Chapter 187: Chapter 187. Mom, Where's My Dad?
"Your Highness, Goddess."
Natsume knocked on the door and entered the room.
Kaguya otsutsuki was sitting by the window, gazing at the distant sky.
This was a common state she often got into.
Upon hearing Natsume's voice, she turned her head, and her white eyes landed on him.
After two years of getting along, she had completely trusted this servant of hers.
She had even developed a slight dependence on him.
Because she could gain a decent amount of Chakra every day without doing anything.
She had thought about what she would do if Natsume left her one day because of his limited lifespan.
She would definitely be at a complete loss.
She wasn't originally knowledgeable about many things. With Natsume around, this tendency became even more prominent.
To put it bluntly, she had become a good - for - nothing.
Apart from having extremely powerful strength, she had to rely on Natsume for everything.
Anyway, this servant was really good.
She was even a bit reluctant to part with him.
"I need you to help me find someone."
Pushing aside the sudden thoughts, Kaguya otsutsuki said expressionlessly, "He's my enemy, named Isshiki otsutsuki."
"Are there any clues?"
Natsume asked calmly, "As long as there are distinct features, we can have the whole ninja world search for him for you."
Hearing this, Kaguya otsutsuki was slightly stunned.
Why didn't I think of using the Heavenly Network?
Although those ants are not very powerful, they have the advantage of large numbers.
Moreover, with Isshiki otsutsuki's arrogance, he disdains these weeds.
Without any defense, there's a chance of being discovered.
It would be nearly hopeless for Kaguya otsutsuki to search for him by herself.
Because Isshiki otsutsuki knew that she wanted to kill him, and once he sensed any danger, he would flee without hesitation.
Kaguya otsutsuki looked at Natsume and was once again surprised by his extraordinary wisdom.
She should have told him the intelligence about Isshiki otsutsuki earlier.
Maybe he would have been found by now.
"He should be possessing a human being at present."
After thinking for a while, Kaguya otsutsuki said, "This human being won't age or die, and there will be a black diamond - shaped mark on his palm as a sign."
"That's enough."
Natsume said with a smile, "You don't have to worry. The Heavenly Network will definitely dig him out."
In fact, he knew a little more than Kaguya otsutsuki.
For example, Isshiki otsutsuki was possessing a monk named Jigen.
As long as a person exists, there will be traces of them.
Unless he stays in an extremely secret place all the time.
Looking at his smile, Kaguya otsutsuki's lips also curled up slightly.
The worry and annoyance in her heart suddenly lessened a great deal.
She pondered and said, "After you find Isshiki otsutsuki, I'll give you a better reward."
Natsume's eyes lit up.
A better reward than a kiss? What could it be?
For a moment, he was full of motivation.
"Your Highness, Goddess, the Heavenly Network has something that needs your help."
Natsume observed her expression. Seeing that she showed a reaction, he continued, "I hope you can set a button on all the log - in devices that can connect to you because they are about to start their unification journey and will inevitably encounter gods.
If they die, we'll have to spend time training new ones again."
"Alright."
Kaguya Otsutsuki nodded.
She wouldn't let others reap the benefits she had sown.
"Of course, summoning you isn't free."
Natsume added, "I'll set a reasonable amount of Chakra currency."
Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at him, and an idea suddenly popped into her head.
What if she turned him into a member of the Otsutsuki Clan's branch family?
He was so useful.
Although Kaguya Otsutsuki hadn't seen many creatures, she had spent time with Isshiki Otsutsuki, the lofty head of the main family.
Putting aside bloodline and power, she thought Natsume was a hundred times better.
With him, it seemed that her second Chakra Fruit wasn't far off.
"What's wrong?"
Natsume was a bit confused.
He actually felt a hint of aggression in Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes.
It wasn't uncommon, though.
She always looked at Chakra like that.
But it was the first time she'd looked at a human like that.
Natsume wondered if he was finally going to make it big and become the boss.
"Nothing."
Kaguya Otsutsuki averted her gaze and said, "Go and do your work. I'll teach you the Summoning Jutsu[b]Summoning Jutsu[/b] in a couple of days."
Natsume nodded and didn't dare to ask further, suppressing his curiosity.
Unifying the world was a major task.
Although Natsume had issued the mission, he didn't want the players' power to be scattered.
After all, they were still relatively weak.
They could be wiped out if they encountered the Three Great Holy Places or gods.
That's why Natsume had asked Kaguya Otsutsuki to bestow the Summoning technique.
Kaguya, save me!
This Ninjutsu was truly a Kinjutsu[b]Kinjutsu[/b].
He also had the log - in devices, and they were free. He could use them anytime in the future.
At least in this world, he could be invincible.
Sure enough, being a kept man is really great!
Natsume walked to the square while thinking.
The square had been set as the skill learning area, with two resident tutors.
Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki.
Speaking of these two, Natsume could only feel envious.
The former was born with the Rinnegan[b]Rinnegan[/b], and the latter with the Byakugan[b]Byakugan[/b].
Moreover, they had incredibly high talent.
They could learn anything just by seeing it once.
Natsume had no gaming experience at all.
Being their teacher made him want to vomit blood.
**Are you kidding me? They're only two years old!**
Oh!
In terms of strength, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths, was almost stronger than him.
Hamura Otsutsuki was a bit slower, maybe due to his carefree personality.
On the other hand, Hagoromo Otsutsuki already had the air of the later Sage of Six Paths.
Calm, smart, and steady.
For Natsume, he was an excellent tool.
He has arranged for Hagoromo Otsutsuki to develop the Five - Elemental Release[b]Five - Elemental Release[/b] jutsu.
So, with his later - life experience as a foundation, it would be faster than creating something out of nothing.
As a result, Hagoromo Otsutsuki quite admired him.
Natsume could casually come up with an interesting Ninjutsu.
Well, what on earth is this called?
Natsume thought to himself that this was like teaching himself.
"Teacher."
Hagoromo Otsutsuki greeted him politely.
"Teacher!"
Same form of address, but when Natsume spoke to Hamura otsutsuki, his voice was twice as loud, and there was a warm smile on his face.
"How's the situation?"
Natsume nodded, then asked.
"I feel like they're learning really slowly."
Hamura otsutsuki scratched his head and wondered, "Why is that?"
Because you're not human.
Natsume thought to himself but said aloud, "It's a matter of talent. You and your brother are true prodigies with extremely high talents, while they are much less gifted."
"Wow!"
A big smile appeared on Hamura otsutsuki's face, and he said excitedly, "So I'm a genius!"
"Your teaching work for today is over."
Natsume patted Hamura otsutsuki on the back and said, "Go and have fun."
After all, they were just two-year-old kids, and the nature to play was stronger.
Hearing this, the two happily left the square.
"I've released the first main quest, which is to unify the world."
Natsume turned to look at the crowd in the square and said, "There are also many side quests under the main quest, each with its own rewards. So, everyone, work hard!"
"Yes!"
A unison reply rang out.
Although Natsume called them players, they were still far from the so-called Fourth Natural Disaster[b]Fourth Natural Disaster[/b].
After all, they were quite obedient.
"Next, you three thousand will form the first ninja army of the Ancestral Country. Let's call it the Goddess Army."
Natsume casually came up with a name and said, "You'll take three days to rest, and then set off for our neighboring Country of That and conquer them."
This time, the cheers roared even louder.
The Country of That was stronger than the Ancestral Country in national power.
Moreover, the two countries were close to each other and there had always been frictions.
But every time, it ended with the Ancestral Country suffering losses.
Over time, the two countries had formed an irreconcilable hatred.
Now that they had a chance to get revenge, they were naturally very excited.
"There's also a hidden quest that will be unlocked when you meet certain conditions."
Natsume said with a smile, "If you complete it, there will be very generous rewards."
This hidden quest was to find Isshiki otsutsuki.
Of course, he didn't directly mention the name but only described his characteristics.
Seeing the crowd showing a full-fledged fighting spirit, Natsume left the square contentedly.
And in a very distant place, a frog also disappeared.
Mount Myoboku.
Gamamaru, the frog sage, listened to the report with a solemn face.
In the past two years, it had been focusing on Kaguya otsutsuki, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, and Hamura otsutsuki.
As for Natsume, he was overlooked.
Because he seemed to be an ordinary human being, just a lucky guy chosen by Kaguya otsutsuki.
No, he shouldn't be called a lucky guy, but an unlucky guy.
He was doomed to die.
But now the frog sage suddenly realized a big problem.
It didn't raise any red flags when the Heavenly Network[b]Heavenly Network[/b] appeared.
It wasn't until the three-thousand-strong Ninja army was formed that it roughly guessed what Kaguya otsutsuki was up to.
To harvest humans gently to nourish the God Tree[b]God Tree[/b].
With Kaguya otsutsuki's personality, she would never come up with such a strange idea.
There was only one culprit.
Natsume.
The frog sage's face turned ashen.
As a human, submitting to an alien was truly despicable!
But it also had doubts.
Why wasn't Natsume in its prophecy?
It was as if he had appeared out of thin air.
This isn't scientific!
How could Kaguya otsutsuki just pick a random person and he be so smart?
Could she really be a person favored by fate?
"Go and inform the gods everywhere. We must stop them," the frog sage commanded in a solemn voice.
They couldn't defeat Kaguya otsutsuki, but these three thousand ninjas were no match.
As long as they stopped them, they could slow down their advance.
Moreover, this Natsume definitely couldn't be left alive.
In just two years, he had caused so much trouble.
If it went on like this, it would be a disaster.
A Kaguya otsutsuki with power but no wisdom could still be defeated.
But how could they fight someone with both power and wisdom?
Three days passed in a flash.
"This is so delicious!" Hamura otsutsuki gobbled his food and exclaimed at the same time.
"Hamura, don't shout while eating," Hagoromo Otsutsuki chewed gracefully and reminded him.
Kaguya otsutsuki tilted her head slightly, glanced at the two brothers, pursed her lips, and showed a gentle smile.
At this moment, she displayed a bit of maternal glow.
Although in essence, she was still a young girl.
"Mom, I read the book the teacher gave me yesterday. I have a question," Hamura otsutsuki asked, looking up without paying any attention to Hagoromo Otsutsuki's reminder.
This mini - chapter is not over yet. More exciting content is coming!
The books Natsume gave them weren't exchanged from the [Tamaki of Destiny], but existed in this world.
What if these two couldn't figure it out and instead of becoming ninjas, they went to become emperors?
That would be really interesting.
"What is it?" Kaguya otsutsuki asked calmly.
"It says in the book that all children are the fruit of their parents' love. Then where is my father?" Hamura otsutsuki asked innocently and curiously.
"The fruit of love?" Kaguya otsutsuki subconsciously looked at Natsume.
There was confusion in her eyes.
What is love?
Why can a man and a woman have a child when they're together?
Natsume noticed her gaze, and his face stiffened.
He knew the principle.
But how could he explain it?
"I get it!" Hamura otsutsuki looked at Kaguya otsutsuki and then at Natsume.
His smart little brain was working overtime.
"The teacher is my father!" Hamura otsutsuki said excitedly.
There were two reasons for his excitement.
Firstly, he didn't dislike Natsume. On the contrary, he liked Natsume's care and his strange ideas.
Secondly, he thought he had solved the mystery of his own origin.
Natsume was completely stunned.
"Hamura, don't talk nonsense," Hagoromo Otsutsuki, obviously more mature than his clueless younger brother, said, "The teacher isn't our father."
He could tell that Natsume and the three of them were completely different species.
In the books he had read, it was mentioned that only the same species could produce offspring.
"Cough, cough. Your mother is the Goddess Lady, so she's special," Natsume said, glancing at Kaguya Otsutsuki.
It would have been better for her to explain, but her eyes were vacant. Maybe she was still wondering what love was.
"Don't we have a father?" Hamura Otsutsuki instantly showed a disappointed look.
"It's okay. You don't have a father, but you have a teacher," Natsume smiled and comforted.
Hamura, being just a child, had emotions that came and went quickly. He soon threw himself into the great cause of having a meal.
"The Ninjutsu you asked for is completed," Kaguya Otsutsuki moved her head, snapped back to reality, and stopped thinking about other things.
"Thanks," Natsume reached out his hand and secretly thought that Lady Kaguya was really useful.
Next time, if he has the chance, he'll have her create a long - range Gentle Fist[b]Gentle Fist[/b].
Kaguya Otsutsuki said nothing, held his hand, and transmitted the Ninjutsu information.
Hamura Otsutsuki saw this scene, rolled his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Natsume carefully checked the information in his mind and couldn't help but nod.
This summoning Ninjutsu perfectly met his requirements.
Well, it'd be called Goddess Summoning[b]Goddess Summoning[/b].
After the meal, Natsume came to the square.
"War often means sacrifice," he began to give a speech. "Although you are stronger than ordinary Samurai, you will still get injured and die. However, with the presence of the Goddess Lady, in her great mercy, she has bestowed two divine jutsu for you to use."
Natsume added Goddess Summoning[b]Goddess Summoning[/b] and the resurrection jutsu to the Heavenly Network Log - in Device.
Instantly, the square erupted with countless exclamations and cheers.
"Resurrection? It can actually resurrect?!"
"Doesn't it mean we won't be afraid of death anymore?!"
"..."
"Goddess Lady!"
"Goddess Lady!"
Finally, all the discussions converged into four words.
Natsume smiled. He didn't care about these people's loyalty. Anyway, none of them would be left after a thousand years.
"For this expedition, focus on taking captives. Got it?"
His plan was to select those who surrendered and make them new players, and hand over those who refused to submit to Kaguya Otsutsuki to be turned into White Zetsu.
Natsume was concerned that his Heavenly Network might cause the disappearance of White Zetsu.
The impact would be too great and not worth it.
"Understood!"
Three thousand members of the Goddess Army immediately set off towards the neighboring country.
Natsume didn't go.
It was simply too boring. It would be better to accompany Kaguya Otsutsuki and have some fun.
Four thousand words.
