Chapter 247 Negotiation Failure - Kaguya's Distrust

Ning Yuan felt somewhat honored that Chatunra had praised his abundant chakra.

However, he discovered that although Kaguya possessed a noble demeanor and a mysterious divinity, in terms of strength alone, she posed little threat to him.

But she just had a very oppressive feeling about her.

Why?

I'm very strong, so why is no one afraid of me when I walk down the street?

Moreover, Kaguya had only made an appearance, yet even a genius like Minato showed signs of wariness?

Ning Yuan looked Kaguya up and down, and an idea gradually formed in his mind.

Firstly, there's clothing.

Kaguya wasn't very tall, probably not even 1.70 meters, but her clothes were loose and constantly billowing like a blower, which made her slender body look even more bulky.

A large size naturally creates a stronger sense of oppression.

Secondly, Kaguya is 170cm tall, but her hair may be 5 meters long.

Her long hair connected to her body, which indirectly increased her height and size, thus enhancing the sense of oppression.

Finally, there's Kaguya's unusual appearance, clothing, and style.

This kind of attire gives the impression that it's not something a normal person would wear, but something a deity would wear, a high and mighty deity, untouched by worldly dust.

Once this impression is formed, one will imagine a sense of fear.

With the combined effect of multiple factors, Kaguya Otsutsuki naturally exudes a strong sense of oppression.

If you ever encounter a situation where you need to show off, you can take inspiration from Kaguya Otsutsuki's actions.

If we disregard her abilities and only consider her aura, her presence is even more imposing than that of Nuwa from the Investiture of the Gods.

"You are... a descendant of Hagoromo, but your techniques don't seem to be inherited from him!" As she spoke, Kaguya Otsutsuki activated her Byakugan, and then paused in surprise.

She could see through everyone's chakra flow, but she just couldn't see through Ning Yuan's!

However, she could tell that although these people practiced different methods, they all came from the same source, and the source of this source should be this young man.

Seeing that Kaguya didn't greet her son but chatted with him first, Ning Yuan simply abandoned the middleman and started talking to Kaguya directly.

"I am indeed a descendant of Yu Yi!" Ning Yuan said calmly, "However, in cultivation, I have also forged my own path, which I call the Path of Immortality. All those who walk this path are cultivators!"

"A cultivator!" Kaguya mused. "So, you're Hamura's successor?"

"No, no, no!" Ning Yuan quickly shook his head. This older woman had a deep-seated hatred for his son, and he didn't want to get involved with Yu Cun.

"We've only borrowed the word 'immortal,' but in reality, we're pursuing a path of power and immortality!" Ning Yuan said. "Two thousand years ago, there was a group of cultivators on another continent, but you wiped them all out. Our immortals are similar to them, except they only had natural energy within them, while we have chakra!"

"Cultivators from the neighboring continent?" Kaguya Otsutsuki thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I have never done such a thing."

"Really!" Ning Yuan asked doubtfully, "But according to the information we found, you came to this world two thousand years ago, and those people just happened to disappear all two thousand years ago!"

Kaguya immediately understood; it must have been Isshiki who made it.

As a guardian, she was supposed to protect the sacred tree every step of the way, but Shiki didn't have that restriction and ran around everywhere every day, which gave Kaguya the opportunity to steal the forbidden fruit.

So it's likely that Yishi encountered cultivators while traveling around and then killed them all.

but.

Kaguya Otsutsuki looked at the group in front of her and nodded in satisfaction: "Although I don't know what you're talking about, the Path of Sagehood and the fusion of chakra is indeed a good path. Your ages range from your teens to your forties, but the amount of chakra you've accumulated is already approaching that of Ashura and Indra."

"Such chakra should rightfully be mine!"

Ning Yuan was taken aback, then quickly called out, "Hei Jue, say something!"

"Mother, they're on our side!" Black Zetsu finally found a chance to speak: "They saved you, and they even knew you had enemies from the stars to deal with, so they had no choice but to withdraw their chakra. They said they could help you fight those enemies from the stars!"

"An enemy in the starry sky!?" Kaguya exclaimed in surprise, "How did you know?"

Even Hagoromo and Hamura didn't know about this!

"Just guessing!" Ning Yuan said, "I've always believed in the saying, 'It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.' As the first person to unify the ninja world and bring peace to this world, I believe your heart must yearn for peace, compassion, tolerance, and mercy for all living beings!"

Kaguya listened in a daze, "Am I really that good?"

Yes, that's exactly what I did. Back then, I ended the war and brought peace to the world because those people were suffering so much!

"But later on, you chose to betray humanity and become an enemy of the world!" Ning Yuan continued, "I don't believe a person can suddenly change their personality in such a short time. I believe you have some unspeakable difficulties!"

"But you are the Goddess of the Rabbit, capable of unifying the ninja world. Who on this planet could possibly be your match!"

"Considering you come from beyond the stars, we speculate that your troubles may also originate from beyond the stars!"

"This..." Kaguya was shocked. How could someone have guessed that?

While stunned, Kaguya couldn't help but feel angry again.

Look at this child, who is from a thousand years in the future, he can still guess what problem I encountered.

My two sons couldn't have guessed that they would even join forces with outsiders to deal with me?

"That concludes my reasoning!" Ning Yuan finished explaining his argumentation, then looked calmly at Kaguya: "Kaguya-sama, what are your thoughts?"

"You dare release me, a god who once contemplated destroying the world, based solely on your so-called conjecture?" Kaguya didn't comment on Ning Yuan's conjecture; instead, she was astonished by his actions: "What if your conjecture is wrong? Enemies in the stars may not come, but I, the god who destroyed the world, am right before your eyes!"

"First of all, do you admit that you come from the stars?" Ning Yuan asked rhetorically.

Kaguya nodded. It wasn't a secret that she came from the stars; everyone knew. "I admit it, so what?"

"That's enough!" Ning Yuan said calmly. "Now that we know there is life in the stars, the arrival of enemies is inevitable; it's just a matter of sooner or later. Even if they aren't your enemies, seeing such a beautiful planet suitable for life will still tempt them."

"Therefore, enemies must exist in space; your statement is invalid!"

"In my view, there must be enemies in the starry sky, but you are not necessarily an enemy."

"You have a history of unifying the ninja world and bringing peace to the world. Therefore, our initial intentions are similar, namely, that we have a basis for peaceful coexistence!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki gave Ning Yuan a deep look. She had previously thought that Ning Yuan was a descendant of Hagoromo, but now it seemed that the child should have inherited her wisdom.

How could Yu Yi be so clever?

"If there really are enemies in the starry sky, what do you plan to do?" Kaguya asked gently.

"I have followed in your footsteps and unified the ninja world once again!" Ning Yuan said. "After unifying the power of the entire world, we have chosen two possible paths to confront the alien enemies in space!"

"One of them is the Sage Path, a path that utilizes ninjutsu more efficiently. It can extend the lifespan of practitioners and mass-produce superhumans with chakra levels comparable to tailed beasts. As long as there are more such powerful individuals, the overall strength of the world will naturally increase!"

"Secondly, there is science, a technology that utilizes natural phenomena. When applied to people's livelihoods, it can develop the economy and benefit all living beings; when applied to the military, it can lead to the destruction of a nation, or even the destruction of heaven and earth!"

"Sage Mode, science?" Kaguya stared intently at Ning Yuan. She didn't understand science, but she had a lot to say about chakra.

The difference between an ordinary person and a god like her is not just the amount of chakra!

You have no idea how terrifying that race is, so whatever you do now is destined to be in vain.

The only way Kaguya Otsutsuki could think of to fight those people was to concentrate her chakra into herself.

With her two thousand years of cultivation, plus the supernatural powers granted by the Chakra Fruit, she might be able to barely protect this pure land.

A tear slid down her cheek, and Kaguya suddenly stretched out her hands.

"Holy crap!" Ning Yuan instantly understood Kaguya Otsutsuki's thoughts.

She still had to make a move!

But Ningyuan could tell from the tears in Kaguya's eyes that she was indeed loving.

In the original story, when Kaguya wanted to absorb Naruto and Sasuke, she also shed tears because she thought of her own children.

Given her naive and innocent personality, these tears are unlikely to be crocodile tears; they are more likely a natural expression of her emotions.

For a deity to shed tears speaks volumes about the depth of her sorrow.

After all, it's their own child who has to be sacrificed!

This kind of emotion might not be understood by the locals in the ninja world; they can only see that Kaguya Otsutsuki wants to reclaim her chakra and wants to destroy the world.

However, Ning Yuan, being a time traveler, was well-informed and could understand the sorrow of having to sacrifice some people for the sake of the common people.

Take Zhang Beihai, for example. Did he feel happy when he killed those veteran aerospace workers? His teacher was among them!

Could it be that Luo Ji really likes the immense power that button brings?

Don't forget, his own wife and children are also threatened by this button!

In reality, there will only be more such moving and inspiring cases.

For example, there's that famous line: "I don't care about your casualty figures, I just want Tashan!"

"Why won't you believe in the wisdom of future generations!" Ning Yuan tried to persuade her again, but Kaguya had already extended a gray-brown stick from her palm.

Kill all the ashes!

She didn't want to say a single unnecessary word, because she knew that some members of that clan could even travel back in time and see the past.

Every bit of kindness she shows to humanity now could become the root cause of this planet's destruction in the future.

What? You're saying the Otsutsuki clan wiped out all of humanity themselves?

Fun fact: People who are enveloped by the Divine Tree and pulled into the dream by the Endless Tsukuyomi can actually be resurrected.

Her actions were exactly the same as Haku's later ones; both created the illusion that the person in question was dead in order to deceive the Otsutsuki in the starry sky.

But if she feels pity for these people and says something she shouldn't, she might be discovered if she tries to use the same tactic again, causing the plan to fail.

Although she knew that even if she did this, the chances of humanity surviving were still very low.

But this is already the best solution!

During the attack, Kaguya focused her attention on Ning Yuan.

This is his junior, and because he has the same disdain for him as he does, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to consider him as his own child.

Despite not accepting my teachings, they forged their own path.

And the person is so smart, he's practically a combination of Yu Yi and Pre-stored!

But......

I'm sorry, child.

hum!

The ashes of the dead flew out.

In the anime, the All-Killing Ashes fly at an extremely slow speed; even an old lady could dodge them.

However, if you look closely, you'll notice that while the speed of the All-Killing Ashes is slow, the speeds of Naruto, Sasuke, and Kakashi are also very slow.

That doesn't mean the battle was slowed down by killing the ashes; rather, the creators slowed down the pace of the entire battle so that ordinary people could see it clearly.

In reality, during the final battle, the speed of Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, and Kaguya Otsutsuki was probably similar to that of the battles in Dragon Ball, which ordinary people couldn't keep up with with the naked eye.

Therefore, the speed at which the All-Killing Ashes were killed was also very fast; at least back then, even Kakashi and Naruto couldn't escape them.

Ning Yuan can certainly dodge it, as can Minato, Hatake Sakumo, and Hatake Kakashi, but the others might be in trouble.

Ning Yuan sighed and said softly, "Brother Shuimen, take the others and leave!"

As they were speaking, a flying sword shot out and knocked the two pieces of ash from the shared corpse away.

"Ningyuan, you need to..." Shuimen hurriedly spoke up.

"Since the negotiations have broken down, I can only use my strength to convince her!" Ning Yuan looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki in front of him. Since his debut, this seemed to be the first time he had failed in his verbal retort.

Unfortunately, their interests align: both are focused on fighting an unknown enemy.

The only point of contention is that Ning Yuan believes in himself, and also in Kaguya.

But Kaguya didn't trust Ning Yuan; she only trusted herself.

It's obvious that this time, talking won't convince Kaguya; only fists will do.

Having received the order, Minato asked with some concern, "What about me?"

"You don't need to come back!" Ning Yuan said calmly, "Even if you win in a two-on-one situation, it won't be convincing!"

"I understand!" Minato wasn't one to fuss over details, and he knew Ning Yuan's strength.

He pulled everyone up, not giving them a chance to speak, and took them away with the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, they didn't go far; they stopped not far from the vicinity of the Loulan Kingdom.

In any case, we still need to know the outcome of the battle.

Moreover, although everyone has confidence in you, your opponent is Kaguya Otsutsuki, the goddess of the rabbit from a thousand years ago!

Can he still win?
