"Divine Princess."
Sasame knocked and entered the room. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya sat by the window, gazing at the distant sky. This was her usual state. Hearing Sasame's voice, she turned her head, her white eyes falling upon him. After two years of coexistence, she completely trusted this servant of hers. She had even grown somewhat dependent. She could do nothing all day and still reap a good harvest of chakra.
She had wondered, what would she do if Sasame were to leave her one day due to the end of his lifespan? She would certainly be at a loss. She was already someone who didn't understand much, and with Sasame, this tendency became even more pronounced. Simply put, she had been pampered into uselessness. Aside from possessing immense power, everything else depended on Sasame. In short, this servant was excellent. She was even a little reluctant to part with him.
"I need you to help me find someone," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya said expressionlessly, suppressing her sudden thoughts. "He is my enemy, named Ōtsutsuki Isshiki."
"Do you have any clues?" Sasame asked calmly. "As long as there are significant characteristics, people throughout the ninja world can search for him for you."
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya paused slightly at his words. Why didn't I think of the Heavenly Net? Although those ants are weak, they are numerous. And given Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's arrogance, he would disdain these "weeds." Without precautions, he might be found. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya searching for him herself would be almost hopeless. Because Ōtsutsuki Isshiki knew she wanted to kill him, he would flee without hesitation if he sensed anything.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya looked at Sasame, once again surprised by his extraordinary wisdom. She should have told him about Ōtsutsuki Isshiki earlier. Perhaps he would have already been found by now.
"He should be currently inhabiting a human host," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya thought for a moment and said. "This human will not age or die, and there will be a black diamond mark on his palm as a distinguishing sign."
"That's enough," Sasame said with a smile. "You don't need to worry; the Heavenly Net will definitely dig him out." In fact, he knew a little more than Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. For example, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was inhabiting a monk named Jigen. As long as he was a person, there would be traces of his existence. Unless he stayed in some extremely hidden place.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya looked at his smile, and the corners of her lips also curved slightly. The worry and distress she had felt earlier suddenly diminished considerably. She mused, "After Ōtsutsuki Isshiki is found, I will give you an even better reward."
Sasame's eyes lit up. A reward better than a kiss, what could that be? All of a sudden, he was full of motivation.
"Divine Princess, the Heavenly Net needs your help with something," Sasame said, observing her expression. Seeing her react, he continued, "I hope you can set up a button on all the login devices that allows them to contact you, because they are about to embark on a journey of unification, and they will inevitably encounter deities. If they die, it would be a waste of time to cultivate them again."
"Understood," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya nodded. Her "leeks" couldn't be harvested by others.
"Summoning you naturally won't be free," Sasame added. "I will set a reasonable amount of chakra currency for it."
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya looked at him, and an idea suddenly popped into her mind. Perhaps I should transform him into a branch member of the Ōtsutsuki clan? He's simply too useful. Although Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had not met many creatures, she had spent time with the high-and-mighty main branch member, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. Setting aside bloodline and power, she believed Sasame was a hundred times better than him. With him, she felt that her second chakra fruit seemed not far off.
"What's wrong?" Sasame was a little confused. He actually felt a hint of aggression in Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's gaze. This wasn't uncommon, actually. She always looked at chakra that way. But it was the first time she had looked at a human like that. Sasame secretly wondered if he was about to make it big? To turn the tables and become the master?
"Nothing," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya withdrew her gaze and said, "You go get busy. In two days, I'll teach you the Summoning Jutsu."
Sasame nodded, not daring to ask further, only able to suppress his curiosity.
Unifying the world was a big undertaking. Although Sasame had already issued the mission, he didn't want the players' power to be scattered. After all, they were still relatively weak. Encountering the three Great Sage Regions or deities could lead to a complete wipeout. Therefore, Sasame wanted Ōtsutsuki Kaguya to bestow the Summoning Jutsu. Kaguya, save me. This ninjutsu was the true forbidden jutsu. He also had a login device, and it didn't cost him anything, so he could use it whenever he wanted. At least in this world, he would be invincible. Soft rice truly tastes good.
Sasame pondered as he walked to the plaza. The plaza had now been designated as a skill learning area, with two permanent instructors: Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura. Speaking of these two, Sasame felt nothing but envy. The former had the Rinnegan naturally, the latter the Byakugan. Furthermore, their talents were simply monstrous. They learned everything just by seeing it once. Sasame had no "game experience" at all. Being their teacher made him want to vomit blood from frustration. Are these really two-year-olds?! In terms of strength, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, the future Sage of Six Paths, was almost surpassing him. Ōtsutsuki Hamura, on the other hand, was a bit more foolish, perhaps due to his personality. He was boisterous and carefree. Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, however, already had the demeanor of the future Sage of Six Paths: calm, intelligent, and steady.
However, for Sasame, he was an excellent tool. He had already arranged for Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo to develop the Five Nature Transformations. With his future experience as a foundation, it would be much faster than creating them from scratch. Therefore, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo actually admired him quite a bit. He could casually come up with an interesting ninjutsu. Hmm, what do you call this? Sasame secretly thought, this is teaching myself.
"Teacher," Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo greeted him politely.
"Teacher!" The same address, from Ōtsutsuki Hamura, was twice as loud, accompanied by an enthusiastic smile.
"How are things?" Sasame nodded and asked.
"They seem to be learning so slowly," Ōtsutsuki Hamura scratched his head and asked. "Why is that?"
Because you're not human, Sasame thought to himself, but said aloud, "This is a matter of talent. You and your brother are true prodigies, with extremely high talent, while they are much less so."
"Oh!" Ōtsutsuki Hamura's face lit up with a brilliant smile. "So I'm a genius!"
"Your teaching duties for today are over," Sasame patted Ōtsutsuki Hamura and said, "Go play." After all, they were just two-year-old children, and their desire to play was stronger. Hearing him say that, the two happily left the plaza.
"I have already issued the first main mission, which is to unify the world," Sasame turned to the crowd in the plaza and said. "Under this main mission are many sub-missions, all with their own rewards, so everyone, work hard."
"Yes!" A uniform reply rang out. Although Sasame called them "players," they were far from being the so-called "Fourth Great Scourge." After all, they were quite obedient.
"Next, the three thousand of you will form the Land of Ancestors' first ninja army. Let's call it the Divine Princess Army," Sasame casually named them. "You will rest for three days, then depart for our neighboring country, the Land of That, and conquer them."
The cheers this time were even greater. The Land of That was stronger than the Land of Ancestors in terms of national power. In addition, since the two countries were close, there had always been friction. But each time, it ended with the Land of Ancestors suffering losses. Over time, an irreconcilable hatred had formed between the two countries. Now that they had a chance for revenge, they were naturally very excited.
"There's also a hidden mission that will unlock once you meet certain conditions," Sasame said with a smile. "If you complete it, there will be very generous rewards." This hidden mission was precisely to find Ōtsutsuki Isshiki. Of course, he didn't directly state the name, only wrote his characteristics. Seeing the determined expressions on everyone's faces, Sasame left the plaza with satisfaction.
Far away, a toad also disappeared.
Mount Myōboku.
Gamamaru, the Great Sage Toad, listened to the report with a solemn expression. For the past two years, he had been closely observing Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, and Ōtsutsuki Hamura. As for Sasame, he had ignored him. Because he seemed to be an ordinary human, just a lucky one chosen by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. No, he shouldn't be called lucky; he was unlucky. He was destined to die.
But now, the Great Sage Toad suddenly realized a major problem. When the Heavenly Net appeared, he wasn't alerted. It wasn't until the three thousand ninja army formed that he roughly understood what Ōtsutsuki Kaguya wanted to do: to harvest humans in a gentle way to nourish the God Tree. Given Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's personality, it was absolutely impossible for her to come up with such a strange thing. There was only one culprit: Sasame.
The Great Sage Toad's face was livid. As a human, yet serving an alien, he was truly detestable! But he also had doubts. Why was Sasame not present in his prophecy? It was as if he had appeared out of thin air. It made no sense. Why would Ōtsutsuki Kaguya randomly find someone and have them be so intelligent? Could she truly be a person of great destiny?
"Go notify the deities in all regions; they must stop them," the Great Sage Toad commanded in a deep voice. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya couldn't be defeated, but these three thousand ninjas were vulnerable. As long as they were stopped, their progress could be delayed. Furthermore, this Sasame absolutely could not be allowed to live. In just two years, he had caused so much trouble. If he continued, it would be disastrous. An Ōtsutsuki Kaguya with power but no wisdom could still be fought. But one with both power and wisdom, how could she be defeated?
Three days passed in a flash.
"Delicious!" Ōtsutsuki Hamura wolfed down his food, not forgetting to express his amazement.
"Hamura, don't shout while eating," Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo chewed elegantly, reminding him.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya tilted her head slightly, glanced at the two brothers, and pursed her lips, revealing a gentle smile. At this moment, she displayed a hint of maternal warmth. Although she was essentially still a maiden.
"Mom, I was reading the book Teacher gave us yesterday, and I have a question," Ōtsutsuki Hamura completely ignored Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's reminder, looking up and asking. The books Sasame gave them were not redeemed from the Ring of Destiny, but rather already existed in this world. What if these two couldn't figure it out and instead of becoming ninjas, they decided to become emperors? That would be amusing.
"What is it?" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya asked calmly.
"It says that all children are the crystallization of their parents' love. So, where's my dad?" Ōtsutsuki Hamura asked, his face innocent and curious.
"Crystallization of love?" Ōtsutsuki Kaguya instinctively looked at Sasame. Her eyes conveyed confusion. What is love? Why can men and women have children together?
Sasame noticed her gaze, his expression stiffening. He knew the principle, but how was he supposed to explain this?
"I understand!" Ōtsutsuki Hamura looked at Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, then at Sasame. His smart little mind worked furiously. "Teacher is my dad!" Ōtsutsuki Hamura said excitedly. There were two reasons for his excitement: first, he didn't dislike Sasame; on the contrary, he liked his care and strange ideas. Second, he thought he had figured out his origins.
Sasame was dumbfounded.
"Hamura, don't talk nonsense," Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo was clearly more mature than his thoughtless brother. "Teacher isn't our dad." He could tell that Sasame and the three of them were completely different species. In the books he had read, it was mentioned that only similar species could produce offspring.
"Ahem, your mother is the Divine Princess, so she's special," Sasame glanced at Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. It would have been best for her to explain, but her eyes were distant, probably still thinking about what "love" was.
"Do we not have a dad?" Ōtsutsuki Hamura immediately looked disappointed.
"It's okay, even if you don't have a dad, you have a teacher," Sasame smiled, comforting him. Ōtsutsuki Hamura was just a child; his emotions came and went quickly, and he soon returned to the important business of eating.
"The ninjutsu you wanted has been created," Ōtsutsuki Kaguya shifted her head, snapped back to reality, and no longer thought about other things.
"Thank you." Sasame extended his hand, secretly thinking that Princess Kaguya was truly useful. Next time he had the chance, he would have her create a long-range Gentle Fist as well.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya said nothing, grasping his hand and transmitting the ninjutsu information. Ōtsutsuki Hamura saw this scene, his eyes darting around, seemingly deep in thought.
Sasame carefully reviewed the information in his mind and couldn't help but nod. This summoning ninjutsu perfectly met his requirements. Hmm, let's call it Divine Princess Summoning.
After eating, Sasame came to the plaza.
"War often means sacrifice," he began his speech. "Although you are stronger than ordinary samurai, you will still get injured and die. However, we have the Divine Princess. She, in her great mercy, has bestowed two divine techniques that all of you can use." Sasame added Divine Princess Summoning and Resurrection Jutsu to the Heavenly Net login device. Instantly, the plaza erupted with countless exclamations of shock and cheers.
"Resurrection? We can actually be resurrected?!"
"Does this mean we'll never have to fear death again?!"
"Divine Princess!"
"Divine Princess!"
Finally, all the discussions converged into four words. Sasame smiled; he didn't care about these people's loyalty. After all, a thousand years from now, none of them would be left.
"This expedition will primarily focus on taking prisoners, understood?" His plan was to pick out those who surrendered and make them new players, while those who swore to fight to the death would be thrown to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya to become White Zetsu. Sasame was worried that his Heavenly Net would lead to the disappearance of the White Zetsu. That impact would be too great and not worth it.
"Understood!"
The three thousand Divine Princess Army immediately set off for the neighboring country. Sasame didn't go. It was too boring, he'd rather spend time with Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
