Chapter 542 - 541: Ryun Uchiha vs. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki
"Wait a moment." Ryun Uchiha suddenly raised his hand, signaling Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to stop immediately. His face turned exceptionally pale, revealing a deep sense of apprehension.
This had completely exceeded his expectations. He had never imagined the plot would develop like this. It was simply absurd.
Although he was not originally from this world, from the perspective of inheritance, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was his ancestor.
How could an ancestor act like this. Absolutely not. Ryun thought to himself. This behavior was truly unethical.
A faint, almost imperceptible smile curled at the corner of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s mouth.
She clearly understood Ryun’s reaction perfectly, knowing he was currently in a state of extreme shyness.
Looking at his youthful appearance, his age was probably less than 100 years old.
Kaguya speculated inwardly. To appear more reserved, she obediently stopped walking. She then turned her gaze to Ryun, her eyes filled with warmth and amusement.
Ryun felt a chill run down his spine. He had no idea how to explain everything to Kaguya. Should he directly tell her that he was her descendant, and that he rescued her hoping she could save the ninja world.
Setting aside the fact that he was her descendant, she was now utterly disappointed with the deceit and intrigue of the ninja world, even wanting to destroy it.
Moreover, being betrayed and sealed by her two sons had made her despise the ninja world and hate her own bloodline descendants.
Her own sons, for the sake of a group of strangers, sealed away their own birth mother. What kind of beastly behavior was that.
She ranted about destroying the ninja world, and now they wanted her to help save it.
This was just bullying an honest person.
Just as Ryun was tangled in thought, Black Zetsu suddenly rushed before Kaguya Ōtsutsuki like a gust of wind. With tears in his eyes and a mournful expression, Black Zetsu cried out, "Mother."
This cry was like a thunderclap exploding beside Kaguya’s ear. Her face instantly darkened as she sharply turned around, staring fixedly at Black Zetsu.
’Could this Black Zetsu be the contingency plan I left in the ninja world? Did it bring clan members to rescue me?’ Kaguya thought to herself.
However, to avoid causing any aversion in Ryun, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki promptly made a decision. She stored Black Zetsu away in an independent space.
Then, wearing a slightly awkward smile, she explained to Ryun, "Ahem, don’t misunderstand. That thing is just a consciousness clone I created casually. I don’t have any sons."
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had her reasons for saying this.
Although her sons did possess half Ōtsutsuki blood, they were not pure Ōtsutsuki clansmen. Their lifespan, at most, would only be about half longer than an ordinary human’s, not very long at all.
Furthermore, she had been sealed in this space for so long. Her two sons must have long since passed away. Given that, what was wrong with her pursuing her own love? As her sons, they should support her.
The corner of Ryun’s mouth twitched. If he hadn’t had an omniscient perspective, he might have really believed Kaguya’s words. But unfortunately, even if it were true, he only loved Tsunade.
Toneri Ōtsutsuki spoke up, "Ancestor, I am a descendant of Hamura many generations removed. This man previously humiliated me. I beg you, Ancestor, to seek justice for me."
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s face grew even darker. She turned, her expression turning cold and filled with loathing. "Hamura. Don’t mention him to me. A beast. You are his descendant. What does that have to do with me?"
"Besides, if you were truly humiliated, it’s because your strength is insufficient. If your strength is lacking, look more to your own reasons. All these years, have you practiced cultivation diligently?" Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s eyes carried a cold glint.
He had no sense of the situation. Couldn’t he see she was cutting ties with her two sons and pursuing happiness? Constantly calling her ’Ancestor’ at a time like this was so annoying.
Ryun scratched his head. "Um, Kaguya, could you summon Black Zetsu out? The consciousness you just stored away. If you interact with it, you’ll understand everything."
He really didn’t want to explain much, but seeing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki so single-mindedly focused on romance, he had to let her learn the truth of the matter.
Explaining it himself was too troublesome. As long as she made contact with Black Zetsu, she would understand everything.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki blinked, then finally nodded. She was indeed curious. How had her consciousness clone been so capable? It even found her such a handsome man.
So, she activated the Heavenly Dimensions technique and released Black Zetsu. Black Zetsu emerged, trembling. Just moments ago, Kaguya hadn’t paid him any attention, directly tossing him into the ice and snow dimension.
If it were just ordinary ice and snow, that would be one thing. But Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s Heavenly Dimensions was an Ōtsutsuki clan ability.
It targeted not just the physical body, but also the soul. He had no physical body to withstand it first, leaving his soul directly targeted. What was he supposed to do.
Upon seeing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Black Zetsu wanted to cling to her, but Kaguya’s expression turned cold. She grasped his head with one hand, closed her eyes, and began reading his memories.
Three minutes later.
She opened her eyes, took three steps back on the void of space, and looked at Ryun Uchiha with an incredulous expression.
The one who had moved her heart, whom she wanted to give herself to, was actually a human from the ninja world. Her already pale face grew even more bloodless.
Her eyes flickered with hatred, gratitude, and complexity. She knew this man wanted to join forces with her to deal with Isshiki Ōtsutsuki together.
But from Black Zetsu’s memories, she learned about Ryun Uchiha’s character, his drive. He was thousands, tens of thousands of times stronger than the man she had loved in the past.
Most importantly, he was a love fool, just like her. He was extremely loyal to his wife. Despite holding the highest position and possessing the strongest power in the ninja world, he had never entertained other thoughts.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki began to cry. Why? Why couldn’t a man like this have been born a few thousand years earlier? Why couldn’t she have met this man.
She began to feel jealous, angry, and resentful. The next moment, she spoke. "Ryun Uchiha."
Ryun breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this woman now knew his identity. He was safe. Then he wouldn’t have to worry about being persistently pursued.
But facts proved he was overthinking it.
"Ryun Uchiha, be with me. That Tsunade will die eventually. But I am immortal and undying. Your chakra reserves are enough to sustain you for tens of thousands of years." Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s eyes held a plea.
Ryun’s expression changed. This person liking him was one thing, but how could she curse someone to die? Oh, right. He had kept his immortality ocular technique highly confidential. Kaguya Ōtsutsuki didn’t know.
Ryun paused, then spoke. "I’m sorry, Ancestor Kaguya. I possess an ocular technique that can grant eternal life."
"Moreover, my wife and I are deeply in love. I’m sure Ancestor Kaguya is also a person who values love and righteousness, and would not wish to come between a loving couple." Ryun politely declined.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s expression changed, then she lowered her head. "In that case, please do not interfere with my next course of action. I will destroy the ninja world."
’If I kill your beloved, you will have no choice but to love me.’ This was the most genuine thought in Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s heart.
Ryun’s face darkened. Originally, he wanted to speak reasonably, but with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s attitude, there was nothing more to discuss.
"Kaguya, out of respect, I call you Ancestor. I wanted you to join me in eliminating Isshiki Ōtsutsuki to ensure the safety of the ninja world."
"If you wish to destroy the ninja world, then you are my enemy. In that case, there’s no need to go to the ninja world. Here and now, we will decide victory, and life, and death." With that, Ryun unleashed his full power.
His eyes burned with ferocity as he raised all his power to its limit.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki remained silent, then erupted with chakra. Her hair flew wildly, her eyes turned crimson, and she stared fixedly at Ryun Uchiha.
Currently, she had not consumed the Ten-Tails, so she was just an ordinary Ōtsutsuki. But in terms of strength ranking within the Ōtsutsuki clan, her power was no less than Isshiki’s.
Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists. Kaguya charged at Ryun, her hands punching, leaving countless afterimages. Every punch possessed combat power at the Six Paths level.
Ryun’s entire body ignited with red chakra blood mist. The Eight Gates Released Formation, Gate of Death, open.
He clearly knew his speed was no match for Kaguya’s. Therefore, he took a different approach. Overwhelming force to break all techniques.
One punch blasted out, generating a massive air column that destroyed all the afterimages of Kaguya’s Eighty Gods Vacuum Fists.
Simultaneously, Kaguya, feeling this tremendous force, was pushed back, her eyes filled with shock and delight.
This power, so immense. Ryun Uchiha must be very strong. The corner of her mouth lifted. However, this was a battle. She would not hold back.
She raised her hands. "All-Killing Ash Bones." Bone blades flew forth one after another, carrying a momentum like a tidal wave, surging towards Ryun Uchiha to kill him.
Ryun summoned the complete body of the Susanoo. Behind him, various divine weapons also materialized. Axes, dagger-axes, hooks, and forks all shot out simultaneously, colliding with the All-Killing Ash Bones.
Whoosh, crash, clatter.
Clang, clang, clang, clang.
The divine weapons and the All-Killing Ash Bones collided, ultimately annihilating each other into silence.
This spectacle left the watching Black Zetsu and Toneri Ōtsutsuki dumbfounded. Were these two really this fierce.
Especially Ryun Uchiha. A human body rivaling an Ōtsutsuki was one thing, but he could actually clash with Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra.
He was simply monstrous.
Feeling the power within Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s body at this moment, Ryun was inwardly shocked. He understood Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was already holding back.
Even though she hadn’t consumed the Ten-Tails and fully unsealed herself, her strength was not to be underestimated.
He wasn’t without his own trump cards. But his trump card came at too great a cost. That’s why he had hoped to persuade Kaguya if possible.
That way, they could capture Isshiki Ōtsutsuki together. Whether it was her or himself, they could both live securely afterward.
The difficult matter was how to change this Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s attitude.
