Chapter 470: Chapter 115. Almost There
[V2] - Chapter 115. Almost There
---
"So, that's how it is. Our plan was discovered, and the 'people from the heavens' that Mom spoke of were also taken care of by the Ninja World. Now the entire Ninja World is at peace—even the Moon has internet, and express delivery can be sent there from the Ninja World. Maybe it's because of the virtual base station that Mom was able to catch a signal and come here."
"…"
Hearing Black Zetsu's words, Otsutsuki Kaguya was completely stunned.
The world has changed this much?!
You have to understand, a thousand years isn't considered much for the Otsutsuki clan, yet humans have managed to change so much in such a short time.
However…
The "people from the heavens"...
"They were taken care of too?" A complex and wistful look flashed in Kaguya's eyes. "They are… immortal. How did the Ninja World kill them? Once their Kama fully unfreezes, they'll be resurrected again!"
"Kama?"
"Could it be… the Kama wasn't generated in time?"
"That… probably not!" Black Zetsu thought for a moment. "The White Zetsus didn't notice any changes at the time."
"Then… what happened to them in the end?"
"They…" Black Zetsu hesitated, "They're like you now, Mom. Trapped in this game as bosses. Except, unlike you, when they get killed, they don't just log off."
"…"
Hearing Black Zetsu's explanation, the previously cold and calm Kaguya was stunned once again.
Scenes from the past few days flashed through her mind… getting killed! Getting killed! And more getting killed!
She hadn't expected…
Those guys had ended up like this too?
"Where are they now? Why haven't I seen them these past few days?"
"They're different from you, Mom. They're in the Otsutsuki Dungeon. As final bosses, not just anyone can challenge them. You need to get an Otsutsuki Invitation Ticket to meet them. But… no one has cleared the dungeon yet!" Black Zetsu said thoughtfully. Over the past few days, he had gathered quite a bit of game intel for his mother. "Maybe if Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara teamed up, they might succeed."
He didn't know if either of them could clear it solo.
After he finished speaking—
"…"
Kaguya fell silent again, then looked darkly at Black Zetsu. "Then why is it like this for me?"
Why… was she always the one getting farmed the moment she appeared?!
"That's probably because… Mom snuck in here," Black Zetsu explained cautiously. "So that Uchiha Yuto deliberately set it up this way. That guy can control and modify the game! But…" he patted his chest, "Don't worry, Mom. Even though Uchiha Madara has discovered us now, we haven't given up. I believe that as long as we keep hiding, we'll find a way to rescue you! Besides… we've already found someone who can inherit Madara's will."
At first, he was against it. But now that he thought about it… isn't this actually a good plan?!
After all, that Uchiha Yuto is truly terrifying!
As his daughter, she might just bring unexpected benefits in the future.
"She'll definitely become a powerful ninja and awaken the Rinnegan!"
As he spoke—
Seeing the task notification pop up on the quest bar, he realized the mission had already started. He quickly said, "I have to go complete the mission. The White Zetsus guarding Mom have been grinding hard these days. I believe we absolutely won't let anyone disturb Mom!"
With that, he rushed out to rally all the White Zetsus from the God Tree Guild to counter the hunting faction.
Thanks to this mission—
Quite a few foolish humans had joined them recently to help protect Mom!
What a bunch of fools!
And as for Otsutsuki Kaguya… she silently watched Black Zetsu leave, then looked at the [prison cage] holding her.
Although this place wasn't as dark as being sealed away, she still couldn't move freely here.
And she couldn't hurt others, nor could others hurt her. Only when the defending faction fell into a disadvantage could she act.
Touching the flowers and plants in front of her, her eyes fixed on them as she murmured to herself, "Uchiha Yuto…"
A descendant of Hagoromo?
…
"I heard Orochimaru's research over there is going really well!" After finishing the call, Hanabi excitedly bounced over with a big smile. "Maybe it won't be long before we can reach the Alternate Ninja World." Saying that, she pinched the little Yumi beside her happily, "Then Yumi will get to see the other Grandpa!"
The words fell—
However, Yuto could only give an awkward smile. Although he was also glad to be able to go to the Alternate Ninja World, well… sigh, better not talk about it!
Going to the Alternate Ninja World… probably the only thing that would make him happy besides upgrading would be hearing Sasuke call him uncle~
It's not easy!
Of course.
If the Alternate Ninja World really got connected, there would still be a lot of trouble. After all, the enemies who died in the Alternate Ninja World might still be living well in this one, so some reckless people might come here to assassinate.
Also, people with families here might also have families in the other world. If their spouses aren't the same person, it could cause chaos.
The chaos from the recent resurrection hasn't even settled yet!
[Huh? Shouldn't the Hokage be handling these? Why am I dealing with so much?]
At this moment—
"Oh right!" Hanabi happily said again, "They're planning to do experiments at the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom of Roran, so to make communication easier, the other Orochimaru asked me to check if you could open some milk tea shops in the Land of Wind?"
"?!" Hearing Hanabi, Yuto was slightly stunned, then sighed emotionally, "That Orochimaru really is a good guy!"
He's even planning to let him expand his business to the Land of Wind.
If Danzo really has a heart attack at that time, no Orochimaru is innocent!
"Well, thanks to him for his help! Build it! Build it away! Oh~" As if remembering something, "Ask Orochimaru how good medical ninja's heart treatment techniques are there?"
"???"
Why ask that?
…
"Has the experiment started yet? Orochimaru, I really didn't misjudge you! If it succeeds, rest assured I won't treat you unfairly!"
"No, no… no need! Just send the research funds over!"
"I'll notify the Hokage."
"Thanks for the trouble! I'm hanging up now. Hey, Advisor Danzo, how's your heart?"
"Great! Why?"
"That's good! The most important thing in life is happiness and thinking positively about everything. Like me, in the end, I got caught but still lived well, right? That's all. Goodbye!"
"???"
Danzo looked at his phone, dumbfounded.
Why would Orochimaru ask that?
Could it be… he's worried about him having heart disease?
Thinking that, he involuntarily lowered his head, touched his chest, frowned slightly, and murmured, "Could that guy have noticed something wrong with my body?"
But, why can't he feel it?
He eats and drinks every day, can jump around, seems healthy!
"Forget it! I'll arrange for a medical ninja to check later!" Seeing nothing wrong, Danzo sighed, shook his head, and stopped paying attention.
Leaning on his golden dragon-headed cane, his expression firm, his eyes seemed to shine as he looked ahead, "Is it about to succeed?"
Getting closer and closer!
Getting closer and closer!
He even felt as if he could already see the Root Group surpassing the Yuto Group by a step, ultimately dominating the Alternate Ninja World!
A slight smile curved on his lips, "Maybe it's time to hold a meeting?"
Alternate Ninja World Development Meeting?!
Once the time comes, just execute his orders directly, no need to waste time!
After he finished speaking—
The golden dragon-headed cane in his hands seemed to glisten faintly in the sunlight—that was… the light of hope and vision for the future!
