Chapter 1224: Please, Lord Imu, Help Me! (Two-in-One)
Beneath the vast and deep cosmos.
In the mid-air above a certain location on the Ninja World Moon, a circular space channel suddenly appeared.
"Lord Imu!"
Just as Imu quickly emerged from the passage, he heard a very familiar voice.
As expected, it was Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
He was the user of 'Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei', and immediately felt the sealing fluctuate.
He immediately rushed over to check the situation, but unexpectedly encountered Imu coming out from inside.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo was extremely shocked that Imu could freely enter and exit the 'Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei' that he and his brother had teamed up to cast.
The key point was that this was only a clone of Imu, could you believe it?!
However, his gaze was immediately drawn to Little Kaguya, who was 'hanging' tightly onto Imu's clothes corner.
At this moment, Little Kaguya was still tightly clutching the corner of his clothes, afraid that Imu would really abandon her.
Her pale little face was full of stubbornness and seriousness, and combined with her current body size, she looked very childish.
Where was the slightest bit of the dignity of the 'Goddess of the Rabbit'?
"Mo... Mother..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo was dumbfounded, and subconsciously murmured in a low voice.
Could the sealing have been broken?
No, he could feel that the 'Chibaku Tensei' was still intact.
Moreover, to awaken Mother's consciousness, 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' was a necessary condition.
And 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' required the 'Rinne Sharingan'.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the court became extremely strange.
Imu first lowered his head to glance at the little pendant he had acquired.
Then he looked up at the dumbfounded and bewildered Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
"She is a mental construct of Kaguya, considered a clone, but she has no strength."
However, he also noticed that this Little Kaguya seemed very reliant on his Colorless Haki.
"Hagoromo..."
Little Kaguya, who had finally climbed up Imu's shoulder along his arm, was also stunned the moment she saw her eldest son.
Logically, having inherited all the memory of her main body.
She should be very angry right now, and it wouldn't be strange for her to curse him as a profligate son.
But although Little Kaguya had some anger in her heart.
It was also mixed with many complex emotions such as longing, disappointment, mercy, and delight.
In fact, she truly regarded Hagoromo and Hamura as her children.
Unfortunately, these two filial impiety sons actually betrayed their mother for outsiders.
This made Kaguya unable to understand, especially the Hagoromo before her eyes.
What was that talk about believing in love back then? Was there no love between mother and son?
She loved them, and only wanted to become stronger, absorb more Chakra, and protect her seedbed and her family of three.
But they loved those irrelevant subordinates, who were like ants, more.
Then they turned around and said she didn't believe in love, didn't understand love?
Who gave birth to you, who raised you, who gave you the strength you possess?!
Little Kaguya's thoughts surged in her heart.
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt, and her anger also rose. Her little face tightened, and she let out an angry shout.
"Profligate Son! Kneel down!"
But this angry shout sounded more like a little girl whining in Imu's ear.
"Mother!"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's expression was ugly, but he still bent his knees and knelt down.
But who would have thought that as soon as he knelt down, he felt a collision at his knees.
He looked down and found a layer of light golden air layer beneath him.
Colorless Haki?!
Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked up sharply at Imu in disbelief.
Good heavens, was this to make him kneel more firmly?
I... I really thank you!
Imu showed no expression towards his gaze, and listened expressionlessly as Little Kaguya cursed Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Calling him a filial impiety son, an animal, an idiot, a profligate son with every breath.
There was nothing she could do, she had no strength now, so she could only vent with her mouth.
As for resisting, wasn't Imu right beside her?
She didn't believe Hagoromo would dare to be presumptuous!
Since the Ninja World had already been conquered by the World Government, this profligate son should also have submitted.
Kaguya was actually very shocked by this in her heart.
Back then, she couldn't even defeat these two animals teamed up.
Imu could actually suppress these brothers and make them obedient?
Didn't this mean Imu was even stronger than she was at her peak!
"Mother, your actions back then were wrong. I tried to dissuade you, but you wouldn't listen. For the sake of all beings in the Ninja World, we could only do this..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo finally couldn't help but retort.
"What do those lower creatures have to do with you? You and I are mother and son, we are Otsutsuki!" Little Kaguya said angrily.
"We were born in the Ninja World, so naturally we are also members of the Ninja World. They are not some lower creatures, but humans."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo retorted again.
"Even if we need to gather Chakra, we should use other methods. I... I have already thought of a method. We can wait for them to die naturally and then absorb the Chakra from their souls!"
He felt that his method was hundreds of times better and more merciful and humane than the other party directly using the Divine Tree to drain the Chakra of living persons and turning them into White Zetsu.
It's just that the efficiency might be a bit lower, and it would be even slower without war.
But history has proven that humans who master ninjutsu cannot be peaceful.
They will always have war because of various matters, especially the issue of resources.
In fact, resources are also closely related to Otsutsuki Kaguya.
Think about it, if the Divine Tree hadn't been planted.
Even if there was still desert in the Land of Wind, the area wouldn't be as large as it is now.
However, recently, due to Aramaki's diligence, the greenery and soil within the border of the Land of Wind have been increasing.
At least the people living in Loulan can no longer see the golden sand dunes.
Now the citizens of Loulan, the former Land of Wind, and the ninja from Sunagakure, have already called Aramaki the 'God of Nature', loving and worshipping him from their inner heart.
"Absorb the Chakra after death?"
Little Kaguya didn't quite understand Hagoromo's words.
Immediately, Hagoromo quickly revealed all his methods and ideas.
He didn't know if it was an illusion.
Imu always felt that there was a hint of complacency in his words.
Like a child showing off how smart he is to his mother.
Mom, look how great I am, praise me quickly!
But after Little Kaguya heard Hagoromo's words, her little brows slowly furrowed.
"Then it has been a thousand years now, is the Chakra you have collected enough to produce a fruit?"
"Uh, this..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer, because he didn't know either.
This kind of matter could only be known by summoning the Divine Tree and pouring the Chakra from the Pure Land into it.
However, he felt that the Chakra was still not enough.
After all, the Chakra provided by the souls of ninja who died over a thousand years, no matter what, could not be more than what the Divine Tree directly extracted from planet energy, or what was absorbed by sending large numbers of living persons to the Divine Tree every year.
According to his method, accumulating enough Chakra amount for the Divine Tree to produce a fruit would definitely require more time than a thousand years.
It might be fifteen hundred years, or it might be two thousand years.
Of course, this was a speculation based on the situation in the Ninja World before.
Now with the support of the World Government, not only will the population in the Ninja World surge in the future.
Otherworlders willing to possess Chakra will likely also appear.
Didn't Lord Imu say before?
The World Government will not actively promote the popularization of Chakra, but it will not refuse others' applications to possess a Chakra physique.
Although this technology is still under research, given the level of the Biochemical Research Institute, it shouldn't take too long.
After all, they can even produce enhanced serum that allows Otherworlders to possess the physique of Sea Star people.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo felt that the speed at which the Pure Land collects Chakra in the future.
Will definitely gradually catch up to the speed at which the Divine Tree directly extracts planet energy, or even surpass it!
How can one planet in the Ninja World compare to the quantity of beings from ten thousand worlds?
Not to mention this method is sustainable and won't cause any destruction.
The prospect can be said to be full of light.
Of course, the premise is that the World Government must continue to exist.
Otsutsuki Hagoromo spoke all these ideas.
Causing Little Kaguya to fall into contemplation, and also making Imu very happy to hear.
The other party had clearly decided to stand on the stance of the World Government.
Imu was considering in his heart whether to give the Ninja World more support.
Before, he had scruples about the existence of the Ōtsutsuki God.
But now that the other party had left this Ninja World universe, there was no need for any more concern.
As for Otsutsuki Kaguya, if she was disobedient, she would only be a small trouble.
The big trouble was the Otsutsuki Civilization.
But trouble is something that can be solved sooner or later, as long as you put in the effort.
"So in thirty-six years, how do you plan to face those three Otsutsuki?"
Little Kaguya stared coldly at Otsutsuki Hagoromo: "According to my method, there would already be five to ten fruits by now!"
Indeed.
This magical planet in the Ninja World could allow the Divine Tree to produce a fruit in less than a hundred years.
So in this thousand years of time, five fruits would definitely be possible.
It's just that if they really did that, the entire Ninja World would turn into the 'Land of Wind'.
As for ten fruits.
That would depend on whether this planet could withstand it.
But Otsutsuki Kaguya didn't care either.
If she could really eat five or more fruits, what was sacrificing a planet?
At worst, she would just leave.
"About that..."
Regarding his mother's question, Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked at Imu, who had been silent.
Imu raised an eyebrow, naturally understanding the other party's meaning, and then said indifferently:
"Since the Ninja World is already under the rule of the World Government, and Hagoromo has also submitted to Imu, naturally no other force will be allowed to attack it."
"Kaguya, now you no longer need to face the threat of the Otsutsuki Civilization alone. The World Government will help you."
Little Kaguya heard this and asked: "Do you really understand how strong the Otsutsuki Clan is?"
You should know that her main body had only eaten one fruit produced by the Divine Tree.
While the higher-ups of the Otsutsuki, even staying at home, had these lower-level clansmen delivering fruits one by one to them.
And the higher-ups only needed to condense the leftover, undigested Chakra into 'Ten-Tails' or 'medicinal pills' and give them to them, allowing them to continue going out to find suitable planets to plant trees.
Although each fruit takes a thousand years as a unit of time, and suitable planets are also very difficult to find.
But over these many years, the number of fruits eaten by those higher-ups must not be small.
"Then do you understand how strong the World Government and Imu are?" Imu asked back with a smile.
Of course he understood that, without Truth making a move, he and the World Government currently would likely not be able to defeat the entire Otsutsuki Civilization.
But the first group of three Otsutsuki Clan members wouldn't arrive for another thirty-six years.
To what extent would the World Government grow in thirty-six years?
By then, who knows how many Warrior Gods at Garp's current level there would be!
And to what level would he himself become strong?
In short, there was plenty of time for the World Government to develop, and he felt there was nothing to worry about.
"Hmph, then I'd like to see just how powerful your World Government is!"
Little Kaguya turned her little face away and stopped speaking.
In fact, she deeply hoped that the World Government was truly strong enough to resist the Otsutsuki Civilization.
This way, she wouldn't have to live in fear and worry every day.
To be honest, she actually disliked fighting very much and preferred a peaceful life.
Backstabbing Isshiki back then was just because she didn't want to be eaten by the Ten-Tails.
Although she could resurrect using 'Karma'.
But it wasn't without risk; on the contrary, the risk was actually quite significant.
If the body and soul of the 'Vessel' marked with 'Karma' couldn't withstand the increasingly powerful Chakra as the 'Data Unfreezing' occurred.
It would cause the 'Black Karma' to turn into 'White Karma'.
In this situation, although her 'Data', which is the Otsutsuki Bloodline and Chakra, would still remain within the 'Vessel'.
Her own consciousness would completely disappear, which is what is called death.
And if the 'Vessel' survived, they would become a new Otsutsuki Clan member.
Simply put, consider a person as a hard drive.
If their memory capacity is insufficient to store all the data of an Otsutsuki Clan member, it will cause the body possession of this Otsutsuki Clan member to fail.
And the person themselves will continue to possess this data, while the remaining data that cannot be accommodated temporarily will continue to stay in the 'White Karma'.
This 'White Karma' is equivalent to a portable 'cloud space'.
When they become stronger, meaning their memory capacity further expands.
The 'White Karma' will continue to 'unfreeze data', which means inputting the data into the body.
Until all the data is 'downloaded', the 'White Karma' automatically disappears.
Representing that they have completely become an Otsutsuki Clan member!
So the condition of the 'Vessel' is really important.
The problem was that Kaguya had understood that there were no suitable candidates in the Ninja World at that time.
Even though she hadn't eaten the fruit yet at that time, nor had she combined with the Ten-Tails, her strength wasn't particularly strong.
It was simply that the physique of the people in this world was too weak.
If she were to forcefully place the 'Black Karma', Kaguya didn't believe she could successfully resurrect.
But Otsutsuki Isshiki at that time didn't care at all. In his opinion, Kaguya was just a sacrifice to feed the Ten-Tails.
As for whether she could resurrect, what did that matter to him? At worst, he would just take away an Otsutsuki Candidate Clansman.
They actually often did this.
Bringing these natives whose 'Data' hadn't fully unfrozen yet to the Otsutsuki Homeworld.
Then cultivating their strength and helping them become new clansmen.
After finding a natural planet suitable for planting trees, they would take them along again to feed the Ten-Tails, repeating this cycle.
If they were lucky, and there were living beings on that planet capable of withstanding the 'Black Karma', then it would be considered a successful resurrection.
But if they were unlucky, then they would just go for another round~
In the eyes of Otsutsuki Isshiki and these main family members, the fate of branch family members like Kaguya was just like this.
Moreover, if they encountered a strong enemy or were severely injured, they would have to turn into 'medicinal pills' at any time, to be eaten by them to enhance their strength and recover from their injuries.
It was very cold and cruel, but this was the Otsutsuki Clan.
They said they were one race, but in fact, everyone was extremely selfish and indifferent.
They only cared about whether they could gain interests.
But who knew that someone like Otsutsuki Kaguya, who dared to resist the rules, would appear?
Completely unimaginable!
This was also the reason why Otsutsuki Isshiki was successfully sneak attacked.
He had never thought that Kaguya would backstab him. One must know that in the 'Data' of the Otsutsuki.
There were inherent precepts that made every clansman recognize and obey these rules.
That is, clansmen cannot kill each other!
Therefore, Otsutsuki Kaguya is considered a strange example, and the first case in tens of thousands of years.
But Kaguya, driven by a strong survival instinct.
Ultimately chose to attack Isshiki, and was extremely lucky to succeed!
"Speaking of which, have you two brothers found Otsutsuki Isshiki?"
Imu asked Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who was kneeling before him.
This made Little Kaguya, who was standing on his shoulder, frown.
What did he mean, Otsutsuki Isshiki was still alive?
Speaking of which, Isshiki did indeed escape at that time.
However, at that time, she felt that with Isshiki's injuries from losing half his body, it was unlikely he would survive.
As for why she didn't continue the pursuit, it was mainly because she herself was also severely injured at that time.
After all, it was just a successful sneak attack, not a one-hit kill.
Plus, Isshiki's strength was much stronger than hers, and there was a high possibility of being killed in return.
"I am very ashamed. Even with the intelligence you provided, we still haven't found Jigen."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo replied with an ugly expression.
"Then try this."
Imu wasn't surprised either. He flipped out a golden shining rope from his palm.
It was precisely the Kōkinjō that Otsutsuki Hagoromo had given him before.
"Imu has enhanced it using alchemy and Palapan's divine Philosopher's Stone."
"Now it can automatically track the target of the user's hatred, and its restraint strength depends on the bound person's malice towards the user. The stronger the malice, the harder it is to break free."
Receiving the floating Kōkinjō, Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked at it with some difficulty.
"Lord Imu, but I don't have much malice towards Otsutsuki Isshiki, nor towards Jigen..."
"Give it to me!"
At this moment, Little Kaguya on Imu's shoulder shouted.
Thinking of how Otsutsuki Isshiki had forced her to be eaten by the Ten-Tails back then, intense malice surged into her heart like a tide.
Before, she thought he was dead, so she let go of the resentment in her heart.
Now that she knew he wasn't dead, she had to kill him!
"Also, who is Jigen?"
"He is Isshiki's 'Vessel'." Imu said in a flat tone.
"So that's it!" Little Kaguya gritted her teeth, then looked at Imu beside her: "Help me eliminate Isshiki, I believe my main body will be happy about this!"
Imu didn't respond, just looked at the tiny her expressionlessly.
Little Kaguya was startled, and immediately understood his meaning.
But this made her very shy, after all, it was in front of Hagoromo.
But ultimately, her hatred for Isshiki overcame everything.
Under Otsutsuki Hagoromo's astonished gaze, she lowered her head, clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, and spoke again with some difficulty.
"Please, Lord Imu, help me..."
There was nothing she could do, she had no strength at all now, and she didn't quite believe Hagoromo could defeat Isshiki.
The corner of Imu's mouth curved up.
"Granted!"
Many thanks to the reader from Hong Kong for tipping Nerona Imu 100 Qidian Coins! *Bow*! Thank you for your support and encouragement!
(End of Chapter)

"Mo... Mother..."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo was dumbfounded, and subconsciously murmured in a low voice.
Could the sealing have been broken?
No, he could feel that the 'Chibaku Tensei' was still intact.
Moreover, to awaken Mother's consciousness, 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' was a necessary condition.
And 'Infinite Tsukuyomi' required the 'Rinne Sharingan'.

"Mother!"
Otsutsuki Hagoromo's expression was ugly, but he still bent his knees and knelt down.
But who would have thought that as soon as he knelt down, he felt a collision at his knees.
He looked down and found a layer of light golden air layer beneath him.
Colorless Haki?!
Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked up sharply at Imu in disbelief.
Good heavens, was this to make him kneel more firmly?
I... I really thank you!
Imu showed no expression towards his gaze, and listened expressionlessly as Little Kaguya cursed Otsutsuki Hagoromo.
Calling him a filial impiety son, an animal, an idiot, a profligate son with every breath.

And if the 'Vessel' survived, they would become a new Otsutsuki Clan member.
Simply put, consider a person as a hard drive.
If their memory capacity is insufficient to store all the data of an Otsutsuki Clan member, it will cause the body possession of this Otsutsuki Clan member to fail.
And the person themselves will continue to possess this data, while the remaining data that cannot be accommodated temporarily will continue to stay in the 'White Karma'.
This 'White Karma' is equivalent to a portable 'cloud space'.
When they become stronger, meaning their memory capacity further expands.
The 'White Karma' will continue to 'unfreeze data', which means inputting the data into the body.
Until all the data is 'downloaded', the 'White Karma' automatically disappears.
Representing that they have completely become an Otsutsuki Clan member!
So the condition of the 'Vessel' is really important.
The problem was that Kaguya had understood that there were no suitable candidates in the Ninja World at that time.
Even though she hadn't eaten the fruit yet at that time, nor had she combined with the Ten-Tails, her strength wasn't particularly strong.
It was simply that the physique of the people in this world was too weak.
If she were to forcefully place the 'Black Karma', Kaguya didn't believe she could successfully resurrect.
But Otsutsuki Isshiki at that time didn't care at all. In his opinion, Kaguya was just a sacrifice to feed the Ten-Tails.
As for whether she could resurrect, what did that matter to him? At worst, he would just take away an Otsutsuki Candidate Clansman.
They actually often did this.
Bringing these natives whose 'Data' hadn't fully unfrozen yet to the Otsutsuki Homeworld.
Then cultivating their strength and helping them become new clansmen.
After finding a natural planet suitable for planting trees, they would take them along again to feed the Ten-Tails, repeating this cycle.
If they were lucky, and there were living beings on that planet capable of withstanding the 'Black Karma', then it would be considered a successful resurrection.
But if they were unlucky, then they would just go for another round~
In the eyes of Otsutsuki Isshiki and these main family members, the fate of branch family members like Kaguya was just like this.
Moreover, if they encountered a strong enemy or were severely injured, they would have to turn into 'medicinal pills' at any time, to be eaten by them to enhance their strength and recover from their injuries.
It was very cold and cruel, but this was the Otsutsuki Clan.
They said they were one race, but in fact, everyone was extremely selfish and indifferent.
They only cared about whether they could gain interests.
But who knew that someone like Otsutsuki Kaguya, who dared to resist the rules, would appear?
Completely unimaginable!
This was also the reason why Otsutsuki Isshiki was successfully sneak attacked.
He had never thought that Kaguya would backstab him. One must know that in the 'Data' of the Otsutsuki.
There were inherent precepts that made every clansman recognize and obey these rules.
That is, clansmen cannot kill each other!
Therefore, Otsutsuki Kaguya is considered a strange example, and the first case in tens of thousands of years.
But Kaguya, driven by a strong survival instinct.
Ultimately chose to attack Isshiki, and was extremely lucky to succeed!
"Speaking of which, have you two brothers found Otsutsuki Isshiki?"
Imu asked Otsutsuki Hagoromo, who was kneeling before him.
This made Little Kaguya, who was standing on his shoulder, frown.
What did he mean, Otsutsuki Isshiki was still alive?
Speaking of which, Isshiki did indeed escape at that time.
However, at that time, she felt that with Isshiki's injuries from losing half his body, it was unlikely he would survive.
As for why she didn't continue the pursuit, it was mainly because she herself was also severely injured at that time.
After all, it was just a successful sneak attack, not a one-hit kill.
Plus, Isshiki's strength was much stronger than hers, and there was a high possibility of being killed in return.
"I am very ashamed. Even with the intelligence you provided, we still haven't found Jigen."
Otsutsuki Hagoromo replied with an ugly expression.
"Then try this."
Imu wasn't surprised either. He flipped out a golden shining rope from his palm.
It was precisely the Kōkinjō that Otsutsuki Hagoromo had given him before.
"Imu has enhanced it using alchemy and Palapan's divine Philosopher's Stone."
"Now it can automatically track the target of the user's hatred, and its restraint strength depends on the bound person's malice towards the user. The stronger the malice, the harder it is to break free."
Receiving the floating Kōkinjō, Otsutsuki Hagoromo looked at it with some difficulty.
"Lord Imu, but I don't have much malice towards Otsutsuki Isshiki, nor towards Jigen..."
"Give it to me!"
At this moment, Little Kaguya on Imu's shoulder shouted.
Thinking of how Otsutsuki Isshiki had forced her to be eaten by the Ten-Tails back then, intense malice surged into her heart like a tide.
Before, she thought he was dead, so she let go of the resentment in her heart.
Now that she knew he wasn't dead, she had to kill him!
"Also, who is Jigen?"
"He is Isshiki's 'Vessel'." Imu said in a flat tone.
"So that's it!" Little Kaguya gritted her teeth, then looked at Imu beside her: "Help me eliminate Isshiki, I believe my main body will be happy about this!"
Imu didn't respond, just looked at the tiny her expressionlessly.
Little Kaguya was startled, and immediately understood his meaning.
But this made her very shy, after all, it was in front of Hagoromo.
But ultimately, her hatred for Isshiki overcame everything.
Under Otsutsuki Hagoromo's astonished gaze, she lowered her head, clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, and spoke again with some difficulty.
"Please, Lord Imu, help me..."
There was nothing she could do, she had no strength at all now, and she didn't quite believe Hagoromo could defeat Isshiki.
The corner of Imu's mouth curved up.
"Granted!"
