Naruto: The Byakugan is weak? I’m super strong! Chapter 187

Kōgetsu defeated the strongest enemy in the ninja world, Ōtsutsuki Toneri, in one fell swoop.

When Sasuke and Naruto woke up, the first thing they did was to invite Kōgetsu to become the new head of the Ninja Sect.

As someone who loved freedom, Kōgetsu naturally refused. Wasn’t living by the sea good enough?

It was so leisurely and carefree, he didn’t know how much more comfortable it could be.

Konohamaru came to ask for advice a few more times on the cultivation methods of the human path before finally gaining some insights.

Hanabi regained her eyes and acknowledged Hinata Hinata as her older sister.

The ninja world returned to peace once again.

At least, those who had no sense of crisis thought so.

However.

Several months after Toneri was defeated.

News of tailed beasts disappearing began to emerge one after another in various places.

From Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast, to Chōmei, the Seven-Tailed Beast, and finally to Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Beast.

None were spared. It was said that they all encountered a young ninja holding a scythe. When the opponent unleashed a powerful force, the tailed beasts’ chakra would be taken in an instant.

Soon, the higher-ups of the ninja world realized that they had likely encountered a formidable enemy again.

“Why are there enemies everywhere now? Ever since that Hyūga Kōgetsu appeared, first it was Ōtsutsuki Toneri, and now it’s some Hidan. I have every reason to suspect that it’s all his fault.”

It’s all Hyūga Kōgetsu’s fault?

Konohamaru immediately stood up, fuming, when he heard this.

“If you suspect Teacher Kōgetsu, then you are suspecting me! Everything I have today is thanks to Teacher Kōgetsu’s guidance!”

Konohamaru, as the undisputed number one in the ninja world, possessed strength surpassing Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha. His prestige also rose after Ōtsutsuki Toneri, and everyone regarded him as the future successor of the ninja world.

Hanabi also rose to her feet immediately. She likewise supported Kōgetsu and Konohamaru.

“My brother-in-law and Konohamaru can do no wrong. Instead of suspecting your own people, why not consider if this entire universe is full of enemies! We’ve been too cautious before, not taking problems seriously at all. Perhaps there isn’t only our civilization in this universe, and if we continue to be content with the status quo, there will be more enemies in the future!”

Konohamaru clearly possessed a higher level of thinking; he saw the vast universe.

“Konohamaru, I agree with what you said earlier.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat down, saying somewhat seriously, “But if there truly are powerful beings like Ōtsutsuki Toneri in the universe, and they possess such power, why would they need our weak ninja world? This is simply worrying about nothing.”

Worrying about nothing?

Hearing his grandfather say this, Konohamaru immediately sneered.

“The power of one person is not enough, but what about a planet, a ninja world?”

Konohamaru slammed the table.

“Grandpa, you have lived in a peaceful ninja world for too long. Ōtsutsuki Toneri was just the beginning. Today they seize our power, and tomorrow they will strip the ninja world bare.

A powerful civilization precisely means they need more resources. Energy is conserved. Don’t imagine everything to be too simple and casual!”

An angry Konohamaru turned and left.

“Everyone, if you still maintain such naive thoughts, then I’m very sorry, but when the Ōtsutsuki clan invades next, I will no longer intervene. Furthermore, according to my observations, the ones who acted this time are still the Ōtsutsuki clan! They possess a powerful attraction to chakra, and currently known ninjutsu are useless. Only taijutsu is the king’s path of the future!”

Konohamaru left the conference room, eliciting a chorus of sighs.

They hadn’t expected Konohamaru, relying on his powerful strength, to have become so arrogant. Did he truly believe he could understand all major affairs?

“Konohamaru is too young. He’s injecting his narrow perceptions into the entire ninja world.”

“That’s right. If the Ōtsutsuki clan is truly a high-level civilization, then the emergence of a greedy existence like Toneri is merely an accident.”

“Hiruzen and Danzō are not wrong. We still possess the concept of peace. How could a higher civilization be lazier? Toneri is just a special existence among them.”

The ninja world’s higher-ups unanimously agreed, treating Konohamaru’s ideas as childish.

“I refuse this meeting! Ignorance!”

Hyūga Hanabi rose and followed Konohamaru out of the conference room.

“Everyone, your understanding fills me with dread.”

Naruto closed his eyes. At this moment, he felt that the people of the ninja world were too naive.

Only by experiencing that battle would one understand that so-called higher civilizations, as individual life forms, were no different from humans.

To put it simply, they all ate, drank, and played.

It was just that different levels of life adopted different methods.

Humans needed food and happiness.

The Ōtsutsuki clan needed chakra fruits, and the happiness they pursued was becoming a god.

But for the latter to obtain chakra fruits, countless lives had to be sacrificed.

Low-level civilizations, similar to the ninja world, required a long time to utilize the resources of a planet, and it was difficult to use them all.

But civilizations in the universe were different; they could even harness the energy of stars.

So?

Were they any different from the peace-loving people of the ninja world?

No!

It was just that they felt the power of planets was insufficient.

If there were no stars, they would still seize the resources of planets to gather travel expenses.

Insects cannot place their safety on giants, mistakenly believing that giants will only hunt beasts and not them.

In fact.

Giants don’t care about insects but can crush them with a single foot, and in their view, they haven’t harmed any life at all.

“I’m leaving the meeting; I have something to do.”

Sasuke Uchiha heard the naive thoughts of the people and also withdrew from the meeting.

He turned and left.

Only the anger of the older generation of ninjas remained.

“Ridiculous! You understand nothing! The ninja world has stood strong for hundreds of years. We haven’t encountered the Ōtsutsuki before, and now we’ve only encountered one, and you’re already scared!”

“We’re not afraid of any Ōtsutsuki!”

“Naruto and Sasuke are too impulsive and no longer qualify to be the head of the Ninja Sect. We demand their impeachment!”

The clamor in the conference room grew more intense.

Naruto could only sigh.

…

After leaving Konoha.

Konohamaru and his group specially rushed to the seaside to seek Kōgetsu’s help.

“Teacher Kōgetsu, the ninja world has now entered a state of arrogance. Everyone places their lives and deaths on the Ōtsutsuki clan’s charity. I don’t know what to do.”

At this moment, Konohamaru seemed somewhat desperate. In the future, the Ōtsutsuki clan would inevitably seize everything on this planet, but people were too simple and naive.

“What does that have to do with me?”

Kōgetsu scattered fish bait into the water, casually fishing.

“Do you want to watch the ninja world sink into ruin?”

Konohamaru didn’t believe Kōgetsu would remain uninvolved.

“I refused the invitation of the Ninja Sect, and now it’s impossible for me to take responsibility for anything. However, your concerns are correct. That powerful Ōtsutsuki clan member has already gathered the nine tailed beasts. What he’s about to do will change this world.”

Kōgetsu knew what Isshiki wanted to do.

He wanted to use the chakra of the nine tailed beasts to revive Kaguya.

He wanted to seize Kaguya’s power!

“Soon, a great war will break out, but it will be in the ninja world, and it will be a battle of the Ōtsutsuki clan.”
