The world I hear is completely different from yours.

"My God! To be able to conjure such a magnificent palace overnight, truly worthy of Her Majesty the Goddess!!" A-Guild exclaimed in astonishment, looking up as he led his entourage into the spacious plaza. Guided by a large retinue of servants, they dispersed to the various living quarters of the palace, intending to rest and bathe before paying their respects to Princess Kaguya. Along the palace corridors, the group repeatedly expressed their heartfelt admiration for the intricately carved beams and painted rafters and the exquisite decorations, like country bumpkins visiting a grand garden. Even the servants couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.

The evening audience was held in the grandest hall in the palace complex. In this enormous palace, which could accommodate thousands of people, the messengers who came to pay their respects to Princess Kaguya lined up in an orderly fashion on both sides of the hall, guided by their attendants. They dared not breathe or make a sound, just as the subjects of an ancient dynasty stood quietly in the palace to pay homage to the emperor, waiting for the appearance of the sovereign of the world, the "Goddess of the Rabbit."

Finally, after an unbearable silence, the attendants in the hall played music that symbolized nobility, announcing the arrival of the esteemed goddess.

"Finally here! You've really kept me waiting for a long time, Your Majesty!!" Tian Qing's spirits lifted, and she clenched her fists excitedly.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Princess Kaguya appeared on the high platform of the main hall, followed by a large retinue of attendants carrying various royal insignia, displaying the grandeur of royalty. However, many sharp-eyed envoys immediately noticed something unusual about the procession: in the arms of two attendants behind Princess Kaguya, they were carrying two children who appeared to be about two or three years old. Furthermore, the children's clothing was similar to Princess Kaguya's, and they had horns on their foreheads that resembled hers—they were very likely Princess Kaguya's own children!

"Damn it!! Which bastard acted so quickly? He won the goddess's favor so fast. Has the heir to the empire already appeared?" Many envoys cursed inwardly, while secretly removing the handsome men originally intended to be presented to the goddess from the gift list, so as not to displease her.

Upon seeing the two infants, Tian Qing immediately understood: "No wonder Princess Kaguya didn't immediately unify the world after eating the fruit of the Divine Tree, but waited a long time before taking action herself. It turns out she was unable to leave because she was giving birth to these two infants."

However, Tianqing did not believe that any man had seduced Princess Kaguya, because it was clearly recorded in the original work that Princess Kaguya was an ascetic and had no lover at all. Moreover, Princess Kaguya did not need anyone else's "help" to give birth to her children. Just like how Princess Kaguya created her youngest son, Black Zetsu, in the instant before she was sealed away, as a member of the Otsutsuki clan, she was able to create the next generation on her own.

"So Kaguya's chakra harvesting plan has already begun? First, she spreads chakra throughout the world, and after people have developed and strengthened their chakra, she uses Infinite Tsukuyomi to harvest it all at once and take it back to herself, thereby greatly increasing her power. She can also create White Zetsu as absolutely loyal cannon fodder for her army!" Tianqing thought to herself as she looked at the two children. "However, Kaguya probably didn't expect that her two sons would choose to stand on the side of humanity and seal her away! It was because of this lesson that Kaguya later emphasized Black Zetsu's loyalty when creating him!"

While Tian Qing was lost in thought, the envoys' worship ceremony had begun. All the attendants on the high platform had withdrawn, leaving only Princess Kaguya seated on her throne and the two children standing beside her. Then, one by one, the envoys stepped forward from the ranks, walked to the center of the hall, and knelt to offer their highest praise to Princess Kaguya on the platform. However, amidst the waves of flattery from the envoys, Princess Kaguya herself, perhaps accustomed to it, showed no reaction. The two children, however, displayed curious expressions, clearly finding the scene quite novel.

Finally, it was the Shinto priests' turn to pay their respects. However, amidst the strange looks from the crowd, the Shinto priestess, Okuni, did not make a move. Instead, the little priestess named "Tenharu" beside her stepped forward first, stood in the middle of the hall, looked at Princess Kaguya, and revealed a strange smile on her face.

Before anyone could react, a giant with a completely blue body suddenly appeared behind Tian Qing, and its thick fist smashed out with lightning speed!

"Take this Pegasus Comet Fist!!!"

With a clear, melodious voice, the fist slammed into Kaguya-hime's face, who was completely unprepared!

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Princess Kaguya had no time to react. She hadn't expected such a brazen envoy to attack her during her audience ceremony! Therefore, the moment the attack struck, Princess Kaguya couldn't defend herself immediately, and the incredibly fast-moving Colossus's fist forced her to take a full-blown blow!

PS First update

Chapter Eighteen: Sage of Six Paths, I am your father!

boom!!!

With Tian Qing's all-out punch, Princess Kaguya on the throne was sent flying along with the huge throne. After crashing through the wall behind her, she continued her momentum, shooting straight out like a cannonball, destroying all the palaces large and small she encountered along the way, and finally crashing heavily into a distant mountain, creating a huge crater in the mountainside!

The hall was utterly silent. All the envoys and attendants could hardly believe their eyes! That was Princess Kaguya, the "Goddess of the Rabbit," the one who, with godlike power, unified the world in a single day! And she couldn't even withstand a single punch, sent flying like that?!

Surprise, shock, disbelief... a variety of expressions appeared on the faces of the people around, and in the end, they all turned into the same question: Who exactly is this girl dressed as a shrine maiden, and why did she suddenly attack Princess Kaguya?! Some of the more observant people remembered how much the shrine maiden Okuni had valued this girl before, and they immediately looked at the Shintoists with suspicious eyes. Could all of this be a conspiracy secretly planned by Shintoists?

Just as the Shintoists were at a loss for words, Tianqing leaped onto the high platform and stood in front of the two children.

They were two adorable little boys, dressed in clothes similar to Kaguya's. Although their appearances were similar to ordinary human children, the small horns on their foreheads indicated their special bloodline. Moreover, despite their young age, their actions and demeanor revealed an intelligence far beyond their years. Even in the perilous moment when their mother was knocked away and enemies appeared before them, the two children showed no signs of crying or fear. Instead, they bravely raised their heads and glared fiercely at Tian Qing, their chakra surging!

But how could these rookies, who had no combat training, possibly deal with Tian Qing? Just one glare from Tian Qing filled with murderous intent made the two innocent children feel as if they were naked and standing in the freezing cold, trembling all over, let alone resisting!

Just then, the slightly older child mustered all his strength and, with his trembling body, stood in front of his younger brother, trying to protect him from the attack of this terrifying woman.

"No matter what, I will protect my brother with my life!!" he roared in his heart, even as his body trembled under the terrifying killing intent.

Suddenly, the terrifying killing intent that had enveloped them vanished, and then the woman in front of them spoke.

"Do you have names now?" Tian Qing asked the two children softly.

The two children stubbornly gritted their teeth and didn't answer. However, thanks to Tian Qing's listening ability, their clothes answered for them: "No, because they are too young and haven't even awakened their Rinnegan yet, Princess Kaguya didn't give them formal names. She just gave them the nicknames 'Big Dog' and 'Second Dog'."

No name yet? Great! Then the first step of the "I am your father" plan officially begins!

"I see..." Tianqing looked at the two children in front of her, a look of nostalgia and sighing appeared on her face, like a man who found out that his ex-girlfriend had secretly given birth to twins for him. "Then how about we name them Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura? I once told Kaguya that if we had two children in the future, we would name one Hagoromo and the other Hamura!"

Although Tian Qing's voice wasn't loud, since she didn't try to conceal it, the envoys standing close to the platform heard it clearly. Their expressions immediately became incredibly varied; they were so shocked they could barely speak! Holy crap, what the hell is going on? The goddess's girlfriend has come to cause a fight?

Upon hearing Tian Qing's words, the two children's expressions were a mix of shock, confusion, and doubt. Finally, the older child spoke up: "Nonsense! I don't believe you! You bad woman!!"

Boom!! A deafening roar!! A boundless killing intent descended from the sky! Stunned by Tian Qing's sudden attack, Princess Kaguya, who had been sent flying far away, finally reacted and charged forward like a madwoman, ready to unleash her divine wrath!!

"Sigh, her temper is always so volatile! You two have really suffered these past years!" Tian Qing shook his head helplessly, like a domineering CEO looking at his girlfriend with doting eyes. Then, the giant warrior behind him unleashed a massive amount of chakra and fearlessly leaped towards Kaguya-hime!

Obelisk the Colossus *Overload Mode!! By forcibly injecting a massive amount of chakra, at the cost of damaging the Colossus's body, its combat power is forcibly pushed to the limit!! This was originally just a last-ditch effort similar to the "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique," but Tian Qing recklessly used it directly, even adjusting the power of this overload mode to its maximum! Under these circumstances, the Colossus's combat power increases exponentially, but its body is like a piece of porcelain riddled with cracks, completely collapsing within just a few dozen seconds!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Countless explosions erupted in the sky, whipping up endless whirlwinds, and even the thick divine tree swayed precariously in the aftershocks of the battle!

After countless punches exchanged, Princess Kaguya was once again sent flying like a cannonball struck by a sledgehammer weighing hundreds of thousands of tons, traveling even faster than when she charged forward. She crashed into obstacles in her path, falling like a meteor into the deep mountains on the horizon! At the cost of the complete destruction of the Titan, Ame finally managed to subdue Princess Kaguya once more!

"Mother lost again?!" The two children stared wide-eyed at the woman exuding the aura of a domineering CEO, speechless. Little did they know, Tian Qing, outwardly relaxed, was inwardly bleeding: "Are you kidding me? Kaguya-hime is actually that strong? After such a fierce exchange, Kaguya-hime was only knocked away, without a single scratch! Meanwhile, the Titan's body has completely collapsed!"

...........

P.S. Second update! Dear readers, please continue to support me in the new year! o(*￣︶￣*)o

Chapter Nineteen: Showing off and running away is so exciting!

Crack! Crack! After blasting Kaguya away once more, the Colossus, its body riddled with cracks, silently shattered into countless tiny fragments, then vanished into thin air, utterly destroyed. Although Amemori knew perfectly well that the Colossus's desperate flurry of punches had only managed to send Kaguya flying, leaving not even a scratch on her body. In other words, despite Amemori's overwhelming advantage and all-out attack, she couldn't even break through Kaguya's physical defenses!

However, in the eyes of the onlookers, Tianqing seemed to be effortlessly overpowering Kaguya with just a giant summoned from the sky, forcing the goddess to flee in disarray. It was as if there was an absolute difference in strength between Tianqing and Kaguya! In an instant, everyone's gaze towards Tianqing changed! The two children, in particular, looked at Tianqing as if he were a ghost, their faces filled with fear!

This powerful image added a lot of credibility to Tianqing's statement. Several envoys were now completely convinced of Tianqing's identity as the "goddess's ex-girlfriend." Even the two children who had initially disbelieved her began to waver, turning from complete disbelief to skepticism. After all, what need would a powerful figure who could so easily overpower Kaguya have to deceive two mere children?

"This is a huge loss! Not only is the Colossus completely destroyed, but we couldn't even get a single piece of flesh or blood from Princess Kaguya! Our plan to use the God Runes to analyze and deduce Princess Kaguya's bloodline has also fallen through!" However, no matter how helpless Tianqing felt, she still had to keep up the act. After all, she had planned to put on a show, and she had to finish it, even if it meant crawling on her knees! That's the basic quality an actor should have! And ninjas are the ultimate actors, masters of all kinds of acting skills and deception!

Whew!! Whew!!

Gusts of fierce wind poured in through the crack in the main hall, the aftershocks of the recent battle. In this biting wind, Tian Qing stood before the two children, her long hair flowing freely, exuding an aura of loneliness and isolation, a sense of mastery that seemed to linger at the top. Her face held a perfectly balanced blend of domineering arrogance and disdain: "No matter the current situation, I am still the head of the family!"

Under the two children's skeptical gazes, Tianqing lowered her voice and said, "I'll tell you a secret. Your mother will seek everyone's chakra in the future and plans to absorb everyone, including you two. That's why I had a falling out with her! So you two must remember what I just said and never tell your mother. When you grow up, you'll be able to verify whether what I said is true or not!"

Seeing the two children's bewildered eyes, Tian Qing casually flicked her wrist, and a tiny needle in her hand quietly touched the two children's bodies, bringing back a small amount of body tissue. Then she leaped out of the main hall and disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Quick! Divine Runes, activate the time travel process immediately!! It'll be too late if we don't run now!!" In a moment when no one could see, Tian Qing shouted urgently in her mind. In the distant horizon, an incomparably terrifying killing intent was rushing towards Tian Qing, carrying a frenzied aura that wanted to destroy everything! Clearly, after being brutally beaten away twice, Princess Kaguya, who always considered herself a god, had completely lost her mind!

"Beep! Time travel program initiated, now resetting time travel!!" With the notification from the main god rune, Tian Qing swiftly vanished into thin air. A few moments later, Kaguya, radiating a terrifying aura, rushed to the scene, letting out an angry roar at the empty sky, the echo lingering in the air for a long time!

........................

Although the audience ceremony had suffered a major mishap, such an important ceremony had to continue. Therefore, Princess Kaguya suppressed her anger and re-entered the main hall. With a casual wave of her hand, the damaged palace was restored to its original state; however, the unfortunate servants who had perished in the aftermath of the battle could not be resurrected. However, because Tianqing had deliberately protected the main hall beforehand, none of the envoys had been injured, so the ceremony would not be affected.

The envoys continued their worship ceremony with solemn expressions, as if nothing had happened. However, beneath the surface, a murmur of unrest rippled through the crowd. They were both intensely curious about the recent "domestic violence incident" and secretly gloating over the future fate of Shintoism, since Ameharu had entered under the guise of Shintoism.

While the Shinto priests were filled with anxiety, the Okuni Shrine Maiden herself stood there numbly. Before leaving, Tensei had used a fine needle to stimulate her brain, physically erasing the memories related to her identity to prevent her from being exposed. This caused her to experience a temporary mental lapse. However, in the eyes of those around her, the Okuni Shrine Maiden was completely disheartened due to excessive despair.

Just as everyone was filled with various thoughts, the worship ceremony finally came to an end. Suddenly, Princess Kaguya stood up from her throne and gestured for the two children beside her to come to her: "Big Dog, Little Dog, now that you've grown up, it's time for me to give you proper names! From today onwards, your names are Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura!"

"So it really is those two names?!" The two children were startled, their expressions changing, but they quickly concealed their surprise and bowed their heads to accept the names bestowed upon them by their mother. Princess Kaguya, still seething with anger and unable to vent her rage, failed to notice her children's unusual behavior. Seeing that the children had no objections, she signaled that the worship ceremony was over and hurriedly left the hall, beginning her search for the audacious girl who had punched her in the face.

Not long after Kaguya left, Hagoromo Otsutsuki raised his head, gritted his teeth, and quickly gathered all the chakra in his body, releasing a genjutsu on everyone in the hall: "Forget everything you just heard about my father! Never mention it to my mother again!"

Although Hagoromo and Hamura are still somewhat skeptical of Ameharu's words, they have ultimately left a thorn in their hearts, causing them to begin to doubt their mother!

PS: This is the first update. I'll be updating the side story later; I plan to finish writing that side story.

An unchanging night

Seeing the aliens who were furious because of the false alarm, Tian Qing wisely didn't go over to invite their wrath. Instead, she quickly retreated and hid in the crowd to watch the spectacle: "What dark forest, what must we do to launch a preemptive attack for survival? In the end, all we got was a bunch of unlucky guys who were completely fooled by special effects movies? What a false alarm!"

Finally, after much persuasion from officials and film directors, the angry aliens were appeased, ending this fabricated Earth crisis. Watching the departing aliens, an older man belonging to the Dragon Group inexplicably remarked, "Those pirated DVD sellers are going to be in trouble now. I bet the government will soon launch a global crackdown on pirated DVDs."

Huh? Tian Qing was dumbfounded. It wasn't because she was surprised that the government blamed the pirated disc vendors for the crisis, but because if this crackdown on pirated discs were to be carried out, Tian Qing, a low-level civil servant, would definitely have to go and help catch the pirated disc vendors as an assistant!

"Um, I remember those combat personnel sent to arrest pirated disc vendors before didn't all end up well, did they?" Tian Qing said quietly.

"Hahahaha! Little girl, you're worrying too much!" The Dragon Group uncle laughed nonchalantly. "That's because the heroes we sent out before were only the lowest-ranking D-class heroes. The truly powerful A-class and S-class heroes haven't even made a move yet! The Dragon Group's strength is far more than that!"

Tian Qing forced a smile, but secretly made up her mind that she must ask someone to find information about some powerful members of the Dragon Group in advance, and then stick close to the thighs of experts in the subsequent operations!

...........

By the time the weather cleared and I finished my day's work and went home, it was already evening.

"I'm exhausted. I didn't find anything today!" Tianqing muttered to herself as she ate her takeout alone in her apartment room. As someone who grew up in an orphanage, this was how she always spent her dinners. There was no one else at home anyway, so ordering takeout was convenient and she didn't have to wash dishes. Why not?

"Don't worry," the portrait on the wall encouraged, "one day you'll hear news of it, after all, your job is the most peculiar job in the world!"

"Exactly!" The full-length mirror on the side of the room chimed in, "Didn't you already encounter many victims like yourself? Although there are still no leads, I believe that with the efforts of so many people, the truth will surely come to light!"

Immediately, everyone in the room started talking at once, encouraging Tian Qing and cheering her on.

Following the end-of-the-century war of 1999, not only did many strange creatures appear on Earth, but it also appeared.

No one knows what it is. But everyone who has seen it, heard its voice, even heard its name, or seen its image has either died on the spot or suffered a mental breakdown! It is thanks to it that Tian Qing has become a listener!

Chapter One: Ten Years Shrouded in Mystery

When Tian Qing opened her eyes again, she was already standing in her old room. Bright sunlight streamed through the window—Konoha's weather was always this good. The furniture in the room was very clean, without a speck of dust. Clearly, even after Tian Qing had been gone for quite some time, the family's servants still insisted on cleaning and tidying the place every day.

"Finally back?" Tian Qing plopped down on the chair next to her, recalling her previous plans in the Naruto world. She wondered how those familiar people were doing now. Originally, Tian Qing wanted to travel back to the time when she left, but unexpectedly, when she entered the River of Time to travel through time, she found that she could no longer freely choose the time to travel to. It was as if a powerful external force had suddenly appeared, completely sealing off the other loopholes in this world that allowed for travel.

Therefore, in the end, Tian Qing could only resign herself to her fate and appear in this era.

"Where did that force that prevented me from traveling through time come from?" Tian Qing pondered, her mind filled with doubt. "To possess the power to influence time, one must be at least a god-level expert! But how could such a person appear in the Naruto world? However, my immediate priority is to quickly determine the exact time!"

Creak! A maid carrying a basin full of water pushed open the door to begin her routine cleaning. Then, she looked at Tian Qing sitting in the room in surprise, her mouth agape: "Miss Tian Qing, you're finally back! Where have you been all these years? The family and the village have sent so many people to look for you everywhere!"

"All these years?!" Tian Qing frowned secretly. Could it be that a considerable amount of time has passed since she left this era?

Then, with a vague sense of foreboding in her heart, Tian Qing quickly instructed, "I haven't been back to the village for a long time. Go and get me a copy of the intelligence that the family has collected over the years!"

"Okay! I'll go right away!" The maid hurriedly put down the basin and ran out in a rush, followed by a commotion of chickens and dogs running around outside.

...............

After a long while, Tian Qing put down the intelligence report in her hand, her face filled with emotion: "Fifteen years! I never imagined that a full fifteen years have passed since I last left this era!"

Over the past fifteen years, Tensei's own family has not experienced any major changes. Although the couple who adopted Tensei have passed away, their bloodline has continued. In addition, with the wealth Tensei left behind and the ninja tool shop, the family has continued to thrive. Although no powerful ninjas have emerged, they are still considered a well-known ninja tool merchant family in Konoha.

But Konoha Village has undergone earth-shattering changes!

About ten years ago, just as the Fourth Hokage and his wife were about to give birth to their first child, a group of mysterious enemies suddenly launched an attack on Konoha. Taking advantage of the fact that the Nine-Tails had broken its seal and Konoha was preoccupied with its own problems, they wreaked havoc in the village.

When the villagers of Konoha finally repelled the enemy, they discovered that the Fourth Hokage and his wife had mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace, only an infant with the Nine-Tails sealed inside its body. Because Jiraiya, Tsunade, and the others who remained in the village were severely injured in the battle against the mysterious enemies and unable to handle affairs, Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped forward to assume the position of Hokage in this crisis of leaderlessness in Konoha, and has ruled as Hokage ever since.

When Tian Qing saw this record in the family, she could hardly believe her eyes: "How is this possible? How could the Fourth Hokage and his wife have disappeared? The Gold Cloth I gave to Minato Namikaze can continuously supply chakra and improve his physical abilities. In addition, there is the Solar Flare technique in the Cloth that can blind any Sharingan. Even if Obito Uchiha suddenly attacks, there shouldn't be any problem!"

Moreover, to avoid this outcome, Tianqing had specifically left special instructions for the Konoha insectoid puppet army and the Hokage's Anbu, to immediately provide reinforcements should anything change. Therefore, Tianqing couldn't understand why Minato and Namikaze had suddenly disappeared. What exactly happened in the past fifteen years, and was it related to the force that prevented them from traveling through time?

Just as Tian Qing was deep in thought, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Upon hearing the news of Tian Qing's return, the head of the family rushed over with a group of people.

"Miss Tianqing, it's been a long time! How have you been all these years?" The current head of the family was a middle-aged man with a beard. Although he looked much older than Tianqing, in terms of seniority, he should call her "Grandma." However, looking at Tianqing's still youthful appearance, he didn't dare to say "Grandma" out loud for fear of being beaten, and could only vaguely address her as "Miss."

Tian Qing blinked, and a memory of a little kid who used to wear open-crotch pants surfaced in her mind: "Oh? I remember you were that little kid called Bangchui back then, right? I remember you used to cry all the time because you didn't have any candy. I can't believe you've grown up so much!"

"Hehe, could you please not bring up that old thing?" The middle-aged man smiled stiffly, but he was speechless. Although he could confirm Tian Qing's identity based on the extremely secretive dark history she mentioned, could you please find a place where no one is around to talk about it?

"Alright, enough with the small talk," Tian Qing got straight to the point. "I don't plan to stay in the family for long this time, so you don't need to worry about it. Whoever was in charge of family affairs before will continue to be in charge. Do you understand what I mean?"
