Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

His tone was not noticeably uneven, but Shiranui could still detect a hint of dissatisfaction in it.

That's true.

Several months have passed since he last left Kaguya Otsutsuki.

If it weren't for the two rabbit hair needles still stuck in the back of his head, he would have almost forgotten that he had ever met Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The reason is simple: he is extremely busy on weekdays.

If his spiritualization technique hadn't been stalled for so long, he estimated he would have had to wait until the last two rabbit hair needles were used up before coming to the moon to replenish them.

"Come on, look at the good stuff I brought you."

Shiranui Sho avoided Otsutsuki Kaguya's question and held up the bags in her hands.

The topic shifted abruptly, but Kaguya Otsutsuki's attention was genuinely diverted.

Her gaze shifted from Shiranui's face to the bag in his hand.

Her delicate, jade-like nose twitched.

"A sweet smell, what's in there?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki stared at one of the square boxes.

"A true expert!"

Shiranui Sho grinned.

He knew that his request to Kaguya Otsutsuki was now settled!

Chapter 83: Kaguya's Explanation! The Wedge and the Soul!

Shiranui Sho quickly opened the box, revealing a row of neatly strung tricolor dumplings.

"This is the famous three-color dumpling of Konoha. This is the most luxurious gift box set. It is even better when served with red bean soup."

Kaguya stretched out her fair and slender right hand, picked up a string of pearls, and examined it closely.

Pink, white, and green.

It looks quite good, at least.

Kaguya slightly opened her mouth and stuffed the pink dumpling into it.

Her cheeks puffed out slightly, revealing a soft, rounded shape, and she didn't even notice the faint pink syrup on the corners of her lips.

The taste is also good.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's gaze softened.

The dissatisfaction in my heart because I didn't know that Huo Xiao hadn't visited for a long time also quietly dissipated.

Then she tried red bean soup.

They're even better together, no doubt about it, they didn't lie to me.

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded slightly to Sho Shiranui with satisfaction.

She can survive without eating, otherwise she would have starved to death in this sealed space long ago.

But not needing to eat doesn't mean you don't like to eat; those are two different things.

If you have a sense of taste, you will have food preferences.

For a thousand years, her mouth had tasted bland, so this sudden sweetness undoubtedly struck a chord with Kaguya.

"What is that? It has a... floral scent?"

Kaguya then noticed another small object.

"This is a sachet made of dried flowers. Life is extinguished in this sealed space, so perhaps you will like to add some floral fragrance."

Shiranui Sho handed over the sachet.

Kaguya Otsutsuki took it and held it in front of her, her nose twitching slightly.

It smells somewhat different from the scent of fresh flowers, but it's still very pleasant.

I haven't smelled this fragrance in a thousand years...

"Thank you."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes flickered slightly as she spoke softly.

Even a thousand years ago, no one had ever cared for her in such a way.

At that time, Min Xin was a bandit leader, and he also distanced himself from her after the incident.

She had no one to confide in about her inner worries and fears.

"It's OK."

Shiranui Sho was surprised for a moment, but her expression quickly returned to calm.

There doesn't seem to be anything unusual about Kaguya Otsutsuki thanking him.

Among the Otsutsuki clan, she was the most humane.

At present, Shiranui Xiao has no conflict with her and is the only person who can chat with her to relieve her boredom.

Kaguya carefully tucked the sachet into her sleeve, her beautiful eyes continuing to search with curiosity.

"What are those cup-like things?"

"this?"

As Shiranui Sho took something out of the bag, she explained, "This is cup noodles, a type of instant food."

"Just pour in hot water, and once the noodles have softened, you can eat them directly."

"That way, when I'm not here, if you want to eat it, you can just make it yourself, which is very convenient."

"..."

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't reply, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

After a few seconds of silence, she shook her head and said, "I don't like this. You can take it back."

"I don't like it, this..."

Shiranui Sou was slightly taken aback.

As he was about to speak, he noticed Kaguya Otsutsuki's slightly resistant expression and realized something.

He then smiled and said, "How about we make some instant noodles together every time I come here?"

This time, Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded and said, "Okay."

Shiranui Sho's suspicions were confirmed.

Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't resisting instant noodles, but rather the long, lonely journey.

What she really cared about wasn't what to eat, but whether there was anyone to chat with and keep her company in this lonely space.

"That's... a snow rabbit?"

Kaguya beckoned with her finger, and the plush rabbit in the bag floated up and landed in her hand.

Her eyes seemed to shine, and her right hand gently stroked the soft fur of the rabbit doll.

It's clear that she really likes this doll.

"Did you buy all these things in that place called Konoha?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly asked a question.

Shiranui Sho nodded and said, "That's right."

"Konoha is a really nice place, with so many interesting things."

Kaguya Otsutsuki's tone was full of approval.

“I remember you said last time that there are five great ninja villages in the world, and Konoha is one of them.”

"After I leave, Konoha shall continue to worship me, and I will appoint you as the new Kage."

"Five ninja villages are too many. It's enough if only my Konoha ninja village exists."

Shiranui Sho was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "What about the other four great ninja villages?"

Kaguya said calmly, "They will become the White Zetsu Legion and serve me."

Upon hearing this, Shiranui Sou silently mourned for the four great ninja villages.

Kaguya Otsutsuki still hasn't forgotten her White Zetsu army.

Furthermore, under the influence of Shiranui Sho, Otsutsuki Kaguya seems to have a good impression of Konoha.

It's already being referred to as "My Konoha".

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't mention how the daimyo of each country would be dealt with in her words, nor did Sho Shiranui ask about it.

Kaguya has already appeared; do these daimyo still want to remain daimyo?

However, Kaguya's words made Shiranui Sho quite gratified.

It seems his efforts in chatting and giving gifts were not in vain.

Kaguya Otsutsuki hadn't forgotten to appoint him Hokage after he left.

Now that the gifts have been given, it's time to get down to business.

Shiranui Sou smiled and said, "Goddess of the Rabbit, about my learning the Spirit Transformation Technique..."

"Spiritualization Technique?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki asked in confusion.

So, Shiranui Xiao explained the art of spirit transformation and the confusion she had encountered in her cultivation.

Kaguya Otsutsuki, unusually, fell into deep thought.

She didn't speak, and neither did Shiranui Sho; they simply waited quietly.

After a long while, Kaguya looked at him again, a solemn expression appearing in her pure white eyes.

She said softly, "This matter was originally a secret of our Otsutsuki clan, but since it is you, there is no harm in telling you."

Upon hearing this, Shiranui Sho's expression turned serious.

Under his gaze, Kaguya Otsutsuki uttered a single word in a soft voice.

"wedge."

"Wedge?"

Shiranui Sou frowned slightly.

Kaguya Otsutsuki continued.

"Karma is a unique ability of the Otsutsuki clan, which allows them to replicate themselves and implant them into a host body called a 'vessel'."

"When the wedge is completely thawed, the Ōtsutsuki will come back to life on the vessel."

"But once the Ōtsutsuki soul associated with it is lost, it will lose this ability to reincarnate."

Shiranui Sho said thoughtfully, "So, the key to the Karma lies in the soul?"

"That's right."

Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded.

If the other party can understand quickly, she can save herself the trouble of explaining.

"The really important thing is a part of the soul, which, according to your planet's terminology, might be called 'truth'."

Another new word.

The difference is that this term was not mentioned in the original work.

Or rather, the Otsutsuki clan did not use the word "true" to describe this part of the soul.

This term was used by Kaguya Otsutsuki based on her understanding of the cultures of other planets.

“The ‘true’ part of the soul is the smallest unit representing the true self, and it is also the anchor point for identifying the soul of the Otsutsuki.”
