A dignified Kekkei Mōra-level existence had somehow become Seiryū's prisoner just like that.
It was not as though Kaguya had never thought about resisting.
But the result was that she triggered the restriction placed on her body.
Four consecutive uses of Kaidō struck her at once, leaving her completely drained of strength.
The flush on her face, her unfocused eyes, and the way her legs had instinctively tightened were enough to prove just how terrifying Kaidō could be.
She truly could not withstand it.
"Being dishonest won't do, Kaguya."
As the one who had placed the restriction, Seiryū could naturally sense every move Kaguya made.
Inside the room where she was staying, Seiryū looked at the visibly shaken goddess and revealed a sinister smile.
"This is the first time."
"If there is a second time, it won't be this simple."
Kaguya bit her lip.
Her pale eyes shimmered faintly as she knelt weakly on the ground, her breathing slightly uneven.
She was still breathtakingly beautiful.
"If I can cast it four times in an instant, then I can cast it ten times, dozens of times, or even hundreds of times."
Seiryū sneered, looking every bit like a villain.
"I don't think you want to experience that, do you?"
'Clatter.'
As he spoke, Seiryū activated Fullbring: Heaven's Chain.
More than a hundred Golden Chains writhed through the air like living tentacles.
Seiryū formed a one-handed seal.
A pale green glow appeared at the tip of every chain.
It was Kaidō!
Seiryū was not bluffing.
He really could cast Kaidō more than a hundred times at once.
He was essentially a mobile Ninjutsu battery, and every Golden Chain could function like an additional arm.
Casting Kaidō a hundred times simultaneously was entirely possible.
Kaguya was still a Kekkei Mōra-level existence and the Progenitor of Chakra in this world.
Even in her severely weakened state, she still possessed formidable power.
She had to be completely restrained.
More importantly, she needed to understand that resisting recklessly would only make things worse.
"I... I understand."
Kaguya looked at the hundreds of Golden Chains glowing with pale green light.
The color immediately drained from her face.
"I won't... think about resisting again."
Four uses of that technique had already left her completely powerless.
If hundreds struck her at the same time.
Would she even survive?
The thought alone filled her with fear.
Yet mixed into that fear was another strange feeling she could not quite understand.
No one had ever treated her this way before.
And she had never experienced such an unfamiliar sensation either.
If it were not stacked repeatedly.
If it were only used once.
That feeling was actually difficult to forget.
When the lingering effects of Kaidō finally faded, a faint trace of disappointment even crossed her face.
'No. Why am I thinking like this?'
Kaguya was startled by her own thoughts.
She bit her lip and widened her eyes.
She suddenly realized something.
That strange sensation had somehow left a stronger impression on her than even the desire for a Chakra Fruit.
How could that possibly happen?
"Hmm?"
Seiryū keenly noticed the brief look of disappointment that flashed across Kaguya's face once the effects of Kaidō disappeared.
He immediately realized something.
A wicked grin appeared on his face.
"Hehehe."
"Do you actually like the feeling of Kaidō?"
Kaguya froze.
"If you behave yourself, I might even reward you with it occasionally."
Seiryū smiled.
"Provided that you behave."
"Hehehe."
Kaguya had been sealed away for more than a thousand years.
Almost immediately after being resurrected, she had experienced the effects of Kaidō.
Even someone with a strong will like Tsunade had struggled against its side effects.
And Kaguya's emotional resilience in ordinary matters was not particularly impressive.
She had also spent most of her life suppressing personal desires.
For her, the sensation was completely unfamiliar.
Naturally, it left a powerful impression.
"You... I."
Kaguya tightly bit her lip.
"Don't humiliate me!"
Having her thoughts exposed made her feel deeply embarrassed.
How could she possibly like that feeling?
Impossible!
She was the Rabbit Goddess.
Someone who had spent most of her life detached from ordinary desires.
How could something so trivial disturb her emotions?
"Hehehe. Fine, we'll leave it at that."
Seiryū smiled meaningfully.
His voice carried an almost deliberate temptation.
"But as long as you behave, I won't be stingy with rewards."
He would deal with her little by little.
Eventually, he intended to make her completely accept her current situation.
He was determined to become the father of the Sage of Six Paths!
Nothing was going to stop him!
"Come on."
Seiryū gestured toward her.
"There are a few things I need your help with, Kaguya."
"What... do you want me to do?"
"There is an Ōtsutsuki Clan treasure that requires high-quality Chakra from a pure member of your clan to activate."
Urashiki was already certain to die.
That meant Sasuke and Boruto would eventually need to return to their own timeline.
Because they needed to cross between different timelines, Karasuki required high-quality Chakra from a pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki to activate.
Kaguya was perfectly suited for the task.
Hearing Seiryū mention the treasure, Kaguya seemed to remember something.
Her expression became serious.
"An Ōtsutsuki Clan treasure?"
"Could it be Karasuki?"
Seiryū's eyes flashed.
"So you know about it too."
"Did you bring it here?"
"Karasuki is a treasure used for space-time travel."
Kaguya did not dare conceal anything from Seiryū and answered honestly.
"It can also be used to transmit information and locate members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan throughout the universe."
"After I ambushed Isshiki, I was afraid the clan would discover what had happened."
"So I threw Karasuki into the depths of the ocean."
"I wanted to delay how long it would take the clan to locate this planet."
"I see."
Seiryū nodded.
The reason members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan eventually arrived on this planet in Boruto: Naruto Next Generations was because they were searching for Kaguya and Isshiki.
The universe was unimaginably vast.
Without some kind of locator, finding one specific planet would be extremely difficult.
The clan leaving communication and tracking devices with its members was obviously intended to prevent betrayal.
Yet Kaguya had still chosen to betray them anyway.
Seiryū reached out toward Kaguya, who was still kneeling on the floor.
"Come with me first."
"I still have a few things I want to ask you."
Kaguya looked at the hand extended toward her.
After a moment of hesitation, she took it.
Seiryū pulled her to her feet.
Kaguya pursed her lips.
"I'll tell you everything I know."
"Just don't use that technique on me again."
"You need to be honest with yourself and open your heart."
Seiryū smiled.
"If you like something, then you like it. There's no need to hide your true feelings."
"I won't look down on you."
"Everyone has their own little preferences."
"I don't!"
Kaguya immediately protested.
"I don't like it!"
"Don't say such ridiculous things!"
"Fine, fine."
Seiryū nodded casually.
"I believe you."
"You."
Kaguya's expression tightened.
"I really don't!"
"Yeah, I know."
Kaguya fell silent.
She bit her lip.
Could this man not understand simple words?
She really did not like it!
Even if she did.
It was only a tiny bit!
