A clone stepped out of his body and vanished onto the satellite where Orochimaru's laboratory stood.
This served both to help Orochimaru deal with trouble and to keep watch over him.
If Orochimaru could develop an instrument that detected Water of Life in space, Fugaku would gladly give him additional rewards. He could even cultivate a complete Ten-Tails for him.
Failure would be understandable, too. The Otsutsuki had existed for countless years, and someone among them must have devoted a great deal of time to this research.
Previously, he had killed several Otsutsuki and let Little Ten absorb the three God Trees planted by the Luo Tian Lineage.
Now that he had become a branch clan head—and done so as a member of the Luo Tian Lineage—there were certain matters he needed to settle.
Fugaku entered a Space-Time Passage and emerged on Dinosaur Planet. He had already recalled Little Ten's clone.
With a turn of his palm, a God Tree sapling appeared in his hand. He planted it where the original God Tree had grown, gathered a vast amount of chakra in his hand, and began feeding it into the tree.
The tiny sapling grew rapidly, becoming a towering tree in moments and radiating a powerful aura.
Without a close inspection, no one would notice the difference, though this God Tree would probably take far longer to mature.
As for the two missing clansmen, the Otsutsuki had as many as they needed. Their lives mattered less to the clan than the God Trees did.
After replacing all three God Trees Little Ten had absorbed with saplings and supplying them with some chakra, he turned and left.
He still had seven saplings in hand. Passing through a Space-Time Door, he arrived on the planet where Little Ten was staying.
