"You," the Third Hokage struggled to kneel on one leg, using one arm to support the other half of his body. His voice was weak, "Otsutsuki… never heard of that name. You… why… here?" As soon as he finished speaking, the arm that was supporting his aging body could no longer hold on. With a "whoosh," it slowly fell to the side.
"Lifetaker, return Sarutobi Hiruzen's soul to him." A powerful voice rang out again, it was the man in white who called himself Tsukiyomi, who had instantly teleported. An arm extended from a pixelated black hole, forcefully grabbing the Third's arm. "You don't need to know who I am. Stop talking, Konoha is safe."
Sarutobi Hiruzen felt safe for the first time. Reliable, warm, even though the man in white exuded coldness with his power. But the warmth in his heart could never be concealed by his appearance! Although Tsukiyomi was also puzzled as to why he arrived so timely, and he was only in Konoha to complete a mission for his family, he happened to encounter the invasion of Konoha. Feeling the summoning of his family's Lifetaker, he rushed over immediately, finally saving the Third at the last moment.
Feeling the Third's desire to protect Konoha, Tsukiyomi smiled slightly, and the Third passed out peacefully. Tsukiyomi decided to help him all the way, using his unique spatial ability to teleport the Third to the medical team.
"Arrogant brat, I don't know where you come from, or what your purpose is, but today you have invaded Konoha, you will surely die here! I am the 32nd generation Lifetaker of the Otsutsuki clan. Anyone who stands in my way, will be destroyed!"
This was a top-tier powerhouse. Even though the entire clan had lived in hiding for thousands of years, their ancestral bloodline and ninjutsu were unmatched by the outside world! His aura shot into the sky, and the Nine-Tailed Fox, a thousand meters away, was so frightened that it shivered and immediately turned its head towards Tsukiyomi's location. It was a familiar chakra. It was Otsutsuki.
The Nine-Tailed Fox was all too familiar with the origins of the Otsutsuki clan. The only master it recognized, the first head of the Otsutsuki clan, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, was the legendary figure who created the Ninshu and gave birth to the shinobi world. The oath they made back then was that the Nine-Tailed Beasts would be the guardian deities of the world, protecting world peace, while the Otsutsuki clan would remain as a force behind the scenes, intervening only when the shinobi world was in danger. Could it be that the shinobi world was now in danger? The Nine-Tailed Fox couldn't help but wonder, then it jumped out of the encirclement of the shinobi and charged towards the man in white who possessed the Otsutsuki aura.
The cloaked figure, facing Otsutsuki Tsukiyomi, had already begun to worry about his plan and was thinking about how to escape. In fact, for him, as long as he wanted to, no one could catch him. Yes, he was that arrogant.
But when faced with a ninja even more bizarre than himself, the panic and tension in his heart were also evident on the face behind his mask. However, for the sake of his own aura, he still sneered: "Want my life? Can you catch me? Come on, come on, it's been a long time since anyone played with me." But his voice trembled slightly.
Sharingan, activate!
Without any unnecessary words, Tsukiyomi activated his eye! As a direct descendant of the Otsutsuki clan, how could he not have a dōjutsu? Although Tsukiyomi only had the Sharingan, it was enough for a messenger.
As soon as he opened his eye, a shuriken shape appeared, spinning in his eye socket. Gradually, it stopped. No, it didn't! Suddenly, stripes appeared on the side! The Sharingan spun rapidly, and in a short moment, the transformation was complete. This pair of eyes was only possessed by the legend of the Uchiha clan - Uchiha Madara! This was the Eternal Mangekyō!
Just by looking at this eye, the Nine-Tailed Fox felt complete pressure. The next second, it was already kneeling at Tsukiyomi's feet, bowing respectfully. It believed in Hagoromo's rules and was willing to obey the Otsutsuki clan's orders. It was a product of the Otsutsuki clan.
Seeing the Nine-Tailed Fox turn its back on its side, the cloaked figure was still struggling. "Nine-Tailed Fox, come back! We agreed to cause trouble together, why did you run away again? You're such a worry. Oh, please, Your Majesty, come back…"
"Enough, shut up, you clown! You think you can control me with your impure Sharingan? Leading the Tailed Beasts doesn't require eyes! You don't have the heart. So, please pay the price for your crimes!" The Nine-Tailed Fox had been furious at being controlled, and now it was like a fox taking advantage of its power, viciously scolding the cloaked figure.
"Alright, Kurama, we need you, please cooperate with our Otsutsuki clan's work."
Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox instantly quieted down. For thousands of years, no one had called it by this name. Finally, the time had come for Kurama to be reborn. At this moment, the cloaked figure was already ignored by Tsukiyomi, after all, no elephant would care about an ant about to be crushed under its feet. That's right, the opponent who had left the Third Hokage helpless was just an ant to the Otsutsuki clan.
Bloodline sometimes really does explain a lot.
"Lifetaker, if you have nothing else, please return to the clan." Tsukiyomi turned around and said to the towering Shinigami with a pleasant smile.
The shinobi behind him heard this, then looked up at the Shinigami, only to find that he was wearing the same white robe, and the substance in his hand was the same as the three floating spheres, he was also a member of the Otsutsuki clan! Perhaps this kind of ninjutsu was proof that the Otsutsuki clan was still active in the shinobi world.
At the same time, Minato arrived, he saw the Nine-Tailed Fox bowing to the man in white, and the cloaked figure trembling. What a blow this scene would be to a shinobi who had just been helpless! The powerful monster that he had exhausted his chakra and united with numerous shinobi to fight, was instantly subdued by a seemingly ordinary opening ceremony, bowing at the feet of a stranger.
What's the use of training? Perhaps in the face of true bloodline, none of that matters.
Maybe…
"Alright, you're the current Hokage, the Fourth, Namikaze Minato, right? The head of the clan said that today is your child's birthday, the Otsutsuki clan specially sent me to congratulate you." Tsukiyomi watched the Lifetaker go back to the clan territory, then announced the purpose of his visit to Minato, who had just arrived.
Of course, Minato was still in a daze. No one would believe that an unknown powerful clan would send a powerful messenger to congratulate them and at the same time save Konoha. However, his strong psychology still pushed him to barely say a "thank you." Similarly, he was also weak and exhausted after the battle.
"Hey, hey! No one is paying attention to me! What are you guys chatting about, I'm still here, hey, I'm the one who released the Nine-Tailed Fox. What are you doing, I want to dance, hahahahaha." At this moment, the cloaked figure was just trying to boost his own courage.
But as the old saying goes, if you don't act stupid, you won't die.
Tsukiyomi hated trouble, hearing this noisy voice, he couldn't help but glance at the cloaked figure with his Eternal Mangekyō.
His eyes didn't go back… he just glanced at the cloaked figure who was still making a ruckus with his dōjutsu eyes.
"You… um, okay." No one knew what happened, only the Uchiha clan members present felt the dōjutsu fluctuations. In that instant, Tsukiyomi activated his dōjutsu, aiming at the single-eyed hole, and injected a trace of angry dōjutsu power into the cloaked figure's eye.
It was just that brutal, unreasonable, and powerful.
The cloaked figure was not a pushover either, after feeling the pressure, he automatically released his body from the control of the dōjutsu, and started babbling again. But this time he was more cautious, his eyes no longer looked outward, only glancing at the shinobi opposite him. When he found that no one was paying attention to him anymore, he did something unbelievable.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
Four hand seals were formed within a second, and he spewed out a high-temperature flame, interrupting Tsukiyomi's speech.
This act directly angered Tsukiyomi.
Amenotejikara!
Tsukiyomi's body slowly disappeared, vanishing into a black hole, silently and without a trace, even the Sensory shinobi couldn't detect the transfer, and when he reappeared, he was already behind the cloaked figure.
Kōsatsu Shikotsu! The super high-density bone spurs he had condensed within his body pierced out from his palm, stabbing towards the cloaked figure at an incredible speed. But the cloaked figure was, after all, a top-level expert who dared to challenge Konoha alone, his battle instincts had already surpassed his brain's operation through multiple battles. He instantly leaned back, taking him out of danger. The cloaked figure was not someone who was oblivious to the situation either, seeing that the stage he had set up was ruined by someone who shouldn't have been there, and his plan was disrupted, he decisively hid himself and left the battlefield.
However, his goofy personality was probably beyond repair, and before leaving, he couldn't help but say: "Don't forget me, oh, Konoha's good friends! Your Majesty will be back, hahahahaha!" As soon as he finished speaking, a vortex appeared on his body, and in a short time, his entire body was sucked in, disappearing without a trace.
Tsukiyomi didn't bother to chase after him, after all, the Otsutsuki clan wouldn't care about a small ninja. As long as they were still there, the shinobi world wouldn't be in any real danger. All the Otsutsuki clan members firmly believed in this and worked hard for it.
Tsukiyomi was lost in thought when Minato, supported by Kakashi, stood up and slowly walked towards Tsukiyomi, dragging his legs.
"Otsutsuki Tsukiyomi, thank you for your great service in saving Konoha. From now on, Konoha will treat you and your entire clan as honored guests. Konoha will always be open to you!"
Minato, of course, understood the situation. As a Hokage, how could he miss the opportunity to win over a powerful ally? So he immediately gave Tsukiyomi his assurance.
Although this was reasonable, Tsukiyomi was still surprised. He didn't expect a Hokage to trust a stranger whose identity as friend or foe was still unknown. But the next scene made him learn a new skill: facepalming.
Minato smiled, suddenly looked up and said directly: "I think your clothes are very clean, you don't look like a bad guy."
…
So that could be a reason, huh? "Good thing my clothes are clean." Tsukiyomi thought secretly.
"So let's continue with the main topic…" He had only said half of the sentence, when he heard whispers behind him: "So handsome, the white-clothed angel!" "Yes, Konoha doesn't have a handsome man as pure and clean as him besides the Hokage." "Yeah, yeah, he's a god descended to earth."
Once again, the new skill "facepalming" came in handy.
"Quiet down, comrades, Tsukiyomi-sama has something to say." Seeing this, Minato had to step in to stop the many young girls who were smitten.
This made Tsukiyomi appreciate Minato even more, and he then told Minato about the mission entrusted to him by his clan.
"We, the Otsutsuki clan, are a powerful clan that has long been behind the scenes in the shinobi world. We are here today because the elders of our clan want me to entrust our clan's genius child to Konoha, and we hope that you can store Kurama in your child using your methods. We need this power."
