Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Bonds of Power and Secrets Unveiled
Kaguya cradled her daughter, Yukari, in her lap, leaning against the sturdy bedframe. A gentle smile graced her face as she explained the true nature of the power she had awakened—the Rinnegan. Yukari's eyes widened in awe as Kaguya unveiled the name of the third eye, the Rinnesharigan, a remarkable ability attainable only through the consumption of the fruit of the divine tree. Kaguya revealed her own forehead adorned with the crimson third eye, its nine tomoes with ripples capturing Yukari's attention.
Overwhelmed by her mother's incredible power, Yukari couldn't contain her excitement and blurted out, "Wow, Mom is so cool!" Instantly embarrassed by her outburst, she turned away, cheeks reddening with embarrassment. Kaguya couldn't help but feel a surge of pride at her daughter's innocence and naivety—a rare quality within their Otsutsuki clan. Observing Yukari's reaction, Kaguya thought to herself, "Well, someone's easily impressed."
Curiosity sparked within Kaguya, and she turned to face her daughter, questioning the strength of her Rinnegan. Yukari's ears perked up, sensing the opportunity to impress her mother. With a swift movement, she reached out her hand, causing a dark portal to materialize. With confidence, she pushed her hand through the portal, only to emerge from another dimension at the edge of the bed. "Mom, I can open portals and travel to any point as long as I've seen or visited the place," Yukari proclaimed, a smug look adorning her face.
Though Kaguya was aware of the potential manifestation of Yukari's own dimension in the future, she couldn't help but feel a sense of joy that her daughter had inherited one of her abilities. Yukari blushed in embarrassment, relieved that her mother wasn't upset about the accidental damage caused. Kaguya expressed her pride by giving her daughter a quick peck on the cheek.
Embracing the opportunity to pass on her knowledge, Kaguya began explaining the vast scope of her understanding and introduced Yukari to the intricate abilities of Ameniominaka, the name of the power she possessed.
Suddenly her mother emphasized the importance of trust and secrecy, cautioning Yukari to never divulge the secrets she was about to reveal, not even to her brothers. Yukari nodded, understanding the gravity of the moment and knowing that this secret would remain with her for life. Seeing her daughter's unwavering trust, Kaguya knew she had made the right decision.
With a gentle voice, Kaguya unraveled the hidden truths of their heritage, starting with the powerful Otsutsuki clan to which they both belonged. She explained how their clan traversed the vast universe in search of the God Tree—a tree that consumed life and natural energy to produce the coveted chakra fruit. These fruits contained the energy and biological information of the planet, enabling the clan to evolve and advance their species.
Kaguya revealed that God Trees were born from the Ten-Tails, acting as the seedling for these magnificent arboreal beings. To flourish and reach their full potential, the seedlings required the sacrifice of an Otsutsuki life, although it was not always necessary. The strength and vitality of the sacrifice directly influenced the power and potency of the chakra fruit it produced.
Kaguya shared the painful truth that she was destined to be sacrificed, being the princess of the branch family of the clan. However, she defied this fate by ambushing her partner, taking the fruit for herself. Overwhelmed by a sense of guilt, Kaguya's eyes welled up with tears as she blamed herself, saying, "I'm sorry, sweetie. The clan will come and punish us and our family because of me."
Quick to console her distraught mother, Yukari spoke up, "No, Mom, it's not your fault." She hugged Kaguya tightly, reassuring her that they would face any consequences together as a family, reminding her of their strength. Determined to support her mother, Yukari declared, "Mom, you said you'd teach me to fight so we can face this threat together. I'll help you in every way I can."
Moved by her daughter's unwavering support, Kaguya's sadness transformed into a gentle smile. She turned to face Yukari, assuring her that she would indeed train her and presenting a plan to defeat the impending threat when she grew older. Kaguya explained that the next members of their clan, who would eventually replace them on this planet, wouldn't arrive for another 1,000 years. This knowledge provided them with ample time to prepare and train for the challenges that lay ahead. With unwavering determination in her eyes, Kaguya began outlining her training regimen and defense strategies for their future battles.
After a day filled with emotional highs and lows, Yukari, unable to contain her curiosity any longer, asked, "Mom, where are we? This place looks so cool!" Kaguya revealed that they were currently in one of her dimensions, residing within her magnificent castle. Yukari's eyes widened with excitement at the mention of a castle, demanding an immediate tour of the location. Amused by her daughter's enthusiasm, Kaguya floated towards her, effortlessly lifting her up to carry her on a grand tour, unperturbed by the earlier incident. As they ventured through the castle's grand halls, Yukari's amazement grew with each passing moment, captivated by the intricate architecture and lavish decor. Kaguya watched with a warm smile as her daughter's excitement flourished.
Finally, they arrived at the dining room, where they witnessed puppets diligently setting a vast array of dishes on the table. Yukari's amazement peaked at the sight of these puppets flawlessly imitating human actions. Eager to understand, she turned to her mother and asked, "Mom, what are these puppets?" Kaguya explained that these puppets were a branch of shinjutsu, created by their clan to aid in guarding the God Tree. Taking their seats at the table, they indulged in a graceful and satisfying meal, leaving Yukari feeling content and at peace. After dinner, Kaguya informed Yukari of the training regimen that would commence the following day, advising her to get some rest while she visited her brothers to assure them of her safety.
Yukari stood up and floated in mid-air, startled by her newfound ability. In response to her astonishment, Kaguya explained that Yukari's Otsutsuki DNA had become more potent with the awakening of her Rinnegan. Reassuring her daughter, Kaguya expressed her amazement and pride, stating, "You are my daughter, and your abilities never cease to astound me." Blushing, Yukari hurried to her room, her heart filled with anticipation for the training that awaited her. As Kaguya watched her daughter leave, she felt an overwhelming surge of emotions, grateful that she could experience the love and joy of her family—a concept foreign to the Otsutsuki clan. This newfound determination to protect her loved ones burned even brighter within her.
