Everyone was still a little dazed. What they found most impossible to accept was how someone could travel to entirely different worlds.
Kaguya rarely spoke up. "Kurama, Naruto and Yakumo Kurama are like that in another world, right? What exactly did Yakumo Kurama do? How did she manage to travel to other worlds?"
