Princess Kaguya keenly sensed the intense killing intent emanating from Hoshira, and her heart involuntarily quickened its pace.
The feeling of being shrouded in the shadow of death made her feel an unprecedented sense of oppression and fear.
She clearly realized that the man in front of her was not bluffing; he was truly capable of killing her.
However, deep down, Princess Kaguya still harbored a sliver of hope.
She once devoured a Chakra Fruit, thus gaining the unique ability of immortality.
Although her power is now far less than it was at its peak, this fundamental quality has never changed.
Therefore, in her opinion, the worst outcome now would be being sealed away again, rather than truly disappearing.
Therefore, giving up on chakra recovery is an unacceptable option for her.
For her, reclaiming the chakra of the ninja world and unleashing the Infinite Tsukuyomi was not only about regaining her former power, but also about fighting against the potential threat from the Otsutsuki clan.
She was well aware that the Otsutsuki clan possessed the power to kill her.
The betrayal by Gemini in the past has filled her with a deep distrust of others.
One option was to be sealed away, the other was to die; Princess Kaguya seemed to have chosen the right path.
Starflow gazed calmly at Princess Kaguya.
He didn't care about her choice.
Regardless of Kaguya's decision, dealing with it would be a simple matter for him.
With his will, the jet-black longsword that had once slain Isshiki Otsutsuki reappeared, its blade radiating a cold and mysterious light, as if it had even sliced through the surrounding space.
Princess Kaguya felt an unprecedented fear simply by looking at that sword.
Something seemed to be trembling deep within her soul, every cell screaming for her to escape this place.
However, when she tried to use the power of Yomotsu Hirasaka to open the escape portal, she encountered unprecedented obstacles.
Her previously effortless teleportation skills now seemed to be blocked by some invisible force; no matter how hard she tried, the door to another place remained unopened.
At this critical moment, Princess Kaguya finally realized her previous misjudgment.
She once thought that Xingliu might not be able to truly kill her, but now she understood that the man in front of her possessed not only the power to seal her, but also a terrifying ability to actually take her life.
Just as Xingliu was about to swing his longsword to end the standoff, Hei Zetsu suddenly appeared, breaking the extremely tense silence.
He knelt down before Xingliu as soon as he appeared, his voice filled with pleading: "Please wait, please give me a chance to persuade him!"
However, Xingliu seemed not to hear Hei Zetsu's pleas.
His gaze remained fixed on Princess Kaguya, and the longsword in his hand began to gather terrifying power.
Upon seeing this, Black Zetsu was extremely anxious.
He knew that if he didn't take action soon, it might be too late.
Then he turned and shouted at Princess Kaguya:
"Mother, several years ago, an Otsutsuki died at his hands! The so-called Otsutsuki clan was no match for him at all!"
Black Zetsu's words struck Kaguya's heart like a heavy hammer.
She looked at Xingliu in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.
If Black Zetsu's words are true, then the stance and beliefs she has always upheld will crumble instantly.
Princess Kaguya's original intention was to fight against the Otsutsuki clan and ensure her own survival and the peace of the ninja world.
However, if Xingliu truly possesses the power to defeat Otsutsuki, or even the ability to completely annihilate her, then her options become extremely limited.
The idea of giving up on recovering chakra began to quietly grow in Kaguya's heart at this moment.
After all, thousands of years ago she betrayed Otsutsuki Isshiki in order to survive.
Later, out of fear of the Otsutsuki clan, she activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi and created White Zetsu as her army.
Survival has always been her most fundamental motivation.
If the Starflow can offer another possibility for survival, then abandoning the recovery of chakra is not an unacceptable option.
Princess Kaguya looked up at the star stream, but his face remained expressionless.
She knew that if she didn't make a decision soon, she might be beheaded at any moment.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, Princess Kaguya made an unexpected move.
She bowed slowly, her voice revealing a hint of timidity: "I misspoke just now, please forgive my slip of the tongue, sir."
Her actions and words left everyone present somewhat bewildered.
However, Princess Kaguya didn't care about any of that; she only hoped to win a chance for survival by showing weakness and making concessions.
Xingliu coldly looked at Princess Kaguya; her show of weakness and pleading did not stir the slightest ripple in his heart.
He knew perfectly well that Princess Kaguya was like a time bomb; even if she acted docilely at the moment, the consequences would be unimaginable if she were given the chance to back out.
Unlike other ninja villages, where many people in Konoha can handle things on their own.
However, Princess Kaguya is not someone who can be easily controlled.
Her immediate and unthinking refusal just now showed that she wouldn't be too honest.
Therefore, Xingliu believes that rather than leaving this potential threat alive, it's better to take this opportunity to eliminate her once and for all.
Princess Kaguya's unease grew stronger as she watched Hoshino make no response.
She knew full well that her situation was precarious and that if she didn't take action soon, she might not have a tomorrow.
So she hurriedly spoke again, "My lord, I am willing to give you the Ten-Tails, please spare me this time."
Princess Kaguya was truly terrified at this moment.
She could clearly sense the intense killing intent emanating from Xingliu; that cold, sharp aura seemed to be about to completely devour her.
Her sixth sense was warning her that if she didn't find a solution soon, this day next year might really become her death anniversary.
In this desperate situation, Princess Kaguya could only hope that her words would move Seiryu.
She looked at Xingliu, her eyes sparkling with pleading and expectation.
Xingliu was indeed slightly taken aback after hearing Kaguya's words.
He looked at this once arrogant goddess with some surprise, never expecting that she would take the initiative to hand over the Ten-Tails to him.
Chapter 179 The End
However, he quickly recovered from his surprise and began to seriously consider Princess Kaguya's proposal.
If we could really win over Princess Kaguya, that would undoubtedly be a very good thing.
After all, her power level is extremely high, enabling her to do many things that others cannot.
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Xingliu.
After some thought, Xingliu slowly said, "Since that's the case, then I'll give you a chance."
"This is a seal I designed. If you are willing to let me engrave it on you, then I will let you live."
Upon hearing Hoshiryu's words, Princess Kaguya was overwhelmed with complex emotions.
She knew this was her only chance. Although it would come at a great cost, at least she could save her life.
So she nodded without hesitation, indicating that she was willing to accept Xingliu's conditions.
And that was enough for her.
Seeing this, Xingliu slowly dissipated the longsword in his hand into nothingness.
Then, he flew to Princess Kaguya's side and gently patted her shoulder.
In that instant, countless golden runes suddenly appeared around Princess Kaguya, as if they had emerged from the void.
Immediately afterwards, these inscriptions seemed to come alive and were suddenly imprinted on Princess Kaguya's body.
She felt a powerful force surge into her body, as if it were about to brand her soul with the mark of this seal.
Despite the excruciating pain, Princess Kaguya gritted her teeth and persevered, knowing it was her only hope for survival.
As time went by, Princess Kaguya gradually felt her body begin to adapt to this power.
The originally violent power became docile within her body, as if it had become a part of her body.
Finally, as the last inscription was imprinted on her body, Princess Kaguya felt a wave of weakness wash over her, but she also felt an unprecedented sense of ease.
At that moment, Xingliu whispered beside her:
"This seal is nothing special. However, if you dare to betray me, it will activate instantly and completely obliterate your soul."
Princess Kaguya's heart trembled upon hearing this.
She understood that this was Xingliu's final warning to her, and a pronouncement on her future fate.
She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "Yes, I understand."
After dealing with all this, Xingliu looked down at the allied forces.
His gaze caused many in the allied forces to involuntarily feel a chill and take a step back.
Among the five Kage, the most senior Kazekage, Shamon, was chosen to negotiate with Seiryu.
Shamen took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner tension and unease, and then solemnly spoke:
"Fifth Hokage, we acknowledge that Konoha has won this victory. Therefore, we are willing to accept any compensation claims."
Upon hearing this, Xingliu curled his lips into a disdainful sneer.
His gaze swept over the allied forces below, finally settling on the Shamen, and he slowly said:
"Actually, I don't have many special requests. I just hope that your ninja village can be disbanded, that's all."
Upon hearing this condition, Shamen was immediately taken aback.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, knowing that Xingliu might make demanding requests, this condition was indeed difficult for them to accept.
Disbanding the ninja village would mean abandoning their years of hard work and dedication, a decision they could not easily make.
However, recalling Xingliu's incredibly exaggerated performance just now—reviving the dead and destroying the moon—Shamen felt a sense of powerlessness.
In his view, the fact that Xingliu could easily accomplish things that only gods could do undoubtedly proved Xingliu's immense power.
