"We found four human corpses, dead… or at least they look like us… and twelve strange extraterrestrial beings with purple skin and a completely different physical structure from ours."
Said a man in his late thirties, staring with his pale eyes devoid of irises at the figures kneeling before him.
The purple-skinned slaves, around twelve of them, were kneeling on the ground, their hands on their necks, expressing surrender.
One of them had a face filled with sorrow and bitterness.
Just when he thought he had been freed from the tyrants who enslaved him, they were replaced by another race with strange eyes. Then again, who was he to judge others by their appearance?
An old man,the same one previously addressed as "Your Majesty" by the branch member,asked
"Hm… what about that strange means of transportation?"
"We have no idea what that thing is. Nothing like it has ever appeared in history… not even in the era of the Sage of Six Paths…"
"But we believe it is a ship capable of traveling through space."
"A spaceship?" the old man muttered, then turned his gaze toward the slaves and activated his Byakugan to observe the details of their bodily structure.
"Who are you?"
He raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Their internal organs are different from humans… and… there is no trace of chakra within them."
The branch member shook his head and said
"It's useless. They speak a strange language,we couldn't understand a single thing they said."
"… "
While the two were speaking, the purple-skinned slave raised his head and looked around.
They were inside a massive hall decorated with multicolored windows.
Dozens of people with strange eyes,resembling Viltrumites, stood around them.
Speaking of Viltrumites, the slave looked at the four corpses lying on the ground and smiled. He felt a strange satisfaction that soothed the wounds in his heart. These monsters had slaughtered his race and enslaved him.
But suddenly, the smile vanished from his face, replaced by a terrified expression.
Under the watchful eyes of the Moon Ōtsutsuki clan, one of the aliens raised his arm.
Everyone took a cautious stance, thinking he was about to launch a sudden attack.
Instead, the alien extended a finger and began counting the human corpses.
"One… two… three… four!"
"No… no…" the slave raised his head, his expression filled with fear as his body began to tremble.
"Where is the fifth? There were five…" he repeated when he saw the confusion on their faces.
"There were five. There were five Viltrumites… where is the fifth one?" He raised his hand, pointing at the corpses, then at his five fingers.
"What is this alien saying?"
"No idea, but he seems scared…"
"Five? It looks like he's trying to say there were five people."
"Five? But we searched the strange vessel and only found four bodies."
"Sir, what should we do with them?" the branch member asked, addressing the head of the main family.
The clan leader frowned and thought for a moment before speaking calmly
"Hm… imprison them, and try to learn their language."

"As expected, the ship is here after all."
Drov stood floating in the oxygenless black void of space.
The freezing cold brushed against the bloody wounds on his body, sending shivers through him and creating an uncomfortable expression on his pale, emotionless face.
He stared at the massive moon with his arms crossed. His gaze wasn't on the moon itself, but on the wrecked shape of the ship on its surface.
"I still don't know how I ended up on the planet below…"
Drov thought in confusion as he adjusted his body, maintaining his position toward the ship.
"Hm… humans?" He raised an eyebrow in surprise as he looked at the small figures surrounding the wreck.
"Strange… do humans also live on the surface of the moon? Aren't they just a race with a primitive civilization? The only remarkable thing about them is that energy they call chakra… did I misunderstand something?"
"Or did they manage to reach the moon using chakra? It seems I underestimated the potential of this energy. If they can truly bend space to reach this place…"
"Or perhaps they simply flew here. It doesn't matter how. What matters is that this chakra energy is worth investigating."
With these thoughts running through his mind, Drov descended onto the moon's surface in front of one of the "humans",or rather, a member of the Moon Ōtsutsuki clan, who were also extraterrestrial beings but carried traces of human blood.
He moved his hand so quickly that the branch member couldn't even perceive it, even with his Byakugan, and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him effortlessly off the ground.
Drov wasn't in the mood to talk, so he crushed his neck without hesitation and threw the corpse at another who was rushing toward them.
"Strange…" Drov frowned as he swung his palm, severing another branch member's head from his body, leaving the blood to float in the air due to the moon's weak gravity.
" Impossible!! ..."
"Can these mere humans really breathe in space?" he wondered in shock after noticing they weren't holding their breath like he was.
Even Viltrumites couldn't breathe in space; they could only hold their breath.
"No… I don't think there exists any living being in the universe that can breathe in space… which means…"
