Kaguya’s thought process was always peculiar, especially after no longer being manipulated by the cunning Black Zetsu, making her seem even more adorable and foolish.
But that was exactly what Lux needed.
A Six Paths-level assistant who was innocent, harbored little malice, and obedient was truly remarkable.
Only then could Lux confidently let her manage the entire Starting Dinsion, helping him handle minor issues.
If Kaguya were truly like the malicious Black Zetsu, Lux wouldn’t dare fully trust her.
Soon after, with Lux’s simple explanation, Kaguya understood that the figure before her wasn’t her daughter but her future self from another dinsion.
The identical chakra aura in the unconscious Kaguya from Parallel World 7 was proof enough.
Otherwise, even a parent and child couldn’t have such perfectly matching chakra.
At the sa ti, learning that her future self was so miserable—not only sealed by ninjas again but also calculated and crushed by an undying Isshiki—Parallel World 4’s Kaguya couldn’t help but feel her heart race, growing increasingly fearful of the future.
Toward Isshiki and all pursuers from the main Ōtsutsuki clan, she also grew more hateful!
So cruel—the main clan really wanted her dead!
Thus, upon learning Lux hoped she’d devour her other self from the future, Kaguya agreed without hesitation.
Not to ntion she currently lacked the power to oppose Lux; even if she had it, Kaguya wouldn’t refuse such a good opportunity.
This was a rare chance for permanent self-improvent, with the power source being another version of herself, ensuring no side effects or incompatibilities after absorption.
As for whether devouring her other self was too cruel?
Co on, devouring clan mbers, subordinates, or even self-clones was extrely common in the Ōtsutsuki clan, got it?
Don’t use narrow, Earth-human morals to limit a high-level cosmic race!
As for whether her other self was willing?
Did that matter?
Devouring the other, gaining more chakra, enhancing her power and life level to face the main Ōtsutsuki clan’s pursuit and change her future!
That’s what Kaguya needed most!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
The devouring process went smoothly.
The unconscious Parallel World 7 Kaguya was fully absorbed by Parallel World 4 Kaguya, like two chakra streams from the sa source rging without any resistance or rejection.
Of course, given Parallel World 7 Kaguya’s weakened state, even if conscious, she couldn’t have stopped being devoured by her other self.
The entire rging and devouring process didn’t take long.
In just over ten minutes, it was complete.
Lux eagerly examined the ’super-evolved’ Kaguya, personally asuring her to confirm.
’Nice!’
’Indeed plumper... no... indeed stronger!’
Overall, Kaguya’s physical changes weren’t drastic.
Her total chakra didn’t increase much either, as Parallel World 7 Kaguya was nearly drained, leaving little chakra.
But the internal improvents were significant.
Her immortal body’s strength, chakra recovery speed, immortality traits, eye power purity, soul resilience, peak output limit, endurance, and attack resistance all saw substantial boosts!
Not quite doubled, but the overall enhancent was considerable.
Know this: at the Six Paths level, normal improvent thods are nearly nonexistent; even Ōtsutsuki could only advance by absorbing pills or devouring Divine Tree fruits.
Overall, devouring the weakened Parallel World 7 Kaguya was like eating half a Divine Tree fruit again.
This was a tangible enhancent and refinent of Kaguya’s life essence.
Like one person pouring more water into a bottle, while another turns the bottle into a large bucket.
Whose improvent is more significant is obvious!
Though Kaguya’s original ’bottle’ wasn’t full of chakra, never returning to her peak.
Raising the upper limit was always delightful.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"How does it feel?" Lux asked.
"Really good, it feels so full!"
Kaguya answered honestly, her eyes filled with unfulfilled desire.
Delicious! So delicious!
In her life, aside from eating the Divine Tree fruit, she hadn’t enjoyed much pleasure. The sensation of devouring herself, filling herself, and enhancing herself was addictive.
No wonder the main Ōtsutsuki clan’s higher-ups always loved devouring their subordinates.
"Good. But your eyes?" Lux touched Kaguya’s face, examining closely.
He noticed her nine-tomoe Rinne-Sharingan hadn’t changed, but her pair of Byakugan had slightly shifted, starting to emit a faint blue aura.
"It seems to be evolving into Tenseigan..." Kaguya explained.
She knew about this.
Tenseigan is essentially a superior evolution of Byakugan, obtained in two ways:
Either Byakugan evolves by chance, or it’s gained by rging Byakugans.
The first thod needs no discussion.
The second has two approaches:
rging a large number of Byakugans with mixed bloodlines, or rging a few Byakugans with pure genes.
The Great Tenseigan used by Toneri’s ancestor to control the moon was the first thod, fused from sheer quantity, while Toneri’s original Tenseigan pair was the second, fused from quality.
Kaguya’s bloodline was extrely pure!
The so-called Branch Princess—’Princess’ refers to her bloodline, ’Branch’ is just a division.
Now, absorbing her other self, the two Byakugan pairs rged perfectly, far stronger than two Mangekyou Sharingans rging and evolving.
If not for lacking a bit of genetic complentation and mutation, Kaguya could likely have directly birthed a Tenseigan pair.
Know this: Tenseigan is extrely powerful.
Setting aside Mangekyou Sharingan’s unique, unstable eye techniques—so strong like Kamui, so weak like Amaterasu, with vast differences.
In terms of base value and abilities, Tenseigan’s added value far surpasses Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
A maxed-out Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan only reaches peak Super Kage level; Tenseigan, however, nearly rivals Rinnegan, granting pseudo-Six Paths-level power upon acquisition.
If perfectly controlled like Toneri, it could even touch Six Paths level!
This shows its astounding value.
"Are Tenseigans common in your clan?"
"Very rare."
"Why?"
"The chance of Tenseigan forming by accident is too low, and rging Tenseigans requires other clan mbers’ eyes, easily sparking fights and slaughter."
"So the main clan strictly forbids Tenseigan’s ergence."
"Unless granted very special permission..."
Tenseigan is indeed powerful in the ninja world; once acquired and grafted, power surges, a treasure for ascending to god-tier in one step.
But on the scale of the entire Ōtsutsuki clan, it’s nothing.
Including various Rinnegans, Black Eyes, and other special eyes, none are weaker than Tenseigan. Thus, the Ōtsutsuki clan wouldn’t forcibly promote Tenseigan, as it’d only lead to clan mbers killing each other, having faced such tragedies in history.
For a traitor like Kaguya, these restrictions didn’t apply.
Devouring or slaughtering at will was fine—her ties with the main clan were already broken.
"Your Tenseigan hasn’t fully evolved yet?"
"Yes, it’s still a bit short."
"So, with another pair of high-purity Byakugans or devouring another you, you could activate Tenseigan, right?"
"Yes!" Kaguya was very certain.
If she devoured another self or another Ōtsutsuki, she could directly activate a Tenseigan pair!
Then, super-evolved Kaguya with a Tenseigan pair nine-tomoe Rinne-Sharingan Six Paths chakra immortal body could likely reach peak Six Paths level!
Catching another Ōtsutsuki or Kaguya as a snack?
That was easy for Lux.
With seven parallel ninja worlds, would he worry about lacking Ōtsutsuki?
"I understand. Next ti, I’ll catch another Ōtsutsuki for you to eat."
"Thank you!"
After all, he helped her recover and boost her power. This was enough to make the simple-minded Kaguya quietly grateful, keeping it in her heart.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"By the way, if I could get Shibai Ōtsutsuki’s remains or genes, and you devoured them?"
"Could you master his Divine Techniques? Or go further?" Lux asked, struck by a sudden idea.
"It seems possible..." Kaguya wasn’t entirely sure.
But Amado, relying on Shibai’s genes and cyborg tech, replicated partial, incomplete Divine Techniques.
As a legitimate Ōtsutsuki princess, with the right thod, Kaguya could likely achieve it.
If she could acquire Divine Techniques, her unleashed power would surely be greater!
"Great, I’ll try to get them for you to test."
"Really?"
Kaguya’s eyes shone brightly, her gaze toward Lux growing warr.
If she could master most of Shibai’s Divine Techniques, she’d beco incredibly strong, even wielding absolute power to rival the main Ōtsutsuki clan!
"Of course, I never break promises."
"What do I need to do?"
"Just obey."
"Hmm!" Kaguya nodded obediently, without any objections.
This was the subordinate relationship she’d agreed to with Lux: she gave everything in exchange for his protection from the main Ōtsutsuki clan’s pursuit.
Moreover, Kaguya was used to such relationships.
It was far better than selling herself to the main Ōtsutsuki clan, forced to be Juubi fodder for Isshiki.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
After settling Kaguya’s matters, Lux finally began organizing Parallel World 7’s main mission.
This ti, Parallel World 7’s main mission, though winding, was mostly high-level battles, with combat intensity far surpassing previous worlds.
Thus, the total war duration was compressed to the shortest.
From Naruto’s capture to the story’s end, it lasted less than half a month.
Compared to progress speed in other worlds, this was unmatched.
Indeed, the comparison was with Parallel World 2, where that trash Tobirama resided, with the lowest unification progress...
[Parallel World 1 Unification Progress: 86% → 89%]
[Parallel World 2 Unification Progress: 85%]
[Parallel World 3 Unification Progress: 100%]
[Parallel World 4 Unification Progress: 92% → 96%]
[Parallel World 5 Unification Progress: 100%]
[Parallel World 7 Unification Progress: 15% → 72% → 89%]
Parallel World 7’s unification progress reached 89%, already very high.
Konoha and Naruto there had all the basic conditions for unification.
The remaining 11% was likely like Parallel World 1; they hadn’t officially absorbed all nations and villages or fully established a unified regi.
Like Minato’s Parallel World 4, the remaining 4% only awaited finalizing regulations and systems, officially declaring the Fire Nation Union’s establishnt to complete it.
For Parallel World 7, after rebuilding Konoha, with Naruto and Sasuke accelerating nation absorption and pushing unification, the final 11% should soon be filled.
In Parallel World 7, no villains or threats could challenge Six Paths Naruto and Sasuke anymore.
As for the real future big enemy, Jura?
There was no chance for him to erge now.
Even if he did, a Juubi variant not yet absorbing planetary energy, not fully grown, relying on Bijuudama as its main move, couldn’t challenge Six Paths Naruto with Rinne-Sharingan.
With the Senrigan cheat, any ninja world enemy would likely get a Six Paths Rasengan from sky-dropping Naruto the mont they appeared, with no chance to grow.
Too cunning!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Thanks to Parallel World 7’s unification progress surge, Lux gained eight additional lottery chances.
With four previously accumulated, he now had twelve lottery chances.
But Lux didn’t rush to do a ten-consecutive draw.
He held back, planning to wait for Minato to complete Parallel World 4’s unification, claim the staged mission’s big reward, then activate them together.
To boost his luck.
After all, his current power and authority were enough to sweep all ninja world threats.
But Parallel World 6’s unstarted mission gave Lux a slight headache.
Mainly because he didn’t know how to begin?
During the Sixth Hokage Kakashi’s tenure, the world was largely peaceful, making it hard to start.
Unless he chose the then-hidden Kara Organization, directly supporting them to start another Ninja World War?
Or advance the entry point far forward to the Fourth Great Ninja War, before Kakashi’s Hokage tenure?
The operational space at this ti point was vast.
Six Paths Obito, Six Paths Madara, Six Paths Naruto, Six Paths Sasuke, even Kaguya—all were decent unification candidates.
Who to choose?
’Forget it.’
’Wait for Minato to finish Parallel World 4’s unification, then decide.’
’During this ti, I’ll tour other Parallel Worlds to supervise and push them.’
Lux decided to take a break and visit familiar worlds first.
