Chapter 265 Stepping onto the cage called the moon
(has been modified)
For the fourth-generation Raikage Ai and the third-generation Tsuchikage Onoki, this experience of using the Phantom Body Technique to participate in the "combat meeting" organized by the Akatsuki organization can be said to have nothing to do with happiness.
During the meeting, the Fourth Mizukage Kaguya Rei showed an attitude that he did not regard Iwagakure, Kumogakure, or even Sunagakure and Konoha as competitors of the same level. This can be regarded as making them feel unhappy. One of the biggest reasons.
Another part of the reason for their dissatisfaction is that when faced with such a condescending attitude from the other party, they do not yet have the confidence and capital to give a strong enough counterattack and rebuttal.
Being refuted mercilessly, but still gritting one's teeth and accepting that one has to be grateful to the other party, for big men like them who have become accustomed to their status, power and superiority as the shadow of a village. , which can be said to be quite unaccustomed.
"But no matter how unaccustomed they are, they still have to hold their noses and accept my request... This is the confidence and confidence that the unique Otsutsuki bloodline has given me."
In Orochimaru's research institute, listening to Kaguya Rei's evaluation of this matter, Orochimaru, who was undergoing final debugging for the material that was closest to success, couldn't help but laugh:
"According to the history I know, apart from you, Rei-kun, only the two Otsutsuki descendants, Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, are qualified to say such outrageous words in front of the Five Kage?"
"But except for our three Ōtsutsuki descendants, there has never been a ninja in the ninja world who can defeat the entire ninja world with one person... Compared to the majority of the same mediocre people, these Ōtsutsuki descendants It is absolutely impossible for others to touch it, and the upper limit that can influence the future of the world is itself a huge danger."
While saying this, Kaguya Rei glanced meaningfully at Kabuto Yakushi, who was busy working in the research institute. Kabuto Yakushi, who was used to the peaceful life of a teacher + researcher, did not notice Kaguya Rei's gaze. Orochimaru, who noticed this, said indifferently:
"Don't tell me those boring topics. I am just a windmill turning with the wind of change that changes the times. No matter where the wind of change blows, I will only turn in the direction of the wind and get what I want from it. What I got, as for why the wind blows like this, I’m not very interested, Lianjun.”
"If you only think about what you want to do but don't think about why you want to do it, you can easily end up in a dead end and become a zombie that can't even realize whether you are moving forward." Kaguya Rei folded her arms in front of her chest and calmly said persuaded.
"Aren't there Jiraiya, Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi who, under your influence, started to think about why they did this?"
Orochimaru grinned, and while pressing the button that injected Rei Kaguya's chakra into the petri dish in front of him, he said teasingly:
"If I even finish such a thing, will the last value of existence be taken away from poor Jiraiya? Although it is good to see his expression of despair because he has become a useless person. , but if Tsunade is on the right track, it would be too ridiculous for him to be the only one among the three ninjas to become useless."
As he spoke, the Byakugan, which was cultivated using the cells of the member of the Hyuga clan with the highest purity of Byakugan as a material, combined with Kaguya Rei's own chakra and Senju Hashirama's cells, began to work toward the final product. The process of directional growth.
"Yes, refinement and division of labor are also one of the important signs of civilization and progress. After all, human energy and time are limited. After the knowledge field is deepened to a certain extent, crossing fields will inevitably distract attention..."
Kaguya Rei looked at the Hashirama cells that were rapidly growing into human form and the Byakugan that were growing on the lifeless body, and nodded in approval.
"Well...it seems like you really don't need my help anymore."
Hearing this rich and reassuring voice, Kaguya Rei and Orochimaru turned their heads at the same time and looked at Senju Hashirama, who was walking into the laboratory while stroking the back of his head with a bit of joy.
"First-sama...Are Jiraiya and Tsunade worrying pointlessly again?" Orochimaru, who knew the personalities of those two old friends very well, was the first to ask.
"Well, you can't say it's a pointless worry, right?"
Senju Hashirama laughed heartily and a little helplessly, "After all, a disaster like the moon falling that endangers the entire ninja world must be solved by gathering all available forces. It just so happens that I This old man is more or less a trustworthy existence in their eyes, and it is normal for him to want to use my power to solve this crisis."
"What are your plans?"
Kaguya Rei did not directly reject the idea of letting Senju Hashirama use his reincarnated body to help, but asked him seriously and sincerely:
"If you, the First Hokage, are willing to help, I can work with Orochimaru to temporarily help you create a body that can exert more than 95% of your peak strength for a new reincarnation... Although I don’t think I will be weaker than you at your peak, but if I can get such an extra help, there is no reason to refuse.”
"Then, do you want me to go with you, the Fourth Mizukage?"
Senju Hashirama put away his smile and asked seriously.
"...Is this your answer?" Kaguya narrowed her eyes.
"If this is a battle that no one knows how to solve, and no one knows who the enemy is about to face, even without Tsunade's request, I will take the initiative to ask you to provide me with a person who can play more. A body of strength, fighting with you to protect the ninja world."
"However, you are not ignorant of the enemy. In fact, you have already made all preparations before going out into battle."
Senju Hashirama grinned and said cheerfully:
"Since the newcomers to the ninja world are so impressive, why should an old guy like me, who is already dead, have to compete with you for dominance on the stage? The world of the living should be left to the living. We will protect and guide them, and the undead only need to silently watch the progress of the living in the underworld and pray for them seriously."
"The difference between you and Madara Uchiha really makes people wonder why you can become friends, the first Hokage."
Kaguya Rei put her hand towards her eyes, shook her head and complained.
"The so-called fate and bond are such wonderful things."
Senju Hashirama spread out his hands optimistically and said with a tone of experience:
"People with similar personalities may not necessarily become friends, and people with opposite goals may not necessarily become sworn enemies. Just like you and Madara I know, if you two are in the same era, even if you both Your goal is to dominate the ninja world and achieve world peace by yourself, so the relationship between the two of you will probably be so bad that even the power of fire and water can't be described, right?"
"That's true."
In the petri dish, the pair of white eyes soaked in Kaguya Rei's chakra were finally fully formed. Even if they had not been taken out, he could still feel the purity of those eyes that almost perfectly matched his own, and Kaguya Rei At the same time that my white eyes were forming, I did not hesitate to take off the pair of eyes that I had replaced just for the sake of excessiveness. While my eyes were bleeding, I said calmly:
"This land in the ninja world is really too small. At most, it can only accommodate one voice giving orders. If Uchiha Madara and I were in the same era, we would have been irresolvable enemies from beginning to end. The ninja world will also turn into dilapidated ruins little by little during the war between the two of us, until one of us falls completely."
"But fortunately, he was born before I was born, and I was already old after I was born."
"In this way, the ninja world can make great strides from the era of separatist ninja villages to the era of great unification without being reduced to rubble or even shedding too much blood."
After connecting the Byakugan that had just grown in the petri dish, Kaguya Rei's vision that had just been lost was restored almost at the same moment. The Byakugan that had grown up using his own chakra as nourishment was almost perfectly in line with his. The combination of the bodies did not bring about any drastic increase in chakra, but it allowed him to achieve perfect control over his body and momentum for the first time after the power of the corpse veins crossed the critical point.
If before this, Kaguya Rei in the eyes of Senju Hashirama was still a ninja with imperfections and flaws that could be defeated by seizing the flaws, then now, Kaguya Rei has become a perfect and perfect ninja. The flawless enemy no longer has any chance of being defeated by clever means.
"The bloodline of Hamura Otsutsuki is finally complete."
Feeling that she had reached a perfect body within the category of "human", Kaguya Rei took a deep breath and clenched her fists with excitement.
Then, a text that only he could see popped up in front of him for the first time in a long time:
