"Haha! You're really just joking, kid. Everyone can see my strength—it's nowhere near yours!" someone said with a laugh.
Ye Liang simply smiled.
No comment.
Hashirama was hiding his true power again—that old fox had probably noticed Puko hiding far away long ago but pretended to be chased by Momoshiki to keep his strength hidden.
As for the Second, Tobirama, who also pretended to be weak—haha! Another old fox.
"It's just a shame about Sarutobi. I never thought he'd be taken down by such a weak opponent," Hashirama suddenly sighed. Ye Liang helplessly shook his head.
He reached into the air as if grabbing hold of an invisible figure, then formed hand seals. The ghostly image merged with the earth below, invoking [Impure World Reincarnation].
Hiruzen Sarutobi was reborn!
Impure World Reincarnation—indescribably useful.
Hiruzen Sarutobi shrugged helplessly, "Damn it! Even I've been brought back through the Impure World Reincarnation!"
After settling everything, Ye Liang motioned for everyone to relocate quickly, while he made his way alone to where Otsutsuki Momoshiki had last stood.
He had sensed Otsutsuki Momoshiki all along—but he had his own goal.
Earlier, his words to Momoshiki were meant for Puko's ears alone.
Ye Liang wasn't exactly sure about the Otsutsuki Clan's intentions, but if he revealed some information capable of making the Otsutsuki Clan fearful, he might be able to delay their attack!
He placed his hand against the cracks in the spatial dimensions.
Puko had indeed left, and not just relocating somewhere else—he had shifted directly to another spatial dimension!
"Hopefully he'll carry my message back."
Half an hour later.
In the universe,
There was a purely white planet—much smaller than Earth—but it constantly had a mysterious, intangible energy floating around it.
Atop a towering structure that pierced the clouds, the sky suddenly split open, and Puko—who had fled Earth—stood there.
The moment he landed, he rushed frantically into the building shouting, "Lady Amaterasu! Something's wrong! Ao'lan is in danger!"
His voice instantly drew everyone's attention.
Inside the building, a tall woman wearing a crown coldly waved her hand, instantly freezing Puko's entire body. "How could a member of the noble Otsutsuki Clan behave so recklessly!"
Instantly, Puko regained his composure.
He took a few deep breaths, calming himself down, and only then did the pressure vanish.
Puko stepped forward and bowed quietly before the tall woman.
"Lady Amaterasu! This time on Ao'lan, we encountered someone from the Fourth Civilization!"
"The Fourth Civilization?" Her voice clearly rose. She stepped back calmly and sat upon a golden seat. "Oh? Is that so?
Tell me all about it."
A moment later,
The tall woman clenched her fist angrily.
"You're telling me Kaguya is missing—gone without a trace—and even Momoshiki and others of the Otsutsuki Clan were slain by this person from the Fourth Civilization!"
"Yes, my lady. This individual from the Fourth Civilization knew our techniques inside and out. They could even use our own energy—it was like facing a godlike being!"
Puko remained kneeling silently, awaiting her response.
What a useless fellow!
The woman spat in disgust. "Even though you're a member of the Main Family, how come you can't even detect such an obvious trace? This person claiming to be from the Fourth Civilization is clearly an impostor!
If he were truly from the legendary Fourth Civilization, why would we even have to go through so much trouble to eliminate him? With a mere wave of his hand, he should be able to reduce us to nothing!
And using our techniques too!
This clearly must be something taught by that traitor Kaguya!
And also Isshiki Otsutsuki! Hundreds of years ago, Tenji already confirmed that he had betrayed us! Dammit, you can't even see something so obvious!"
Otsutsuki Momoshiki listened to the woman's scolding with trepidation. His head was bowed so low it seemed weighed down, and he had no intention of lifting it at all.
Hmph! If you weren't a member of the Main Family, I would've absorbed you already! The woman paced back and forth on the ground, as if silently considering something. "You must go find Tenji right away!
Have them take the family treasures and go to Ao'lan. Kill this so-called Fourth Civilization individual and bring Kaguya back alive. She dares to betray the Otsutsuki, I'll personally put her on trial!
Yes!
Momoshiki responded solemnly, then left this magnificent building.
As he walked out the door, he spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm. "Hmph! Personally put her on trial indeed! If Kaguya wasn't your younger sister, they would've executed her on the spot already!
"It's just that guy Tenji!" Momoshiki started thinking. "Last time I saw him, he seemed to be chasing remnants of the Yamata clan, probably still drifting somewhere in space.
Ao'lan, consider yourself lucky to live a bit longer!
After saying this indifferently, Momoshiki dove straight into a round meteorite by the roadside.
The stone slowly lifted into the air and flew towards space.
Meanwhile.
Kaguya Hime, living on Earth, sneezed violently, silently looking at the dark color with an indifferent expression.
Sis, how are you doing now?
The next day.
After dealing with the Otsutsuki, Ye Liang slept in relaxedly.
When he woke up, it was already noon.
What a beautiful morning!
Ye Liang called out cheerfully, accepting a towel from Hinata. After washing up in bed, he quietly walked to the kitchen.
Kaguya had already prepared breakfast.
He enjoyed the delicious meal with great appetite.
This peaceful rhythm of daily life was Ye Liang's most enjoyable and relaxing moment.
But today, Ye Liang seemed somewhat different.
After finishing breakfast, he looked a bit melancholy, sighing with some absent-mindedness.
He was all set now — but what about people like Anko?
Ye Liang couldn't forget Anko, nor could he forget Kushina. Originally, he had come to this world just to escape trouble; he never expected so much to happen afterward.
Gradually, he had become inseparable from this place.
Now the threat of the Otsutsuki was temporarily gone, finally giving Ye Liang some respite.
Now that he was relaxed, he started feeling sentimental. "Maybe it's time to go back."
Kaguya at the table was taken aback: "Go back? Back where?"
She didn't know Ye Liang had other women, and Ye Liang had no intention of telling her. After all, just Hinata alone had already put him through the wringer.
If she found out!
Ha ha ha...
He even had women in another realm! More than one, too—that was outrageous!
"It's nothing—haha!"
Ye Liang gave an embarrassed grin.
He'd already made up his mind.
Space-time traversal was immune to time constraints. Even if he spent a hundred years there, only a few seconds would have passed here. Therefore, he wasn't worried about time lag.
Kaguya was taken aback. She couldn't shake the feeling that Ye Liang was keeping something from her. Although she couldn't figure out why, a woman's intuition was usually pretty accurate.
After breakfast, Ye Liang went to visit the other villagers. He called it a path-finding patrol, but it was really his way of saying goodbye to everyone.
