Naruto and Sasuke decide to go to Kaguya for answers about Momoshiki, especially after he made such a strong impression as the apparent leader of the Ōtsutsuki trio. The two of them, still uncertain about the extent of the threat, feel that speaking with Kaguya might give them the answers they need to prepare for what's to come.

They arrive at the place where Kaguya resides, and the atmosphere is tense but calm. Black Zetsu is present, silently observing them, but they know better than to let their guard down around him.

Naruto: "Kaguya, we need your help. We've just encountered Momoshiki, and he's a serious threat. He seems like he's in charge of the others, but we don't really know much about him. Do you have any information on him?"

Kaguya looks at the two of them, her expression unreadable, but there's a flicker of recognition in her eyes as she considers their question. She rises, her movements graceful but commanding.

Kaguya: "Momoshiki is from the main branch of the Ōtsutsuki family, and he is one of the most dangerous of his kind. The Ōtsutsuki clan is divided into two branches—the main branch and the side branch. Those from the main branch, like Momoshiki, have eaten many chakra fruits, while those from the side branch are generally weaker and serve the main branch."

Sasuke listens carefully, his mind quickly piecing together the significance of what Kaguya is saying.

Sasuke: "So, Momoshiki is one of the higher-ups in their clan?"

Kaguya: "Yes. He has consumed at least ten chakra fruits. Each time an Ōtsutsuki eats a chakra fruit, their power grows exponentially, and they become more connected to the God Tree. A chakra fruit is what gives them the power to manipulate chakra at a grand scale. The more they consume, the more potent they become."

Naruto's eyes widen, the weight of Kaguya's words sinking in.

Naruto: "Ten chakra fruits? That's insane! How strong are we talking about here?!"

Kaguya: "You have seen his strength for yourselves. The sheer power of someone who has consumed ten chakra fruits is not something you can take lightly. His chakra is immense, and his abilities are incredibly refined. The main branch Ōtsutsuki are not to be underestimated, and Momoshiki is one of the strongest among them. He is a force to be reckoned with."

Sasuke: "So, is there any way to stop him or fight against someone like him?"

Kaguya pauses for a moment, considering her words carefully. The answer is not something she wants to say lightly, but she knows the truth must be known.

Kaguya: "You will need more than your current power to defeat someone like him. You will need allies, and you will need to be strategic. The power of an Ōtsutsuki is not something you can simply fight head-on with brute force. You have seen how quickly things can escalate with just one of them. If you plan to confront Momoshiki and his kind, you will need more than just strength—you will need intelligence, and you will need to understand the enemy's weaknesses."

The room falls silent for a moment as Naruto and Sasuke digest Kaguya's words. The tension in the air is palpable, and it's clear that the fight they are facing will be unlike anything they've ever faced before.

Naruto: "I see... So, what do we do now?"

Kaguya turns away for a moment, her gaze distant, but when she speaks again, it's clear that she's made a decision.

Kaguya: "You will have to rely on your own strength, but perhaps... I can offer you more Zetsu to help in the fight. My creations are strong, and they can assist you in battling Momoshiki and his forces."

Sasuke: "Zetsu, huh? Well, any help will be useful at this point."

Naruto: "Yeah! We can take them on together! We just need to know how to deal with them."

Kaguya's expression shifts slightly, and for a brief moment, her eyes darken with an ancient knowledge only she possesses.

Kaguya: "You must also consider what Momoshiki and the others truly want. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. And if they plan to return to the Ninja World, you must be ready. My Zetsu are strong, but it's up to you to make the final stand."

As the conversation winds down, Naruto and Sasuke exchange a glance. They know that this fight won't be easy, but with the right knowledge and preparation, they can stand a chance against the Ōtsutsuki—at least, against Momoshiki.

Naruto: "Thanks, Kaguya. We'll get stronger, and we'll be ready when they come back."

Sasuke: "We'll be ready for whatever they throw at us."
