124 Chapter 124: Returning Home

After cooking a variety of goat dishes for Beerus, Whis and I, the situation with Moro has ended. The dishes that I made gave me a huge power boost since Moro has had millions of years of devouring planets within himself, similar to what Neo had from Toriko's universe. Speaking of which, I have to make a stop to see if he or Komatsu made any new discoveries so I get a few ingredients. I will also have to check on my family, plus visiting new universes to gain different sources of power will be useful. Beerus, Whis and I were the only ones to partake on the Moro feast, haha. Goku wanted to take a bite but was stopped by Chichi and Bulma stopped Vegeta so more for us I guess.

Goku: Sage, when Moro begged for his life, why did you just kill him?

Sage: Why would listening to him matter? Would it have changed the execution order? Would it have absolved him of his crimes?

Goku: No, but…

Vegeta: Kakarrot, Sage was right in ending him. Moro had millions of years to clear up his crimes, only when he was close to death he actually pleded for his life, why would anyone wait and listen to his death throes?

Goku: I know but it felt like to me that he needed to be heard. But that was only a gut feeling.

Sage: Sometimes misplaced kindness will come back to bite you in the ass Goku-san.

Since this matter has been resolved I am now in uncharted territory in the Dragon Ball Universe. There will always be other enemies but for now I will look into the other Universes I have been to and look into some new ones. I have always been a fan of Japanese katanas, so I was thinking of going to the Bleach universe as my next destination.

Once everyone else finished eating I kept going. I used some reserves when fighting Moro and eating him helped me regain strength but food I stored with Shokubotsu (Food Immersion) was nearly depleted so I cooked some of my own recipes with the food Bulma provided to fill my spare tank back up. Goku and Vegeta were inquiring about how I was able to eat energy like Moro did. I didn't have a problem sharing some of Acacia's Full Course with them but with their lack of control on how they eat they would probably turn into new Moro's or maybe like me.

I explained to them that by eating they will gain great power reserves and enhancements but at the cost of consistently looking for food. They will see everything as food not just simple animals. There is a proper way of cooking everything to make it delicious and that may include some taboos. Once they heard my explanation they seemed to have leaned away from the "eating energy" idea.

Before I left to check up on my family and other universes, Merus and I helped Goku reach the state of Mushin no Shin or Mushin (Clear mind free of anger, fear or ego) reaching perfect Migatte no Gokui while also helping Vegeta reach Sign of Migatte No Gokui. Since Vegeta was learning Mushin with Goku, it wouldn't take him long to reach the perfect state or it might take him a while considering his ego and pride.

I went back to the Naruto universe only to find that there was a problem with some of the other countries. I welcomed a fight but after Moro, I might as well have my children take care of it. When I got home I was welcomed with hugs, kisses, slaps and punches. It was well deserved considering how long I left. After Tsunade and Mei calmed down I beguiled them with my journey. They explained everything that has been going on with the village and the other countries. Apparently the guys I told them to watch out for were, for a lack of a better word, ignored or slightly monitored. I guess I came back at a good time.

Before I headed to the Hokages office to talk to Minato, I wanted to spend some time with my family. Rosemary and Ryu have grown so quite a bit. They are now 6 years old. I will teach them to handle the power of their tails before I move on to a different universe. I told Tsunade and Mei to be careful of the full moon and not let the children see it before I can help them train to not be bothered by it. I cooked a feast for my family with the new skills and recipes I acquired. Since there was nothing left of Moro, I didn't give them a piece. The time in different universes kept me confused when I returned home because the flow was different. I spent 5 years away from my family but it was most likely longer than that in the other universes.

The next day

Sage: Minato-nii, how have you and the family been?

Minato: Sage-kun, it seems that you are back. The family is great, Kushina and Tsubame are doing fine. Naruto is having a little trouble with his son, but all in all, they are fine.

Sage: That's good to hear. What about the situation with the village? From what I was told there's a new group giving you headaches.

Minato: Yeah, about that. They are the ones who you warned us about before your trip, they are called Kara. The moment they appeared we looked into it in a joint effort with the other villages but the results came back the same. Teams were eliminated, tracks were lost and minds were erased.

Sage: Sounds like a bit of fun.

Minato: You warned us about them but you didn't explain what their purpose was.

Sage: Oh, that. They lost their purpose the day I eliminated the Otsutsuki.

Minato: Then, why do they continue?

Sage: They are what's left of the Otsutsuki. That is how powerful they were. The "Kara" organization are looking for people who hold a "Kama".

Minato: If they have no purpose then why fight?

Sage: The thing about the Kama is, it is a way to revive the Otsutsuki that left the Kama.

Minato: What?! If you killed all the Otsutsuki then shouldn't you have the Kama?

Sage: Yeah, the "Kama is a seal that serves as a compressed backup of an Otsutsuki clan member's biological data that they can embed in the body of a chosen recipient, transforming them into a vessal for the Otsutsuki's will should they perish or become fataly injured. Over time the Kama overwrites the Vessel's genetic profile until their body transforms into that of a perfect recreation of the Otsutsuki template, at which point the Kama disappeares and the Otsutsuki can take over their body and resurrect." – NarutoPedia

Minato: Then, what of you?

Sage: That is not really a hard question to answer. I am too strong for any Otsutsuki to even try to overwrite my genetic makeup. I can literally control my cells the way I want to. I can purge any foreign entity I deem hostile or malicious.

Minato: Then why…

Sage: Because I don't think that Kaguya was the only one from the Otsutsuki who came to this world before.

Minato thought it through and found my answer plausible. I told Minato that the Kama also gives the host a great deal of power, that's what makes the Kara organization so dangerous. They all have powers of the Otsutsuki.
