Chapter 237: Kaguya's Little Schemes, The Fall of Kara
Alex was speechless. Kaguya truly lived up to her reputation as a naive airhead.
"Do you not know the value and power of a Chakra Fruit?" he asked.
"I do know that," Kaguya replied honestly. "A Chakra Fruit contains the essence comparable to a living planet. Within the clan, only the elders of the main family are qualified to consume a whole Chakra Fruit. Everyone else can only eat Chakra Pills refined from the fruit."
"So..." Alex stared at her. "You ate an entire Chakra Fruit. To some extent, you are now on equal footing with those so-called elders. Your power is far greater than Isshiki Otsutsuki, who only eats Chakra Pills."
"Is... is that so..." Kaguya stared blankly for a moment.
On second thought, it seemed to be true. Even if she couldn't compare to the elders who had eaten an unknown number of fruits, she was definitely stronger than Isshiki. Why did she still tremble with fear at the mere mention of his name?
It was purely the result of staying in the branch family for too long. The massive gap in strength and the strict hierarchy of the past made her maintain her habitual fear, even after gaining immense power.
When not being cold and aloof, Kaguya's facial expressions were quite rich. It was easy to see what she was thinking. She was old in years, but inexperienced in life.
"Isshiki Otsutsuki is dead," Alex said calmly. "This time, he is truly dead. Even his soul has been annihilated. He cannot be resurrected again."
"D... dead?" Kaguya went blank again.
She had just been calculating that if Isshiki popped up again, she wouldn't be afraid but would kill him instead. She didn't expect the guy to be dead already.
Good riddance! Served him right!
It was just his bad luck to run into these two powerhouses. Even she, who had eaten the Chakra Fruit, was no match for them, let alone Isshiki.
While the death of her enemy was delightful, the realization of her own fate quickly dampened her joy. She looked at the two people in front of her uneasily. She glanced furtively at Konan, then at Alex, standing there at a loss.
Moonlight spilled over her silver-white hair, coating it in a silvery glow. The loose Akatsuki robe was pulled tight by her figure. With the gentle breeze and Kaguya's nervous fidgeting, the robe lifted occasionally, revealing the graceful scenery beneath.
Her skin was pale white. At first glance, it seemed a bit jarring, but after looking for a while, it had a unique beauty.
Kaguya noticed the gaze falling on her body and her eyes flashed with embarrassment and annoyance. She hurriedly covered the hem of the robe with both hands, daring not to move again.
"Ahem." Alex coughed dryly and shook his head, shaking the scene he just saw out of his mind. There was business to attend to; it wasn't the time to continue being distracted.
He took some undergarments from the Storage White Paper and tossed them over. "Put these on properly. Don't flash anyone again."
Flash anyone? Weren't you the one who did it on purpose?!
Kaguya took the clothes, wanting to glare at Alex. But living under the strict hierarchy of the Otsutsuki clan for so long, the concept of survival of the fittest was carved into her bones. She was the weak one now. If she wanted to survive, she absolutely could not resist or anger the strong. She had to obey as much as possible, wait to regain her power, and then turn the tables.
Hmph, one day, I, Kaguya, will descend upon the world as a god again. I will become the Rabbit Goddess that everyone looks up to and fears!
Having thought this through, Kaguya took a deep breath and stopped being shy. Instead, she openly took off the Akatsuki robe and began putting on the underwear right in front of Alex.
As a prisoner, her only capital to regain power and freedom was this body. She had to think of a way to please him, get him to lift the restrictions, and then ambush him...
Alex and Konan exchanged a glance, shaking their heads and suppressing their laughter. Kaguya's inner thoughts were being broadcast to them via the Mental Sphere. This naive woman still wanted to ambush them and become the master again?
Alex watched intently as Kaguya generously changed her clothes.
Mentioning Isshiki Otsutsuki reminded him that the guy had created a faction—Kara. They specialized in collecting the most advanced technology and ninjutsu from the major hidden villages, conducting research in the shadows. It would be beneficial to absorb all the technological achievements Kara had hidden over the years to boost the modernization of the ninja world.
Alex raised an eyebrow. While enjoying the view of Kaguya changing, he asked Konan, "Konan, do you remember Kara?"
"I remember. When we went to Kirigakure, we accidentally discovered that merchant named Takeda was an Outer member of Kara."
Konan activated her Rinne Sharingan again. After sensing for a moment, she said coolly, "Alex, I have located all members of Kara. I also have the locations of their secret bases."
"The organization is very strict, divided into Inners and Outers. The Inner members share Isshiki's goal of planting the God Tree to harvest the Chakra Fruit. As for the Outers..." She spoke slowly, "They are nobles and merchants from various countries with status and wealth. They don't know about the God Tree; they just provide funding and intelligence in secret in exchange for what they need, such as life-extending drugs..."
And drugs to revitalize 'that' aspect...
She didn't want to say it. Alex didn't need that stuff anyway. The Multi-Size Technique was incredibly potent...
"Alex, how do you plan to deal with Kara?"
"Kara..." Alex mused.
This organization spanned the present and the Boruto timeline. But obviously... Boruto was non-flammable trash and would never exist.
In that case... "Kill them all. The new world doesn't need these conspirators."
"Alright."
The Rinne Sharingan on Konan's forehead flashed slightly. Instantly, all members of Kara perished, transformed into White Zetsu.
"Bring Kameda, Hinata, and the others over," Alex said, looking around at the ninjas hanging from the God Tree branches. "Next is to cancel the Infinite Tsukuyomi and let these ninjas, who have become ordinary people, know who the master of the new world is."
