"Back then, the two kingdoms were constantly at war. To end the fighting and preserve his throne, that cowardly king actually agreed without a moment's hesitation to the enemy kingdom's demand to hand over his own wife, Kaguya!"
Even Lucci's voice was filled with disbelief!
Boom!
Those words shattered Naruto and Sasuke's understanding in an instant. Both stood dumbstruck, their faces filled with disbelief and speechless dismay. For a moment, they had no idea what to say.
A trace of icy scorn flashed through Sasuke's eyes as he said coldly, "He brought his own destruction upon himself."
Lucci nodded in agreement and continued recounting how it ended.
"Betrayed and abandoned by the person she loved most, Kaguya lost the last vestige of warmth in her heart at that moment."
"With her heart utterly dead, Kaguya flew into a rage and turned everyone in both warring kingdoms into sacrifices for the God Tree."
"From that moment on, Kaguya sealed her heart shut."
"All that remained was the Rabbit Goddess, cold and ruthless, looking down upon all living beings with indifference and absolute authority."
At this point, Lucci added the final part of the false legend that had circulated in the Shinobi World for millennia.
"At the time, Kaguya was already pregnant. The children in her womb were the brothers Hagoromo and Hamura."
"Later generations knew nothing of what had actually happened. As the story passed from person to person, it eventually became a beautiful legend-the Rabbit Goddess received everyone's blessings and conceived her children without trouble."
Yet no one knew that betrayal lay behind that legend.
After hearing the whole story, Naruto and Sasuke wore deeply conflicted expressions. They did not know whether to laugh or cry, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Kaguya really had been such a fool!
