Naruto: Swarm System

The Land of Ancestors.

On the top floor of a luxurious hundred-meter-high building, Shishou lay on a lounge chair on the terrace, staring at the clouds in the sky, lost in thought.

Unconsciously, he had been in this era for several years already.

During these years, he had finally found traces of the Dragon Vein, although he had yet to find a way back to the future.

As for Jigen, he had also been found through the Great Katsuyu Sage. An immortal body that doesn't age or die stands out significantly in an era where the average lifespan is only forty or fifty years.

However, to avoid alerting the enemy, he had not yet informed Kaguya of this discovery.

Naturally, over these years, his relationship with Kaguya had grown closer. Under his influence, Kaguya had become more human-like, no longer the high and mighty Rabbit Goddess.

Next to Shishou, Kaguya also lay on a lounge chair, quietly watching the sky.

As an immortal, Kaguya could lie like this all day.

Primarily, after consuming the God Tree Fruit, Kaguya could see deep into the universe through the sky.

While the sky seemed ordinary to others, it was colorful and vibrant to Kaguya.

By observing the changes in the depths of the universe, she could further detect any sudden attacks from the Otsutsuki clan, allowing her to prepare in advance.

Additionally, she could use this method to search for the next suitable planet to plant a God Tree.

"Mother."

After a while, the four- or five-year-old Hagoromo and Hamura came to Kaguya's side, respectfully greeting her.

"Hmm." Kaguya casually acknowledged, indicating she had heard them.

Then, the brothers went to Shishou's side, climbing onto his lounge chair, saying, "Father, take us to play."

"Sure, what do you want to play?" Shishou happily replied, holding one child in each arm.

Indeed, Shishou, now known as Tenzi, was the father of Hagoromo and Hamura and had become the Daimyo of the Land of Ancestors, nominally Kaguya's husband.

Seeing how much Hagoromo and Hamura liked Shishou, Kaguya frowned slightly.

Even though she had given birth to them, they liked Shishou more, which made her feel a bit jealous and upset...

Thus, Kaguya said directly, "Hagoromo, Hamura, your father and I have something to do later. You should leave now."

She had nothing to do; she just didn't like seeing Shishou and the children so close together.

"Yes, Mother."

Hagoromo and Hamura reluctantly got off Shishou and left.

They dared not disobey their mother, Kaguya's, will.

After the children left, Shishou chuckled and said, "If you envy our relationship, you shouldn't keep up such a facade."

"Hmph!"

Kaguya snorted coldly, refusing to admit she envied the close interactions between Shishou and the children.

As a member of the Otsutsuki clan, who sought eternal life, she would not care too much about feelings.

Definitely not!

Although Shishou was her future husband and Hagoromo and Hamura were her children, in Kaguya's view, they would eventually age and die after spending some time with her.

The thought of Shishou aging and leaving her one day made Kaguya feel at a loss.

Through these years of companionship, she had become accustomed to Shishou's presence, eating meals with him, educating Hagoromo and Hamura together, and especially to his chakra collection plans, ensuring a stable influx of chakra.

Without Shishou, Kaguya seriously doubted her ability to manage the animals in the Genesis Space since she didn't understand it herself.

Should she defeat the Otsutsuki pursuers and have extra fruits, should she let him consume a God Tree Fruit too? This way, he could be with her forever...

Kaguya hesitated, contemplating these thoughts.

Unaware of Kaguya's inner thoughts, Shishou merely looked at her stubborn denial with some disdain.

Then, Shishou continued, "Since you sent Hagoromo and Hamura away, let's go check on the Genesis Zoo."

Over the past few years, Shishou and Kaguya had transformed the environment within the Genesis Space, creating a habitat suitable for the animals and introducing a large number of animals and White Zetsu.

He also learned communication techniques with animals from the Great Katsuyu Sage, enabling the White Zetsu to teach the animals to absorb natural energy and refine chakra.

As soon as Shishou finished speaking, Kaguya grabbed his hand and transported them through Yomotsu Hirasaka, appearing in the Genesis Space.

The Genesis Space had undergone a massive transformation, with Kaguya's castle and statue suspended in the sky.

Below, dense forests and grasslands thrived, teeming with wild animals, bustling with life.

At the edge of the vegetation, a large village housed dozens of White Zetsu, busy modifying the environment and teaching the animals.

These White Zetsu were former bandits captured by Shishou and infused with Hashirama cells, enabling them to use basic Wood Release, acting as the second batch of managers for the Genesis Zoo.

"There are about five thousand animals now, and most have chakra and sage energy," Kaguya commented, nodding in satisfaction.

Soon, she could harvest the second batch of chakra.

Hearing this, Shishou glared at Kaguya, scolding, "If you weren't so greedy last year, draining all the chakra and energy from the animals, we'd have more animals now."

"If you do that again, I won't help you anymore."

Originally, the animals in the Genesis Zoo had grown to over ten thousand under his and the White Zetsu's efforts.

However, Kaguya's greed during the first chakra harvest drained the animals, killing them all.

As a result, he had to start over, capturing more animals from the ninja world, and only managed to raise a thousand now.

Therefore, Shishou deeply despised Kaguya's exploitative behavior.

"Hmph!"

Kaguya snorted coldly, ignoring him.

Seeing her indifferent attitude, Shishou raised his hand and said, "How will you compensate me?"

"Compensate?" Kaguya blinked, suspecting Shishou wanted a share of the chakra from her last harvest.

Shishou smiled and said, "Look, I've been here for so long, done so much for you, and got nothing in return. Don't you think you owe me compensation?"

Kaguya huffed, "You're my husband. Isn't helping me your duty?"

She would never give her chakra to anyone!

Over the years, Kaguya had somewhat grasped the concept of marriage, but only slightly.

Hearing this, Shishou approached Kaguya, holding her hand and smiling, "Then you wouldn't object if I did something a husband should do."

Looking at Kaguya's delicate, indifferent face, Shishou leaned in and kissed her soft, pale lips.

Kaguya blinked, a strange feeling spreading in her heart.

However, for some reason, she didn't dislike this feeling.
