The ice and snow space where Kaguya is.
When Ji Xing appeared in front of him across space, Gaomaru was a little stunned, but his old face soon changed to a look of relief and joy.
"It's already early, Ishiba. It has become more and more difficult for me to channel you the last few times. I guessed that this day is not far away. It seems that my mission of helping you establish a connection with the goddess Kaguya has been completed. I can finally return to Miaomu Mountain." Now we can finally talk about old times."
“Reminiscing about old times?” Ji Xing looked at it in confusion: “Haven’t we already reminisced about old times many times? Still doing so?”
Gamamaru closed his eyes: "No. It's been almost three years. Every time I channel you, you are eager to find Kaguya, and then tell me that we must talk together next time."
"You are slandering." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Isn't this how we reminisce about the past?"
Gamamaru was startled, it seemed to make sense?
“Well, let’s not talk about it for now. I’ll go find Kaguya and take you back to Mt. Miaomu.”
“…” Gamamaru was silent, watching Ji Xing twinkling and disappearing, muttering something unknown in his mouth.
…
In the castle, Kaguya's white eyes could not help but look at Ji Xing who suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
Over the past two years, she has experienced firsthand that every time Ji Xing comes back, his strength will improve significantly, but this time is different.
This time Ji Xing just stood in front of her, and she could feel a vigorous power. It felt like... just like when she just ate the fruit, her life essence jumped up!
Have you finally reached this point?
Watching and helping Ji Xing grow from an ordinary person to this level, she had an indescribable feeling. Unfortunately, she didn't understand what "nurture" meant.
Ji Xing smiled and said, "My Lady Goddess, let's go outside to discuss and learn from each other?"
This is something the two of them must do every time. Of course, Kaguya will not refuse this time. She said hello and the two quickly went to the castle to start diplomacy.
The crackling sound of collision soon reached the ears of the nine tailed beasts on the first floor of the castle. Some of them were sleeping and some were playing cards. When they heard the sound, they neatly put their heads to the window.
“Huh? Father is here?”
“Why didn’t you feel it this time?”
“Father is competing with Mother again. Do we want to watch the battle?”
"Don't go. Every time I go to watch the battle, I will be knocked unconscious by the aftermath. Sometimes I will be fainted for several days. Mother, really, I can't beat my father in a sparring match, so I use so much strength. I don't know that my father hurts me." It doesn’t hurt…”
“Hey, Shukaku, you dare to complain about mother, I want to tell her!”
“Damn it! You guy...”
A few little guys started laughing, and at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew on them, ruffling their hair, and at the same time, there was a dull collision in the distance that cracked the ice crystal window!
“Huh? Why is it so fast this time…”
咚咚咚咚—
Then the muffled sounds of collisions focused their attention, and they saw the fists and elbows of their parents in the distance colliding rapidly like attacking enemies. Strong winds shot out, and the falling snowflakes around the two of them were swept around, forming a graceful ball. Flying like petals, completely shattering all the windows of the castle!
With the crackling sound, the two figures quickly floated into the sky, fighting non-stop, until they hit each other high in the sky. The nine tailed beasts looked at each other, and hurriedly ran out of the castle and looked at the sky.
At an altitude of two thousand meters, Ji Xing and Kaguya were suspended relative to each other. Ji Xing condensed a sword of yin and yang escape with his hand, and Kaguya found the ashes of a common killer.
“Kendo-Flash Cut!”
“Kendo-Nifu!”
One slashed down from above, and the other lifted up from below. The two weapons cut through the air and intertwined, making a crisp sound, causing Kaguya's white hair and white robe to flutter, and Ji Xing's black robe to flutter!
–
As the sword blade trembled, circles of black impact ripples surged out, cutting off the falling snowflakes and turning the ice and snow space into two colors!
Ji Xing, who was at the center of the collision, smiled, Kaguya also slightly curved the corners of her mouth, and the nine tailed beasts below all opened their mouths and lined up in a row to look cute.
"It's so awesome, Father...even more awesome than that time when he took us to fight!"
“Is the mother going to be defeated this time?”
“Impossible! Mother is the most powerful!”
“But Father is also very powerful!”
“That’s not as powerful as my mother!”
Jiuwei listened to the childish quarrel between his younger brothers and sisters, curled his lips in boredom, and watched his parents fighting swords in the sky with concentration. The evenly matched fierce battle continued, and after a few minutes, some ideas came into his head.
‘In this case, father won’t need my help next time when we face a strong enemy... This is good. Being drained of chakra is uncomfortable... Well, this is indeed good...'
It suddenly turned its head angrily: "It's so noisy! Can you guys watch quietly?"
The other eight were stunned, looking at each other, and were about to form a group to resist the Kyuubi, when suddenly a strong sense of shock hit their hearts.
‘Here it comes again…’
How come you forgot this? I was knocked unconscious again by the aftermath of the fight between my mother and my father!
In the sky, the fight between the two has stopped. Ji Xing tested his current strength level - about the same as Kaguya who had just received his training, weaker than the original body, and much weaker than Kaguya who has absorbed a large amount of chakra from one to eight tubes now, but it is confirmed Reach the level of God!
Leave aside the improvement in chakra gained by Kaguya's recovery of the nine tailed beasts, I can basically compete with Kaguya on a par.
This is an important step for him!
Kaguya on the other side was also happy for him. Unlike what she said before, "You are getting stronger, but it's not enough." This time she said, "It's already long ago. You've become strong."
Ji Xing smiled: "Whether it is strong or not will have to be verified through more battles. My lord goddess, shall we continue the next battle?"
Kaguya pursed her lips slightly: "Okay."
The second battle lasted intermittently for two days before stopping. Ji Xing and Kaguya lay side by side on the top of the castle, looking up at the unique night sky in the space, emptying their brains and digesting the aftermath of the battle.
Kaguya enjoys coexisting and fighting with Ji Xing, but after the battle she always quickly returns to her cold demeanor as a goddess, and says rationally: "When you go back this time, are you going to start dealing with them? Your strength is probably enough." , but if Otsutsuki Yamei is unblocked, you still won’t be able to do it now.”
"I know." Ji Xing said, "Don't worry, I have a way. But it's too early to go back now. I will stay here for a few more days this time."
Kaguya's eyes flashed with surprise: "Those people in the ninja world need you very much now, right?"
"No, it's not necessary. It's been almost three years. If you still need me to supervise everything, then I've failed." Ji Xing smiled and held Kaguya in his arms, and extended an invitation to fight again.
…
The ninja world, the capital of fire.
The matter of the evacuation drill has been spread, and people are talking about it in the streets and alleys.
A certain restaurant, in a private room.
Mitani Masana looked at the ninja wearing a Konoha forehead protector across from him with a strange expression: "If I remember correctly, you should be the leader of the Konoha Gin clan, Bei Gin holding the staff, right? Why did you suddenly invite me to join you? Lunch?"
Bei Gin held his staff in silence and said: "I am the secret line developed by Lord Shimura Danzo personally, and I am also one of the top leaders of the Goddess Cult who is most trusted by Lord Danzo. Our ancestors of the Bei Gin clan once followed Lord Shimura Yu to initiate that war." "Rebellion," was killed by Ishiba Mihaya Daimyo himself. With such a relationship, even you don't know my existence."
Seeing Gu Zheng's name showed surprise.
He held his staff and continued: "I was probably the first one to pass on the news of Ishiba's ancestor's resurrection to Lord Shimura Danzo."
Seeing Gu Zhengming frowning, he couldn't help but lean forward a little: "So you are looking for me today..."
“I’m here to persuade you to give up.”
“...Huh?” Seeing Gu Zhengming was startled.
"For more than two years, I have been hiding and observing in secret." Heyin sighed softly with his staff: "With Ishiba's great name, the ninja world is indeed developing in a more harmonious and peaceful direction. Those ninja clans with the blood of the goddess I did not get greater privileges, but suffered certain reductions. I think... if this continues, it will not be bad.
Although the hatred passed down from the past generations makes me want to think that Ishiba has already been pretending, but a disguise that can last forever is not a disguise.
So...I gave up.
Shimura has been rectified. The battle that will determine the fate of the ninja world is about to come. You have not taken any action since the death of Danzo-sama. I think if you are going to do something, you can only do it at this time. And no matter what it is, please give up! "
He looked solemn and said: "Perhaps our Goddess Cult is wrong, and I have the responsibility to end all this. I have asked a close friend that if I lose news or die, a report letter will be sent to the Hokage. Go on, so I hope you can take a good look at everything in the ninja world, give up, give up trying to 'clear up' Shimura's name!"
Seeing that Gu Zhengming's face became serious, he stared at him, and Bian Yin held his staff and looked at each other calmly.
Seeing Gu Zhengming suddenly smiled.
He clapped his palms, and two young men in Konoha ANBU uniforms suddenly flashed to the table, causing Hajiro to stand up in shock with his staff in hand.
“You, you instigated rebellion against Konoha Anbu?!”
"I was incited to rebel." Jian Guzhengming shook his head slightly: "When my father died, the Goddess Cult had five important secrets that were not handed over to me. I only know the five of you, but I don't know your identities. And you are the last one to come. You are looking for me. Your purpose is roughly the same, either to persuade me not to die, or to persuade me to give up."
You...were incited to rebel? Bian Yin held the staff and was stunned for a long time, then suddenly laughed: "The teacher was the first to rebel. It seems that our goddess taught her wrong!"
…
This is a small episode, and it is also a small microcosm of the current situation in the ninja world.
A few days later, during the evacuation drill, commanded by Nara Shikakuyama Chukaiichi, all ninjas took on their own posts to guide the civilians. More than 30 million people in the entire ninja world moved together. There was a small chaos, but no major problems. They worked together. , let the exercise end perfectly!
Ji Xing, on the other hand, stayed in the ice and snow space to fight Kaguya with confidence. He had been defeated countless times and wanted to gain the upper hand this time. Although he still ended up with a small loss, a small loss was no longer considered a defeat.
So he felt refreshed when he said goodbye to Kaguya - because the seals were broken one by one, the seals on Otsutsuki Yamei's body were constantly loosening, and Yamei's chakra was sealed in Kaguya's space to prevent other accidents caused by being too close. , Ji Xing cannot use his space ninjutsu to take her back for the time being.
But there is no rush in these ten or eight days!
"Goddess-sama, I'm leaving now. The next time I see you, I'll probably be in the ninja world."
Kaguya was leaning on the bed, with a rare lazy expression on his face, and nodded slightly.
“Well, it’s already early, see you in the ninja world.”
