On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

Although she was unhappy, Kaguya had no choice but to keep quiet because of Nagasawa's strength.

"What do you want to know?" Kaguya relented.

"Tell me everything you know about the Otsutsuki clan," Nagasawa said after thinking for a moment.

Kaguya's face showed a thoughtful expression, and then she slowly said, "The Otsutsuki clan are the overlords and emperors of the universe, and they have a very strong influence in the universe."

You might think you're already quite strong, and I'm considered a strong person, but within the Otsutsuki clan, there are too many clan members of my level; I can't be considered a true strong person..."

An Otsutsuki who has only eaten one fruit of the Divine Tree is nothing special in the Otsutsuki clan; there are many Otsutsuki with that kind of strength.

Because of her lack of strength, Kaguya was always worried that the Otsutsuki would discover the situation here.

If she were discovered, even if a regular investigation team were dispatched, let alone family elders or elites, Kaguya wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Through Kaguya's information, Nagasawa also learned what level the Six Paths level was in the universe.

The Six Paths level is known as the God level in the universe. Given the destructive power of the Six Paths level, calling it a god is definitely not a problem.

In the context of the entire universe, there are countless gods, but this is because the universe is so vast and there are so many life forms. Gods are actually a mid-level force in the universe, not a bottom-level force.

Above the god level is the super god level, which represents the high-level power in the universe. Without a super god level existence, one is not worthy of being called a major power.

“All the elders of the Otsutsuki clan are god-level powerhouses; they are the foundation of the Otsutsuki's ability to roam the starry sky,” Kaguya said.

"What level do you think my strength is?" Yongze asked.

"Intermediate-level god, at most a high-level god, and one of the weaker ones at that," Kaguya replied after a moment's thought.

God-level can be roughly divided into four levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, and top-level. Kaguya herself barely reached the intermediate level because she ate a fruit from the Divine Tree and accumulated her own knowledge.

Although she might not be able to defeat a powerful beginner in actual combat, her energy level has definitely reached the level of an intermediate god.

The power that Nagasawa unleashed was much stronger than hers, but it wasn't outrageous. Therefore, Kaguya speculated that Nagasawa's highest energy level was that of a high-level god, and he was the weakest among them.

To be honest, Kaguya thought it was already terrifying that Nagasawa, a native of the ninja world, could reach the level of a high-level god. The standard for the elite Otsutsuki was only a high-level god.

Normally, one needs to consume five or more fruits from the Divine Tree to reach the level of a high-level god. If the quality of the Divine Tree fruits is not good, even more may be required.

"The weakest high-level god?" Yongze stroked his chin, seemingly thinking that it wasn't too bad, and that he wasn't the weakest in the universe.

"So, what about now?" Nagasawa took out a scroll containing Sage Chakra, and activated Sage Mode again on top of the Shinigami Chakra Mode, unleashing extremely powerful chakra from his body.

Kaguya's eyes widened, and even her usually calm and cold face couldn't remain composed as she stared at Nagasawa in disbelief. She hadn't expected that the one who had just utterly defeated her wasn't even Nagasawa's full strength.

'What kind of monster is this? How can such a being exist on this planet?' Kaguya thought with some resentment.

Because at this moment, in Kaguya's perception, Nagasawa's aura had actually broken through the level of a high-level god and entered the energy level of a top-level god.

Consider Kaguya Otsutsuki, who risked everything to stab Ichishiki in the back and eat the fruit of the God Tree, only to become a mid-level god, and a weak one at that.

The fact that Nagasawa could unleash the power of a top-tier god drove Kaguya to the brink of madness with jealousy.

Top-tier gods are no small fry. Even within the Otsutsuki clan, top-tier gods are absolute elites. They only need to break through to the super god level to become elders of the Otsutsuki clan and high-ranking members.

"A top-tier god," Kaguya said with a hint of envy.

"How did you do that?" Kaguya couldn't help but ask.

She was very curious about how Yongze had cultivated to become a top-level god on this planet that was beyond the reach of even the stars.

"Of course it's because I cultivate diligently every day," Yongze replied with a smile, then added in his mind.

'There's also a tiny bit of help provided by the system.'

Yongze is quite shrewd; without the system, he definitely wouldn't have been able to grow to this level.

Each template has provided tremendous support for our current capabilities.

Whitebeard gave him a powerful physique, Yoriichi Tsugikuni gave him exceptional talent, Tobirama gave him a large amount of chakra and the ability to develop forbidden techniques, and the Captain-Commander gave him immense spiritual pressure and a thousand years of accumulated experience.

He combined the systems of various worlds and integrated them into the chakra system, eventually creating his own system, which gave him his current strength.

Kaguya fell silent. At the god level, if one wanted to improve their strength through cultivation, the time unit would be at least a hundred years, and the humans on this planet did not seem to have that many lifespans to cultivate.

Kaguya thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how Nagasawa did it, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

“Join Konoha. You betrayed the Otsutsuki, and I have incurred their wrath by killing Isshiki. We can join forces to fight the Otsutsuki.” Nagasawa extended an invitation to Kaguya.

This was precisely Nagasawa's purpose in reviving Kaguya: to obtain information about the Otsutsuki clan and, at the same time, to gain a Six Paths level combat power.

Although Kaguya's combat experience is average, she has a good foundation. If she lacks experience, she can train hard and still have a promising future.

Nagasawa wasn't worried that Kaguya would refuse. Even if Kaguya wasn't exceptionally intelligent, she was definitely not stupid and could distinguish between advantages and disadvantages.

Cooperating with Nagasawa could help deal with the potential Otsutsuki crisis, while refusing to cooperate with Nagasawa would only give Kaguya another top-tier god as an opponent.

Kaguya thought about it for a moment and finally nodded in agreement; she couldn't find a reason to refuse.

It's a very simple matter; by joining forces with Yongze, we can survive.

Everything Kaguya did was for the sake of surviving, and to live a better life.

Unwilling to become a sacrificed victim periodically, she ultimately betrayed herself and ate the fruit herself. Her later attempt to cultivate White Zetsu using the Divine Tree was also for the purpose of strengthening her own power and protecting herself.

If joining forces with Nagasawa ensures their survival, Kaguya will naturally agree.

However, if Kaguya discovers that Nagasawa is using her as cannon fodder, she will definitely try to betray him or run away.

She backstabbed Isshiki because she didn't want to be cannon fodder and was willing to sacrifice herself for Isshiki unconditionally. If she were to become cannon fodder for Nagasawa, wouldn't that be the same as before?

Chapter 597 Black Zetsu Must Die

"Since you're both from the Otsutsuki clan, the difference between you and Otsutsuki Isshiki shouldn't be too great, right?" Nagasawa suddenly asked Kaguya.

“That’s right. Although he has a higher status than me, his strength isn’t actually that much greater,” Kaguya said calmly.

Kaguya felt that Isshiki wasn't much stronger than her, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to successfully backstab him.

"So, to what extent have you mastered the technology of the stars? Could you give a rough description?" Yongze asked, his eyes lighting up.

Instead of rushing to eliminate Isshiki, they waited until Chakra Technology Company made no further moves before taking action.

It was because Nagasawa wanted Isshiki to continue helping the ninja world develop its technology and contribute to the development of chakra technology.

If Isshiki had chosen to continue developing chakra technology, Nagasawa might have delayed his actions for a few more years.

"What space technology?" Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at Nagasawa with some confusion.

Nagasawa: ...

A somewhat terrifying thought occurred to Nagasawa: Could Kaguya be Takeyu from the Otsutsuki clan, someone who knows nothing but strength?

She looks like a cool, aloof goddess who knows everything.

"So, do you know how to build spaceships or something?" Nagasawa asked.

"If I knew all this, would I still be here?" Kaguya looked at Nagasawa with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

If she knew how to build spaceships, would she still be here on this planet, worrying and fearful? She would have run away to another planet long ago.

Although Otsutsuki is powerful, the starry sky is vast, and it is not certain that she can be found.

"So what can you do?" Nagasawa still held a sliver of hope. Maybe he just couldn't build spaceships, but was skilled in something else.

After all, he was born into such a prestigious family, and Isshiki is also very talented. Kaguya couldn't possibly be that much worse, could she?

“I will kill all eighty gods of the Void with my ashes…” Kaguya said earnestly.

Nagasawa: 6

Nagasawa was speechless. He had really run into Otsutsuki, who was good for nothing except fighting. Upon closer analysis, he realized that he wasn't even that good at fighting.

Nagasawa thought about it and realized that it was reasonable for Kaguya not to understand these things. If Kaguya did understand them, the ninja world wouldn't have remained the same after so long; it would have entered the interstellar era long ago.

White Zetsu army? Can those things be as effective as Star Destroyers?

The Sage of Six Paths, who was not far away, looked somewhat uneasy.

His mother, whom he had worked so hard to overcome and fought with everything he could, performed so poorly that all his efforts seemed like a joke.

The idea of ​​rapid technological advancement shattered, and Nagasawa's gaze towards Kaguya couldn't help but show some disdain.

Having consumed so many resources from the ninja world and caused so much trouble, is this all the skill you've got?

Kaguya was a little unhappy when she saw Nagasawa's disdainful look; she had always been treated like royalty in the ninja world.

However, considering Nagasawa's strength, Kaguya calmly put on a nonchalant expression, looked up at the sky, and appreciated the beautiful scenery.

“Separate the Tailed Beast from your body,” Nagasawa said to Kaguya.

The youthful version of the Ten-Tails inside Kaguya was created by fusing with tailed beasts from other ninja villages, and it needs to be returned.

"That would weaken my strength." Kaguya was unhappy when she heard that she had to release the tailed beast inside her.

This is a crucial source of her chakra; without it, her strength would be greatly affected, and she might even fall back to the level of a low-level god.

"Besides, the Tailed Beasts were originally mine," Kaguya said.

The Ten-Tails was not originally a product of the ninja world, but was brought by her and Isshiki from the Otsutsuki clan.

"How come it's yours? Shouldn't it be Shiki's? All of Shiki's stuff is my spoils of war." Nagasawa rubbed his fist, feeling that he might have been too lenient with his fist.

"As for your strength, it's not that great anyway, so being a little weak is fine."

"Can't you show some respect for me, a goddess?" Kaguya wanted to retort with a furious attitude, but after thinking about the mess she had just made in the battle and the top-level divine power that Nagasawa had displayed at the end, Kaguya nodded expressionlessly, "You're right."

In the face of a top-tier god, it doesn't matter whether she's a low-level or mid-level god, since she has no power to resist anyway.

The Sage of Six Paths was somewhat moved; he had never met a mother who was so easy to talk to.

If Kaguya had been as easy to talk to as she is now when he tried to persuade her to stop harming people back then, perhaps the three of them wouldn't have ended up like this.

After being persuaded by Nagasawa with reason and emotion, Kaguya readily released the Tailed Beasts, and the enormous Tailed Beasts appeared in the open space.

The tailed beasts were all filled with emotion when they saw the Sage of Six Paths again after a thousand years.

The Sage of Six Paths also revealed a kind smile; to him, these tailed beasts were all adorable pets.

“I underestimated you. Since you can suppress Mother, I must also leave.” The Sage of Six Paths looked at Yongze.

The Sage of Six Paths has existed in the ninja world as a soul for far too long, but this is the first time he has ever seen someone like Nagasawa. Everything about Nagasawa was beyond his expectations, but fortunately, the final outcome was good.

"But I still have to remind you, be careful of Mother, and it would be best to destroy that Black Zetsu." The Sage of Six Paths gave his final warning.

The Sage of Six Paths now regards Nagasawa as his successor to protect the ninja world.
