Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Otsutsuki Kaguya
Night
"Sigh!!!"
After finishing his meal in an ancient-style inn, Shishou looked up at the stars and sighed deeply.
After a day of exploration, he finally confirmed through the historical records and the people's knowledge in this country that he was in the era before the Sage of Six Paths established the ninja sect.
According to the descriptions from the locals, this era should be when Otsutsuki Kaguya had just ended the chaotic times and was worshipped as the Rabbit Goddess.
At this time, there was no chakra in the ninja world. The main forces of the various countries were samurai, with the Three Great Sage Regions and other deities practicing natural energy.
Based on the storyline from the manga that Shishou remembered:
In ancient times, Otsutsuki Kaguya and Otsutsuki Isshiki came to the ninja world to plant the God Tree. Once the tree matured, according to the Otsutsuki clan's rules, Kaguya, who held a lower status, was to be sacrificed.
However, Kaguya did not want to accept this fate and thus ambushed and seriously injured Isshiki, sacrificing him to the God Tree instead.
During the sacrificial process, Isshiki used the "Sukunahikona" technique to shrink himself, escaping the fate of being sacrificed.
Afterwards, Kaguya consumed the chakra fruit, ended the chaos, and was revered as the Rabbit Goddess.
Later, Kaguya gave birth to Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura amid the blessings of the people.
To counter the pursuit of the Otsutsuki clan, Kaguya planned to have the people worship the God Tree, but Hagoromo and Hamura opposed her, leading to a conflict between mother and sons.
Ultimately, Kaguya was sealed, and the God Tree was split into the Nine Tailed Beasts.
Otsutsuki Hamura went to the moon to guard the Ten-Tails' body, while the Sage of Six Paths remained in the ninja world to establish the ninja sect, giving birth to Ashura and Indra.
The above were events from the manga.
Therefore, Otsutsuki Kaguya should have already ambushed Isshiki successfully and consumed the chakra fruit, but whether she had given birth to Hagoromo and Hamura was uncertain.
Pregnant women can be quite irritable, and Shishou did not want to confront her now.
However, based on the upcoming storyline, Kaguya would likely continue to plant the God Tree to gain more power.
Kaguya's method of planting trees was simple: sacrifice humans to provide energy for the God Tree.
Given Shishou's vast chakra reserves far exceeding ordinary people, it seemed inevitable that Kaguya would target him sooner or later.
After all, Kaguya planted trees to let the God Tree absorb more energy and bear another chakra fruit to fend off the Otsutsuki clan's attacks. There was no reason for her to abandon such a high-energy resource like him.
However, Kaguya also needed humans as helpers, so Shishou might leverage his chakra advantage to gain her attention and possibly become her subordinate or something.
Despite Kaguya's immense power, she was relatively simple-minded.
Because she was so strong, she could control everything, and naturally, she wasn't afraid of being deceived.
At this time, Kaguya had just arrived in the ninja world, making her extremely naive.
Shishou might be able to use this opportunity to deceive her.
Thinking of this, Shishou disappeared from his spot and ran towards the Land of Ancestors.
His recent thoughts and assumptions were based on the manga, but if reality followed the anime plot, he would have to come up with another plan.
In the manga, Kaguya was a celibate, while in the anime, she was portrayed as having a romantic mindset. These were two different character settings, and Shishou needed to confirm which one to devise his next strategy.
Activating Sage Mode, Shishou quickly flew to the Land of Ancestors.
Arriving at a capital city smaller than Konoha, Shishou soon sensed Kaguya's presence in a nearby forest. After all, at this time, only he and Kaguya possessed chakra.
As Shishou appeared, Kaguya instantly emerged from the Yomotsu Hirasaka space, tilting her head to look at him.
This person in front of her looked quite good.
"Why do you have chakra?" Kaguya asked, frowning as she observed Shishou.
At this moment, Kaguya wore white clothes, her face pale, her features delicate, holy, and beautiful.
Her eyes were crystal clear, shining brilliantly.
Her slightly swollen belly added a touch of maternal glow, indicating she had been pregnant for some time.
Being stared at by Otsutsuki Kaguya, Shishou's hair stood on end, and a strong sense of danger enveloped him.
Although Kaguya was often ridiculed for lacking combat experience and having no final boss presence, the aura she emitted made Shishou feel unprecedented terror.
Moreover, Kaguya was truly tall. Despite Shishou being over 180 cm, he only reached her chest.
Of course, training a tall woman would be more exciting.
Seeing Shishou not answering, Kaguya extended a finger and pressed it against his forehead, extracting his chakra.
Damn, Kaguya really had an obsession with chakra, absorbing it immediately.
In an instant, half of Shishou's chakra was absorbed.
As she absorbed the chakra, Shishou noticed Kaguya's belly swell a bit more, causing her to frown in pain and stop the absorption.
Damn, I just made Kaguya's belly bigger...
Seeing this, Shishou internally commented.
"Maybe I can help you check it out," Shishou offered.
After Kaguya absorbed his Sage chakra, her belly grew larger, confirming Shishou's suspicion.
Kaguya, who was from the manga's celibate version, was not actually pregnant. She had simply absorbed too much chakra from the God Tree, and her body couldn't handle it temporarily.
This also explained why her belly grew larger after absorbing his chakra. However, Shishou needed further confirmation.
Kaguya raised her head, her holy face showing some pain. She hadn't expected her belly to swell more after absorbing Shishou's chakra.
Having grown up planting God Trees and having just arrived in the ninja world, Kaguya severely lacked common sense. When people said she was pregnant, she accepted it as true.
But if she was really pregnant, why would her belly grow larger after absorbing chakra?
Why was this happening?
Kaguya thought in confusion.
Then, Kaguya looked at Shishou, frowning.
This person not only had chakra but also an absurd amount, almost as much as she had before consuming the God Tree fruit.
Moreover, his chakra felt somewhat familiar...
Thinking of this, Kaguya asked again, "Who exactly are you?"
