Named by Kaguya! Otsutsuki!!

[You selected option three: say nothing and just keep grinning foolishly. Quest complete. Reward: charm +1]

The reward arrived as promised.

A warm current once again swept through Su Ye's body, subtly refining his features and changing his bearing.

It also confirmed Su Ye's guess.

Given Princess Kaguya's personality, a crying child would probably only irritate her.

But a child who was utterly oblivious to death and innocently wanted a hug-that was precisely the kind she couldn't bring herself to kill.

Now, with the system's reward taking effect, Su Ye's little baby face became even more delicate and adorable.

He didn't know whether such a change would catch Princess Kaguya's attention. He couldn't help tilting his little face up to steal a glance at her.

Only to find that Princess Kaguya was looking at him too.

Their eyes suddenly met.

A gentle breeze swept past, lifting Princess Kaguya's silvery hair.

A different sort of radiance appeared on her exquisite face, and her rosy lips curved slightly upward.

Princess Kaguya smiled at him!

Thump!

Su Ye felt his heart suddenly skip a beat.

Wh-why did she suddenly start smiling...?

So even you, Princess Kaguya, with that icy face of yours, can smile! Unbelievable! And such a dazzling, radiant, beautiful smile at that.

What kind of secret history was this?!

I can barely withstand Princess Kaguya's breathtaking beauty! What am I supposed to do?!

Especially when the Princess Kaguya right in front of me is so much prettier than she was in the anime...

"Little one, what are you staring at me for?"

Even Princess Kaguya grew a little embarrassed under Su Ye's stare, the tips of her ears flushing faintly.

"Since I've decided to take you with me, I should give you a name..."

Princess Kaguya spoke softly, a thoughtful look flickering in her beautiful eyes.

Then, as though it had been destined, a feather happened to drift slowly down from the sky.

Princess Kaguya watched the feather for a moment, faint ripples of emotion stirring in her eyes.

Then she seemed to think of something. Her rosy lips curved slightly, and she said with a soft laugh, "How about, from now on, I call you..."

Princess Kaguya lifted Su Ye above her head, holding him right before the bright moon.

The moon shone beautifully, and the breeze caressed them. Bathed in moonlight, the tiny baby looked bright and adorable, as though coated in a layer of silver frost.

The feather spun as it blew past.

Princess Kaguya smiled and finally finished her sentence. "Yuya... I'll call you Otsutsuki Yuya."

Yuya...

Su Ye murmured inwardly.

A feather drifted down, and we met in the night.

So she named me Yuya?

Su Ye... no, Otsutsuki Yuya had never imagined this.

That one day, Princess Kaguya would actually give him a name.

I met Naruto's big boss right after transmigrating, and she even adopted and named me?

And Ōtsutsuki—that name practically destined to bring endless conflict.

[Option one: cruelly refuse. Pat her shapely rear. That's it? You think you're worthy of naming me? Reward: Six-Tomoe Rinnegan]

[Option two: calmly refuse. Lift her chin, gaze deeply into her eyes, confess your love, and start a romance with her. Reward: Rinne Sharingan]

[Option three: nod in agreement and smile faintly. Reward: physique +1]

Otsutsuki Yuya stared blankly at the newly refreshed options.

Even if he wanted to choose either of the first two, he simply wasn't capable of it.

He wouldn't mind being raised as a future husband by Naruto's ultimate boss and enjoying a sweet romance, even if it was a bit like striking a bargain with a tiger...

Let me date Princess Kaguya, and I'd gladly awaken the Mangekyo or use the Rinne Sharingan!

But the problem was that he was still just a baby.

I choose option three!

Otsutsuki Yuya didn't seem to have much of a choice.

Then Yuya lifted his little face.

A faint smile spread over his delicate, tender features, and he nodded his tiny head.

He looked utterly delighted.

At that moment, the two charm points he'd gained came into full effect.

That smile was like a spring breeze against the face, like a hundred flowers blooming, exuding an indescribable charm.

It made him look even purer and more innocent.

"As long as you like it. From now on, the two of us..."

Princess Kaguya spoke with satisfaction, seemingly very proud of her talent for naming.

Otsutsuki Yuya didn't catch what she said next. The text appearing before his eyes had drawn his attention.

[You have successfully established a bond with Kaguya Otsutsuki]

[Affection monitoring unlocked. Your current affection with Kaguya Otsutsuki is 10]

[Special rewards can be obtained when affection reaches certain thresholds]

[You selected option three: smile faintly and nod in agreement. Quest complete. Reward: physique +1]

A warm current began flowing through Yuya's body once again.

Perhaps because his body was still so frail, Yuya could clearly feel the changes. His physique seemed to be growing stronger by an almost imperceptible degree.

His little hands seemed to have more strength, his body felt more powerful, and even the bitterly cold night no longer seemed quite so cold.

Meanwhile, establishing this bond seemed to have opened up new possibilities for the system.

What are these special rewards?

I'm kind of looking forward to them.

Surely they're the kind you can't show on air?!

But just then, Yuya couldn't help frowning.

If I have to grind affection to get these rewards, how am I supposed to stab Princess Kaguya in the back?

After all, Naruto's ultimate boss seemed to meet a pretty miserable end...

Am I really going to have to stick with Princess Kaguya?!

Won't the protagonists wipe us all out in one go?!

Thinking about it, damn... am I going to become Black Zetsu someday?!

At that thought, Yuya broke into a waterfall of cold sweat.

If that really was the case, he would have to be ready to switch sides at any moment.

If he didn't switch sides, he'd have to guard against fire, lightning, and the Six Paths!

"Isshiki, I won't follow in your footsteps and let someone betray me..."

Holding Yuya, Princess Kaguya extended a slender finger and teased his cheek. Gazing at his exquisite face, she murmured to herself.

Hearing Princess Kaguya's words, Yuya was utterly speechless...

You probably have no idea that the baby in your arms is already planning to switch sides at any moment.

And your two future children won't just betray you-they'll seal you on the moon for a thousand years!

The Ōtsutsuki don't want you, your descendants betray you, and even the Earth you devote yourself to protecting sees you as a demon.

You could say the whole world is your enemy!

But with me around, whether that happens... is still hard to say...

He could only hope this system would come through, eventually helping him attain Six Paths level strength so he could take control of the situation himself and rewrite the tragedy.

By then, the stars had thinned, the moon had faded, and dawn was approaching.

As daybreak arrived, the first rays of sunlight spilled gently down.

Amid the specks of faint light,

A woman of peerless beauty, with an ethereal, immortal air, walked quietly forward, unmatched and alone.

In her arms, she held an exquisite, adorable little baby, as lovely as a jade carving.

Each harbored their own thoughts.

Neither knew what awaited them ahead, both having come to this planet for the first time...
