Konoha: From meeting Kaguya Otsutsuki

Looking from the hillside towards the direction of the sacred tree, there are many things that look like bean pods hanging under the roots of the sacred tree.

At first glance, it was quite shocking.

The three of them looked particularly small in front of this tree.

"I didn't expect there are so many." Yang Xi muttered silently in his heart.

"What is this?" Yuyi and Hamura looked surprised.

"Roll your eyes."

Hamura opened his Byakugan to check, and suddenly his expression changed drastically, and he rushed over.

The three of them jumped into the passage at the bottom of the sacred tree together.

Veins were exposed beside his eyes, and Hamura's expression gradually became solemn.

The ground was densely covered with cocoons that were wrapped in wooden strips into the shape of pillars.

Is it a human?

Hamura wasn't sure, so he took out a knife and tried to cut open one of the cocoons.

"What's wrong?" Yuyi asked when she saw him doing this.

"Brother, bring the cocoon here quickly."

Yuyi raised his hand, and several wind blades swung out from his hand, breaking the wrapped wooden strips, revealing a strange man with his eyes closed.

The clothes this person wore were similar to those of other villagers.

Both of them were in disbelief and opened more "cocoons".

As more and more people's bodies appeared before their eyes, they also saw many familiar people. Their mood became increasingly heavy, and their grief and anger were beyond words.

"They are already dead." Hamura said with mixed emotions.

"Is this the truth about the sacred tree and the fate of those who worshipped it?" Yuyi turned around and looked at Yang Xi, whose expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

Chapter 224 Conversation

Yui clenched his fists, looking angry.

He suddenly felt that his father was as cold and indifferent as his mother.

Yes, if they were not people with the same personality, how could they get together?

He suddenly felt extremely depressed.

Yang Xi kept staring into Yuyi's eyes.

Although she was very excited, there was no change in Yuyi's eyes, and there was no sign of her opening her eyes.

He felt slightly relieved, thinking that no matter how excited this kid was, those people were still not as important to him as they were.

"Father, do you know everything?" Yuyi spoke even louder.

"I know." Yang Xi nodded calmly.

"Then why didn't you stop it?" Yuyi shouted.

Compared to him, Yuyi seemed much calmer.

Admittedly, he was also very angry in his heart, but what should he do now? Kill Yang Xi?

Obviously, that's impossible.

Faced with Yang Xi's silence, Yuyi impulsively walked forward, grabbed his clothes, hesitated to speak, and met his eyes.

Just as Yuyi was about to take action, Yucun suddenly spoke up, "Father, what did you mean by those words you said before? Mother, what is she afraid of?"

Hearing this, it seemed as if some hope rose in an instant. Yuyi let go and temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his heart.

Let's just listen to what they have to say.

"You want to know?" Yang Xi looked at the two of them, "Even if I really told you, can you understand? With your current strength, can you bear such a thing?"

"Hagoromo, Hamura, your perceptions have been influenced by others. When I tell you another explanation..."

Before he could finish his words, Hagoromo and Hamura looked at each other.

Yuyi took a deep breath and interrupted in a heavy tone: "Father, we have the right to know."

"Okay, let's go out and talk."

Yang Xi took the two of them away from the place where the sacred tree was and walked into a small forest.

Suddenly, Yang Xi, who was walking in front with his back to the two of them, stopped and slapped in the direction of Yu Yi.

"Brother, be careful." Hamura exclaimed without closing his eyes.

Before he could finish his words, Yuyi rolled outwards and barely avoided the attack in a rather embarrassing way. What he heard next to his ears was a sharp explosion.

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud rumbling sound, the ground shook briefly, and a cloud of turbid dust rose.

Turning around, he saw a large number of trees behind him breaking and falling to the ground. Yuyi's face was full of disbelief.

"I didn't see anything..."

"Father, what are you going to do?"

Hamura quickly stood in front of Yuyi, with a look of vigilance on his face, and stared at him closely with his Byakugan, paying attention to the flow of chakra in his body.

"Don't be nervous, let me test your level." Yang Xi hooked his fingers at the two of them.

Not sensing any murderous intent, the two men breathed a sigh of relief but were also a little hesitant and did not take action.

"The weak are not qualified to propose anything. They can only die in ignorance like those worshippers." Yang Xi said lightly.

After saying that, a mass of black substance suddenly appeared in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a long black stick.

He has become adept at using Yin-Yang Escape to create simple weapons.

He lowered his head and his expression changed for a moment, then Yui stood up, pushed Hamura aside, and fought side by side with him.

"Hamura, come on."

After saying this, the two of them rushed forward at the same time.

In terms of the attack methods of these two people, Hagoromo is relatively versatile, mastering both taijutsu and "ninjutsu", while Hamura specializes in taijutsu.

Moreover, after Yang Xi's instruction, they also learned some techniques such as shadow clone, which allowed them to attack from all sides.

But all to no avail.

They sadly discovered that they couldn't touch Yang Xi at all through physical training.

The ninjutsu that Hagoromo often used could not cause any harm to him, and even the ninjutsu they used would be returned to them, leaving them in a state of panic.

They were panting, but Yang Xi was spotless and very calm, and he didn't even activate the Samsara Eye Chakra mode.

"Okay, stop."

Yang Xi kicked the two men away one after another, silently evaluating their strength in his heart.

There are too few people in the entire continent who are capable of training with them. In addition, Yang Xi and Kaguya do not have the time to supervise their practice every day, resulting in the two of them lacking practical experience. Now, they can only barely display the strength of a Jonin.

After this incident, Yui and Hamura were exhausted, their emotions became stable, and they felt much calmer.

The two of them sat quietly on a big rock, listening to Yang Xi's story.

"In fact, your mother is not a native of this world."

"Beyond this planet, there are other planets and other races."

"She is from the Otsutsuki clan, and the sacred tree was planted by the Otsutsuki clan..."

"She chose to leave, but the Otsutsuki clan will find this planet sooner or later. Kaguya lives in this anxiety."

"Although it's cruel, what Kaguya is doing now is actually to accumulate strength to deal with future crises."

"How powerful is the Otsutsuki clan..." asked Hagoromo.

He thought hard about how to help his mother if all this was true.

How can we stop her from worshipping the sacred tree...

Yang Xi shook his head, "I don't know, they should be stronger than me. You must at least have my or Kaguya's eyes to have a chance to compete with them."

Yui and Hamura fell into deep thought, as a cool breeze blew by, and the sweat on their bodies slowly began to dry.

None of the people spoke, and they were all silent. A few hours passed, and Yui took Yang Xi to wait for Gamamaru to appear.

Hamura hesitated for a while and decided to go back and talk to Kaguya.

The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing gently, and Kaguya was standing in the corridor, staring silently into the distance.

Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head slightly, and then looked away.

Hamura lowered his head and knelt on one knee, "Mother, please stop offering sacrifices to the sacred tree."

“That won’t do.” Kaguya said coldly without even turning her head.

"but……"

"Even if you are my child, you cannot disobey my orders." Kaguya continued.

"Mother, if we can think of other ways to help you, can we spare the lives of those innocent people?"

"Hmm?" Kaguya turned around, frowning slightly, "You guys?"

"Mother, my brother and I already know all the truth and the enemies you are afraid of. We are willing to fight against foreign enemies with you. Please trust us and let those ordinary people go." Yucun said frankly.

Kaguya was silent for a long time, then she spoke again: "Who told you?"

"It's Father."

"He..." Kaguya whispered to herself with a complicated expression, "Where is Yui now?"

"He is with father now."

After saying that, Hamura stopped talking and waited for Kaguya's response.

There was no sound for a long time.

He couldn't help but look up. Kaguya was still standing there, with a trace of worry between her brows. "Will they come back?"

Chapter 225 Myoboku Mountain

"Gamamaru, come out quickly." Yui shouted towards the lake where Gamamaru had appeared.

There was an echo in the forest.

Yang Xi stood beside him.

After a while, there was a splash on the water and a small orange toad jumped onto the stone in the middle of the lake.

After glancing at the two of them, Gamamaru looked at Hagoromo and spoke slowly, "It seems that you have been to the other side of the mountain."

Yui nodded.

Yang Xi had a blank expression on his face. Was he being ignored?

At this time, Yuyi seemed to remember his existence and introduced him to Gamamaru: "Gamamaru, the truth is what our father led us to know."

"Nice to meet you. No... I don't know how many times you have seen me..." Yang Xi said with a smile.

Toad Pill narrowed his eyes and did not answer the question. After a while, he said, "You guys follow me."

He leaped into the water.

"Father, let's go." Yuyi hesitated for a moment and jumped down.

Yang Xi frowned slightly and then stepped into the water.

My body sank quickly and I saw the light again. The environment in front of me was completely different from before.

He was thoughtful. The lake just now was not connected to any other body of water, but a space channel like the one from the earth to the moon.

It is a space formation of the same type.

"It seems that Hamura's inspiration came from here, or maybe it was the work of the Toad Clan."

He retracted his gaze and looked at the surrounding environment.
