"Ne~ji~" Kaguya tilted her head, asking nervously.
"It's me, Kaguya. We meet again."
Kaguya's adorable and innocent appearance made Neji's eyes slightly misty. He had only not seen Kaguya for a few hours, but even without counting the time she was sealed, Kaguya had not seen him for more than ten years. In particular, seeing Kaguya reminded him of Hagoromo and Hamura.
"Is it really you, Neji?"
Even though Neji had already admitted it, Kaguya still wanted to confirm it one more time. Seeing her beloved person as soon as the seal was broken felt like a dream to her, so she cried and hugged Neji tightly.
"Yes, it's me, Kaguya, I'm back."
The two embraced tightly in mid-air, the sweet and sour scent of love permeating the entire area. Although they had so much to say to each other upon their reunion, they could only express their heartbeats through their embrace.
This scene finally convinced the expressive crowd that Neji was telling the truth, and for a moment, their mood was subtly unpleasant.
Hiashi Hyuga said, "These relationships are too complicated. Let me sort them out first."
Neji, your eyes...
After embracing and weeping for a long time, Kaguya finally noticed Neji's eyes. They were the same Rinne Sharingan as hers, and both of his eyes were like that.
Don't you like these eyes?
Neji couldn't explain anything, so he simply blinked and changed his eyes back to Byakugan.
"No, I like it very much."
Kaguya shook her head cutely and buried her pretty face in Neji's chest, greedily enjoying the embrace she hadn't felt for over a decade.
Putting aside their sweet talk, Neji's anger was slowly building up over his past romantic entanglements. They didn't care that Kaguya was the progenitor of chakra or the father of the Sage of Six Paths; all they knew was that from now on, they had another rival, and a very powerful one at that.
They were very jealous that she even had two sons.
"Tch, boring."
Madara looked at the two people above him. Knowing that the Infinite Tsukuyomi plan had completely failed, he had no intention of staying in this world any longer. However, being used as a pawn for decades still made him unable to swallow his anger. If Black Zetsu hadn't already died, he would have definitely crushed him to ashes before he could even think about it.
He quickly unleashed the seal to release the Impure World Reincarnation, and his body gradually began to glow, with scraps of paper slowly scattering away.
"How about it, Madara? You lost this battle again, didn't you?"
As Madara's best and only friend, Hashirama naturally wouldn't hold any grudges against Madara no matter how many wrong things Madara did. At this moment, he walked up to Madara to bid him a final farewell, but his expression was rather irritating.
"Get your face away from me," Madara said irritably. "Enjoy this second life while you can, because you probably won't have this kind of good thing again."
"Ah, you're still cursing me to die? Madara, I'm heartbroken."
"roll!!"
Although he didn't say it, Madara was still very grateful to Hashirama in his heart. Only Hashirama could accept him so openly. However, the simple-minded Hashirama obviously didn't understand his awkward tone of concern.
During their bickering, Madara's soul flew into the sky with a beam of white light.
Chapter 241 Methods of Self-Preservation and the Sudden Arrival of an Enemy
"Obito, do you see? The strongest bond is when hearts are connected. We have proven this with our actions in this war. The path you took was the right one." Kakashi confidently walked up to Obito and persuaded him.
"I'm sorry I didn't see any bond between you. In my opinion, it was Neji alone who stopped this war."
Obito curled his lip, looking down on Kakashi's far-fetched excuse. If it weren't for Neji, the Allied Shinobi Forces would undoubtedly be the weakest side in this war. How could Kakashi have the confidence to reason with him?
"Well, that's true, but we still won in the end."
"You're still just as annoying as ever, Kakashi."
"Ah!! It's finally over. This war was truly a success, even though I don't know what we fought."
Ignoring the argument between the two seniors, Naruto walked up to Kushina, his head in his hands, ready to receive breakfast from his mother. However, he was instead sent flying by a frying pan from Kushina.
"Are you stupid? What were you doing rushing to the front in such a dangerous place? Did you think you were invincible just because you put armor on the Nine-Tails? And you, Sasuke, do you really not care about yourself? As Mikoto's friend, I'm going to teach you a lesson today on her behalf!!"
In Kushina's heart, Naruto and Sasuke were both her sons. Like any other mother, her sons were undoubtedly the most precious thing in her heart. During the previous battle, Naruto and Sasuke rushed to the front without hesitation, and she couldn't say anything. Now that the war was over, it meant that the time for settling scores had come.
"Alright, alright, Kushina, the children are just worried about everyone's safety."
"Shut up! I haven't even said anything to you yet. What are you doing, father? Why are you leading the way in this mess? Hurry up and apologize to me properly."
Minato's attempt to persuade them ultimately backfired, and everyone saw Naruto, Sasuke, Minato, and Itachi kneeling side by side, helplessly and humbly listening to Kushina's admonition.
"What does this have to do with me?" Itachi said with a look of utter despair.
"Huh? You're alright now? You sit up straight, kid! This is what happens if you move around!"
Itachi's dissatisfaction drew Kushina's attention. After Kushina stomped on the ground, causing it to collapse, Itachi finally realized that sometimes keeping quiet was a wise way to protect himself.
"Kaguya, I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you and your child."
Although Kaguya was resurrected, Neji's guilt did not lessen at all. The hardships Kaguya endured over the past ten years and the suffering the children suffered could not be easily forgotten.
"The children?" Kaguya tilted her head, looking at Neji who was apologizing to her with some amusement. She couldn't help but find Neji very cute, but she felt that Neji might have misunderstood something.
"Neji, if you really want to spend time with the children, why don't you just go and spend time with them?"
"Stay with them? But they're already..."
"Indra and Ashura can be reincarnated, so how could Hagoromo and Hamura not be able to? They haven't been reincarnated simply because they haven't sensed my chakra."
"Huh? So that means..."
"Yes, that's right, so we'd better work hard."
Kaguya revealed a smug smile, and before Neji could react, she pulled him into the Origin Sphere, their purpose left unsaid.
They had just entered when a colossal creature was thrown out of the rift through which Kaguya and Neji had left. Having been abandoned by their unreliable older brother and subjected to Kaguya's thousand-year oblivion and sealing, one can only imagine the depth of its grief and anger.
However, after finally seeing the two of them, he was kicked out before he could even speak. There was something he had been wanting to say to them.
Maybe I'm not human, but you guys are real dogs.
……
Hiashi Hyuga is currently very troubled. Hinata has been depressed for several days since the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, and even Hanabi has been sullen for some unknown reason. As their father, Hiashi naturally understands the root of all this, but Neji's current status is a bit strange. He has become his own ancestor... This is quite subtle, isn't it?
"Hinata is one thing, but when did Hanabi fall for Neji? It's been three years since we last saw each other... You brat, you've ruined my daughters, both of them!!"
Despite saying that, for the sake of his daughters' lifelong happiness, Hiashi still gritted his teeth and came to Neji's mansion. As soon as he entered, he saw the daimyo of the Land of Snow, the priestess of the Land of Demons, the Fifth Mizukage and her two shadow guards, as well as many familiar and unfamiliar people.
To be honest, Hiashi really wanted to go back. He didn't know how to face Neji, who had suddenly become his ancestor, in front of so many people, and he didn't know how to start the conversation. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that it was better to consider the matter further. However, before he could leave, he was stopped by someone.
"You are a descendant of Hamura's lineage, right?"
"Yes, ancestor."
Hiashi looked at Kaguya as she came out of the house and hurriedly greeted her respectfully. Although he didn't know how to face Neji, he genuinely respected Kaguya, after all, the pressure brought by their bloodline was not in vain.
"Are you here to see Neji?"
“Uh…yes, Ancestor, uh, Neji, he…”
"Father? What are you doing here?"
Hiashi was nervously chatting with Kaguya, trying to figure out how to do it flawlessly so as not to anger the old lady and to find out Neji's thoughts, when he saw Hinata and Hanabi running out excitedly and shyly, arms linked together.
Hiashi, being an old and shrewd man, knew from the sisters' expressions that they had already gotten the answer. Thinking about it, it made sense; if Neji didn't care about them, the ancestor wouldn't have sent him back.
"Hehe, I've come to visit our ancestors, and now it's time for me to go back. You all... be careful not to go back too late."
Hijika originally wanted to tell his daughters to go back as soon as possible, but under the watchful eye of his ancestor, he couldn't bring himself to say it. Even such a serious person eventually succumbed to the pressure from his ancestor.
"It seems this place is quite lively. What are you mortals doing?"
At that moment, a contemptuous voice suddenly reached everyone's ears. Upon hearing this voice, Kaguya's expression changed slightly, and she immediately looked up at the sky.
A black crack appeared in the once azure sky, and three people with white eyes, all dressed in white robes, were standing below the crack.
"Princess Kaguya, we've been looking for you for a long time."
Chapter 242 Momoshiki is startled
"Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki... It can't be you guys..."
Upon seeing the newcomers, even Kaguya felt a sense of powerlessness. Back then, she had asked Hagoromo and Hamura to seal her away, not only to protect the ninja world but also to isolate the aura of the Divine Tree and avoid these people coming from her 'hometown'. She never imagined that she still couldn't escape them in the end.
After swallowing the fruit of the divine tree and completely absorbing the tree itself, her strength had surpassed that of the royal family of her kingdom. Even so, she still felt a deep-seated fear of the three people in front of her.
This is because Momoshiki is the only one in the clan to have obtained royal abilities, allowing him to gain power by devouring his companions.
"Princess Kaguya, what's going on? I can clearly sense your bloodline in those people, and there's a very strong aura of the Divine Tree within you. Did you devour the Divine Tree and the Chakra Fruit?!"
Momoshiki Otsutsuki looked down at Hinata, Hanabi, and Hiashi, a flash of anger in his eyes. He never expected that Kaguya would marry a mortal.
But what he found even more unacceptable was that not only the Chakra Fruit, but Kaguya had also devoured the Divine Tree. Each Divine Tree was created at an unimaginable cost by their kingdom, and losing one now made him feel like the sky was about to fall.
"Lady Momoshiki, what should we do?"
"There's no other way. We can only reunite all the chakra, but these mortals will have to perish with the Divine Tree!"
Momoshiki said angrily, and immediately a dark red Tailed Beast Ball, far larger than the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, gathered in his hand. Its area was so large that it almost covered half of Konoha. This terrifying Tailed Beast Ball gave people a powerful impact just by its visual effect.
"What are you trying to do in Konoha?!"
Naruto and Minato had already found their respective partners and quickly arrived here using the Flying Thunder God Technique. The two imposing Susanoo Nine-Tails exuded domineering aura and immediately wielded their Susanoo blades to slash at Momoshiki.
"I won't let you interfere with Lord Momoshiki."
A portly fat man next to Momoshiki immediately stood in front of the two Nine-Tails. Despite his size, he was surprisingly agile, and chakra weapons instantly condensed in the ring on his back, attacking Naruto and the others.
"Oh ho? I didn't expect these two to also have a portion of the Divine Tree's chakra. This is quite an unexpected surprise." Ōtsutsuki Urashiki looked at them with interest, holding his fishing rod, but had no intention of making a move.
"Die, you mortal!!"
Just then, Momoshiki finally finished condensing the Tailed Beast Ball. The terrifying chakra was concentrated in this huge Tailed Beast Ball, and it vibrated slightly as it rubbed against the air. Once it landed, the area within a ten-mile radius of Konoha would probably become barren.
"You bunch of guys are really showing no respect for me as the host by coming here to cause trouble while someone is having a party in their yard."
Before the Tailed Beast Ball could even land, it was lifted up and reappeared in the air. At the same time, a handsome man slowly came into their view.
"How is this possible?!"
Urashiki stared in shock at Neji, who was raising the Tailed Beast Ball with one hand. Catching Momoshiki's attack with his bare hands was something few people in the entire country could do, let alone do it as easily as he did.
"Byakugan, is it also a descendant of Kaguya? Its strength is not bad." Momoshiki looked at this scene with a slight interest in his eyes, but quickly shook his head: "It's just a pity that you are still lacking."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Tailed Beast Ball in Neji's hand suddenly became heavy and exploded without any warning. The terrifying explosion was deafening, and the space itself seemed to collapse under the pressure of the force.
