Ch-78 You know too much about us.

At this moment, in the Kage office of Uzumaki Village, there were several officials from the village seated. In the main seat sat the current Kage of Uzumaki Village, Uzumaki Fuso.

"What did you say? Granduncle went to fight alone, and you didn't go with him? Why?" asked Fuso.

"I wanted to, but it was Grandpa's instruction that I should remain here and protect Uzumaki Village in case those enemies use any underhanded tricks," replied Kushina.

"And we don't have time to talk right now. Father, inform every country about Grandpa's instructions so that they can make appropriate preparations to protect themselves from the aftermath of the battle between Grandpa and those two Otsutsuki," urged Kushina.

"Do not worry; I have already informed them to prepare a conference call with all the Kages so that we can have a proper discussion," assured Fuso.

Just at that moment, a ninja approached Fuso and said, "Every Kage is on the line for the discussion."

Fuso nodded and left to speak with the Kages. He entered a room with many TVs, each displaying the Kages and leaders of different countries who were members of the 'Governing Committee.'

"What happened, Fuso? Is there something major that occurred?" inquired the Third Raikage.

"Yes, this morning, the individuals you were instructed to search for have been found. In fact, there are two of them, and Granduncle has confirmed that they are at least as powerful as him. He has left to confront them and has instructed the evacuation of all citizens and weak ninjas from the vicinity of the Rain Country and other countries as far as possible. Otherwise, there will be an unimaginable loss of civilian lives, so we need to act swiftly," explained Fuso.

"Why our country?" questioned Hanzo at this time.

"It can't be helped; they landed in the Rain Country and obviously treat the humans of the world as inferior creatures. So, they don't care about the life and death of us humans. The main point is that Granduncle said he is going to use a move that will affect his surroundings as large as the Fire Country," said Fuso.

"Shouldn't we go and help?" Hiruzen asked.

"No, Granduncle clearly stated that it would be useless for us to get involved in this fight," replied Fuso.

"Who is this enemy anyway?" inquired the Raikage.

Fuso then explained everything about the Otsutsuki that Kagutsuchi talked about.

"There is such a being in this universe," said Hiruzen in shock. Not only him, but the other Kages were also shocked by this revelation.

After that, the Kages wasted no time and went to evacuate the civilians as far as possible. By this time, due to scientific research progress, almost every town or village had a way to contact each other.

An hour later...

"Hanashiki-Sama, should I go and drag him here myself?" Yoshishiki asked.

"No need; he is coming here himself," replied Hanashiki.

Just as Hanashiki's voice fell silent, Kagutsuchi appeared, covered in fire.

"You made us wait for quite a long time, don't you think? Were you trying to buy time for the evacuation of all the civilians? Rest assured, after killing you, I am going to suck this planet dry and watch everyone die, maybe even let you watch it," said Hanashiki with a smile, but his smile contained ruthlessness.

"Hmm, as expected of Otsutsuki. I won't expect anything less from you both," remarked Kagutsuchi.

"From your behavior, I can say that you haven't moved a bit from here, but you still know everything happening in the world. It seems your ability is somewhat related to watching everything in the world or maybe listening, perhaps," said Kagutsuchi with a calm expression.

"From your talk with your granddaughter, I also concluded one thing: that you know many things about Otsutsuki, about Shinjutsu. After observing your whole life, I know one thing for a fact: that you were in no contact with any Otsutsuki, and by any chance, you never went into any dimension of Otsutsuki, neither did you know anything about Kaguya from anywhere. So, for you, it is impossible to know about us. This means only one thing: that you also awakened some kind of Shinjutsu, and that too at your dying age. Am I correct?" asked Hanashiki.

"Hmm, maybe you are correct about that. I did awaken something during my old age," Kagutsuchi admitted.

"Interesting, Yoshishiki, our objective has changed. Now we have to capture him alive rather than killing him. For someone to awaken Shinjutsu with such a low concentration of Otsutsuki blood is rare. We must present him to the leader," said Hanashiki.

"Yes, master," replied Yoshishiki.

"You are good at swordsmanship, right? Well, guess what? I am skilled at handling swords too," Yoshishiki said. A yellow sword made of Chakra appeared in his hand, and with his fast speed, he appeared in front of Kagutsuchi and slashed at him. Kagutsuchi easily defended the attack with his crutch. The power behind Yoshishiki's attack was not small, although it failed to move Kagutsuchi. However, it destroyed the forest behind Kagutsuchi in a 20-meter range.

Yoshishiki retreated, and Kagutsuchi's crutch caught fire, transforming into a katana with a purple handle. While unsheathing it, Kagutsuchi said, "You may be good at handling swords, but you can never best me at swordsmanship."

After saying this, Kagutsuchi made a slash at Yoshishiki, sending a red sword slash in his direction. Yoshishiki thought it was a chakra attack, so he raised his right hand to absorb it. However, he was very wrong, and he couldn't absorb the attack. It hit Yoshishiki directly, leaving a deep cut mark on his body, and blood started to spill from the wound. Yoshishiki was surprised at first, but then he smiled.
