"Clan... Clan Head..." A young man with white eyes, wearing a white robe, ran in panicked. He looked at the middle-aged man with white hair sitting with his eyes closed in meditation before him and said, "Clan Head, something terrible has happened."
"It's Keito!" The middle-aged man opened his eyes, revealing his distinctive white eyes, a smile on his face as he said, "Don't be nervous. What happened?"
On the moon, it was just their Ōtsutsuki family. What else could possibly happen?
Back then, following the ancestor's command, they observed the development of the shinobi world from the moon, watching to see if it would eventually achieve an era of peace where everyone understood each other.
But the result...
The wars in the shinobi world still hadn't ended. They fought every now and then. So now, some members of the branch family were becoming restless, wanting to follow the ancestor's command and directly destroy the shinobi world...
Ōtsutsuki Hoshin sighed helplessly and said, "Is it the branch family causing trouble again?"
It really was a headache.
Although the shinobi world indeed hadn't achieved true peace yet...
He still didn't want to destroy everyone in the shinobi world, especially considering the ancestor's intention...
"No, Clan Head..." Ōtsutsuki Keito gasped for breath and said, "It's... it's..."
"What is it?" Hoshin frowned and said, "Don't be nervous. Speak slowly."
"It's the shinobi world..." Keito took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "Two, two people from the shinobi world have come up."
"..."
This...
Hearing Keito's words, Hoshin was stunned, then said in surprise, "You said people from the shinobi world came up to the moon??"
...
"Come, come, don't be afraid." Uzumaki Jun looked at the child before him, smiling as he said, "We mean no harm. We are distant cousins of the Ōtsutsuki clan. We won't hurt you."
He wasn't lying.
Everyone could be considered to share the same ancestor. Going back a thousand years...
They really were fellow villagers!
As he spoke, he took out the prepared snacks...
"Don't be polite, please don't be polite. These are all gifts I brought for you."
It was really troublesome.
How long had it been since these people had seen ordinary people? They were always giving others the white eye, plus they themselves had white eyes. Seeing other people, they all had wary expressions.
"Come, come." Uzumaki Jun grabbed a handful of candy and put it into the hand of one of the white-eyed children, showing a kind smile as he said, "It's very sweet. Remember to tear open the wrapper before eating!"
Better to start with the white-eyed children to dispel these people's wariness.
The child took the candy, glanced at the red-haired man before him, then looked at the beautifully packaged items, one by one. He had never seen anything like this before.
Hearing the red-haired man say it was food??
But...
Why were this person's eyes and hair different from ours?
Mom said not to take things from strangers. This red-haired man should be a stranger, right?
But...
Sweet??
What did that mean?
It seemed like it might be very delicious!
The child thought for a moment, was about to put it in his mouth, then remembered the red-haired man's words earlier: you have to tear the paper open to eat it. So he tore it open and looked at the white candy inside, wrinkling his nose. It was very fragrant!
This smell seemed familiar...
Then...
Tossed it into his mouth...
"Mmm~"
The child immediately narrowed his eyes, making a comfortable sound...
Before long, he felt someone pushing him beside him. He paused, came back to his senses, and looked at the white-eyed child next to him who was like him, saying, "Gakuto, what is it?"
"This, this..." Gakuto held up the candy and said, "Junto, you ate it just now. Is it delicious?"
"Delicious!" Junto nodded and said, "Delicious! Mhm... the taste is like something we've eaten before, but also not, seems even more delicious." Rubbed his head. "Can't remember."
"Really!" Gakuto looked at the few candies in his hand, thought for a moment, tore one open himself, and looked at the red candy inside. "Huh? Why is mine different from Junto's?"
"Let me see..." Junto leaned his little head over, looked, and said, "It really is. The packaging is different too." Leaned closer and sniffed. "The smell is different too!"
Then looked at the remaining candy in his hand...
"Does a different package mean a different taste??"
Peeled another one and put it in his mouth...
"This one is very delicious too!"
Not long after...
Looking at the five candies in his hand that were already finished, then glancing at the two in Gakuto's hand...
"What do you want to do?" Gakuto quickly put the candy in his pocket, wary, and said, "These are mine."
"But aren't we good friends?" Junto frowned and said, "Mine are all gone. You have two, give me one~"
"No, I've only eaten three." Gakuto shook his head, covering his pocket, and said, "You ate five. I won't give you any!"
Seeing Gakuto's serious expression, Junto hesitated, then turned to look at the red-haired man still handing out candy...
He ran over in small steps...
"Come, come, don't crowd." Uzumaki Jun saw the children finishing and crowding over, smiled and said, "Big brother brought a lot. Everyone will get some. There are other things to eat and drink too!"
"Line up. Those who don't line up won't get any."
"What? Don't know what lining up is?"
"It means come to me one after another. Those who come later line up behind the one in front. Don't push, don't push."
"Keep pushing and you won't get any."
Although the snack strategy was successful...
There were just too many children!
And Boss Madara...
Uzumaki Jun glanced at Boss Madara sitting in a wheelchair nearby, looking around everywhere, and sighed helplessly. Better not count on him.
"Obedient children, big brother here has other delicious food and drinks..." Uzumaki Jun took out a bag of potato chips and said, "I'll reward them."
Immediately...
Hearing Uzumaki Jun's words, the children were about to line up as he asked when...
"Gakuto, Junto, what are you doing?"
A stern voice came over.
A man wearing a white robe, with distinctive white eyes, walked over frowning, looking unhappy, and said, "Why are you all gathered here?"
"Akira-san..." The children quickly spoke up, happy, and said, "There's delicious food here."
Waving the candy in their hands...
"Delicious food?" Akira frowned, looked at the candy in the children's hands, and paused...
There was nothing like this on the moon!!
Then he looked at the red-haired young man and the white-haired old man appearing before him...
"From the shinobi world?"
How did people from the shinobi world suddenly come to the moon?
And how did they get up here?
Could it be...
The Hyūga clan told them??
He immediately said sternly, "Filthy humans, how did you come up from the shinobi world?"
No matter what...
He had to detain them first for questioning. And following the ancestor's decree...
Once the shinobi world was deemed hopeless, it was to be destroyed!
Since people from the shinobi world had appeared before him, as a member of the branch family, he absolutely had to detain them!!
"..."
Uzumaki Jun and Boss Madara, hearing the white-eyed young man's words, frowned immediately...
How was he talking??
Especially Boss Madara...
He saw in these white eyes his own former self, that lofty, god-like manner. But...
Madara scanned with his Sharingan, then frowned...
Who gave this weakling the courage?
A shinobi with about jonin-level strength actually dared to act up in front of him, Madara?
He had been observing the moon earlier, planning to check out the mother of the Black Zetsu Uzumaki Jun mentioned, but...
He couldn't sense anything inside the moon.
"Fellow villager, we mean no harm. It's just..." Just as Uzumaki Jun was about to say something, he sensed a few more figures arriving and sighed helplessly. "Looks like we'll have to use our fists to explain."
Because those few figures...
Were coming aggressively!!
