Naruto: Swarm System

Although Shishou successfully tricked Otsutsuki Kaguya and held her hand, he didn't dare be too reckless. After holding her hand for two minutes, he quickly left the Land of Ancestors.

Kaguya looked at the hand Shishou had held, then at her swollen belly, and returned to the palace in the Land of Ancestors through the space of Yomotsu Hirasaka.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Land of Ancestors, Shishou used the Flying Thunder God technique to arrive at a desolate wilderness. He took out the already ruined three-tomoe Sharingan from his left eye and let out a sigh of relief.

The reason he had dared to be so bold and hold Kaguya's hand was entirely due to the existence of Izanagi. Using up a three-tomoe Sharingan just for holding hands might seem wasteful, but considering it was Otsutsuki Kaguya, it was worth it.

"I've already used two three-tomoe Sharingan..." Shishou muttered as he took out another Sharingan from his storage scroll and replaced his left eye. Most of his three-tomoe Sharingan were snatched from Danzo and Uchiha Obito, and he only had six or seven of them in total. He didn't have an entire wall of Sharingan like Obito.

Of course, Obito's Sharingan wall had already been destroyed by him, and Shishou wasn't sure how many Sharingan Obito had left.

"Now, let's head to Shikkotsu Forest, one of the three great Sage regions, and understand the current situation from the Great Slug Sage," Shishou thought as he identified the direction and activated Sage Mode, flying towards Shikkotsu Forest.

Even though it was a thousand years in the past, the landmasses of the ninja world hadn't changed much, so the location of Shikkotsu Forest should be the same as it would be a thousand years later.

While Shishou wanted to get closer to Otsutsuki Kaguya, he knew that the course of history must not be altered. He could only change minor events, but he couldn't tamper with major historical events like Kaguya's sealing.

So, he needed to plan carefully and understand the current situation.

The best source for this information was naturally the Great Slug Sage. Although the Great Slug Sage didn't know him at this time, she was always kind and approachable, making her the ideal candidate to seek out.

After flying for a while, Shishou found the secret entrance to Shikkotsu Forest and entered. As soon as he arrived, he saw a large slug the size of a football field crawling towards a distant acid pond.

"Little Slug," Shishou greeted as he approached the Great Slug Sage.

The Great Slug Sage turned her eyes to Shishou, blinked, and said, "For some reason, you seem familiar."

Shishou shrugged and said, "I'm from a thousand years in the future. In that time, we are partners."

"A thousand years later? How can you prove that?" the Great Slug Sage asked in surprise. She had heard of space-time ninjutsu but had never heard of time-travel ninjutsu.

"I also know Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Arts," Shishou said as he quickly formed hand seals.

"Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode, activate!"

As Shishou performed the Sage Art, lines resembling those of the Great Slug appeared on his body. Although Shishou later specialized in the Dragon Sage Arts of Ryuchi Cave, he still knew Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Arts, although he couldn't liquefy his body like the Great Slug Sage.

"It really is Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Arts..." The Great Slug Sage began to believe Shishou's words. After all, she was currently the only one in the world who could practice Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Arts.

Moreover, Shishou's method of practicing Shikkotsu Forest's Sage Arts for humans was something she had only recently created based on the chakra Kaguya had brought when she arrived. No one else knew about it.

Deactivating Shikkotsu Forest Sage Mode, Shishou said, "Little Slug, I need to know the current situation. Do you know anything about Otsutsuki Kaguya?"

The three great Sage regions, as local forces practicing natural energy, couldn't possibly be unaware of Kaguya and Isshiki planting the God Tree. Otherwise, the Great Toad Sage wouldn't have come out to stir things up.

The Great Slug Sage asked in astonishment, "What do you plan to do?"

Shishou spread his hands and said, "Help you seal Kaguya."

The God Tree consumes the planet's energy, including natural energy. In short, the God Tree is encroaching on the living space and influence of the three great Sage regions.

Because of this, the Great Toad Sage had jumped out to join forces with Hagoromo and Hamura to seal Kaguya. Although Shishou didn't like the Great Toad Sage, he had to admit it did a good job. Otherwise, if Kaguya were allowed to run rampant, the entire planet would become barren.

The Great Slug Sage looked at Shishou a few more times and asked, "Are you confident?"

She knew how powerful Kaguya and Isshiki were. Otherwise, the three great Sage regions wouldn't have let them cause havoc for so long. The reason there were only three great Sage regions left in the world was that Kaguya and Isshiki had wiped out all other natural energy-practicing local gods.

"I am from a thousand years in the future," Shishou said confidently.

He thought to himself, Even if I do nothing, you guys can still seal Kaguya.

After venting his thoughts, Shishou asked, "What is going on with Kaguya's pregnancy?"

Hearing Shishou's question, the Great Slug Sage explained, "Ever since Kaguya ate the God Tree's fruit, the surge in energy caused her body to experience some issues."

"Then, the Great Toad Sage had a prophecy and started encouraging people to bless the goddess Kaguya's pregnancy, trying to use the collective wish power of countless people to make it a reality and weaken her power by making her bear a child."

"And as more people blessed her, Kaguya's belly grew larger. She seems a bit slow-witted and just accepted this explanation."

Seems a bit slow-witted...

Hearing the Great Slug Sage's brutal honesty, Shishou couldn't help but laugh.

Then he asked, "So, what exactly is in Kaguya's belly? Is it really a child?"

The Great Slug Sage replied matter-of-factly, "It's actually the uncontrollable power of the God Tree that Kaguya temporarily can't handle after eating the fruit."

Realizing that the thing in Kaguya's belly was indeed uncontrollable chakra, Shishou asked curiously, "Since it's the God Tree's power, how does that toad plan to make Kaguya bear a child?"

The Great Slug Sage glanced at Shishou and said, "Energy can give birth to life when it becomes concentrated enough, especially with the added power of countless wishes..."

So that's how it is?

Hearing the Great Slug Sage's explanation, Shishou was stunned.

Then he immediately thought of the tailed beasts that Hagoromo created by splitting the Ten-Tails. These tailed beasts were essentially chakra beings, fitting perfectly with what the Great Slug Sage said.

In other words, Hamura and Hagoromo were actually just the result of Kaguya's indigestion after consuming the God Tree's fruit... sons???
