Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Working Hard to Kidnap Away Kaguya otsutsuki
The unforgettable night finally came to an end.
Natsume lay in his bed, gazing at the starry sky outside the window.
After a moment, he raised his arm, and his gaze fell on the Tamaki of Destiny.
"If I want to take Kaguya otsutsuki back to the ninja world, how much destiny value do I need?"
"Five thousand destiny points."
A line of words quickly appeared before his eyes.
Holy shit!
So expensive?
You'll end up being strung up on the lamppost for this!
But upon careful consideration, it was completely reasonable.
Five thousand points were not only inexpensive but also quite a bargain.
Natsume had spent three thousand nine hundred points to exchange for the Sage Body.
But could the value of the Sage Body compare to that of Kaguya otsutsuki?
Definitely not.
Spending five thousand destiny points to get a Kaguya otsutsuki was a huge profit.
Of course, the prerequisite was that the favorability level was high enough.
Otherwise, it'll be a total bust.
"Can I get a loan?"
Natsume didn't have five thousand destiny points at the moment; he was still over a thousand points short.
Moreover, there were not many ways to obtain destiny points in this world.
It would probably take a long time to accumulate five thousand destiny points.
It would be better to go back to the ninja world and earn them.
Seeing that the Tamaki of Destiny didn't respond, Natsume began to reason with it.
"After all these years, don't you understand me yet? Am I the kind of person who would renege on a debt? And with Kaguya otsutsuki, the speed at which I can obtain destiny points will double. It won't take long to pay off the debt..."
Well, this theory was actually the same as the idea of establishing the Heavenly Network.
He had been dealing with Kaguya otsutsuki for the past few years, so he was very used to speaking like this.
Soon, a pleasant prompt sound rang out.
[Loan Contract: Only available to the host. You can borrow two thousand destiny points and must pay them back within five years. If the deadline is exceeded, you need to return double the amount.]
Natsume exhaled and felt much more relaxed.
With this item, he no longer had anything to worry about.
Next came the implementation of the plan to kidnap away Kaguya otsutsuki.
His plan was to make her fight Isshiki otsutsuki and be at a disadvantage.
At this time, he would have a reason to save her.
Kaguya otsutsuki wouldn't blame him for acting on his own.
Although she was immortal, Natsume didn't know that. In a moment of desperation, it was normal to pay a huge price to take her away.
And this was indeed saving her.
If it weren't for Natsume, she would have been locked in a dark room for a thousand years.
How wretched!
Theoretically, Isshiki otsutsuki was stronger.
Based on his performance in the original story, his combat experience far surpassed that of Kaguya otsutsuki.
But now he was injured and didn't dare to show up.
He needed someone, no, a frog to help him.
There was a precious treasure on Mount Myoboku called the Sage's Talisman.
In the original story, it had once saved Hamura otsutsuki.
Isshiki otsutsuki was at a higher level of life. It was impossible for him to return to his peak state with this talisman.
Natsume didn't think the Sage's Talisman had such power either.
But it should be able to restore a lot of Isshiki otsutsuki's strength.
"I need an insider."
Natsume narrowed his eyes slightly and thought of Katsuyu Sage.
In previous operations, only the frog sage and the White Snake Sage were seen, and the Katsuyu Sage was nowhere to be found.
Based on his understanding of the Katsuyu Sage, he guessed that it didn't really care and was rather carefree.
After all, it was the only one in the Shikkotsu Forest and didn't have any other pressure.
It wasn't as persistent towards humans as the frog sage was.
A new day dawned.
After Natsume cooked breakfast for the mother and her two children, he teleported to the Shikkotsu Forest.
It cost him ten points of destiny value.
Not too bad.
Natsume opened his eyes and immediately felt the natural energy far more abundant than in later generations.
His arrival was immediately noticed by the Katsuyu Sage.
But it didn't know it was Natsume; it was just quite surprised.
How could there be a human here?
In less than a moment, a split body of the Katsuyu Sage appeared in front of Natsume.
"What? It's you?!"
It couldn't maintain its gentle tone and showed signs of shock and panic.
Since Natsume had found this place, did it mean that Kaguya otsutsuki would also arrive?
The Katsuyu Sage's heart skipped a beat.
Was its life about to end?
"Hello, Katsuyu Sage."
Natsume greeted.
He didn't reveal his true face and still pretended to be the Emperor of the Ancestral Country.
In fact, except in front of Kaguya otsutsuki, he always used a false identity.
"Y - you... hello."
The Katsuyu Sage tilted its head, with a look of surprise in its eyes.
This human didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
And it didn't detect any trace of Kaguya otsutsuki either.
"I hope to cooperate with you."
Natsume said straightforwardly.
"Cooperate?"
The Katsuyu Sage instinctively wanted to refuse. It hadn't considered betraying the Three Great Holy Places.
But in this situation, it wasn't appropriate to refuse.
Kaguya otsutsuki wasn't here at the moment, but it knew this human in front of it had a close relationship with her.
"What kind of cooperation?"
The Katsuyu Sage decided to listen to the details first.
"Your group should go and find Isshiki otsutsuki, use the Sage's Talisman[b]Sage's Talisman[/b] to save him, and then go against Kaguya otsutsuki."
Natsume said calmly.
"Ah?"
The Katsuyu Sage was completely stunned.
What was going on?
Did this human have a change of heart and want to betray Kaguya otsutsuki?
It was so shocked that it didn't even notice that Natsume actually knew about the Sage's Talisman[b]Sage's Talisman[/b].
"You're willing to help us?!"
The Katsuyu Sage blurted out.
"This isn't help; it's cooperation."
Natsume corrected its statement.
"..."
The Katsuyu Sage stared at him, trying to find any signs of lying.
But there were none.
Could it be true?
"I have no reason to lie to you."
Natsume lifted his bracelet, the Heavenly Network Log-in Device, and stated, "As long as I wish, Kaguya otsutsuki will immediately appear here and kill you, but I haven't done so. This is my sincerity."
The Katsuyu Sage trembled.
It wasn't angry at his threat. Instead, it thought what he said was reasonable.
But it always felt something was amiss.
Natsume's defection was so sudden.
It seemed that something was amiss no matter how one looked at it.
"I agree to the cooperation."
The Katsuyu Sage put aside its overthinking and nodded.
It wasn't the time to think about problems now.
If you don't agree, you'll have to face Kaguya Otsutsuki[b]Kaguya Otsutsuki[/b].
Who can handle that?
"A wise choice," Natsume smiled, took out a Summoning Scroll, and said, "This is a gift for our first meeting."
"What's this?" The curiosity showed in Katsuyu Sage's eyes.
"Through it, you can make a contract with humans, let them do things for you and be your spokesmen," Natsume explained. "In return, you can teach them the Sage Art and Natural Energy."
"Who on earth are you?" Katsuyu Sage asked in disbelief. "How do you know so much about the Three Great Holy Places and can even use Natural Energy?"
"I'm just a passing Ninja," Natsume glanced at it and said teasingly.
The next second, he returned to the Ancestral Country.
[Due to your actions, the fates of Isshiki Otsutsuki, the frog sage, the White Snake Sage, and Katsuyu Sage have changed. You've gained a total of 100 destiny values.]
This trip was worth it.
Natsume nodded in satisfaction.
In the Metropolis of the Land of Demons[b]Land of Demons[/b], in an izakaya.
Many people were curiously looking at the monk in the corner.
He was wolfing down his lunch at that moment.
There was wine and meat on the table, which seemed quite sumptuous.
He didn't look like a monk at all.
Jigen didn't care about their looks.
In his eyes, they were just a bunch of ants.
He was actually Isshiki Otsutsuki.
After being seriously injured, he possessed Jigen's body.
To recover his strength, he traveled around looking for available resources.
But unfortunately, this world was too barren and there were no rare treasures.
He estimated that it would take a thousand years for him to fully regain his strength.
Thinking of this, hatred welled up on his face.
Damn Kaguya Otsutsuki[b]Kaguya Otsutsuki[/b]!
This inferior clan member!
She forced him into such a sorry state.
And she herself was honored as the Goddess of the Rabbit, living a life of luxury and privilege.
How ridiculous!
She was clearly an invader.
Humans were so stupid.
Not far from him, a young man was cautiously observing him.
A monk with a special symbol.
He should be the one described in the hidden mission.
The young man couldn't help taking a deep breath.
This hidden mission had been issued for a long time.
But no player had ever completed it.
Even many experts couldn't do it.
Now the chance was in his hands.
He was already fantasizing about achieving great success with the mission reward. Maybe he could even make it onto the player ranking list.
In that case, he would have the opportunity to meet the Goddess and become someone extraordinary.
The young man immediately contacted the official customer service.
The next second, Natsume received the message.
He activated the Flying Thunder God Technique[b]the Flying Thunder God Technique[/b].
He transformed into an ordinary human and walked into the izakaya, immediately recognizing Jigen's identity.
But instead of informing Kaguya Otsutsuki[b]Kaguya Otsutsuki[/b], he informed Katsuyu Sage.
After Jigen finished his meal, he returned to his mansion.
He was a man who knew how to savor life.
He came to the Land of Demons[b]Land of Demons[/b] because it was the only country that Kaguya Otsutsuki[b]Kaguya Otsutsuki[/b] had left untouched.
Although he didn't quite understand why, it was undoubtedly safer than other places.
He knew that Kaguya otsutsuki had been looking for him.
The unification of the world was also aimed at getting more manpower.
But it was useless.
Unless Kaguya otsutsuki came in person, no one could see through his disguise.
As for the Heavenly Network, given his arrogant personality, he naturally wouldn't bother to learn about it.
"Frog?"
As soon as Jigen opened the door, he saw an orange frog and couldn't help being stunned.
What was going on?
He was confident that he couldn't be found.
Even if he was found, it shouldn't have been by the natives of this world.
The Three Great Holy Places sounded quite imposing. But in his eyes, they were just weaklings that could be easily crushed.
"I'm Gamamaru from Mount Myoboku," the frog sage said directly. "We can cooperate to defeat Kaguya otsutsuki together."
"Ridiculous!"
Hearing this, Jigen sneered without hesitation. "Do you think you're worthy?"
"We're indeed no match for Kaguya otsutsuki, but you can be," the frog sage said with a smile.
"Of course I can," Jigen lifted his chin and said proudly. "She's always been my defeated opponent."
But soon he remembered that he couldn't beat her now, and he suddenly got a bit annoyed.
"Get out of here!"
Jigen didn't take action because he was worried about being detected by Kaguya otsutsuki.
"We can help you recover from your injuries," the frog sage ignored his attitude and threw out the chips. "The Three Great Holy Places have existed since ancient times. Because of the magic of natural energy, we have some good things."
Jigen's eyes immediately lit up.
He knew the frog sage's purpose, which was nothing more than to let him and Kaguya otsutsuki fight each other to exhaustion so that they could take advantage.
But he couldn't stand his current extremely weak state either.
If he could recover to his peak period, what was there for him to fear?
Even if Kaguya otsutsuki had devoured the Chakra Fruit, she still wouldn't be his match.
He thought for a while and agreed.
Even in his seriously injured state, it would be a piece of cake for him to handle these three so - called sages.
In that case, why not give it a try?
Three thousand words.
