After reaching an agreement, Kaguya, in order to maintain her image as the head wife, decided not to act too overbearing. Similarly, Tsunade didn't want to make things too difficult for Shishou. As a result, the atmosphere between Kaguya and Tsunade, as well as the others, surprisingly eased.
Although Shishou wasn't sure what was going on in their minds, at least on the surface, things appeared harmonious.
After spending some time together, Kaguya took Shishou to inspect the creatures in her Genesis Space. Feeling the chakra within the creatures, Kaguya was delighted. After spending a few more days with Shishou, she eventually returned to the ninja world on her own. She understood that she couldn't monopolize Shishou entirely, so after securing her position as the main wife, she wisely decided to leave.
Once Kaguya was gone, Shishou found himself at the mercy of Tsunade, Mikoto, Kushina, and the others, who took turns exhausting him. Fortunately, Shishou had become a wielder of the Bloodline Limit, otherwise, he might not have been able to keep up with them.
Another month passed, and Shishou returned to the ninja world, secretly feeding the remaining chakra fruit to Ino, Hinata, and Inuzuka Hana, further enhancing their powers.
While Shishou was spending time in Konoha, mingling with Ino and the others, something was happening within the Land of Fire.
A black, square-shaped portal of the Yomi Hirasaka technique opened in a forest. From it emerged a man carrying a red fishing rod—Otsutsuki Urashiki.
"Tsk!"
Surveying the surroundings, Otsutsuki Urashiki chuckled lightly, "So, this is the planet Kaguya deliberately hid?"
Initially, it would have taken him several decades to find this place, but thanks to the radiant flash from the Divine Fruit on this planet, he had been able to locate it much earlier.
"I must say, the energy on this planet is unlike anything I've ever seen. No wonder Kaguya destroyed all records of it."
Closing his eyes, Otsutsuki Urashiki savored the moment. The immense energy contained within the planet had already sparked his desire to claim it for himself. If he could seize control of this planet, cultivate the Divine Tree, and strengthen his power, he might even rise to a higher status within the Otsutsuki clan and become an elder.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Otsutsuki Urashiki's eyes snapped open as he looked in the direction of Konoha. There, he faintly sensed a few auras that closely resembled the Otsutsuki clan's power. This intrigued him.
"It seems this planet isn't as simple as it appears."
Otsutsuki Urashiki laughed softly as he headed out of the forest. Though he looked down on Kaguya, he decided to first lay low and carefully observe the situation on this planet.
Given the current circumstances, Urashiki suspected that Kaguya might not be the one who consumed the Divine Fruit—perhaps it was someone else. Besides, that arrogant, single-minded fool Momoshiki would likely be drawn here by the same radiant flash, and it wouldn't be long before he arrived.
When that time came, Momoshiki would no doubt stir up trouble, giving Urashiki the perfect opportunity to reap the rewards.
…
A few days later, in the Land of Fire.
Two figures descended from the sky, landing atop a towering mountain.
"Ah, this planet is truly magnificent..."
Otsutsuki Momoshiki spread his arms wide, his proud face filled with delight. He had anticipated that the energy contained within Kaguya's planet would be substantial, but he hadn't expected it to be so abundant and pure.
Such a planet could potentially yield four or five, or even more, Divine Fruits, making it clear why that wretched Kaguya dared to try and claim it for herself.
"Lord Momoshiki, what shall we do now?" Otsutsuki Kinshiki asked.
A flash of greed crossed Otsutsuki Momoshiki's eyes as he grinned maliciously:
"What shall we do?"
"Naturally, we're going to storm in, capture Kaguya, and take this planet for ourselves!"
To Momoshiki, even though Otsutsuki Kaguya had become a Bloodline Limit wielder, she was still nothing more than a sacrificial pawn raised for the Divine Tree. Even if she had consumed the Divine Fruit and attained the Bloodline Limit, she wouldn't be able to fully wield its power. As such, Momoshiki didn't take her seriously at all.
Kinshiki asked, "Lord Momoshiki, should we go after Kaguya directly now?"
Momoshiki shook his head:
"No, I sense two decent chakra sources nearby. We'll absorb those first, then go after Kaguya."
Although he despised Kaguya, Momoshiki wasn't foolish. He planned to replenish his chakra before making his move.
Momoshiki then seated himself on Kinshiki's shoulders, pointing in the direction of Konoha.
"Let's go!"
At his command, Kinshiki flew straight towards Konoha.
…
In Konoha.
In the Forest of Death, Shishou stood in a canyon, watching as Hinata and Hanabi sparred with each other. Although both had mastered the Tenseigan and could create Truth-Seeking Balls, they hadn't abandoned their training in Gentle Fist. Instead, they aimed to integrate the Tenseigan's power into their Gentle Fist techniques.
Both were currently in Tenseigan Chakra Mode, exchanging blows that sent shockwaves through the surrounding environment. Fortunately, Shishou had already set up barriers around them, preventing significant damage to the Forest of Death.
Nearby, Ringo Ameyuri, who had been pestering Shishou for days, watched Hinata and Hanabi spar with a mixture of shock and admiration. She hadn't expected them to be so strong.
She glanced at Shishou, remembering how he had approached her a few days earlier, offering her a strange fruit and asking her to keep it secret. Since then, she had felt a powerful force awaken within her, even helping her body recover gradually.
She couldn't understand why he had given it to her, especially since she hadn't even asked for it…
Feeling a bit down, Ringo Ameyuri crossed her arms. She glanced at Hinata and Hanabi, then looked down at herself, dropping her arms to her sides with a sigh…
Now she felt even worse.
Just as Ringo Ameyuri was searching for a topic to chat about with Shishou, he suddenly called a halt to Hinata and Hanabi's sparring and looked up at the sky in the distance.
Hinata, Hanabi, and Ringo Ameyuri followed his gaze.
In the sky not far away, a towering man was carrying a richly dressed, arrogant-looking young man as they flew toward them.
Shishou narrowed his eyes as he recognized the approaching figures.
It was none other than Otsutsuki Momoshiki and his subordinate, Otsutsuki Kinshiki!
