Before long, Ye Feng stopped a short distance from Kaguya and quietly watched her.
Kaguya's cool voice rang out:
"You're here!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng walked over and plopped down on the ground beside Kaguya. He looked nothing like a peerless master, but more like a country boy.
The two sat together for a long time before Kaguya finally spoke first:
"You're planning to leave this place, aren't you?"
Ye Feng gave a soft hum of agreement, then said:
"This world can no longer help me advance. I need to look for opportunities elsewhere."
Kaguya spoke slowly:
"How long do you plan to be away?"
"Probably not too long. Ten years at most. I still worry about the Shinobi World, so I'll come back to check on it then. What about you? Any plans? Do you want to come with me?"
Kaguya shook her head and said:
"I won't be going. Your strength has far surpassed mine now, and the task of protecting this planet has fallen to you. I can take things a little easier too. If I'd known things would turn out this way, perhaps I wouldn't have done those things, and I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
Ye Feng knew she was talking about turning humans into White Zetsu and her two sons' rebellion.
Kaguya needed power, or she could protect neither herself nor the Shinobi World. But her two children had failed to understand, and in the end, they had taken opposing paths.
Ye Feng couldn't really say who was right or wrong. All he could say was that different ideas had led to different outcomes. It was just like Madara Uchiha: they had all sought peace, but chosen another path.
Ye Feng put on a look of regret and said:
"That's such a shame.
