"Sage of Six Paths's... mother?"
Minato Namikaze almost acted like a conditioned reflex, and his right hand moved down instantly, and his fingertips had already touched the handle end of Flying Thunder God Kunai that was attached to Ninja Tool Pouch at his waist.
As Ninja, who has experienced war and is extremely vigilant, faced with the mother of the legendary Sage of Six Paths, he instinctively entered a state of alert.
But the next second, he reacted, loosened his fingers, and a trace of embarrassment and understanding flashed across his face.
The fact that the other party can appear in Naruto's home at this moment, and even be invited to have a meal with Naruto, speaks volumes in itself.
At least for now, she is not an enemy, and may even be an ally.
In other words, being won over by Naruto can be used as a force to fight against Sage of Six Paths.
Naruto was not surprised to see Fourth Hokage's reaction.
He waited for Minato to calm down before speaking calmly and briefly introducing the family members present:
"This is Kaguya Otsutsuki, Progenitor of Chakra, and the mother of Sage of Six Paths Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki."
Then, he changed the subject and pointed at the silver-haired woman next to Kaguya: "This is Otohime Otsutsuki, from the Ōtsutsuki Main Family, currently... temporarily living in Konoha."
Finally, his eyes fell on the black mud that was trying to show a "behaved" posture, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "This is the creation of Black Zetsu, Kaguya."
"It's my son."
Black Zetsu corrected.
But no one cares.
After a brief introduction, Naruto sat back in his seat and picked up his chopsticks, as if he had just introduced a few ordinary guests.
He took a bite of the food and then said as if to supplement:
"This 'chess game' with Sage of Six Paths, Kaguya... is also one of the important combat forces on our side."
This was said in an understatement, but it once again made waves in the hearts of Minato, Kushina and others.
When fighting Sage of Six Paths, can he still rely on his mother's power? The amount of information and complexity involved are far beyond their imagination.
The dining table was quiet for a moment. Kushina looked at Kaguya's fair but expressionless face, then at Naruto, and couldn't help but asked cautiously, "Um...Kaguya...Senior?"
Is there any misunderstanding between you and Sage of Six Paths?" She tried to ask in a more tactful way.
Minato thought more. He looked at Naruto with questioning eyes.
Naruto understood what his father meant, put down his chopsticks and killed Kaguya, who had arrived thousands of years ago, planted God Tree, devoured Chakra Fruit, and later used Ōtsutsuki Main Family out of fear of the pursuit of the Ōtsutsuki Main Family. The story of how Infinite Tsukuyomi was transformed into an army of White Zetsu on the ground, and finally sealed on the moon by his two sons, Hagoromo and Hamura, was succinctly described.
As Naruto narrated, the expressions of Minato, Kushina, Karin and Uchiha Hikari all became very complicated.
Infinite Tsukuyomi?
Turn living people into Monster White Zetsu who have no thoughts and only know how to fight?
In the end, he was sealed away by his own son for a thousand years...
How do you feel... this Progenitor of Chakra is the biggest villain in the story?
Karin and Uchiha Hikari looked at each other and saw such confusion in each other's eyes.
Even Minato and Kushina couldn't help but whisper in their hearts.
Such a "dark history" does not look like it can become a reliable ally.
Feeling the vague, scrutinizing and slightly contradictory eyes on the table, Kaguya herself didn't care at all. She didn't even raise her head, just picked up a small piece of vegetables with chopsticks, put it into her mouth with a slightly unfamiliar movement, and chewed it carefully.
It wasn't until she swallowed the food that she slowly raised her pair of pure Byakugan, swept her eyes flatly over the crowd, and said simply in her unique, lackluster tone:
"I did that to cope with what may come in the future, Ōtsutsuki Main Family."
She paused and seemed to feel the need to explain more clearly, "White Zetsu's strength was much stronger than that of ordinary people Shinobi World at that time.
Converting them into an army is the most efficient option."
Finally, she concluded, her tone still cold, but with a sense of matter-of-factness. "I'm just trying to protect myself."
In her opinion, facing a powerful enemy that may destroy the world, it is a perfectly normal logic to sacrifice part of the human race to create an army to protect herself and other people.
As for whether this process is cruel and whether it deprives others of their will and life, it is not her main consideration. Survival is the first priority.
This explanation did not completely relieve Minato and others, but made them realize more deeply that there is a huge difference between this Progenitor of Chakra's thinking mode and ordinary people.
Her "evil" may not stem from pure evil, but from a survival logic that is older, more direct, and more indifferent to individual value.
But it is precisely because of this inhuman thinking and powerful strength that she may become an extremely unpredictable but extremely powerful chess piece or ally when facing a common enemy.
As for Kaguya, does he have any other thoughts?
Here we have to mention Young Hero Rainbow Cat.
After Seven Swords United,___________(5 points)
As long as there is any change in Kaguya, the fate of Ma Sanniang will be the fate of Kaguya.
Naruto will never be soft-hearted on this point, after all, Naruto Uzumaki is not the kind of person who is soft-hearted.
Naruto looked at the different expressions of his family members and did not explain any more.
He knew that it would take time for his family to fully understand and accept the existence and position of Kaguya, and it would also require their own observation and judgment.
Right now, the most important thing is to deal with "Life-and-Death Chess Game" one month from now.
"Let's eat first."
Naruto broke the silence, gave Guang a piece of meat, and gave Karin a spoonful of soup.
Finally, ignoring Otohime's expectant gaze, he fed her the vegetables she hated most.
"We will discuss the specific tactics and arrangements in detail tomorrow. Let's have a good meal tonight."
Under his guidance, the atmosphere at the dinner table finally calmed down again.
Although still a little subtle and weird.
Especially after Black Zetsu tried to use "chicken feet" to pick up vegetables and failed, but was carried aside by Otohime using Chakra Threads.
But at least, a few people sat together and began to enjoy this extraordinary dinner.
After Naruto introduced Kaguya, Otohime and the adopted son Black Zetsu, the atmosphere of the dinner, although a little subtle, finally turned peaceful with the company of delicious food and family.
Everyone ate in silence, occasionally exchanging a few words about the dishes or Konoha's current situation, deliberately avoiding those heavy and complicated topics.
Just when the dinner was coming to an end and everyone was feeling a little more relaxed, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly put down his chopsticks and cleared his throat.
His expression looked a little hesitant and a little... solemn.
