"Damn it!"
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya glared at Kitazawa with a face full of unwillingness.
She'd been imprisoned for a thousand years. After finally breaking free, she was defeated again.
Did that mean she'd be sealed away once more, forced to wait another thousand years?
And with a powerhouse like Kitazawa now in the ninja world… was the contingency she'd left behind—Black Zetsu—still around?
But even if he was, could he really save her? Just thinking about it made it feel impossible.
The only consolation was that she was immortal. As long as she lived, there was hope.
"You think I can only seal you?"
Kitazawa could easily guess what Kaguya was thinking. He crouched down and asked.
"I'm immortal! You can't kill me!"
A bad premonition surged in Kaguya's heart. She forced herself to sound brave and shouted.
"I'm not planning to kill you."
Kitazawa shook his head.
After obtaining Chakra Edible Creation, his new idea was to refine the Ōtsutsuki who descended upon the ninja world—turning their chakra into pills.
But for Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, he had plans beyond just Chakra Edible Creation.
"I knew it—you can't kill me!"
Kaguya relaxed a little and snorted coldly.
"It's not that I can't. I simply don't plan to."
After correcting her, Kitazawa smiled and raised his hand.
Kaguya stared at him, confused.
Then she felt the chakra inside her body draining rapidly, and terror instantly flooded her face.
If it were ordinary chakra loss, she wouldn't care—she could just refine chakra again and recover.
But what she was losing was her chakra ceiling.
That meant she could no longer refine or restore that portion of chakra.
This was permanent loss.
"Momoshiki's Chakra Edible Creation?!"
Kaguya suddenly realized something and shouted in disbelief.
Only Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki's Chakra Edible Creation could extract chakra completely and irreversibly.
"You're from the Ōtsutsuki clan?"
Suppressing her fear, Kaguya asked again.
Kitazawa had displayed far too many Ōtsutsuki abilities.
He didn't have the clan's physical traits, but disguising such traits wasn't hard.
And Kaguya knew perfectly well she had stolen the Divine Tree's fruit—so the Ōtsutsuki would definitely send someone to capture her.
"I'm not Ōtsutsuki."
Kitazawa replied casually.
"Wait! We can cooperate! I'll do anything!"
Seeing that half of her chakra ceiling was already gone, Kaguya panicked.
All her life had revolved around chakra.
Having her chakra taken hurt more than being killed.
And without chakra, even immortality was meaningless—no different from death.
She didn't want to be an immortal weakling.
"We can cooperate."
Kitazawa paused his hand and said.
He wasn't killing Kaguya mainly because he wanted to counterattack the Ōtsutsuki clan.
But he couldn't find their exact location in the universe.
Besides, Kaguya could also serve as bait.
Because the next Ōtsutsuki to descend—Momoshiki and the others—would be targeting her.
If he threw her out there, they would definitely reveal themselves.
That would drag Momoshiki and the rest from the shadows into the open, letting Kitazawa act with much more control.
"I'm an Ōtsutsuki who ate the Divine Tree fruit—I can help you a lot!"
Hearing that, Kaguya felt like she'd narrowly escaped death.
"If we're cooperating, then you need to show me sincerity."
Kitazawa flicked his finger—and continued draining her chakra.
"No—this, not this!"
Kaguya blurted out instinctively.
"Relax. I'm not taking all your chakra."
Seeing her misunderstanding, Kitazawa smiled. "I'll leave you one percent."
"One percent?"
Kaguya's face twisted as she roared. "Then you might as well kill me!"
"I never said I wouldn't give it back."
Kitazawa said calmly. "As long as you perform well, I'll return chakra to you as a reward."
Kaguya let out a breath, but her expression remained ugly.
Losing that much chakra in one go was unacceptable to her.
But under someone else's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head.
And she had no other options.
Kitazawa could have drained her entire chakra ceiling and turned her into a pill.
At least she still had a chance to get her chakra back.
Time slowly passed.
Kaguya's vast chakra was continually condensed in Kitazawa's hand until it finally formed a single pill.
The pill was white, radiating a breathtaking aura—clearly no ordinary object.
At the same time, Kaguya became utterly listless.
The Rinne Sharingan on her forehead shut on its own. Her face went deathly pale, as if she'd fallen gravely ill.
For the first time, Kaguya felt this weak.
Now any random Ōtsutsuki could defeat her easily.
No—maybe it wouldn't even take an Ōtsutsuki. Even a Kage-level powerhouse might beat her.
After all, she had only one percent of her chakra left.
"A fallen goddess—how does it feel now?"
Kitazawa put away the white pill and asked with a smile.
"You… don't forget what you promised."
Kaguya panted.
"I'm a man of my word."
Kitazawa stood. "Come on. I'll take you out."
Kaguya froze for a moment, then struggled to her feet.
Kitazawa grabbed her wrist and activated Dual Kamui.
In an instant, the two of them appeared on the moon.
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo saw Kaguya and instinctively tensed.
But he quickly realized something was off.
She was even weaker than he was now.
Shock spread across Hagoromo's face.
Kitazawa could actually drain her chakra?
But why not drain it completely?
Kaguya glanced at Hagoromo, fury rising in her chest.
But with Kitazawa right there, she didn't dare act—only stood in silence.
"Sir,"
Hagoromo asked proactively, "how do you intend to deal with her?"
"She's still useful,"
Kitazawa replied. "I'm taking her back to the Fire Country Metropolis. I'll personally keep watch over her."
Hagoromo stiffened.
Hesitation flared in his heart.
Kaguya was terrifyingly strong—what if she escaped?
"Don't worry."
Kitazawa guessed what Hagoromo was thinking and smiled. "She won't be able to run."
Kaguya bit her lip.
With her current strength, escaping really would be difficult—but she still thought there might be a chance.
After all, one person's attention is limited. Kitazawa couldn't watch her every second.
"The reason is simple."
Kitazawa turned to Kaguya.
A vertical slit suddenly opened on his forehead.
The Rinne Sharingan opened.
Hagoromo's pupils contracted sharply.
The Rinne Sharingan?!
Kitazawa had been hiding this?
During their fight, he hadn't seen it at all.
"That's impossible!"
Kaguya stumbled back two steps, eyes wide.
She felt even greater fear than Hagoromo did.
Because she knew exactly how terrifying the Rinne Sharingan was.
Unless she could escape the ninja world in an instant, there was no way she could flee Kitazawa's grasp.
In theory, Yomotsu Hirasaka could let her escape the ninja world instantly.
But the problem was, she had only one percent of her chakra now—nowhere near enough to open a portal that far.
"You know whether it's real."
Kitazawa lifted his hand, pinched Kaguya's chin, and smiled. "So don't go looking for death."
Kaguya shuddered and hurriedly shook her head.
The Rinne Sharingan couldn't be faked.
Especially not that endless ocular power within it.
But why did Kitazawa have the Rinne Sharingan?
Did he have another Divine Tree?
At that moment, Kaguya's confusion hit its peak.
She couldn't understand Kitazawa at all.
Hagoromo was just as lost.
But he could finally relax.
With the Rinne Sharingan, Kitazawa had more than enough to keep Kaguya under control.
Besides, there were also Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto—heirs to Yin and Yang power.
"In that case, I'll return to the Pure Land. Until we meet again."
Hagoromo said with clear self-awareness.
Without a physical body, staying outside the Pure Land drained him heavily.
The Pure Land was his home.
As for the ninja world, unless something truly catastrophic happened, he didn't need to appear.
And with Kitazawa around, it would be hard for catastrophe to happen at all.
After Hagoromo left, Kitazawa brought Sasuke and the others back to the Fire Country Metropolis.
"Sasuke, Naruto—you two go back first,"
Kitazawa said.
"Yes, Kitazawa-sensei."
Naruto and Sasuke answered immediately.
In truth, they had many questions about what they'd seen today, but since Kitazawa didn't explain, they didn't feel comfortable pressing.
"What do I need to do?"
Kaguya asked impatiently.
"You're in a hurry, huh."
Kitazawa pushed open the door and walked into the Hokage's office.
"Your Majesty."
Konan immediately came forward.
She instinctively glanced at Kaguya, and a question inevitably surfaced in her mind: Is that… human?
Kaguya looked human, but one glance told you she wasn't a normal human.
Konan then thought of Kisame Hoshigaki.
He didn't look like an ordinary human either.
Konan didn't dwell on it and simply stood behind Kitazawa.
Kaguya ignored her completely.
In Kaguya's eyes, there was only Kitazawa—or rather, her chakra.
"Tell me about the Ōtsutsuki clan."
After thinking for a moment, Kitazawa said.
His understanding of the Ōtsutsuki came from the original work.
But he hadn't read Boruto, so what he "knew" was incomplete at best.
Now that he had the chance, he naturally wanted a proper explanation.
"You really aren't Ōtsutsuki?"
Kaguya asked reflexively. "Then why do you have so many Ōtsutsuki abilities?"
"I'm the one asking you."
Kitazawa smiled faintly. "What—do you not even want that last one percent of chakra anymore?"
"That's not what I meant!"
Kaguya went pale with fear.
"Then talk."
Kitazawa shot back.
Kaguya choked on her anger.
When had she ever suffered such humiliation?
Yet she didn't dare argue, afraid she'd lose even that final one percent.
So she immediately began explaining the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Kitazawa clasped his hands, propped up his chin, and fell into thought.
Konan listened in stunned disbelief.
So beyond the ninja world, there really was an Ōtsutsuki clan that used planets as nourishment to grow Divine Trees?
"…If an Ōtsutsuki consumes enough Divine Tree fruits, they can become an Ōtsutsuki God."
Longing appeared in Kaguya's eyes.
Kitazawa nodded slightly.
In the original work, there was Ōtsutsuki Shibai—an existence said to have become an Ōtsutsuki God.
With a casual movement he could destroy worlds, had no concept of life or death, and could freely cross dimensions.
How to put it…
Too far away.
Kitazawa had no interest in planting trees everywhere.
Besides, he had a system—he didn't need to be as insane as the Ōtsutsuki, wrecking planets for power.
The urgent priority was handling the Ōtsutsuki—Momoshiki and the others—who would descend on the ninja world later.
"Konan,"
After listening, Kitazawa ordered, "starting today, she joins the Anbu. You'll manage her."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Konan snapped back and answered instinctively.
After hearing Kaguya's story, she understood Kaguya's identity and strength were extraordinary.
Yet someone like that feared Kitazawa so completely—and would now become her subordinate. It felt unreal.
"Your codename from now on is 'Kaguya.'"
Kitazawa looked at her.
"Then when will you return my chakra?"
Kaguya didn't care about names. She only wanted her chakra back.
"Depends on your performance."
Kitazawa smiled. "Do well, and I'll give you some."
Kaguya hesitated, wanting to say more, but could only agree in the end.
"Konan, take her to change into Anbu clothes."
Kitazawa stood—and vanished.
The next second, he appeared at the Konoha casino.
"Tsunade-sensei."
He found Tsunade and said, "There's something important I need to tell you."
Seeing his serious expression, Tsunade painfully gave up gambling.
"Come with me."
Kitazawa grabbed her hand and brought her to the Forest of Death.
"Why are we here?"
Tsunade asked, confused.
"Eat this."
Kitazawa took out the pill refined from Kaguya's chakra.
After thinking it through, he decided to give it to Tsunade.
Tsunade was strong—but her strength had limits.
If she ate this pill, she could undergo a complete transformation and become a true powerhouse.
"What kind of pill is this? It doesn't look ordinary."
Tsunade took it and tossed it into her mouth.
The moment she swallowed, her expression changed violently.
An unimaginable surge of chakra erupted inside her, rapidly seeping into her flesh and blood.
Her entire being underwent a world-shaking change.
Kitazawa let out a soft sound of surprise.
The trees around Tsunade began to sway, as if cheering for her.
Wood Release?
Kitazawa thought for a moment and didn't find it surprising.
Tsunade's bloodline, at its core, originated from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
In fact, all ninja bloodlines and chakra ultimately traced back to Kaguya.
After Tsunade gained Kaguya's chakra, her bloodline began to "revert to its origin."
The first "ancestor" she reverted toward was Senju Hashirama.
The second was Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo.
Tsunade's eyes turned into the Rinnegan.
And finally, the third was Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself.
Tsunade's Rinnegan then became the Byakugan.
