Chapter 124: You want to go into business?
Myoboku-san Changsheng Peak
A few days later
Kaguya had long since shed her former wide and solemn robes.
She changed into a soft-cut white casual long dress, her long silver hair loosely tied into a bun, with a few strands falling beside her cheeks.
It lacked some of the awe-inspiring majesty of the creator god, but gained more of the gentle and graceful charm of an earthly woman.
"Hmm, this face mask is really good..."
Kaguya touched her face and said.
She then picked up a carved lipstick and gently applied it in front of the mirror. The deep red lipstick made her already stunning beauty even more breathtaking.
"The lipsticks are really good too. I'll ask Wanci for some different shades tomorrow..."
"Why are there so many good things in Wanci?!"
She winked at herself in the mirror, her heart filled with delight at these new things.
I've lived quite a long time, I suppose.
They didn't even know about all these great things.
(PS: I feel that Kaguya in the TV anime didn't live that long at all. She's such a love-struck person that she falls in love with someone just because they draped a coat over her shoulders and said a few words to her. This part of the anime is not very reasonable.)
The next second, she raised her hand to rub her cheek, frowned at herself in the mirror, and muttered to herself in a deliberately serious tone, "Oh dear! Kaguya, you've fallen so quickly?"
Why is your will so weak?
"The reason Wanci is so nice to you is because he's using you! He wants to turn you into his subordinate!"
"Become his pawn!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes again, her tone softening instantly, carrying a hint of relief and willingness:
"But he's really good to me..."
"Ultimately, I was the one who wronged him first, I betrayed him first, so it's normal for him to hold a grudge against me."
Even though I know he's using me, I'm willing to be used by him.
"And as long as I behave, he won't do anything to me..."
Kaguya muttered to herself.
Before Wanci could even say much, Kaguya had already won him over.
Just then.
10,000 occurrences
"Are you settling in well, Kaguya?"
Wanci asked casually, his hands behind his back.
Kaguya turned around abruptly at the sound, a slight reproach on her face, her brows furrowing in slight displeasure: "Couldn't you have knocked before coming in?"
Wan hesitated slightly upon hearing this, his gaze sweeping over her charming and vibrant appearance, so different from her usual self. After a moment of silence, he nodded gently: "Mm."
"I came to find you because I want to know about the Otsutsuki clan and Isshiki."
Wanci sat to the side and slowly explained the purpose of his trip.
Kaguya's expression turned slightly grave, her eyes filled with seriousness: "Their clan may descend upon the ninja world within the next thousand years. I will tell you their names and abilities; you must be careful."
"The Otsutsuki clan has always formed teams of two..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wanci interrupted her abruptly.
"I know that."
Wanci spoke calmly, lightly tapping the table with his fingertips, and slowly uttered three names: "There are still three Otsutsuki who have not yet arrived: Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki."
"How did you know all of this?"
Kaguya's red lips parted slightly, and her pure white eyes widened suddenly as she stared at Manji in disbelief.
As the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan, it was only natural that she knew about the clan's affairs. Yet, Manji was merely a figure in the ninja world, and he was able to accurately name Momoshiki and the other two.
"It's just some petty tricks; you don't need to know the specifics."
"My question now is, where are those three Ōtsutsuki now?"
Wanci's gaze darkened slightly.
Wanci secretly plotted that if he could find these three people, he could study the Otsutsuki's physical structure and bloodline power.
Kaguya shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with helplessness: "I really don't know. All three of them possess spatial escape techniques, making them appear and disappear unpredictably."
"If I could fully control the Heavenly Guardian, I might be able to find their spatial coordinates, but now that my strength has not recovered, I have no way to find them."
Manji hesitated for a moment, his eyes narrowing slightly, before speaking again, posing a question that shocked Kaguya even more: "Do you know Otsutsuki Yame?"
"You even know about him?!"
This time, Kaguya completely lost her composure. Her originally dignified expression instantly changed, and she stared at Manji with a look of utter astonishment, as if she had seen a ghost.
Knowing about Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki is already quite remarkable.
But Wanji even knew about Otsutsuki Yame, the legendary god of the Otsutsuki clan.
It will definitely open after 10,000 tries.
Wanci chuckled softly as he looked at her shocked expression.
"Heh, so now do you know where his body is?"
Asked the question ten thousand times.
Upon hearing this, Kaguya asked in confusion, "He's dead?"
Wanci's expression tightened.
I almost forgot the key thing
Kaguya had been lying low for many years, and her knowledge of the Otsutsuki clan's internal affairs was far less than Momoshiki's.
Wanci did not respond to Kaguya's previous words.
"You should know about Isshiki's situation, right? He also possesses spatial abilities, and did you know he's hiding a young Ten-Tails?" Manji asked.
Upon hearing this, Kaguya shook her head blankly, her eyes filled with innocent ignorance.
Wan Ci was speechless for a moment, remaining silent for a long while.
"By the way, you must know about Yin-Yang Release, right?" Manji asked again.
Kaguya nodded slightly, her tone resolute: "I know this, of course. It's a power controlled by Hagoromo. I could easily use it when I was at my peak."
"You want to study this technique? With your abilities, mastering Yin-Yang Escape should be a piece of cake."
Wan Ci's face darkened. It wasn't effortless at all; it was extremely difficult.
If it weren't for the system's layers of suppression above him, he would have been able to completely master Yin-Yang Escape at the Super Shadow or even Shadow level.
But now he is bound and has not even been able to condense the Truth-Seeking Jade. The only thing that is even remotely related to it is the Six Paths Sword.
"etc!"
Wan suddenly slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering the Six Paths Sword.
Yup!
The Six Paths Sword was originally forged using the power of Yin-Yang Escape. The sword itself contains the original power of Yin-Yang Escape. Perhaps I can draw some power from this sword.
The thought had barely formed in his mind when Wanci, eager to return home and immerse himself in his research, blurted out, "I'm leaving now."
Before he finished speaking, he turned to leave.
"Wait, wait!"
Kaguya quickly spoke up and called out to him.
Wanji stopped and turned to look at Kaguya in confusion: "Hmm?"
Kaguya's cheeks flushed slightly, and she pleaded hesitantly, "Um... could you give me some more cosmetics? They're really good... and also, could you give me a few new clothes?"
Ten thousand times slightly raised eyebrows
"I thought you were only focused on pursuing ultimate power and never cared about trivial things like appearance and makeup."
Wanci said with a hint of surprise.
It seems that Kaguya is just like any other woman in some ways.
"The pursuit of power is a helpless choice forced by the needs of the tribe and survival, but loving beauty is a woman's nature."
Kaguya pursed her lips, then glanced at him curiously. "Besides, don't you have a lot of weird and wonderful clothes in your closet too?"
"Um?"
Wanci's expression froze; he had actually forgotten about that.
Back when Wanci was still a "young man".
They specially commissioned Myobokusan Garment Factory to make a large number of different cosplay costumes.
Just to pass the time in the long years.
Although the transformation magic can change one's appearance at will, the feeling of wearing it personally is ultimately different.
It's just a tiny little quirk of mine, though.
[Note: Here, "cosplay" simply means wearing nice clothes, not animal costumes!]
"Ahem, I understand." Wanci coughed twice to cover his embarrassment and reluctantly nodded in agreement to Kaguya's request.
Seeing that Wanci agreed, Kaguya's eyes lit up, and she said seriously, "I can do things for you to repay you."
Previously, I noticed that Mount Myōboku had been infiltrating its influence into the human world. I can help Mount Myōboku make money by selling its cosmetics, record players, and cameras in the mortal realm; I'm sure we'll make a fortune.
"You want to go into business?" Wanci asked, his brows furrowing slightly, somewhat surprised.
"If you allow it, I will do my best to make up for the mistakes I made to you before."
Kaguya looked up, her eyes filled with utmost sincerity.
Wanci fell into deep thought and remained silent for a long time.
After a moment, Wan Ci slowly spoke: "I need to think about this matter."
After saying this, Wan Ci said no more, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.
After Manji had completely left, Kaguya lowered her eyes, a faint sense of loss rising in her heart, and murmured softly, "In the end, you still don't trust me..."
