From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

The former resembles a god, while the latter resembles a demon.

According to Sasuke's calculations, the reason why the two versions of Momoshiki's fighting form have this difference is because of their bloodline origins. One is mainly based on the Otsutsuki bloodline, which is the version in TV episode 65, and the other is mainly based on the Ten-Tails bloodline, which is the movie version.

Sasuke came to this conclusion because Momoshiki in episode 65 of the TV series displayed many taijutsu similar to the Gentle Fist of the Hyuga clan during the battle. Of course, there were also moves similar to Wing Chun and Baguazhang, traditional Chinese martial arts from his previous life, with a combat style that leaned towards close-quarters combat.

However, the martial arts skills and fighting techniques of the Momoshiki in the theatrical version are very weak. He relies more on brute force and uses "techniques" to launch attacks across the entire map.

Sasuke himself wasn't sure which form of Momoshiki Otsutsuki would arrive six months from now in this world, so he simply described the fighting styles of both forms of Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

Furthermore, Sasuke had a vague premonition that if Momoshiki Otsutsuki in this world was the version from TV episode 65, then Momoshiki Otsutsuki in his world twenty years into the future would be the theatrical version, and vice versa.

"I see...."

Upon hearing this, the young man Erzhu remained silent for a while before nodding.

"No, I don't think you understand!"

Young Sasuke glanced at the empty left sleeve of the young Hashirama and said in a deep voice:

"You should get injected with primary cells!"

Chapter 264 Princess or Clan Chief? Speculation about the Otsutsuki.

Injecting primary cells!?

Upon hearing this, a strange fluctuation flashed in the eyes of the young man Erzhu. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "I have already injected the first-generation cells, so I don't need to inject them again."

Young Hashirama was telling the truth. Over a decade ago, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was instantly killed by Madara Uchiha, and later, after being poisoned by Izanami, Kabuto Yakushi, having regained his true self, arrived at the scene. (This is commonly known as "whitewashing.")

Furthermore, he used the cells of the First Hokage, Hashirama, to revive the dying young Hashirama. The young Hashirama survived thanks to the First Hokage's cells and was able to awaken the Rinnegan.

Logically speaking, even if the Sage of Six Paths didn't give him the power of the Six Paths Yin later, as long as he was properly nurtured like Madara Uchiha.

In the future, everyone will be able to awaken their own Rinnegan; the Sage of Six Paths simply accelerated this process.

“You don’t need to make excuses. I myself have been injected with the first generation of cells, and I have done extensive research on them. Yet, I cannot sense even a trace of them in your body. Perhaps you did inject the first generation of cells as you say, but you did not utilize them or fuse with them, or even destroyed or expelled them from your body.”

Sasuke shook his head and said directly.

"Otherwise, even if you didn't awaken the second Rinnegan, the First Hokage's cells' super-strong cell regeneration ability could have completely repaired your severed hand, and you wouldn't be unable to freely control the switch of your Rinnegan with tomoe like you are now."

The current young Hashirama has awakened the Rinnegan, which is said to be the unity of Yin and Yang and possesses the power of all things in the universe. Moreover, it is the six-tomoe Rinnegan, which is the superposition of the power of two ordinary Rinnegan.

However, his current chakra attribute still lacks Yang power, or rather, his Yang power is far below the standard compared to other attributes. It is unknown whether this situation was intentionally done by the Sage of Six Paths or whether the young two pillars were willing to do so.

In short, this situation not only prevented the young Hashirama from freely closing the Rinnegan with six tomoe, but also placed a great burden on his body with this eye.

To put it bluntly, while the current young two Pillars are strong in terms of output, their endurance is poor, making them prone to exhaustion. The art style is gradually shifting towards the chakra-based Kakashi Hatake.

Moreover, this trend will become more and more obvious as the young man's body functions gradually decline with age.

Right now, it's just that the battery life is poor. In another ten or twenty years, it might even cause people to vomit blood after using just one or two eye techniques, like Nagato Uzumaki.

"..."

Upon hearing this, the young man Erzhu remained silent, his empty sleeve fluttering incessantly in the wind as he sped along.

After the Fourth Shinobi World War, the young Hashirama worried that losing the Akatsuki organization and common enemies like Madara Uchiha and Kaguya Otsutsuki would plunge all nations back into war.

Therefore, he decided to become the enemy of the ninja world himself and to ban ninjutsu to prevent its power from being abused.

In some ways, his actions were no different from those of the second Kaguya Otsutsuki.

He lost this arm in the battle with Naruto. After that battle, he realized his mistake and gave up the idea of ​​becoming a second god to oversee the ninja world.

It's not that young Sasuke couldn't grow an arm; rather, he actively refused to fuse with the First Hokage's cells. Every time he saw that arm, he would think of his battle with Naruto and his responsibility to protect the people he loved.

This is also a warning to myself, a limitation I impose on myself.

He was worried!

He wasn't worried about others, but about himself!

After a moment of silence, the young man Erzhu spoke, "There's no need. This is my path to atonement. This severed hand can serve as a reminder..."

Are you worried? Or are you afraid?

Sasuke scoffed, interrupting him.

"Are you afraid that after you inject the First Hokage's cells, recover to your full state, and even awaken your second Rinnegan, you will have that same thought again? Are you afraid that at that time, with both Rinnegan and the Sage of Six Paths body, no one will be able to stop you?"

"Humph!"

The young man, Erzhu, snorted coldly and said, "Since you know this, why did you try to persuade me to inject the first-generation cells again?"

The young Sasuke wasn't too surprised that the boy in front of him could see through his deep-seated concerns at a glance.

Although he would never admit that this annoying guy was much like him, he had to admit that this guy was quite understanding of him.

"To some extent, your concerns are not unfounded, but don't forget about them!"

Sasuke shook his head, pointed to the sky, and said calmly, "You should know that the threat to the ninja world is far more than just Kaguya Otsutsuki. I heard Naruto Uzumaki tell me before that during the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Sage of Six Paths told you that Kaguya Otsutsuki was the head of the Otsutsuki clan, and later Black Zetsu mentioned that Kaguya Otsutsuki was the princess of the Otsutsuki clan."

"So, is it the clan leader or the princess? Why is there such a discrepancy? Whose story is true?"

Upon hearing this, the young man Erzhu frowned. This was something that had puzzled him for years. After pondering for a while, he said, "Since you've asked this question, I suppose you already have a reasonable guess in your mind, right?"

In just two short days, the young Erzhu has gained a deep understanding of this guy's wisdom and keen insight.

In terms of being far-sighted, this guy is quite similar to me, showing some of the flair I had in my youth.

"Actually, we can understand it this way: perhaps what they both said is the truth. Kaguya Otsutsuki is the head of the Otsutsuki clan, which means she is an Otsutsuki on Earth, namely Hagoromo Otsutsuki, Indra, Ashura, and the others."

"The so-called princess of the Otsutsuki clan is very likely to refer to the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens, namely Otsutsuki Momoshi and Otsutsuki Kinshi."

Young Master Erzhu's expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You mean that the Otsutsuki clan from beyond the heavens is far more than just Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinji who arrived in the ninja world six months later?"

Since they are a clan, there can't be just a few people; there must be at least a hundred people to be called a clan.

Since she is a princess, it means that there is a king, the king of the Otsutsuki clan!

Thinking of this, a huge wave surged in the heart of the young man Erzhu, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

In the fragments of the future that young Sasuke saw, Momoshiki Otsutsuki required him and Naruto to join forces to suppress him, and even then, victory was not without an element of luck.

What about two? Three? Or even hundreds?

Moreover, there is a king of the so-called Otsutsuki clan, whose status is even higher.

Young Erzhu clenched his fist, feeling somewhat powerless. He took a deep breath and asked, "Since Kaguya Otsutsuki is the princess of the Otsutsuki clan, why is she still wary and afraid of Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinji Otsutsuki? According to your calculations, her status should be higher than theirs."

"That's what I find strange."

Young Sasuke was also somewhat puzzled. After pondering for a while, he said, "In the future fragments I saw, the two of them referred to Kaguya as Princess Kaguya, which confirms her status as a princess."

Upon hearing this, the young man Erzhu nodded.

"Ji" is an honorific title, referring to a woman of noble status, specifically a princess. Only women of royal lineage or daughters of powerful lords could be addressed in this way.

"However, judging from their tone, they didn't seem to respect Kaguya Otsutsuki much. It's quite interesting that they didn't respect her despite her status as a princess. Now that you mention this, you should remember something, right?"

The young man Erzhu's expression changed, as if he remembered something. He then slowly uttered a few words with difficulty: "嫡庶 (legitimate and illegitimate children), 宗家 (main family), 分家 (branch family)!"

"You mean, Kaguya Otsutsuki is a concubine's princess, a princess of the Otsutsuki branch family!"

"Yes! That's my guess."

Young Sasuke nodded and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps the Otsutsuki clan is like the Hyuga clan, divided into the main family and the branch family. Although Kaguya Otsutsuki is a princess, in terms of status, any member of the main Otsutsuki clan is higher than her."

At this point, young Sasuke couldn't help but recall another member of the Otsutsuki clan who descended with Kaguya Otsutsuki a thousand years ago.

Based on Sasuke's deduction, Kaguya Otsutsuki was likely a subordinate of another Otsutsuki clan member.

However, Kaguya Otsutsuki's status as a princess was special. Although she was nominally a subordinate, it's likely that the other Otsutsuki wouldn't dare to order her around much.

Just like Neji Hyuga in the past, he constantly clamored for revenge against the main family, and even seriously injured the main family's eldest daughter in front of everyone.

But no one from the main family dared to punish him, even though in name every member of the main family was of higher status than him.

Ultimately, he was the son of the head of the branch family, the nephew of Hyuga Hiashi, and the grandson of the previous head of the main family.

His special status was such that ordinary members of the main family dared not punish him; only the head of the family could do it.

If, as he speculated, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was indeed a princess from a branch family of the Ōtsutsuki clan...

Sasuke seemed to understand why Kaguya Otsutsuki had secretly taken the fruit of the God Tree's chakra.

Perhaps her past experiences are somewhat similar to those of Hyuga Neji.

So, it's very likely that the other Otsutsuki clan member who arrived with Kaguya a thousand years ago is already dead, killed by Kaguya herself who wanted to rebel against the main Otsutsuki family.

"..."

Young Sasuke took a deep breath. The information contained in the few words of young Sasuke was very heavy and terrifying.

Having only been in this world for a short time, I've already deduced so much from such a small amount of information.

This wisdom is truly worthy of my younger self!

"So, this is why you want me to inject the first-generation cells?"

"Ok!"

Sasuke nodded and said, "The current ninja world is like a secluded and incredibly weak village. Kaguya Otsutsuki is like a ninja from Kumogakure who came to that village on a mission. Due to various coincidences, she was imprisoned there. Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinji Otsutsuki are like the advance team that came to search for her. Moreover, we don't even know what level their strength is within the Otsutsuki clan."

"Jonin? Chunin? Or even just Genin? We don't know any of this. All we know is that they possess power far greater than the people of this ninja world. They are beings who can treat planets as fields and pastures to harvest."

"While you are still hesitant and timid, worried that your power is too great and no one can stop your ambition, there are many powerful figures from beyond the heavens, such as Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kaguya Otsutsuki, who are eyeing this world with covetous intent."

Young Sasuke pointed to the sky and said calmly, "So what if you defeat Momoshiki and Kinjiki in six months? For example, if three members of the Uchiha clan disappear from a village in a row and their whereabouts are unknown, how many people will the Uchiha clan send next? Ten? A hundred? Or even a thousand?"

"Don't forget, the Otsutsuki clan has a lifespan of several thousand years and can traverse the void universe. I think their numbers are not just a few hundred or a thousand like the powerful clans in the ninja world. They may have hundreds of thousands, or even more. So the next expedition might be a thousand or ten thousand strong."

"Moreover, it's hard to say how many of them are elite soldiers stronger than Kaguya Otsutsuki."

Upon hearing this, the young man Erzhu was shaken, and the more he thought about it, the more horrified and desperate he became!

He gave the young Sasuke a deep look and said in a deep voice, "So that's why you asked Naruto to find Otsutsuki Toneri."

"Ok!"

Sasuke nodded and said, "Only by learning from and understanding our enemies can we possibly defeat them. Since the Otsutsuki clan possesses power far greater than ours, why don't we research their power and learn from it?"

In his past life, Sasuke clearly remembered a sentence: since the Portuguese navy opened up new sea routes to the East at the end of the 15th century, Western invaders could occupy a country for hundreds of years simply by setting up a few cannons on an eastern coast.

why?
