Land of Ancestors, Palace
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki pressed Sasame against the wall.
Her expression was cold.
Lacking common human understanding, she saw nothing unusual about this gesture.
Her Byakugan activated, those snow-white eyes scrutinizing Sasame's body without restraint.
So, a Sage's Body after all.
Kaguya remained silent for a few seconds.
Though she wasn't one for deep thought, she couldn't help but wonder about Sasame's origins.
This physique could only have come from the Ōtsutsuki clan.
Then, she leaned in.
The distance between them shrank.
In Sasame's vision, that detached yet exquisite face drew closer.
Had he not known Kaguya was celibate, he might've thought today would prove the saying:
Boys must be careful outside—safety first.
But alas, nothing so scandalous happened.
"Sharingan?"*
Kaguya's gaze lingered on Sasame's faintly trembling lashes. Through his ordinary eyes, she glimpsed the Eternal Mangekyō lurking beneath.
This only solidified her belief—this man was undeniably tied to the Ōtsutsuki.
The progenitor of the Sharingan and Rinnegan was the Rinne-Sharingan.
The dōjutsu Kaguya gained after consuming the God Tree's fruit—her third eye, the Byakugan's apex.
In this world, there was no logical reason for a human to possess the Sharingan.
Sasame wasn't surprised.
He'd anticipated this.
He had hesitated before.
But in the end, he hadn't hidden it.
Only this way could he earn Kaguya's attention.
Still, he'd prepared a cover story.
If she probed his memories, she'd see the lies woven by the Ring of Fate.
If not, he'd rely on his silver tongue to convince her.
Not that belief mattered much to Kaguya.
She was too strong.
Strong enough to control everything.
There was no way Sasame could escape her grasp.
Kaguya reached out, tilting his chin with her fingers, examining him.
Finding no trace of a third eye, she released him.
"Your name."
"Sasame."
He exhaled inwardly, meeting the gaze of this towering girl. "My parents… were likely of your clan."
Then, he spun a tale.
Two Ōtsutsuki clansmen, tasked with planting a God Tree on some distant world.
Passing by this planet, they took a liking to a human woman—and thus, he was born.
Throughout, Kaguya stared, unblinking.
Her first thought: Why would Ōtsutsuki ever desire a human?
But then, judging by Sasame's looks, his mother must've been breathtaking.
…Perhaps it made sense.
It never even occurred to her that he might be lying.
Under her majesty, humans—weak as they were—could never deceive her.
As for fellow Ōtsutsuki, such deceit was rare by nature.
Isshiki had fallen to her ambush precisely because of this.
No precedent, no guard.
Kaguya gave a slight nod. "From now on, you are my attendant."
There were many reasons to keep him.
For one, he was a living chakra battery.
A small one, but Kaguya hoarded every drop.
Not a single wisp would go to waste.
Secondly, she needed someone to care for the two infants she'd unexpectedly birthed.
As a goddess, she knew nothing of childcare.
Even pregnancy had been a vague concept.
Among the Ōtsutsuki, she'd been low-ranking—destined as fodder for the God Tree.
A branch family member, raised like livestock.
An aloof, silent woman who knew nothing of the world.
Even in this chaste incarnation, that much held true.
"Of course."
Sasame smiled.
But unlike other humans, he didn't kneel or grovel.
Kaguya didn't mind.
To her, Sasame's shared blood made him slightly nobler.
(Still an ant compared to her, though.)
Their brief exchange ended there.
Kaguya fell silent, sitting by the bed, staring at the two infants.
"Goddess, what are their names?"
Sasame stepped closer.
"They have none."
Kaguya's voice was frosty. "Nor are they my children."
Sasame understood.
A young woman, suddenly saddled with two babies—how could she feel anything?
By nature, they were mere clots of chakra.
To Kaguya, they might not even qualify as people.
Yet, she did grow to care for them later.
Even in the final battle, she'd held back against Naruto and Sasuke.
"How about 'Hagoromo' and 'Hamura'?"
Sasame feigned contemplation before suggesting.
"Fine."
Kaguya's reply was flat.
No emotion whatsoever.
One, she didn't care.
Two, she didn't grasp the significance of names.
[Your actions have altered the fates of Hagoromo and Hamura Ōtsutsuki. You have gained 20 Fate Points.]
This nets points too?
No wonder they're this era's protagonists.
As Sasame mused, Hamura suddenly wailed.
Like a chain reaction, Hagoromo joined in.
"…?"
Kaguya glanced at them, then at Sasame, brow furrowing. "Why?"
"They're probably hungry."
Sasame guessed. "They need to eat."
"Hungry? Eat?"
Kaguya seemed to ponder this.
After consuming the chakra fruit, she'd become truly immortal.
Any injury regenerated; all ninjutsu absorbed.
Only sealing could stop her.
Starvation was impossible.
But Hagoromo and Hamura were different.
As infants, they still needed nourishment.
Kaguya hadn't birthed them conventionally—no breastfeeding possible.
Sasame immediately ordered porridge.
Soon, the crying ceased.
Kaguya's eyes flickered.
Keeping Sasame had been the right choice.
Without him, she might've grown annoyed—and simply reabsorbed their chakra.
"Goddess, let me prepare lunch for you as well."
Sasame turned, grinning. "My cooking is renowned."
Most would question why a daimyo could cook.
But Kaguya didn't. She simply said, "I don't eat."
Only then did Sasame remember—alien.
Combined with the chakra fruit, her body was a flawless vessel.
A true goddess, untainted by mortal filth.
"But you could try."
The thought of dragging a goddess into the mud was… thrilling.
Kaguya blinked.
This attendant was rather disobedient.
Yet she said nothing.
Sasame took her silence as tacit approval and headed for the kitchen.
His culinary skills were master-tier—but that might not suffice for an alien palate.
So, he spent a Fate Point, boosting them to legendary tier.
The kind that could found entire schools of cuisine.
The Ring of Fate's standards were amusing.
Cooking, being unrelated to combat, came cheap.
He whipped up two Sichuan classics:
Fish-fragrant shredded pork and Kung Pao chicken.
Mostly for the aroma.
Placing the dishes before her, he announced, "Goddess."
Kaguya eyed the vibrant colors—and remained unmoved.
"Guess I'll eat alone."
Sasame didn't push further.
"Why keep staring?"
He finally asked between bites.
"No reason."
Her tone was flat, those white eyes unreadable.
Mostly, she was bored.
And she didn't dislike Sasame.
In this room, he was the only thing worth looking at.
"Ah."
Setting down his chopsticks, Sasame asked, "What are your plans, Goddess?"
For the first time, emotion flickered across Kaguya's icy face.
Having betrayed Isshiki, she'd defied the Ōtsutsuki.
Though Sasame claimed ignorance of his "father," she wouldn't reveal her secrets.
Lack of guile didn't mean stupidity.
But silence wasn't an option either.
To grow stronger against the Ōtsutsuki, she had two paths:
Have the God Tree bear fruit again.
Infinite Tsukuyomi—turn all into soldiers.
"Unify the world."
Her voice was emotionless. "The God Tree must grow."
She only mentioned the first plan.
The second would've included Sasame.
Revealing it might prompt immediate betrayal.
For now, she'd rather avoid that.
"Using humans as fertilizer?"
Sasame had expected this. Honestly, he felt little kinship with these ancient humans.
(Unless it were his ancestors—then he'd save them.)
Besides, his solution would save them, in a way.
Kaguya nodded.
His blasé attitude struck her as natural.
To her, these natives were insects, unworthy of regard.
"I'd advise against it."
Meeting her shifting gaze, Sasame continued, "This world has gods. They'll resist."
"Then I'll kill them."
Kaguya stared, unblinking. "Fear not. They're no match for me."
Such overwhelming confidence.
In the future, only the Shinigami and Jashin remained.
The rest must've been purged.
"Gods aren't the issue."
Sasame smiled. "But we can use them."
"Why complicate things?"
Kaguya's approach was pure force.
No tactics, no subtlety.
Her greatest weakness.
Hence why she'd been sealed twice.
Not that he blamed her.
With that kind of power, who'd bother with finesse?
"It's not complication."
Sasame explained, "These humans are too weak. As fertilizer, they'd barely nourish the God Tree. Meeting your needs would take ages."
"I have time."
Though wary of Ōtsutsuki pursuers, Kaguya knew the God Tree fruited every millennium.
With travel time, centuries would pass before retaliation.
Her real concern was Isshiki.
If he recovered fully, she stood no chance.
"But waste is still waste."
Sasame thought. You'll be sealed within forty years.
Thanks to Black Zetsu, she'd briefly resurfaced—only to be locked away again.
Who knew when she'd next escape?
…Kind of tragic.
Kaguya blinked.
This attendant really had a mind of his own.
Not that she had prior experience with attendants.
After a pause, she asked, "Your proposal?"
"Share chakra with humans."
He watched her reaction closely.
"No."
Instant refusal.
Dividing chakra meant weakening herself.
For the first time, she felt a flicker of displeasure toward Sasame.
So he's still a human at heart—scheming for his kind.
"Goddess, though you're stronger, I understand chakra better."
Relieved she hadn't struck him down, Sasame pressed on. "What do you think chakra is?"
"…"
Kaguya had no answer.
Chakra came from the God Tree.
By merging with it, she'd gained power.
Its essence? Who cared?
"Chakra is the fusion of mental and physical energy."
Sasame stood, demonstrating chakra extraction.
Kaguya's eyes widened slightly.
She hadn't known chakra could be refined.
Hers replenished naturally—not that she'd ever run low.
"If you plant chakra seeds in humans and teach them extraction, they'll repay you with more chakra."
Sasame unveiled his plan.
(Step one, anyway.)
Kaguya's head snapped up.
This… made sense.
Lend a little, wait, reap multiples.
Like planting a tree.
An undeniable profit.
"You're… somewhat useful."
Even praise sounded lifeless from her.
Sasame sighed inwardly. No wonder no one stayed loyal.
Where were the rewards?
But he didn't ask. Instead:
"There's a catch. If we do this repeatedly, humans will catch on. Even with seeds, they'll stop extracting."
"Then I'll kill them."
Kaguya's brute-force mindset resurfaced.
