Chapter 321: Princess Kaguya, I'm Back! [25]
Konoha.
At the top of the Hokage Tower.
This was a room exuding elegance and simplicity, where Feng Ye usually read, containing only a small table and a few cushions.
Sliding the door open, a corridor about two meters wide lay beyond. The entire corridor was wooden, leading to a small courtyard with flowers and plants.
At that moment.
Feng Ye sat on a straw mat in the corridor, with a potted plant in front of him. He held a pair of scissors and was observing it with his head tilted, making occasional trims.
Hinata stood beside him, recounting the process and details of the mission she had just completed.
It had been three months since they returned from the Land of Snow.
Since then, Hinata had taken on numerous missions, executing them one by one without Feng Ye's accompaniment. However, he had infused her with a bit of chakra, keeping a constant eye on her situation. Thankfully, most of the missions had posed no significant challenges, and she had performed admirably in completing them.
With the amount of chakra she currently possessed, she had reached the level of a Kage. Although her usage was still somewhat rough, not allowing her to unleash her full power, her strength had reached the level of a Jonin. Her formidable abilities made up for her gentle personality to some extent.
"...And that's how the mission concluded."
Hinata's soft, jade-like feet stepped on the redwood floor as she spoke softly, finishing her report. She stood there slightly anxiously, awaiting Feng Ye's evaluation.
Hearing this, Feng Ye, who had shown little reaction up to this point, stopped his movements and turned to her, a smile appearing on his face. "You completed the mission very well."
"Y-yes!"
Hearing Feng Ye's words, Hinata breathed a sigh of relief and smiled adorably, nodding vigorously.
Just as Feng Ye was about to say something else, a voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Lord Hokage, you're spoiling her too much. She merely completed the mission adequately; there's still some distance to call it outstanding."
Terumi Mei, wearing a blue blouse, approached from the back of the corridor. The blue blouse she wore was small and short, exposing her round and fair shoulders. The hem barely covered her thighs, and her long, slender legs were devoid of any excess fat, exuding a breathtaking allure.
She held a wooden tray with some tea and snacks.
Seeing Terumi Mei approaching, Hinata paused for a moment before lowering her head involuntarily. Her cheeks turned slightly pink, and the thought that crossed her mind was, 'How could Lady Terumi Mei walk over like that?'
"No, she did very well indeed."
Feng Ye chuckled softly. "You shouldn't compare the standards of our time with those of the present. Back then, it was a time of war..."
Terumi Mei placed the tea and snacks next to Feng Ye and said with a smile, "But Hinata is your disciple. Shouldn't she be held to the highest standards?"
"Hinata and Itachi are different."
Feng Ye shook his head.
Uchiha Itachi was being cultivated as an elite ninja, expected to excel in every aspect. However, Hinata's future responsibility would be to manage the tailed beasts, and a gentler personality and approach would be more beneficial. Naturally, they needed to be nurtured in different directions and thus couldn't be measured by the same standard.
"Is that so?"
"How are they different?"
Terumi Mei knelt down behind Feng Ye, her arms reaching around his shoulders and hugging his neck. She deliberately leaned her body against his.
Hinata, who was cautiously raising her head, happened to catch this scene, and her head shot down again. Her face turned slightly hot, and she didn't dare to look up for a while.
Bang!
Feng Ye's right hand stretched out and tapped Terumi Mei's forehead with his finger, annoyed. "What are you doing? Behave more appropriately."
Bang!!
Hinata almost stumbled.
Steam seemed to rise from her head, and she didn't dare to look up at Feng Ye and Terumi Mei. Flustered, she said, "Te-teacher... I, I'm leaving now!"
With that, she immediately ran out, nearly colliding with the pillar next to her in her haste.
Feng Ye put down the scissors in his hand, picked up the tea that Terumi Mei had brought, and took a sip. "She has inherited the chakra of the Otsutsuki Clan from Hagoromo Otsutsuki. In the future, she will become a powerful existence, perhaps even approaching Kakashi's level, so she must be guided properly."
"Is that so?"
Terumi Mei tilted her head in surprise. "I thought you liked this type and had some sort of nurturing or training fetish... Ouch..."
Feng Ye expressionlessly picked up a piece of cake from the wooden tray and stuffed it into Terumi Mei's mouth, interrupting her. "Alright, that's enough from you."
Terumi Mei's eyes sparkled as she easily swallowed the cake, then leaned forward and placed her hands on the floor.
She leaned in closer, taking Feng Ye's finger into her mouth.
Feng Ye's body stiffened slightly, and just as he was about to say something, his eyes narrowed as he looked up at the sky beyond the corridor.
Terumi Mei, who had been gazing at Feng Ye with passionate eyes, noticed his change in expression and paused, following his gaze toward the sky.
There, in the night sky, hung a massive red moon. On its surface, ripples appeared along with the symbol of the Magatama, and then it blossomed with dazzling white light.
"This is..."
"Infinite Tsukuyomi!"
Feng Ye's eyes flickered, and he abruptly stood up.
...
Time rewound slightly.
Ninja World.
In a secluded mountain range.
A dragon vein of energy surged beneath the mountains.
Suddenly, the purple dragon vein energy solidified, then rapidly contracted toward the center, gathering at incredible speed and erupting with brilliant purple light.
Then...
Boom!!!
An enormous burst of chakra exploded from within.
The entire mountain range was blown apart, and the purple light pierced the clouds, warping space-time as a figure emerged.
She had long, white hair that flowed down her back, and the nine-tailed tomoe Rinnegan in her forehead emitted an eerie glow. The white eyes within exuded a terrifying pressure.
She was—
Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki!
The purple dragon vein energy gradually dried up and disappeared, and Princess Kaguya's flowing white hair began to fall gently.
"Finally... I'm back."
Princess Kaguya slowly raised her head.
In a parallel world, she had assisted her parallel self in breaking the seal, and together, they had gathered all the tailed beasts, regaining her full power.
However, because she did not belong to that world, she soon faced rejection from it. This rejection grew stronger, eventually forcing her back to her original world.
But.
Even though she had been forced back, with the help of her counterpart from the other world, she had still managed to bring back enough power to unleash the Infinite Tsukuyomi!
"Finally, I will..."
"...reclaim all the chakra."
Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki took a breath and slowly opened her hands. The nine-tailed tomoe Rinnegan in her forehead suddenly emitted a scarlet light.
This scarlet light instantly projected onto the moon hanging in the sky, causing ripples to appear on its surface, like a massive projection.
Buzz!!!
White light shone upon the land.
It penetrated all buildings and shadows, illuminating everything, turning the night of the Ninja World into day.
