"Summoning these two really let me rest easy."
Amid the ruins inside the moon, Xia Yan stretched comfortably, then sank back into the hot water.
Summoning his two predecessors, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, had truly been an incredibly sound decision.
He was simply too exhausted. He had consumed far too much chakra, and the drain from Yin-Yang Release in particular had left both his body and mind unable to keep going.
But in an environment like the moon, he really dared not let his guard down at all.
After briefly explaining the situation to the two of them, Xia Yan could no longer hold on and fell straight into a deep sleep.
When he woke again, he really did find another corpse or two nearby.
They were those Ōtsutsuki. Who knew how they had found their way over to him?
Xia Yan could also tell that these Ōtsutsuki seemed to have been interrogated. That was clearly the handiwork of the two Hokage.
Although Xia Yan had given them an answer, what he said had been far too fantastical.
They were on the moon?
That claim had truly stunned them both, because they had never heard of people being able to live on the moon.
But before they could ask any more questions, Xia Yan had already fallen asleep, leaving them helpless.
And Hashirama Senju had not been lying. His current strength really was a far cry from what it had been while he was alive.
Of course, even if their current strength was lacking, putting them in the shinobi world would still have left them close to sweeping aside everyone.
The sacrifices Xia Yan had used were members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon.
These people had seemed somewhat powerless against Xia Yan when he went all out.
