Naruto: Uchiha is not Raikage!

Hagoromo Otsutsuki knelt on the cracked rock, his abdomen burning with excruciating pain, and his broken ribs piercing him with every breath.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki slowly stood up. He looked down at his tattered robes and the dust and bloodstains covering his body, and gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth.

He looked truly pathetic, like a stray dog.

But he didn't stay long. He walked towards the villagers.

"Yu, Lord Hagoromo..."

The first to speak was the old man from before. He trembled as he tried to kneel down, but was stopped by Hagoromo Otsutsuki raising his hand.

"No need to be polite."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki's voice was a little hoarse, but still gentle.

"I'm sorry the fight just now... startled you."

He looked around at the crowd. His Sharingan had returned to its pure white color. He didn't want to face these ordinary people with those eyes that symbolized struggle.

"As you can see, my father... the progenitor and I have diverged on the path of chakra."

He tried to explain in simple terms.

“He believed that chakra should be freely distributed, allowing humans to choose how to use it, while I… believe that chakra should become a bridge connecting hearts, used to promote understanding and avoid conflict.”

He paused, and seeing that the fear on the villagers' faces had not completely disappeared, he continued:
"You all saw that earth-shattering power just now; that was only a small part of Father's power."
If such power is abused, if those who wield it lose restraint and compassion... what will become of this world?

Several villagers instinctively shivered.

They recalled the horrific sight of that single arrow leveling the mountain range; what if such an attack had landed on human settlements...

"So you're leaving here, Lady Hagoromo?"

A young man asked.

"Yes."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki nodded.

"I want to find people who are willing to accept the way of ruthlessness, establish a new village, and spread the true purpose of chakra: not fighting, but understanding."

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the villagers in front of him:
“You don’t have to force yourselves. If you want to go home, you can go back now. The Ancestor will not hold a grudge against you for following me. Father is not that kind of person.”

He said this with great certainty.

Even though father and son had broken ties and their beliefs clashed, deep down, Hagoromo Otsutsuki still believed that his father was not the kind of cruel person who would implicate innocent people.

The villagers looked at each other. Silence spread through the crowd.

Finally, the old man slowly spoke:
“I’m an old man who has lived most of my life and has seen too much fighting. Villages and families fight each other for a little water, a piece of land, or even a quarrel. They can fight to the death, with heads broken and families destroyed.”

Tears welled up in his cloudy eyes.

“My son… died in a conflict between two families more than a decade ago. If… if there really is a power that can make people understand each other and prevent such tragedies… I want to see that kind of world.”

"I want, too!"

The woman who had lost her husband earlier stepped forward, wiping away her tears.

"I don't want to see anyone else lose loved ones because of some pointless conflict, just like I did."

"And I!"

"I am coming too!"

One by one, a dozen or so villagers stepped forward, including men, women, and children.

Their eyes still held fear and unease, but even more so, an almost stubborn expectation—a longing for a world where they wouldn't have to live in fear.

Just like religion, the more suffering and nightmares one experiences, the more devout faith one can cultivate.

Only in this way can we survive.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki looked at those who were willing to follow him.

"So……"

He took a breath, which aggravated the injury to his ribs, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"let's go."

He turned back one last time, looking in the direction his father had left.

The sky was a clear, deep blue, with a few wisps of clouds drifting by, as if the earth-shattering battle that had just taken place was an illusion.

But the massive ravine stretching for dozens of miles beneath our feet, and the mountain silhouettes disappearing into the distance, silently testify that what had just happened was real.

My father's power is unfathomable.

"Let's go."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki turned around and never looked back.

He led the villagers who were willing to follow him in the opposite direction from the sacred tree.

…………

A few months later.

In a fertile valley surrounded by mountains, a brand-new village is beginning to take shape.

The village is nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and the buildings are mostly made of wood and stone.

Smoke rose from several newly built houses.

In the center of the village, a building slightly larger than the usual houses stands out.

The words "Renxin Sect" were written on it.

This is where Hagoromo Otsutsuki newly established his base.

After months of hard work, the initial thirteen people have grown to nearly one hundred.

Along the way, more and more people who had heard of the Sage of Six Paths and agreed with the philosophy of ruthlessness joined them.

Among them were wanderers weary of endless fighting, refugees who had lost their homes, and idealists simply attracted by Hagoromo Otsutsuki's charisma.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki is now more commonly known as the Sage of Six Paths.

Most of the time, his eyes are pure white, only turning crimson when he needs to use his power or when his emotions are stirred, thus using the power of the Sharingan.

In the past few months, he has mainly focused on mastering the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

During his battle with his father, under the extreme emotional impact and life-or-death pressure, he awakened these eyes and vaguely sensed the unique pupil technique contained within them.

But the battle was urgent at the time, and he didn't have time to think about it carefully.

In the first month after the Ninja Sect settled down, Hagoromo Otsutsuki began a long period of secluded meditation.

He opened a simple meditation cave in the back mountain of Renxin Sect, where he spent most of his time except for handling necessary village affairs.

It was difficult at first.

The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan is very difficult to control, filled with impurities of negative emotions: anger during battle, the pain of being rejected by his father, and resentment at his own weakness...

These emotions intertwined with his pupil power, causing him to feel palpitations every time he tried to delve deeper.

On the night of the full moon in the third month, Hagoromo Otsutsuki finally mastered the exclusive eye technique of the Mangekyou Sharingan.

He named it "Takamatsu no Sumizu no Mikoto".

It can greatly enhance its own vitality and recovery ability, and can also share this vitality and inject it into other life forms.

It was with this eye technique that Hagoromo Otsutsuki accomplished the second important thing: he created two lives.

He conceived a relationship with a human woman and infused her with eye techniques and chakra.

These two children developed extremely quickly.

She was born after only one month, and her birth was terrifying. Seven days later, she began to speak human language.

He named his eldest son Indra and this son Asura.

He hoped that Indra and Ashura could inherit his understanding and tolerance, work together to promote the Ninja Sect, and guide chakra onto the right path.

…………

the other side.

Kaguya's residence.

Kiyoshi stood in the center of the open space, raised his right hand, palm up, fingers slightly spread towards the sky, making a gesture similar to taking in something.

next moment.

High in the sky, a thick, white, giant cumulonimbus cloud that was drifting leisurely by suddenly stopped.

It felt as if I was being held tightly by an invisible giant hand!

The cloud's originally graceful edges suddenly deformed, and then, at a speed completely defying the laws of physics, it was forcibly pulled down toward the ground, toward the direction of Kiyoshi's palm!

All things are attracted by heaven!

The clouds were falling faster and faster, their size rapidly increasing in the field of vision.

Due to the intense friction with the air, it emitted a low whistling sound, like a meteorite falling from the sky.

The wind was amplified by its fall, causing the trees around Kiyoshi to sway wildly and leaves to fly everywhere.

But it ultimately did not hit the ground.

About 100 meters above the courtyard, the clouds suddenly stopped falling.

Kiyoshi used the "Universal Celestial Guidance" to manipulate the position of the clouds.

After consuming half of the "Chakra Fruit," Kiyoshi was able to use some of the abilities of the "Rinnegan" even before he had awakened it.

One of them is the "Universal Celestial Pull," which can manipulate gravity.

At this moment, the cloud appears astonishingly large, with a diameter exceeding fifty meters, as thick as cotton wool, and as white as fresh snow.

It hovered directly above Qing Si, blocking out a large portion of the sunlight. At the bottom of the cloud, extremely fine, almost invisible raindrops began to fall due to the condensation of water vapor at low altitudes, refracting into tiny rainbows in the sunlight.

Kiyoshi lowered his hand, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Is this the new ability you've acquired?"

A clear, cool voice came from behind him, carrying the calm tone unique to Kaguya Otsutsuki. Kiyoshi turned around.

Kaguya Otsutsuki had appeared quietly at some point.

Today she was wearing a simple robe adorned with magatama, the waist of which was cinched tightly, outlining her voluptuous and stunningly beautiful figure.

Her slender yet supple waist, full and high breasts, round and perky hips, and straight and long calves that were faintly visible through the opening of the kimono hem were all clearly visible.

She walked to Qing Si's side, tilted her head slightly, and looked at the huge cloud floating in the air.

"Ah."

Kiyoshi nodded, his gaze falling on her.

"I haven't really developed any techniques related to gravity and repulsion in the past, so I'm going to practice them today to take a look."

Kiyoshi also wanted to see if this would trigger the relevant keywords.

Kaguya Otsutsuki quietly watched the clouds for a while, not paying any attention to the fine rain falling on her face and hair.

Suddenly, she turned her head, her pure white eyes looking directly at Qing Si, and said in her usual factual tone:
“I’ve seen similar scenes in human storybooks.”

"What is it?"

Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow and took a step closer.

They were very close, and he could smell her unique fragrance.

"The book says that if a man falls in love with a woman and wants to marry her, he will find a rare and precious gift to give her."

She paused, her pure white eyes fixed on Qing Si, filled with unwavering curiosity.

"This behavior, in human etiquette, is called a marriage proposal, and is an important ritual before the conclusion of a marriage contract."

She tilted her head slightly, a few strands of white hair sliding down her rounded shoulders:
"What you're doing now is attracting the clouds from the sky. By human standards, this should be considered a marriage proposal."

Kiyoshi was slightly taken aback.

He never expected Kaguya Otsutsuki to offer such a unique interpretation.

He was indeed just doing it on a whim, testing out his new ability, and incidentally wanting her to see this amazing sight.

But a marriage proposal?
Looking at her serious expression as if she were rigorously analyzing objective facts, Kiyoshi first felt a ridiculous amusement, and then thought to himself that Kaguya Otsutsuki was indeed a naive and innocent girl.

This woman is trying to understand, learn, and respond to complex human emotions in an extremely clumsy and almost childish way.

Just like when she read those books on "How to Manage a Husband," trying to imitate how to be a wife.

Her learning process was rigid, her understanding was straightforward, and her reactions lacked empathy.

But it is precisely this stiffness, bluntness, and lack of human touch that creates a unique charm that belongs only to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"So……"

Kiyoshi took another half step closer, and the two were so close that they could feel each other's body temperature and breath.

He reached out and gently brushed away a strand of hair damp with raindrops from beside her cheek.

"What if... I really am using this cloud to propose to you?"

"What will your answer be, Kaguya?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not flinch, letting his slightly warm fingers touch her cold cheek.

Then, she parted her red lips slightly and spoke in her usual serious tone:
My answer is, I agree.

"why are you laughing?"

A slight smile appeared on Kaguya Otsutsuki's lips.

"Smile, you're cute."

Kiyoshi said.

"cute?"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's pure white eyes were filled with confusion.

"That's a word humans use to describe young, harmless, and endearing creatures. I am Kaguya Otsutsuki, a being who has consumed the 'Chakra Fruit,' not a young creature, and certainly not cute."

"To me, you are."

Kiyoshi cupped her face in his hands, forcing her to look him in the eye.

Kiyoshi felt that Kaguya Otsutsuki was becoming more and more like a person.

In the original story, the Sage of Rokudos said that he could not feel his mother's heart.

Kiyoshi felt that this was somewhat understandable.

After all, Kaguya Otsutsuki had always been afraid of people from beyond the heavens.

On countless cold nights, all she could do was create legions like White Zetsu to increase her sense of security.

Of course, such behavior is tantamount to jumping around in the Sage of Six Paths' minefield.

Therefore, the Sage of Six Paths broke ties with Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"Father! Mother!"

A crisp, cheerful voice broke the subtle atmosphere between the two.

Otsutsuki Hako, like a lively little deer, rushed out of the house. Today she was wearing a pink and white dress, and her hair was tied into two round buns with light purple ribbons, bouncing as she ran.

When she saw the huge cloud floating above the courtyard, and her parents embracing beneath it, she gasped in surprise, her eyes wide with astonishment.
"Wow, what beautiful and huge clouds! Did Father make them? They look like cotton candy!"

She stretched out her little hand, trying to reach for the sky, but of course, it was all in vain.

She turned her head, looked at Kiyoshi, then at Kaguya Otsutsuki, and a sly smile of sudden realization appeared on her small face.

"Ah! I know! Father gave the cloud to Mother, just like in the storybook Yu Yu Zi read... that's called a marriage proposal, right?"

Even Hagoromo Otsutsuki knows this meme.

Kiyoshi chuckled, released Kaguya Otsutsuki, and bent down to easily pick up Haguya Otsutsuki, who had run over.

"You've been peeking at those storybooks again?"

"I wasn't peeking!"

Otsutsuki Haguro hugged Kiyoshi's neck, completely justified.

“It’s perfectly legitimate to watch, and Mother is watching too!”

She turned to Kaguya Otsutsuki, her eyes sparkling with childlike joy:
"Although it feels a bit strange, does this mean we're pregnant out of wedlock? But Mother, did you accept Father's proposal? Then you're officially husband and wife!"
The storybook says that after a successful proposal, there will be a grand wedding, with many, many people coming to congratulate them and eating lots and lots of delicious food!

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki looked at her daughter's excited little face, then at Kiyoshi's smiling eyes, and then, with utmost seriousness, as if confirming something important, nodded:
"Yes. I agree."

"Great!"

Otsutsuki Hako squirmed excitedly in Kiyoshi's arms, clapping her little hands.

"Congratulations, Father! Congratulations, Mother! Yu Yu is so happy!"

…………

Night falls, inside the bedroom.

Kiyoshi and Kaguya Otsutsuki lay side by side on the large, soft bed.

Kaguya Otsutsuki lay on her side, facing Kiyoshi.

A long, blue and white carpet covered the pillow beneath her, and she was only wearing a silk purple nightgown.

"Kaguya."

Kiyoshi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room.

"Ok?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki responded, her pure white eyes gleaming faintly in the darkness as she quietly looked at him.

"The fruit of the divine tree is almost ripe."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes widened slightly, though only slightly, but Kiyoshi caught a fleeting glimpse of surprise:
"So fast?"

Not much time had actually passed since they ate the half fruit.

According to the common knowledge of the Otsutsuki clan, it takes an extremely long time for the Divine Tree to take root on a planet, absorb chakra, and bear a complete "Chakra Fruit," often measured in hundreds or thousands of years.

Even if this planet has an exceptionally abundant natural energy, it shouldn't be moving this fast.

"I improved the barrier."

Kiyoshi explained, his hand naturally resting on her waist, feeling her delicate yet supple touch through the thin silk nightgown.

His hand gently caressed her waist, feeling the alluring curves, then slowly slid down to her plump, pert buttocks, giving them a light pat.

Snapped.

The crisp sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

Beneath the silky fabric, the soft flesh of her buttocks trembled slightly, and an amazing elasticity was reflected back through her palms.

"Such efficiency."

Kiyoshi's voice was low as he spoke in her ear.

"Isn't this much better than the old way of passively waiting and slowly absorbing knowledge?"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's body trembled slightly.

She did not resist; in fact, she slightly adjusted her posture to get closer to Kiyoshi, with almost no gap between their bodies.

She looked up, her pure white eyes now clearly reflecting Kiyoshi's face so close to hers.

"Yes."

She answered briefly, her tone still flat, but Kiyoshi keenly noticed a subtle change in the rhythm of her breathing, which became longer and more... alluring.

"A complete Chakra Fruit..."

Kiyoshi's hands began to roam over her body, sliding from her supple waist to her flat, firm abdomen, his fingertips tracing circles as he felt the coolness and smoothness of her skin. (End of Chapter)
