Chapter 777: Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Intelligence
Suddenly, a strange feeling washed over Itachi. It was just a random guess, but it felt as if he had suddenly hit the mark. Who could possibly understand this feeling! At this moment, Kaguya felt that the way Itachi was looking at her was a bit strange.
"What are you looking at me for?"
Hearing this, Itachi awkwardly scratched his head, then used laughter to cover his embarrassment. "No! It's nothing, I just think you're very beautiful!"
The moment he said this, Itachi immediately felt like he should be damned. How could he say such a thing to his own sister-in-law!
Kaguya nodded with a matter-of-fact expression. "I think so too, so there's no problem with me becoming Sasuke's wife, right!"
Itachi nodded and said, "No problem!" After saying that, he was stunned. "What did you just say?"
Sasuke sighed helplessly. "Don't mind her. This woman is a bit neurotic!"
Uh! This was, after all, the former progenitor of chakra! And Sasuke was using such words to describe her. It seemed a bit inappropriate! Now Itachi was a little unsure of what to say.
"You, as the strongest of humanity, and I can be considered a beauty. A beauty matches a strong man. Isn't that what all your human books say?"
"Is there any problem with my understanding?" Kaguya looked at the other people around her. At this moment, the Uchiha clan ninja all seemed to have suddenly gone deaf, all playing deaf and dumb, as if they hadn't heard anything. Obito also turned his head. He wanted to go see Rin now and had no time to watch Sasuke and this Ōtsutsutsuki woman being affectionate here.
However, this matter did shock him greatly. Even a woman from the Ōtsutsutsuki clan was interested in Sasuke. Sasuke, this powerhouse, was indeed worthy of his reputation.
"Lord Sasuke!" Suddenly, an Anbu ninja appeared and whispered a few words in Sasuke's ear.
Sasuke immediately got up. "I know!"
"Itachi! Sarada is very safe, you don't need to worry. I'm going to the Hokage building now. Your body is fine. You can manage the Uchiha clan for a while!" As he spoke, Sasuke's figure vanished in an instant.
And Kaguya followed closely behind, opening a spatial passage and directly following Sasuke's chakra to the Hokage building.
Office! Shikamaru looked at Sasuke. "The situation is a bit off!"
Sasuke frowned and turned to look at Kaguya Ōtsutsutsuki. At this time, what was the meaning of this woman following him here? However, Shikamaru didn't mind Kaguya's presence at all. Soon, Naruto also appeared.
"What's wrong, Shikamaru!"
Shikamaru gestured for everyone to look at the screen. The next second, what appeared on the screen was a map of the entire battlefield, with the distribution of enemy and friendly ninja marked on it. The strange point was that the ninja of the Mist, Stone, and Cloud villages were gathering on a small scale. From the initial ninja squads, they were becoming small ninja forces, and there were even signs of them continuously gathering into ten-thousand-strong forces.
"Are they trying to concentrate their forces for a decisive battle with us?" a Konoha ninja from the strategy department said.
Shikamaru shook his head. "Absolutely impossible!"
"They are not fools. If they dare to do that, the only outcome will be a complete defeat." A decisive battle? That was something Konoha was hoping for, so the other side couldn't be so foolish. To have a decisive battle with Konoha at this time, Konoha could gather its ninja forces and quickly form a large scale with ease. At that time, it would be even easier to annihilate these ninja. So they would not use such a foolish method to force Konoha into a decisive battle!
"Then Shikamaru, what do you think their purpose is?"
Hearing this, Shikamaru frowned. "I think there is only one possibility!"
"That is, they want to avoid casualties in this way, while also temporarily resting, and then find a way to launch a surprise attack and seriously injure us!" The combat power of small units and large-scale ninja forces was completely different. In this situation, for Konoha's scattered small ninja units to cause damage to them was clearly impossible. On the contrary, a blind attack would make Konoha suffer greatly.
"Shikamaru's analysis should be correct!" After thinking carefully for a while, Naruto felt that this was also likely the case. After all, now that the war had begun, it couldn't be over in an instant.
But at this time, Sasuke felt that something was wrong. At the beginning, they were for the sake of eliminating Konoha, but now, the gathering of such ninja forces, on the contrary, did not seem to be for the sake of eliminating Konoha. Who would be happy to see so many ninja gathered? Of course, that would be!
"Perhaps it's the work of Isshiki and the others!" Kaguya suddenly spoke up. She glanced at Sasuke, then looked at everyone.
"In Isshiki's alternate dimension, there is a Ten-Tails summoned by the power of four extremely powerful Ōtsutsuki. And this Ten-Tails has already evolved into a God Tree and now needs nourishment."
"They can't get the Tailed Beasts, but if there are enough human ninja to provide nourishment for the God Tree and be absorbed by it, then the God Tree can also condense a chakra fruit!"
"And once Isshiki and the others get the chakra fruit, their strength will advance by leaps and bounds."
With Kaguya's words, Shikamaru didn't have time to be surprised. He first carefully considered the possibility of this plan. Indeed! It was very possible! The gathering of these ninja, if there really was a new God Tree as Kaguya said, then in fact, it was Isshiki and the others who, seeing that there was no hope of dealing with Konoha's ninja, had settled for the next best thing and gathered the ninja of the other villages. This way, all the ninja of each village would be sent to the God Tree. The number would be as many as a million. Such a large-scale ninja force would probably be enough to feed the God Tree!
"Then we absolutely cannot let them gather their ninja forces!" Shikamaru said.
At this time, Naruto looked at Kaguya. "You just said 'they'!"
"How many Ōtsutsuki are there in total?"
Hearing this question, Kaguya turned her head and glanced at Sasuke. "I will share all the intelligence I know with you. That will prove that I really want to marry you!"
Eh? Instantly, Naruto's face turned a little red. Was this such a touching confession? This sudden confession at this time caught everyone in the office off guard. But Sasuke understood that this was a load of nonsense. This woman just wanted to show her loyalty. This woman probably didn't even know what a confession was!
"I know, I know. Just say it! How many Ōtsutsutsuki are there in total!" Sasuke urged Kaguya to speak quickly and stop saying strange things.
"Ōtsutsutsuki Isshiki, Ōtsutsutsuki Momoshiki, Ōtsutsutsuki Kinshiki, you know them. Then do you know Ōtsutsutsuki Shibai and Ōtsutsutsuki Koshiki?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded. Sasuke and Naruto had encountered these two Ōtsutsuki before.
"I didn't expect you to have met the two of them. But there are two more Ōtsutsutsuki."
"Ōtsutsutsuki Urashiki and Ōtsutsutsuki Ryūshiki!"
Urashiki? Ryūshiki? Sasuke knew Urashiki, the disgrace of the Ōtsutsutsuki. But who was Ryūshiki?
"It seems you two..." Just as Kaguya was speaking, Sasuke suddenly spoke up. "Wait, you just said Ōtsutsutsuki Urashiki, Ōtsutsutsuki Ryūshiki!"
"Urashiki is the one being guarded, so is that Ōtsutsutsuki Ryūshiki the guardian?"
Kaguya nodded. "That's right, why?"
