Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

I'm begging for a monthly pass!

Actually, my update schedule isn't really that irregular...

It's just so dark, sob sob...

It usually happens around 23:45 PM every day…

Chapter 229 Kaguya: I once wanted people to understand each other.

And become a guardian recognized by this planet!

"Someone you trust?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki hesitated for a moment, then remembered her third son, who was probably busy with her resurrection. A hint of warmth appeared in her eyes, and she said somewhat awkwardly:

"What I have is that while I believe individual strength is important, the power of everyone working together is also extremely important..."

Qing Shui nodded knowingly, a smile playing on his lips.

Is this some kind of cosplay of the Sage of Six Paths?

A witch who wanted to destroy the world and turn all humans into White Zetsu weapons talked to him about mutual understanding.

Aozuki understood Kaguya's thinking...

In front of Aoshui, Kaguya plays the role of the Sage of Six Paths.

Given her quick wit, she couldn't come up with anything better in a short time, so she could only forcefully repeat the Sage of Six Paths' verbal beliefs, hoping to make it sound somewhat convincing...

“Tell me about your story with the Sage of Six Paths, and about Isshiki Otsutsuki, and your family…” Aozumi said softly.

Kaguya nodded, as she had expected this.

Aoshui, who sensed the presence of Isshiki, Hagoromo, and Hamura through her power, would certainly have a strong interest and doubt about this.

This is something that must be said…

Kaguya hadn't yet decided what she could and couldn't say.

Qingshui gently patted Kaguya, met her somewhat unfocused gaze, and said earnestly:

"Only with more information can I think of better ways to help you and everyone else overcome this difficult time..."

Kaguya and Aoshui looked at each other and saw genuine concern in those dark eyes, which stirred something within them.

like…

There's nothing wrong with telling Qingshui some things.

"I've taken over the persona of that rebellious Hamura, and I can gradually win Aoshui over to my side. Although he's just a mortal, he's managed to reach a level close to that of the Otsutsuki through his talent, and he even managed to summon me from the moon and then seal me away again..."

"If I tell him about the crisis facing the Otsutsuki clan, perhaps he can help me think of a better solution... By sharing this information with him, I can further gain his trust."

Kaguya quickly reviewed the logic in her mind and found that there was no problem.

Then, Kaguya began to recount information about the Otsutsuki clan, interspersed with her own little additions...

"I am from the Otsutsuki clan, a race that travels through space, absorbing planetary energy by planting the Divine Tree and transforming it into chakra fruits to continuously strengthen themselves..."

"I was born into a branch family. Although my talent and bloodline were excellent, my intellect and combat skills were rated as inferior. I was relegated to a branch family and became a tool used by the main family to accelerate the growth of the divine tree."

"I didn't want to rebel, but after arriving on this planet, I realized it's special..."

"The natural energy of this planet is extremely abundant, so abundant that if I were to seize the chakra fruit that grows here, I could turn the tables and kill my clan member—Isshiki Otsutsuki—who wanted to sacrifice himself for me..."

Qing Shui frowned slightly:

"After you kill Ikki, won't you become a rogue ninja and face retribution from your clan?"

Kaguya felt incredibly embarrassed.

She didn't really think that much at the time; she just didn't want to be fed to the Divine Tree by Yi Shi, so she acted on impulse.

She was terrified afterward and couldn't make up her mind on her own. In her collapse, in order to have someone help her plan her future, she even split herself into two consciousnesses, namely the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki.

But can this be said?

After saying that, wouldn't she just seem like a silly woman in Qing Shui's eyes...?

This is not possible!

Kaguya quickly racked her brains for an explanation, and in a flash, she remembered some information she had overheard within the clan…

Although the Otsutsuki clan is a powerful clan, they are not the overlords of this universe, and there are still many planets that they cannot reach.

Aside from those planets with powerful rulers, there is one type that is extremely special…

It also fits the characteristics of the ninja world, especially the mutual understanding that the Sage of Six Paths always talked about!

"My family will settle scores with me, but this planet has another extremely important characteristic—a high probability of awakening Gaia consciousness! That's why I've always advocated for mutual understanding among people..."

Kaguya strained to recall the information in her mind and slowly said:

"The so-called Gaia consciousness refers to the possibility that when the organic life forms on a planet collectively develop similar consciousness or emotions, they may be able to awaken the planet's core power, allowing the most recognized member of the group to become the planet's guardian..."

"I created those two rebellious sons so that they could help me spread the idea of ​​mutual understanding in the ninja world, so that everyone's emotions and consciousness would be focused on me and remain highly unified, making me the spokesperson for Gaia's consciousness to protect the planet and fight against the impending invaders..."

"But that rebellious son, Yu Yi, believes that people's hearts are unreliable and that mutual understanding is impossible!"

"He coveted my power and, together with Hamura, ambushed me, stripping the Ten-Tails that the Divine Tree had transformed into. He even created the moon to seal me inside, intending to brutally drain the entire planet!"

"Fortunately... Indra and Asura did the right thing and stopped him..."

Qingshui blinked, processing Kaguya's information.

Gaia consciousness…

This was the first time he had ever heard this word.

"If we can activate Gaia's consciousness, can we protect the ninja world and fight against the Otsutsuki clan?"

Qingshui frowned and asked doubtfully, "Even if this planet is special, the Otsutsuki clan is a race capable of traversing the universe..."

Kaguya gently shook her head:

"Qingshui, the divine tree has been planted on this planet for thousands of years, yet it has only managed to absorb about half of the energy from the surface..."

"The power contained in a planet is only a small part of the surface. Moreover, most planets can never generate consciousness, so even if they have great potential, they can only be unconsciously sucked and slaughtered by the divine tree."

"If the ninja world awakens Gaia's consciousness and recognizes me... then as long as I fight here and am recognized by the beings here, I can easily defeat even those elites from our own clan."

Qing Shui fell into deep thought…

Is the Gaia consciousness that Kaguya spoke of real?

In Qing Shui's view, this was not a lie.

Despite Kaguya's clumsy tongue and the fact that she had just been beaten up by him, she spoke fluently about Gaia's consciousness. Compared to when she had drastically altered her story with the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki, her speech was smooth and natural.

Aside from this detail…

The final confrontation initiated by various hidden villages and Qing Shui had long given Qing Shui a sense of profound understanding.

"Heart of the Mist", "Calamity of the Wind", "Rampage of Thunder", "Destruction of Stone"...

The ultimate reward for these special talents is various contracts representing natural energy.

According to Kaguya…

Gaia consciousness is the organic life form on the planet that has generated the same consciousness in individuals, and all possible products that can be stimulated.

In Qing Shui's view, these special talents were like the power given to him by the collective consciousness of a small group.

However, the crucial Konoha is still missing…

"Not only is Konoha absent, but Kirigakure and Konoha feel a sense of identification with me, while Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure feel fear. From an overall perspective, this emotion is not unified..."

"I need to find a major event, after the final confrontation with them, to focus all the emotions of the hidden villages on me and reach a consensus..."

Qingshui is very interested in Gaia consciousness.

The Otsutsuki clan are like silent hunting dogs, roaming the universe, using the Divine Tree to steal power from countless unconscious and fertile planets.

But once the planet awakens, these bandits will be no threat...

For Qing Shui, who was already manipulating emotions, the conditions for Gaia's awakening consciousness and his logic of action were extremely consistent...

In short, it's about making all life forms in the ninja world have the same emotions bound to Qing Shui.

"So, did you succeed back then?"

Aomizu and Kaguya inquired, "Mutual understanding fosters collective consciousness..."

Kaguya shook her head awkwardly. How could she have thought that much about it back then?

Furthermore, the awakening of Gaia consciousness on a planet is something that very few people in the Otsutsuki clan have ever encountered.

When we encounter them, we wisely choose to go around them.

Kaguya was just making up an excuse to deceive Aoshui.

"At that time, I had already established the Ninja Clan and gained the trust of most people..."

Kaguya hesitated for a moment before saying, "If those two rebellious sons cooperate with me, perhaps a hundred years from now, there will be an opportunity..."

Qing Shui nodded and fell into deep thought.

“Qingshui, this planet has already been delayed for a thousand years. The family must have already noticed the anomaly. Perhaps the pursuers are already on their way. We don’t have time to slowly awaken our consciousness anymore…”

Kaguya, noticing Aoshui's keen interest in Gaia's consciousness, flashed a sly glint in her eyes before turning serious and saying, "We'll have to think of other ways! It's all Hamura and Hagoromo's fault..."

Trying to awaken Gaia consciousness through normal channels is definitely not going to work.

If you want to speedrun...

There was only one path before Qingshui, which was the Infinite Tsukuyomi, a path that Qingshui himself knew about!

The so-called Infinite Tsukuyomi is an ultimate genjutsu that pulls all living beings in the ninja world into a dream. Doesn't this also seem to be a kind of unification of thought?

Forcing it doesn't meet the requirement of Gaia's consciousness and emotions being naturally unified, but how could Qing Shui understand these things?

Kaguya believed that someone as intelligent as Aozumi, after becoming interested in Gaia's consciousness by chance, wouldn't have failed to think of an alternative use for Infinite Tsukuyomi...

Once the Infinite Tsukuyomi is activated, and when the chakra of the tailed beasts bearing her mark is gathered within Qing Shui's body...

That will be the time to turn defeat into victory!
