I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 218 I'll Help You, Giant Reincarnation Eye Obtained

"I never imagined that our chakra came from this."

After watching the montage of chakra and the birth of Ninjutsu, Orochimaru sighed with a complex expression.

The myth is correct; chakra was indeed distributed to the world by the Sage of Six Paths.

However, the Sage of Six Paths was not the originator of chakra.

Above him was Kaguya Otsutsuki from outer space, and the man who was betrayed by Kaguya Otsutsuki, whose status seemed to be even higher than Kaguya Otsutsuki's.

Moreover, the fact that the two were companions clearly indicated their status, which made Orochimaru think of a possibility.

He looked at Yagyu and asked, "Yagyu-kun, do you know the background of those two people?"

"I know a little bit about it."

Yagyu nodded, half-jokingly saying, "Their surname is Otsutsuki. They are a powerful alien race whose physical bodies can traverse the universe. Their duty is to search for planets full of life like Earth in the vast universe, then come and plant the Divine Tree, and return to their homeland with the chakra fruits."

"It's just that for some reason, Kaguya Otsutsuki fell out with her superiors and betrayed them and her homeland at a crucial moment. She ate the Chakra Fruit and became the progenitor of chakra on Earth."

"But her actions will eventually be known to the main family and higher-ups, and at that time, new members of the Otsutsuki clan will surely come to Earth."

"Perhaps that's why she separated her chakra to create the Sage of Six Paths and his brother. Later, perhaps because of a conflict with the Sage of Six Paths or because she felt her strength had weakened and regretted it, she wanted to use Infinite Tsukuyomi to retrieve the chakra she had separated, but she was sealed away by her two sons."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru's pupils contracted slightly: "So, Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Otsutsuki aren't the end. Will you face new enemies, Yagyu-kun?"

"Not me, but us."

Yagyu smiled and said, "Chakra has been around for thousands of years. Now Earth has recovered to the point where it can produce a second Chakra Fruit. Once the Otsutsuki clan from outer space arrives here and discovers that Kaguya Otsutsuki's team failed and that someone stole the Chakra Fruit, they will definitely launch a purge of this planet, eliminating all people who possess chakra, and then replant the Divine Tree."

Orochimaru's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

After all, anyone who knows that they might be killed by extraterrestrial visitors one day would feel incredibly heavy-hearted.

In other words, Orochimaru has a strong mental fortitude. If the weaker members of the Allied Shinobi Forces knew this, they would probably be terrified on the spot.

After all, they had witnessed the power of the Six Paths level, a power that no human could possibly possess.

The pure-blooded members of the Ōtsutsuki clan are like gods to them.

One day, such a deity might descend at any moment, and might even cleanse the ninja world and eliminate ninjas with chakra. Anyone who hears this will have trouble sleeping.

If the Otsutsuki clan arrives a year from now, then we should be afraid for a while and prepare ourselves mentally.

The real fear is that we have no idea when the Otsutsuki clan will arrive.

It could be tomorrow, or it could be a month, or even a year, ten years, or a hundred years from now...

Such uncertainty only makes people feel uneasy.

"What do you need me to do for you?" Orochimaru asked, looking at Yagyu, while also feeling a rare moment of self-doubt.

The war just ended yesterday, and Yagyu came to see him today.

This means that Yagyu only told the truth about this world to a few people, or even just to him.

Orochimaru did not believe that Yagyu would tell him such world-shaking information for no reason.

At the same time, Orochimaru was somewhat flattered.

With his limited abilities, does he even deserve to know these things?

Is that kind of other-dimensional power something someone of his level can interfere with?

In response, Yagyu chuckled and said, "I hope Lord Orochimaru can return to Konoha, establish a science department, take charge of the original Root organization, continue to use your talents, and incidentally help me manage Konoha."

After saying that, Yagyu said with a solemn expression, "I suspect that the guy who came to Earth with Kaguya Otsutsuki may not be completely dead yet."

"What?!"

Orochimaru's expression changed drastically. "He was eaten by the Ten-Tails and he's still alive? Really?"

"That's what I originally thought too."

Yagyu said in a deep voice, "However, when I released the Infinite Tsukuyomi, there was a fleeting chakra within the white light that enveloped the whole world."

"This means that there is still one person in the world who has not been affected by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and he did not expect the Infinite Tsukuyomi to be lifted so quickly. He did not have time to dodge the white light of the Infinite Tsukuyomi, and I just happened to sense it."

"That thing seemed to appear out of thin air and then disappear just as suddenly, which means that it hid in another dimension."

"Anyone who has the ability to evade the Infinite Tsukuyomi and remain unharmed while in the Infinite Tsukuyomi must be an existence of equal caliber. Unless the Sage of Six Paths is resurrected, only the person who came to Earth with Kaguya Otsutsuki could do it."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru breathed a slight sigh of relief and said thoughtfully, "If it really is that person, then it means that although the other party is not dead, they are seriously injured and have not yet recovered."

"After all, Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away a thousand years ago. If her injuries had healed, with that other-dimensional power, she could have completely cleansed this world after the Sage of Six Paths died, but she did not do so."

"This means that he is either still seriously injured or his strength has been severely reduced. He is no match for the Sage of Six Paths, let alone Hashirama, or even the combined strength of the five great ninja villages."

After listening to Orochimaru's analysis, Yagyu couldn't help but show an expression of appreciation and said, "You're right, that's what I thought too."

"So, given the uncertainty of whether the Otsutsuki clan from outer space will continue to send people over, that mysterious figure is the hypothetical enemy that must be eliminated."

"Once the ninja world stabilizes, I will explore various alternate dimensions to find where that guy is hiding."

"I see."

Orochimaru seemed to realize something, then smiled faintly and said, "In that case, I'll lend you a hand, Yagyu-kun."

"However, I am, after all, the murderer of the Third Hokage. Even if your strength has reached the level of the strongest being in history, I'm afraid it won't change those people's opinion of me. How about I change my face and go back with you?"

"Need not."

Yagyu shook his head, a playful smile on his face: "Everyone believes that the army resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation technique in this war was the work of Akatsuki's Tenzo. All we need to do is pin the blame on that guy. I will give you credit for undoing the Impure World Reincarnation technique, so you can return to Konoha and atone for your sins."

"At that time, I will also clear your name and expose the crimes of Shimura Danzo and the Elder Council. If you wish, I can also expose the deeds of the Third Hokage."

Seeing that Yagyu had already arranged everything for him, Orochimaru couldn't help but smile slightly.

After hearing his last sentence, he looked thoughtful, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, that old man has already paid the price for everything he did."

Orochimaru killed Hiruzen Sarutobi because he wanted to stir up trouble in Konoha.

He didn't actually harbor much hatred towards the teacher who had mentored him; he simply admired the teacher's fighting prowess and courage in his youth and couldn't stand his cowardice in his old age.

The current Hiruzen Sarutobi is not only dead, but his entire clan is also dead.

There's no need to ruin this mentor's reputation any further.

"Then get ready, I'll come pick you up in three days."

After Liu Sheng left these words, numerous cracks appeared in the space behind him, quickly forming a black portal.

Meanwhile, Yagyu's figure floated into the air and flew backward into the black portal.

Orochimaru's expression turned grave as he watched the black portal disappear.

This solemnity was not directed at Yagyu's strength or ability.

Instead, it reminded him of what Yagyu had just said.

This level of space-time ninjutsu is probably a standard ability of the Otsutsuki clan, just like their ability to fly.

If that's the case, then the opponent is in an invincible position.

Apart from Yagyu, no one else had the ability to kill a member of the Otsutsuki clan.

"It seems this savior is truly about to be recognized," Orochimaru couldn't help but remark.

After a conversation, Orochimaru saw through Yagyu's true nature.

A flawless version after careful inspection!

He hasn't changed at all; he's still the same Yagyu.

Even though his strength far surpassed mine by countless times, he still addressed me with a respectful title, showing himself to be a very polite young man.

At the same time, he had no intention of ruling the ninja world.

Because his vision has been elevated to beyond planets, into the universe.

My previous thought of discarding Liu Sheng after he had served his purpose was actually a case of underestimating him.

With that thought in mind, Orochimaru lowered his guard and prepared to pack his things to return to Konoha.

He is willing to lend Yagyu a hand!

------

Moon.

Whether it's due to human intervention or because Hamura Otsutsuki modified this place with Yin-Yang Release, it's not a vacuum; it's filled with oxygen and also has gravity.

If you look closely, you'll also find abandoned cities on land.

Furthermore, there is a small artificial sun above the moon.

If you could see through it, you would find that inside the artificial sun, there are several landmasses of varying sizes.

On the largest of the landmasses stands a palace.

This palace was the residence of the high-ranking members of the Otsutsuki clan who had migrated to the moon, and it was also the burial ground of the Otsutsuki clan.

Originally, a large number of Otsutsuki clan members lived inside this artificial moon and artificial sun.

After thousands of years of reproduction, the Otsutsuki clan has a very large number of members, as can be seen from the cities on land.

At the same time, based on the purity of bloodline and differences in thought, the main family and branch families were distinguished.

This difference in thinking stemmed from the last words of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, which were misunderstood by both the main family and the branch family.

Different understandings caused the originally united Otsutsuki clan to become divided, leading to conflict that escalated over time.

Ultimately, the family split up and took an extreme approach: all the clan members offered up their Byakugan, which merged to form a giant Tenseigan, and used the power of the supreme eye technique to destroy the main family.

But after this battle, very few members of the divided family remained.

Those who were born without eyes may have regretted it, felt guilty, or had other reasons that caused them to become ill both physically and mentally, and eventually they all died. Only one child was left who was born without eyes, but whose bloodline purity surpassed that of the main family, almost a child who had reverted to his ancestral ways.

Now, the child has grown into a teenager and lives in a palace inside an artificial sun.

This boy's name is—Otsutsuki Toneri.

"The world created by the Sage of Six Paths is indeed a failed world."

At this moment, Otsutsuki Toneri held a purple gem in his hand. His chakra was connected to the Tenseigan hidden in the clan hall through the purple gem. His terrifying far-sightedness projected from the moon to the earth, watching the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War. The Land of Rain, which had been reduced to a wasteland, said, "Even if we win by chance this time, this scene will repeat itself sooner or later after that guy dies."

"However, that guy is too strong. I'll wait until I have more chakra before restarting the ninja world."

When he spoke the last sentence, the handsome Otsutsuki Toneri's face was filled with solemnity.

But the next second, Otsutsuki Toneri, who was sitting on the throne in the palace, suddenly lost his footing and fell downwards like a falling object.

The terrifying heat swept over us from below.

At the same time, the connection between the purple gem and the giant Tenseigan was instantly severed.

"What's going on?!"

Otsutsuki Toneri let out an incredulous scream, but the only response he received was the churning lava below.

Having lost his enormous Tenseigan, Toneri Otsutsuki not only lost his sight but also his immense power, leaving him with only a vast amount of chakra that was no weaker than that of a Sage.

Unfortunately, he cannot fly.

So his body quickly fell into the lava lake and was instantly swallowed up.

If only the amount of chakra were increased and a pair of Byakugan of extremely high purity were found for transplantation, it would only take a few days to awaken the supreme eye technique on par with the Rinnegan. Otsutsuki Toneri, who was known as the last hope of the Otsutsuki clan's branch family, died just like that.

Throughout the entire process, Liu Sheng never met or spoke a single word to this person who, according to an ancient agreement, could be considered his "love rival."

Because Otsutsuki Toneri is not worthy.

After using Amanokinaka to throw Otsutsuki Toneri into the lava space, Yagyu, who had traveled from Earth to the moon using Yomotsu Hirasaka, appeared on a small landmass not far from the palace.

On this land stands a shrine.

However, what is enshrined inside is not an ancestor, but a giant Tenseigan that is bound by a spell and subjected to various spells, and whose power can only be used by members of the Otsutsuki clan.

Flying out of the black portal, Yagyu ignored this restriction and used his unique eye technique, Outer Path Maru, to create a small black hole, devouring the entire contents of the giant Tenseigan and making it his own.
