I, Uchiha Yu, am solely focused on cultivating immortality

Chapter 414 Kaguya Otsutsuki Was Not a Good Mother

Seeing Kaguya Otsutsuki's nervousness, Uchiha Yu's thoughts were:

What does something that happens a thousand years from now have to do with Uchiha Yu?

A thousand years later, he and Miwa Masayo will definitely return to their original timeline, and they will have no chance to meet the Otsutsuki from this timeline.

Even if he were to go to war with the Otsutsuki clan, that would be something that happens after he returns, and it would have nothing to do with this timeline.

But for now, Uchiha Yuu has to stay here, so the most important thing is to appease Kaguya and prevent her from going crazy.

So he asked, "Kaguya, what are you planning to do?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki replied, "I will create a massive army, and then, with my sons, lead this powerful army to wage war against the Otsutsuki clan."

Uchiha Yu frowned: "Build an army? What kind of army could participate in a war of this scale?"

"Instead of creating a useless army, you should focus on improving your own strength..."

Suddenly, Uchiha Yu couldn't continue speaking; he had guessed what kind of army Kaguya was going to create.

[Holy crap, it's White Zetsu! She wants a brainless army of White Zetsu!]

Kaguya shook her head and said, "The army I want is different. I want the Divine Tree to expand its root system, and use the root system of the Divine Tree to transform humans into my army."

"This will be an indestructible army; even the Otsutsuki clan members won't be able to defeat them so easily."

"As long as I have enough troops, I will be able to buy myself time to defeat those who come to kill me."

Uchiha Yu shook his head repeatedly: "You're wrong. If they are just humans who haven't mastered chakra, no matter how they are modified, they can't become a powerful army."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's expression turned cold, and her voice became as icy as snow: "Mr. Yu, do you really think that the army created according to my ideas is not strong enough?"

"Or do you, like Yu Yi, feel that doing this is too cruel?"

"Huh?" Uchiha Yu asked in surprise, "Hagoromo is upset with you because he thinks it's too cruel of you to use humans as materials?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not answer, but her gloomy expression and depressed mood gave Yuu Uchiha a definite answer.

Uchiha Yu smiled and said, "Using humans as materials is certainly cruel, but the key issue isn't whether it's cruel or not, but that your ideas are worthless."

Kaguya's expression softened, and she murmured, "Value..."

Uchiha Yu continued, "Yes, as far as I know, you have a strong control over the Divine Tree, and the Divine Tree's extraction of the world's origin is relatively gentle, at least not the kind that drains the pond to catch all the fish."

Kaguya nodded and said, "You're right, this is my home, and I won't destroy it carelessly."

Uchiha Yu said, "But the other Otsutsuki will never consider this place their home. Putting aside the extent of the damage the war will cause, after defeating you, they will definitely exploit this world to the bone, quickly turning it into a desolate wasteland."

"In other words, if we are defeated, the entire world will be destroyed, no human being will survive, and not even any animal or plant will survive."

"Since such terrible consequences will result from defeat, any means are permissible in order to achieve victory, and there is no need to consider the issue of cruelty."

Uchiha Yu looked at Otsutsuki Kaguya: "When everything is for survival, there is only one question to consider: whether the price paid will yield enough value."

"And your proposed method of sacrificing humanity, no matter how I look at it, could never generate enough value."

Kaguya's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, but remained tense: "Then what should we do? Rely on the five of us to fight the Otsutsuki clan?"

Uchiha Yu suggested, "Release your control over chakra and spread it among humans, allowing them to cultivate using chakra."

Kaguya asked, bewildered, "Making humans cultivate using chakra... isn't that similar to hanging humans on the Divine Tree and modifying them with chakra and the Divine Tree's essence? And it probably wouldn't be as stable and effective as the Divine Tree, would it?"

Uchiha Yu nodded and said, "The God Tree's modification efficiency is indeed very high and stable, but what you need now is not a stable basic combat unit, but a powerful force that can break through the limit."

"How powerful do you think the Divine Tree can create? Could it reach the level of Hagoromo and Hamura from 100 years ago?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately shook her head: "Impossible. My child, though not a complete Otsutsuki, is still a very powerful warrior."

"Humans are just humans. Even if they are modified by the God Tree with chakra, they can only be unique in their strangeness. Their strength can never reach the level of my child."

She shook her head emphatically again: "Not even one-tenth is possible."

Uchiha Yu nodded in agreement, saying, "You're right. Simple humans won't work, but humans who have mastered chakra can unite with your child and produce offspring with special abilities."

"what?"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was dumbfounded: "Give birth to a child? How can Hagoromo and Hamura have a child? They're male!"

Faced with Kaguya, who had two children but was still completely clueless about matters of the heart, Uchiha Yu actually felt a little embarrassed.

He touched his nose and explained, "Of course, it's not about letting Hagoromo and Hamura have children themselves, but rather that they can make human women have children."

"More than a thousand years is enough time for them to produce a nation of powerful ability users. By then, the entire human kingdom will become the descendants of you, Kaguya. Countless abilities will be generated from your bloodline as an Otsutsuki, and it will not be surprising what kind of powerful beings will emerge."

"If you're lucky enough, a child who's no less capable than Hagoromo and Hamura might appear within a thousand years. They might even be able to deal with the attacking Otsutsuki clan without you having to lift a finger."

Kaguya Otsutsuki was stunned. She stared at Yuu Uchiha in disbelief, her mind completely occupied by that one sentence.

"To give birth to children, to give birth to the children of a nation..."

"No, no!" Uchiha Yu corrected, "It means giving birth to an empire, a transcendent empire, a transcendent empire capable of counterattacking the Otsutsuki clan!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki was stunned for a long time before finally shaking her head and saying, "How is that possible? They're almost a thousand years old. Hagoromo and Hamura-no-Mura have used almost 400 years. They can only reproduce for three more generations at most. How could they possibly have the descendants of a whole country?"

Uchiha Yu advised, "Believe me, those two children with humans will grow up very quickly. I believe it will only take 20 years for them to grow up and start having the next generation. The speed of reproduction will definitely exceed your imagination."

Kaguya was moved by what she heard, because she saw hope. Her gloomy mood even dissipated considerably, and she took the lead, saying, "A child who can grow up in 20 years is indeed quite good."

"If they are descendants of Hagoromo and Hamura, numbering in the millions, they are indeed much stronger than 100,000 White Zetsu no matter how you look at it."

She slapped her thigh hard, making a crisp, loud sound, and then happily said, "It's decided! Spread chakra to humans, and then choose... what was it again for Hagoromo and Hamura?"

Uchiha Yu replied with a smile, "She is Hagoromo and Hamura's wife, your daughter-in-law."

"Yes, choose wives for Hagoromo and Hamura, women who have adapted to and mastered chakra, and then have them give birth to children who carry their hopes as soon as possible."

Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Very good, let's do it this way. I will immediately stop the production of White Zetsu and gather humans to teach them chakra."

Uchiha Yu's smile suddenly froze, his expression instantly turning extremely serious as he cautiously inquired, "Kaguya, have you already begun creating White Zetsu?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki replied nonchalantly, "Yes."

Uchiha Yu's heart skipped a beat. Undeterred, he asked again, "Then, do Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura know?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki gave him a strange look and replied irritably, "Hagoromo and Hamura are still children. They don't need to know about resisting the Otsutsuki clan."

"If there's nothing else, you should go back and rest. I need to gather humans to pass on chakra."

Uchiha Yu was speechless for a moment, his eyes rolling back, but he simply said, "Fine."

After saying that, he took a step out and returned to his palace.

After seeing off Hamura Otsutsuki, who was overjoyed by his mother's sudden change in demeanor, Uchiha Yu smiled while holding Masayo Miwa.

The little girl sensed the incredibly complex emotions in her partner's heart, unable to grasp his true thoughts, so she asked, "Yu, what are you laughing at, meow?"

Uchiha Yu sighed, "I'm laughing at the cruel twists of fate. I never imagined that even after killing Gamamaru for almost 300 years, the conflict between Kaguya Otsutsuki and her son Hagoromo Otsutsuki was still unavoidable."

"Was this battle truly destined to happen?"

Rebellious teenagers are not very bright. Because they lack the necessary knowledge and experience, they get stuck in a fixed logic, forming a strange but solid closed loop.

The main way for rebellious teenagers to break free from rebellion is by "growing up," but boys' growth depends on certain specific factors.

They need to truly feel or lose love, be educated by poverty, be educated by suffering, be educated by violence—in short, be educated by society.

However, none of these methods worked on Hagoromo Otsutsuki, because he was already too powerful. So-called human society had no chance of educating this guy; instead, it could only be educated by him.

After all, the foundation of social education is still irresistible violence.

Even Uchiha Yu found it a headache to educate Otsutsuki Hagoromo.

The core of the problem is not the future Sage of Six Paths, but his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.

The reason why Hagoromo Otsutsuki is so difficult to manage is because of the indulgence of the Goddess of the Rabbit. She doesn't know how to manage herself and doesn't allow others to educate her, which is why she has raised such a rebellious 350-year-old.

Uchiha Yu decided to leave this matter to Kaguya Otsutsuki. Even if the mother and son eventually turned against each other and fought, he would never intervene before a winner was decided. At most, he would protect some humans and prevent the empire from being destroyed by a family war.

Once Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is defeated, or even sealed away as in history, she will have learned her lesson and should no longer spoil her son before rescuing him.

Uchiha Yu concluded that this was the most cost-effective approach, and also the one with the fewest hidden dangers and the least resentment.

Doing good deeds can easily please neither side, but if you remain uninvolved until the dust settles and you intervene after your position is clear, you may not receive praise from everyone, but you can at least earn the sincere gratitude of one party.

For once, Masayo Miwa understood Uchiha Yu's plan. She smiled and asked, "So, we're just going to do nothing and ignore everything?"

Uchiha Yu chuckled and said, "I'd like to too, but it's not that easy."

"If it weren't for the fact that the human kingdom is my anchor, I could simply sit back and watch the world change. After all, humanity has already passed its infancy and won't be easily wiped out."

"But if no preparations are made, it's not impossible for Kaguya to die in a major battle with Hagoromo."

Masayo Miwa asked, "Then what must we do to prevent the human empire, this anchor, from being destroyed?"

Uchiha Yu replied with a smile, "First, I plan to exile some people to the border regions, such as the small human countries under the jurisdiction of the Cat Castle in the Land of Fire."

"Secondly, I will build some defensive fortifications in various places, at least to ensure that we can survive the aftermath of large-scale spells."

Finally, it is about educating humankind to use defensive fortifications.

"Ah, it's been so long since I've taught someone illusion magic. I'm actually a little nostalgic."

Miwa Masayo nodded in agreement with Uchiha Yu's plan, then reminded him, "Don't add any more knowledge this time. Just make sure you learn how to use the defensive fortifications."

Uchiha Yu said awkwardly, "No, I won't add too much knowledge like the First Hokage did, but in addition to using defensive fortifications, I also need to give them some knowledge of post-disaster reconstruction."

Seeing the little girl's puffed-up cheeks, he quickly assured her, "Don't worry, I will definitely review it carefully this time, and I won't be lazy and cram the whole set of 'Friends of Dual-Use Military and Civilian Talents' into it."

The little girl snorted, "Anyway, you've messed things up. We're just going back to our original timeline, so whatever."

Uchiha Yu chuckled and said nothing more.

Returning to the original timeline is not so simple. Even if the return is a return along the current, guided by the original timeline's cause and effect, the speed will inevitably be slow once the power of timeline is exhausted.

Perhaps in the original timeline, his departure from Miwa Masayo was only a few short years, but how many years they would experience across the gap of a thousand years in the long river of time is truly unknown.

So even though it was to make up for their regrets, the First Hokage and the Second Hokage, who had experienced time travel once, were both hesitant about whether to travel through time again.

Uchiha Yu didn't want to give up so easily and then be forced to travel through time a second time.

Besides, what a great opportunity this is!

He felt that he was still a bit inferior to the Sage of Six Paths for the time being, but the Otsutsuki Hagoromo in front of him was far from being his opponent. Once he sealed Kaguya, who in this world could stop Uchiha Yu from going crazy?

Who else is there?!

If Uchiha Yu doesn't flatten and reshape Otsutsuki Hagoromo by then, he's not Uchiha Yu!

While Uchiha Yuu remained uninvolved and busily prepared for the disaster, Kaguya, unsure how to express her maternal love, broke up with Hagoromo, who initially acted for so-called justice and humanity but later developed ulterior motives.

Although Gamamaru was no longer the troublemaker, the sage race, having suffered enough, was not about to let this opportunity pass. The current sage, displaying a beautiful snake sage form, took over Gamamaru's work and began to seriously make instigations.

Thirty years later, the conflict between mother and son reached its most acute point, and the trigger was still the long-abandoned White Zetsu manufacturing project.

In particular, the White Snake Sage also found several humans who had once accompanied Hagoromo Otsutsuki. When Hagoromo saw the ornaments on White Zetsu's body, the string of kinship snapped.

Caught between his brother and mother, Hamura Otsutsuki also broke down. Helplessly, he gave up and chose to lie down, but was forcibly controlled by his domineering mother and became her henchman.

Kaguya Otsutsuki truly doesn't know how to be a mother. At this point, the parent should use force to suppress the child and let the child know who is in charge at home. How can she forcibly control the second child and use him as a puppet to beat the eldest?

Doing this will not only fail to wake up the eldest son, but even the second son, who always listens to his mother, will feel like he is living like a dog and will definitely turn against his brother on the spot.

Therefore, Kaguya Otsutsuki is simply stupid!

Even though he had a hand full of bombs and straights, he played his cards recklessly, not only playing single cards but also giving away the two Jokers to the enemy.

It would be truly unjust if Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't lose to her son.

This great war lasted for 11 months and almost destroyed the entire world.

In particular, the sealing technique God: Planetary Devastation, which the Otsutsuki brothers jointly used, caused a huge fissure in the earth due to Kaguya's resistance, stretching from the center of the continent all the way to the southern sea.

Countless trillions of tons of rock formed the foundation of the sealing technique.

This new geological fissure has profoundly altered the topography and influenced the direction of sea breezes and ocean currents.

The winds of the Land of Winds have also undergone a qualitative change. The wind speed has become so fast that, despite carrying ample moisture, it has no time to bring down rain before reaching the mountainous region at the center of the continent, the starting point of the great fissure.

Here, winds from the northwest wind country, winds from the southern land fissure, warm winds from the southeast sea, and cold winds from the northern sea converge.

All four winds carried ample moisture, and the mixture of hot and cold air, coupled with the presence of the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Land of Earth behind them, transformed the region into a rainy paradise where torrential rains pour down all year round.

Thus, the Land of Rivers and the Land of Rain appeared, the Land of Wind became a true land of raging winds, and the Land of Fire became a rainy region with four distinct seasons.

Everything actually matched up!

Uchiha Yu and Miwa Masayo stared in disbelief at everything. Neither of them could have imagined that the year-long battle between mother and son would take such a dramatic turn in a single day.

Not only was Kaguya Otsutsuki sealed away by her son, but they also joined forces to remap the world map, all within less than two hours.

Uchiha Yu didn't even have time to intervene before it was all over.
