"You are right. Changing the nursery for the Divine Tree might not allow it to grow as well as it does now..." Otsutsuki Yagara nodded, accepting the Second Elder's opinion.
"Zeroshiki, what about the natural energy over there. Can it support the nurturing of a second premium Divine Fruit?" The First Elder suddenly asked.
"It should be possible..."
Otsutsuki Zeroshiki casually gave his reply. After that, he expressed a desire to stay here for a while longer to observe the situation. Unfortunately, his words were cut off and firmly rejected by Otsutsuki Yagara.
"The current state of the World-Creating Divine Tree is very unstable. There is no time to delay. Within three days, you must handle the follow-up task arrangements. You can have Meishiki and the others guard the Divine Tree. You first take your people and return to the clan lands."
"By the way, how are Meishiki and the others?" Otsutsuki Yagara then remembered the other four Six Paths level powerhouses.
"Feiyu is dead. There are quite a few Six Paths level powerhouses here. By the time I arrived, it was already too late... However, he left a 'Karma' in the clan lands. He can be revived after some time." Otsutsuki Zeroshiki explained.
"Quite a few Six Paths level... That must be a very strong world then?" Otsutsuki Yagara frowned subconsciously, but immediately relaxed again. A world that isn't strong would not bear premium Divine Fruit. These things are relative.
Since Otsutsuki Zeroshiki had dealt with that world, he had nothing more to worry about. The current outcome seemed good.
"I give you ten days. Search that world to see if there are any Six Paths level beings still hiding. After completely eliminating the threats, you then bring that human and return." Otsutsuki Yagara gave his final order.
Hearing this, Otsutsuki Zeroshiki remained silent for a few moments, but then could only nod obediently. "Yes."
The sound and image from the communication mirror were completely cut off. The people of the Ninja World also slowly gathered around at this time.
Nanaise hurriedly walked to Ryun's side to help him remove the sealing black rods, and then urgently helped him reassemble his body.
As the five body parts connected together, Ryun's injuries recovered in the blink of an eye.
To perform this act well, he had gone to great lengths... He had people literally cut him into pieces and seal him, just to deceive Otsutsuki Yagara. Currently, the effect didn't seem great, but it was barely acceptable...
'Fortunately, we made the fake into reality... That guy really used the Byakugan to see through my condition...' Ryun let out a long sigh of relief.
"But we only bought ten days of time. Wasn't our act in vain?" Nanaise said with a worried expression.
"Of course it wasn't in vain..."
"The Otsutsuki clan can travel to our world using their clan's treasure, the Myriad Stars Chart. They can reach our world in just three months. However, the return journey requires a lot of time. Completing it within 20 years would be considered fast." Ryun explained with a smile.
Through the memories of the Otsutsuki clan, Ryun had obtained a lot of important intelligence. This was why he could calmly deal with Otsutsuki Yagara.
The Myriad Stars Chart was the inherited treasure of the Otsutsuki clan. It could achieve ultra-long-distance spatial teleportation. However, this treasure only allowed one-way teleportation. This gave Ryun a bit of precious, operable time...
Of course, the time Ryun and the others could truly stay in the Ninja World next would also be very little.
"20 years. That's quite ample." Nanaise relaxed and smiled.
"It's not ample at all. Our expedition against the Otsutsuki clan also takes time. We must reach there and launch an attack, creating chaos, within 20 years. Only then will the world beneath our feet be truly safe." Orochimaru spoke with a serious expression.
"Teacher is right. The time left for us is indeed tight. However, I will go and attract the attention of the Otsutsuki clan, diverting their focus from our world to another world..." As Ryun spoke, he looked up towards the sky beyond.
What the Otsutsuki clan truly valued was not the world beneath their feet, but Ryun himself, who had consumed the premium Chakra Divine Fruit. Combined with the Ten-Tails Divine Tree within him, these two were what the Otsutsuki clan cared about most. The Ninja World was secondary.
"You plan to act as bait yourself?" Orochimaru frowned, having already guessed Ryun's thoughts.
"Yes. In at most two or three months, that Otsutsuki Feiyu you killed will be reborn and revived using 'Karma'. Once he reports the intelligence he knows to Otsutsuki Yagara, it's hard to guarantee that guy won't become suspicious..."
Judging from his dialogue with Otsutsuki Yagara today, this Otsutsuki clan leader was not only overbearing but also clearly not easy to fool. Ryun was worried that unforeseen complications might arise later.
"To prevent accidents that could affect the world beneath our feet and our families, I must leave here first."
Ryun's expression showed some helplessness. According to his initial plan, before Otsutsuki Momoshiki came to the Ninja World, he could have waited for his son to grow up before leading people to launch the expedition against the Otsutsuki clan.
It's just that things had developed to this point. Now, he had no choice but to leave.
Hearing this, Nanaise couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand. Her father might leave her, embarking on a dangerous journey alone.
Her younger brother was only three years old this year. If her mother and grandmother heard this news, they would be one hundred percent heartbroken.
Thinking of this, a mist instantly formed in Nanaise's large, lively eyes.
Noticing her change, Ryun was visibly taken aback for a moment.
The next moment, he walked over, put his arm around Nanaise's shoulders, wanting to comfort her. But the young girl simply pouted her lips and started crying against Ryun's chest.
'Silly girl, what is there to cry about. We are just starting the expedition against the Otsutsuki a bit earlier. It's not a life-or-death separation...' Ryun patted her back soothingly.
"Ryun is right. Not only does he have to leave, but several of us also need to prepare for the expedition..." Orochimaru softly reminded.
As a member of the expeditionary force, Nanaise would soon also have to leave this world. Those who would be truly sad should be the family members staying behind.
"I know... I won't cry... Dad, when are you planning to set off?" Nanaise wiped her tears and asked.
"Of course, the sooner the better. But since that guy gave us ten days, then we'll set off in ten days..." Ryun answered with a serious expression.
Both he and the expeditionary force had to leave. However, Ryun did not plan to go with Orochimaru and the others for now. He wanted to go first to lure away the Otsutsuki clan. Ideally, he wanted those guys to think that both he and the Divine Tree were no longer in the Ninja World. Only then could he be at ease.
If he didn't do this, there was no guarantee that Otsutsuki Yagara wouldn't notice something abnormal and send people to the Ninja World again. That would be troublesome...
The current time was very tight.
