Worried that something might happen to the place where these Kage and the village leaders lived—mainly worried that they would fight—Senju Hashirama and Senju Tobirama's shadow clones and wood clones were all here keeping an eye on things.
Furthermore, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the three legendary Sannin of Konoha took turns staying in Konoha, which prevented any trouble from happening during the period when the leaders of various ninja villages gathered in Konoha.
However, there is also an interesting thing.
When the third Hoshikage of Hoshinin Village appeared, everyone was very unhappy that he dared to call himself a Kage.
But this Third Hokage is already over a hundred years old. Hashirama Senju also said that the title "Kage" was inspired by the Hidden Star Village.
Okay, so they're the original creators, and we're just copying!
Therefore, everyone generally accepted that, apart from the Five Great Nations, the leader of the Hidden Star Village could also be called a "Kage".
After all, he lived to be over a hundred years old, which is remarkable in itself!
……
After catching up with Jiraiya, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan arrived at the Uchiha clan's territory.
They initially looked rather arrogant towards the three Rain Ninjas and the two clan guards.
Yahiko gave the two a gentle smile and spoke.
"Brothers, we are old acquaintances of Lord Uchiha Madara from the Land of Rain. Please help us announce our arrival."
Upon hearing that the three were actually looking for Uchiha Madara, and that they were old acquaintances of his, the two Uchiha did not dare to be negligent and quickly spoke up.
"Are you here to see Lord Madara? Please wait a moment."
A few days ago, after Fugaku Uchiha returned, he took the other elders of the Uchiha clan to visit Xia Zhi.
Before Xia Zhi, they deeply reflected on their clan's previous betrayal of Uchiha Madara and removed clan members like Uchiha Ye from their positions as elders who had opposed Uchiha Madara at the time.
They repeatedly requested that Xia Zhi return to the Uchiha clan and assume the position of clan leader.
But Xia Zhi ultimately refused.
Amidst the disappointed expressions of the group of Uchiha, he spoke up to offer a reminder.
"After the ninja world is merged into a nation and then into a district, I will assume the position of the first president of the alliance nation, Hashirama will become the vice president, and Tobirama will continue to serve as the Hokage. He will not have time to manage the Uchiha clan."
"After the Ninja World Tournament, the Uchiha clan can be divided into five parts. One part will remain in Konoha, and the other four parts will settle in the other four major regions."
Hearing Xia Zhi say this, it means that she has no intention of giving up on the Uchiha clan.
However, he also put forward his own conditions.
If you want me to protect the family again, that's fine, but the family also needs to follow my arrangements and act according to my will.
His first order was to disperse his family and respond to the mandate of the Allied Powers.
This is a matter of great importance. The Uchiha clan has never been separated for so many years; the clan members have always lived together.
The Uchiha clan head, Fugaku, and the elders instinctively wanted to go back and discuss it. However, Uchiha Ye remained clear-headed.
He knew that if he retreated, Madara Uchiha wouldn't give them another chance.
"Lord Madara, I agree!"
Uchiha Ye bowed deeply to Xia Zhi.
"After the Ninja World Tournament, I will lead my clan to settle in the Land of Wind."
Of the five great nations, the Land of Wind has the worst environment, covered in sand and dust, and is also the poorest.
But Uchiha Ye also knew that Uchiha Madara disliked him. Rather than staying in Konoha, it would be better to follow Madara's advice and stay far away, which would also improve his image.
Once the first person agreed, the other Uchiha were immediately put in a difficult position.
If they disagree, wouldn't Madara Uchiha obviously favor Uchiha Ye's faction and ignore them?
Therefore, the other Uchiha had no choice but to agree, and at the same time, they transferred their anger and confusion about Uchiha Madara's order to separate to Uchiha Ye, who readily agreed, instead of Uchiha Madara.
This tactic is called divide and conquer.
These past few days, Xia Zhi has been staying within the clan, assisting them in selecting clan members.
Ultimately, Fugaku's branch remained in Konoha, Ye's branch went to the Land of Wind, Shisui's branch went to the Land of Lightning, and the other two elders of the Uchiha clan went to the Land of Water and the Land of Earth, thus separating the Uchiha clan's combination of one clan leader and four elders.
As Yahiko and his two companions entered the Uchiha clan compound, Natsumi was communicating with the Six Paths Natsumi.
Being stationed in the Underworld was incredibly boring. So, Rokudo Natsuji slipped away from the Underworld and went to play on the moon.
As the moon that suppresses Kaguya Otsutsuki, it not only contains descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki, but also a giant Tenseigan.
Xia Zhi suspected that the core of this Tenseigan, which was formed from the Byakugan of countless Otsutsuki branch families, was actually the eye of Otsutsuki Hamura.
Even the soul of Ōtsutsuki Hamura is contained within it.
Otherwise, if the Sage of Six Paths survived by mixing his soul with chakra, there's no reason why his younger brother, Hamura Otsutsuki, who was also a Six Paths level cultivator, couldn't do the same.
So after arriving on the moon, Xia Zhi disguised herself as the Sage of Six Paths and called upon the Tenseigan.
As expected! Soon, Otsutsuki Hamura's soul emerged from the Tenseigan.
"Brother, are you looking for me?"
"How is Mother's seal doing?"
As Xia Zhi asked, she reached out and touched Otsutsuki Hamura's shoulder.
Hamura Otsutsuki did not try to avoid it, thinking it was just a normal exchange between brothers.
"The seal is stable, there haven't been any problems. Brother, Black Zetsu—wait! What is this?!"
Hamura Otsutsuki also wanted to ask about the situation of Black Zetsu, which his mother created before she was sealed away—it has been more than a thousand years, why does Black Zetsu always fail?
Of course, it's because his actions have always been under the watchful eye of his "good older brother," Hagoromo Otsutsuki!
A full thousand years have passed. Hagoromo and Hamura want to release their mother to see if she has changed her views on humanity after being sealed away for a thousand years and no longer wants to destroy humanity.
Even if Naruto and Sasuke fail to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, Hagoromo Otsutsuki will join forces with Hamura Otsutsuki to return their mother to the seal once again.
Chapter 368 Devouring Kaguya Otsutsuki
After Xia Zhi pressed his right hand down on Otsutsuki Hamura, half of his right arm turned into black mud and stuck to Otsutsuki Hamura's body.
Black mud gushed out from Xia Zhi's elbows like a faucet, quickly covering Otsutsuki Hamura's body.
"Ahhh!!!"
Under the corrupting influence of humanity's inherent evil, Hamura Otsutsuki's mind was filled with insane ramblings.
"Kill, kill, kill, kill!"
"Die, die, die!"
Because Hamura Otsutsuki's soul is connected to the giant Tenseigan. When his condition deteriorates, the Tenseigan also vibrates wildly, releasing astonishing amounts of chakra.
In order to quickly devour Otsutsuki Hamura and prevent the Tenseigan from going berserk and splitting the moon, Xia Zhi dissolved on the spot, turning into a filthy black mud, and pounced on Otsutsuki Hamura to envelop him.
The black mud clump seemed to writhe as if it were alive, emitting a mesmerizing sound that was unbearable for human souls, and it began to digest the soul of Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
Soon, Otsutsuki Hamura was devoured by Xia Zhi, and the enormous Tenseigan on the moon, powerful enough to split the entire moon in two, was also brought under his control.
After devouring Otsutsuki Hamura, Xia Zhi set her sights on Otsutsuki Kaguya, who was sealed on the moon.
Sealed by the Super Earth Explosion Star, she is now unable to move, like a princess in captivity. How could Xia Zhi not be tempted?
"But first, we need to clean up the little minions on the moon."
He turned around and looked at the descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki on the moon who had rushed over due to the shockwave from the Tenseigan.
Upon seeing the summer solstice beneath the giant reincarnation eye, the Otsutsuki clan members were filled with shock and anger.
"Who goes there? How dare you trespass on our clan's forbidden area!"
"This appearance—you're a tainted ninja? Kill him!"
A group of Otsutsuki clan members released a large number of puppets and attacked Xia Zhi.
They overestimated their own strength.
Even a small mosquito is still meat!
Based on the fundamental principles of "not being picky about food" and "farmers work very hard," Xia Zhi used black mud mixed with Yin-Yang escaping techniques to create more than ten short thorns about thirty centimeters long.
With a flick of his right hand, the short spikes immediately surged forward at supersonic speed.
These puppets were as fragile as scraps of paper in front of the Yin-Yang Release short daggers (Konan: Where's your manners?), and were instantly pierced through.
Then, the short spikes pierced the bodies of the Otsutsuki people, and the black mud within immediately began to corrupt them.
"what is this?"
"Ahhh!"
Amidst frantic screams, these Otsutsuki clansmen were all assimilated by the black mud, becoming insane and shouting wildly.
Some people tore their clothes off and rolled on the ground.
Someone ripped off their own arm and waved it wildly.
Some people even pierced their own bodies with their own blood to create calligraphy.
These Otsutsuki clan members have all gone mad.
Summer Solstice devoured them one by one, eventually turning them into black mud that merged into the eyes of the reincarnated.
In less than half a day, the moon was cleared by the summer solstice, and even the Tenseigan was brought under control.
After absorbing the Reincarnation Eye, Xia Zhi transformed once more.
Aside from both eyes being Rinnegan, Xia Zhi's head had an extra eye, just like Erlang Shen's, which was the Tenseigan she had just devoured.
Feeling the somewhat disharmonious power of the bloodline within his body, Xia Zhi frowned.
"Although both Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Hagoromo were sons of Otsutsuki Kaguya and inherited a portion of her power, they were ultimately two different people. Although these two bloodline powers were similar, they were actually incompatible and could not allow the Tenseigan and Rinnegan to merge into one."
"Kaguya Otsutsuki is the same; her Byakugan and the Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe are clearly distinct, actually two different powers. I wonder if anything will change after absorbing her."
Do it when you think of it.
Summer Solstice flew to the seal of Kaguya Otsutsuki on the moon, easily broke through the seal using the memories of the Sage of Six Paths, and infiltrated it.
Kaguya Otsutsuki spent over a thousand years in the seal, so she can be said to know the seal inside and out.
As the summer solstice arrived, she immediately sensed the intrusion of something foreign and curiously looked up at the seal.
She noticed that the seal had developed some cracks, and some black mud was seeping in and dripping from the cracks.
However, Kaguya Otsutsuki did not show any joy; her first thought was to break the seal and regain her freedom.
She sensed a tremendous threat from the black mud, and her expression changed drastically.
This black mud looks like the Black Zetsu she created before she was sealed, but it is actually completely different and extremely dangerous.
It gave Kaguya Otsutsuki a feeling of dread, as if she were facing annihilation.
However, in order to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki, the moon created by the Sage of Six Paths was constantly absorbing the chakra within Kaguya's body to prevent her from having the power to break the seal.
Kaguya Otsutsuki herself was not skilled in taijutsu, and without chakra, she was unable to mount an effective resistance.
Within the seal, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki could only watch helplessly as the flowing black mud drew ever closer to her, eventually cornering her.
But Kaguya Otsutsuki wasn't too panicked.
Having eaten the Chakra Fruit, she possesses true immortality, able to recover from any injury and absorb any ninjutsu.
After all, even Yin-Yang Release is, strictly speaking, a type of chakra.
Kaguya Otsutsuki looked heartbroken, and two lines of tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Hamura, Hagoromo. Isn't sealing me away enough? Are you trying to destroy me as well?"
Xia Zhi, who had transformed into black mud, smiled slightly.
"I'm sorry, your two babies have already been devoured by me. I'll devour you now so that your family can be reunited inside my belly."
After cornering Kaguya Otsutsuki, the black mud that Xia Zhi had transformed into swarmed over her, staining large patches of Kaguya Otsutsuki's snow-white skin with black.
As a manifestation of human evil, black mud not only destroys the body but also erodes the soul.
After being covered in black mud, Kaguya Otsutsuki felt an extremely intense burning sensation and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"Ah! Hagoromo! Hamura!"
