Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 496: Conquering Kaguya!

"Was your plan always kept secret from Hagoromo and Hamura?"

Kaguya nodded weakly, her pure white eyes once again welling up with tears:

"Yes. Those two children grew up with other human children; their emotional bonds were very deep. They wouldn't have agreed with my methods... But if I didn't try to fight the clan's hunting squad, this planet would eventually be destroyed!"

"Everyone, including me and them, would be killed..."

Kaguya looked gloomy.

As a mother, she truly tried to protect her children, unfortunately in the face of an overwhelmingly powerful clan.

She didn't have many options.

That was why she kept the Infinite Tsukuyomi a secret from Hagoromo and the others...

Lux didn't agree with Kaguya's actions but could understand her fear and behavior.

On one hand, there was the looming threat of death from the approaching clan.

On the other hand, there were the humans who had once betrayed her.

Kaguya chose to sacrifice humans to protect Hagoromo and the others; it was very natural.

If Minato or Orochimaru had truly betrayed him, Lux would also have unhesitatingly abandoned Konoha Village, even destroyed it!

Of course, this was almost impossible.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"Your plan is good. Unfortunately, it will most likely fail..." Lux suddenly dealt Kaguya a blow.

"Why?"

"Because the first to arrive on Earth will be three Ōtsutsuki. Even if you and the Ten-Tails can hold back two, the remaining one might be able to tip the balance."

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"What?"

Kaguya was shocked; she didn't know how many hunters would come.

All this time, she had thought the first investigation team would only consist of two people. If this was a mistake, all her plans would be in vain!

"Is that true? How do you know?"

"Because I can see the future..."

"The Sage Art: Jūhō?"

"Somewhat similar, but not Jūhō."

Lux didn't reveal information about Momoshiki and the others. Because in an actual fight, even if the three of them combined, they wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat Kaguya...

But this didn't stop him from using the numerical advantage to intimidate the innocent Kaguya.

To conquer Kaguya, a little intimidation was indeed necessary.

Some previous parallel worlds didn't need to worry too much about the Ōtsutsuki threat.

But Parallel World 6 and Parallel World 7 were very far in the future; they would definitely directly face the Ōtsutsuki clan's threat. Even after unification, they would have to consider how to maintain stable peace for 20 years under the Ōtsutsuki's attacks.

What Lux had to and could do was, before that, increase his strength as much as possible and integrate all the forces that could be combined!

And Kaguya, as one of the pinnacles of the ninja world's power, certainly couldn't be missed.

By conquering one Kaguya, facing the Ōtsutsuki threat in other worlds would be much easier.

This was the main reason Lux went to the trouble of 'coercing and enticing' this Ōtsutsuki princess today.

"I..."

Kaguya was dumbfounded, her brain seemingly crashing.

She wasn't good at handling surprises, let alone thinking of better strategies.

If three Ōtsutsuki really came together, she would have absolutely no chance of winning!

That was even setting aside Isshiki. If Isshiki was still alive, hiding, and suddenly attacked while she was fighting Momoshiki!

Kaguya could be said to be definitely defeated.

Seeing Kaguya's confusion and fear, Lux knew the desired effect had been achieved. Then he continued to probe:

"Make a deal?"

"Hmm?"

"As long as you fully obey my orders, I will help you resolve all the Ōtsutsuki clan's hunters, how about it?"

Lux proposed with a smile.

Hearing this, Kaguya opened her small mouth, her face full of shock.

What did she hear? This person would help her fight the entire Ōtsutsuki clan?

'Is he crazy? Doesn't he know how terrifying that clan is? This is suicide!'

"You..."

"Don't worry about me. Daring to go against the Ōtsutsuki clan means I have confidence. You just need to answer whether you agree or not?"

Lux was very confident.

What Ōtsutsuki hunters?

After unifying several worlds, the combined power of several worlds would definitely give a big surprise!

And that legendary Ōtsutsuki God?

After the main mission was completed, he would directly become a True Immortal. What was there to fear?

If they dared to come, he would just slap them to death!

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Kaguya stared at Lux blankly, trying to find clues. Unfortunately, with her intelligence, she couldn't glean any useful information, but her opponent wasn't necessarily lying either.

The golden weapon that imprisoned Isshiki, the mysterious beam that instantly controlled Isshiki, and Lux himself, who was immeasurable...

All of this was beyond Kaguya's imagination!

Maybe he really could deal with the clan's hunters?

And the price?

Just obeying him?

For Kaguya, this wasn't a problem.

She wasn't the ambitious type.

Back then, after being stripped of her status as a branch family princess and forced to accompany Isshiki to plant the God Tree, she had simply obeyed...

In the hierarchical and power-oriented Ōtsutsuki clan, submitting to superiors was common.

If it hadn't been for Isshiki wanting to sacrifice her to the God Tree, Kaguya might not have resisted.

So for her, as long as it could resolve the clan's hunt, changing superiors was also acceptable.

"I... I agree!"

Kaguya gritted her teeth and agreed.

She was just innocent, not hopelessly stupid.

Under these circumstances, what choice did she have besides agreeing?

An opponent who could even control Isshiki in an instant, let alone her?

And with her current condition, even with the bone armor, it was impossible to touch an opponent who could teleport, right?

It was better to accept obediently!

Besides, her opponent had already guided her and even gifted her Isshiki. Kaguya was never cruel to those who were kind to her, like her small human servants in the past...

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

"A wise choice, you will be grateful later!"

Seeing Kaguya agree, Lux was also satisfied. After all his efforts, he had finally managed to conquer Kaguya.

Now he could be said to have 'ridden' the Rabbit Goddess, and even Hagoromo would have to call him senior later.

It did feel good!

Kaguya calmed down. Suddenly becoming someone else's subordinate felt a bit strange, but she cared more about one thing.

"What do I need to do?"

"Just stay here and wait. Without my permission, don't go out. I will often send chakra supplements for your recovery."

"Okay."

Kaguya nodded obediently, not objecting.

"It won't be long; I'll need you soon."

"For what?"

"To gang up on other Ōtsutsuki, of course. Oh! Maybe even have to fight yourself?"

(O_O)?

Kaguya was confused, not understanding the last part.

What did he mean by fighting herself?

Was there another her in the world?

"You'll know when you meet. Before that, let him keep you company."

Lux threw the sleeping small Ten-Tails to Kaguya so she wouldn't be lonely and to comfort her loneliness after thousands of years of being sealed.

And with Kaguya, who understood the growth of the God Tree, taking care of this small Ten-Tails, it was perfect.

Kaguya panicked and caught the small Ten-Tails.

Such an important God Tree baby was given to her? Wasn't he afraid she would keep it?

She was now his subordinate; it seemed there was no need to keep it anymore.

When Kaguya looked again, Lux had already left this dimensional space.

She wasn't sad; instead, she gently hugged the small Ten-Tails, stroking it softly.

Her lips also showed a hint of long-unseen relaxation.

Although a series of surprises had overwhelmed her, at least she was free from the seal, had killed her enemy Isshiki, and had gained an ally against the clan's hunters.

This was already much better than being trapped in a dark seal.
