Kaguya Looks Absolutely Beautiful When She Smiles / Know Yourself and Your Enemy, and You'll Be Less Likely to Crack

On the Lunar Ōtsutsuki's primary purpose was likely replaced by guarding Kaguya.

Then, when it came Hyuga Clan, it was further replaced with a protective Byakugan.

It's natural that it's been criticized. From the perspective of protecting those Byakugan, the effectiveness of this system is too excessive, making it hard not to suspect that it's designed to acquire special privileges.

If it weren't for the strict rule that those born earlier belong to the Main Family and those born later belong to the branch family, it probably wouldn't have been able to continue long ago.

At this moment, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was in a state of inner conflict.

As an elegant Ōtsutsuki Clan, he underwent rigorous training and never uttered vulgarities.

Unless you can't help it.

Kaguya Otsutsuki mentioned the main family, he couldn't help but get a little carried away.

He still hasn't seen a trace of the master's family!

Originally, his initial plan was to use Jigen as a stepping stone, and then deal with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and start the process again once the main family arrived.

As a result, they waited for a whole thousand years.

The key point is that a thousand years have passed and not a single hair has been seen. Jigen's body has already been modified to its limit. If it is modified any further... then he might as well find a girl and have a child.

So, did you two elope to have a baby on the way here!?

How far is this road that it took you so long to run!?

If someone from his family were to appear before him now, he would unleash all the swear words he had accumulated over the past thousand years onto that person's face.

You guys didn't even show up after all the fish were killed!

"Not bad, Kaguya Otsutsuki, it's not too late for you to atone for your sins." Ōtsutsuki Isshiki straightened his clothes and said.

There's nothing I can do; I can't beat this woman now.

Although she lost the Ten-Tails, the incredibly powerful Chakra Fruit allowed Kaguya Otsutsuki to evolve to a level comparable to her main family.

Even at his peak, he might not have been able to defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Cultivation is nonexistent in the lives of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

They are born with powerful Chakra and abilities, and their way of increasing their power has always been by planting trees and eating fruit.

As the saying goes, you reap what you sow.

They travel between different worlds, sowing magical seeds in each world, and reaping the fruits of their labor through their own efforts.

Cultivation is far too low-level and inefficient. The God Tree, a Chakra bio-weapon technology, is far more effective than any form of cultivation if you can make even a small breakthrough.

After straightening his clothes, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki couldn't help but touch his face.

That despicable native, he hit so hard, and he even slapped me in the face!

Seeing her "old friend's" action, Kaguya Otsutsuki almost burst out laughing.

She and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki never got along, even after they teamed up according to their clan's orders.

From the very beginning, Kaguya Otsutsuki had no intention of feeding herself to the Ten-Tails.

Although her position is "Guardian," Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is the "Guarded One."

The Ōtsutsuki Clan has no sense of kinship. Their dream is to continuously evolve until they become true gods. They are like emotionless machines, striving towards this goal.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's crime was not that she Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, but that she secretly ate the Chakra Fruit.

"So, the main family hasn't arrived yet." Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded. "Isshiki, do you think the main family will help you once they arrive?"

"Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, going against the main family is incredibly foolish. Have you been spending too much time with inferior beings?" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki told himself not to panic.

Normally, if he were to be resurrected in a vessel, all the wedges would disappear—in the wedge mechanism, if one is activated, the others will disappear, this is to ensure the uniqueness of each Ōtsutsuki Clan.

But things went a little wrong with Jigen —he was killed instantly by Chibaku Tensei.

Chibaku Tensei is a powerful Sealing Jutsu used to seal large creatures, but Jigen's power comes entirely from Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, making him a weakling himself.

The sealing effect of the Chibaku Tensei forced Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's consciousness back into his body, leaving only an empty shell of Jigen, who immediately perished.

At that time, all Ōtsutsuki Isshiki could do was use this body to unleash his true form.

This is equivalent to a bug in the wedge mechanism; it's that a container disappears, rather than one of the wedges taking effect.

But he still didn't live long, as his current body was still an expansion of Jigen's body and would eventually collapse.

But he still had a wedge in his hand, so he felt he didn't need to panic too much.

He decided to have a serious talk with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Chapter Twenty-Six: Kaguya's Smile is Absolutely Beautiful

"Isshiki." Kaguya Otsutsuki sat down on the Truth-Seeking Orb, one hand resting on her knee. "So you can negotiate too."

Uchiha Shingen looked at him and felt a sense of familiarity.

Oh right, he was just as smug when he found the calligraphy hidden by Fugaku.

In short, the advantage is on my side, so I can relax.

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's expression, however, was not very pleasant.

Even after a thousand years, this woman is still detestable.

He and Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't get along, and that was the case even before they teamed up. He didn't know why the idiots from his own clan would make him team up with this stinky woman.

Although Kaguya Otsutsuki was indeed a talented woman, because of her weak physique, she developed techniques such as the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack and Rabbit Hair Needle, and even created the All-Killing Ash Bones, a technique that even Ōtsutsuki Clan could not withstand.

But her personality is really awful!

And this woman is incredibly vain.

Despite being a "guardian," she's anything but content with her role; she's been the most unruly person on this planet.

Plant trees, that's all. What business is it of yours whether the locals cause trouble or not?

That's bullshit! What impact could a bunch of primitive creatures who don't even know Chakra have on the God Tree if they were just trying to protect God Tree peaceful growth? It's just that you're a repressed pervert who wants to enjoy being fawned over!

And if you're going to enjoy it, then enjoy it! Why pretend you think being a native is too troublesome?

The thought that he had been tricked by this kind of woman Ōtsutsuki Isshiki feel particularly uncomfortable.

"I'm being serious with you, Kaguya Otsutsuki." Ōtsutsuki Isshiki said coldly, "Betraying our clan is not the end, it's just the beginning. You will be Ōtsutsuki Clan until the day you die."

"I am just me, Isshiki, so don't pretend in front of me." Kaguya Otsutsuki said she had never felt so good since she was born.

After all, from the very first day she met Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, she had been thinking that one day this arrogant guy would be groveling at her feet.

Although I tricked him back then, I didn't get the satisfaction I wanted.

Even though Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had been tricked by her and lost half his body, he still had that grumpy expression before he ran away.

"Isshiki, if you are willing to be my protector, I can spare your life." Kaguya Otsutsuki seemed unable to contain herself. "After all, we've known each other for so long, and I don't want you to lose your life."

"Guardians?" Ōtsutsuki Isshiki laughed in anger. "You think you can fool the main clan by continuing to cultivate the God Tree? Even if you've lost the Ten-Tails now, they can still tell whether you've eaten Chakra Fruit just by seeing you. Every fruit is recorded in the main clan, and the main clan has never bestowed a fruit upon you."

"Yes...they've never given them any." Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded. "But aren't you the same? You've never actually eaten a complete Chakra Fruit. The main family is indeed powerful, but they only possess the technology to process the fruits. And only they have the Ten-Tails. But when someone becomes a god, will they allow others to continue evolving?"

"That won't happen," said Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. "Don't use your low-level thinking to question the dreams of our clan."

Sigh, this woman may have a terrible personality, but what she said actually makes a lot of sense...

Especially since no one from the Ōtsutsuki Isshiki felt that the main clan members were useless people who were just hogging resources and doing nothing.

He even suspected that those people had actually arrived long ago, just waiting for him and Kaguya Otsutsuki to fight each other, so they could reap the benefits.

Thinking about it carefully, their clan doesn't really care about feelings, so they wouldn't feel any guilt about doing such shameless things.

After all, the family tradition is to do everything except human affairs, with only results in mind.

However, no matter how reasonable the argument may be, it cannot change one fact.

Both he and Kaguya Otsutsuki wanted the other dead.

To call him a guardian is just a joke.

"It seems we have nothing to discuss." Ōtsutsuki Isshiki glanced at Kaguya Otsutsuki, then at Uchiha Shingen. "Are you coming by yourself, or bringing your pet with you?"

Come on, you filthy woman! Come at me head-on!

In his right eye, the golden patterns seemed to be stirring restlessly.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was dissatisfied; that stinky Isshiki wouldn't beg for mercy and was even putting on airs.

The Truth-Seeking Orb in the sky began to change once again.

After consuming the Chakra Fruit and completing her evolution, Kaguya Otsutsuki gained new unique abilities: "Amenominaka" and "Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball".

This further confirmed to her that her decision was correct.

The main clan wouldn't be so generous as to directly distribute Chakra Fruit to its members. They would usually only give the processed products—which are best consumed directly by the individual and yield the greatest benefit. However, from the perspective of maximizing the effects of the Chakra Fruit, it is extremely wasteful.

But it was precisely because she ate the fruit directly that she possessed such powerful abilities.

The side effect was gaining two extremely filial sons.

Now that she has lost the Ten-Tails 'Chakra, she can no longer fully use these two abilities, but not completely, not that she can't use them at all.

Even without the "Expansive Truth-Seeking Ball," she can still use the Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb and transform it into any shape she desires.

While it may not be able to utilize all the derivative spaces, the basic ability of "Amenominaka" to weave spaces remains unaffected.

Boom--!

The roar resounded through the sky, shook the earth, and churned the sea of clouds.

Having accepted Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's "invitation," Kaguya Otsutsuki made her move.

From beneath her feet, the Truth-Seeking Orb, resembling a large blanket, separated into small black spheres, which began to bombard Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

The Tailed Beast Ball relies on a method similar to that of explosives on Blue Star, releasing heat and generating high temperature and pressure.

Although the Truth-Seeking Orb can also explode, its effect is more like annihilation, returning everything to nothingness.

The Truth-Seeking Orb that separated instantly destroyed everything in front of Kaguya Otsutsuki, turning the world into black and white.

The only color came from the giant hand she formed with the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

While launching her attack with Truth-Seeking Orb, she also pulled Uchiha Shingen onto her "Arabian Flying Carpet".

Uchiha Shingen's eyes were filled with envy.

Truth-Seeking Orb Balls are exclusive to Six Paths level cultivators. Not only are they incredibly powerful and capable of transforming into anything, but they also nullify all Ninjutsu, except for Yin-Yang Release.

Chakra rods and Truth-Seeking Orb are completely incomparable. If it weren't for his Ninigi-no-Mikoto skill, which allows him to fight monsters much stronger than himself, he would be incredibly jealous.

Women who have eaten the Chakra Fruit are incredibly powerful; in an instant, it's as if they've wiped out all the pixels in the world.

Looking at the desolate, barren land around him, Uchiha Shingen knew that if he didn't properly farm the Deep Forest Emergence later, he would be in for a world of trouble during the budget meeting.

Although he's only been in office for less than a month, he's a seasoned Hokage. Between Chakra and saving money, he chooses saving money!

"Where is he? Was he killed?" Uchiha Shingen looked at the empty land and sky in front of him, but he didn't see Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

"It's not that easy to die." Kaguya Otsutsuki had already activated her Byakugan; once her tendons burst, there was no one she couldn't see.

Then she saw it.

The Ōtsutsuki Isshiki Sukunahikona had dodged the attack, was now fleeing.

Kaguya Otsutsuki smiled.

This smile may not be her most beautiful, but it is certainly the most genuine, joyful, and authentic one she has ever shown since birth.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Knowing Yourself and Your Enemy Makes You Easier to Break Through Their Defenses

Both Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and Kaguya Otsutsuki were familiar with each other's abilities, but Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was able to surpass Kaguya Otsutsuki and become the "Guardian" because his abilities were stronger.

Sukunahikona and Daikokuten were able to completely counter Kaguya Otsutsuki's most lethal attack, the All-Killing Ash Bones. As for the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, although it was very powerful, it ultimately belonged to the category of Taijutsu.

At his peak, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's attitude towards the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was "whatever."

Unfortunately, he is currently in a disabled state. Although Kaguya Otsutsuki is not exactly the original form, she lacks nothing except the Ten-Tails.

Sukunahikona is indeed a divine skill, capable of shrinking non-living matter, and changing its mass while shrinking its volume. When combined with Daikokuten, this skill forms the Absolute Defense of Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, which was a perfect counter to the mage-type Kaguya Otsutsuki back then.

But that was back then, and even Sukunahikona was not without weaknesses.
