"Even the Otsutsuki Branch Family has been reduced to a final descendant?"
Tsunade suddenly sighed. By that calculation, the clans Kaede Kitahara had clearly mentioned as descendants of the brothers Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura were the Senju Clan, the Uzumaki Clan, the Uchiha Clan, the Hyuga Clan, and the Kaguya Clan. Each had inherited either the Sage's Eyes or the Sage's Body.
Among them, the Senju Clan only had her as a publicly known clansman now. The Uzumaki Clan had only three left, right? Uzumaki Naruto, Uzumaki Karin, and Uzumaki Nagato. They could all be considered cousins of the Senju Clan.
The Uchiha Clan only had the brothers Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke left, along with that Uchiha Kenji hiding in the shadows.
The final descendant of the Kaguya Clan had already entered the last stage of his life. At most, he had half a year left before he died.
Looking at it that way, the relatively ordinary Hyuga Clan was the one still living perfectly well. They would even continue to do well in the future.
Could the Caged Bird Seal really have served as protection?
Tsunade didn't know. But when she thought about it, it really was tragic. Each of them had been a great clan with a legacy spanning more than a thousand years, yet after entering the new era of one nation, one village, they had vanished one after another.
First came the Uzumaki Clan. Then the Senju Clan. Then the Kaguya Clan. Then the Uchiha Clan. Only the Hyuga Clan remained. Even the Otsutsuki Clan had gradually faded away.
She simply couldn't understand why the Otsutsuki Clan, which had not experienced any wars and had lived in peace for so many years, had not grown stronger over time. Instead, only one person remained. What exactly had happened?
At that moment, in the video, because Otsutsuki Toneri had gathered the power of countless Byakugan and still had some traces of the Tenseigan's power left, the Nine-Tails' Chakra on Uzumaki Naruto was rapidly absorbed.
"Hahahahaha! Witness the power of Hamura, the power that can move the moon! Naruto, you're dead!" Otsutsuki Toneri said, his face twisted with savagery.
And at that critical moment, Hyuga Hinata poured her own Chakra into Uzumaki Naruto's body, finally stabilizing the Chakra that was flowing out of him.
As it turned out, Hyuga Hinata's body actually still contained Otsutsuki Hamura's Chakra.
At that moment, Otsutsuki Toneri's body flickered continuously with countless Byakugan and the collective will of the Otsutsuki Branch Family behind those eyes.
"Destroy the mistaken world created by the Sage of Six Paths."
Otsutsuki Toneri roared, "World created by the Sage of Six Paths, fallen into darkness, let the light of justice destroy you!"
Otsutsuki Toneri firmly believed in his own justice and wanted to destroy the entire Shinobi World.
Very quickly, he sensed that something was wrong. After flying into space to absorb the sun's power, he discovered that the solar energy he had absorbed far exceeded what his own Chakra could contain. It had actually begun distorting his body, and he was on the verge of exploding.
Just then, Uzumaki Naruto saw Otsutsuki Toneri in unbearable pain and seemed to think of something. At the critical moment, he helped Otsutsuki Toneri and saved him from that desperate situation.
In the end, just as the Shinobi World was about to fire the Chakra Cannon and shatter the moon, they saw the shinobi symbol the Nine-Tails had carved onto the moon and knew the mission had been completed.
Afterward, Uzumaki Naruto brought Otsutsuki Toneri to the burial place of the Otsutsuki Clan's souls. There, Toneri learned what Otsutsuki Hamura's true dying wish had been. Weeping bitterly, he admitted his mistake and ultimately chose to remain on the moon, watching over Earth and staying alert for threats from extraterrestrial beings.
It was also one hell of a dark joke, making a blind man serve as a lookout.
The video ended there.
"I never thought the Nine-Tails and Naruto would get along so well in the future," Namikaze Minato said, deeply comforted.
Seeing that his son would be able to fully command the Nine-Tails in battle in the future, he felt that the future held great promise. It proved that, just as he had guessed before, the Nine-Tails could be communicated with. He was a Tailed Beast, not a mindless animal.
It was just that very few humans had ever been willing to speak to him properly before. They had all treated Tailed Beasts like ordinary beasts.
During this time, he had quietly asked his girlfriend Kushina whether she could use Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. He had seen his future son use that mode many times in the video.
Once that mode was activated, the user's strength immediately rose to another level. Even if the user's own strength was ordinary, it guaranteed at least Strong Kage Level power.
However, the conclusion was that she could not. Uzumaki Kushina directly told him that reaching that level of Nine-Tails Chakra Mode was not something that could be solved with the current method, which was using a seal to seize Chakra from the Nine-Tails.
A Jinchuriki could obtain a great deal of Chakra from a Tailed Beast through a seal, but compared with the Tailed Beast's own Chakra and recovery ability, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
To reach the level their future son had achieved, one would at least have to reconcile with the Nine-Tails and achieve true mutual understanding. Only then could one obtain that level of Chakra from the Nine-Tails, even forming a Chakra cloak around the body.
That was the logic, but actually doing it did not seem easy at all. Especially since his girlfriend was not someone skilled in Talk Release.
Speaking of which, he had no idea who his son had learned that Talk Release from.
Seriously, who had he learned it from? How could he talk that much?
Even so, Minato was still very interested. If reconciliation with the Nine-Tails could be achieved, Kushina's strength would undergo a world-shaking transformation, and she would become the best helper on his path forward.
He even developed another thought. What if he did what his future self had done and split off a portion of the Nine-Tails into his own body? If he did that, he would make up for his final weakness.
Not only would he possess an enormous amount of Chakra, but he would also be able to use many Ninjutsu that he originally could not perform, especially wide-area Ninjutsu.
After reading the diary for so long, Namikaze Minato had also begun to realize exactly how many flaws he had.
If his opponents were still existences at the Five Kage level, the Kage of other villages, then he was confident he had enough strength to handle them. The Kage of other villages were not unbeatable beings.
However, once his opponents rose to Super Kage Level, or even those alien monsters, his strength was still far too weak. His attack methods, namely the power of the Rasengan, were still too lacking.
Never mind that he used the Rasengan and the future Uzumaki Naruto also used the Rasengan. Their strength was not on the same level at all, and the power they produced with it was worlds apart.
