Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha lacks motivation.

"My two ancestors, I will come to visit you often."

Holding a glowing green orb, Uchiha Gin waved goodbye to the Otsutsuki brothers with a look of reluctance on his face.

Do you come here often?

This is a pure land, do you think this is your backyard?

Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who was eager for Uchiha Gin to leave, twitched his face. Did this kid really want to be his stepfather?

"Just let me know if you need anything. I may not be good at other things, but I'm always good at visiting graves."

"I want to burn it."

"No!"

After glaring fiercely at her younger brother beside her, Hagoromo Otsutsuki composed herself and slowly began to speak.

"My descendant, this sphere of light contains all that I have learned in my life. I hope you will use this power wisely and not go astray."

As he spoke, he cautiously glanced at his mother, who stood silently behind Uchiha Gin, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't give him a warning look.

"Okay, okay~"

Looking at the rambling Sage of Six Paths, Uchiha Gin waved his hand helplessly. All he wanted now was to find that Otsutsuki named Jigen as soon as possible and completely eliminate this unstable element.

"If I don't go back soon, those guys will start their feast."

I've been here for so long already, who knows what extreme things Xiaoguang and the others will do after they find me half-dead?

"Don't worry, the flow of time in the Pure Land is much slower than in the human world."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki shook his head, indicating to Gin Uchiha not to worry. He had been here all day, while only a few minutes had passed outside.

"Phew, that's good."

Hearing this, Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief. He certainly didn't want to wake up to find everyone gathered around him, lying on his back, eating a feast.

"Go back and remember the mission you have been entrusted with."

With a wave of his hand, Hagoromo Otsutsuki created a black hole with immense suction above Gin Uchiha's head, rapidly spiraling his consciousness in before he could even say goodbye.

"Finally, they're gone."

Seeing Uchiha Gin's consciousness ascend to heaven, the Otsutsuki brothers finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"snort!"

However, the next second, a cold voice rang in their ears. The two, who were supposed to leave with Uchiha Gin, were horrified to find that their mother, who was supposed to leave with Uchiha Gin, was standing there with her arms crossed. At this moment, she was staring at them with a pair of pure white eyes and a cold expression.

"Thump!" *2

"Greetings, Mother!" *2

Even though the two had become souls without bodies, they still felt a chill run through their bodies.

Unexpectedly, even after thousands of years, their deep-seated fear of their mother has only increased.

"Only a thousand years have passed, and you two unfilial sons have turned into this inhuman and ghostly state."

Kaguya squinted, her gaze sweeping over her two aged sons' faces, a strange mix of emotions welling up within her.

As creations born from their own power, the Otsutsuki brothers should possess endless life, just like pure-blooded Otsutsuki.

But after sealing her away, these two rebellious sons not only failed to escape aging, but also failed to overcome death, indicating that they had dispersed the power she had given them. Without the support of this primordial power, they aged and died like fragile humans.

"Mother, we are not like you."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki slowly raised his head, his purple Rinnegan staring directly at his mother, who was like a nightmare, his tone extremely deep.

"We choose to spend the rest of our lives as human beings, rather than as emotionless Otsutsuki."

The Otsutsuki clan is born with a natural affinity for wood, and their mission is to become qualified tree-planting experts; they have no other superfluous emotions.

But the Otsutsuki brothers are different. Although they are also of Otsutsuki blood, they have lived with humans since birth. Gradually, they were influenced by the complex emotions of humans and eventually decided to become human.

Kaguya Otsutsuki did not understand the inner world of the two brothers. At that time, she was only thinking about accumulating power to deal with the impending arrival of the Otsutsuki main family. The family members became enemies due to their differing ideals.

"Are humans really that attractive to you?"

Looking intently at the composed Otsutsuki brothers, Kaguya asked softly,

They were clearly family, and the children she had raised were turning against her with swords for the sake of lowly humans.

"Mother, you have never lived a peaceful life with humans, you don't understand what emotions are at all."

Feelings?

Kaguya was rendered speechless by Hagoromo Otsutsuki's words. A thousand years ago, she had indeed only focused on creating White Zetsu and had never truly understood the inner world of humans.

but now

"Who says I don't understand?"

With a slight tilt of her head, Kaguya's cold and beautiful face revealed an expression that the two brothers had never seen before.

That was a smile they had only ever seen on the faces of young girls in the throes of first love.

"hiss"

The two brothers gasped in unison.

"Brother, you're finished. I told you to give me something more substantial, but you wouldn't. Now it's too late to regret it, isn't it?"

Seeing the smirk on his mother's face, Ōtsutsuki Hamura quietly turned his head away, his voice full of schadenfreude.

"Shut up. I remember you even sent him two women. You're no better than me."

"Huh? You call that giving him away? He got it through his own skill, just like when I descended to earth back then."

Otsutsuki Hamura's face tightened, and he retorted guiltily,

"What are you two whispering about?"

After recalling the heartwarming moments she had shared with Uchiha Gin over the years, Kaguya Otsutsuki snapped out of her reverie and noticed her two rebellious sons gossiping. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Reporting to Mother, I want to report Hamura, he..."

Hagoromo Otsutsuki immediately raised his hand, preparing to shift the blame; if he suffered, his brothers wouldn't either.

"Stop! I don't want to watch you two brothers fight like dogs. I just want to know when you're going to let me out."

Kaguya has appeared, but not completely.

She is now merely a wisp of consciousness that escaped from the loosened seal on the moon years ago, possessing only the memories of the original body and less than one percent of its power.

Even after possessing Uchiha Gin's eye technique creation, Muryo, his power did not recover much.

Well...

Faced with such a pointed question, the two brothers exchanged a glance, momentarily at a loss for words.

After all, when he sealed his mother away, she wasn't in a good mental state; she seemed ready to destroy the world at the slightest provocation.

The mother standing before them now was not only clear-headed, but also possessed many more human emotions, and her words and actions were becoming increasingly normal.

"That descendant might not be a match for that old schemer, only I can help him."

Kaguya stayed behind to speak with the two brothers alone, hoping they would release her so she could help Gin Uchiha deal with Ishiki, who had escaped years ago.

"I'm sorry, Mother. My brother and I will handle Isshiki Otsutsuki. Please rest for a while, Mother."

Let's at least wait until they outlive Uchiha Gin, their prospective stepfather, before we talk about it.

"Are you sure? If we don't send a message back to our home planet for a long time, a new Otsutsuki will descend."

Sensing the brothers' refusal, Kaguya frowned slightly.

She knew the rules of the Otsutsuki clan well: if a hunting party did not report its situation to its home planet for a thousand years, the Otsutsuki home planet would send new members to investigate.

A thousand years ago, after consuming the Chakra Fruit, she sent a message back to her home planet, but not long after, she was sealed away by her two rebellious sons.

Now that the millennium is approaching, if no news is sent back, a new Otsutsuki will descend.

"The new Otsutsuki"

This was the first time the two brothers had heard their mother talk about their home planet, and both of them showed expressions of shock.

"That's right. To be honest, Isshiki and I also came here to find the missing Otsutsuki."

The latest novel is first published here!

To make her two rebellious daughters realize the seriousness of the situation, Kaguya revealed for the first time the secret she had kept hidden in her heart for many years.

"Huh? Before Mother, the Ōtsutsuki clan also descended upon this planet?"

"That's right, he was a senior named Shibai."

When Kaguya mentioned Otsutsuki Shibai, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes. Compared to this senior who had devoured countless chakra fruits, she and Isshiki seemed like two greenhorn recruits.

They received orders from their home planet to travel to this planet to search for traces of Otsutsuki Shibakai.

Unfortunately, plans don't always go as expected. Upon arrival, they discovered the planet possessed terrifying power, so the two decided to postpone their search and focus on getting a good meal first.

It was at this moment that the two disagreed on who should be the Ten-Tails' food. Kaguya took advantage of Isshiki's carelessness and betrayed him, throwing him to the Ten-Tails she was carrying.

However, I never expected that Yi Shi's divine technique would be so bizarre; he actually managed to escape while dragging his mangled body.

Kaguya had no choice but to plant the half-full Ten-Tails. Unexpectedly, the fruit that grew from the half-full Ten-Tails was not ripe, and the power it contained was not pure enough and was excessively violent.

After swallowing the fruit, Kaguya's body was the first to experience the effects of being overloaded. To alleviate the burden on her body, she divided a portion of her power, using Yin-Yang Release to transform it into two children, namely Hagoromo and Hamura, who are standing before her.

While her physical health was temporarily stabilized, Kaguya's mental state began to deteriorate.

Because the immature chakra fruit contained the resentment of the unrefined native ancient gods, Kaguya began to become paranoid. With nowhere to vent her irritable emotions, she ultimately caused a tragedy of maternal love and filial piety.

"Mother, please give us some time. We'll have to ask you to stay in this state for now."

Kaguya's words were undoubtedly a bombshell, utterly shocking the two brothers who had been sitting calmly by. However, unsure if their mother was lying, they decided to investigate further before making a decision.

"I'm not wronged."

Not only did she not feel wronged, she also felt that her current life was incredibly wonderful. She was fed every day, and when she was in a bad mood, she could massage her fluffy curly fur to soothe herself. She felt like she was in heaven.

If it weren't for the threat from Isshiki and their home planet, she would have loved for this kind of life to continue forever. What's the point of a chakra fruit if it doesn't smell like lemons?

"ha?"

Upon realizing that the seriousness on her mother's face seemed genuine, Hagoromo Otsutsuki's already waning spirit completely died. She then glanced at her younger brother, whose face beamed with smug delight.

"Hamura, what are you so happy about?"

"I gave him a giant Tenseigan, and what about you? An old, worn-out pitchfork? Or that pile of outdated study materials?"

"Dear Mother, I want to file a formal complaint!"

"Ugh~~~"

His wandering consciousness finally returned to his body, and Uchiha Gin slowly awoke from his slumber. Before he could even lift his eyelids to admire the long-lost human world, he felt two mischievous little hands frantically tugging at his precious curly hair.

There are always people who want to harm me.

"I want to rub it too!"

"This is mine!"

Upon hearing two familiar voices, Uchiha Gin's still-closed, dead-fish eyes rolled back in his head. Who could be so disrespectful? It was them, after all.

"Stop talking nonsense, or you'll go bald."

Feeling his scalp about to crumble, Uchiha Gin opened his eyes and warned,

"what!"

The two girls, who were vying for the right to use Uchiha's silver curly hair, paused upon hearing this. Seeing their teacher's teasing gaze, Uchiha, who was arguing with her best friend until her face turned red, blushed even more and quickly let go of the curly hair, turning into a good girl and sitting to the side.

"Curly-haired baboon, you're awake!"

Looking up, he saw Senju Itama's delighted face. Uchiha Gin then realized he was lying on the other's soft lap; the warm touch made his heart tighten slightly.

"Aren't you going to let go?"

Reaching out, he tapped the distinct black and white head in front of him. Gin Uchiha straightened up, feigning nonchalance, but his gaze unconsciously drifted to the pale thighs where he had just lain. A hint of conflict flashed across his face.

It seems my early education has failed. This kid doesn't even know that boys and girls shouldn't touch each other. Does he still think he's a child?

"How long did I sleep?"

After smoothing out his messy curly hair, Uchiha Gin noticed that the audience's enthusiasm hadn't waned; it was clear that the exam wasn't nearing its end, but rather was in its climax.

"It hadn't even been a few minutes, and we hadn't even had a chance to properly rub it together."

With her head covered, Senju Itama grumbled somewhat discontentedly, "Both of them were fighting, so why did Uchiha Gin only attack her?"

"A few minutes. It seems the old man wasn't lying to me."

Uchiha Gin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then felt something unusual in his palm. He subconsciously looked down and discovered that a tomoe-shaped tattoo had appeared on his palm sometime during the day.

"This is."

The chakra aura emanating from the tomoe tattoo was exactly the same as the learning materials given to him by the Sage of Six Paths; it seemed to be the transformation of the orb of light that Hagoromo Otsutsuki had given him.

"Hey, I guess I got to experience the latest version of the cheat ahead of time."

As a poor student, Uchiha Gin chose to put his study materials aside for now. The exams weren't over yet, and he was eager to see if Kurama (the Nine-Tails) could still stand upright after being split in two.

In the arena, the two women, each holding a Nine-Tails card, stood facing each other. Seeing this, Uchiha Gin stroked his chin, beginning to consider the issue of generational updates.

"Now that we have two Tailed Beast Cards, shouldn't we create a new driver to adapt to them?" (End of Chapter)
