We Didn't Even Get to See a God's Butt

Outside the village, Uchiha Itachi might be used to scare children into eating and sleeping, but inside the village, ordinary people still liked him very much.

I think he's a gentle, big boy.

As for the nickname "Killer Ghost" circulating outside, most villagers believe it's malicious slander and don't believe it.

In terms of the villagers' friendliness, Uchiha Itachi, as a Hokage candidate, did a very good job. What he needed to improve was his image among the Jonin Leaf Village.

The Jonin didn't dislike him, but they found talking to him exhausting.

When Uchiha Shingen and his group arrived at the restaurant entrance, Baki and the Sand Ninja were already waiting, following the usual routine.

Gaara was no exception; although he didn't strike his signature pose, it was still quite rare for this rebellious little panda.

At least Temari and Kankuro rarely see Gaara so quiet and well-behaved.

It's as if he's turned back into the younger brother he used to be when he was little, someone he could talk to and play with about anything.

However, a glance is all it takes to know that this is just an illusion.

"Lord Hokage!" Baki greeted Uchiha Shingen eagerly from afar, "Please, I must treat you to today's meal."

"What are you saying?" Uchiha Shingen laughed. "When we get to Leaf Village, there's no reason for you to pay for anything. Otherwise, when I see the Kazekage again, where will I put my face as Hokage? You didn't make me spend any money back in Sunagakure either."

"Yes, yes," Baki said with a smile, "Then I'll listen to you."

Uchiha Shingen shook hands with him with satisfaction, as a sign of his appreciation.

I was a bit too full from drinking tea during the day and forgot to fight Flying Thunder God. It's not too late to catch up now.

Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Leaf Village will be eliminated immediately. Clothes can be changed, but only Orochimaru can change his skin.

Baki caught a glimpse of the Flying Thunder God Seal flashing across his hand out of the corner of his eye, and he felt completely relieved.

The fact that Uchiha Shingen wouldn't use the Flying Thunder God Seal on him meant he didn't truly trust him, and that feeling was terrible.

While he was showering at the hotel, he examined the old clothes over and over, looking at the areas where Uchiha Shingen had patted him, but he couldn't find anything amiss. His heart sank immediately.

"Come on, everyone, don't just stand there, let's go inside." Uchiha Shingen waved enthusiastically to the group of Sand Ninja and led them into the restaurant.

The restaurant owner was already waiting in the lobby with a smile on his face, and he enthusiastically led everyone upstairs to the only private room on the best floor.

That floor was specially designed for Uchiha Shingen and was not used to receive other people.

Uchiha Shingen wouldn't say anything about this kind of flattery.

After all, he was promoting this boss with the intention of making him the leader of Leaf Village's merchants. One cannot overestimate a businessman's integrity; one needs an insider to keep an eye on things.

Under the cover of night, Hidden Leaf Village, as always, is immersed in a peaceful and happy life.

The deep sky was serene and lonely, with a few scattered stars twinkling dimly in the sky.

When the altitude jumps to over a thousand miles, this is already the outer space of the Hokage world.

It's even more desolate here, surrounded by darkness.

The closest celestial bodies, apart from the half of the planet below that is in shadow, are only the Moon, which hangs alone in another direction.

Without the light of the stars, it looked very eerie.

Suddenly, something seemed to flash in the depths of the distant darkness.

After a while, suddenly, a black hole appeared in the desolate space between the two celestial bodies.

Literally, it means a dark "hole".

In the blink of an eye, the black hole disappeared.

Three humanoid beings were already floating in this space, looking down at the ground beneath their feet.

But the next moment, they looked towards the moon.

Chapter 104 Not even a glimpse of the gods' backsides

The three humanoid beings standing silently in outer space gazed at the moon for a long time. Suddenly, one of them drifted a short distance away without any warning.

"It's the traitor's Chakra, and there's only one."

It spoke, but judging from its posture, it was looking down at the planet and the earth below.

As for why we can still talk in this godforsaken place...

In the Chakra, don't worry about such details, or you'll go bald.

"This celestial body seems a bit strange, should we go take a look?"

"A pile of rocks isn't very interesting. Compared to this, I thought there were only traitors, but it turns out there are also losers."

This time, it was two other creatures that spoke.

"It's too dark, let's move to another spot." The creature in front said, and the creature behind chuckled, waving a stick-like object. The black hole reappeared in front of them and continued to expand, enveloping them completely.

The next moment, they were spat out from the other side of the planet.

In the light transmitted from distant stars, their appearance finally became clear.

There are three people.

Every physical feature of their bodies points to one fact—they are Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Not the Lunar Ōtsutsuki, but the real Ōtsutsuki Clan, just like Ōtsutsuki Isshiki.

The difference is that they are not in a state of barely surviving.

The enemy that Kaguya Otsutsuki feared has finally appeared here after a thousand years.

Of course, a thousand years is only in the context of this planet.

"There's no Chakra left here."

Of the three Ōtsutsuki Clan, the one who appeared to be the leader was the most slender.

"Momoshiki, could it be that the Ten-Tails hasn't been implanted yet?" asked the most burly of the three.

Actually, he shouldn't just be called burly; he should be described as burly like a big fat man.

"Of course we planted it. We're all familiar with that powerful Chakra, aren't we?"

The Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki exclaimed in admiration.

"To have such abundant energy after bearing just one fruit, this planet is extraordinary. That guy, Isshiki, has struck gold."

"But now, it belongs to you, Lord Momoshiki."

The chubby guy immediately started flattering him.

In return, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki let out a hearty laugh.

"Hey, enough with the laughter, let's get down to business."

Another person suddenly said out of the blue.

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's laughter abruptly stopped.

He turned around and took a deep look at another member of his clan.

The three of them are not actually part of the same group.

Although they were both dispatched by the same clan, it was Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki who was his companion and his protector.

As for Urashiki Ōtsutsuki right now...

The concept of kinship doesn't exist in Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's mind.

How could gods indulge in such useless emotions like lower beings?

Moreover, as a member of the same clan, he knew very well that there could only be one true god in the end.

"Yes, it's time to get down to business." Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki seemed to have a double meaning.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki) body seemed to have shifted slightly, intentionally or unintentionally, to a position suitable for a friendly exchange.

The word "friendship" might be superfluous, but when it comes to breaking through barriers, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki is always serious.

But Urashiki Ōtsutsuki seemed oblivious to what he was saying, and also seemed to miss Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, easily-ending gesture. He slung his fishing rod over his shoulder and asked with great interest, "Momoshiki, you're the leader, so you tell me, what's the plan?"

The tense atmosphere in the three-person room disappeared.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki still had that goofy look.

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's smile was quite meaningful.

Although he doesn't value kinship, Urashiki is no simple man. As fellow members of the same clan, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki doesn't want to easily turn against him.

After all, the Ōtsutsuki Clan is divided into the main family, the Main Family, and the branch family, and the way they handle deaths is different for each branch family.

When the Ōtsutsuki Clan had branched out, died, the main branch wouldn't even ask about it.

The Ōtsutsuki Clan of the Main Family is dead. If it wasn't done by an outsider, the main branch can pretend they don't know.

But if someone from the family dies, there will definitely be an investigation, which is troublesome.

Therefore, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki wanted to tear Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's mouth apart more than once, but he never turned against him.

But that didn't stop him from getting rid of the person; at least for now, he wouldn't have to listen to the other person's sarcastic remarks.

"Urashiki, go take a look at that celestial body. Kinshiki is right, it's extraordinary."

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki glanced behind him; it was pitch black.

Oh, that thing is on the other side.

"Okay, once I'm done, where should I meet up with you guys?"

"You can play around as you please, we'll come find you." Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki plopped down on Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's broad shoulders, his tone clearly indicating that he was being dismissed.

"Kinshiki, let's go."

"Yes, Momoshiki."

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's voice was deep, just like his appearance—simple and honest.

The space around him distorted, pulling him and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki into it.

When the space was leveled again, there was no one there.

The smile on Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's face then disappeared.

He looked down at the blue planet beneath his feet and sighed softly.

Then, darkness enveloped him.

When he reappeared, he was on the desolate surface of the moon.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki walked for a while on this monotonous land, finding it quite boring.

"You're already in a rush to get rid of me as soon as I arrive; I'm not going to fight you for it..."

Of course, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki knew about it, and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki had absolutely no interest in this celestial body. After all, it was just an ordinary thing; how many times had the Ōtsutsuki Main Family, who roamed among the nomadic planets, seen such things?

They don't even bother with appearances.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki speechless the most was Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki; wasn't he just about to punch him?

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki may look silly, but his personality is anything but. On the contrary, he is irritable and cruel.

Yes, cruel.

This idea shouldn't even be in the mind of a Ōtsutsuki Main Family.

But one fruit can nurture a hundred different Ōtsutsuki Clan; Urashiki Ōtsutsuki and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki are completely different people.

Like other Ōtsutsuki Clan, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki viewed all the natives as inferior beings, but conversely, he valued the bloodline of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Of course, it at least has to look like an Ōtsutsuki Clan.

He had always known that Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki found him annoying. Although the three of them shared the same interest in seizing Chakra and refining it into pills, they were very different in other aspects.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki didn't care about this. He probably knew what Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was thinking, but he felt that thinking about such things was too far-fetched.

Their clan has been planting trees for so many years, yet they haven't even seen the backside of the gods.

If it were so easy to achieve, it wouldn't be their clan's long-cherished wish.

Urashiki Ōtsutsuki walked casually and accidentally kicked a pebble.

Watching the pebbles disappear in a flash, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki grew increasingly bored.
