"Leave her to me."
Mirai Uchiha ascended slowly into midair, reaching the same level as Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned and scolded again, "How dare you! What right do you have to face me directly!"
Slap!
A sharp slap echoed through the air. Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes widened in disbelief.
Did she just get slapped?!
A mere human had dared to defy her like this.
"You're asking for death!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki hissed coldly, wanting to kill Mirai Uchiha, but then realized her body felt as if weighed down by a thousand pounds, completely immovable.
It was as if trapped in an intense gravitational pull.
Mirai Uchiha spoke calmly, "Kaguya, I've killed Black Zetsu."
"That's impossible!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki snapped.
Black Zetsu had been her own creation; only Kekkei Mora could harm him.
Even Hagoromo, who had stolen her power and taken control of the Ten-Tails, hadn't been able to kill Black Zetsu.
Seeing Kaguya's disbelief, Mirai revealed some of his power.
The surge of overwhelming chakra left Kaguya Otsutsuki gaping.
Why did this man seem even stronger than her at her peak?
Seeing Kaguya's shock, Mirai said calmly, "Can I speak now, without interruption?"
Unable to hide her curiosity, Kaguya asked, "Who are you?"
"Mirai Uchiha. The current ruler of the shinobi world."
Kaguya continued, "How could you possibly possess such great power?"
Even a native of the ninja world shouldn't be able to surpass her prime strength, even if they had sealed the Ten-Tails inside themselves.
"Kaguya," Mirai said, "Your time has passed. It's time to turn your eyes toward the future now."
"I will help you defeat the Otsutsuki Clan hunters chasing you."
Hearing that, Kaguya's shock deepened. "You even know about those things?"
After all, she hadn't told even Hamura or Hagoromo anything about the Otsutsuki Clan!
Without realizing it, Kaguya had abandoned her condescending attitude and started treating Mirai Uchiha seriously.
"Come back with me first."
Seeing Kaguya calm down, Mirai Uchiha clapped his hands together.
[Planetary Annihilation!]
Under Mirai Uchiha's power, the moon, previously split in two by Toneri Otsutsuki, recombined once more.
Seeing this, Kaguya Otsutsuki fell into stunned silence.
Based on the power Mirai had just displayed, even at her peak, she wouldn't have been his match.
Even more so now than ever.
How could someone this powerful exist in the ninja world?
A spatial portal opened, and Mirai Uchiha, Hinata Hyūga, and others stepped into the Hokage's Office.
Everyone had originally been waiting for news from Mirai. When they saw Hinata and Hanabi, all of them sighed in relief.
It seemed that even the Otsutsuki Clan was no match for Mirai.
However, when Tsunade and the others turned their gazes toward Kaguya Otsutsuki, puzzled looks appeared on their faces.
Who was this cold-hearted woman?
Could she be Toneri Otsutsuki?
No, that couldn't be right—the one who was supposed to marry Hinata was Toneri Otsutsuki, and he should be male.
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Hanabi quickly spoke up: "This is Kaguya Otsutsuki."
"Kaguya Otsutsuki?!"
Everyone was shocked by Hanabi's words.
Wasn't Kaguya Otsutsuki sealed on the Moon? How could she appear here?
Tsunade couldn't help but ask, "Mirai, wasn't Hanabi captured by Toneri Otsutsuki? What exactly is going on?"
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Mirai briefly recounted what had happened on the Moon.
After hearing Mirai's explanation, everyone curiously turned their gaze toward Kaguya Otsutsuki.
A deity who only existed in legends had actually appeared before them in the flesh.
That feeling was simply extraordinary.
Mirai sat down on her seat and ordered Kaguya Otsutsuki, "Kaguya, you first introduce the general situation about the Otsutsuki Clan."
Although Kaguya found Mirai's tone quite irritating, she was in no position to refuse under current circumstances. Thus, she obediently started explaining everything to those present.
"The Otsutsuki Clan lives in a distant galaxy far away from here. They make a living by plundering energy from different planets."
"The clan is divided into two classes—those of high rank and the guardians—with the higher ranks holding absolute authority."
"They live separately on two planets near Proxima Centauri."
"Though the population of the Otsutsuki Clan isn't large—fewer than ten thousand—each member possesses formidable power."
"Moreover, the clan also possesses many potent divine treasures capable of assisting in battle…"
Kaguya Otsutsuki proceeded to give a thorough account of various aspects of the Otsutsuki Clan.
Even Mirai, who had traveled across time and space, learned valuable new information.
"Kaguya, I heard the Otsutsuki Clan also has a god?"
Kaguya Otsutsuki opened her mouth in surprise. "You even know that?"
Mirai replied indifferently, "Answer my question."
How infuriating!
Kaguya Otsutsuki clenched her fist.
Since arriving in the Ninja World, when was the last time she endured such humiliation?
Yet recalling that resounding slap on the Moon, Kaguya Otsutsuki began recounting through gritted teeth.
"There truly exists a god in legend among the Otsutsuki Clan, known as Chiya Otsutsuki."
"He's said to have been the glorious pioneer of our clan, possessing power capable of shattering the heavens and splitting the earth."
"No one has ever seen Chiya Otsutsuki, but once every hundred years, our clan must offer half of our Chakra Fruits."
"This being is a true god transcending all existence."
Truthfully, Kaguya Otsutsuki knew very little about Chiya Otsutsuki herself.
As a guardian, she had only heard fragments of related legends from elders in passing.
Although Kaguya spoke only legendary tales, Mirai Uchiha knew for certain that Chiya Otsutsuki indeed existed.
Moreover, surprisingly, Chiya continued growing stronger without end by collecting Chakra Fruits...
Thinking thus, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help feeling somewhat fortunate.
Thankfully he had a system that could infinitely increase his stats, otherwise he'd have absolutely no chance against Chiya Otsutsuki.
Seeing Mirai Uchiha fall into deep thought, everyone else's heart tightened with anxiety too.
Someone acknowledged as divine by even gods themselves wielded power utterly beyond their comprehension.
Though Mirai was powerful, against an enemy like this… could he truly defeat him?
