Chapter 155: The Hunt for Kaguya Begins
"What? You know where Kaguya Ōtsutsuki is?"
"Let's go—let's find and eliminate the disgrace of the Ōtsutsuki clan—Kaguya Ōtsutsuki."
Hearing this, Kinshiki and Urashiki Ōtsutsuki froze for a moment, then their eyes gleamed with excitement. Their voices turned cold and sharp.
There was no need for further discussion.
As far as they were concerned, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was a stain upon their clan's legacy.
Though they had long lost track of her whereabouts, now that they had a lead, her fate was sealed in their eyes.
"Kaguya Ōtsutsuki must die."
At this moment, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "The presence I sensed earlier seems to have been intentionally released. This might not be as straightforward as it looks."
"It doesn't matter," Kinshiki said indifferently. "After all these years, even someone as powerful as Kaguya Ōtsutsuki can't cause a ripple."
"In the face of absolute strength, no scheme matters."
Urashiki grinned darkly and added, "This time, we'll show Kaguya what true power from the Ōtsutsuki clan really looks like."
"Fine."
Momoshiki glanced expressionlessly at Kinshiki and Urashiki and said flatly, "You two go find Kaguya first. If possible, secure the Divine Tree and bring it back. I'll return to the main clan to report our progress."
"No problem."
"Leave it to us."
Suppressing the joy surging in their hearts, Kinshiki and Urashiki nodded firmly.
To them, it felt like Momoshiki was letting them take the credit.
A mere Kaguya Ōtsutsuki? They didn't believe she could shake the heavens.
If they succeeded in retrieving the Divine Tree and delivering it back to the main clan, their status would skyrocket.
"Very well."
Momoshiki said coldly, "I'll share the exact coordinates of Kaguya's location."
Swish!
As he finished speaking, his pupil power surged, and a dark, swirling space-time vortex appeared before them.
A few seconds later, Momoshiki casually pointed to the wormhole and said, "That passage will take you directly to her location."
"Thank you, Lord Momoshiki. We'll go ahead."
"Hahaha, time to meet the disgrace of our clan."
With that, Kinshiki and Urashiki transformed into blurs and vanished into the spatial rift.
"Let's just hope... nothing unexpected happens."
After they departed, Momoshiki let out a faint sigh.
He hadn't told them everything.
He hadn't just sensed Kaguya's chakra—but several other powerful presences as well.
And it seemed... Kaguya was being suppressed.
That realization chilled him.
So instead of acting rashly, Momoshiki chose to let Kinshiki and Urashiki test the waters.
"Something's off... it's too strange. I'd better return to Ōtsutsuki Main House and report this."
With that thought, his expression hardened and he disappeared into the void.

Meanwhile — Ninja World, Konohagakure
After the Fifth Hokage successfully rescued Hinata Hyuga, the entire village was still reeling from the shock.
Until recently, the moon had been an unreachable celestial body.
But now?
The moon had essentially become an extension of Konoha.
It was mind-boggling to even think about.
In the past, while countless shinobi skirmished across the continents, the Fifth Hokage had already begun exploring the stars.
His grand ambition and vision made many Konoha ninjas feel utterly humbled.

Hokage's Office, Hokage Tower, Central Konoha
"W-What? Fifth Hokage-sama, you're saying... you want to develop the moon?!"
"Is that even possible?"
"Are there still people up there?"
"How would we even reach it...?"
Tsunade, Uchiha Fugaku, Hiashi Hyuga, Nara Shikaku, and others all stared at Uchiha Yuta in disbelief.
They couldn't help themselves.
Everything the Fifth Hokage had done recently was too shocking.
After successfully rescuing Hinata, morale was already high.
But now? The idea of developing the moon as Konoha's backyard was utterly surreal.
"The moon... already belongs to Konoha," Uchiha Yuta said calmly, sipping hot tea.
"Developing it will boost our village's invisible power and unity. It'll once again make the entire shinobi world tremble at our name."
"W-Well... alright," Tsunade hesitated for a moment and then nodded, rubbing her temples. "I'll get people working on development. We'll turn the moon into Konoha's newest tourist attraction as soon as possible."
"Oh, and one more thing," Uchiha Yuta added casually. "I've already opened the space-time passage to the moon. You can travel back and forth freely now."
"Excellent!"
Tsunade's face lit up with joy. "This will make development so much easier."
"Hokage-sama..." Hinata asked cautiously, "Does the Ōtsutsuki clan on the moon still exist?"
"They've been wiped out," Uchiha Yuta said nonchalantly. "Only the Ōtsutsuki residence remains—completely deserted."
"Whew..."
Hinata let out a deep sigh of relief.
"Our Hyuga clan... no longer needs to fear the Ōtsutsuki threat from the moon."
