Chapter 172 - 172. Finding A Way



[Read the completed story in advance at -patreon.com/misterimmortal.]

A Galaxy Far Far Away, Unknown Planet,

The Race called Otsutsuki was much more vicious and mad than anyone could imagine. Their sole purpose was to get stronger and for that, they were ready to go to any length.

Their species travelled the entire Universe in search of plants to plant Chakra Trees on and harvest the fruits. For a species driven by greed for power, their leaders must be the worst being in existence, something which he was.

But, he was in a maddening state right now, for he was unable to locate his son. He called two of the Universe Explorers under his command and gave them a duty.

A white-faced being sat on a high chair made of unknown white sparkling stones. It was a large hall, but empty. He looked calm and graceful but radiated an immense power that was felt all around. "Momoshiki, go and find my son. Minoshiki has been missing for more than two centuries. The last known location was the alpha sector. He was working on something called Project Endgame. Find him and bring him back, my 10th in command will go with you. Let him fight if you must fight, you are more of an explorer than a fighter.

"Remember, other Patriarchs should never find out about this. And for the completion of this mission, I shall award you with two Chakra Fruits. Leave."

The two Otsutsuki, Momoshiki and Akashiki bowed their heads and kneeled, "We shall not disappoint you, Great Patriarch"

They soon left the Crown planet to find the missing son of the Patriarch. Momoshiki brought his partner along, while Commander Akashiki was more of a silent type, never speaking and only following. But his presence kept the pressure on the heads of Momoshiki and Kinshiki.

"Lord Commander, it seems this laboratory Planet was attacked from inside. The space particles point to backward sectors. Not much life exists in those areas." Momoshiki showed the data to Akashiki.

The stiff Otsutsuki nodded and looked left and right at the condition of the lab. He had no idea what kind of experiment was going on here, but it must be something important for it to be granted an entire Planetary laboratory.

"We shall move wherever the clues point us to. If it says backward sector, we must go there." He ordered, his meaning clear.

Momoshiki nodded and prepared to open a portal. He was also frowning, opening Portals was one of the toughest techniques and required for the most power. By creating a portal to so far away, he will be weakening himself.

But, with a face of reassurance, he looked at his partner, Kinshiki. ~I have food with me, so nothing to worry about.~

...

It was a sunny day in Dama City. All people went to do their work, while those who needed to train went to training. Saiken had already done his morning milk deliveries to the port, he now boasted of employing a total of 20,000 people on his farm, mainly to take care of his precious cows, goats and camels.

Isobu had also given his daily fresh fish deliveries to the port. They will soon be transported around the world in large ships. He now employs a lot of people to help him transport his produce.

Shukaku had done his daily chores of construction, Son Goku had brought his daily harvest of fruits to the fruit markets to sell. All the tailed beasts had become a progressive and inclusive part of the society, where they worked to make the lives of people better.

But at the moment, they all were busy with Shiroken.

They took out the Husk of the ten tails and thought about how to get Kaguya out of it. All the tailed beasts surrounded it and brainstormed.

"Why don't we ask that black thing? You did catch him, right?" Gyuki asked.

"No no, it was a white one. The black thing ran away and never appeared again." Kurama pointed out.

Shiroken thought about it, "We should still talk to it for once."

He took out the glass cage in which he had caught the white Zetsu. "REEEEEE..."

He put it back, "I changed my mind. It's useless to talk to it. Any other ideas?"

"Hmm... maybe we should cup open it?" Saiken suggested while taking out his giant knife.

"Calm down, Saiken. We might end up killing her then." Gyuki stopped him.

But Shiroken didn't think so, "If killing her was as easy as just destroying the husk then someone would have done it long ago. But, we can not take chances either. Cutting it in half might indeed kill her, it is possible that her sons didn't do it as she was their mother. But then that would be very stupid of them."

"Why don't you try that mental jutsu on it?" Monari asked.

"NO! Don't." Kurama objected, "We don't know how strong she really is, what if she can somehow take over Shiro's body?"

Well, they were in a pickle now. They had no idea how to go about doing it. After a few minutes of thinking hard, Shiroken had an idea, "Why don't I talk to Hagoromo? He's probably peeping at us right now. WAIT! I must warn him not to look at us in our intimate moments. Or else... I will send him to the afterlife for sure."

A frown appeared on his face, wondering what all he even saw. Did he also peep at his and Tsunade's intimate moments? Surely a very important question to ask.

Shiroken closed his eyes and sat in the middle of all the Bijuu. He meditated and tried to talk to Hagoromo. ~Hey, peeper, are you there? I want to talk to you.~

*Woosh*

The scenes immediately changed and Shiroken found himself sitting in the space where Hagoromo lived. He had a frown on his face, "What happened to you? You were so calm and peaceful before."

Shiroken chuckled, "Well, life happened. Oh, and I found love, so I now appreciate life more, try to have more fun and enjoy life. It was getting pretty boring, to be honest. The pressure and tension of the coming war were taking a toll on me. The best way to ignore that was being goofy, just like how I was when I was small."

Hagoromo sighed and nodded, "My children seem to appreciate you more this way so I believe it's fine. And no, I don't look at you in your intimate moments. I stop watching people the moment they enter their homes or are with their lovers."

Shiroken laughed as he moved towards the old man, still hovering in the air while sitting with crossed legs. *Pat Pat* He patted behind his back, "Good man, I knew you are not a degenerate horny man."

(•ˋ _ ˊ•)

Hagormo silently stared at his face with a blank expression. One minute passed by and the smile didn't go away from Shiroken's face. "Hahahaha..." He started laughing like an old man and ruffled Shiroken's hair, "I can't say I don't appreciate this side of you. You are the ruler of the world, if you are happy, the world will be happy."

"Technically, if the Bijuu are your parents, and they are my children, that makes me your grandpa," Hagoromo shamelessly added.

This reminded Shiroken, "Oh, did you see that strange thing that happened when I put Nagato in the shrine? Was that you controlling the bird to make the poop words?"

Hagoromo's face paled, "No, it was not me, and that event left me shocked as well. But do not worry, I was later made aware of who did it. It's best if you don't know him. He's a being beyond our minds can comprehend, a true god in every sense, whose powers overreached beyond the boundaries of the Universe, Multiverse and Omniverse that you can imagine. Maybe, if you do end up defeating all Otsutsuki, you will end up becoming a god as well. He might meet you then."

Shiroken's mind was left in a million questions. There were such terrifying beings out there, he had no idea. But it didn't go against common sense. If there can be Otsutsuki, there are bound to be beings above them too.

He sighed and quoted, "Old man, the more I try to make sense of this world, the more the world pushes to turn me into a senseless person."

"All great men have been hit by this thought in their lives, son. Most became mad in searching for answers, rest, like me and you, we just accept the present and live honestly until our time comes." Hagoromo quoted back with words of wisdom.
