"They lusted after Kaguya's beauty and tried to capture her to offer to their emperor—but your mother Kaguya wiped them out in the cruelest way imaginable. Blood flying everywhere, bodies torn apart beyond recognition."
"After killing this entire group in a brutal way, Kaguya and Aya Aiye were discovered by the enemy's main forces. To protect Kaguya, her handmaiden fled with her. Pregnant at the time and unable to exert her full strength, Kaguya had no choice but to flee toward the God Tree."
"Then came the turning point. Your father returned to his kingdom and learned everything that had happened—including Kaguya's immense power—but instead of preparing to protect her, he feared it. Fearing an invasion from the enemy kingdom, he made an unforgivable decision—he led an army to launch a surprise attack on your mother Kaguya."
Chapter 118: It's All Your Father's Fault [Part 2]
"How can anyone be this despicable?" Kushina Uzumaki, known for her fierce temper, was furious. She was so angry she wanted to beat up the Six Paths Sage's despicable father right then and there.
"Exactly! This guy is just too evil. How could he even think about killing his own wife?" Naruto and Sasuke joined in the condemnation. Though others said nothing, their expressions clearly showed deep contempt.
The Six Paths Sage stayed silent, his expression growing darker by the second. He had never heard of this part of history before—and it seemed his long-dead father really was every bit as disgraceful as they described.
"At the time, Kaguya and her handmaiden Aya Aiye barely managed to reach near the God Tree when your pathetic father arrived with his troops. The moment they met, he immediately ordered fire arrows to be shot without mercy, giving Kaguya no chance to explain herself."
Ignoring everyone's reactions, Sakura continued the story.
"Pregnant with twins, Kaguya couldn't unleash her full power. When she saw the enemy open fire without hesitation, her loyal handmaiden Aya Aiye desperately told Kaguya to head straight for the God Tree while she ran forward waving both arms, trying to reason with your scumbag father and buy Kaguya some time. But your father gave the cold-blooded order to execute her on the spot—Aya Aiye was pierced through the heart by a thousand arrows."
"Betrayed by the one she loved and watching her most trusted handmaiden brutally murdered—these back-to-back tragedies drove Kaguya into complete despair. That's when everything changed. Overcome with hopelessness, Kaguya ate the fruit of the God Tree, awakened the Rinnegan with nine tomoe, and unleashed Infinite Tsukuyomi in an instant, trapping all the pursuing soldiers."
"That's what I'm talking about! They totally deserved it!"
Kushina Uzumaki, Mikoto Uchiha, and Izumi Uchiha clapped their hands in approval, while the men nodded in agreement. Even the four Tailed Beasts believed Kaguya hadn't gone too far—they fully supported her actions.
"Why did Mother later expand the range of Infinite Tsukuyomi?" The Six Paths Sage's face flickered between emotions, his heart deeply pained.
Didn't I already tell you? Kaguya was originally guarding the God Tree. But since she ate its fruit, do you really think the Otsutsuki Clan would let her off the hook?
Plus with you two around, she's developed weaknesses now. To fight against the Otsutsuki Clan, Kaguya decided to mass-produce White Zetsu soldiers, preparing for all-out war once the Otsutsuki arrived!
Sakura naturally understood what Kaguya feared most. In the original story, decades later, hunters from the Otsutsuki Clan would come here only to be completely crushed by Naruto and Sasuke, conveniently giving The Second Boruto an extra scene.
"How strong are the members of the Otsutsuki Clan really?" the Sage of Six Paths asked, clearly aware of just how powerful his mother Kaguya was. If even she felt terrified of these enemies, just how strong must they be?
"How do I put this? Their strength isn't actually greater than your mom's. Combined, they might be about your equal. But although your mom is extremely powerful, she just doesn't get how to fight! If she could even use half her power properly, that'd already be giving her too much credit!"
Thinking about Kaguya's combat abilities gave Sakura a headache. Her power was terrifying indeed, yet she never used it properly. During battles with Naruto and Sasuke, she just charged in headfirst without a plan. She never coordinated her various abilities at all—it was such a waste of immense power.
As for Momo Otsutsuki's strength, even after absorbing Kinshiki Otsutsuki, he still got utterly dominated by teamwork between Naruto and Sasuke. If it weren't for forcing Boruto, The Second, into the spotlight by having Naruto and Sasuke suddenly fall apart during critical moments, someone like Momo wouldn't stand a chance against them.
One side was utterly defeated by Naruto and Sasuke, while the other, despite tremendous strength, couldn't use it properly. And yet, she could still match them evenly—nearly defeating them if not for Obito's sacrifice. The difference in strength was obvious.
"Of course, the most crucial point is that your mother Kaguya lacks self-confidence, always believing herself weak!"
Kaguya had originally been sent by them. Even though she possessed incredible strength, she always carried psychological trauma toward people like Momo Otsutsuki. It was like the story of the trained elephant: when young, elephants were chained with iron they couldn't break. Even as adults, despite having the strength to easily snap those chains, they still believed themselves incapable. This was a typical example of deep-rooted psychological trauma.
"Just what exactly is the Otsutsuki Clan?"
Minato Namikaze asked the question everyone wanted to know. "Why have we never heard anything about them all these years?"
"They don't belong to this world!"
The Sage of Six Paths only had a vague understanding, but the specific details still eluded him.
"The Otsutsuki Clan are actually extraterrestrials. They travel through space, sustaining their lives and power by seizing energy from other worlds. As to which planet specifically birthed them, even I don't know. After all, the universe is vast, and there's no way I could possibly know every detail!"
To put it bluntly, the Otsutsuki Clan was a parasitic race, surviving by draining the power of other worlds. The world of the Ninja Hidden in the Leaves definitely wasn't the first, nor would it be the last, to suffer their devastation.
"You two don't need me to spell out what happened after the Infinite Tsukuyomi, right? You two paragons of filial piety didn't even bother checking the facts before sealing Kaguya away. But the moment she was sealed, Kaguya created a younger brother for you both—who just so happens to be cursed with terrible luck. And that son's war, including all the battles between the Senju and Uchiha afterward, as well as every bit of chaos across the shinobi world? All of it was stirred up by him!"
