章 143: Pitiful Woman

After many tries.

---

This time when they appeared, they were surprised. There was no chakra present in the surroundings as if it never existed. The only thing that was present was nature energy.

But suddenly, he lifted his head in a specific direction. His eyes glowed as he tore through the space and locked his eyes with someone. That was the only source of chakra. When he locked his eyes with that person, his lips curved up.

In a luxurious-looking mansion, there was a woman wearing a white kimono with black tomoe engraved on it. Her skin was pale white, and she had very long white hair. Her white pupilless eyes snapped open and looked directly at the red eyes that were looking at her.

Her heartbeat became faster as sweat beads appeared on her forehead, and fear crawled in her heart. The presence was stronger than her. From their chakra signatures, she could tell they were the same as her.

This woman was none other than Kaguya Otsutsuki. She didn't believe she would be found out so early. It had been only a few months since she had arrived on this planet. She caressed her belly, and a determined expression appeared on her face. She was going to face them to protect herself and her children.

"Pitiful woman" were the words she understood from his lips. She was about to open a portal, but before she could move, they were gone.

She searched for them in the entire Elemental Nation but found nothing. She heaved a sigh of relief when she couldn't find them. 'Who was he?' she couldn't help but think. 'And why did he call me a pitiful woman?' She searched for several years for them.

"What are you thinking, mother?" a child asked her curiously. "It's nothing, son," she smiled sweetly and ruffled her son's hair. Her heart was filled with love when she looked at her child.

'Was it an illusion?' she thought.

And just like that, many years passed, and nothing happened. Until a fateful day came as she fought her sons who were trying to kill her.

Her heart shattered as she looked at her sons who were so desperate to kill her. They had chosen the nameless people over her, over their mother.

If she wanted to kill them, she would have done it, but she couldn't bring herself to kill her own sons. She had given birth to them, nurtured them, taught them, she loved them dearly, she gave all her love to them, yet they didn't even try to understand her. It hurt her more than anything that her own blood was trying to kill her.

Then she remembered two words, 'I am truly pitiful.' With that thought, she looked at her sons for the last time. She closed her eyes, and in her last attempt, her will transformed and birthed her 3rd son.

She teleported him far from that place in order to unseal her. And just like that, she was sealed. The moon was created, sealing her completely. She had placed all of her hopes on her son.
