Chapter 912

If a surprise attack were launched now, Qianqian would very likely be able to kill the two of them in an instant, and then she could figure out a way to undo the seal.

But the premise for all of this is that Qianqian wants to do it. Although she had promised to help Young Yuanzi undo the seal on Kaguya, unsealing it without Young Yuanzi present leaves too many uncertainties—especially since her existence here is only a projection.

"You traveled all this way here, surely it's not just to ask me a few simple questions, is it?" Ōtsutsuki Uzuha had noticed from the very beginning that Qianqian would always deliberately ignore the place where her mother was sealed, and precisely that behavior made her pay even closer attention.

"Actually, I came to assess the situation, because what will happen next is no longer something that can be seen in the Pool of Foresight of our Divine Dragon Realm."

Qianqian wasn't lying at all—she really did come to observe the seal. After Young Yuanzi once again gathered the Divine Dragon Jade, the previously calm Pool of Foresight began to ripple, and the once clearly visible future grew increasingly blurred as time went on, until very recently there was not even a single image left.

Qianqian considered that since she had already promised to help Young Yuanzi find Kaguya, even though Young Yuanzi wasn't here now, she ought to continue gathering intelligence.

This time she first used the Pool of Foresight to capture the moon's reflection, then employed a secret art to refract her projection onto the moon, making Qianqian the first visitor to reach the moon in a thousand years.

Think about it—nearly a thousand years have passed. No matter how sturdy the seal Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo used back then, it must have developed quite a few cracks.

As long as she could find and record them, then later Young Yuanzi would only need to prepare properly and directly target those weak points, and he could undo the seal in one stroke to release Kaguya. So it was only right for her to come observe and make appropriate adjustments after returning.

"The survival of humans is no different from that of wild beasts; it's just that the way they fight is more savage. When the situation truly develops to the point where you need to use the Tenseigan to control the moon and crash it into the ground, would you do it?" Qianqian still remembered what Ōtsutsuki Uzuha had said earlier about the Tenseigan's function, and she suspected Hagoromo's hand was at work in this as well.

"That would be natural. If it were only the humans' petty squabbles, it wouldn't lead me to make such a decision. Otherwise the Shinobi World would have been destroyed long before the Guardian main family and branch family split." In Ōtsutsuki Uzuha's eyes, the endless wars of humanity over the past thousand years were perfectly ordinary, and she also knew Qianqian wasn't omniscient about everything.

"This is an 'insurance'—an insurance that exists only to protect this realm."

At Kaguya's peak, her Divine Kingdom domain enveloped the entire world; no nation's territory could compare to Kaguya's former Divine Kingdom, and her own strength made her a god.

But precisely such an all-powerful person—why did she still not stop sacrificing to the God Tree? Kaguya's purpose was never revealed to anyone, including her two daughters Hagoromo and Uzuha.

"What Hagoromo and I received from Mother were completely different styles of education. For my elder sister, Mother taught her many techniques and guided the chakra within her sister to stimulate her bloodline awakening." Ōtsutsuki Uzuha formed a hand seal, the white sphere began to glitter, and then Qianqian saw images from the ground within it.

"For me, what Mother taught was the usage of the Byakugan and also military strategy." Ōtsutsuki Uzuha paused, afraid Qianqian had missed something, and emphasized again, "Military strategy—yes, what Mother taught me was battlefield tactics for commanding larger numbers of troops."

"She wanted to assemble a massive army with my elder sister as the Vanguard Commander and me as the commander. The soldiers were those who had become nutrients for the God Tree—God Tree incarnations with everything erased; they could no longer be called human. And such a force was later released ahead of time by Mother to resist Hagoromo and me. Even though none of them could be considered strong, their enormous numbers well compensated for the lack of individual combat power. To annihilate them, to whom Kaguya had given the order to 'kill everyone,' Hagoromo paid a great price."

Ōtsutsuki Uzuha looked at Qianqian very seriously, and the facts she had spoken put great pressure on Qianqian.

If any had slipped through the net back then, how many clansmen would the other side have developed by now.

What's more.
