face?

Uchiha Shingen didn't pay much attention to his son's doubts. After giving him his instructions, he chatted with Pakura for a while, telling her about recent events and his deductions.

The Mangekyō Sharingan is important, but it might very well become a decoy.

Because this eye will eventually return to the Uchiha Clan, Hatake Kakashi had already made a promise to return the eye after his death.

It takes a long time, but it's not unacceptable for the Uchiha Clan; ninja clans are generally quite tolerant of long periods of time.

Unlike Sakurako, Pakura is an industry veteran; she's the only one in the family who can discuss this with Uchiha Shingen.

As a former Sand Ninja, Pakura also has her own unique perspective on the internal power struggles within Leaf Village.

"Having Uchiha Itachi go would be a safer option; he's truly inherited Shisui's skills, only lacking the Mangekyo Sharingan," Pakura said. "This is definitely the only choice that both sides can accept, but we're worried about things getting out of control."

"We'll be watching," Uchiha Shingen said.

What Pakura meant by "out of control" is clear to those who know.

Actually, that shouldn't be called out of control; it should be called Itachi's sudden whim.

This is someone even the Will of Fire would dare to say he can't mess with. Although he's turned his back on course now, his Will of Fire seems to have become even more magical.

While others might think he's out of control, he doesn't seem to think so himself.

"I'm going back to my room to prepare. I won't be eating at home tonight. I have an appointment with the clan leader and the others to meet with a few relevant people tonight," said Uchiha Shingen.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll take care of things at home." Pakura nodded, then thought for a moment and added, "But you still need to be careful, Uchiha Madara will probably be there to watch."

"Did he say that?"

"He told Yosuke that he wanted to see the current level of the Uchiha Clan." Pakura also found this quite amazing; Uchiha Madara's attitude towards Yosuke was rather surreal.

"Alright then, although I don't think he necessarily wants to see this..." Uchiha Shingen was having a bit of a headache. What if this old man improvised something on the spot? That would be quite a show.

However, no one could control Uchiha Madara.

After discussing the matter for a while longer, Uchiha Shingen returned to his room.

He first opened the "file" sent by Kaguya Otsutsuki.

You won't believe it until you see it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

It's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!

He breathed a sigh of relief after looking at it carefully once.

As expected, things weren't that good; this is a degraded version.

The true Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack requires the Byakugan of Kaguya Otsutsuki's caliber to master, but even if an Uchiha Clan manages to acquire the Rinnegan, they cannot achieve that level of insight.

While honing chakra to its ultimate level is one aspect, perfectly controlling chakra and making fine adjustments at any time by utilizing the Byakugan's terrifying insight is also a necessary condition.

Kaguya Otsutsuki only provided the most basic methods for cultivating chakra.

With this method, although Uchiha Shingen could not use the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, he could still achieve the highest output of Senju Hashirama in the day.

Uchiha Madara Senju Hashirama his lifetime and Madara Uchiha after his resurrection in the original timeline were the strongest beings below the Six Paths level.

To be fair, as the Hagoromo of this generation, Sasuke and Naruto really couldn't beat these two before they reached the Six Paths level.

I haven't even beaten an Impure World Reincarnation of it.

However, after Uchiha Shingen mastered it, it should be called Sage Art: Susanoo: True Several Thousand Hands: Top Transformed Buddha.

He's one step closer to the peak.

It's really satisfying to latch onto someone's coattails.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was indeed much more generous than Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

"Thanks, Kaguya." He sincerely sent a thank-you message to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

In the spiritual world, Kaguya Otsutsuki not only lay in bed, but she also conjured up a bag of potato chips.

This thing has no taste, since she's never actually eaten it. However, in Uchiha Shingen's memory, she thought it was quite addictive to bite into.

Upon hearing Uchiha Shingen initiate the call, Kaguya Otsutsuki raised an eyebrow.

She felt the acknowledgments were a bit too simple and lacked substance.

However, considering this was only a one-time occurrence, she felt she could reluctantly accept it.

At least Uchiha Shingen kept his word and replied as soon as he finished his work, which was considered timely feedback.

"Hmm." Kaguya Otsutsuki's response was quite arrogant. "I understand. Don't bother me with such trivial matters."

The main problem is that she was watching a really interesting movie and was annoyed to be interrupted.

The people here also eat fruits, but she felt that they couldn't compare to the Chakra Fruit cultivated by the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

But people are still quite interesting.

They're much more interesting than the people in this world.

She was a little obsessed with the group of guys called "Celestial Dragons" and wanted to unleash a full combo of Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

Although she hangs people on trees, she also grants those on the trees the best dreams.

After all, as someone who considers herself truly noble, exploiting the lower Ōtsutsuki Clan doesn't actually give her any sense of accomplishment, but showing mercy is a nice way to relax.

The world back then was very primitive and boring.

The history of the Rabbit Goddess originates from this.

In reality, Uchiha Shingen was speechless upon hearing Kaguya Otsutsuki's response.

If I don't say anything, you'll have a problem with it.

I told you, but you still have objections.

Ah... women!

Then he took out his notebook and wrote down another sentence, "When Kaguya sends a red envelope, you must respond with a thank you message; otherwise, it will be invalid."

It's unclear whether this is Kaguya Otsutsuki's original personality, but from Uchiha Shingen's perspective, Kaguya Otsutsuki seems to be showing more and more of a human side.

After finishing writing, he put the notebook back in his inner pocket.

This page already contains several pages of notes, all about things to be aware of when communicating with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

What a disgrace, he hasn't taken notes in years.

After putting away his notebook and patting his chest, Uchiha Shingen glanced at the sky and figured it was about time. He then used the Flying Thunder God to instantly teleport to the shopping district once more.

Leaf Village's nightlife has begun.

The commercial street was brightly lit. The commercial street in the North District was the first building area to resume operation. After all, this was the largest source of Leaf Village's commercial tax and the most high-end consumer venues were located here.

For example, the restaurant where the Uchiha Clan booked a private room has ties to the Sarutobi Clan and is the most upscale restaurant under that clan.

However, the development loan was obtained at a preferential rate through the Uchiha Clan.

Therefore, Uchiha Shingen could enjoy the privately supplied sake that the Sarutobi Clan reserved for a select few VIPs.

As the one who initiated the banquet, Uchiha Shingen was the first to arrive.

He didn't wait long in the private room before Namikaze Minato and his wife arrived.
