Naruto: They are all reborn.

Chapter 31 Kaguya

Inside the room, the two chatted casually.

What exactly were they talking about?

Even when Shi Xu was clear-headed, he couldn't answer. He was just talking on instinct, providing emotional support to Tsunade, who desperately needed to vent her frustrations.

And the person speaking is not clear-headed; one second they might be talking about things from more than ten years ago, and the next second they might be talking about something that happened on the battlefield.

But in any case, the two eventually talked about the surgery... no, it should be the experiment that happened during the day.

Half-drunk and half-awake, Tsunade held her cup and drank water as if it were wine: "Actually, I've never had this surgery before, and I've never met this person."

"Isn't this normal?"

This was a rather strange statement, but Shi Xu didn't think much of it.

The saying "truth comes out when one is drunk" is just something to take with a grain of salt. People whose minds are not clear are so confused that their memories are blurry, so how could they possibly speak the truth?

Tsunade ignored Toki's reaction and tried hard to recall, "What was I doing back then?"

"Hmm... I'm researching medical ninjutsu because Nawaki is dead. I want to research more medical ninjutsu and spread it throughout Konoha Village."

Nawaki, Tsunade's younger brother, sacrificed himself shortly after the start of the war.

Shi Xu remained silent, not daring to speak easily.

"I remember there was also... there was a time when I was preparing medicine for you. Your health was really poor, and the dosage of the tonics had to be controlled very precisely. It took me a lot of effort to figure out the correct ratio."

Ok?

Shi Xu looked up at her, almost instinctively sensing that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Those bastards! Bastards!"

Tsunade suddenly became agitated, cursing through gritted teeth.

"I never noticed before, I never even realized it! I can't imagine how many people they killed using Hashirama cells!"

"Interstitial cells?"

The doubts in Shi Xu's mind were immediately replaced by this new term: Is that delicious chakra extracted from these cells?

"Shi Xu, do you know?"

Tsunade put down the cup, stood up, and before she had taken two steps, she collapsed to the ground.

Shi Xu immediately jumped up and grabbed her, but because they were in such a hurry, they both fell to the ground: "Teacher, has anyone ever told you that your drinking manners are really bad?"

"Yes," Tsunade mumbled, her eyes still closed, "you did say that."

"Phew—I'm putting what I've learned to use right away."

Shi Xu pushed her away, stood up from the ground, and then picked her up and put her on the sofa.

"Teacher, what were you going to say?"

"Hmm... Let me think..." Tsunade leaned against him, her warm breath rhythmically hitting his neck.

"I remember now. The so-called Hashirama cells were my grandfather's cells. Only my grandfather in this world possessed such strong vitality. They dug up my grandfather's grave, desecrated his corpse, and then used these cells to kill others, all for the sake of obtaining his power."

"Wood Release, Wood Release... What's so great about Wood Release? He's never beaten me at the gambling table..."

As she was talking, Tsunade's head lolled to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Shi Xu: ...

"Now I know who you learned your gambling skills from."

He took off Tsunade's outer garment, wet a towel with hot water, and wiped the rain-soaked areas off her before putting her on the bed to rest.

Shixu wasn't interested in people who couldn't respond; she just wanted to take advantage of them a little before preparing tatami mats for herself.

After everything was finished, he stood by the window and watched the rain for a while, then stared blankly at the wedge in his palm.

Did the First Hokage ever imagine that he would meet such an end after his death when he founded Konoha?

Shi Xu gave a half-smile and a curse, then turned off the light and lay down to rest.

What does this have to do with me?

Anyway, if I die in the future, I must find a place where no one can find me and bury me.

Listening to the sound of rain, his consciousness gradually blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a desolate world.

"Nice to meet you, my 'vessel'."

The voice was unfamiliar, but Shi Xu immediately recognized it as the clear, cold female voice, like the moon.

He turned around and saw a woman floating in the air, as if waiting for him.

She wore a pristine white robe adorned with black magatama patterns. Her long, silvery-white hair trailed behind her like a flowing wedding gown. She had two horns on her forehead, pure white eyes, and a slit between her brows, within which something seemed to reside.

What's most peculiar is her skin—white, very white, almost an unnatural color for a human.

Shi Xu extended her right hand: "Are you the owner of the wedge?"

The woman nodded slightly and flew down to him: "I am Kaguya, Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"Kaguya? I've never heard of that name before."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Kaguya pondered for a moment, then said, "Those humans call me the Goddess of the Rabbit."

Shi Xu's pupils contracted slightly. He was familiar with this name; she was the goddess of legend who ended wars and brought peace. But when the legend became reality, he had to question its authenticity.

"Where is this place?" he asked.

"Your inner world," she replied.

"Is my inner world really this barren?"

"The appearance of the mind is meaningless."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xu seemed to be deep in thought, and a set of table and chairs, along with steaming hot tea, suddenly appeared beside him.

Like an English gentleman, he pulled out a chair and invited her to sit down: "You call me 'Vessel' because of 'Wedge,' right? Can you tell me what it is?"

Kaguya flew over and sat down. After he sat down opposite her, she continued, "Karma is a secret technique used by the Otsutsuki clan for reincarnation. It involves copying oneself and converting oneself into data, which is then injected into a container. The data will thaw over time and modify the container's body."

"In other words, your body will become my backup."

"This is a compressed file?" Shi Xu raised his right hand to look at it, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "When do you plan to possess me?"

Kaguya shook her head slightly: "No."

Why?

"Two conditions must be met to initiate the reincarnation ritual: first, all the data of the Karma must be thawed; second, the Otsutsuki himself who inserted the Karma must die."

In an instant, Shi Xu's breathing became heavy, and the desolate world trembled.

"You mean?"

A hint of pride appeared on Kaguya's face: "I am truly immortal, the closest being to the Otsutsuki God."

Having been exposed to so much information in such a short time, Shi Xu's thoughts were somewhat complicated, and she couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she simply asked for more information.

"And who is the Otsutsuki God?"

"Shibai, he has transcended the concept of life and death, voluntarily giving up his physical body and leaving this dimension." As she said this, Kaguya's eyes showed a hint of envy.

"You come from another dimension, which is why I chose you."

She's so easy to understand; her delicate little face is like a screen that can display her feelings.

Shi Xu tilted her head slightly: "So... you need me to help you obtain power beyond dimensions?"

Kaguya's expression turned stern, and she said angrily, "No, the first thing you must do is rescue me."

Shi Xu: ? ? ?

It's all paid off.
