"...Sister, didn't the Commander say that the real adversaries are in space? What's the point of conquering this planet?"
Kaga looked at the group of elementary school girl ship girls in front of her, put the sorted Grell ore into the space supply box and transported it onto the warship. After hearing her older sister's grumbling complaints, she sighed helplessly and said.
Kaga, Akagi's younger sister, also has a pair of prominent fox ears, except that hers are silver-white. Underneath her blue and white kimono, which is also open at the chest, are rounded breasts that are no less impressive than her sister's.
Nine silver-white fox tails fluttered around her on both sides of her body, and her slender, fair legs were visible beneath her small, white Japanese-style short socks. Her icy blue eyes held a coldness unlike her sister's alluring charm.
"Kaga~, you didn't understand what your older sister was really complaining about and what she was really yearning for. What I want is a battle led by a commander!"
Akagi chuckled and precisely tossed the Grell ore in her hand into a spatial storage box. In her mind, she recalled the fervor and excitement of her other sisters in the Golden High Heaven, and the dazzling figure of that golden lion leading them in a life-or-death battle.
Fearless of death, they vent their emotions on the battlefield as if they were living through death. Akagi only heard other sisters describe it or felt it through the mental network, but it was all unreal and did not belong to her.
Hearing her sister's words, Kaga rolled her eyes at her sister, then said speechlessly to Akagi, "...Sister, you're just eager to show off because you want to get closer to the Commander, aren't you?"
Didn't you understand what your sister was complaining about and what she was longing for? Don't be ridiculous, do you think I, Kaga, don't understand you?
You treacherous wolf, all you want is to replace the port area and have high-ranking officials like Frederick appointed by the commander get close to Reiji.
I'm being kind to you by not saying anything, so stop trying to argue with me.
"Hey, it's both. Isn't it said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier? Isn't it right for me to have ambition?"
Akagi blushed when her younger sister Kaga bluntly pointed out her ambitions, and readily admitted what Kaga had said, though she still managed to embellish her purpose with some plausible reasons.
However, when Akagi saw her sister's disdainful look that seemed to say, "Just admit you're lusting after the Commander," she stopped arguing and could only look up at the moon helplessly.
But this sight made Akagi's eyes narrow strangely. Her terrifying gaze, far exceeding that of an astronomical telescope, scrutinized the moon in the sky. Her gaze gradually became unfocused, and then she revealed an experienced look and said, "Kaga, look! The moon in the sky seems to be shaking!"
Kaga sighed speechlessly, thinking her sister was trying to change the subject. The excuse of the moon shaking was really lame. However, she could see that her sister's eyes were genuine, so out of curiosity, she looked up at the moon in the night sky.
Then she and her sister were surprised to see that the moon in their sight was indeed shaking violently, and a lot of fragments were scattering.
What left Kaga and Akagi speechless was that the moon, which had been shaking continuously, suddenly stopped, and in the next instant, before they could even react, nearly 40% of the moon visibly exploded completely.
That's right, four-tenths of the moon shattered as if a celestial dog had devoured it.
Under that eerie and chilling black-purple explosive light, all parts of the main world were terribly affected, and catastrophic changes occurred all over the world!
Rumble——!
Countless places with unstable crusts resounded with deafening roars, the vast earth began to wail in agony, terrifying cracks spread for thousands of miles in an instant, mountains collapsed one after another, and earthquakes occurred in various places at the same time.
At the seaside where Akagi and Kaga were located, a tsunami hundreds of feet high was whipped up by surging waves, but fortunately, they easily resolved the situation after they reacted.
However, other parts of the ninja world were not so lucky; countless islands and islets in the Land of Water were swallowed up and disappeared.
The volcano in the Land of Earth, which had previously shown no signs of eruption, suddenly roared in anger, and a super tornado that reached the sky began to swirl in the desert of the Land of Wind.
All the major ninja clans in the ninja world witnessed this scene in utter stunned silence. The pitch-black light that erupted from the moon, which made their souls tremble, was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
"What... is that!?"
In a battlefield camp separated by the Senju and Uchiha clans in the Land of Fire, Madara Uchiha, a boy with a punk hairstyle, and his younger brother Izuna stared wide-eyed at the astonishing changes taking place on the moon.
Madara Uchiha, who had already succeeded as the head of the Uchiha clan, awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan along with his younger brother after his father sacrificed himself in the war against the Senju clan.
He originally thought that apart from Hashirama Senju, there was nothing in this world that could shock his Uchiha team, but the fact that the moon was collapsing was something he really couldn't understand.
Not only did he not understand, but Hashirama Senju, Madara Uchiha's best friend, also couldn't understand it.
Seeing the sky above, where the expression suddenly turned to one of utter incomprehension, Hashirama turned to his younger brother Tobirama beside him and asked softly:
"Tobirama, is this the legendary 'heavenly dog eating the moon'?"
Upon hearing his powerful but brainless older brother's words, Tobirama Senju snapped out of his incredulous daze.
He looked at his elder brother, who was now the clan leader, with a blank expression, and said with a twitching mouth and a tone of disappointment:
"A celestial dog eating the moon? My foot! The moon was destroyed by some unknown external force!"
Yes, it looks like it's been destroyed, and with unbelievable destructive power. Could there be life on the moon?
Are they also waging war like the ninja world? What terrifying force is about to destroy the moon?!
—The moon has been destroyed? Could it be that Mother has escaped?!
The creature, which resembles an unidentified being condensed into a shadow, is Black Zetsu, one of the most cunning and treacherous figures in the Naruto world. He was originally lurking in the dark corners of the Land of Fire, observing the battle between the Senju and Uchiha clans.
But after seeing that a large part of the moon in the sky had collapsed, he was first stunned in disbelief, and then overjoyed!
Only Mother could possess such power! Could it be that Mother escaped from the moon?!
Or is there something wrong with the descendants of Hamura who live on the moon and are responsible for guarding the seal of their mother?
Neither of these scenarios would be a bad thing for Black Zetsu, though he would prefer the former.
Damn it, I really want to go to the moon and see what's going on. I remember that Hamura left a space tunnel to the moon on Earth. I need to find a chance to go to the moon and check out some intelligence!
Black Zetsu's thoughts were inevitably stirred by his mother. The reason he had lived until now was to liberate Kaguya Otsutsuki, for which he had endured for over a thousand years, and he was willing to continue doing so.
The trip to the moon must be put on the agenda, but the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra's chakra cannot be abandoned at the moment.
This generation of Indra's chakra reincarnations is exceptionally talented, giving Black Zetsu a chance to recreate the Rinnegan.
Therefore, we must find an opportunity to plunge Madara Uchiha into darkness. Black Zetsu already has a plan: all we need to do is kill Izuna, Madara's only remaining family member.
Then you only need to put a little effort into Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
With that thought in mind, Black Zetsu's body sank deeper into the earth, heading towards his planned destination.
And in the underworld that belongs to this world after the moon underwent a destructive change.
It was unusually dark here, as if there was no light. The cold world had lost all its warmth, and everywhere exuded a deathly stillness.
Countless silent souls sat by their own fires in the pitch-black darkness, where time seemed to stand still, their eyes gazing blankly at the flames.
In a place deeper within the underworld, there stands a unique mountain peak that radiates boundless light.
At this moment, on the mountaintop, an old man holding a tin staff floated in the air with his eyes closed and legs crossed, dressed in white like an immortal.
But in the next moment, the old man holding the staff symbolizing Yin and Yang suddenly opened his pale purple Rinnegan eyes and said in an extremely solemn tone, "What's going on? How can there be an aura of death on the moon that is even stronger than that of the Underworld!?"
The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, is the identity of this old man. Even now, though he remains in a soul form after death, he senses in the underworld that something terrible has happened on the moon formed by the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei.
What the Sage of Six Paths couldn't understand was why there was an even stronger and more intense aura of death erupting on the moon than in his own underworld.
Although he sensed that his mother was still trapped, he couldn't calm down until he figured out what was going on.
"Brother..."
At this moment, accompanied by a solemn voice, a white light appeared behind the Sage of Six Paths, and a sage also dressed in white, namely Hagoromo Otsutsuki's younger brother Hamura Otsutsuki, appeared there and said in a very heavy tone:
"My consciousness left behind on the moon has vanished, and my descendants can no longer sense it either... they..."
"Alas, my condolences. If they are dead, did they come here?" The Sage of Six Paths sighed heavily, then turned his attention to something more important and asked.
If a descendant of my younger brother, Hamura, were to die and come here, I could simply go and ask, but...
"No, I didn't find their souls in the underworld, but I'm pretty sure they're all dead!"
Hamura Otsutsuki's expression was extremely grave. He then used his Tenseigan to gaze into the dark distance of the Underworld, where new spirits were constantly appearing, dazed and confused as they entered the darkness and fell silent.
Although he no longer had any attachment to the mortal world, he could not be indifferent to the seal on his mother that his descendants were guarding. If Kaguya were to break free, she would surely turn the ninja world into a living hell, and the number of spirits in the underworld would probably increase dramatically.
The Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was also worried, but he was worried about something more serious.
"This generation of Asura and Indra successors are both exceptionally talented. If necessary, I will awaken within their consciousness, and then..."
"That's all. The dead should just lie there in the underworld. If you want to move around, how about coming to hell here?"
Suddenly, the Netherworld space in front of the Sage of Six Paths shattered, and an incomparably dazzling golden light illuminated the deep darkness of the entire Netherworld in an instant.
Raiji's ultimate touch (clone), Shadow Companion, crossed the boundary between life and death in the golden form of the Lord of the Tomb of the Dead.
Amidst the incredulous gazes of Hagoromo, the Sage of Six Paths, and Hamura, a dazzling golden figure, wielding a golden holy spear that made their souls tremble, descended upon this world of the underworld, imbued with the annihilating power of Death Thought Purification and Playfulness!

Chapter 8 Dragon Vein Crystallization, Ship Girl Limit Break
Meanwhile, Lei Zhe and Xiao Sheng arrived at the ancient kingdom of Loulan, located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, to extract the power of the dragon vein.
As for what would happen to the people of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, Lei Zhe didn't care at all. The dragon vein is underground and only the capable can live in it. You have a lot of people and can build a country on it to guard it. I have the power to take it away as well.
However, Lei Zhe and Xiao Sheng didn't kill anyone. They simply unleashed their power to stun everyone, and then Xiao Sheng used a spell to extract the massive dragon vein.
Both of them witnessed the anomaly on the moon. Reiji's face twitched slightly. He could naturally sense that the power of the Abyss had been activated. It seemed that Ron had used a portion of the power of the End.
Thinking about the Otsutsuki clan on the moon possessing the Tenseigan, and the situation in the original work where Otsutsuki Toneri cut the moon.
Ron's actions were understandable, but considering the catastrophic impact on the planet, Rezer would also take some time to repair the moon.
As for the Land of Lightning, with his powerful clones guarding it, at least the people there won't be affected by natural disasters.
After a while, the Land of Lightning, under the intervention of Raizetsu, will establish a ninja village ahead of the Land of Fire.
"Zhe, the power of this dragon vein seems to contain fragments of time, and this power is of a higher quality than chakra."
At this moment, in Xiao Sheng's fair little hand, a crystal-clear, amethyst-like, billiard ball-sized light jade crystal rested quietly, and Xiao Sheng looked at the high-energy crystal in her hand with great interest.
This thing can be called Dragon Vein Energy Crystal, which was easily sealed and compressed into a crystalline state by Little Saint.
Within the tiny energy crystal, space, time, and even all concepts cease to exist; the highly concentrated compressed energy distorts all rules.
When the immense dragon vein was being extracted to form crystals, Xiao Sheng sensed that this massive dragon vein had already affected time. If an ordinary person were accidentally sucked into the dragon vein, they would either be strangled by time and space or be transported to an unknown era in this world.
Lei Zhe squinted at the highly compressed, high-density energy sphere in Xiao Sheng's hand, a sphere where time and space no longer existed. He had somewhat underestimated the dragon veins of the Naruto world.
"This thing has been forged over thousands of years and is now a rare and precious treasure. It is formed by the fusion of the spiritual energy (natural energy) and chakra origins of this world."
With the power of time and causality acting on his eyes, Lei Zhe looked into the distant past through the cause and effect of the dragon vein, gaining insight into the essence and origin of the dragon vein's power.
That is high-quality energy formed by the roots of the sacred tree that penetrated deep into the ground thousands of years ago, which were pounded and fused with natural energy for thousands of years.
Some people believe that the Divine Tree was uprooted long ago when the Sage of Six Paths and his brothers sealed their mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki.
Actually, that's not the case. Generally, the root length of a tree is several times that of its trunk, and in some desert regions, the root length of some vegetation can even reach dozens of times that of the trunk!
A typical example is a plant called ryegrass. A mature ryegrass plant has 1500 million roots and branches, with a total root length of 644 kilometers!
As a divine tree that requires the entire planet as nutrients to grow, it is the most terrifying plant in the Naruto world in terms of vitality, and cannot be measured by normal plant standards.
Even though the Divine Tree has been defeated and sealed by the Sage of Six Paths and his brothers, there is still a huge amount of chakra in the hundreds of millions of roots left underground.
The Sage of Six Paths did not fully comprehend the terror of the Divine Tree, whose complexity was, after all, the result of a civilization that planted trees across the universe.
