People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

Hamura Otsutsuki's figure gradually disappeared from Yosuke and Toneri Otsutsuki's sight.

Otsutsuki Toneri sat there in a daze for a long time, while Yosuke waited beside him.

Suddenly, Otsutsuki Toneri stood up from the ground.

"The attendant..."

"You don't need to worry anymore. The moon will never get close to Earth again, never."

Otsutsuki Toneri swayed as he walked away into the distance.

“Come back to Earth with me, Toneri.” Yosuke extended an invitation to Toneri.

Otsutsuki Toneri turned and glanced at Yosuke, then shook his head and said, "I'm actually just like any other human. I always like to find many reasons to explain my mistakes and try to deceive myself to continue because I'm afraid and scared inside, so I choose to escape the crimes I've committed. But the truth is, one day I will have to face the crimes I've committed in order to redeem my soul."

Yosuke understood what Ōtsutsuki Toneri meant: "Do you want to atone for your sins on the moon?"

"Atonement is one thing, but secondly I need to stay on the moon and watch over that existence."

The Otsutsuki clan originally lived on the moon to guard the body of the Ten-Tails, the Gedo Mazo.

However, the Gedo Mazo had already been summoned from the moon to Earth by Madara Uchiha.

Otsutsuki Toneri recalled the incantations that had appeared on the surface of the moon, and his guess about the sealed being, Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Otsutsuki Toneri did not tell Yosuke about the existence of Otsutsuki Kaguya on the moon, because he was worried that Yosuke would be distracted. The crisis on Earth had not yet been resolved, and Yosuke and his companions needed to prioritize dealing with matters on Earth.

Furthermore, Otsutsuki Toneri felt that Otsutsuki Kaguya's seal was very secure, so there was no need to tell Yosuke.

Otsutsuki Toneri looked at Yosuke and said, "I hope you can resolve the crisis on Earth and restore peace to the ninja world. If you cannot do so, I might reconsider my idea of ​​destroying the world."

Otsutsuki Toneri turned and left. Before leaving, with his back to Yosuke, he said one last thing: "If there is anything you need my help with in the future, I will come down to Earth."

Otsutsuki Toneri's figure gradually receded into the distance until it disappeared.

After watching Otsutsuki Toneri leave, Yosuke sighed deeply, feeling sorrow for Otsutsuki Toneri's previous life.

A false destiny destroyed an entire clan.

The only bloodline, yet still giving everything for that false destiny, only to be met with disappointment in the end.

With the dust settled, Yosuke found Neji, whom he had previously settled in.

Neji was in a panic because he had lost his sight.

"Is that Lord Yosuke?"

"it's me."

Neji gripped Yosuke's sleeve tightly and said anxiously, "Lord Yosuke, I can't see anything anymore, I can't see anything at all."

Yosuke examined Neji's eyes and comforted him, "It's alright, Neji. Your eyes are nurturing new power. Your Byakugan is evolving to a higher level. Blindness is only temporary. Once the Byakugan evolves into the Tenseigan, you will naturally be able to see again, and you will also gain even greater power."

Hearing Yosuke's words of comfort, Neji gradually calmed down.

"Lord Yosuke, is the battle over?"

Yosuke nodded and said, "It's over. Otsutsuki Toneri and Earth have reconciled and no longer want to destroy Earth. We should go back now."

Yosuke, carrying Neji on his back, returned to Earth once again through the passage connecting the moon and the earth.

however.

Neither Yosuke nor Otsutsuki Toneri noticed.

A small, special chakra is drifting towards Earth.

This chakra is the chakra of Kaguya Otsutsuki, sealed within the moon.

Because of the battle between Yosuke and Toneri Otsutsuki, two beings with Six Paths-level destructive power, the moon is in grave danger.

The entire moon exists because of the sealing of Kaguya Otsutsuki; in other words, the moon is the seal itself.

Therefore, the existence of the seal is what prevents the moon from being destroyed by the battle between Yosuke and Toneri Otsutsuki.

However, this inevitably weakens the effectiveness of the seal.

While the seal maintained the moon, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki released a small amount of chakra from the seal.

To avoid being discovered by Yosuke or Toneri, he remained hidden in the shadows.

They waited until Yosuke and Toneri Otsutsuki left before leaving the moon.

...

Meanwhile, Yosuke and Neji, having returned to Earth, rushed back to Kagerou Village as soon as possible.

However, Yosuke did not expect that the Five Kage would also gather in Kagerou Village.

Seeing Yosuke return unharmed, everyone's expressions were complicated.

Yang Jie, unaware of their thoughts, asked in confusion, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Onoki said with a conflicted expression, "Yosuke, we saw what happened to you in the battle on the moon."

Itachi explained the whole story to Yosuke.

Yosuke suddenly realized that the battle on the moon was so intense, and given that the moon was initially approaching Earth, it was only natural that it would be discovered.

Yosuke noticed the wary looks in everyone's eyes, especially from the Kazekage Maki and the Raikage A, who were practically hostile.

Yosuke understood what they were afraid of.

It's simply because the power he's gained is too great, and he's worried that he might make the same choice as Madara Uchiha.

Yang Jie didn't offer an explanation, and even if he did, it wouldn't necessarily lower his guard against him.

Moreover, by being vigilant, they can cooperate more closely.

Chapter 364 Kaguya and Black Zetsu

In a cave on an island in the ninja world.

The cave, which should have been pitch black, was brightly lit by the flames.

This is Madara Uchiha's Uchiha Fire Formation.

By releasing the fire-attribute chakra from the five fingers, this technique can summon flames buried underground to surround the target being protected, known as flames from hell.

The target of their protection was Uchiha Madara.

Ever since being ambushed by Obito, Madara Uchiha has been repairing the Dragon Vein seal in his body.

Because the power of the dragon vein is too immense, even if the seal is slightly breached, it must be repaired with great care.

Otherwise, if the seal fails even slightly, Madara Uchiha will be instantly burst apart by the power of the dragon veins in his body.

That's why Madara Uchiha chose this deserted island and carefully used the Uchiha Fire Formation to ensure no one would disturb him while he repaired the seal.

Black Zetsu was dispatched by Madara Uchiha to guard the deserted island and prevent anyone from approaching and disturbing him.

At this moment, Black Zetsu's eyes were glazed over, his face filled with disbelief.

"Mother...have you broken the seal?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra successfully traveled from the moon to Earth and found Black Zetsu.

Kaguya Otsutsuki's cool and majestic voice appeared in Black Zetsu's mind.

"The seal was not broken, but because two Six Paths level beings were fighting on the moon, the seal weakened, which allowed me to release a wisp of chakra from it."

"What? Two Six Paths Level experts?"

His dark face was filled with shock.

Logically speaking, the only person in the entire ninja world who has truly reached the Six Paths level is Madara Uchiha, who is currently repairing the seal. Without the power of the Dragon Vein, Madara Uchiha would not be at the Six Paths level.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki's claim that there were two Six Paths level beings fighting on the moon was hardly surprising to Black.

"Mother, do you know who they are?"

“I did hear their names. One was Ubuyashiki Yosuke, and the other was Hamura’s descendant, Otsutsuki Toneri.”

Black Zetsu's face immediately darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "It's Ubuyashiki Yosuke again! Why is that guy so persistent?!"

"What's wrong?"

Black Zetsu explained to Kaguya Otsutsuki, "Mother, it is because of Yosuke Ubuyashiki that my plans have been thwarted time and time again. If it weren't for him, I would have freed you from the seal long ago."

Black Zetsu told Kaguya Otsutsuki everything that had happened during this time.

"I didn't expect that he also came to this planet from another world. Could it be that he also has his eye on this planet and wants to use it as his nursery?"

Black Zetsu shook his head and said, "No, although Yosuke Ubuyashiki came from another world, his goal is to capture someone who escaped from his world to this world."

Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't ask Yosuke any further questions, but instead inquired, "Black Zetsu, how is your plan going?"

"Mother, now we only need eight more to revive the Ten-Tails. Once the Ten-Tails is revived, Madara Uchiha will become the Ten-Tails' jinchūriki as a sacrifice to revive you. Then you can return to this ninja world."

Using Black Zetsu's body, Kaguya Otsutsuki saw Madara Uchiha repairing the seal and said with satisfaction, "The offering is quite good, and it seems to be a descendant of Hagoromo."

Black Zetsu proudly stated, "Uchiha Madara is the eldest son of Otsutsuki Hagoromo and a descendant of Indra. I orchestrated the battle between Uchiha Madara and Otsutsuki Hagoromo's second son, the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, making Uchiha Madara a pawn in the process of resurrecting you, Mother."

“Well done, but Black Zetsu, the plan needs to be expedited. I sensed Hagoromo and Hamura’s chakra on the moon. They are definitely plotting to stop me from descending into the ninja world. I don’t want to wait any longer.”

Black Zetsu was furious: "Mother, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura are clearly your children, yet they cruelly sealed you away with their own hands. When you are resurrected, you must punish them severely."

“They are, after all, my children. Although I am disappointed in them, how could I, as their mother, blame them?”

Blackie said with dissatisfaction, "Mother, they are not your children. They were just twins born under the blessings and prayers of the foolish people. Only I am your child."

"Alright, Black Zetsu, let's talk about everything after I'm resurrected. For now, this wisp of my chakra will temporarily attach itself to you. Right now, besides Madara Uchiha, there are two other Six Paths level beings. I'm worried that your plans might encounter unexpected situations. If anything unexpected happens, awaken this wisp of chakra, and it will help you."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's voice gradually faded until it disappeared.

Black Zetsu was indignant, unable to understand why Kaguya would forgive Hagoromo and Hamura, who had sealed her away and were even hindering his efforts to revive her.

Kaguya Otsutsuki was an ascetic. Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki were born through the combination of Kaguya Otsutsuki's chakra and the power of the Divine Tree, thanks to the blessings and prayers of the ignorant masses.

Black Zetsu was created by Kaguya Otsutsuki herself.

In terms of blood relation, Black Zetsu is the closest to Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Black Zetsu muttered resentfully to himself, "Mother, I will show you who your child is!"

Just as Black Zetsu made up his mind to make Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura pay the price, the Uchiha Fire Formation inside the cave suddenly disappeared.
