Chapter 747: Sage of Six Paths: Muyue, Did You Revive Kaguya?

"Oh my, if it isn't my most respected Isshiki-senpai."

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki said with a grin.

"So you're still alive, Isshiki-senpai. I thought that hag Kaguya had killed you."

Isshiki remained unmoved and replied calmly:

"There's no need for such jokes."

"True enough. After all, you're Isshiki-senpai—how could someone like Kaguya ever kill you by rebelling against a superior?"

"But, Isshiki-senpai, you don't seem to be in very good shape right now."

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki deliberately mentioned Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's condition.

He could tell that the karma seal on the body Ōtsutsuki Isshiki had possessed was completely thawed, ready for reincarnation at any moment.

So why didn't Ōtsutsuki Isshiki go through with the reincarnation? There was only one answer: the "vessel" body was unqualified and could not fully contain an Ōtsutsuki's chakra.

Reincarnating into an unqualified "vessel" would be suicide for an Ōtsutsuki—they would die within a few days.

"No need for your concern. It's just a small matter; I'll resolve it soon."

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki still appeared indifferent, but he secretly began to gather power, ready to strike at any moment.

The Ōtsutsuki clan wasn't exactly harmonious internally, but normally killing one another was not permitted.

However, given Isshiki's special situation, if Ōtsutsuki Urashiki actually killed him, there likely wouldn't be any punishment.

"A small matter? I'm not so sure. Finding a qualified vessel in your current state won't be easy, Isshiki-senpai. How about we cooperate?"

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki said with a smile.

"What do you want?"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki neither refused nor agreed; instead, he probed Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's intentions.

"There's something on a Leaf shinobi. If you help me retrieve it, Isshiki-senpai, I'll tell you about a 'vessel' that is absolutely qualified."

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki said.

His reasoning was this: since Boruto possessed considerable Ōtsutsuki bloodline and could serve as a good "vessel,"

then Boruto's father, Naruto, who was immensely powerful, should certainly be able to withstand Ōtsutsuki chakra and serve as Isshiki's "vessel."

"You'll tell me?"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki looked as if he was amused into anger.

How could Ōtsutsuki Urashiki—someone who had come to the shinobi world who knows when—know the shinobi world better than him?

"If you don't believe me, Isshiki-senpai, I can tell you the 'vessel's' name first. If he can't handle your chakra, you don't have to help me."

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki continued.

"The 'vessel's' name is Naruto. He's in the Leaf right now."

Ōtsutsuki Urashiki knew well that getting Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to help him would be difficult unless he was willing to reveal the existence of the "Sickle."

But if he did that, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki might try to take the "Sickle" for himself.

So it was better to just expose Naruto's potential. That way, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki would definitely take action against Naruto, plunging the Leaf into chaos.

Then Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could take the opportunity to retrieve the "Sickle."

In Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's view, the only people in the Leaf who could threaten him were Sasuke and that yellow-haired shinobi.

If this chaos lured one of them away, then Ōtsutsuki Urashiki could easily reclaim the "Sickle."

"Naruto…"

Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's face was expressionless, but in his heart he firmly committed that name to memory.

…

"Do you know Ōtsutsuki Urashiki?"

After returning to his dwelling, Muyue released Ōtsutsuki Kaguya from the Daikokuten space and asked.

"Where did you learn that name?"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki asked in confusion.

"I'm the one asking you, understand?"

Muyue showed an unfriendly expression.

He had realized that you couldn't be too nice to someone like Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, or she would take advantage of it.

"I know him."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki nodded honestly.

"What kind of person is he? What abilities does he have?"

Muyue continued asking.

"Not close. I've heard he seems easygoing. As for abilities, I only recall he can rewind time by five seconds, but cannot rewind his own time."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki spoke honestly after recalling for a moment.

Muyue looked thoughtful.

Minato Namikaze once said that Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's evasive ability was extraordinary; almost no attack could hit him.

Muyue guessed that this extraordinary evasive ability was the effect of Urashiki Ōtsutsuki using time rewind.

"Can Karma be removed?"

Seeing that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki didn't understand Urashiki Ōtsutsuki, Muyue asked another question.

"When the person who placed the Karma undergoes reincarnation, the Karma disappears."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki replied.

"I mean directly removing the Karma."

Muyue asked again.

Reincarnation means Boruto would be gone, and whether the Karma remains or not would be meaningless.

"Then I don't know. Maybe the higher-ups have such an ability."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki shook her head.

In her view, removing a Karma was utterly absurd; it was the core divine art that allowed the Ōtsutsuki clan to dominate the universe.

But worried about being beaten, she didn't say it that harshly.

"What is the strongest ability of your Ōtsutsuki clan?"

Muyue thought for a moment and then asked.

"Omnipotence."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki answered without hesitation.

"This is the divine art among divine arts. It can materialize everything one imagines. Master this power, and even creating a world would be effortless."

"Omnipotence…"

Looking at the longing expression on Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's face, Muyue fell into thought.

He was thinking about something: that so-called divine art of divine arts — Omnipotence — was it truly omnipotent?

From Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's words, Muyue understood that the Ōtsutsuki clan planted God Trees in order to become the Ōtsutsuki God who transcends all.

Then, with Omnipotence, could one directly become the Ōtsutsuki God?

If this ability could only be mastered by becoming the Ōtsutsuki God, then could the one who masters it use it to make others become the Ōtsutsuki God?

Muyue thought it must be impossible, or at least heavily restricted; otherwise the Ōtsutsuki clan should all be Ōtsutsuki Gods by now.

In Muyue's understanding, all techniques had limits — whether ordinary ninjutsu, Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu, or Rinnegan dōjutsu.

The Preta Path could absorb ninjutsu and sage art, but it would be powerless against Six Paths Sage Art; it also couldn't absorb something like All-Killing Ash Bones, a Kekkei Genkai technique.

Amenotejikara could forcibly swap positions, but its effective range was not wide.

Omnipotence may be a very strong ability, but it probably can't do what Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said and materialize everything.

"I gave you so much information, you should at least give me one-third of the Promise Value, right?"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki stared into Muyue's eyes.

"Except for that ability of Urashiki Ōtsutsuki, none of this information is useful. Giving you one-thirtieth of the Promise Value is about right."

Muyue retorted without any courtesy.

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki appeared to have said a lot, but there really wasn't anything that could actually work.

Even Urashiki Ōtsutsuki's ability was the same.

When fighting Urashiki Ōtsutsuki, if he used the ability to rewind the world, Celebi would definitely sense it, so there was no need for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's information.

"One-thirtieth? Even if it's not very useful, it should still be one-fifth."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was very unconvinced. If she only got one-thirtieth, it would take her forever to accumulate one Promise and get Muyue to do things for her.

"At most one-twentieth."

"At least one-sixth."

In the end, after Kaguya Ōtsutsuki argued her case, Muyue reluctantly gave a reward of one-tenth of the Promise Value.

This meant that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki only needed to gather the remaining ninety percent of the Promise Value to synthesize the key item—Muyue's Promise.

"When it reaches ninety percent, I'll switch it to Promise Points. Accumulating a hundred Promise Points will get you ten percent of the Promise Value."

Looking at the satisfied Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Muyue thought to himself.

Although Kaguya Ōtsutsuki said that even absorbing another version of herself wouldn't match the strength of her Ten-Tails complete form, even Obito now knew not to trust an enemy's words, so Muyue certainly wouldn't believe Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's nonsense.

If Kaguya Ōtsutsuki absorbed another version of herself and evolved into an extremely powerful Two-Star Kaguya, then even the Six Paths old geezer rising from the dead might not be able to save the Ninja World.

"Stay here nicely. From now on, I'll add Promise Value based on your performance or lock you back in the different dimension."

Muyue said as he led Kaguya Ōtsutsuki to another bedroom on the second floor.

Actually, he did have some idea of cooperating with Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, because her strength was truly great.

If Kaguya Ōtsutsuki could become an ally, then Muyue would have a powerful comrade.

Hearing about the Promise Value, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki instantly became obedient.

"Just wait, Muyue. When I evolve again, I'll surely turn you to ashes with All-Killing Ash Bones."

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki thought viciously in her heart.

She believed she could definitely survive this ordeal, just like before.

In the past, she had successfully backstabbed Isshiki Ōtsutsuki by biding her time, and this time she would surely backstab Muyue as well.

Then Muyue deliberately went out, but kept his perception on the house the entire time. Even though Kaguya Ōtsutsuki showed no unusual movement, he did not withdraw it.

Until Muyue came back at night and fell asleep, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki still made no attempt to escape, and didn't even leave the bedroom.

"Hagoromo's chakra."

Lying on the bed, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki suddenly sensed something and looked toward Muyue's room next door.

At that moment, Muyue, in his sleep, also sensed a force trying to enter his body. Since he had already met the Sage of Six Paths, he knew it was the Sage's chakra, so he did not resist.

"Muyue, where did you bring the other Mother from?"

The Sage of Six Paths suddenly appeared in Muyue's dream, sitting cross-legged in front of him, asking sternly.

He had been extremely anxious today.

Suddenly sensing Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's chakra appearing in the world had once made the Sage of Six Paths doubt his life. How could Kaguya Ōtsutsuki be resurrected when the Tailed Beasts hadn't even been combined into the Ten-Tails?

After a careful check, the Sage of Six Paths was astonished to discover that now there were two Kaguya Ōtsutsukis at the same time.

While Kaguya Ōtsutsuki existed, her body—the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path—also existed in the Ninja World.

After some analysis, the Sage of Six Paths finally determined that Muyue must have done something.

Because the location of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's appearance was Muyue's home, and the only one capable of such a feat was Muyue.

The Six Paths Sage was very familiar with Muyue. As early as when Muyue founded the Ninja Sect in the Rain Country, the Six Paths Sage had begun observing Muyue.

He wanted to see how far this young man who dared to rebuild the Ninja Sect could go.

The result greatly surprised the Six Paths Sage. Without using too much power, Muyue step by step brought peace to the Rain Country and peace to the world.

In the Six Paths Sage's heart, Muyue had surpassed him, founding a better Ninja Sect and creating a more stable peace.

Therefore, during Muyue's great battle with Uchiha Madara, the Six Paths Sage was considering whether to give Muyue some support.

But his chakra was very precious; he had to keep it to deal with Kaguya Otsutsuki's revival, and the Six Paths Sage did not want to interfere in the mortal world as a dead person.

Fortunately, Muyue also lived up to expectations and quickly killed Uchiha Madara in turn, not letting the Six Paths Sage agonize too long.

"Parallel world—you should know this concept, right?"

Muyue replied.

Although the Six Paths old man was dead, he wasn't completely dead. Muyue thought that the other party should know about Naruto Uzumaki's time travel.

The Six Paths Sage nodded and asked:

"Did the people over there ask you to do this?"

The Six Paths Sage guessed that it was very likely that "he" on the parallel world side had some problem, resulting in not having enough power to seal Kaguya Otsutsuki.

"No, it's that I wanted to bring her over."

Muyue answered frankly.

The Six Paths Sage: "..."

"Muyue, Mother is different from us. She is very dangerous!"

The Six Paths Sage said seriously.

He too had once tried to use love to reform Kaguya Otsutsuki, but it was useless. Instead, it made Kaguya Otsutsuki want to absorb his and his brother's chakra.

"I know this, so I stripped the Tailed Beasts from her body and left a sufficiently solid sealing technique."

Muyue acknowledged.

"Then why not directly..."

"Because there is an existence even more dangerous than her—the Otsutsuki Clan."

"Isn't that something you made up, Muyue?"

The Six Paths Sage asked in confusion.

He had always thought it was a well-intentioned lie from Muyue for the sake of peace, just like absorbing Six Paths Chakra.

As for Kaguya's name, the Six Paths Sage thought it might be knowledge Muyue obtained from some ancient, dilapidated texts.

As for the most recent Urashiki Otsutsuki, the Six Paths Sage did not yet know of this person's existence.

Because the Six Paths Sage did not watch the Ninja World every moment, and even less could he see every place in the Ninja World.

"Of course not."

Muyue understood as soon as he heard that this old man usually spied on him quite a bit, but this was also within Muyue's expectations.

"At first it really was just some speculation of mine, but now it has been confirmed from Kaguya's mouth, and right now in the Ninja World there is an Otsutsuki other than Kaguya."

Muyue explained.

The Six Paths Sage's expression turned grave.

"This Otsutsuki's strength is not as great as Kaguya's; it is within my ability to handle. It's just that I don't know where he is now."

After saying that, Muyue looked calmly at the Six Paths Sage.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with this. Only if I know the chakra can I determine his location."

The Six Paths Sage said.

This was an answer that did not go beyond Muyue's expectations. If he knew it, he could also find him.

Using the ultra-long-range movement of Yomotsu Hirasaka, combined with Muyue's super perception, it would be very easy to conduct a search and capture within the range of the Ninja World.

The problem was that Muyue had never seen Otsutsuki Urashiki's chakra.

Moreover, using chakra to find people had a problem: if the other party had means to conceal chakra or interfere with chakra, then it would be useless.

The Six Paths Sage pondered for a moment, then looked into Muyue's eyes, locking gazes with him for a while. Finally, he floated over to Muyue's side and placed his hand on Muyue's shoulder.

"This is the only help I will give you."

Immediately after, Muyue suddenly felt an unusually powerful surge of chakra flow into his body. He looked at the Six Paths Sage with some surprise.

"Now, absorbing Six Paths Chakra is no longer a fabrication."

The Six Paths Sage said with a faint smile.

"Thank you."

Muyue thanked him sincerely.

Given the Six Paths Sage's current state, chakra was his life force. This was equivalent to giving Muyue some of his lifespan.

"No need for that. If you truly wish to thank me, then please let the peace of this world last a little longer."

With that, the chakra transmission ended. Muyue opened his eyes and sat up, carefully sensing the terrifying extra power within his body.

Meanwhile, the Six Paths Sage, who was in the Pure Land, became much more ethereal in form.

"I hope this choice was the right one."

The Six Paths Sage closed his eyes and said silently.

Now, even if Otsutsuki Kaguya revived, he would no longer be able to give future generations enough power to seal her.
