Chapter 197 - Chapter 198 One whale falls, all things come to life

Chapter 198 One whale falls, all things come to life

A level 7 ultimate attack can absolutely annihilate the Six Paths of Paths from the perspective of causality, which is equivalent to the level of the Otsutsuki clan.

The Divine Tree is merely an energy-absorbing device controlled by the Otsutsuki clan; no matter how ferocious it may appear, it still falls within this level.

Even the God Tree, which had recovered all the tailed beast chakra and returned to its peak state, could not escape its fate of death under the level 7 ultimate attack.

Moreover, the Gedo Mazo is nothing more than a shell that has lost most of its chakra.

Souji, carrying the wooden statue, walked to the fallen Gedo Mazo.

As soon as he let go, the wooden statue wobbled over, then its hands transformed into roots and burrowed into the demonic statue.

The wooden statue is a specially made clone of the Divine Tree by the system. It looks very similar, like a miniature Divine Tree only the size of a baby.

However, it did not experience the loss of its fruit and chakra.

The wooden statue does not have the crazy and ferocious aura of the Gedo Mazo.

It looks like just a cute little tree person that can move.

The wooden statue's roots burrowed into the body of the Gedo Mazo, and its own size was slowly but steadily increasing, indicating that the wooden statue was gradually absorbing everything from the Gedo Mazo.

Once fully absorbed, and combined with the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, the wooden statue can transform from a clone of the Divine Tree into a true Divine Tree.

With the power of the true divine tree, it can absorb a vast amount of natural energy.

Under the control of the Souji, as long as it mainly focuses on absorbing external energy such as sunlight, it will not only not cause damage to the world itself, but will also provide the world with a vast amount of energy for future development.

Of course, the chakra of the nine tailed beasts is only used to supplement the initial activities of the Divine Tree.

Only a portion of their chakra will be absorbed.

This way, the activities of the Divine Tree can be satisfied, and the power of the tailed beasts can be appropriately weakened to prevent any trouble when they are released in the future.

The plan is for Souji to weaken the power of the Tailed Beasts to a level similar to that of a powerful Jonin.

This power is enough for the Tailed Beasts to protect themselves after regaining their freedom, and they won't be hunted down by villains for various reasons.

Although tailed beasts can revive indefinitely and never truly die, this would cause them to become extremely hostile towards humans, so precautions must be taken.

If it's just at the level of a strong Jonin, then the Tailed Beasts have the ability to protect themselves, but their power is not as strong as before.

Once they start causing trouble, it will be a major disaster.

Especially the Nine-Tails, if it is not specially tried to reform it, the Nine-Tails is really extremely violent and will cause trouble at the drop of a hat.

Its power is also extremely strong, far exceeding that of other tailed beasts.

It is impossible to subdue it easily unless you are at the level of Hashirama or Madara.

Even for Souji, it's easy to beat up Kurama, but without the right conditions, it's impossible to influence Kurama and reconcile with it.

In that case, weakening the power of the tailed beasts is the most suitable arrangement.

He had already negotiated with the other tailed beasts.

Now, inside the wooden statue, he felt his chakra draining away.

Although he was annoyed, he couldn't do anything about it since his fists weren't as big as theirs.

Only the Nine-Tailed Fox was furious and cursed continuously emanating from the wooden statue.

In response, Souji said calmly:

"Kurama, if you keep cursing, when the other tailed beasts are released, you'll be the only one trapped inside.

You'd better think this through."

"..."

Nine-Tails immediately fell silent.

If it were just a normal threat, he wouldn't care at all, but all the other tailed beasts were able to leave, while he was the only one who had to remain trapped...

That would be so embarrassing!

Especially inside the wooden statue, the other tailed beasts watched the show with malicious smiles.

The competitive Nine-Tails was unwilling to become a laughing stock for the other tailed beasts.

Souji smiled to himself, thinking to himself that the Nine-Tails was already too powerful for even strong Jonin, and needed to be weakened further.

It will take the wooden statue quite some time to fully absorb everything from the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

Souji looked up at the sky and said softly:

"Then let's deal with the last problem!"

After saying that, Souji once again channeled chakra into the Rinnegan.

The amount of chakra this time is much larger than when the Gedo Mazo was summoned earlier!

This time, Kaguya Otsutsuki was released from the moon.

Many years ago, Kaguya activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi in order to create White Zetsu.

However, in order to obtain a continuous supply of troops, Kaguya preserved a small number of humans, allowing them to regularly "offer sacrifices" to the Divine Tree.

In other words, the Divine Tree absorbed humans to obtain nutrients and produce White Zetsu.

Kaguya's two children, Hagoromo and Hamura, opposed their mother's actions, leading to a conflict.

To protect humanity, the Hagoromo and Hamura brothers joined forces to fight their mother Kaguya, ultimately using Chibaku Tensei to seal her away.

Stones on the ground flew into the air, forming a spherical stone that surrounded Kaguya, and then flew to a height that no one could reach, forming the moon.

Originally, to release Kaguya from the moon, someone had to become the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, and then use the Ten-Tails' massive chakra to activate the Rinnegan to release Kaguya.

However, the price was that the person who did this would become a sacrifice, and their body would be taken over by Kaguya.

However, as always.

Because he had a cheat code, Souji didn't need to follow the same procedures as everyone else.

The Ten-Tails' chakra is immense, but its chakra...

It's infinite!

Souji will surpass the Ten-Tails God Tree, and his immeasurable chakra will all be gathered into the Rinnegan.

It drives the Rinnegan in the opposite way to Chibaku Tensei.

Immediately, the moon in the sky reacted.

The moon, located in the outer universe and unseen by anyone in the ninja world, is currently trembling violently!

Within a small area, the rocks kept splitting to the left and right, eventually forming a passage leading directly to the center of the moon.

Among them was a beautiful woman in ancient costume with delicate features.

However, the horns on the woman's head, her unusually pale skin, and the prominent Rinne Sharingan on her forehead all indicate that she is a member of the Otsutsuki clan, an alien race.

Kaguya Otsutsuki.

She brought the Divine Tree to this world. Ancient humans were able to develop the physique to cultivate chakra because of the influence of the Divine Tree.

Therefore, although her son, the Sage of Six Paths, was the one who established the Ninja Clan and taught people to cultivate chakra and ninjutsu, the true origin was Kaguya.

Sensing the changes around her, Kaguya slowly opened her eyes and walked out of the passage step by step.

"Who... released me?

Hagoromo or Hamura?"

Kaguya's eyes held a hint of doubt.

During her great battle with the two sons, at the very last moment before she was sealed away, she did create a life form and gave it the order to lie in wait and find an opportunity to release herself from the seal.

However, in Kaguya's mind, someone must have become the Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails God Tree, and their body must have been used as a sacrifice so that she could escape the seal of Chibaku Tensei.

The current situation is... slightly different from what I imagined.

It was more like someone with immense power had forcibly broken the seal.

Who exactly released her?

Kaguya walked through the passage all the way to the surface of the moon.

What she saw was the familiar pitch-black environment of space, and...

A young, handsome man with dark hair looked at her with a faint smile.

Kaguya was stunned.

It's not just because the other person is too handsome.

The main reason is that the other person doesn't have horns or other characteristics of the Otsutsuki clan, so it can be determined that they are not a member of her clan.

However, since they can move freely in outer space, they must be a high-level life form, just like the Otsutsuki.

But this race with this appearance... I've never seen it before.

No matter how hard Kaguya tried, she couldn't recall which cosmic race the person in front of her came from.

Judging from their appearance, they look exactly like the human race of the world she conquered.

But such a weak race could not possibly give birth to a powerful individual who could break away from the world and go into the universe.

Kaguya was very puzzled, but it seemed that this was indeed the person who had released her.

He's waiting here on purpose, so he must have something to say to her.

I just don't know if they're friend or foe...

Kaguya narrowed her eyes slightly, sized up the black-haired man for a while, and finally sent a mental wave at him.

Because sound cannot be transmitted between different races, and languages are incomprehensible to each other, communication between races in the universe is conducted through mental waves.

"It seems that it was you who helped me escape this predicament.

Iam a member of the Otsutsuki clan, and my name is Kaguya. Thank you very much for your help."

"May I ask which race you belong to?"

Upon receiving Kaguya's mental wave, the black-haired man's lips curled into a slight smile, and he replied with a mental wave in return:

"My name is Mochizuki Souji, and I come from the human race of the world behind me, which is the same human race of the world you have conquered."

"What?"

Kaguya was taken aback.

Humans from that world?

How could such a weak race possibly produce a powerful individual capable of entering the universe?

Ignoring the stunned Kaguya, Souji continued:

"Kaguya Otsutsuki, you manipulated the Ten-Tails God Tree, plundered a large amount of the world's energy, and harmed tens of thousands of humans to create taxi soldiers who obey your orders."

"As a human being in this world, I cannot forgive you."

"You should end it here!"

Souji threw a kunai at Kaguya.

A kunai that moves as fast as light.

Even Kaguya couldn't avoid such speed, and with the system's power suppressing her, she could barely move.

Kaguya watched helplessly as the light flashed by.

Finally, it pierced her chest.

"Aaaaaah!"

Kaguya's scream erupted wildly through her mental waves.

This was the mental wave that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki unleashed with all her might before her death.

Although it was invisible, its power was so great that it could easily destroy the spirit of a Kage-level powerhouse.

However, for Souji, who possesses the ultimate body and infinite chakra, such a crazy mental wave is nothing more than a breeze.

The kunai pierced Kaguya's chest, and its immense power carried her back through the passage to the center of the moon, the very place where Chibaku Tensei had imprisoned her for so many years.

The moment she was stabbed, Kaguya was already obliterated by the power of the system's Law of Imprisonment.

The immense force of the kunai pushed her back to the heart of the moon, and the dead Kaguya remained motionless.

"It's over. The root of chaos in the ninja world is over."

Souji calmly manipulated the moon rock to close the opened passage again.

Kaguya returned to the place where she was imprisoned, but this time there was absolutely no chance of escape.

In the original story, Kaguya's fate is to be sealed away again.

However, this is because Kaguya consumed the chakra fruit from the God Tree, which gave her most of the energy of a world.

Combined with the body of the Otsutsuki clan, she became immortal and indestructible. Even Naruto and Sasuke, in their final moments, did not have the power to completely destroy her.

However, Kaguya's immortality was ultimately not as powerful as the power of the system's causal laws.

Souji's kunai could kill Kaguya completely.

Given everything she did in the process, this was the most fitting ending.

After Kaguya's death, her chakra will slowly but continuously dissipate, becoming cosmic energy similar to the sun.

Because it originates from the ninja world, it will flow back to the ninja world first, and will be absorbed by the new divine tree controlled by Souji in the future, for use in the future development of the ninja world.

Having done all this, Souji calmly gazed at the vast universe around him.

The infinite universe is naturally not limited to the Otsutsuki as a high-level race; there are countless others of the same or even greater power.

Perhaps one day, other races will come to this world.

However, having absolute power, Souji naturally had nothing to fear.

even...

I want to see things in the universe.

Different worlds, different races, different wonders.

Everything mysterious and unknown was also very attractive to Souji.

Everything is arranged, and perhaps one day he will embark on a cosmic journey.

...

The root cause of the chaos in the ninja world, the death of Kaguya Otsutsuki, remains unknown.

The strange phenomena caused by summoning the Gedo Statue were only temporary.

Some people noticed them, but they ended in the blink of an eye with the destruction of the Gedo Statue.

In a short period of time, Madara Uchiha, the Ten-Tails God Tree, and Kaguya Otsutsuki—these deepest and greatest hidden dangers in the ninja world—were all silently eliminated by Souji.

At this point, Souji no longer needs any more personal legends.

These extraordinary evils are best left unknown to ordinary people; ending them quietly is the best course of action.

The Divine Tree clone completed its absorption of the Outer Path Demon Statue and, combined with the chakra of the nine tailed beasts within, successfully transformed into the true Divine Tree.

The divine tree controlled by the Otsutsuki clan operates at full power in order to plunder the world's energy as quickly as possible, which makes the divine tree appear fierce and violent.

However, Souji allowed the Divine Tree to grow normally, primarily absorbing cosmic energy.

As its name suggests, the Divine Tree appears to exude a sacred aura, and one can feel its abundant vitality simply by getting close to it.

Even the unclaimed land where they were located was originally an extremely desolate place, but as the divine tree took root and grew here, large areas of flowers and grasses grew around it in the blink of an eye, and the environment suddenly became beautiful.

This is the power of the divine tree.

The Divine Tree periodically produces a batch of Chakra Fruits. Of course, the amount of Chakra in each fruit is far less than that of the one Kaguya consumed, but it is not difficult to use them to stably cultivate Kage-level ninjas.

Although ninjas will no longer be constantly fighting, even if ninjutsu is used for other purposes, chakra is still the foundation for using ninjutsu, and it is indispensable.

Having a large number of powerful ninjas is the foundation for future development.

As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, all things come to life," and this is exactly the case.

With the deaths of the Ten-Tails and Kaguya, the world's energy that was stolen in the past will gradually recover and be used for the development of a new era in the ninja world.
