In This World, Only the Strong Can Decide Everything, and I Happen to Be One of Them!

Hearing this, Kagami Uchiha glanced at Kaguya, but he wouldn't be fooled by this woman's demeanor.

Kaguya was no weak woman. In essence, she was no different from the other Ōtsutsuki Clan. The only difference was that she had more emotions than those inhuman monsters. After all, she had experience of marriage and childbirth in the Shinobi World, so the Shinobi World held some kind of bond for her.

This sliver of humanity was one of the key reasons why Kagami Uchiha showed her leniency.

With this thought in mind, Kagami Uchiha calmly gazed at the figure in the void and spoke softly, "Kaguya, I know what your purpose was in creating White Zetsu a thousand years ago; after you ambushed Ōtsutsuki Isshiki and secretly consumed the Chakra Fruit formed by the God Tree, you knew very well that the main members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan would never let you go. So, in order to resist the main clan, you thought of creating your own army, which is the so-called White Zetsu."

"Am I right? Rabbit Goddess!"

Upon hearing this, Kaguya remained calm and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Kagami Uchiha continued, "But back then, you thought Isshiki was dead, so your focus was entirely on the distant future, waiting for the pursuing clan's reinforcements to arrive. But you didn't expect Isshiki to be alive, did you? Now Isshiki is lurking in the Shinobi World, slowly licking his wounds. I think he will definitely not let you go..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Kaguya's expression changed from calm to one of hatred and anxiety.

Kagami Uchiha is right. After all these years, Isshiki must already know that he was sealed on the moon. The reason he hasn't come looking for him is simply because his injuries haven't healed and he's not entirely confident in dealing with him!

If Yi Shi is allowed to lie dormant for Isshiki, his injuries will eventually heal, and that will be his death day.

Furthermore, given the hatred Isshiki for him, he would never kill him easily; he would certainly subject him to inhuman torture...

The thought of suffering such torment and enduring such a fate made Kaguya's expression grow increasingly grim.

After a long pause, she looked solemnly at Kagami Uchiha and said earnestly, "Kagami Uchiha, you know too much. You certainly wouldn't believe me if I were talking nonsense, but I want to say something from the bottom of my heart: Isshiki and those members of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family are not human. They have no humanity whatsoever. They are monsters that devour the world!"

"To be honest, I've lost most of my power now. Leaving Isshiki and the Ōtsutsuki Main Family, you alone might be capable of killing me."

"I know I don't have any leverage. To you, I'm different from those people; I'm just another monster who wants to devour the Shinobi World. But I really never thought about destroying the Shinobi World."

At this point, a hint of nostalgia and sorrow crossed her face as she continued, "My greatest wish at the beginning was to live a good life with my husband and raise our children. I truly love this beautiful planet."

"However, if we want to live with them in the long term, we must deal with the threat posed by the Ōtsutsuki Main Family. But it's a pipe dream for me to fight them all by myself."

"So I thought of creating an army to fight them, but in the process, my sons didn't understand me. They joined forces to overthrow my rule and even sealed me here for a thousand years..."

"But even today, I have never hated my children. They were just trying to protect their world; it's just that their enemy was their mother..."

"You probably know what happened next... Sigh." Kaguya paused slightly and sighed softly.

After a moment of silence, Kaguya's expression turned solemn, and she said sincerely, "Kagami Uchiha, I have told you everything I know. What I want to say is that I can truly cooperate with you. I can fight against the other Ōtsutsuki members with you. And I only have two requests."

"First, release me from this cage when you deem it appropriate."

"Secondly, my two sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, have passed away. I only have my youngest son, Little Black, left. I know that he must have made many terrible mistakes over the years in order to save me. I beg you to allow me to leave this planet with him after everything has settled down. After that, my son and I will find a place where no one knows us and disappear without a trace. What do you think?"

As she finished speaking, Kaguya looked earnestly at Kagami Uchiha.

Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha did not answer immediately. After pondering for a moment, he slowly said, "Kaguya, cooperation is possible, but I have a few preconditions. You might want to hear them."

"First, regarding your freedom, I will unseal you when the time is right, allowing you to regain your freedom. However, before leaving the Shinobi World, all your movements will be monitored, and you will also have to undergo profound ideological education from Konoha, which you must not resist."

"Secondly, regarding your greatest threat, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, I will personally eliminate this menace when necessary. After all, allowing him to remain lurking here will inevitably cause trouble one day. This is my world, and I will not allow any extraterrestrial race to act recklessly here!"

"And your youngest son, Black Zetsu, has been doing well lately. As his superior, consider this a reward for him."

"Third, in the future, no matter which member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan sets foot in this Shinobi World, you must unconditionally stop them, without any excuses!"

After she finished speaking, Kaguya nodded seriously, then said softly, "I can agree to all these conditions, but given your cunning, I don't think you'll trust me so easily. So, what are your methods of keeping me in check?"

Upon hearing this, Kagami Uchiha nodded in satisfaction. Talking to intelligent people is indeed simple.

With this thought in mind, he looked down at her with disdain and confidently said, "I naturally won't easily believe verbal promises, after all, you do have a bit of a criminal record."

"But the checks and balances you mentioned are unnecessary. In this world, only the strong can decide everything, and I just happen to be the strong one!"

At this point, Kagami Uchiha abruptly changed the subject. "However, it's impossible to say there's absolutely no cost involved."

"So, I want you to open your mind and not resist. I'm going to take something from your body, but of course, not too much."

"However, this process may be a bit painful, so please bear with it!"

"I think you'll grant this small request, for your freedom and for your poor little son."
