Reborn as Danzō’s Grandson, Must I Offend the Entire Ninja World?

"Don't!"

"Stop! Please stop! It hurts!"

"This is the only one left, please, please…"

This time, Kaguya was truly angered by Yami to the point of tears.

She was like a young girl who had completely lost the ability to resist, able only to watch as he manipulated her, swallowing each of her five spaces one by one.

When the lava space was absorbed, Yami also sealed Black Zetsu, suppressing him completely.

When the last icy space vanished, they appeared in a normal-looking realm. The ground was littered with strange rocks, covered in a layer of red soil.

This was the original sphere space hidden by Black Zetsu. The chakra devoured by the God Tree passed through here, continually transforming into Kaguya's power.

Here, Kaguya was at her strongest.

"Shimura Yami! I'm going to kill you!"

Wiping away her tears, her long hair whipped violently behind her, morphing into a massive white sphere. From it, a rabbit emerged, roaring at him.

This was not the rabbit he occasionally teased, but a true Ten Tails form.

Back then, the Sage of Six Paths had joined forces with his younger brother to defeat Kaguya, extracting the Ten Tails from her body and sealing it within himself, becoming its jinchūriki.

However, even for the Sage of Six Paths, that Ten Tails form had not been complete. Part of the chakra fruit and the God Tree's trunk had fused entirely with Kaguya, becoming part of her life force and the source of her immortality.

Until now, Kaguya had been the only perfect Ten Tails jinchūriki in the shinobi world. But now, there was another—Yami.

In fact, Yami's situation was even more extreme. He had merged entirely with the God Tree and destroyed the consciousness born from the chakra's gathering.

[Host and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's resentment bond reaches the second stage, reward obtained: Ten Tails Chakra (full version)]

The chakra in his body surged again, and Yami felt completely invigorated.

The war had been a paradise for him to reap gains—starting from Obito, then to Orochimaru, and finally to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

He almost regretted letting Orochimaru activate Infinite Tsukuyomi.

If he had taken the Rinnegan and given it to Madara to use again, he could have profited once more.

But Orochimaru had been far too composed, revealing his reward only after being completely absorbed.

Roar—!

Rabbit Kaguya let out a thunderous roar, launching two massive Tailed Beast Bombs brimming with chakra.

Red lightning crackled as they tore through the air.

Yami stepped forward, his aura changing drastically.

The chakra around him vanished. His black combat uniform and divine robe with flame patterns faded, and even his skin turned to the same pale jade-white as Kaguya's.

"You… you're Ōtsutsuki, and of the royal family!"

Kaguya's voice trembled in shock at the change in him.

She felt a suppressive force from his bloodline that made her chakra flow sluggish. This was not something an ordinary Ōtsutsuki could cause, only one of a higher lineage than herself.

And above her clan's elite… was the royal family of Ōtsutsuki.

They were so rare that they were considered mythical across the universe.

She had once seen a projection of one when receiving the God Tree's seed. Though the oppression she'd felt then had been stronger, Yami's life aura was comparable.

Why would a royal appear in such a remote star system? Could it be to capture her?

She was just an ordinary Ōtsutsuki. Why would the royal family bother with her?

Panic overwhelmed her, shattering her composure.

Yami, no longer holding back, unleashed unimaginable power. With a double kick, he sent the super Tailed Beast Bombs flying. The shockwave even lifted the feathered robe she wore.

In the next instant, he appeared before her, placing his palm against her chest.

The power of the nine tailed beasts exploded, resonating with those inside her and awakening their resistance.

One by one, they were torn from the rabbit form. Except for Eight Tails, which only had partial chakra, the other eight fell to the ground, barely regaining their forms when an indifferent voice spoke.

"Planetary Devastation."

The nine tailed beasts rose helplessly into the air as massive chunks of rock surged up to encase them.

At the end, a figure dropped to the ground with a dull thud.

It was Orochimaru, discarded.

Infinite Tsukuyomi was not Kaguya's reincarnation through Orochimaru or Madara's flesh. They were merely vessels carrying her chakra, summoning her back from the Six Paths Planetary Devastation seal.

Once the tailed beasts were extracted, Orochimaru, now useless, was spat out by the Gedo Statue.

A quick glance told Yami that Orochimaru's life force was fading fast, so he ignored him.

His hands moved to restrain Kaguya's chakra flow. Without its support, the rabbit form collapsed, returning to her body.

In moments, Kaguya went from a fearsome Six Paths warrior to a frail, thousand-year-old girl.

Through it all, she didn't resist, only crying softly, "Don't catch me, don't catch me," as she granted him her final bond reward.

[Host and Kaguya reach the third stage of fear bond, reward obtained: Chakra Fruit]

A fruit?

This was a treasure.

Consumed personally, it would grant another Ten Tails' worth of chakra. Given to another, it could instantly raise them to immortal Six Paths-level.

He hadn't decided how to use it yet, so he put the thought aside and looked at Kaguya, now crouching with her head in her hands.

Reaching out, he pinched one of her small horns.

"Nhnn~!"

Kaguya let out a small groan, her body going limp. She nearly collapsed, but Yami caught her, holding her in his arms.

"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, though I have a higher Ōtsutsuki bloodline, that doesn't mean I'm one of the clan, and I'm not here to capture you."

"You're… not here to arrest me?" Her white eyes lit up.

Feeling the softness of her form, he nodded seriously. "I have nothing to do with the Ōtsutsuki clan. I gained this bloodline through my own talent and effort.

"And I won't seal you away again."

Lowering his head, he lifted her chin. "You worry about powerful Ōtsutsuki coming here. Why shouldn't I worry as well?"

"So, in a sense, we're still allies."

"Since we're allies, we should deepen our bond…"
