Ōtsutsuki Kaguya Starts Thinking

Uchiha Shingen had previously disliked the idea of making decisions through meetings.

Once he gradually experienced its benefits, he fell in love with it.

In youth, one doesn't appreciate the value of meetings and only regards arbitrary decision-making as a treasure.

As it turns out, behind every one-man show there's always a group of people sabotaging it, and they can even infiltrate perfectly, behaving exactly like the best paparazzi.

A bunch of old thugs, but every single one of them is a top-notch actor.

Sitting in front of Uchiha Shingen now is a complete idiot who thinks that a one-man show is efficient, yet he's completely convinced that he's the only one with no problems.

That doesn't seem quite right either, since Kaguya Otsutsuki rule was based on her being the only person in the world...

This woman is really too fierce.

He had no choice but to convey the correct perspective to the other party.

"Three basic principles." Uchiha Shingen held up three fingers. "First, let others say what they want to say. As the judge, don't participate in the debate casually, and don't express your own opinions. You only need to support one side. Second, if no one says what you want to hear, or not enough, don't reach a conclusion. Set it aside for another discussion, and then expand your camp on that side after the meeting. Third, you need to create an environment where if this matter isn't resolved, everything will be difficult to handle, and you can't let people find out or think that you did it. You have to guide others to do it."

Kaguya Otsutsuki listened, her expression growing increasingly impatient.

"Too much trouble!" she exclaimed. "My Infinite Tsukuyomi is much better!"

"Then I have no choice but to refuse." Uchiha Shingen was unmoved by her words. "I have no intention of turning my family into weapons."

"I won't touch your people." Kaguya Otsutsuki patted her chest magnanimously; since she stopped wearing that long robe, her figure had become more apparent.

Burning.

Her shot was so powerful and eye-catching.

True fanservice!

"It's not a matter of every little thing," Uchiha Shingen said, indicating that he was unaffected. "I can't play cards every day, can I? And you can't lose weight like this, can you?"

"Playing cards?" Kaguya Otsutsuki was puzzled. She didn't recall Uchiha Shingen having such a hobby. "Didn't you dislike casinos the most? What does this have to do with your talk of losing weight?"

"This... I was just using an analogy, don't worry about it," said Uchiha Shingen, clapping his hands to make sure that Kaguya Otsutsuki hadn't grasped the true meaning of "playing cards," which put him at ease.

It's all because it's too eye-catching; I couldn't help but get distracted.

"That's all. I only trust what I see. I understand you, but I also have to protect my family and my life," Uchiha Shingen concluded.

He was one of the few who spoke the truth so directly.

He can certainly understand Kaguya Otsutsuki, but if Kaguya Otsutsuki can't understand him, then they can't have a conversation.

Just imagine waking up to find a tree covered in zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) – what a chilling sight that would be!

That's absolutely unacceptable.

He still enjoys walking down the street and seeing all sorts of young women enjoying their happy lives—even though he can't be as carefree now, he can still feast his eyes on them.

Not to mention the various delicacies and places to drink wine and tea; a married man's happiness depends entirely on these.

Shouldn't we protect this kind of life?

Kaguya Otsutsuki shy, so he couldn't refuse her too directly. Instead, he could only explain his difficulties.

"I think I understand a little bit." Kaguya Otsutsuki listened carefully to Uchiha Shingen's words; she was a very serious person.

She understood what Uchiha Shingen needed.

Uchiha Shingen is very happy with his current living environment.

"However, so-called ninjas alone cannot protect everything we have now," Kaguya Otsutsuki said. "Before the true power of Chakra, Ninjutsu is utterly ineffective, and what you cherish will ultimately be lost."

"But Ninjutsu has changed a lot in the last few decades, hasn't it?" Uchiha Shingen said. "Ninjutsu arose from the needs of combat between people, so there's a basis for my statement that ninjas can achieve effects surpassing White Zetsu."

In the original timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War, it's fair to say that if it weren't for a group of super-powerful tools Impure World Reincarnation, the Allied Shinobi Forces would have finished the battle in half a day at most with just those 100,000 White Zetsu.

Their only advantage over ninjas lies in their ability to conceal themselves and absorb Chakra.

Uchiha Shingen believed that Kaguya Otsutsuki developed this biological weapon most likely to deplete the enemy's Chakra and replenish Chakra own.

"Organizing people with independent consciousness is indeed much more troublesome than White Zetsu, but their growth potential and creativity are also unmatched by White Zetsu. Kaguya, your enemy is also long-term. The monotonous White Zetsu are essentially still first-time killers." Uchiha Shingen patiently analyzed for Kaguya Otsutsuki, "Tactically, they can't help you much, and when facing the enemy, the margin for error is very small."

"And what about ninjas? White Zetsu doesn't truly die, but when a human dies, they're dead," Kaguya Otsutsuki said. "They'll only gain more sorrow and fear from it, and fear will render them powerless to resist."

"It's alright," Uchiha Shingen said confidently. "There are Impure World Reincarnation now."

Kaguya Otsutsuki choked.

Although she had been imprisoned in the sphere for so many years, she still knew a great deal about the world's people's concept of death.

What's more terrifying than death is that even in death, there is no peace.

This concept is not possessed by the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Due to their digital reincarnation, the Ōtsutsuki Clan does not experience true death. Kaguya Otsutsuki herself is truly immortal; she can only be sealed, not destroyed.

Because of their immortality and eternal life, no Ōtsutsuki Clan could comprehend this fear of death, nor could they understand humanity's strong aversion to the inability to find peace after death.

But not understanding is one thing, knowing is another.

Kaguya Otsutsuki had no idea why Uchiha Shingen could say that so confidently.

Who exactly is the villain?

"Special circumstances require special handling; everyone will understand." Uchiha Shingen noticed her confusion and clenched his fist with great authority. "The Will of Fire is very powerful."

"... I will consider it."

Kaguya Otsutsuki felt that she hadn't observed Uchiha Shingen enough.

She decided to continue observing and, at the same time, study the three principles that Uchiha Shingen had mentioned.

At the same time, she decided to go find Black Zetsu.

She might learn about another side of Uchiha Shingen from Black Zetsu.

"That's wonderful that you're willing to consider it," Uchiha Shingen sighed, looking quite relieved, his tone returning to normal. "Then I won't bother you any longer today, I'll be going now."

After saying that, his figure disappeared from the spiritual world.

For the first time Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't immediately start watching the show; instead, she remained seated on the sofa, deep in thought.

As an Ōtsutsuki Clan, Kaguya Otsutsuki's life was far from colorful in the eyes of the people of this world; it could be described as dull.

Kaguya Otsutsuki Uchiha Shingen about one thing: she truly cherished this world.

As things stand, Uchiha Shingen remains her best option.

The so-called Ten-Tails is her.

To be more specific, only someone who can communicate with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path can break its seal.

Because the Ten-Tails in mythology is Kaguya Otsutsuki, but Kaguya Otsutsuki is an incomplete Ten-Tails.

She is the consciousness of the Ten-Tails, and the God Tree is the power of the Ten-Tails.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, as the shell of the Ten-Tails, will regain its power as the Ten-Tails once the Nine Tailed Beasts are retrieved and combined, which is the God Tree.

In Black Zetsu 'Eye of the Moon Plan, a person with the Rinnegan Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, gathered the Nine Tailed Beasts, and became the "Ten-Tails Jinchuriki." He then used the Chakra collected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi to break the seal of the Sage of Six Paths, thus reuniting Kaguya Otsutsuki's "consciousness" and "power" into one.

This plan did not consider the possibility that someone might obtain Kaguya Otsutsuki's power and thus acquire the Rinnegan by establishing a direct spiritual connection with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Once you possess this, you only need to control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to gather the Chakra of the Nine Tailed Beasts, and Kaguya Otsutsuki's consciousness can directly break free from the seal.

Through these Rinnegan, the power of the Ten-Tails will naturally attract consciousness back.

If one does not have the Rinnegan obtained from Kaguya Otsutsuki, then one must incorporate the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path into one's body to become Jinchūriki, using oneself as a "bridge".

In other words, this Ten-Tails is not the same as the Ten-Tails. The "Ten-Tails Jinchuriki" in the Eye of the Moon Plan is actually the Jinchūriki of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

But now, there is Uchiha Shingen.

If Uchiha Shingen is willing to help, breaking free from the seal will be a very smooth and risk-free process for Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Eye of the Moon is different from Infinite Tsukuyomi; the latter is a technique, while the former is a deceptive scheme.

Its essence was a plan to deceive future generations in order to free Kaguya Otsutsuki. Theoretically speaking, with such a good "channel" as Uchiha Shingen, Kaguya Otsutsuki could have discussed with Black Zetsu and improved the plan by using a different approach.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki never went to find Black Zetsu.

During her interactions with Uchiha Shingen, Kaguya Otsutsuki vaguely sensed that her past actions might have been somewhat problematic; otherwise, there would be no way to explain why she would be betrayed by her own child.

The children were so well-behaved and adorable when they were little; I loved them dearly.

She sat on the sofa for a long time.

Meanwhile, outside, Uchiha Shingen had already left his home and headed towards Uchiha Setsuna's house.

Even Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't have a suitable technique to prolong Uchiha Setsuna's life, so there really wasn't one.

Even if we go to do research at the last minute, we won't be able to catch up.

Uchiha Shingen was also feeling uneasy, knowing that Uchiha Setsuna wouldn't be able to get through this.

Upon entering Uchiha Setsuna's house, he first went to look around the backyard.

Only Uchiha Madara was sitting in the courtyard.

"You're back?" Uchiha Madara glanced at him. "Uchiha Setsuna wasn't feeling well, so I sent him back to rest."

"Alright, then I'll go check on Elder Uchiha Setsuna." Uchiha Shingen nodded and turned to leave.

He stopped halfway there and looked at Uchiha Madara.

"Clan Chief Ban, is it Uchiha Setsuna Elder Setsuna is no longer here that you are also planning to leave?"

Now that things have come to this, he can just ask directly.

Uchiha Madara answered directly and without any pretense.

"You know perfectly well what I'm asking." He scoffed. "Go check on Uchiha Setsuna."

"Okay." Uchiha Shingen nodded and went back into the house.

He entered Uchiha Setsuna's bedroom, and a strong Yakumi filled his nostrils.

Uchiha Setsuna lay on the bed, having just taken his medicine, and was already asleep, appearing to be doing alright.

A medical-nin from the Hyuga Clan, who had been invited to the hospital, was examining him.

Uchiha Shingen waited quietly for him to finish the examination.

After a while, the medical-nin stopped what he was doing and began to pack up his things.

"How is the elder?" Uchiha Shingen asked.

"Shingen, you'll probably need to start preparing," the medical-nin replied. "If things go as quickly as tonight."

"Didn't you say it would take several more days?" Uchiha Shingen didn't mean to criticize; medical-nin and doctors are not the same.

Ironically, for ninjas, proper medical skills were less effective than Medical Ninjutsu.

"His health is deteriorating too quickly." The medical-nin shook his head. "I'll go report to Chief Fugaku first... sigh..."

Uchiha Setsuna was also quite famous in the Hyuga Clan.

This Hyuga Clan ninja was also filled with regret.

The Uchiha Clan is strong, but most of them don't live long. Uchiha Setsuna's age is already considered quite old for the Uchiha Clan.

"I understand, thank you."

After the Hyuga Clan the Hyuga ninja out, Uchiha Shingen returned to his bedroom and sat down on a stool by the bed.

On the bed, Uchiha Setsuna's breathing became even.

Whether she can open her eyes again after closing them is truly unknown.

Despite his advanced age, remnants of his former appearance can still be faintly discerned on his weathered face.

Decades have passed, like a dream.

Before anyone knew it, Uchiha Madara had also appeared in the bedroom.

Uchiha Shingen realized that Uchiha Setsuna truly wouldn't survive the day.

Uchiha Madara, known as the embodiment of power, was also a master of Medical Ninjutsu. Having spent so much time with him, he probably knew Uchiha Setsuna's physical condition better than anyone else.

"Uchiha Setsuna had more or less guessed what I was planning to do, but he didn't ask, and I didn't tell him either." Uchiha Madara looked at Uchiha Setsuna on the bed. "He did very well. The reason I didn't take him under my wing was because he was too weak and too impulsive."

Did you say these things to him?
