Year One of Otogakure officially began, marking this day in history.
Heavenly beings arrived.
Master Ye Liang, the founding father of Otogakure, summoned numerous friends from different dimensions. Among them were members of the Uchiha clan, members of the Hyuga clan, and even common villagers from the Snow Country.
The villagers were ideal for reclaiming wastelands and boosting the economy.
As for the Hyuga and Uchiha clans, they immediately became permanent military forces within Otogakure.
"Master Ye Liang! The ribbon-cutting ceremony is all set. We're just waiting for you to take the stage," announced Uchiha Fugaku, who had been waiting patiently at the door.
Inside the Yonage Mansion.
Bedroom.
Ye Liang ignored him.
His ears had been twisted into painful knots by Kaguya Otsutsuki. "Spill it! Where did all those women come from yesterday? And that disciple, Rin Nohara!
It feels like you're always getting into messes with them!"
They always say a woman's intuition is rarely wrong.
And that's not far from the truth.
Ye Liang wore a bitter expression.
Beside him, Hinata also gave a delicate scold. "Exactly! You already have me as your disciple, so why do you have to take on other female disciples?"
Upon hearing this, Kaguya flared up even more, her rage intensifying!
As the two ganged up on him, Ye Liang quickly covered his ears.
Outside,
Uchiha Fugaku sighed helplessly and stepped back from the mansion.
Judging by Ye Liang's current state, he probably wouldn't be emerging for another few days!
Today,
besides the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the village center, other places were also buzzing with excitement.
In this world, the Uchiha clan had already been wiped out, so there was no conflict having Fugaku here. However, the Hyuga situation was different! There were actually two Hyuga clans!
One was older, and the other much younger!
One teenage Hinata, and one only a few years old. Although they were separated by around seven or eight years, it didn't mean they couldn't recognize each other!
The elder Hiashi Hyuga stared at his younger version in disbelief.
"Never thought I looked this handsome when I was young!"
The younger Hiashi Hyuga nodded in agreement.
"And seeing my older self feels oddly reassuring."
They showered each other with compliments, treating each other with exaggerated politeness.
This kind of situation wasn't an isolated case!
The entire Hyuga clan that had come to celebrate Otogakure's founding were left in stunned silence...
Among the Uchiha Clan.
Uchiha Sasuke stared blankly at his two older brothers.
"One brother carries water alone, but two brothers end up sharing it?"
When Naruto saw little Naruto call Ye Liang "Dad," his heart nearly stopped. Especially when he saw his mother Kushina calling Ye Liang "honey," it filled him with a whirlwind of emotions!
"Could it be… am I really the son of that old Ye from next door?"
Otogakure was flourishing and thriving like never before.
At the same time, the Five Great Shinobi Villages officially sent gifts to celebrate Otogakure's founding—like the Scroll of Seals from Konoha, Six Paths ninja tools from Kumo, local specialties from Iwagakure, and Terumi Mei from Kirigakure...
Seeing her younger self find a husband, Terumi Mei couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. "Why did the younger me land such a handsome guy while I'm still single?"
Kurotsuchi saw her grandfather revived and returning to Iwagakure.
The most valuable gift came from Sunagakure!
As Ye Liang's disciple, Gaara directly relocated Sunagakure's ancestral home here!
Sunagakure was originally located near Hot Spring Valley. After Ye Liang occupied Hot Spring Valley, it conveniently provided accommodation for Sunagakure while also expanding his territory.
Inside the house.
Despite the lively atmosphere outside, Ye Liang still didn't go out.
He furrowed his brow.
Kaguya otsutsuki, sitting beside him, gently massaged his shoulders. "You really won't go out? I'm not seriously angry at you. On our Otsutsuki planet, polygamy isn't unheard of, just less common."
Ye Liang's pupils flickered slightly. "Actually, you've never mentioned your hometown before. Tell me, what exactly is your planet like?"
The Otsutsuki Clan had always been a sensitive topic in his heart.
Kaguya otsutsuki nodded.
In fact, at this point, Kaguya otsutsuki had at last fully accepted Ye Liang, and she clearly understood Ye Liang's concerns. She had Ye Liang sit on her lap and silently began telling her story.
"Our Otsutsuki are considered Third-Civilization, but not exactly."
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, we're barely considered Third-Civilization. Originally, near our planet, there were many other weaker planets. We supported each other, striving together toward achieving Third-Civilization.
But one day!
Our planet was invaded by a true Third-Civilization! Clan members died or were injured, and eventually our homeworld was damaged.
The clan leader at the time had no choice; to repair our homeworld, he sacrificed all the surrounding lower-level civilizations! After eliminating all the subordinate planets, we regressed to Second-Civilization.
But even that wasn't enough!
Even after returning to Second-Civilization, we merely survived in the gaps between Third-Civilization.
By my parents' generation, clan members began plundering energy from other star systems to defend our planet, just as the Third-Civilization had plundered from us.
This situation continued for over ten thousand years, and the Otsutsuki Clan gradually became part of the Third-Civilization. But later, my parents died, and my sister took control of the Otsutsuki Clan!
To give me an impressive resume, my sister sent me alone to Ao'lan.
Ao'lan is an excellent planet, not only lacking powerful native inhabitants, but also possessing abundant chakra energy! Before I met you, I didn't consider Ao'lan as my home, naturally not valuing human lives either.
This is when the White Zetsu Project came into being!
Ye Liang!
Thank you."
Ye Liang's eyes showed slight emotion. This was the first time he had ever really seen into Kaguya's soul!
He gently ran his hand over Kaguya otsutsuki's head. "It's alright! Since you're willing to open up now, it proves you were never inherently bloodthirsty. No one would blame you."
"En."
Kaguya otsutsuki nodded.
"Oh right!
What's your sister's name? Will she attack Earth again?" Ye Liang asked further. Previously, he had defeated Momoshiki, and now married Kaguya otsutsuki.
You can imagine I'd think of this.
Kaguya otsutsuki inhaled deeply, her expression unusually melancholic.
"My elder sister's name is Otsutsuki Amaterasu."
Actually, several hundred years ago, she had already sent Otsutsuki Tenji here. Because Earth's spiritual energy wasn't yet mature, after defeating both me and Isshiki working together, Tenji returned to the Otsutsuki Clan.
But knowing my sister's vengeful personality, since you defeated Otsutsuki Momoshiki last time, she's definitely going to retaliate. It won't take more than a year!
You better watch out."
Ye Liang nodded twice but secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Thank goodness she's not my future mother-in-law...
"By the way, is your sister pretty?"
"Why do you care?"
"No special reason, just a little curious. I mean, since you look this good already, she should be no slouch either, right?"
"What's it to you!"
Suddenly realizing something amiss, Kaguya became alert and looked at Ye Liang. The latter shrugged his shoulders: "I was just asking..."
