What she didn't know was that Jigen was distracted today not because of her failed mission, but because he sensed that his clansmen were advancing towards this planet. However, it was unknown if they were coming to rescue him.
"It might be time to settle the score with Kaguya."
Jigen still couldn't understand why Kaguya had betrayed him. Was it because she was afraid of death? But as his subordinate, shouldn't death have been her honor? Shouldn't she have dedicated everything to him? This was supposed to be her mission, but she didn't complete it. Instead, she stabbed him in the back at a crucial moment. If it weren't for the monk who happened to be by his side, she really would have killed him.
"You must have already eaten the Divine Tree's fruit, but as long as I find a suitable body and reincarnate, you won't be my opponent."
For a clan that traveled the universe, planting Divine Trees and plundering the energy of entire planets, the amount of Divine Tree fruit they had eaten determined their strength. He had already eaten several fruits, but Kaguya had only eaten one. A thousand years ago, he was recovering from a serious injury and was about to go out when he found a human on this planet that he couldn't defeat, and he didn't even dare to have that thought. This body was too fragile. If it was damaged, he would really die. So he held back until his presence completely disappeared from this world.
But he didn't do nothing. He unexpectedly found a human who was somewhat intelligent and enjoyed research, and he gave him the technology and devices he had brought from other planets, as well as the corpses of some creatures from other worlds. After years of research, he finally created the first android. It was slightly flawed, but it was enough to use outside. Unfortunately, it was killed by that person's descendant. But that was fine. Only a strong person could become his body. The stronger he was, the closer he would be to his peak after reincarnation.
Jigen had been using these researched androids to test Torifu's strength. Every few years, he would let them stir up some chaos in the ninja world and get Torifu Kumotsuru involved. Only in this way could Jigen understand what level his strength had reached. The result was very satisfying. Now Torifu was only one step away from breaking through to that level. But this wasn't a simple thing. Without a great opportunity, Torifu would never be able to break through in his entire life. So Jigen wasn't in a hurry because his strength had already broken through that level and was even close to reaching a higher level.
However, he couldn't act rashly. This body was just a normal monk, not even a ninja. Once he used his full power to unleash the Kāma, he would only have two days to live. If anything unexpected happened during that time, his life would be completely over. Having been 'killed' by Kaguya once, he was very cautious. He wouldn't act easily unless he had no other choice. And the androids he had been researching were getting stronger each time. He didn't believe that Torifu could escape unscathed every time, just like the first defective product that pushed him to the brink of despair. The new android that was about to be born would definitely be able to do it.
However, his clansmen were coming soon. Maybe he could let them be the vanguard. In the Ōtsutsuki Clan, there was no such thing as family affection. Everyone could become the other's spare chakra fruit. If he was discovered, the result would be the same. Jigen sighed, got up, and disappeared into the darkness of the temple...

"Yahiko, Konan, are you full?"
The two children really had a feast today. They had never been so full before. And it was all meat! Before, being able to steal one piece of bread was enough for them for a day or two. When they ate the meat just now, the first bite made them both cry. It was because their previous lives were too hard.
Before their great changes, Minato and Amado both had loving parents. Their lives weren't very wealthy, but at least they had food and clothes. But Yahiko and Konan had started their vagrant lives very early. The love of a father and a mother was an ethereal word for them. During their year of wandering, all kinds of hardships had worn down their concept of a home. But now, they had overcome the hardships and everything was better.
"I'm full, Sensei! I'm so full!" Yahiko rubbed his stomach.
Konan also had a happy look on her face and still maintained her ladylike manner of speaking. "Thank you, Sensei. I'm very full."
Torifu rubbed both of their heads. "If you want to eat again in the future, just tell me. If you're too embarrassed, tell Minato." The two little ones nodded. They also knew that their previous lives were gone forever. But they didn't complain about their previous lives. There were many orphans in the Land of Rain, and they had all died in the continuous rain. He and Konan had survived. This was already the Land of Rain's kindness to them.
Naori also rubbed her stomach. This was the most full she had been in half a month. During this time, not only was Torifu busy, but Naori was also helping him. Otherwise, it would still take some time for Konoha to fully recover.
"Is everyone full? If not, I can order a few more plates of meat?"
This suggestion from Torifu was rejected. Everyone was already very full. They had probably eaten a hundred plates of meat today. Although the two children looked like they were eating happily, their stomachs were small, so they couldn't hold much. Most of it was eaten by Torifu and Naori. Amado didn't know what kind of creatures these two were. They looked so fragile, but they could eat so much. They didn't even exercise much, but they could still eat a lot.
Since everyone was already full, Torifu wouldn't order any more food. Otherwise, it would be a waste if they couldn't finish it. Anyway, if they wanted to eat again, they could just come back next time.
"Boss, we'd like the check."
The boss immediately ran in when he heard Torifu's call. When he saw the room full of plates, he almost stumbled and fell. "I say, Hokage-sama, how much did you all eat?"
Torifu smiled. "Not much, just about a hundred plates. Calculate the bill."
The boss chuckled. "It's about 200,000 ryo. I'll take care of the rest for you."
Torifu nodded and didn't argue with him. After saying thanks, he led everyone out. As they went down the stairs, the guests in the restaurant saw the Hokage-sama and all put down their chopsticks to greet him. Torifu also responded to each one. Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, he felt relieved. The meal today cost 200,000 ryo, which was indeed a high expense.
