Reborn in Konoha; I Think I’m Cultivating Immortality

"There's no need to be nervous. I'm just an ordinary person from the ninja world. As for how I know so much... well, I learned it from the 'third son' you created using your will."

Hui spoke slowly, his calm words causing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's expression to tighten.

Just moments ago, this man had told her that the "third son" she had created was already dead.

Although she never truly considered that being her "third child," the thought still made her uneasy.

Now, this man was saying that he learned all of this information from that "third son."

So... did that mean her "third son" was killed by this man standing before her?

"Although you didn't say it aloud, I can guess what you're thinking. Your 'third son' wasn't killed by me, it was someone else. Of course, I did play a role in his death.

"If not for him, I wouldn't have learned the secrets of a thousand years ago, nor would I have come here to meet you.

"In a way, the purpose for which you created him has been fulfilled. After all... I'm here to set you free."

Hui's words made Kaguya's eyes flash with surprise.

"You want to set me free?"

She was astonished, though she didn't doubt that Hui had the ability to release her.

After all, someone who could reach this place unscathed, walk freely within the seal, and even reshape this domain at will must possess the power to break her free.

That much was undeniable.

"Why wouldn't I? As I said before, we share a common enemy—the Ōtsutsuki clan."

Hui's tone was light, but his focus sharpened.

He continued, "You should know better than anyone how many members there are in the Ōtsutsuki clan."

The moment those words left his mouth, Kaguya couldn't help but recall the number of Ōtsutsuki clan members she knew.

"And you should also know how many of them are stronger than you and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki."

With nother leading statement, Hui subtly drew more information from Kaguya's inner thoughts.

"Moreover, considering the distance between the Ōtsutsuki's home world and this place, they should be arriving soon."

This final sentence caused Kaguya to pause as she seriously calculated the time in her mind. She couldn't help but nod slightly.

By now, Hui had gathered nearly all the information he needed about the Ōtsutsuki clan.

A satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

His divine ability, the ability to read the thoughts of others, made obtaining intelligence almost too easy.

"The Ōtsutsuki clan is overwhelmingly powerful. That's why I need an ally, someone who can stand with me against them."

Hui's voice was steady and sincere.

"And you, who share the same enemy as I do, are my ideal ally."

Hui had absolute confidence that Kaguya wouldn't refuse.

Sure enough, after a brief moment of contemplation, Kaguya nodded and agreed.

"Alright, I agree to form an alliance with you."

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was genuinely terrified of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Back then, to prepare for their return, she had created the White Zetsu army, only to be sealed away by her own two sons.

Now, it wouldn't be long before the Ōtsutsuki clan set their sights on this planet again.

And she knew that on her own, she stood no chance against them.

The man before her was incredibly strong, far stronger than her.

Forming an alliance with someone this powerful to face the Ōtsutsuki clan was undoubtedly the best choice.

"Then, welcome to my camp."

Hui smiled warmly. Someone as naïve as Kaguya was almost too easy to win over.

"Since we're allies now, let's get you out of here."

With that, Hui stepped closer to Kaguya, placing a hand gently on her shoulder.

Kaguya's body was still sealed by the yin-yang powers of the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura. Her body had essentially become a massive gravitational core, pulling everything toward her.

However, Hui's power far surpassed that of Hagoromo and Hamura.

If it had been anyone else standing here, they would've been trapped for eternity, unable to leave.

"This seal... tut tut tut how crude and simplistic."

Hui muttered to himself as he studied the gravitational field binding Kaguya.

With a faint smile, he raised his other hand. Natural Energy surged through the air as a golden glow emanated from his fingertips.

"Let's break this seal, shall we?"

Mochizuki Hui said with a hint of sarcasm before closing his eyes. When he opened them again, they gleamed with a sharp light.

"Release!"

With a soft yet powerful command, Kaguya immediately felt her body lighten.

At the same time, the entire moon seemed to tremble as if a massive burden had been lifted.

On the moon's surface, massive cracks storms appeared, sending clouds of dust into the air.

The sudden phenomenon did not go unnoticed by the descendants of Hamura Ōtsutsuki.

"What's going on?"

"The ground... it's cracking—and... is it expanding?"

"That's impossible, right?!"

"It really does seem like it... but why? Why is the ground suddenly expanding like this?"

"I have no idea!"

One after another, the descendants speculated wildly, completely clueless about the true cause of the phenomenon.

"Could it be... that something is wrong with the seal?"

Someone suddenly voiced the terrifying possibility, causing the others to fall silent.

As descendants of Hamura, they were well aware of why they were here in the first place.

The moon was their ancestral mission, the prison that held a terrifying demon.

Their ancestors had come to this place precisely to guard that seal.

If the seal truly had an issue...

Then things were about to go catastrophically wrong.

"No way. It's been over a thousand years without any disturbances. How could the seal possibly break now?"

Someone attempted to deny it, though their voice was shaky, betraying their anxiety.

"Regardless, we should check it out!"

Unable to sit still, one of them rushed toward the cracks.

What they saw when they peered into the fissures was a bottomless abyss, stretching deep toward the moon's core.

Their faces went pale as terrible thoughts filled their minds.

At the moon's center, having removed the seal, Hui watched Kaguya stretch and clench her fists.

"Ah... this feeling—it's amazing!"

Kaguya's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as she enjoyed the lightness of her body.

"Let's go. This place is too dark and dismal, it's hard to like anything about it."

Hui's voice interrupted her moment of bliss. 

He gently stopped Kaguya from outright destroying the moon and led her toward the exit.

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the moon's surface.

"Who's there?!"

The moment they appeared, they were spotted by the descendants of Hamura.

Of course, this was intentional on Hui's part.

He deliberately brought Kaguya out at this location, the branch family's territory.

"These people are the descendants of your son, Hamura. 

"And hey, I need you to help me with something."

Hui's tone was calm, but he already had a plan in mind for dealing with the situation.

Previously, he refrained from taking action because he didn't want to harm innocent members of the main family.

But now, the main family wouldn't even have a chance to react, the branch family was about to disappear entirely.

Disappear to where?

To Kaguya's personal dimension.

With that thought, Hui made his move.

He appeared beside one of the branch family members in an instant.

With a simple tap of his finger, the man let out a loud, piercing scream.

The scream was loud enough to draw the attention of the other branch family members.

As expected, more and more branch family members came rushing toward the sound.

One after another, the branch family members approached, only to be rendered helpless the moment they came near.

In the blink of an eye, each one was incapacitated and absorbed into Kaguya's personal dimension.

One by one, they vanished without a trace.

Eventually, the only ones left were the branch family members who had noticed something was wrong and tried to seek help from the main family.

But how could they possibly escape?

Hui's speed and power had reached a terrifying level, far beyond anything they could comprehend.

"Running for reinforcements are we? It won't be that easy."

Hui's voice was cold as he grabbed Kaguya's hand and pursued the fleeing branch family members.

Every single one of them was quickly caught, and without exception, they were absorbed into Kaguya's dimension.

Just like that, without the main family even realizing what had happened, the entire branch family was captured by Hui and sealed away in Kaguya's dimension.
