Two days later, in the Forest of Death in Konoha Village.
Gawain held a cigarette in his mouth, raised his head, and looked at the nine behemoths in front of him.
Facing Gawain's eyes, the nine tall animals all shrank back, and even the fox with the most tails among them couldn't help turning his head to the side, not daring to look at each other.
Seeing them acting like this, Gawain pursed his lips and smiled.
"Why are you silent? Aren't you very proud in the past? You are the children of the Sage of Six Paths. You are the powerful beings created by the Sage of Six Paths after he separated from the Ten-Tails.
With such a noble status and such powerful power, why are you silent now?"
As he spoke, Gawain repeatedly emphasized the word "Six Paths Sage", causing the tailed beasts to tremble more and more.
After hesitating for a long time, the nine tailed beasts looked at each other, and finally focused on the nine tails and eight tails.
Facing the gazes of other similar creatures, the Eight-Tails rubbed its horns with its tentacles, while the Nine-Tails flicked its tail helplessly.
"Ahem, sir, everyone doesn't know that you are leading the team in Konoha this time.
Besides...well, everyone has been fooling around for a long time without knowing the news about your return.
Master Liu Dao did talk to us about you back then, but in the past thousand years, our brothers have suffered too much and have forgotten many things.
Human beings just like to seal us away. Even though we are the children of Lord Liu Dao, we are still sealed here and there, which makes everyone go crazy and don’t understand many things.
So, sir, please forgive us ignorant brats..."
After the words fell, Kyuubi lowered his head in shame. He had never said such a condescending word in his life.
Facing the Ten-Tails, the Nine-Tails dared to jump out and sneer, but now, facing Gawain.
Kyuubi really felt that her claws were a little weak...
On the side, the other tailed beasts looked at Kyuubi with more satisfaction. This guy, Kyuubi Lama, is really good at things he encounters. He is indeed the most powerful tailed beast with the most tails.
Then, the tailed beasts looked at Gawain nervously, waiting for Gawain's plan to deal with them.
Gawain thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Well, it's that guy in Yuyi who is unfilial. You kids are quite obedient. Except for a few brats who had a fierce confrontation with the team I sent out, most of them were captured well-behaved."
Upon hearing this, the tailed beasts looked at each other, are you sure we were very obedient and were captured?
It seems like we really can’t beat it, right?
But that’s fine, otherwise I will be punished by Mr. Liu Dao’s father...
It turns out that there are benefits to being weak, helpless and pitiful.
At the same time, Gawain continued.
"In the future, you should not stay in other people's bodies casually. Although your body is a bit bigger, the space will not be a problem for your body size.
I will create a separate space for you little ones, just like Miaomu Mountain, or a space that is more private than that. You can live in it.
I will bring you food and drink on a regular basis. Although you don't need to eat or drink, you still need to have some food to enjoy life occasionally.
As for your relationship with each other, well...
Don’t fight, try not to fight, that’s it.”
After the words fell, Gawain clapped his hands, and the Heavenly Palace suddenly appeared, including the nine tailed beasts.
The next moment, looking at the lush grassy space in front of them, the nine tailed beasts felt happy, and then each started communicating with Gawain.
This requires a volcanic environment, that requires a sea, this requires a sandy desert environment, that requires an iceberg environment, and so on.
In short, Gawain quickly placed the nine tailed beasts in place.
After placing nine large-sized naughty children, Gawain returned to his office and sat quietly for a while.
Taking advantage of this time, Hei Jue, who was already impatient, came to Gawain's side.
"Father."
He bowed respectfully, and then whispered to Gawain.
"Now, all the large ninja villages except Konoha have completely surrendered, and there are only a few remote small ninja villages left in the ninja world that cannot see the current situation.
Everyone is continuing to run around in the ninja world, conquering the small ninja villages one by one. In short, no matter what, the unification of the ninja world has been achieved easily by you.
In this way, the unification of the ninja world is in sight, and the only thing left is to spread the unification from the ninja world to the civilian world, and from ninja villages to all countries.
And we, who have mastered the strongest armed force of ninjas, cannot be disobeyed by any daimyo.
Father, your decision back then is about to succeed.
So at this joyful moment, you see...should we invite Mother out of the moon and share this happiness with Mother?"
After the words fell, Hei Jue looked at Gawain expectantly, waiting for Gawain's answer.
Listening to Hei Jue's suggestion, Gawain nodded and smiled.
"Indeed, it's time to bring Kaguya out.
In the past few days, the ninja world has been in chaos. Kaguya will probably be very upset when she comes back, so it's okay not to call her.
But now, his grandchildren have become sensible and understand their identities.
In this case, it’s time for us family members to have a good meeting.”
Having said this, Gawain waved to Hei Jue.
"Call all your reincarnated nephews over and tell them that I want them to meet their grandma!"
"As you command, Father!!!"
Hei Jue suddenly became as excited as a husky. He shook his head and nodded wildly, then left with a whoosh, disappearing along the shadow.
After a while.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Madara, Hashirama, Sasuke and Naruto appeared in front of Gawain.
"Ah, grandpa, what happened? Grandma, are you coming back?"
Naruto came up and asked politely, he has always been so unruly, but this kind of atmosphere is more suitable for a family.
Beside Naruto, Sasuke raised his hand and patted Naruto on the head.
"Be polite in front of grandpa, don't ask questions, just listen to grandpa's instructions!"
"Haha, Brother Madara, Sasuke's character is a bit similar to yours. He is indeed the reincarnation of Indra!"
Hashirama said to Madara with a smile, but his words earned Madara a disdainful frown.
"Humph, Naruto is just as stupid as you. The reincarnations of your Asuras are all like this. It seems that Asuras were indeed not smart back then!"
"Well……."
Hashirama was speechless and had nothing to say, so he simply turned to Gawain and asked with a smile.
"Master, what is that? Is grandma in the moon?
Grandma, she is a member of the Otsutsuki family, right? Does she have any ill will towards the ninja world?
Of course I hope grandma will return, but I'm worried that after grandma was sealed away by our cheap father for a thousand years, she will come out and plan to destroy the world...
If that's the case, grandpa, you must not pamper grandma blindly. Let me tell you, you can't get used to women. Once you do, you will..."
boom!
Before Hashirama could finish speaking, Madara raised his fist and hit Hashirama hard on the head.
"That's your grandma... she's our grandma, how can you talk, Hashirama!
Even if grandma wants to destroy the world, there is a reason. Who told our fathers to be unfilial and imprisoned grandma for so long!
Besides, if this despicable ninja world was completely destroyed and then let the grandparents create a new world, it would be cleaner.
The newly created humans should be innocent for a long time, right?"
"Ah, don't say that. There are still many innocent people in the ninja world. Don't just destroy the world or something like that!"
He gradually interrupted Madara's words helplessly, then he looked at Gawain and asked Gawain with a smile.
"By the way, grandpa, how are we going to rescue grandma? Do we need to cut the moon in half?"
"Not just cutting it open, but also using special chakra to break the seal.
Hagororomo's villain not only locked Kaguya into the moon with the Six Paths Earth Explosion Sky Star, he also created a space in the center of the moon similar to the Heavenly Palace and the Pure Land. The moon is just a carrier to seal off that space.
Instead of explaining to you what I am going to do, I will just do it and you can see for yourself.
It stands to reason that opening that space requires the Chakra of the Ten-Tails as a key, but I don't need it. Those poor tailed beasts have already been tortured a lot, so I won't continue to torture them."
"Yes, those tailed beasts are indeed quite weak. They are helpless and pitiful. They are quite cute. If you don't bother them, don't bother them. It's pretty good."
Hashirama supplemented this, and Uchiha nodded in agreement. Sasuke and Naruto were trembling on the side and did not dare to speak. They always felt that they had lost the face of Asura and Indra...
The two of them have now seen what tailed beasts look like.
The kind of tailed beast that can destroy a mountain by just turning over.
Are you sure they are weak, helpless and pitiful?
While Sasuke and Naruto were thinking wildly, Gawain clasped his hands together, and Yomi Hirasaka suddenly appeared in front of them.
After a while, everyone, including the two children, appeared in the space between the ninja world and the moon.
The two children were protected by Gawain's chakra and looked excitedly at the blue-green ninja world below.
As for Hashirama and Madara, they both glanced at the moon slightly nervously.
Is my grandmother sealed there?
The mother of the Immortal of Six Paths.
The origin of chakra.
The legendary goddess.
Otsutsuki·Kaguya?
At this moment, Gawain raised his right hand.
Hei Jue raised his head excitedly and looked at the moon in the sky.
In Gawain's hands, the huge moon gradually disintegrated, like an onion peeling off layer by layer.
With the continuous output of chakra, a silver-white eye suddenly opened in the middle of the moon.
After a moment, the silver-white eyes froze for a moment, then closed suddenly.
A hand passed through the closed eye, which was like an eggshell, and opened the eggshell again.
This time, Kaguya's narrow hair and wide clothes finally flew out of the eggshell.
While flying, Kaguya looked at Gawain from afar.
Meeting Kaguya's eyes, Gawain smiled and pulled his right hand in his direction.
Kaguya immediately flew towards Gawain. She did not control her trajectory, but naturally flew in front of Gawain.
Gawain nodded, then shook his right hand.
The moon suddenly condensed back together and once again bloomed with brilliant moonlight.
On the side, Princess Kaguya took a deep breath and then spoke.
"How long has it been, Gawain? I thought you wouldn't appear again."
"Sorry, Kaguya, I came back a little late.
Originally I thought that maybe I would be able to return in just over thirty years.
But I didn’t expect that it would be thousands of years before we met again.
Thanks a lot."
Gawain originally thought that when he returned to the ninja world, it would be the plot where the Sage of Six Paths broke up with his mother. After all, that was an important plot point in Naruto.
Unexpectedly, when he came back again, it would be the beginning of the plot.
There was a gap of thousands of years in between.
Hearing Gawain's words, Kaguya nodded, then turned to look at the void of the universe worriedly.
Looking at the endless void, she said thoughtfully.
"Thousands of years have passed. It's really a long time. Ishiki has been dead for too long. Logically speaking, the Otsutsuki family should send people to look for traces of Ishiki.
What about the two children Gawain, Hagoromo and Hamura? Although they betrayed us, we need their strength in the face of the incoming Otsutsuki Ishiki.
Also, who are the people around you? Why do I feel a little...familiar?
Are they... Asura and Indra...
I...why are there four?
Has Hagoromo given birth to another child?
Or is that Hamura kid finally getting married?"
Having said this, Kaguya's indifferent eyes finally showed enough emotion.
She came to the two pairs of brothers, opened her arms, and held her four poor grandchildren in her arms.
Hashirama and Madara were extremely awkward, while Sasuke and Naruto were a little touched.
Is this grandma’s embrace?
Grandma is too tall, too. With Grandpa’s size, how did they get together in the past?
Perhaps sensing the thoughts of the two brats, Gawain instantly returned to his former size. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Kaguya's hair.
"Don't worry, Kaguya, the Otsutsuki family is no longer a threat.
Although I came back a little late, precisely because of this, my power is countless times stronger than before, and far beyond your imagination.
If the Otsutsuki family comes, I will deal with them and will never let them affect you.
Now, you can be called truly free, Kaguya!"
"Is it?"
Hearing this, Kaguya opened her mouth in surprise, and then let go of the four children in her arms.
At this moment, Kaguya finally saw the little black Zetsu nearby who had little sense of presence.
There is no reflected light in the universe, and Hei Zetsu cannot reflect light at all. He really has no sense of presence here.
Looking at Black Zetsu, Kaguya nodded.
"You have worked hard these years, and you have been trying to find ways to save me, right, kid?"
"Yes, Mother, I...I...
I finally meet you!!!"
Hei Jue cried particularly plainly. While he was crying, he was reluctant to leave his mother even for a single glance.
However, Kaguya didn't care too much about Hei Zetsu's crying. She and Hei Zetsu had almost never gotten along, and they were not as affectionate as Hagoromo and Hamura.
So, after only being moved for a moment, poor Black Zetsu was forgotten by Kaguya. ()
