Black Zetsu understood. This great one was releasing its mother only to have her guide the way to the Otsutsuki's home planet.
For his mother, this was naturally a good thing.
Let this powerful monster confront the unfathomable Otsutsuki clan... perhaps they would destroy each other?
But it was still somewhat worried. What if his mother, after being released, couldn't see the situation clearly? Wouldn't she be refined in an instant?
Setsuna was naturally not seeking Black Zetsu's opinion. After informing it, he looked at the Sage of Six Paths. "Sage of Six Paths, please release Otsutsuki Kaguya."
Having witnessed Setsuna's unparalleled power, the Sage of Six Paths naturally would not refuse.
Under normal circumstances, resurrecting Otsutsuki Kaguya would require a rather troublesome process.
But for the Sage of Six Paths, who had personally sealed Kaguya, unsealing her was simple.
He waved his sage's staff. From the direction of the moon came an extremely faint, yet to all those with keen senses, heart-stopping spatial fluctuation.
The next moment, the space in the center of the hall suddenly twisted.
A cold, vast aura, precipitated with endless ages, like an ancient, fierce god awakening from slumber, erupted from the twisted space.
A female figure with an exquisitely beautiful posture, pale skin, and horns on her forehead slowly emerged from the twisted space.
It was Otsutsuki Kaguya!
She wore a simple, antique-style white robe, her bare feet hovering three inches above the ground.
Having just been released from the seal, her eyes still held a trace of bewilderment after a long period of loneliness.
But soon, that bewilderment was replaced by an indifference as if looking down on ants.
She slightly raised her eyelids, her pure white eyes sweeping over the people in the hall.
Just being swept by that gaze made everyone feel as if their souls were frozen.
It was the sense of oppression brought by the absolute gap in the hierarchy of life and the essence of power.
Those with slightly weaker strength turned pale, their legs weak, almost kneeling.
'What a terrifying aura!'
'It feels even more dreadful than those three Otsutsuki!'
'Being sealed for a thousand years and having this kind of momentum just after being released...'
Many people were horrified in their hearts, and some even began to worry about Setsuna.
'Could the Chairman have perhaps overplayed his hand? Was it really alright to release this kind of monster?'
Even the Sage of Six Paths, feeling the aura his mother now emitted, couldn't help but slightly tense his soul phantom.
'Mother's strength was still as dreadful as it was a thousand years ago.'
However, when Kaguya's gaze swept over everyone and finally landed on Setsuna, her body suddenly began to tremble uncontrollably.
Those ordinary people looked at her like frogs at the bottom of a well looking at the moon... she looked at him also like a tiny mayfly gazing at the vast sky.
Powerful to her level, she could already faintly glimpse the tip of the other's iceberg.
What frightened her most was that she sensed 'herself' inside the other party's body.
Kaguya could no longer maintain the indifferent expression on her face. She asked in terror, "Why do I sense my aura inside your body?"
"Oh, that. I went to another Space-Time before. The 'you' in that Space-Time wasn't very cooperative, so I refined her into a Chakra Pill and ate her."
Setsuna smiled gently, but in Kaguya's eyes, he was like a demon.
She had no difficulty understanding the concept of parallel worlds, but the meaning of the other party's words was too terrifying.
The 'her' in another world had actually been refined into a Chakra Pill and eaten.
She finally understood what Black Zetsu's hastily transmitted message, 'absolutely do not resist', truly meant.
It was proven that Kaguya's reticence was merely disdain for communicating with ants.
She suppressed all the terrifying aura she had released, slowly descended back to the ground, and bent her noble body before Setsuna.
"Esteemed powerful one, please forgive my previous disrespect."
Her voice was soft, carrying reverence and obedience.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was stunned.
That Rabbit Goddess, described by the Sage of Six Paths as incredibly terrifying, was actually so discerning of the situation?
She didn't even fight, just directly chose to submit.
However, the most shocked of all was the Sage of Six Paths.
In his eyes, his extremely proud, holy mother would actually bow her head to someone? Could she actually communicate normally?
Could it be that he, as her son, was also merely a servant in his mother's eyes?
The Sage of Six Paths felt somewhat upset. His mother had hardly communicated with him and his brother. He had previously thought it was simply her nature to be indifferent, but it turned out she just didn't regard them as people?
"Very good." Setsuna spoke calmly, cutting directly to the point. "I want you to take me to the Otsutsuki's home planet."
Hearing this request, Kaguya, who had just suppressed her fear, trembled slightly again.
'Act as a guide to the Otsutsuki's home planet? This...'
She hesitated and asked, "Lord, what is your purpose in going to the Otsutsuki's home planet?"
Setsuna was succinct: "The Otsutsuki came to Earth to plant trees. I am going to cook your home planet."
Kaguya didn't quite understand, 'Could a planet be cooked? Did the other party mean capturing Otsutsuki to refine them into pills?'
She felt both excitement and fear.
Excitement that this mysterious powerful one was going to cause trouble for the Otsutsuki, fear because that clan was far too powerful.
Her voice trembled as she said, "Lord, the Otsutsuki's home planet is incredibly prosperous. There are countless powerful individuals within the clan. It is an overlord-level race that practically rules the universe. To rashly go there would likely..."
She tactfully hinted at the risks, but Setsuna seemed not to hear her implication, calmly pressing further. "How much stronger is the strongest of the Otsutsuki Clan compared to you now?"
"The strongest of our clan is, of course, the great ancestor, Shibai!" Mentioning this name, Kaguya couldn't help but straighten up.
"But according to ancient legends, Shibai-sama seems to have long since left our dimension and gone to a more distant space-time."
"If there haven't been too many changes in these thousand years, the current strongest of the Otsutsuki should still be the Great Elder. Back then, he was at least ten times stronger than I am now!"
However, when mentioning the Otsutsuki Great Elder, her tone completely lacked the respect she had shown towards Shibai, instead carrying a hint of hatred.
This number made everyone present gasp.
'Ten times stronger than her? What kind of concept was that?'
Setsuna's expression remained calm. "Only ten times? Then there's even less reason to be afraid."
Kaguya was stunned. Hearing the tone of the other party, she wondered if he was ten or even dozens of times stronger than her?
She couldn't help but feel excited, 'This mysterious powerful one was so confident... perhaps there really was a chance to shake the unshakable rule of the Otsutsuki Clan!'
'I might finally have a chance for revenge!'
Just thinking about the possibility of bringing destruction to the Otsutsuki made her unable to contain herself.
"Yes, Lord, I understand. I am willing to guide you."
Setsuna nodded slightly and looked at everyone. "Minato, I'll leave the Ninja World to you for now. Anyway, you've been managing this place quite well all these years I've been away."
Everyone couldn't help but smile bitterly. They had indeed thought that way before, but after the Otsutsuki incident, they increasingly realized the importance of Setsuna as this stabilizing force.
"Chairman, you must come back again!"
