"Such a massive number, and it can be controlled without chakra threads..."

Shikamaru frowned, his gaze sweeping over the mountain of puppet "corpses" piled on the ground.

Sudden.

A familiar clicking sound echoed in the empty hall.

Shikamaru and the others immediately fell silent, their bodies instinctively going into a state of alert.

Their sharp gazes were fixed on the source of the sound.

The footsteps grew closer, and accompanied by a faint light, two slender figures slowly emerged from the shadows of the corridor.

When they saw who it was, everyone was stunned, and their faces showed surprise.

They were two young girls.

They were dressed in identical, exquisitely made kimonos, with brocade sashes around their waists and white socks and wooden clogs on their feet.

Their appearance, height, physique, and even the distance of each step they take are completely identical.

Each of them carried a lantern.

"A...a living person?"

Kiba Inuzuka instinctively let out a low growl, and Akamaru beside him let out a soft bark.

Kiba Inuzuka: "...A dead person?"

Akamaru called out again.

Kiba Inuzuka breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it's just another puppet!"

Another puppet?

The girl who looks exactly like a normal person is actually a puppet?

What kind of puppet is so exquisite?

The gazes of the two girls were unsettling.

Their faces were set with two pairs of eyes that were equally black and the same size, like two bottomless pools of stagnant water, empty, lifeless, without any focus or emotional fluctuation.

Their faces seemed to be wearing flawless human skin masks.

Hearing Kiba Inuzuka's words, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

How could they create puppets that are so lifelike they are almost indistinguishable from humans?

The two puppets stopped about five meters away from the group, their movements synchronized in a way that was chilling.

They crouched slightly, bending at the exact same angle.

Then, one of them spoke in a flat, monotone voice: "Honorable guest, the host has been waiting for you for a long time."

Another puppet then spoke up: "Please come with us."

After saying that, they turned around, carrying lanterns, and walked with small, quick steps back down the dark corridor they had come from, seemingly certain that the people behind them would follow.

The people of Konoha looked at each other, filled with surprise and doubt.

"Master? Have you been waiting for us for a long time?"

Naruto looked confused: "Did we get exposed from the very beginning?"

Shikamaru's expression was solemn.

Chapter 649 My consciousness is everywhere!!!

Shikamaru's brain was working at lightning speed.

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; they know of our arrival, and their intentions are hard to fathom.

Just as he was weighing the pros and cons and struggling to make a decision, the figure of the God of Bliss moved.

Rei Amamiya didn't look at anyone, calmly strode forward, and followed behind the two lantern puppets.

Seeing the God of Elysium's actions, Shikamaru made a decision in an instant.

"Follow."

Shikamaru issued the command concisely.

Suppressing their doubts and unease, the group followed the God of Bliss and the two puppets into the dimly lit corridor.

The corridor is deep and winding.

The light was dim.

The path ahead was illuminated entirely by the two lamps held by the two puppets in front.

It's so quiet here.

Footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

The atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Sasuke was indeed confident in his abilities, but that was within the ninja world.

If he were to actually face someone from the Otsutsuki clan, Sasuke wouldn't be able to guarantee a victory.

We walked in silence for a while.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Naruto quickened his pace, approached the two puppets, and asked loudly, "Who exactly is this master you're talking about?"

Shikamaru: "..."

The two puppets ignored him completely, not even glancing at Naruto out of the corner of their eyes. They continued walking with their unchanging steps, staring straight ahead, as if Naruto were nothing more than a wisp of air.

"Damn it, answer me!"

Naruto felt both wronged and angry.

Just as Shikamaru was about to tell Naruto to behave, a calm voice rang out in the corridor.

"The owner of this castle is named Ōtsutsuki Toneri."

Rei Amamiya's voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

The two puppets leading the way paused slightly, but no one noticed.

All eyes were focused on the God of Elysium in front of them.

"Otsutsuki... Toneri?"

Naruto repeated the unfamiliar name, looking completely bewildered.

Shikamaru looked thoughtful, clearly having no recollection of the name.

Shikamaru looked at the God of Elysium who was walking ahead without stopping and asked the question that everyone was wondering: "My lord, just who is this Otsutsuki Toneri?"

Rei Amamiya did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Do you still remember the story I told you about Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra, on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War?"

"Of course I remember!"

Naruto answered immediately.

"That's Kaguya Otsutsuki, who ate the fruit of the Divine Tree, became the progenitor of chakra, and was later sealed away by her two sons!"

Rei Amamiya nodded slightly and continued in a straightforward manner: "Kaguya Otsutsuki had two sons. The eldest son, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was the one who later became known as the Sage of Six Paths."

"The second son was named Ōtsutsuki Hamura."

Rei Amamiya's voice echoed through the corridor.

"After the Sage of Six Paths and his younger brother Hamura Otsutsuki sealed the Ten-Tails' true form with Chibaku Tensei and created the moon, in order to permanently guard the Ten-Tails' outer shell—that is, the Gedo Mazo—his younger brother Hamura Otsutsuki led his clan to migrate to this newly born moon."

"The entire race to migrate to the moon?"

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.

"After Hamura's death, his descendants multiplied on this moon and have upheld the mission of guarding the Gedo Mazo for generations."

Rei Amamiya continued, his words seemingly possessing a certain magic, making it impossible for anyone to look away from him.

"However, as time went by, the understanding and interpretation of the ancestors' last words by later generations gradually developed into irreconcilable differences."

The corridor seemed to have come to an end, and ahead appeared a huge wooden door carved with patterns of the sun, moon and stars.

The two puppets leading the way kept walking.

"Disagreement?"

Hinata softly repeated the words of the God of Bliss, a vague sense of foreboding creeping into her heart.

"Yes."

Rei Amamiya's gaze seemed to pierce through the wooden door, revealing a solitary figure sitting alone inside.

"One branch, the subfamily, believes that the world created by the Sage of Six Paths, namely the ninja world you live in, was a complete failure, filled with millennia of war, greed, and strife."

"They believe that we should follow the true will of our ancestors and completely destroy this failed world."

"Destroy the world!"

Naruto gasped in disbelief, his face contorted with shock: "What a joke! How could anyone have such an absurd idea!"

Shikamaru's expression instantly turned extremely serious.

So, did the God of Bliss come here because he sensed the evil emanating from the moon?

The God of Bliss must stop anyone from destroying the Blissful World he created!

“In order to implement this idea,” Rei Amamiya’s voice remained calm, “the branch family used the powerful Tenseigan to completely exterminate the main family, who at the time advocated peace and opposed the destruction of the earth.”

Neji and Hinata gasped, feeling a chill run down their spines.

"Total annihilation?"

Neji's voice was slightly hoarse.

He recalled the system and conflicts between the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan, and how the Otsutsuki clan on the moon was even worse than the Hyuga clan, with their internal struggles being so bloody and cruel!

Rei Amamiya slowly turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the shocked crowd before finally settling on Neji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga.

"The man you are about to meet, the master of this castle, is Ōtsutsuki Toneri, the last descendant of the branch family who launched the bloody revolution."

"He lives alone in this castle inside the moon, watching over Earth."

"When the Fourth Shinobi World War broke out and the entire shinobi world fell into unprecedented chaos and catastrophe, he concluded that the world created by the Sage of Six Paths had completely failed and had no value in existing."

However, before Otsutsuki Toneri could carry out his plan to destroy Earth, Amamiya Rei and his men raided his base.

A deathly silence spread.

"Your Hyuga clan is a bloodline left on Earth by Otsutsuki Hamura."

“You have an unbreakable blood connection with the Otsutsuki family on the moon, and with this descendant named Toneri.”

As soon as Rei Amamiya finished speaking, Neji and Hinata were stunned.

After a long while, Nara Shikamaru took a deep breath and forced himself to regain his ability to think from the shock.

He looked at the God of Bliss and couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him: "My lord, how do you know so much about history from thousands of years ago, even the divisions and massacres on the moon?"

Silly child, it's because I'm using God's perspective!

Rei Amamiya looked at Shikamaru with pity.

"As long as there is one human being, I can see everything through his eyes."

"Wherever humans exist, I will exist."

"Humanity's footprints are all over the universe, so my consciousness is everywhere."

"Past, present, future...for me, there are no boundaries."

"I know everything that has happened in places where humans have existed."

Chapter 650 is so rude!!!

The two puppets stopped in front of the wooden door.
