Crossover: A Different Inuyasha.

Chapter 137 The First Celestial Maiden

Under the moonlight, the village of Amegakure shed its perennial gloom, revealing a clear, almost transparent night sky.

The sparse yet bright starlight fell upon the clearing that had been leveled by magic, casting a faint silver-gray sheen onto the patterns of the Five Elements and Four Symbols magic array.

The spiritual light in the center of the magic array receded by most, leaving only a few thin veins of light flowing slowly along the direction of the array patterns.

Inuyasha stood with his hands behind his back in front of the magic circle. Behind him, several figures stood in a staggered pattern. Alkade stood in the center in front; Qin Fang stood on the left with his arms crossed; and Tetsuya transformed into a beautiful woman with black hair and red eyes, standing on the right.

The three heavenly generals of the first three of the Eight Divisions of Yama are arranged according to their respective positions.

Although Zhu Ran Yicha possessed the strength of a Celestial Venerable, her status was insufficient, so she could only work alongside the other Celestial Generals and their deputies, managing the troops.

Inuyasha said, "The resistance forces in the Divine Tree World have all collapsed. Allocate your manpower to ensure the safety of the people."

.

"The subsequent procedures are the same as before; the Shinto Society will send personnel over."

"If there are not enough people, notify the immortals of the three holy lands."

"Afterwards, Yura will report your achievements to the shrine. Go back to your work."

Three voices fell, "Yes, sir!"

Having anticipated this, Alcard turned and strode toward the camp.

Qin Fang followed behind him, glancing sideways at the increasingly vibrant ten-tailed husk in the center of the magic circle, before striding away.

The aura emanating from this demonic tree felt increasingly like that of Kagami Kuya.

Iron Rooster strutted along with its long legs, its hair, which reached almost to its heels, fluttering in the wind. It raised its chin at the demon birds, including Abhi, which it was swarming below, before taking flight and disappearing into the moonlight.

The open space fell silent again.

Only the light veins of the magic circle were still flowing slowly, and the figure standing beside Inuyasha, never moving an inch.

Kagami Kuya's hands were folded and hanging down, her face turned to the side, the moonlight falling on her beautiful face.

In terms of looks alone, she's still stunning.

Inuyasha turned his head, his gaze falling on the demoness's face. He put his arm around her slender waist and said softly, "You've worked hard."

Kagaya leaned closer to him, lowering her eyes. "Just words?"

"You can ask for anything."

Moonlight spread between the two, casting their shadows long and thin, which fell upon the lingering spiritual light at the edge of the Five Elements and Four Symbols magic array.

A few days later, in the same open space.

The daytime sunlight poured down from the sky, illuminating every line of the Five Elements and Four Symbols magic array clearly.

Nine tailed beast chakra clusters floated above the magic circle, each a different color, their light intertwining in the sunlight to form a slowly rotating halo.

They have been stripped of their consciousness, leaving only their purest form of energy, and are converging along the magic array, like stars drawn by the tides, gathering towards the center.

With a ruddy complexion, Kaguya stood above the magic circle, her hands forming a mudra, the spiritual light at her fingertips interlocking with the light of the magic circle.

Her clothes were lifted by spiritual energy, and the ends of her hair were slightly raised in the air currents.

His calm eyes reflected the closing of the tailed beast's light cluster and the ten-tailed beast's body below.

She exhaled softly, and the constantly moving fingertips settled into a fixed pattern.

The nine beams of light sank down and disappeared one by one into the face of the ten-tailed unicorn's body.

In that instant, the light of the magic circle suddenly surged, and the Ten-Tails' body began to change in the light—it slowly stretched out from its lotus seat posture, and the dry, cracked wood texture became full again under the infusion of chakra, like a withered tree regaining its vitality in spring rain.

The branches extend outwards from both sides of the trunk, climbing towards the sky.

The leaves unfurled on the branches, their edges shimmering with a delicate golden sheen, sparkling in the sunlight.

The trunk is as thick as an ancient pagoda, and its roots are deeply embedded in the rock strata below the magic circle. The patterns on the bark climb upwards along the texture of the bark until the top bursts open as if bathed in sunlight.

A towering divine tree rose from the ground in the open space of Rain Village, its canopy spreading out like a giant umbrella, enveloping the land within a radius of several miles in a warm, dappled mix of shadow and light.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, scattering golden glitter across the ground, swaying gently in the breeze.

Inuyasha flew into the sky, gazing at the divine tree that was stretching its branches and leaves in the sunlight, and glanced at Kaguya, who was casting a spell to the side.

As the divine tree grew, the aura surrounding the Heavenly Palace Demoness became even more profound than before.

The change was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible, yet it did not escape his perception.

After the Ten-Tails God Tree took shape, a portion of its power seemed to be diverted and sank into her body.

To be more precise, their auras are almost identical.

Shinkuya hung his hands, his expression one of elation.

She knew that as soon as Inuyasha arrived, the scent of the Divine Tree wouldn't escape his keen nose. She had used all her skills these past few nights to finally convince him to hand the Divine Tree over to her.

As long as it's not a matter of principle, Inuyasha is willing to turn a blind eye to what his women have achieved through their own abilities on the grand platform of the Eastern Kingdom.

After all, the sacred tree is still in the pot.

Even though his initial idea was to let the Chaos Pearl devour the Divine Tree and then nourish the Divine Tree to strengthen Gensokyo.

But considering that Otsutsuki Isshiki has a second head and a ten-tailed fox, it wouldn't hurt to give up this one.

He could also enjoy the rare opportunity to be served by the celestial female demon.

"Among all the stars in the sky, the Divine Tree World is one of the few extraordinary worlds that can exist at the level of a Celestial Venerable. It would be a waste to simply entrust it to the Divine Tree to absorb the life force of the planet."

Inuyasha looked at Kaguya approaching and said, "Have the Onmyōryō and the Mystic Arts unite to establish a new interdepartmental organization, the Life Planet Exploration Department. Their sole purpose will be to search for low-level, non-magical planets as a source of nourishment for the Divine Tree."

The universe is so vast that there must be some empty planets without intelligent life, which is much more worthwhile than destroying extraordinary worlds.

As for the slow or slightly inferior quality of the Chakra Fruit produced by the Divine Tree, those are issues that can be improved later.

Inuyasha, a transmigrator from the land of China, still felt a pang of reluctance to part with some of the fertile and nurturing "land".

Knowing what men were thinking, Kagami Kuya answered decisively, "I understand."

Her gaze shifted, then she turned to the side and raised her hand toward the towering divine tree.

The moment the fingertips touched the surface of the tree trunk, the outline of the divine tree began to shrink.

The branches and leaves curled back layer by layer, and the roots slowly pulled themselves out of the rock layer. When the thick roots left the ground, they brought up small clods of soil and gravel, raising a light mist of dust.

In a few breaths, the entire giant tree transformed into a thin stream of light, which flowed along Kagura's fingertips and into her body.

After the sacred tree disappeared, only a shallow ring of marks remained on the open ground, the marks left by the roots, which shimmered with a damp, dark hue in the sunlight.

Inuyasha observed the demoness's aura; in terms of sheer power, it was no less than that of Kikyo, who had been worshipped for decades.

Among the Eastern Kingdoms, only Kikyo remains unassuming, yet her strength is second to third.

Incidentally, Sesshomaru, Toga, and Midori are also aiming for second place.

And of course, he is number one.

Er Gouzi asked, "How does it feel to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki?"

Unlike Obito Uchiha and Madara Uchiha, who were shown in their Six Paths form in the original story, Kaguya's appearance did not change much after she cleared away the excess will and aura of the God Tree.

Her face remained beautiful, and her jet-black hair fell to her waist, with a faint, dark golden sheen at the ends.

The eyes were similar in color to the Rinnegan, but without the circular patterns.

"It's alright."

Kaguya gave Inuyasha a seductive look. "Why don't you infuse your source energy into it?"

Those delicate eyebrows and eyes ignited Inuyasha's anger, but he was busy with important matters and couldn't vent his frustration.

The female demon teased the dog for a moment, then reached into her sleeve with her other hand and took out a ring-shaped magical artifact about the size of a palm, its entire body gleaming with a dark purple light.

This is a powerful spiritual weapon, improved by the two of them, with two Rinnegan as its core and intricate magical patterns flowing across its surface.

She held the spirit artifact in her palm, the light rising from the ring, her voice steady, "Next is the summoning of Kaguya Otsutsuki."

According to Black Zetsu's original plan, a vessel needed to be prepared first, namely, Madara Uchiha becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki and activating the Rinne Sharingan to unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi, so as to have the chakra foundation and ocular jutsu conditions to bear Kaguya's resurrection.

Then, through Infinite Tsukuyomi and the Divine Tree, it absorbs the chakra of all humans in the ninja world to replenish the energy lost when Kaguya was sealed.

Then, Black Absolute launched a sneak attack on Uchiha Madara, and Madara's body swelled and mutated due to excessive absorption of chakra.

Ultimately, it was transformed into Kaguya Otsutsuki's original form, thus completing her "resurrection".

But given Kaguya's power, it's clearly unnecessary to go through such trouble.

Inuyasha sat down on a low rock beside him, resting his chin on one hand, his gaze fixed on Kaguya, without interfering.

The simplest way is to go directly to the moon, unseal Kaguya Otsutsuki, and beat her into submission with a big stick.

But once his wife has an idea, he rarely does anything troublesome.

We're staying here now only to prevent the worst from happening.

Kagura raised the Rinnegan artifact to the height of her brow, imbuing it with her source energy. A dark purple light flowed around her body, then converged in her direction, connecting her aura with the artifact into a single cycle.

The next moment, she raised her other hand, fingers spread, palm facing up.

An invisible ripple spread out from her palm, extending in all directions along the ground.

With the Ten-Tails God Tree as the "cause," Kaguya Otsutsuki, who once ate the chakra fruit of this God Tree, was the "effect."

Inuyasha sensed an aura being forcibly drawn from an extremely distant place, following some kind of causal line, crossing the barriers of space and time, and covering the direction where Kaguya was.

It was like a rope being slowly pulled up from deep water, with something heavy tied to its end.

Inuyasha's gaze fell on Kaguya's face. Her eyelashes were lowered, her lips were slightly pursed, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She suddenly opened her eyes. A blurry figure appeared behind her.

At first, it was just a blurry outline, like a shadow shrouded in moisture, but it gradually solidified and became clearer.

This is a woman.

Her face was as cold and aloof as frost, her brows were relaxed, and although she had no eyebrows, it did not diminish her elegance and dignified bearing in the slightest.

Her skin was as pale as fresh snow, and her long blue and white hair cascaded down from the top of her head, reaching her ankles, and swayed slightly in the air.

A pair of slender white horns grew on her forehead, and her open eyes were pure white eyes. In the center of her forehead, a nine-tomoe Sharingan was glowing with dark red light.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's soul hovered behind Kaguya, her hands hanging naturally at her sides, as if she had awakened from a long period of time, her eyes filled with a bewildered look of not being fully awakened.

Kaguya could sense that Kaguya's soul was merging into her body, trying to bite, entwine, and embed itself with her aura.

That was Kaguya Otsutsuki's instinctive reaction after her will was awakened.

She was looking for a vessel to cling to, a vessel large enough to carry her back to the mortal world.

It's time!

The female demon who had once devoured the celestial maiden and replaced her in everything felt a stirring in her heart.

The light on the surface of the Rinnegan artifact suddenly shone brightly for a moment, then transformed into six thin streams of light that climbed up her arm and disappeared into Kaguya's soul behind her.

Like chains binding them together.

"Who are you? How did you resurrect me? Where is Black Zetsu?"

Awakened by the anomaly, Kaguya's soul looked at the current strange changes with a horrified expression and asked a series of questions that went unanswered.

Kaguya clasped her hands together, interlacing her fingers. The moment the mudra was formed at her fingertips, the spiritual energy in the open space poured out from her and towards Kaguya's struggling soul.

Kaguya's soul solidified in the light.

Almost instantly, she raised her right hand, white light suddenly gathering between her five fingers. Before her intention to retaliate against Shen Jiuye's face could take shape, Shen Jiuye's mind had already stirred.

The chains of light binding Kaguya's soul suddenly tightened, embedding themselves deep within her illusory form like living things, locking away every surge of power.

The white light at Kaguya's fingertips dissipated instantly, and her entire body froze in mid-air, unable to even tremble involuntarily.

The chains finally converged, compressed, and solidified at the center of her brow, turning into a crimson mark like cinnabar driven into her lifeline.

Kaguya's expression shifted from shock to rage, a vein throbbing slightly on her forehead, her voice barely containing the fury of a volcano, "What have you done to me!?"

Shen Jiuye slowly withdrew his hands from the hand seal, interlacing his fingers and letting them hang down in front of his abdomen, but then his mind stirred again.

Kaguya's body involuntarily leaned forward slightly, and a short, soft meow escaped from her throat.

"Meow----"

The voice, though clear and cold, trembled with a hint of shame, creating a stark contrast with her icy expression.

Kaguya's pupils suddenly contracted, a mixture of shame, anger, and horror flashing across her face. The red dot on her forehead completely suppressed any resistance she might have shown.

Kaguya then turned to the side with satisfaction, her gaze, tinged with a hint of smugness, falling on Inuyasha sitting on the low rock. She raised her chin, her tone revealing undisguised pride.

"This is my first celestial maiden, the Goddess of the Rabbit. How about it, obedient enough?"

Inuyasha watched the whole thing, and upon hearing this, he raised an eyebrow. His gaze lingered on Kaguya's angry and stiff face for a moment before returning to Kaguya's smiling face.

"Well done. But are you sure she's not secretly cursing you?"

Kagami Kuya snorted softly, her eyes darting around. "So what if she curses? With her brow furrowed, she can't even muster a thought."
