Three months later, on the Moon, within the Tenseigan Chamber (Energy Vessel).
While leisurely eating grapes, Kyōsuke quietly listened to the reports from his subordinates.
"The remaining members of the Tsukigakure Clan have all been exterminated."
"We have captured over three hundred elderly, women, and children, with an innumerable amount of resources and materials."
"Our people are currently sweeping through various locations, and we expect more detailed results to be submitted soon."
In the final defense battle of the Land of Rain, Kyōsuke's army suffered "heavy casualties," nearly reaching the point of complete annihilation.
In truth, his subordinates had only faked their deaths. Aside from those who had established families, the rest had all moved to the Moon to develop the new base.
The Moon was rich in resources, with abundant vegetation and water sources. It was even possible to cultivate the land and raise livestock.
Regardless of future developments, the Moon would undoubtedly become the most important rear base for Kyōsuke.
To that end, he spared no effort in creating a space-time barrier for easy travel back and forth.
He even entrusted his two subordinates with the Flying Thunder God technique, hoping that, in his absence, they would take responsibility for the development of the Moon base.
From today onward, his loyal subordinates would gradually move over. Izumi would oversee this task, while Maya would stay within the clan to assist him.
Spitting out the grape skin, Kyōsuke pondered over how to deal with those women and children.
"Lord, why not just kill them all and eliminate any future threats?" Maya gestured with a throat-slashing motion.
"Please, that's over three hundred people," Kyōsuke rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "How can you be so cruel?"
Uchiha Maya replied, "...Then what do you suggest?"
"I'll think about it," Kyōsuke said, lowering his head in contemplation.
The Ōtsutsuki bloodline on the Moon was thick, making them excellent candidates for experimentation.
Moreover, their eyes could potentially be fused into a massive source of energy; it would be a waste to throw them away.
"These people should not be killed. The weak and elderly will be sent to Yayoi as test subjects."
"As for the others, anyone over the age of thirty should have their eyes taken and kept. They may prove useful to me in the future."
"That's the general plan. You can take care of the rest."
"...Understood," Maya blinked, momentarily unsure of what the word "cruelty" truly meant.
"By the way," Kyōsuke suddenly had a brilliant idea, his mind lighting up. "In the future, encourage more intermarriage between our clan and the Tsukigakure Clan. it will definitely produce exceptionally outstanding descendants."
Uchiha represented the power of Hagoromo, while the Moon's native population represented the power of his brother Otsutsuki Hamura.
By combining both, they might create ninjas with exceptional talent and great potential.
Perhaps, like Naruto and Hinata, they could even give birth to a genius with the "Pure Eyes."
"In the future, if the opportunity arises, we should try to transfer some members from the Uzumaki and Hyūga clans to contribute to the growth of the Uchiha."
A faint smile curled on Kyōsuke's lips as he stood up and left the Tenseigan Chamber.
After three months of hard work, the construction on the Moon was gradually getting on track.
The remaining tasks were not his concern; the only issue left was to investigate any potential hidden dangers.
For instance, whether Ōtsutsuki Hamura was still alive.
Or, he could attempt to visit the Rabbit Goddess from the myths and legends.
"Thinking about it, it's really exciting."
The Tsukigakure Clan had carried out a special mission since ancient times.
Behind the Moon Palace stood a special shrine, where only the clan leaders of each generation were allowed to go and listen to the teachings of their ancestors.
Without a doubt, Kyōsuke knew that there must be something strange going on there.
With nothing else to do, Kyōsuke decided to visit the shrine alone and investigate.
Soon, he arrived at the Tsukigakure Clan's neatly kept shrine.
After carefully reading the inscriptions on the monument, he began to understand a few things.
"As expected, it's a brief record of Kaguya's life," Kyōsuke muttered, shaking his head, then, curious, he lit the fire at the shrine.
The next moment, green flames rose, and within them, a shadowy figure seemed to move.
"This is..." Kyōsuke's eyes widened slightly. How could he not recognize the unmistakable, distinctive appearance of the Ōtsutsuki?
The figure in the flames was none other than the ancestor of the Tsukigakure-Otsutsuki Clan, the phantom image of Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo's brother, Ōtsutsuki Hamura.
"My name is Ōtsutsuki Hamura, and I am Kaguya's second son," the figure declared.
For the next while, this ancestor began recounting the "secrets" that Kyōsuke had already known.
"...That's about the gist of it," the phantom figure finally concluded its long explanation.
At this point, Kyōsuke thought the projection would soon fade away.
Having wasted so much time at the entrance, Kyōsuke was now eager to meet Ōtsutsuki Kaguya in person.
He wondered if the seal of the Six Paths–Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation) would have stripped her of her consciousness.
If he could wake her, perhaps they'd have a chance to talk.
Just as he was about to bypass the shrine's altar, Kyōsuke suddenly felt that something was off.
Why hasn't Hamura's phantom figure disappeared yet?
Moreover, the expression seemed to have gained a hint of life, far more dynamic than before.
"Could it be..." Kyōsuke swallowed nervously, realizing he had somehow found himself in an unexpected situation.
What started as a casual mountain trip had turned into something far more complicated.
What was happening now?
Unsure of how to proceed, he could only watch as Hamura's phantom figure slowly regained its awareness.
Kyōsuke sensed that this wasn't the true form of Hamura, but rather a projection of his thoughts or intent.
The reason for this awakening was most likely due to Kyōsuke himself—someone not of the Ōtsutsuki bloodline.
As he had suspected, there must have been some sort of warning set up at the entrance to the seal, and it seemed that even this brother of the Sage of Six Paths had left behind a lingering remnant here.
Anyway, since he was already there, he might as well stay and see how things would unfold.
"I am Ōtsutsuki Hamura. Intruder, state your name," the figure now spoke with a commanding presence.
"Uh, I'm Uchiha Kyōsuke," Kyōsuke began, intending to sound serious, but the gap in their energy was just too great for him to maintain his composure.
Sigh, being a 12 year-old was tough.
The name Uchiha seemed to stir a memory within the ethereal figure.
Yes, he had come to the moon, but that didn't mean he had severed all ties with his older brother.
With Hamura's abilities, traveling between planets was hardly a challenge. He had even met his brother's son, Indra.
Naturally, he knew that the Uchiha were descendants of Indra.
Speaking of which, the destruction of the Ninja Sect seemed...
The phantom figure let out a strange sigh. Upon learning that the visitor was a descendant of Indra, it appeared to relax, letting go of some of its previous wariness.
Seeing this, Kyōsuke cautiously asked, "I know who you are, but... what about now?"
He wanted to ask—are you dead or not? I hope I don't accidentally trigger your true form and cause it to explode.
"I'm already dead," the phantom figure suddenly turned its head and looked toward the cave behind. "But if needed, I can come back to life at any time."
What does that mean?!
Kyōsuke was confused, struggling to make sense of Hamura's words.
After thinking it over, he started to grasp the figure's meaning.
In other words, if you sense any signs of Kaguya's seal being undone, you could come back to life and deal with her?
That's pretty ruthless!
