111 Kaguya is Exposed, Konan's High Awareness

Late that night.

After returning to his home in the clan's territory and greeting Nohara Rin and Pakura, Night Star went back to his bedroom and began recording in his diary:

["The situation in Konoha has stabilized."]

Yugito and Mabui: ?

A coup d'état, resolved in just half a day?

In their expectations, the Uchiha should have fought fiercely with the Hokage's faction for three days and three nights, with rivers of blood flowing, before a final outcome could be determined.

Moreover, the two women harbored a fantasy.

If Night Star had been killed by the Third Hokage during the coup, Kumogakure wouldn't have to face such a formidable enemy.

Now, it seems that this was ultimately unrealistic.

What comforted them was that with such chaos erupting within Konoha, Night Star must have sustained some injuries during his confrontation with the Third Hokage.

Thus, even if the frontlines of Kumogakure were in crisis, Night Star, focused on stabilizing Konoha and nursing his wounds, wouldn't be able to rush over anytime soon.

War is all about timing.

And Kumogakure has seized the moment when Konoha is at its weakest.

Yugito and Mabui would never have imagined that not only was Night Star uninjured, but Sarutobi Hiruzen never even managed to lay a finger on him.

This is the difference in strength between a Kage-level shinobi and one who has surpassed the Kage level.

Inside the moon, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya sat with her legs crossed, flipping through the diary with great interest.

["This ant is quite interesting."]

As a member of the Ōtsutsuki clan, she considered herself a god, viewing everyone in the shinobi world as mere ants.

Moreover, after consuming the chakra fruit from the God Tree, Kaguya gained a truly immortal body and strength that ranked among the top even within the Ōtsutsuki clan.

Now, she had no further desires for power.

Her only wish was to destroy the shinobi world created by her two traitorous sons, Hagoromo and Hamura.

Time was on her side; she could wait patiently.

In the next moment, however, Kaguya's slightly amused expression vanished without a trace.

Because in the diary, she actually saw her own name!

["The threshold of surpassing Kage level this is my current strength."]

["In the shinobi world, no one is my match."]

["But I must continue to grow stronger."]

["At the very least, I need strength sufficient to crush Ōtsutsuki Kaguya before I can truly relax and enjoy life."]

Upon reading this passage, the kunoichi were filled with confusion.

First question:

What does "surpassing Kage level" mean?

Literally, it means surpassing the Kage?

Is it because Night Star killed Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, that he now refers to his strength as surpassing Kage level?

The two women from Kumogakure thought this wasn't a big deal.

An aged Sarutobi Hiruzen could easily be dealt with by the Fourth Raikage or Killer B, the Eight-Tails Jinchūriki.

But...

Who is this Ōtsutsuki Kaguya that Night Star has set as his target?

Throughout the diary, Night Star has maintained an attitude of being invincible in the world.

And the facts prove that, in the current shinobi world, few can match him.

What kind of existence is this Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, whom Uchiha Night Star regards as his target?

["Ōtsutsuki..."]

Kurenai frowned slightly, recalling a story her father had told her when she was young.

Legend has it that a being named Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, later known as the Sage of Six Paths, created ninjutsu.

However, legends are just legends.

Few in the shinobi world believe that the so-called Sage of Six Paths truly existed.

But Night Star wrote in his diary that Nagato of the Akatsuki possesses the so-called "Eyes of the Sage of Six Paths."

And now, this Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who shares the same surname as the Sage of Six Paths, also sounds like a supreme powerhouse.

Could it be that legends are not just legends, but stories that actually happened?

What's even more unbelievable to the kunoichi is that Uchiha Night Star is goal is actually this Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who is intricately connected to the Sage of Six Paths?

Good heavens, isn't this ambition a bit too grand?

["This brat actually knows of my existence?"]

Kaguya's delicate brows furrowed, thinking that this didn't add up.

Her name was known only to members of the Ōtsutsuki clan and her two sons; no one else should be aware of it.

(Note: Kaguya never married; that was an anime-original addition, turning the Rabbit Goddess into a love-seeking lady.)

Moreover, judging from Night Star is words, this brat seems to have a clear understanding of her strength?

["Since you know my strength, how dare you boast about crushing me?"]

A hint of disdainful laughter appeared at the corner of Kaguya's lips.

["A mere ant, truly full of hot air."]

["There are two specific tasks I need to accomplish next."]

["Heal Might Guy's body, complete the diary's mission, and resurrect Nohara Rin and my brother-in-law, Nawaki."]

Upon seeing the term "brother-in-law," Tsunade's cheeks flushed, and she spat out lightly:

["You little brat, who said I'd marry you?"]

She fantasized briefly about the image of herself as a virtuous wife and mother, thinking that if Night Star were to propose, it might not be entirely unacceptable.

It would all depend on his performance.

["I didn't expect Tsunade to give me that necklace."]

["I remember she only gives it to the person she loves most."]

["Hmm... this is like a silent confession, right? Blondes really are tsunderes."]

Reading this, Tsunade's face turned bright red, and she wished she could burrow into a hole in the ground.

She hadn't forgotten that this diary wasn't just visible to her. Since her student Shizune could also see it, it meant that many others might have access to it as well.

Like... Kurenai, Yugao, and so on...

The thought of her feelings for Night Star being laid bare for all to see made Tsunade feel incredibly embarrassed. She jumped onto her bed, burying her face deep into her pillow.

["These two tasks one requires me to find Orochimaru, and the other requires me to find Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan."]

["It seems I'll have to make a trip to the Land of Rain after all."]

["Night Star is coming to the Land of Rain?"]

Konan read this passage, a gentle smile forming at the corner of her lips.

She didn't particularly care about Night Star is relationship with Lady Tsunade.

As long as she could stay by his side, what did it matter if there were a few more sisters?

During the Akatsuki's time of crisis, she could seek Night Star is help.

This also meant that the more powerful kunoichi like Tsunade who were by Night Star is side, the more support the Akatsuki could rely on.

For the sake of creating a bright world, how could she afford to be jealous?
