Chapter 357 - Chapter 357: The New Pure Land

[Some Time Later]

In the Land of the Progenitor, inside the palace, Kaguya finally gave birth.

Accompanied by powerful chakra fluctuations, two small figures were born one after the other.

The first was a boy, named Hagoromo.

The second was also a boy, named Hamura.

Because of Arisu's secret interference beforehand, the two children clearly resembled Arisu's side more.

They inherited Arisu's peerless facial features. Their brows and eyes carried a bit more handsomeness and nobility, while also bearing the pale, cold, inhuman look characteristic of the Otsutsuki clan.

High in the sky, Arisu stood with his hands behind his back, quietly watching everything unfold, his expression calm from beginning to end.

"Hagoromo and Hamura... They look fairly pleasing to the eye.", Arisu muttered softly, but showed little emotion.

In any case, this cycle of reincarnation would eventually be erased. He wasn't particularly attached to the fate of these two children.

He only hoped they would honestly follow the original storyline and not create any unnecessary variables.

Compared to them, the one Arisu truly cared about was his other son, Yukio.

The moment he thought of Yukio, his brows furrowed slightly, and a rare trace of concern flashed through his eyes.

"I wonder how that kid is doing now...", Arisu murmured to himself, his gaze becoming a little complicated.

He had no idea what kind of trouble his son had stirred up on the other Earth.

Hopefully, he hadn't thrown that world into complete chaos.

He slowly closed his eyes, sensing the Kama he had previously left on Yukio.

As long as Yukio was still alive, he could vaguely sense his location.

In theory, if Yukio encountered danger, he would be able to reach the location of the Kama instantly.

Although he wasn't certain whether he could truly cross dimensions.

[Meanwhile, On Earth]

The wind howled as dark clouds filled the sky.

Yukio had run into a typhoon.

His figure streaked across the sky like a ray of light.

"Holy crap, Earth's typhoons are way too fierce. I only got here a few days ago, and I already ran into one...", As he spoke, Yukio accelerated.

With the power of the Kama, he flew at incredible speed, crossing vast distances in just a few breaths.

He had already been on this Earth for several months.

He had thoroughly confirmed one thing.

There was no chakra, no ninjutsu, and no superpowered people in this world.

The strongest weapons were nothing more than hydrogen bombs.

And to him, even hydrogen bombs posed no real threat.

Thanks to the Kama's ability to absorb nuclear radiation, combined with his own powerful spatial abilities, he was practically unbeatable.

At the same time, the truth about this world had shocked him.

The "original world" he came from had actually been nothing more than a manga.

However, thanks to Arisu's years of "third-dimensional education," Yukio had long accepted that he was a real three-dimensional person.

He looked down on the "two-dimensional natives" of the original Naruto world.

"Since there aren't any other superpowered people in this world... then I'm basically invincible."

A bold smile spread across Yukio's face.

The next moment, he clapped his hands together and created several powerful clones.

Each clone carried a different mission and immediately sped toward political centers around the world, Washington, Moscow, Paris, London, Tokyo...

———

Deep within the Pure Land, atop a floating island, Arisu stood with his hands behind his back. His aura was deep and vast, his body fused with this independent space that he had personally created.

Arisu had rebuilt the Pure Land.

After the reincarnation, the original Pure Land had also been erased.

Because it had been judged to be something belonging to the original story.

However, Arisu's Rinnegan and Tenseigan had not been erased.

After being refined by Arisu, the Rinnegan had become truly his own.

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, three illusory souls that gradually became solid were released from the void.

They were the three transmigrators he had dealt with before.

Suzuki, Otsutsuki Isshiki, and Reki.

The moment the three souls appeared, they immediately felt that familiar yet despair-inducing pressure.

The next second, all three turned deathly pale.

Their pupils shrank violently, and without the slightest hesitation, they dropped to their knees together and cried out in terror.

"Will of Heaven!!"

"Spare us! Will of Heaven, spare us!"

"This subordinate knows his mistake! Please show mercy, Will of Heaven!"

Their voices trembled.

Their foreheads were pressed tightly against the cold ground, and their bodies shook uncontrollably.

Otsutsuki Isshiki and Reki especially.

Both of them had already experienced the agony of being fed into the Ten-Tails by Kaguya.

Now that they realized the person before them was the Will of Heaven of this world, how could they not be terrified?

Arisu looked calmly at the three kneeling before him, his expression unchanged.

He nodded slightly and casually waved his hand.

In an instant, three black chains appeared out of thin air, wrapping around each of them and firmly binding their souls.

At the same time, an exquisite collar appeared around each of their necks.

"All right. There's no need to panic so much."

Arisu waved his hand slightly.

"You'll stay here in this Pure Land and honestly open up space. Take your time. There's no rush. I'll have people bring you food and the necessary supplies regularly."

Arisu had ultimately decided to exile the three of them to the Pure Land.

Three laborers.

There was no reason not to make use of them.

After all, setting aside the fact that they were transmigrators, they were just three ordinary people.

Their lives in their previous world probably hadn't gone very well.

Arisu didn't want to make things difficult for them.

The three remained kneeling, hardly daring to breathe. They could only bow repeatedly.

"We obey... Will of Heaven!"

"This subordinate will certainly do everything in my power to open up space for you, my lord!"

Arisu said nothing more.

With his hands behind his back, he turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the starlight.

Only the three once-arrogant transmigrators remained standing on the island in the Pure Land, wearing heavy chains and collars, exchanging helpless, bitter glances.

———

Another three years passed.

The brothers Hagoromo and Hamura gradually grew up.

The once-young children had now become adorable little boys.

Hagoromo's features had grown more steady and dignified.

Hamura, meanwhile, appeared more refined and handsome, but there was always a trace of complexity in his eyes that didn't match his age.

Hagoromo was lively and active, often following Kaguya to cultivate chakra.

Hamura was different.

He often sat alone on the cliff at the edge of the island, looking up at the brilliant yet illusory starry sky above, his eyes filled with confusion and melancholy, as though pondering something heavy.

Occasionally, he would even mutter to himself.

Even when Kaguya asked about it, he merely shook his head without saying anything.

Although Kaguya was puzzled, she didn't look into it further.

Her heart was now focused entirely on raising the two children, hoping they would grow into capable helpers as soon as possible.

———

'My name is...'

'No, my name is Otsutsuki Hamura now.'

'Or rather, I used to be an ordinary office worker. Then one day, after going to sleep, I woke up for no reason as the newborn Otsutsuki Hamura.'

"F*ck... what the hell is going on?"

Hamura sat on the edge of the cliff with his knees hugged to his chest, staring at the unchanging starry sky overhead, feeling a chill run through his heart.

'For the past two years, I had been carefully hiding everything unusual about myself.'

'On the surface, I pretended to be a quiet, well-behaved child.'

'Behind the scenes, I desperately tried to adapt to this tiny body, its enormous chakra, and the woman known as "Otsutsuki Kaguya," my mother.'
