In the vastness of the deep space, Ōtsutsuki Urashiki, who was meditating on the surface of a desolate planet, suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the brilliant burst of multicolored light far off in the distance.
"That's the energy wave produced after consuming the Chakra Fruit," he murmured. "So Kaguya, that traitor, really is hiding in this star system."
Urashiki smiled as he gazed at the speck of multicolored light in the distant universe. After searching this star system for so long, he had finally found a trace of Kaguya. This discovery filled Ōtsutsuki Urashiki with delight.
If he could defeat Kaguya, he could seize the power of the Chakra Fruit within her and make it his own.
This wasn't due to him underestimating Kaguya or being overconfident. It was well known that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, being part of the branch family, was raised in captivity with poor combat abilities. Even if she had consumed one or two Chakra Fruits, she was not a threat to someone like Urashiki, who was from the main family and possessed the power of the Bloodline Limit: Complete Form.
Rising from his meditation, Urashiki snapped his fingers.
Snap!
A red fishing rod burst from the ground beneath Urashiki, and at the other end of the rod was a dense green orb of energy.
This was the chakra condensed from the remaining geomantic energy of the planet on which Urashiki stood. As he grasped the chakra in his hand, the planet beneath him began to disintegrate, breaking apart into fragments.
Destroying planets and absorbing all the life and geomantic energy within them was a daily routine for the Ōtsutsuki clan, a method through which they maintained their power.
As for the lives lost due to the planet's destruction, they were nothing more than ants to the Ōtsutsuki, unworthy of attention or concern.
"At least this planet had some decent energy left," Urashiki remarked with satisfaction after absorbing the energy from his rod.
Traversing the cosmos required a significant amount of chakra for the Ōtsutsuki clan, so replenishment was necessary. Moreover, since this star system hadn't been explored by Urashiki before, there were no spatial markers left behind, which meant he couldn't use the more chakra-efficient space-time abilities for travel.
When Kaguya fled to escape the Ōtsutsuki clan's pursuit, she had deliberately destroyed the markers left by her and Isshiki, leaving Urashiki with no clues to follow.
After absorbing the energy, Urashiki stored his red fishing rod and transformed his body, entering the Yomotsu Hirasaka, a dimensional pathway, to quietly head toward the star system where the multicolored light had appeared.
Although he looked down on Kaguya, Urashiki decided to investigate before making his move.
...
In another part of the star system, on a lush green planet, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki stood outside the planet's atmosphere, staring silently at the distant burst of multicolored light.
As a member of the Ōtsutsuki main family, Momoshiki knew well what the appearance of such a light in the universe meant.
Beside him stood the burly Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki, a lower-ranked warrior of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
After the multicolored light faded, Kinshiki respectfully asked, "Lord Momoshiki, what should we do now?"
Momoshiki glanced at the verdant planet beneath them, a trace of hesitation appearing on his haughty face.
He and Kinshiki had been searching this star system for a long time, depleting much of their chakra. Now that they had finally found a planet brimming with life, they planned to refine it into pills to replenish their lost energy. But at that moment, they also detected the presence of Kaguya.
Momoshiki found himself at a crossroads.
Refining the planet would take a significant amount of time. During this period, Urashiki or even Isshiki could potentially reach Kaguya first, leaving Momoshiki empty-handed.
Such a scenario would be disastrous for Momoshiki. Not only would he lose the chance to obtain the power of the Divine Tree within Kaguya, but his standing within the Ōtsutsuki clan would also be jeopardized—an outcome he was unwilling to face.
However, without replenishing his energy, he might not be able to compete with Urashiki and the others.
After careful consideration, Momoshiki finally decided, "We'll spend some time eliminating all life on this planet and start the refinement process to prepare for any unforeseen circumstances. Afterward, we'll go after that traitor Kaguya."
In the end, Momoshiki opted for a compromise. He would replenish some of his energy before seeking out Kaguya. He also planned to leave a unique marker on the planet, intending to return and fully refine it after dealing with Kaguya.
As for the possibility of failing to defeat Kaguya, Momoshiki dismissed it without a second thought.
"Understood, Lord Momoshiki," Kinshiki responded, bowing respectfully before descending toward the lush green planet.
After days of slaughter, Momoshiki finally obtained several high-quality chakra pills, replenishing part of his lost energy. Then, with Kinshiki in tow, he began to head toward the distant star system where the multicolored light had appeared.
...
A week later.
Within Shishou's dimension, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya lay asleep, her arm wrapped around Shishou's, a faint smile gracing her face as she rested peacefully in his embrace.
Shishou let out a long sigh as he gazed at the sleeping Kaguya.
At the start of their battle, Kaguya had been confused, resorting only to passive defense. But once she discovered that defeating him allowed her to absorb his energy, she became far more aggressive.
The days and nights of continuous combat had almost worn Shishou down completely. Even though he had achieved the status of a Bloodline Limit: Complete Form, he still felt an overwhelming fatigue, his entire body sore and unwilling to move.
He planted a gentle kiss on Kaguya's forehead, pulled the covers over them, and fell into a deep sleep with her in his arms.
After Shishou fell asleep, a small slug appeared on his shoulder. Observing the scene, the slug shook its head and disappeared once more.
...
The next day.
When Shishou awoke from his slumber, the first thing he saw was Kaguya blinking at him, her eyes full of quiet focus.
"You're awake?" Kaguya's cool voice reached Shishou's ears.
Before Shishou could respond, Kaguya removed her outer robe, revealing her flawless, fair skin beneath.
Shishou was momentarily taken aback.
Then, he found himself once again ensnared in the soft embrace of Kaguya, unable to resist her allure.
