Chapter 5 – First Mission
After we decided to go on the mission together, we went to the Administrative Bureau within the Headquarters of the Clan to get the appropriate mission. Kirihara and I were strong Ōtsutsuki Clansmen of the Divine Lineage and mastered basic Dōjutsu and Abilities.
Not to mention that I was very proficient in the Kenjutsu and my unique ability I awakened when I ate the Supreme-Grade Chakra Fruit, Magnetokinesis. I could essentially control any Metal-type I wished with little to no chakra.
When we entered the Administrative Bureau, we went directly to the person in charge of it, who was one of the Elders of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, named Ōtsutsuki Jin. He was an old man, at least with several thousands of years to him, who spent who day with paperwork and bureaucracy.
According to what I heard, he liked it... which was pretty weird because nobody liked paperwork.
"Greetings, Honorable Elder."
Both of us greeted the Elder, who was from the Main Family and was a powerful Tier 4 expert within the Clan.
"Greetings to you as well, Crown Prince and Princess. What brings the members of the Divine Lineage to my humble place."
Ōtsutsuki Clansmen that were from the Divine Lineage had titles Prince and Princesses and because there were not many of us, the actual number counting all generations would be something around 100, probably.
It was easy to distinguish who was who.
"We wish to take a mission; it is one to Planet Earth located in the 7th Galactical Segment, Milky Way Galaxy, Iklaath Star Cluster, Solar System X-103. Mission: Investigate the disappearance of two Branch Clan Members and rumors of Low-Ranking Branch Clansmen Ōtsutsuki Kaguya giving the native population access to Chakra."
And as Kirihara dictated the details of the mission, Elder Jin searched for it within the Extranet and soon enough found the corresponding mission.
"Yes, I have it here... Requirements: At least Tier 2 power and... ability to perform Divination on the Planet. It seems that Grand Elder Muzan wants to experiment with that world a bit..."
This left me and Kirihara surprised a bit, but their objective became much easier now that the big shots are aware of the situation on Planet Earth. Indeed it was a grave danger and the gravest sin, but at the same time, it presented an opportunity to the Clan.
To observe the development of the civilization with Chakra and how knows what it will give them in the end. For that purpose, someone from the Divine Lineage needed to go there and perform Divination with Senrinjōnegan or Senringan on the Planet.
"Then we accept the mission and will depart immediately."
I heard Kirihara say as Elder Jin then formally assigned the mission to us, with rewards being a few thousand Credits. It was not a lot to them, but at the same time, it was a good amount for just going to check on some random planet.
"So, when had Ōtsutsuki Kaguya apparently given Chakra to humans?"
I asked as we left the Administrative Bureau and looked at Kirihara, who appeared to studied the mission more closely than me, who knew only some things according to the canon.
"A few centuries ago... she, together with another Clansmen from the Branch Clan, High-Ranking Member, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, were dispatched to that Planet to plant the God Tree and harvest the Chakra Fruit. It seems that Ōtsutsuki Kaguya betrayed Isshiki and kept the Chakra Fruit for herself. Not unusual among the Branch Clan, but I wonder what has led her to share the Chakra with natives."
I nodded as we then departed towards Planet Earth as a long journey awaited us... unfortunately, Planet Earth was good distance away from Planet Tengoku, where the Headquarters of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was located.
"Do you have your Ten-Tails?"
I asked Kirihara because, before anything, we were heading to pick up my Ten-Tails at my home. Seeing Kirihara shaking her head in denial, we would need to be okay with only one for the time being.
I knew that there was another one on Earth, but before the Divination was done, I could do nothing about the creature.
"Then the one I have should be enough in case it would be needed. Also, what are the dangers of the place where are we heading?"
I asked as we were walking to my house while Kirihara was explaining to me the situation o the Universe.
"Surprisingly, the Milky Way Galaxy is a rather desolate place within our Southern Cosmic Region, located on the borders with the Western Cosmic Region, so the influence of some Gods is very noticeable among the mortal civilizations. That is why some Clansmen are sent there every few hundred or thousand years to plant God Trees."
No wonder nobody was bothered by the disappearance of the Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki in that place because it was far from the reach of the Ōtsutsuki Clan as there was literally nothing of interest.
They were sent there to conduct preliminary scouting of the area and write down all civilizations and Life Planets that could be used for the harvest.
"And it is possible that we would encounter some Apostles of Gods... again... hopefully it would be one of Jashin's so I can return the favor for my poor God Tree."
Kirihara said with anger as she thought about the mad God of Death.
Apostles of Gods were rather common in the border area, mostly because there were pretty weak and nobody would notice when some appeared on the Planet.
"Be careful about what you wish... if Jashin decided to forge the Apostle and use him as his vessel, then he could bring out even peak Tier 2 power from it. And Gods like Jashin are not easy to deal with..."
I said seriously because Gods were dangerous with their methods, not all of them, but some were a pain in the ass to deal with. Even counting out the "cheat" abilities of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
"Ts... don't worry... this time I will be prepared thoroughly..."
Seeing my fianceé muttering with a dangerous grin, I sighed, hoping that she was speaking the truth and hoping that we won't be meeting anyone related to the more powerful Gods.
