Chapter 242: Kaguya's Character is Falling Apart

Upon hearing Obito's words, Madara suddenly snapped back to his senses and quickly turned to look beside him.

There, standing silently at his side, was a woman of ethereal beauty, as pure and pristine as ice.

At some point, she had appeared without a sound.

She wore a flowing white robe adorned with black tomoe patterns, with intricate yellow and purple embroidery along the edges.

Her long, blue-gray hair cascaded down like a waterfall, even reaching past her tall, elegant frame.

'Horns on her head, a stunning figure… Everything about her is top-tier. Who could possibly resist?'

Obito hummed a little tune, casually eyeing the woman before him—Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Her pale, porcelain skin was flawless, and her delicate, refined features carried a mesmerizing charm.

But most striking of all were her pure, snow-white eyes, like a pair of crystalline pools reflecting the world.

Hmm…

If only it weren't for those two digestive tablets stuck to her face.

(ì _ í)

Oh, and the massive red eyeball in the middle of her forehead—that really killed the mood.

Still, overall, she definitely had the goddess vibe going for her. No doubt, she was breathtaking!

'Considering how beautiful you are, I'll let it slide that you've been staring at me with those blank eyes this whole time. LOL.'

As the two men observed Kaguya, she, in turn, was observing them.

For some reason…

She couldn't see through this human.

Even with the Rinne Sharingan on her forehead, she couldn't read any information about him.

So instead, she turned her attention to Madara.

The moment her Rinne Sharingan scanned over him—

She froze.

Tears welled up in her eyes and began to fall like broken pearls from a shattered necklace.

Madara: (_ )

He held out for a moment.

But soon, he couldn't take it anymore. Kaguya's bizarre reaction made his skin crawl, and he couldn't stop himself from snapping.

"You woman… Why are you staring at me?!"

Staring was one thing, but staring while crying?! What the hell was wrong with her?!

Kaguya ignored Madara's outburst and took a step closer, her graceful movements unhurried.

Images flashed through her mind at high speed.

A grand palace.

Two tiny infants, cradled in her arms as she cared for them with boundless love and tenderness.

Day by day, they grew under her watchful eyes.

She guided them patiently, teaching them how to use chakra, playing with them, cherishing every moment together.

Mother and sons, living in perfect harmony. Everything was so beautiful…

Even now, looking back on it, Kaguya still felt it was the happiest time of her life!

She had lived on this primitive planet, happier than she ever had been on her homeworld.

But good times never last.

Her sons grew older. They began to think for themselves. They started to question her.

"Mother, please stop offering sacrifices to the Divine Tree!"

"Silence! You are my children—you shall not defy me!"

"Mother, why would you do such terrible things?!"

"You don't understand their terror. I created an army with the Divine Tree to protect you!"

"That doesn't justify it! Mother, you once believed in the power of love!"

"And yet my love was betrayed! Love is meaningless to them—it is only power that speaks!"

"Mother, please, just once more, trust in the power of love! Stop the sacrifices!"

"Enough! I protected you, raised you, and in the end… another betrayal?!"

And so, mother and sons turned against each other.

A war raged on for months.

In the end…

Kaguya was sealed away by her own children, cast into the void of space.

For a thousand years, she suffered in solitude, drowning in the agony of betrayal.

Now, seeing the same chakra flowing in Madara…

Kaguya was reminded of the two who had stolen her power.

She remembered the joy… and the bitter sorrow that followed.

Overcome with emotion, she moved closer and closer to Madara.

Until at last, she was just a step away.

Tears streaming down her face, she opened her arms toward him.

"My child… come back… to your mother…"

Madara's entire body broke out in goosebumps.

'The hell is wrong with this woman?! Damn it! Who the hell is your kid?!'

But just then—

Madara suddenly felt his chakra being drawn toward her, pulled by an invisible force!

His expression darkened.

He was about to react when he suddenly realized—

His body couldn't move!

Seeing this, Obito let out a cold snort.

"All right, Kaguya-sama, that's enough."

"I called you out to talk, not to suck the life out!"

"My Grandpa Madara is already at his age limit! You think he can handle your nonsense?!"

'If you're gonna pick someone, at least come for me! (lol)'

With Obito's command, the blood mist in the space suddenly surged, severing Kaguya's influence over Madara.

Madara immediately took the opportunity to put some distance between them, his gaze filled with hostility as he studied Kaguya—clearly thinking about how to kill her.

Kaguya, however, was just staring at Obito in shock, blinking her large, teary eyes in confusion.

'(,, . ,,) Why… why can this human interfere with my technique?'

Seeing her bewildered expression, Obito smirked smugly, crossing his arms as he turned his back to her.

"In my Tsukuyomi world, my rules are law! (voice pack activated)"

Madara floated beside him, his voice cold.

"Obito, there's no need to waste words on this woman."

"Since we've lured her out, let's end her here and now."

Kaguya had just managed to stop crying, but at those words, her big, tear-filled eyes welled up again.

Her sons had sealed her away.

Now her "grandson" wanted to end her?

(╥﹏╥) Wuwuwu… how is this fair to me?!

Obito and Madara stared at the crying Kaguya in speechless frustration.

()

Come on, Kaguya!

You're supposed to be the goddess of this world's creation!

The ultimate villain planning to end the Shinobi world!

Why are you standing here sobbing like a lost child?!

Do you have any idea how much you're destroying your own character setting?!

Obito, thoroughly irritated, sighed and said with a complicated expression.

"(￢_￢) Enough crying, Kaguya-sama. Let's talk."

"Otherwise, I'll have to team up with Grandpa Madara and take you down for real."

Kaguya sniffled and spoke in her soft, sweet voice.

"(っ - ) You both… have my chakra flowing within you."

Obito raised a hand, already exasperated.

"Stop. Just stop."

"My chakra is mine. Madara's chakra is his."

"It has nothing to do with you, got it? And if you try anything funny…"

At this, Obito's lips curled into a dangerous smirk.

The blood mist thickened, almost dripping with menace.

"If you even think about it… I'll eat you alive."
