Chapter 728: Mothers, He

In the sky over the Ninja World, the space split open with dozens of fissures.

Through each fissure, a white figure slowly descended. Pale skin, white long hair, and a nine‑curved‑jewel Rinnegan on the forehead.

Dozens of Kaguya Otsutsuki simultaneously descended upon the Ninja World!

They undeniably exuded overwhelming pressure, turning the sky blood‑red, the earth began to tremble, countless ninjas looked up in desperation, their eyes filled only with endless fear.

An urgent alarm rang throughout the Village.

"Tuan Cang, you and Uncle Hashirama stay in the Village to oversee the situation."

Lian Ye had no intention of letting them take part.

Facing a horde of Kaguya Otsutsuki, numbers meant nothing!

Better to stay in the Village.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Although he wanted to fight side by side with his good brother, he understood that a battle of this caliber was beyond his participation.

Even if he went, he would be nothing but cannon fodder, and would distract Lian Ye.

"Quan Nai, you and Feijian stay at home; go nowhere!"

Madara Uchiha's expression was serious, his tone left no room for refusal.

He had seen Kaguya's power with his own eyes, so naturally he was unwilling to see his younger brother go.

"Brother…"

Just as Quan Nai tried to persuade, Madara Uchiha sharply cut him off.

"Now is not the time for fooling around!"

"You don't need to worry; we have control." Lian Ye looked at the few, smiled and said, "If a true crisis arises, you can use the dragon vein to leave this place."

Although his right‑eye ability could suppress Kaguya, facing a swarm of Kaguya still exerted considerable pressure.

Fortunately, he had already become the Ten‑Tails Jinchuriki, greatly increasing the odds of defeating Kaguya.

That was merely the best‑case and worst‑case plan.

Qianshou Feijian silently watched Lian Ye, as if he saw the boy who once strived to become stronger.

He hadn't given up; he just hadn't reached the moment to step forward.

"I understand."

Qianshou Feijian knocked Quan Nai unconscious with a single sword strike, speaking seriously.

"If we truly have no choice, we will leave this time‑space."

Madara Uchiha's gaze fell gently on Quan Nai, unusually speaking to him in a soft tone.

"Then I entrust it to you."

"Tsk, don't look at me with that dead‑man stare!"

Noticing his good brother's worried look, Lian Ye laughed and teased.

But Zhi Cun Tuan Zang's expression did not loosen at all from his joke.

If it were a single Kaguya Otsutsuki, he believed his good brother could defeat it.

But a horde of Kaguya, the outcome was uncertain.

Seeing the worry etched on their brows, Lian Ye didn't know what to say.

"Relax, the situation isn't as severe as you imagine…"

He could only pretend nothing was wrong, turned his back to them and waved.

"When I return after defeating Kaguya, I'll rest for months; during that time I won't cook."

"Alright, that's it. We'll catch up when I'm back!"

Saying that, he shot upward at extreme speed toward the direction where Kaguya stood.

After becoming the Ten‑Tails Jinchuriki, he unlocked the ability to fly.

He had only been sunbathing at home, so never had a chance to use it.

Madara Uchiha gave Quan Nai one last look, then immediately followed. Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, seeing this, were unwilling to fall behind.

"Naruto, did you sense it?"

"I sensed it—nineteen Kaguya, five more than last time!"

Naruto Uzumaki closed his eyes to sense, his expression solemn as he spoke.

"What exactly is their purpose?!"

Sasuke Uchiha furrowed his brows, not understanding why so many Kaguya gathered together.

"Whatever their purpose, anyone daring to come to this time‑space must be ready to be crushed!"

Madara Uchiha's voice was icy, filled with fierce battle intent.

After learning that Kaguya Otsutsuki might descend upon the Ninja World, he captured the Three‑Tails and Nine‑Tails, stuffing the two beasts into an Outsider Demon Statue.

All to, when Kaguya arrived, become the Ten‑Tails Jinchuriki and defeat her!

But now is not the time to become a Jinchuriki; he wanted to see if he could defeat Kaguya with his own strength!

……

Nineteen Kaguya floated silently; they sensed a powerful force rushing toward them.

For a moment, they did not immediately rescue the Kaguya of this time‑space, but wanted to see who the strong one was.

Having crossed so many time‑spaces, this was the first time meeting someone so strong!

It made them involuntarily become interested in him.

"Mothers, please rescue my mother quickly!"

Heijue was frantic.

Although this group of mothers is no different from its mother, it thinks that the mother of this spacetime is its true mother!

After working so hard for years, it's finally about to achieve its ideal.

For Heijue at this moment, every second is torment!

The group of Huiye ignored Heijue's words, their gazes simultaneously falling on a certain direction.

There, a black dot gradually enlarged.

After Heijue saw the newcomer clearly, it was stunned, even temporarily forgetting the matter of rescuing its mother.

"Chu Zi?!"

Why is Chu Zi here?!

How did he become a Ten-Tails Jinchuriki?!

What on earth happened in the Ninja World during the year I was absent!

Heijue has many questions in its mind, but unfortunately no one helps it answer them.

"Who is calling me?"

Lian Ye seemed to have heard someone calling his name just now.

Besides him, only a group of Huiye were present, so that voice of Chu Zi was most likely calling him!

He only scanned around and didn't find anyone else.

Most likely he misheard…

"Kaguya Otsutsuki, what is the purpose of your coming here!"

Lian Ye didn't get tangled over someone calling him, but looked at a group of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

I have to admit, a group of Huiye standing together does exert a strong sense of oppression.

The Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't respond immediately, instead tilting their heads and looking at him with puzzlement.

"Who are you?"

They didn't sense any Indra or Asura chakra aura from Lian Ye.

The strong opponents they met in other timelines were all related to their two grandsons.

But the person before them didn't give that impression, which was indeed odd.

Lian Ye: "…"

He knows Huiye's combat IQ isn't high, but didn't expect that their IQ also seems rather low.

For a moment, he felt he had been humbled again.

One person fighting nineteen Huiye should be winnable, right?

Of course, he was just thinking about it…

Handling three to five is no problem; taking on a whole group would likely end in a gruesome death.

Now he can only find an excuse to inquire about their purpose, and if their purpose poses no threat to the Ninja World.

Then there would be no need to fight.

Just as Lian Ye was about to introduce himself, a hoarse voice sounded from the cuff of a Huiye.

"Mothers, he is the Chu Zi I mentioned…"

At those words, the previously indifferent eyes of the Huiye suddenly lit up with brilliance.

Each of them stared straight at Lian Ye, as if they had discovered something remarkable.

Lian Ye: "???"
