The First Sign of Otsutsuki's Arrival
🕑 Added 2024-08-18 19:16:38 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 476 ---
Kakashi stood up, feeling a new change in and out of his body.
He lifted his left hand and saw a faint purple fur coated with electricity covering his skin. At the same time, his limbs also strengthened several times, granting him super strength.
Of course, Kakashi wasn't an alien with super strength, but it felt different from when he enhanced his physical strength with Chakra. He didn't feel empty and instead filled with endless power.
'Even with all this power, I can feel a wild ambition in my heart. Is this what Beast Possession felt like?' Kakashi closed his eyes, feeling the primal urge to howl at the sky.
Well, Kakashi obviously resisted the urge and sighed heavily.
After awakening his Martial Soul, Kakashi didn't expect himself to become an animal.
'I don't know if this was bad or good.'
"Beast Instinct is not necessarily a bad thing." said a silver-haired Gu Yuene, who appeared before Kakashi from thin air.
"Pardon, you're..." Kakashi was shocked. He had never seen such a beauty before.
Gu Yuena crossed her arms and answered, "I'm Yunlong's wife, Gu Yuena."
Kakashi's eyes widened before nodding in understanding. As expected, only a man like Yunlong could pull a beauty like this.
It seems he must learn from the Sword God, after all.
Kakashi calmed himself down and asked politely, "What do you mean Beast Instinct is not necessarily bad, Miss?"
"Miss? Not bad. You may call me that from now on." Gu Yuena nodded in satisfaction. "As you felt, the Beast Instinct is overwhelming, but it was also a sign of a good connection between you and your Martial Soul."
"Your five senses will be sharper, spatial awareness increased, and at some point, you can even develop a sixth to seventh outer sense."
"But this also comes with a strict condition."
"Because you're a human, you mustn't lose yourself in the Beastly Instinct."
"You must tame it the best you could."
"So, it's like Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast..." Kakashi mumbled to himself.
Gu Yuena thought about it, "Well, not really. Martial Soul is part of yourself, so why would you fight it?"
"You're a foolish one, aren't you?"
"Uh..." Kakashi was speechless.
Gu Yuena snappily retorted, "Enough of this useless conversation, and show me your second Martial Soul."
"Second Martial Soul?" Kakashi was confused. He focused and felt an additional sensation inside.
The beastly possession was 'slowly' canceled, and the area around Kakashi's eyes suddenly darkened like that of a panda and formed a mask-like pattern.
"Beastly Moment Eyes, that's the name of my Martial Soul," Kakashi said while looking around. The world around him turned into a bunch of golden lines.
It was bizarre. However, when Kakashi tried to see Gu Yuena, all he could comprehend was a massive existence like a towering mountain, and groan in pain.
"Spatial ability? It seems you're able to see through space-time fabrics and their essence. But you're foolishly brave to see a higher existence with those mortal eyes." Gu Yuena flicked Kakashi's forehead, making him groan once more.
"Ack!" Kakashi dropped to the ground.
Gu Yuena looked down and said, "I could have killed you accidentally, so don't do that again. You're too weak to see that yet."
"I understand..." Kakashi wryly replied. He felt a skull-breaking headache just from staring at Gu Yuena for a split second.
He'd really die if he stared a little longer.
He also couldn't help but feel fearful of Gu Yuena. This goddess-like beauty is truly a terrifying hidden dragon.
"Well, I didn't come here to scold you. Here, Artificial Soul, you will form a connection with it." Gu Yuena shoved Artificial Soul into Kakashi's chest and cast the ritual chant casually.
Kakashi got caught off guard but soon discovered himself facing a mighty three-headed beast. The beast is lightning-like Kakashi's Martial Soul, the only difference being the amount of head.
The middle head also has a pair of mystic eyes compatible with Kakashi's Beastly Moment Eyes.
Not far away, Dong Chan's lips twitched slightly. 'As expected of the Silver Dragon Goddess, her mastery over soul-related things is better than mine.'
'If only she weren't so lazy.' She moved her gaze to Rasa, seeing her clone advising him also.
"Your Martial Soul is gathering a million golden sand dust." Dong Chan commented calmly. "Since you've controlled golden sand before with Magnet Style, you should be aware of how mentally taxing it was."
"Your body can't move freely. It's because you're too focused on controlling those golden dusts."
"I assume you could only do a minimal move to dodge."
"Or maybe not moving because you can simply use your sand to defend yourself."
Rasa's eyes widened as he sighed, "You're correct, Chan-sama."
"This is the fighting style I developed from my predecessor. Even my son used the same style."
"We used this fighting style to fight and contain a giant beast, Shukaku."
"It's good that your predecessor developed such a fighting style." Dong Chan nodded in understanding. "However, you are severely mistaken if you think it was the best."
"The best method is always adapting."
"If you're fighting underwater, your golden sand will hinder you."
"To make it even worse, your Martial Soul, the Golden Sand of Time, is many times heavier and harder to control than the former you had."
Rasa has a bitter look because he also realizes his weakness. Awakening this Martial Soul made him feel complicated.
Yes, he was happy, but it also came with a price.
Dong Chan rubbed her chin and said, "From now on, I prohibited you from using Magnet Style."
"Chan-sama, that is a bit..." Rasa was speechless.
"Are you questioning my advice?" Dong Chan raised her eyebrow.
"N-No..." Rasa was afraid. Like, literally.
"Good. You will start cultivating Red Cloud Heaven Art like everyone else, but you must put more effort into cultivating mental power and Spatial awareness."
"Start from one golden dust, ten, hundred, and one thousand."
"Remember this well." Seeing Rasa's solemn face, Dong Chan couldn't help but sigh. "Forget it. I will show you directly."
Rasa suddenly found himself in the vast white field. A black-haired man lifted his hand and a terrifying golden tsunami over several hundred thousand kilometers moved.
It made Rasa feel small because just this one attack could swallow his village immediately.
Several images later, Rasa saw the black-haired man sitting on a golden throne while commanding several humanoid-shaped creatures to fight for him.
After that, Rasa returned to reality.
"How was it?" Dong Chan's voice awakened the confused Rasa.
Rasa nodded, "Yes. It was eye-opening."
"Puppetry, but on a grand scale."
"That's just the first step. Your Golden Sand of Time is unique, Rasa, so don't let me down." Dong Chan didn't lie because Rasa's Martial Soul is just as rare as Fugaku.
In fact, Rasa's path will be smoother than Fugaku's.
Suddenly, Dong Chan tilted her head and glanced at the sky.
Gu Yuena also looked at the sky.
'Someone is touching Yunlong's barrier.' They thought silently.
...
...
Outside Shinobi World, the moon is silently orbiting.
Bibi Dong sat on the sofa while drinking this world's wine and enjoyed the rich yet clear aftertaste. She looked at the small sake cup in her hand and observed the invisible barrier surrounding the blue planet.
She could feel someone trying to break through the barrier, "Is it the Otsutsuki?"
"Otsutsuki? Are they finally here?" Sara and Toneri looked up to Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong sipped her wine and answered, "No, it's just one person."
"A brave one."
"Wait here. I will greet our little friend." After saying that, Bibi Dong vanished.
On the dark side of the planet, a white-haired woman in an oversized kimono floats. She has a fair face, Byakugan, and a pair of curved horns on her head.
At first glance, one might mistake her for Kaguya before transmigrating to Douluo Dalu. They are definitely related.
"Well, what do we have here?" Bibi Dong appeared beside the white-haired woman, causing her to swipe her hand and cause a large explosion.
Bibi Dong casually dodged without spilling her sake, "Quite a cautious one."
"Who might you be?"
"You're definitely Otsutsuki."
The white-haired woman frowned, "Don't say my clan's name so casually, you imbecile!"
"Heh, what a fiery Otsutsuki, too." Bibi Dong didn't care.
"You're nothing like Kaguya."
"You know Kaguya?" The white-haired woman was shocked. "Where is she?"
"Bring me to her right now!"
"Why should I?" Bibi Dong sipped her rice wine, not giving the white-haired woman any face.
