Options

The three options that suddenly appeared were like a final lifeline, nearly bringing Su Ye to tears of joy.

What did I tell you!

How could a bona fide transmigrator like me not have something like this?

Just look!

Granted, it wasn't a legendary system, a cheat, or some old mentor who fell out of the sky.

Instead, it was three options!

But at least those three options pointed him toward a way out.

And right from the start, they offered an ultimate ocular power as a reward-the Rinnegan or the Tenseigan!

My system is way too good to me! Is it really this generous?

Su Ye couldn't help growing excited.

He automatically ignored the third option, though.

If I'm closing my eyes and waiting to die, what good is a little extra charm?

That left him with a choice between one and two.

After careful consideration, he decided to pick option one!

First, in terms of rewards, the Rinnegan was somewhat more useful than the Tenseigan.

Second, he felt that choosing option two might still get him killed.

Third, for a reason that hardly counted as one, he personally liked Princess Kaguya more.

As for why choosing option two might still get him killed?

First of all, what would Princess Kaguya do if he exposed her scheme? Once all pretenses were dropped, would she take her anger out on him first?

How was he, a baby, supposed to protect himself from an enraged Princess Kaguya?

Second, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's personality was hard to read. The original story hadn't described him much, so whether he would believe Su Ye was another question entirely.

Besides, the original story hadn't clearly explained why Princess Kaguya ambushed Isshiki. If Su Ye gave a vague explanation and couldn't properly account for it,

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki might think he was deliberately sowing discord, and he would still end up dead.

Even if Isshiki really believed him, if the two fell out and started fighting on the spot, how could a baby like him escape unharmed without getting caught in the crossfire?

So option one was his only way out!

He knew the plot surrounding Princess Kaguya's sealing well-how her two sons had changed, why they sealed her, what method they ultimately used, and where they sealed her.

He could explain all of it in detail, making his words considerably more convincing by comparison.

Of course, even in the best-case scenario, he would probably lose his freedom and spend the rest of his days as a tool, constantly revealing future events.

But as long as he was alive, there was still hope. And he couldn't forget the system reward!

Maybe he could even use the Rinnegan reward to pass himself off as a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan?

Then he would eventually have a chance to turn things around!

After all that analysis, Su Ye couldn't help giving himself a mental thumbs-up for his quick thinking!

Without further hesitation, he shouted inwardly, I choose one!

Then he waved his little hands and spoke at top speed:

"Abba, abba, abba... (Level-ten baby talk: Princess Kaguya, listen to me! In the future, your two bastard sons will... #&%..."

Su Ye: "???"

And clearly, both of these major villains had failing grades in baby talk.

"What is he saying?"

Isshiki frowned.

"I can't understand him."

Princess Kaguya shook her head.

Su Ye: "..."

At a time like this, how can major villains have gaps in their education? Couldn't you even pass the level-four baby talk exam?!

Su Ye was falling apart.

He hated communicating with uneducated people!

Everything I wanted to say turned into abba, abba, abba the moment it left my mouth?

Su Ye's eyes widened, and despair once again filled his heart.

Su Ye had forgotten that he was still a baby.

His capacity for speech wasn't fully developed.

And when it came to the language in Naruto, aside from "Sasuke" and "Naruto," he couldn't say a single word!

That realization plunged Su Ye into the abyss once again!

After that, no matter what he tried, he found himself unable to trigger option one!

"What is this brat trying to say? All that chirping and babbling is irritating."

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki frowned, clearly having lost his patience. Seeing Princess Kaguya still hesitate, he urged her:

"Kill him already. The pointless begging and struggling of an insignificant life is tiresome."

At the same time, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki slowly approached Su Ye with a black rod in hand.

At that moment, Su Ye was utterly despairing.

When the three options from what seemed to be a system had appeared,

he had thought his hellish starting situation was merely fate playing a joke on him.

After all, the moment they appeared, everything had started to feel like the standard transmigrator setup.

But before he could even celebrate, the joke came to an abrupt end.

All that remained was cold reality.

There was no escaping death...

Su Ye couldn't help closing his eyes.

He truly couldn't bear to look at Princess Kaguya's lovely, delicate face anymore.

He feared it would only make him even more reluctant to let go.

Yet, whether it was his imagination or not, in the final instant before he closed his eyes, he caught a strange smile on Princess Kaguya's soft, rosy lips.
