Sixteen Years Old, The Fourth Generation of Mizukage

"Cough... cough... Toneri, how are you feeling? Do you feel any signs that the reincarnation eye is moving?"

In the gorgeous secret palace, Otsutsuki Shinya was standing next to a luxurious big bed. He kept coughing and covered his eyes with bandages. His son Otsutsuki had been resting in bed for three days. Mu Sheren asked nervously.

"I can feel it...but it's too far away..."

Otsutsuki Toneri panted weakly. The young man raised his slender right hand with difficulty, held the somewhat cold fingers of his father Otsutsuki Shinya, and said intermittently:

"Father, the purity of the Byakugan brought back is enough, but my body and chakra are not enough to hatch the reincarnated eye quickly. I am very sorry that I have failed to live up to your expectations and adventure..."

"This is not a matter of sacrificing others, but a dereliction of duty on my part as a father and the head of the family."

Otsutsuki Shinya held Otsutsuki Toneri's hand in his hand, and whispered with complicated emotions and full of self-blame.

"There is no such thing..."

Just when Otsutsuki Toneri wanted to comfort his depressed father, he heard another emotionless voice coming from the room:

"Sir Shinya, the puppet army we left on Earth caught an outsider trying to sneak in."

Otsutsuki Shinya came back to his senses, turned to look at his subordinate who was wearing a veil to hide his true identity as a puppet, and asked in a cold voice:

"Accidental intrusion? Or...prepared?"

"The outsider is proficient in a special transformation technique and tries to blend into the barrier by transforming into us. However, the object it transforms into is still a living creature after all, so it was discovered by us at the first time and succeeded. Capture and seal it.”

The fighting puppet reported the information in a calm tone that made Otsutsuki Shinya subconsciously clenched his fists. At the same time, the atmosphere in the room, which was not very good, suddenly dropped to freezing point.

"I understand...just step back. I will go over to interrogate the intruder in a moment."

"yes."

The combat puppet disappeared into Otsutsuki Toneri's room as silently as it came. And Otsutsuki Shinya took several deep breaths in succession before calming down his emotions again, facing Otsutsuki who was lying in bed. The Mushe man smiled and said:

"No need to worry, Toneri, they are just some inconspicuous little bugs. I will take care of them. You just need to have a good rest and recover."

"...I understand, Father."

Shinya Otsutsuki couldn't help but notice the wavering of Otsutsuki Toneri's answer.

But at this moment, Otsutsuki Toneri was not the only one who felt shaken.

After letting out a long sigh, Shinya Ōtsutsuki walked out of Ōtsutsuki Toneri's room, with a heavy heart, and headed towards the dungeon where the Moon Ōtsutsuki clan used to hold prisoners.

A moment later, Otsutsuki Makoto was also in the dungeon and saw the White Zetsu clone that had been subdued by combat puppets and sealed with dense seals.

"Sir Shinya, this is the outsider trying to sneak into the barrier."

The puppet responsible for escorting the White Zetsu clone to the dungeon stood next to Otsutsuki Shinya and coldly introduced to him the information collected through the previous battle:

"Its combat power is not strong, but it possesses a special transformation technique that is difficult to detect. It can also emit spores that are indistinguishable to the naked eye and attach to objects with chakra, absorbing the target's chakra and growing... "

Shinya Otsutsuki, on the other hand, was listening to the battle puppet's report while looking at Bai Zetsu's iconic appearance, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Bai Jue... It turns out that the guy who stole the Heretic Golem targeted us first?"

As descendants of Otsutsuki Hamura, the Moon Otsutsukis who have been tasked with guarding the sealed Otsutsuki Kaguya since birth will naturally not be unfamiliar with "soldiers" like Bai Zetsu who were created by the sacred tree. But at this moment, Otsutsuki Shinya did not feel even the slightest bit of joy because he had found the clues to the heretic demon. What was settled in his heart was only the ever-expanding depression and regret.

It was true that Otsutsuki didn't think about the possibility that his actions would be discovered, but he didn't expect that his actions would attract the attention of the most dangerous enemy so quickly, and that the enemy would follow the clues to find the Otsutsuki clan so quickly. The true residence has not been exposed for thousands of years.

Is it the continuous wars in the ninja world that have made people on the ground sensitive, or is it the long peace and waiting after the defeat of the clan that has made him, the heir of the branch clan, dull?

Maybe a bit of both.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Now that he has been exposed, the only option is to collect as much intelligence about the enemy as possible, and then prepare for war with all his strength.

Ahem, but in this case, we have to hope that the enemy will lose patience as soon as possible and come to the door... It is true that things are unpredictable.

Shinya Otsutsuki let out a long sigh, slowly raised his right hand, letting the emerald green chakra gather into a round sphere in his hand, then stepped forward and struck the emerald green Puppet Heart Jade into the white... In Jue's chest.

The White Zetsu clone, which had already become weak under the attack and seal of the battle puppet, had its eyes blank. The originally ferocious expression on its face suddenly became dull, and Shinya Otsutsuki also lifted his hand in time. He pulled it out from the other person's chest and asked while coughing:

"Tell me your reason for coming, your master, and everything you know about the ninja world. The product of the sacred tree."

"yes……"

The White Zetsu clone had empty eyes, and in a tone that was more like a puppet than the puppet next to Otsutsuki Shinya, he began to tell Otsutsuki Shinya the information he knew about the ninja world.

Although it was only a temporary entity created for the purpose of sneak reconnaissance, the White Zetsu clone still knew some information that was not a secret to the Uchiha Obito forces, but was very important to Shinya Otsutsuki in the sky——

For example, the time and space pupil technique that Uchiha Obito is good at, the location of the Heretic Golem, the existence of the Samsara Eye and its current owner, and the fact that Uchiha Obito regards him as a lifelong enemy, and now suppresses it with absolute strength. Various information about Rei Kaguya on the situation in the ninja world.

"Uchiha Madara who stole the heretic demon... Uchiha Obito, the successor who can open a different space... Nagato, the holder of the Samsara Eye... and Kaguya Rei, who can use the power of nearly killing Ash Bones …”

"Evil people on earth... How close do you have to come to resurrecting Kaguya Otsutsuki in the endless strife before you are willing to stop?"

Repeating the names of the most dangerous people in his mouth, Otsutsuki Shinya took the lives of the White Zetsu clones that had lost their value with a heavy expression, then turned around and rushed towards the Hamura Shrine that was floating randomly in the secret realm.
