Kapitel 316: Chapter 316
"I don't know much about onmyōji," Kaguya began slowly. "Back then, many people tried to cause trouble, even inciting other nations to attack the Land of Ancestors to destroy the God Tree. But by the time they acted, the fruit of the God Tree had ripened. After consuming it, I killed them all—they were too noisy."
She spoke as though recalling a mild annoyance. After consuming the God Tree's fruit, she crushed her enemies effortlessly, establishing herself as a deity among her people. However, Kaguya spent most of her time preparing for the inevitable retaliation from the Ōtsutsuki clan.
"If not for Hagoromo's betrayal," Kaguya continued with a trace of bitterness, "the White Zetsu I cultivated over a thousand years could have produced hundreds of shadow-level warriors. The Ōtsutsuki like Momoshiki and Kinshiki wouldn't have arrived for another millennium, and Isshiki would've been too weak to intervene. My strength would have been unmatched."
Yoichi nodded thoughtfully. "In hindsight, ripping apart Hagoromo for his betrayal seems reasonable from your perspective."
After a pause, Yoichi asked, "What made you decide to have Hagoromo and Hamura in the first place?"
Kaguya froze, then turned her head away. "...That has nothing to do with you!"
"Fine, no need to share," Yoichi replied nonchalantly.
He updated Kaguya on the lack of news about Isshiki and then left her in peace.
The Strategy Guide had repeatedly nudged Yoichi to travel a thousand years back to Kaguya's time, but he had delayed the decision. Now that things in Konoha had settled and he had time, he planned to undertake the journey after finding a suitable beast for his daughter, Yoko.
His primary goal wasn't just exploring Kaguya's past but uncovering the secrets of ancient onmyōdō practices. Unlike the Ōtsutsuki, who relied on the God Tree's fruit and their inherent abilities, the ninjutsu and sealing techniques of this world might have stemmed from indigenous practices.
Yoichi theorized that sealing jutsu, refined by the Uzumaki clan, likely originated from onmyōji traditions rather than the Ōtsutsuki. Verifying this theory required firsthand exploration of that era.
Summoning Another Beast
After dinner with his family, Yoichi brought Yoko and the others to a desolate area beyond the Five Great Nations. He chose a remote desert battlefield once used by Kaguya against her sons for his summoning ritual.
He set up barriers to shield the group before beginning the summoning.
Moments later, a blazing wave of fire surged toward the barrier—a hundred meters high and searing hot enough to incinerate everything in its path.
Yoichi's clone strengthened the barrier, and his original self relayed a grim update. "It seems we've summoned a formidable beast this time—a phoenix, no less!"
The summoned Phoenix of Rebirth, a mythical creature closest to divinity, possessed extraordinary regenerative abilities, far surpassing the luminous dragon, Alsace. Even Yoichi struggled to subdue it within half an hour.
"This is bad," his clone said, carrying Yoko and the others further away. "We need to relocate another 30 kilometers. The phoenix's power is too overwhelming."
Yoichi's original self had to employ his strongest techniques—Truth-Seeking Balls to immobilize it, Kamui to twist its wings, and the fourth level of Thunder Annihilation Mode to deliver devastating blows. Eventually, he forced the phoenix into a massive crater thousands of meters deep.
Even then, the phoenix's body ignited in golden flames, preparing for a rebirth. Yoichi used more Truth-Seeking Balls to pin it down, preventing its revival.
After confirming the phoenix's suppression, the clone brought Yoko forward. With Yoichi's assistance, the phoenix was sealed within her.
As the ritual ended, golden flames erupted from Yoko's body, incinerating her clothes.
"Ah! What's happening?" Yoko exclaimed, covering herself instinctively. The golden flames cloaked her completely, providing an ethereal barrier.
Tsunade, worried, asked, "Is she alright? What's happening to her?"
"She's fine," Yoichi reassured her. "The phoenix is a creature of immense vitality. Its essence is hard to suppress, but with training, Yoko will learn to control it."
He added sternly, "Yoko, you must begin mental discipline immediately. This isn't a trivial matter."
Yoko, smiling cheekily, replied, "I know, Dad! But I want to train with you!"
"Of course, as long as you're safe," Yoichi replied, feeling the strain from the intense battle. Despite absorbing some life energy from the phoenix, his chakra expenditure far exceeded his gains.
...
In the following days, Yoichi summoned a variety of creatures, though none matched the phoenix's power. Most were unsuitable, with two instances summoning magical pigs—creatures prized for their tender, energy-rich meat. He decided to breed them as a food source.
By the tenth day, he exhausted his summoning attempts. The last effort produced a phoenix, but it was a small bird reminiscent of the one from the Harry Potter universe—beautiful but far less useful in combat.
Unable to find a suitable beast for Kimimaro, Yoichi turned his attention to his next goal: returning 1,235 years into the past.
After informing his family of his plans, Yoichi activated Karasuki, the time-travel artifact.
...
"Energy fully charged. Activating 'Karasuki' for time travel," the artifact announced as it transformed into a glowing turtle.
"Take me back 1,235 years," Yoichi instructed.
"Understood. Estimated travel time: one hour," Karasuki replied, and Yoichi found himself in the flow of time, watching the eras rewind.
"A whole hour? That's slow," Yoichi muttered.
Eventually, the journey ended as white light enveloped him.
"Arrival complete: 1,235 years ago. Energy depleted by 93%. Recharge required for another jump," Karasuki reported.
"Almost out of energy, huh? So its limit is about 1,000 years. Karasuki, can you jump a thousand years into the future?"
"Future travel requires ten times the energy of past travel and cannot guarantee the destination aligns with this timeline."
Hearing this, Yoichi shook his head and stowed the artifact.
Taking to the skies, Yoichi surveyed the area. He was over a lush forest, likely near the future site of Konoha.

Kapitel 317: Chapter 317
Yoichi hovered in midair, scanning the area with his sensing jutsu. Suddenly, his focus was drawn to a powerful chakra emanating violently in the distance.
"A battle? No... there's only one chakra source," Yoichi murmured, narrowing his eyes. "Why does it feel so much like Kaguya's chakra?"
Curious and concerned, he soared toward the source. The distance was vast, taking him across the unspoiled landscape of the ancient world. The pristine forests, abundant natural energy, and untouched terrain highlighted how different this era was from his own.
"This planet is truly unique," he mused. "It's no wonder it could nourish two Ten-Tails, sustain powerful sages, and still have enough energy to birth something like the Dragon Vein."
When Yoichi finally arrived at the source of the disturbance, he saw her—Kaguya.
Below him, Kaguya stood surrounded by villagers who bowed and prayed fervently, mistaking her for a divine entity. But Kaguya's expression betrayed her struggle—her chakra flared erratically, distorting the skies with thunderclouds, lightning, and violent winds.
"The Ten-Tails' chakra is overwhelming her," Yoichi realized, watching as Kaguya's aura destabilized.
She clenched her fists, her face twisting in pain. "I'm losing control... If I succumb to the Ten-Tails' consciousness, I might not regain my senses for years..."
At that moment, Yoichi's voice reached her ears.
"Disperse the power," he suggested calmly.
Kaguya froze at the unexpected advice. Her instincts resisted the idea—after all, the Ōtsutsuki clan's obsession with chakra left no room for relinquishing even a fraction of it.
Yet the Ten-Tails' influence clawed at her mind. Desperation outweighed her reservations. Finally, with great reluctance, she followed the mysterious voice's suggestion.
Two spheres of white energy separated from her body. In moments, the energy condensed into two newborns. Their cries pierced the air, startling the villagers who had been praying fervently.
"The goddess has given birth to divine sons!" the villagers exclaimed, awestruck.
"She has heard our prayers!"
The crowd erupted in chants of "Goddess!" and "Divine sons!" as they bowed even lower, reverence flooding their voices.
Kaguya, however, barely spared them a glance. She was focused on the two infants and scanning her surroundings for the source of the voice that had guided her.
The ruler of the land, the Emperor of the Land of Ancestors, arrived with his guards, drawn by the commotion. Upon seeing Kaguya and the children, he quickly knelt before her.
"Divine Goddess," he pleaded, "please, allow us to serve you and your divine children. We shall dedicate all of the Land of Ancestors to your protection and worship."
Kaguya hesitated. She cared little for the mortals' adoration, but her tenuous control over the Ten-Tails made her wary of isolating herself. The villagers' presence might provide a buffer against any unforeseen complications.
"Take care of them," she finally said, gesturing to the infants.
Her assent sent waves of joy through the Emperor and his people.
The Emperor led Kaguya and her sons to a secluded area, offering her the most secure dwelling they could provide. Though humble by Ōtsutsuki standards, Kaguya accepted it without complaint, her focus on stabilizing her newfound powers.
When the Emperor's wife asked, "What are the divine children's names?" Kaguya replied softly, "Hagoromo and Hamura."
With that, the Emperor's wife took the infants into her care, leaving Kaguya alone.
"Why did the Ten-Tails' power suddenly spiral out of control?" Kaguya muttered to herself in the quiet of her chamber. Experimenting with her newfound powers, she extended her hand, watching a gray bone blade grow from her palm—a new ability she instinctively named All-Killing Ash Bones.
"Perhaps it's related to the richness of this God Tree's chakra... or the ritual sacrifice of Isshiki," she mused.
"That's part of it," came a voice from the doorway.
Kaguya turned sharply, her Ash Bones poised to strike. A stranger stood before her, shutting the door behind him as he stepped inside.
"Who are you? Were you the one who spoke to me earlier?" she demanded, her crimson eyes locked on him with suspicion.
"Calm yourself," Yoichi said, raising his hands in a gesture of peace. His voice carried subtle mental soothing, a technique that gradually eased her tension.
"I am a practitioner of onmyōdō, a protector of this world. If I wished you harm, I could have let the Ten-Tails consume you," he explained, his tone calm yet firm.
Kaguya hesitated, her instincts screaming caution. Yet the stranger's words resonated with her experience—his intervention had prevented her from succumbing to the Ten-Tails.
"Why would someone like you help me?" she asked warily.
"Because compared to others of your kind, your intentions toward this world seem... less malevolent," Yoichi replied. "Your rival, Isshiki, is far more dangerous and unwilling to listen. But you—if guided—might align with this world's interests."
Kaguya lowered her Ash Bones but kept her guard up. "What do you want in return for your help?"
"Knowledge," Yoichi answered. "Tell me what you know about your clan, the God Trees, and this world's origins. In exchange, I can offer answers to your questions and aid in stabilizing your power."
After a long silence, Kaguya nodded slowly. "Very well."
Kaguya summoned the Emperor's wife, who nervously placed the infants before Yoichi.
"Hagoromo and Hamura, you said?" Yoichi mused, kneeling to examine them.
He extended his mental perception into their chakras, his findings both fascinating and perplexing. The energy within them mirrored Kaguya's, yet bore subtle anomalies—traces of the Ten-Tails' influence.
"These two," he said, glancing at Kaguya, "carry not only your power but something... else. A legacy of the Ten-Tails, perhaps."
Taking Kaguya's hand, he compared her chakra to theirs, confirming his theory.
"What are you doing?" Kaguya asked, her tone sharp despite her calm demeanor.
"Confirming a theory," Yoichi replied. "These two might grow into something far greater than either of us expects."
His words left Kaguya unsettled. "Who are you, really?"
"Someone who seeks to understand," Yoichi replied enigmatically.
