The Land of That.
"You're saying the Land of Ancestors sent three thousand people towards our country?" The middle-aged man on the palace throne raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you haven't made a mistake? How could a Daimyō as weak as the Son of Heaven dare to provoke a war?"
"Absolutely certain," the kneeling samurai replied. "Our scout saw it with his own eyes and rushed back to report without stopping."
"Hahahaha!" The middle-aged man burst into laughter. The other ministers joined in, and for a moment, the air was filled with joyous mirth.
"Daimyō! This is bad!" A sudden panicked voice interrupted the cheerful atmosphere.
"What's all the fuss about?" The middle-aged man's face darkened as he asked.
"Daimyō!" The rushing samurai knelt on the ground, his face filled with terror. "They've attacked! They're right outside the palace!"
"Impossible!" The middle-aged man abruptly stood up. "My Land of That has five thousand elite soldiers, the best of all nations!"
"Daimyō!" The samurai was about to speak when countless soldiers from the Land of Ancestors, the ninjas, surged into the palace.
"Kentaro?!" The middle-aged man collapsed onto the ground, paralyzed with fear. Kentaro was the most famous general of the Land of Ancestors. His presence here undoubtedly proved that their Land of That had fallen. And in less than half a day, their royal palace had been breached. What kind of joke is this? The middle-aged man stared blankly at Kentaro, for a moment thinking he was dreaming. Not just him, but the other ministers were even worse, falling to their knees one after another, expressing their surrender.
Kentaro immediately smiled. A message popped up on the bracelet he wore, which was the Heavenly Net Login Device.
[Congratulations, Player Kentaro, for achieving the first conquest of the Land of That, receiving a special reward: D-rank Genjutsu, Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique.]
Moreover, this message was visible to all players. Kentaro immediately felt the envious gazes of those around him. So satisfying! A double satisfaction, both mental and material. It made him even more respectful of the Divine Princess.
Kentaro looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Tie them all up."
The Land of That was thus destroyed. But Kentaro did not command the army to continue conquering the next country. Instead, he followed Sasame's instructions and developed new players. After all, the more new recruits they got, the more rewards they would receive. A mere conquest of a country, in their eyes, was not as enticing.
On a hillside behind the royal palace, three mystical animals were currently conversing.
"Chakra and ninjutsu have brought too great an improvement to humans," the Great Sage Toad said with a serious expression. "Other countries will not be able to withstand their attacks. If nothing unexpected happens, the Land of Ancestors will be able to end this era of war."
"It's time for us to act," the Great Snake Sage exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Um... if the Heavenly Net continues this way, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya might not need to absorb our planet's power anymore," the Slug Sage hesitated for a few seconds before speaking. "And chakra is clearly beneficial to humans."
"Katsuyu, you are too soft-hearted," the Great Sage Toad called her by her true name, shaking his head. "Those not of our kind will surely have different intentions."
"But there's one thing you got right," the Great Snake Sage said thoughtfully. "The benefits of chakra are self-evident. Can we utilize it?"
"Indeed, that makes sense," the Great Sage Toad also began to ponder.
"Humans can hardly withstand pure natural energy, but they can accept chakra without problems," the Slug Sage had a flash of inspiration. "If the two are mixed, perhaps a certain balance can be achieved."
"Excellent!" The Great Sage Toad thought about it more and more, finding it logical. "After we deal with this Son of Heaven of the Land of Ancestors, we will discuss this further." A strong premonition surged in his heart. What the Slug Sage said might be the key to defeating Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. Because as it stood, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo and Ōtsutsuki Hamura were indeed far inferior to their mother. But the prophecy also hinted that only an Ōtsutsuki could defeat an Ōtsutsuki. There must be something crucial in between. Now, it seemed highly likely to be natural energy.
The Land of Ancestors.
Somewhere on a vast plain.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Jutsu! Sasame formed hand seals, and chakra transformed into a water dragon, roaring as it flew out. He was sparring with Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo. Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo stood still, merely raising his hand slightly.
Water Release: Water Formation Wall! A wall composed of water appeared before him. Sasame twitched his lips. Not needing hand seals is truly so cool. The water dragon crashed into the water wall, immediately losing its effect. Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo suddenly flew up, condensing a dazzling bolt of lightning in his right hand, and with a flash of his body, charged forward. This was not a ninjutsu Sasame had taught him, but one he had comprehended on his own. In terms of power and appearance, it was somewhat similar to Kakashi Hatake's Lightning Blade. But if Sasame knew that Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, at only two years old, could develop an S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu, he would probably be dumbfounded. This was a true genius. Sasame's only advantage over Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo was experience and his Sage Body. His Sage Body was complete, but Hagoromo was only two years old, far from being able to exert its full potential.
Not far away, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya watched the two fighting. A thoughtful expression appeared on her cold, delicate face. There was nothing much to say about the ninjutsu Sasame used. But his taijutsu was very interesting. He had learned the orthodox basic taijutsu of Konoha from Tsunade. If he continued to learn, there would be two branches: the Strong Fist style and the Gentle Fist style. The former's representative was Might Guy, the latter the Hyuga clan. Although Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was the ancestor of the Hyuga clan, she actually didn't know Gentle Fist. The so-called Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was not Gentle Fist, but a Bloodline Limit. Gentle Fist should have been created by Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
Given Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's strength, she had never encountered an enemy that made her consider techniques. She simply crushed them with brute force. But now that she had watched Sasame fight so much, she couldn't help but have some thoughts.
"Teacher, go!" Ōtsutsuki Hamura shouted loudly. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya glanced at him, bouncing around, and suddenly smiled. She had lived for thousands of years, yet had never experienced a life like this. But it was quite good. At least she felt happy. Before, she was like stagnant water, not even a ripple.
Just then, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya's bracelet trembled slightly, and a distress message was transmitted. It was Kentaro and his group; they had encountered a deity.
"Sasame." Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had intended to disappear immediately, but she didn't.
"Divine Princess." Sasame immediately stopped fighting and shunshinned to her.
"Deity." Ōtsutsuki Kaguya maintained her concise style.
"Take me to see, how about it?" Sasame's eyes lit up, interested. Among the deities, two could contribute Destiny Value: the Shinigami and the Evil God. Ōtsutsuki Kaguya placed her hand on Sasame's shoulder, and the two instantly vanished.
The Land of Trees.
Kentaro and the others, after defeating the ordinary soldiers, thought victory was assured, but suddenly numerous fierce beasts emerged from the forest. In this world, humans could not use natural energy. But fierce beasts were different; they lived in nature for a long time, and over time, their physiques were enhanced. If enough time passed, they might even develop a power like the Three Great Sage Regions. Such fierce beasts were undoubtedly fatal to Kentaro and his group, who had just reached the genin level.
"Hold on!" Kentaro shouted while dodging a tiger's attack. His body was already covered in wounds. Just then, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya appeared before him. She gently raised her hand. The tiger screamed and turned to ash. With her power, facing these immature fierce beasts, she didn't need to use any ninjutsu or dōjutsu. A chakra crush would kill them all.
"The Divine Princess is here! We're saved!" Kentaro immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have your people retreat," Sasame said, watching Ōtsutsuki Kaguya rampage. Since the local deities were making a move, it wouldn't be that simple. Or rather, their target wasn't Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, but them. After all, if they could kill her, they wouldn't have waited a thousand years to act.
"Yes!" Kentaro immediately used the Heavenly Net Login Device to broadcast a message to the entire server. This cost him ten liang of chakra currency.
[Everyone, immediately disengage from combat.]
The remaining Divine Princess Army soldiers received the message and quickly moved away from the forest. Sasame secretly thought, it's truly convenient. The most troublesome thing about an army was command. It required a very strict system to be as easy to control as one's own arm. But now with the Heavenly Net, it wasn't that troublesome. Sasame believed that even without chakra, the Land of Ancestors could unify the world with this.
Not long after, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had completely eliminated the beast horde.
"Damn invaders!" An angry voice echoed from deep underground. The forest shook, the ground cracked, and a giant tree nearly four meters tall emerged. A human face was vaguely visible on its trunk. It was the deity worshipped by the Land of Trees. Sasame didn't need to sense it to perceive the massive amount of natural energy and faint spiritual power. This spiritual power should be a special Yin Release power formed by people's belief in the Tree God. In other words, the local deities of this world were composed of natural energy and Yin Release. No wonder they couldn't defeat Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. She possessed Yin, Yang, and the five elements—seven attributes in total. In terms of being a deity, she was the true deity.
While Sasame was slightly stunned, six more strangely shaped deities appeared. They surrounded Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, as if they would kill her in the next second. Sasame narrowed his eyes. Kill her? Definitely not. He even doubted if these seven deities could last ten seconds against Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. But no matter what, he and Kentaro's group were now alone.
"A snake! A huge snake!" A panicked cry came from the Divine Princess Army. Sasame immediately turned around and saw a giant snake over ten meters long.
"Finally here?" He wasn't surprised at all.
Body Flicker Technique! Sasame immediately appeared in front of the giant snake, clenched his fist, and punched it directly.
Chakra Enhanced Strength! The surging power completely unleashed. A scream rang out. The giant snake's massive body slid backward, leaving a gash in the ground.
"So strong!" Kentaro and the others stared in awe. They could understand the Divine Princess being strong. But Sasame, who looked like an ordinary human like them, was also excessively strong? Many immediately thought of the reason. It was undoubtedly the Divine Princess's grace.
The Great Snake Sage in the distance had a rather ugly expression. Although Sasame had displayed his Sage Body in front of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, or rather, often sparred with the two Ōtsutsuki brothers, they didn't know that. After all, they dared not approach the Land of Ancestors' palace. It was a forbidden area within a forbidden area. They would definitely be discovered by Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
"Something's wrong!" The Great Sage Toad jumped up in fright. He had thought Sasame would at most be a little stronger than the Divine Princess Army. Before, he had observed from a distance and couldn't see clearly, but now he finally had a chance to examine him up close. He immediately discovered that Sasame's body contained immense chakra.
"How is that possible?!" The Great Sage Toad's face was filled with disbelief. "How could that woman, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, share so much chakra with an ordinary person? What is their relationship?!" He couldn't understand. For so many years, they had secretly observed Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and generally understood her personality. Whatever she did, she always thought of absorbing chakra to strengthen herself. This included planting trees or the current Divine Princess Army. Essentially, it was not out of kindness or compassion. But Sasame's appearance shattered the Great Sage Toad's understanding.
"Now is not the time to talk about this," the Great Snake Sage said urgently. "If we don't act now, my clan members will be beaten to death!"
The Great Sage Toad immediately leaped up, swinging his palm in mid-air. An invisible wave of air swept out. Sasame lightly dodged the attack. The spot where he had just stood exploded, revealing a huge handprint. The power of Sage Art using pure natural energy is indeed good. Sasame looked at the Great Sage Toad. According to the original setting, the Great Sage Toad's strength was not inferior to the Sage of Six Paths. Although it hadn't been fully demonstrated, Sasame couldn't let his guard down.
I can also use Sage Art. Sasame clapped his hands together, entering Sage Mode. The Great Sage Toad was immediately stunned. What the hell? Am I hallucinating?
Sage Art: Gate of the Great God! Sasame seized the moment of its distraction and immediately launched an attack. A red torii gate descended from the sky, instantly suppressing the Great Sage Toad.
"How do you know Sage Art?!" Even though the Great Sage Toad was pressed into the ground, it couldn't hide its shock. Sage Art, or rather, natural energy, had always been their privilege. Humans had never mastered it. Now, a human who could use Sage Art suddenly appeared; how could it not be shocked? And the Sage Mode he used, could it be the mixed mode of natural energy and chakra that the Slug Sage mentioned? If the three of them hadn't just discussed it, the Great Sage Toad would have suspected there was an internal spy.
Sasame didn't bother to answer its question, forming hand seals.
Sage Art: Water Release: Water Severing Wave! He immediately increased the intensity. Sasame immediately spewed a highly compressed jet of water from his mouth, like the sharpest sword, cutting through everything it encountered. Feeling the fatal crisis, the Great Sage Toad's mouth immediately puffed up.
Croak! A huge sound wave, centered on it, shattered the torii gate. Without another word, it fled, instantly teleporting back to Mount Myōboku. Sasame's water jet continued unabated, cutting through the previously injured giant snake. As for the Great Snake Sage, it had also vanished without a trace.
Sasame was slightly stunned. Am I that scary? But he quickly realized something and turned to see Ōtsutsuki Kaguya. She stared at the strange eye shadow on Sasame's face and extended her hand. Chakra circulated within his body. Only after confirming he was not injured did she nod.
Sasame secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought Ōtsutsuki Kaguya would ask about Sage Mode, but she was only concerned about him. Hmm, it seems his strategy is having an effect.
