Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 273 The Rubik's Cube, Using the Otsutsuki to Command the Shadows (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Outside, the fighting raged fiercely, but the night in Konoha remained as tranquil and peaceful as ever.

When Genichi Kishita returned home, Shizune and Ina Uzumaki were busy in the kitchen.

Tsunade and Yekura sat down to rest and chat.

"Are the children asleep?"

Genichi asked Tsunade under the tree.

Tsunade nodded: "Shizune and Ina had already put the children to sleep before they came back, go and check on them!"

The four children are as follows: the eldest, Senju, is almost 11 years old; the youngest is Marin, the daughter born to Shizune in June of Konoha 63, who is already 2 years old.

"I'll go see the children first."

Genichi under the tree said as he walked towards the bedroom.

Chiki and Aoba share one room, while Karin and Marin share another; all rooms have bunk beds.

Under the tree, Genichi first looked at his two sons. Qingye had kicked off his blanket and was sleeping face down, just like when he was a child.

Shaking his head slightly, Genichi pulled the blanket over the little guy under the tree and gently patted his bottom.

Qingye groaned twice, but did not wake up.

However, just as Genichi was about to leave, Chiki rubbed her eyes and got up, saying, "Dad."

"Is the mission over?"

Genichi Shushita turned around, patted his son's head, and chuckled softly, "Yes, it's over, and it's a perfect ending."

"Go back to sleep!"

Chishu nodded, and was about to lie down when she stopped, grinning as she said, "Dad, I mastered Ice Release today."

Upon hearing this, Genichi immediately gave a thumbs up: "Well done, Dad will give you a present tomorrow."

Chishu's eyes lit up: "Is it ninjutsu?"

Genichi smiled and said, "You'll find out tomorrow. Now get some sleep, and you'll see when you wake up tomorrow."

Qian Shu nodded and obediently lay down to sleep.

Genichi left his son's room and came to his daughter's room.

Karin slept on the top bunk, feeling incredibly heavy.

Two-year-old Marin curled up in a ball, looking incredibly cute. Genichi took a sip of the fragrance from under the tree before quietly leaving the room.

The late-night snack is ready.

Genichi Shushita sat down opposite Tsunade, and then the several big eaters started eating.

I've been busy all day and I'm quite hungry.

Shizune and Ina have both become dedicated rice servers.

After eating and drinking her fill, Tsunade let out a burp and lazily said, "Ina's cooking skills are getting better and better!"

Silently, she said, "I made this."

A fleeting hint of embarrassment crossed Tsunade's face, but she said nonchalantly, "They're all the same!"

Uzumaki Ina covered her mouth and laughed.

Tsunade quickly changed the subject, asking Genichi Kinoshita, "Genichi, when do you plan to resolve the hidden dangers on the moon?"

Genichi Shushita finished eating, wiped his mouth, and said, "Let Naruto and the others handle it."

Yekura asked with slight concern, "Wouldn't it be too dangerous on the moon?"

"After all, if something goes wrong, it won't be so easy for the ninja world to come to the rescue."

Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno all performed exceptionally well this time.

It's better than many movies.

But people are naturally worried about younger people.

Especially on a battlefield as far away as the moon.

The Otsutsuki on the moon possesses a giant Tenseigan and seems to be quite powerful as well.

Tsunade, on the contrary, felt even more at ease: "Yakura, you're overthinking it."

"Although the moon is also dangerous, the people there shouldn't be stronger than the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki."

"At least we can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen with Uchiha Sasuke's eye technique."

At this point, Tsunade asked curiously, "Genichi, what kind of eye technique does Naruto have?"

"Madara Uchiha seems somewhat wary?"

Yekura recalled the situation at the time: "It seemed to be some kind of damage transfer?"

Genichi under the tree nodded: "It is related to fate. It can link the fates of designated objects and share damage."

Upon hearing this, Ina Uzumaki exclaimed in surprise, "Fate, amazing!"

Tsunade suddenly realized: "No wonder Madara Uchiha's invisible clone had the power to take down Naruto, but didn't dare to."

Indeed, even for Limbo Shadow, it wouldn't be too difficult to take down Naruto.

However, due to the nature of his eye techniques, even though Madara Uchiha had a higher tolerance for such attacks, he dared not take the risk.

As for Sasuke Uchiha, his Amenotejikara (Heavenly Hand Power) eye technique was enough to make him invincible when facing a Limbo shadow.

After chatting for a while, Tsunade got up first to wash up.

Uzumaki Ina and Shizune began cleaning.

Genichi pulled Yekura along and quietly slipped into the bathroom.

After Uzumaki Ina and Shizune finished their work, they were also forced to wash up again.

Exhausted after a long night.

The next day, Genichi under the tree got up very early as usual.

Because he still remembered the promise he made to his son, Qian Shu, and he couldn't break his word.

When Qian Shu finished washing up and hurried to the dining table, Genichi, who was already sitting there, pointed and said, "Hey, your gift."

Qian Shu quickly turned his head to look and saw a Rubik's Cube that was entirely black but had many dark red patterns floating in the air.

"This... Dad, what is this?"

"Some kind of ninja tool?"

Qian Shu stepped forward, examined him carefully for a moment, then turned to ask Xuan Yi under the tree.

At this moment, Karin and Aoba finished washing up and came over, curiously examining the Rubik's Cube floating in mid-air.

"What is this?"

"Qingye asked."

Just as Genichi was about to explain, Karin had already taken action and reached out to touch the Rubik's Cube.

The moment it was touched, the Rubik's Cube reacted. With a mechanical click, the cube rapidly deformed and collapsed, falling into Karin's hand like a piece of cloth.

Then, amidst Karin's exclamation, the deformed Rubik's Cube suddenly liquefied, rapidly enveloping Karin's hand and then spreading up her arm to her entire body.

Chiki and the other two stared blankly until Karin's body, except for her head, was completely covered by black substance, forming a black armor that fit her body perfectly.

"So cool!"

Aoba couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes sparkling; he wanted it too.

I don't know what abilities he has, but he's so cool.

Chishu couldn't help but stare wide-eyed; he also thought it was very handsome, but the problem was, his sister beat him to it.

I should have gotten it first.

Chiki was somewhat annoyed, but she didn't rush Karin to comply. Instead, she hurriedly asked, "Karin, how is it?"

"Anything special?"

Karin was still a little dazed. Hearing her brother's voice, she looked herself over and said, "My strength seems to have increased a lot, and..."

"There is also a neural response; you can feel a subtle electrical current stimulating and activating the cells."

Chishu's eyes lit up: "Is it the same effect as Kakashi-sensei's Chidori Instantaneous Movement and the Cloud Village's Lightning Release Chakra Mode?"

Karin nodded, about to speak, when a slightly mechanical voice rang out: "Little Master, Lightning Release cell activation is just my basic ability. In addition, there is electromagnetic field physical enhancement, Sage Mode assistance..."

"Is it you who's talking?"

Karin exclaimed in surprise.

Qian Shu and Qing Ye both stared wide-eyed.

The armored figure replied, "Yes, Lady Karin. You may call me Rubik's Cube. This is the name that Genichi gave me after he created me."

Karin and the other two all looked at Genichi under the tree.

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "The Rubik's Cube was created by me using the Yin-Yang Escape Technique... Well, it's a special kind of android, similar to the White Zetsu you've seen, like Ada and the others."

"Of course, the Rubik's Cube is more powerful than White Zetsu."

Upon hearing this, Chishu couldn't help but swallow hard: "An artificial human..."

"Dad, have you already created humans using Yin-Yang Release?"

He is already 11 years old and just entered the Root Experimental Class last year. In addition, he is allowed to access various ninjutsu and secret technique scrolls at home, so he knows a lot.

Shuxia Genichi laughed and said, "Strictly speaking, it doesn't count yet."

"At least the Rubik's Cube doesn't have a soul yet. Its consciousness comes from two parts: one is the genetic program I left behind, and the other is from my mental will."

Comparing a Rubik's Cube to a white cube is not entirely accurate.

It should be used to compare with black.

The Rubik's Cube is a creation similar to Black Zetsu.

However, Genichi Kinoshita weakened the existence of his own will and added more genetic programming elements.

If I had to say, the Rubik's Cube was created by Genichi Koushi; it was a super-enhanced version of the Stone Golem that Might Guy played with.

The Rubik's Cube's consciousness is not like Black Zetsu's, which possesses an independent personality, but it is more intelligent than the Stone Golem.

For example, actively protecting Qian Shu's children and flexibly utilizing the abilities of the genetic program.

It includes three main categories of abilities: Lightning Release, Electromagnetic Release, and Sage Mode.

Another aspect is the active absorption and storage of knowledge. Of course, when creating the Rubik's Cube, due to the injection of a portion of his own will, the vast amount of knowledge that Genichi Koushi possessed was also given to the Rubik's Cube.

Therefore, the Rubik's Cube can also be a not-so-smart teacher.

The creation of the Rubik's Cube was not a sudden inspiration of Genichi Koushi, but rather, like the creation of the Stone Man, a further attempt to create life using the Yin-Yang Escape technique.

The Rubik's Cube may not be a true life form, but it is very, very close.

Perhaps, in the future, the Rubik's Cube may even evolve into its own personality and become a real person.

After hearing Genichi's explanation, the three children exclaimed in unison, "Amazing!"

Qian Shu stared longingly at Xuan Yi beneath the tree.

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "A Rubik's Cube!"

"Yes, Lord Xuan!"

The Rubik's Cube responded, then detached from Karin and transformed back into its cube form, flying to Chishu's side: "Lord Chishu, according to Lord Genichi's orders, you are my first master."

Chishu couldn't help but grin.

Karin watched longingly; she wanted it too.

Then he looked at Xuan Yi under the tree.

Aoba was also envious and wanted it too, so she looked longingly at Genichi under the tree.

Genichi shrugged: "This is a reward for Senju's mastery of Ice Release."

"Karin, Aoba, if you can be like your brother, Dad will prepare gifts for you too."

Aoba quickly asked, "Is it also a Rubik's Cube?"

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "The Rubik's Cube is unique, but it's definitely no worse than the Rubik's Cube."

Upon hearing this, Qingye immediately clenched her fist, full of enthusiasm: "Dad, I will try my best."

Karin, not to be outdone, declared, "I can too!"

Of course, when I looked at my brother Chishu interacting with the Rubik's Cube, I couldn't help but feel envious.

Genichi smiled and nodded under the tree.

He was still very satisfied with his three children.

Chishu was self-disciplined from a young age, first awakening the Three-Tomoe Mirror Eye, then awakening the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai at age 6, and mastering Mirror Flower Water Moon at age 10.

Now, at the age of 11, he has mastered Ice Release, which is already his fourth bloodline limit.

Karin awakened her three-tomoe mirror eye at the age of four, mastered the Vajra Sealing Technique at the age of eight, and mastered the mental control bloodline limit from her mother, Uzumaki Ina, at the age of nine.

However, the Vajra Lockdown is not considered a bloodline limit.

Aoba, who was even younger, awakened her three-tomoe mirror eye at the age of four and mastered Magnet Release at the age of seven, enabling her to manipulate iron sand and gold dust. As for Shizune's youngest daughter, Marin, she had nothing yet.

Apart from their bloodline limits, all three of them, including Chiki, possessed enormous amounts of chakra.

Or rather, they all possess the immortal body of the Tree-Under-the-Tree Mystic One.

With a father like Genichi Koushi and a mother who also possessed a bloodline limit, Chiki and her friends were destined for greatness from birth.

Of course, whether he can reach the same level as Genichi Shushita is uncertain.

However, Genichi Kishita himself had full confidence in his eldest son, Senju.

With a sharp mind, self-discipline, hard work, and the solid foundation he provides, reaching the Six Paths level is not out of reach.

Before breakfast time, the three little ones were already chattering away around the Rubik's Cube.

Genichi Shushita didn't encroach on the three little ones' own space, and sat at the dining table browsing the gene sequencing report that Dou had compiled.

After a while, Tsunade and the others came back from taking the children out, and then they saw three children gathered around a Rubik's Cube, which could even talk.

"Hey, what is this?"

Tsunade and the others were very curious.

The little girl, Shinohara Marin, was even more curious. She struggled to get off her mother, Shizune, and ran towards her brother with her short legs, calling out "Onii-chan" all the while.

Qian Shu quickly bent down and picked up the little girl who had run over.

Marin stared at the Rubik's Cube, reaching out to grab it.

The Rubik's Cube lowered its height and shrunk its size.

Marin wasn't afraid at all and simply grabbed it in her hand.

"Hello, Lady Marin, I am Rubik's Cube."

The sound of the Rubik's Cube came out.

Marin was startled and threw the Rubik's Cube away, shrinking into her brother's arms, but her eyes were still fixed on the Rubik's Cube floating in the air.

The three of them couldn't help but laugh.

"Can a Rubik's Cube be transformed into something like this?"

Qian Shu asked.

"Lord Senshu, of course there is no problem."

The Rubik's Cube answered, and then, under the gazes of everyone, it first liquefied into a ball of black matter, then reshaped itself into a tiny person as tall as a doll.

Red eyes, a black body covered with dark red patterns.

So little Rin struggled to reach out her little hand to touch it, and the Rubik's Cube reached out in response, and then they became holding hands.

This time, Marin's experience was no longer that of metal; the Rubik's Cube felt like it was made indistinguishable from a real person.

"Hello, Lady Marin!"

The Rubik's Cube greeted us again.

Marin's eyes widened: "You know me?"

The Rubik's Cube nodded: "Of course, Master Xuanyi endowed me with this information when he created me."

"Dad~"

Marin looked at Genichi under the tree: "Dad, can I play with the Rubik's Cube?"

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "Well, you'll have to ask Brother Chishu. The Rubik's Cube is Brother Chishu's partner!"

So little Marin turned to her older brother and looked at him expectantly: "Onii-chan~"

Qian Shu scratched his head and laughed, "The Rubik's Cube is my training partner. When I don't have to train or carry out missions, can you let him play with you?"

Marin nodded happily: "Thank you, Onii-chan."

Seeing this, Karin and Aoba quickly added, "Me too!"

Qian Shu smiled helplessly and said, "You two should focus on your cultivation and let Daddy make one for you!"

It was also the first time that Tsunade and the others had seen a Rubik's Cube. They learned about it from Genichi Kinoshita during their conversation and were very curious about it.

"Xuanyi, can the Rubik's Cube operate alone?"

Tsunade asked.

Before Genichi Kishita could answer, Rubik's Cube said, "Lady Tsunade, I am capable of fighting alone."

"Because I can absorb natural energy to gain chakra."

"However, although I possess a battle mode, I lack true intelligence. Despite having abilities like Lightning Release and Electromagnetic Release Bloodline Limit, I am not flexible enough."

"Supporting is the best way for me to utilize my abilities."

Tsunade and the other girls were all very surprised when they heard this.

Ye Cang said, "This doesn't seem like it lacks intelligence."

The Rubik's Cube said, "Lord Yecang, my wisdom comes from Lord Xuanyi."

Xuan Yi under the tree said, "This is how it is for now. I don't know if I will be able to break through in the future."

The Rubik's Cube responded, "I will try my best, Master Xuan, and I hope I won't let you down."

Genichi raised an eyebrow and then smiled, "Very good, I look forward to that day."

……

The already lively atmosphere became even more lively at breakfast because of the addition of a special family member.

Rubik's Cube was being directed around by Karin, Aoba, and Marin. Rubik's Cube always spoke in a serious manner, even when joking, which made everyone very happy.

After breakfast, Chiki, Karin, and Aoba went to school, while Chiki stayed behind to play with her younger sister, Rubik's Cube.

Jingyin stayed behind to take care of her daughter.

Genichi Kishita, Tsunade, and Ina Uzumaki arrived at the Hokage Building together.

Large conference room.

The Hokage of all generations—the Kazekage, Mizukage, Tsuchikage, and Raikage—are all gathered together.

After everyone, including Shuxia Genichi, were seated, he said, "The intelligence is basically clear, but it's not good news."

The Raikage and Tsuchikage felt a chill run down their spines.

If it's not good news, then it's even worse for them.

In recent years, in order to deal with the threat of Uchiha Madara, various ninja villages have formed an alliance, using teleportation platforms as a connection, in addition to Konoha's experimental class siphoning geniuses.

Although these geniuses still retain their identities from their respective villages, their identification with Konoha, or rather, with Genichi Koushi, has deepened considerably.

On the surface, they still maintain their independence, but in reality, they have been heavily infiltrated.

If this continues, the ninja village will no longer have much of a reason to exist.

They originally thought that eliminating Madara Uchiha would allow them to restore the past situation, but now it seems impossible.

Mei Terumi and Yoruichiro didn't care; in fact, they had already actively integrated with each other, and their mercenary missions had been connected.

Ignoring the changes in Huang Tu and Darui's expressions, Shushita Genichi continued, "White Zetsu was created by Uchiha Madara using the First Hokage's cells through the Gedo Mazo. This was previous information."

"But now it can be confirmed that the White Zetsu we have seen, as well as the 100,000 White Zetsu hidden deep underground, are actually products of the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique."

"Infinite Tsukuyomi?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "So, they are actually people who have been under a genjutsu and transformed?"

Xuan nodded under the tree.

Everyone's expression changed, and some even broke out in a sweat.

Tsunade sneered: "The so-called Eye of the Moon Plan is indeed a trap."

Tobirama Senju asked, "Was the one who set this trap the guy you suspected earlier, Genichi, named Black Zetsu?"

Under the tree, Genichi nodded slightly: "It is indeed him."

"However, the previous speculation about his identity was also wrong."

"Or rather, the speculation about the identity of the entity that was sealed on the moon is wrong."

Yekura was taken aback: "Wasn't the Ten-Tails' consciousness sealed on the moon?"

Shuxia Xuanyi shook his head: "No."

"She was a woman named Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and she was the mother of the Sage of Six Paths!"

Everyone in the conference room was stunned.

"Wait, Lord Xuan Yi."

Darui said, "I remember you said before that the moon was a sealing object specially created by the Sage of Six Paths using the power of the Rinnegan?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "That's definitely true."

"Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away by the Sage of Six Paths, or more accurately, by the Sage of Six Paths and his brothers."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment upon hearing this.

The son sealed away his mother?

This is treason!

Hashirama Senju frowned: "What's the reason?"

"Is it related to the Ten-Tails?"

Genichiro nodded: "The First Generation's insightful eyes are indeed related to the Ten-Tails."

"Kaguya Otsutsuki ate the fruit of the Divine Tree and obtained the Rinnegan and Sharingan with nine tomoe, which are the origin of the two ocular techniques, the Rinnegan and the Sharingan. She gave birth to Hagoromo Otsutsuki, also known as the Sage of Six Paths, and Hamura Otsutsuki, the ancestor of the Hyuga clan and the Otsutsuki clan on the moon."

"But before that, Kaguya Otsutsuki had launched the Infinite Tsukuyomi, which ended the war that had lasted for over a thousand years."

"Kaguya Otsutsuki released some people, but others became nourishment for the Divine Tree. Afterwards, she continuously sacrificed living people to the Divine Tree, allowing it to absorb human life force to gain power. These people became White Zetsu."

"The Sage of Six Paths and his brother disagreed with this approach, so they went to war with their mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki. The two brothers worked together to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, which is the moon."

"The Divine Tree, also known as the Ten-Tails, was sealed within the Sage of Six Paths' body, making him the first Ten-Tails Jinchuriki. However, before his death, the Sage of Six Paths divided the Ten-Tails' chakra, creating the nine tailed beasts."

Tsunade said, "So, Black Zetsu is Kaguya Otsutsuki's will, manipulating things behind the scenes, and even being mistaken by Madara Uchiha as someone he created?"

Xuan Yi under the tree nodded: "That's true."

"Regarding the war between Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Rokudo, I think we can get the answer from the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku."

Minato Namikaze nodded upon hearing this: "Understood, I will ask Jiraiya-sensei to verify it."

Genichi Shushita continued, "However, the key issue now is not the war between Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Sage of Six Paths and his mother, but rather the origin of Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"She is not from the ninja world, nor is she from this planet, nor is she from the Divine Tree."

Everyone was stunned.

Huang Tu hurriedly asked, "Lord Xuan Yi, what does this mean?"

Xuan Yi under the tree said calmly, "The literal meaning."

"They came from other places outside the heavens, which means that Kaguya Otsutsuki was an alien, and the Divine Tree was planted in the ninja world by the Otsutsuki clan to absorb natural energy in order to obtain the fruit of the Divine Tree."

"You should be quite familiar with the vast uninhabited areas to the west of the mainland, right?"

Huang Tu nodded and said in a deep voice, "So, it was created by the divine tree?"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "That's right, the divine tree absorbs the earth's power, causing the land to become depleted and no longer suitable for human habitation."

"Furthermore, the Otsutsuki clan is searching for suitable planets to plant the Divine Tree, which means it's not just Kaguya Otsutsuki... Moreover, the Otsutsuki clan usually operates in pairs."

"Although we don't know what happened in between, we can confirm that there is still one member of the Otsutsuki clan lurking in the ninja world. That person is named Otsutsuki Isshiki, and he also has a Ten-Tails."

"Given such a long time, the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens will eventually come to harvest the fruits of the divine tree."

Minato Namikaze said with a solemn expression, "This means that Kaguya Otsutsuki is not the most terrifying threat."

"The most terrifying are the alien race, the Otsutsuki!"

Xuan Yi under the tree nodded: "Not bad."

"You should know that eating the fruit of the Divine Tree not only grants immense power but also a long lifespan. The Otsutsuki clan uses this to plunder life from various planets in the hope of becoming gods!"

god!
At this moment, Tsunade and the others felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

Madara Uchiha is that terrifying.

Above them was Kaguya Otsutsuki, and outside there was a group of guys who were similar to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Seeing the somber expressions on everyone's faces, Shuxia Xuanyi said, "Therefore, we need to concentrate all our efforts to deal with this crisis brought about by the alien civilization."

"We need to cultivate more geniuses and more strong individuals to face the invasion of the Otsutsuki clan."

"As you have seen, Madara Uchiha was only the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and already possessed the characteristic of immortality, while Kaguya Otsutsuki was sealed away for over a thousand years and is still alive."

"The Otsutsuki clan will never let go of the God Tree's fruit, much less the ninja world!"

"For the Otsutsuki clan, the ninja world is their orchard, and we are just the nutrients in that orchard."
