Chapter 250

At this moment, Senju Yukika's heart was filled with an intense killing intent. The Ōtsutsuki Clan had dared to use such underhanded tactics right under his nose—something he absolutely could not tolerate.

However, there was also a faint sense of dread rising in Yukika's heart. That mysterious pair of eyes had been able to project such power across the vast cosmos and remotely manipulate the body of a young girl...

This ability felt unnatural and unsettling. Could this power already surpass that of a True God?

Even if it were the three Ōtsutsuki ancestors taking action, their power should still be limited to the realm of True Gods. But if that's the case, then why couldn't Yukika—who had already attained that level—use similar powers?

Could it be that some other, unknown force in the universe had turned its gaze toward this planet?

Perhaps that pair of eyes had nothing to do with the Ōtsutsuki Clan at all?

Just then, in the Village Hidden in the Clouds, a similar incident occurred: a boy only ten years old fell into a coma, much like Uzumaki Ziwei. He had been unconscious for three days and three nights without waking.

When Yukika arrived there, he found the boy still unconscious.

The child's eyes were shut tightly, and his face was marked by pain. Yukika channeled his spiritual pressure into the boy's body and once again forcibly suppressed the familiar white shadow lurking inside.

Under this suppression, the boy slowly began to wake. However, unlike Uzumaki Ziwei, he remembered nothing of what had happened before falling unconscious. Not even a trace.

Yukika knew now—he had likely drawn the attention of those eerie, cosmic eyes. And that attention had manifested through some unknown method of influence.

But what exactly did those eyes want?

It was impossible to say. And ultimately, it didn't matter—for Yukika had returned to the Hollow Night Palace to explain everything to his people.

After this, he would begin his journey into the starry universe to seek out the ancestors of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.

Orochimaru and Hatake Masaru listened respectfully to Yukika's instructions. Both understood that he was preparing to leave the planet to explore the depths of space.

When this news spread among Yukika's followers, it caused a massive stir.

Those who had once fought in the mountain stronghold and endured the horrors of war returned to the palace upon hearing the announcement.

Seeing these comrades—now far stronger than before—brought great satisfaction to Yukika's heart.

He believed that for the foreseeable future, the honor of the Senju Clan would continue to shine over this planet, and no one would be able to replace it.

Unless, of course, another alien race decided to invade this world.

Such a threat always loomed in the background. Even though Yukika now stood at the level of a True God, as Ōtsutsuki Iron Fortress once said: the universe was too vast and mysterious—who could say whether beings beyond even the True God realm existed?

And if such a being ever came here, could Yukika in his current state truly face them?

But as the saying goes, Yukika had never been one to sit and wait for danger. He preferred to act—solve the obstacles before him on his own terms.

Suddenly, Orochimaru spoke up thoughtfully.

"Lord Yukika, although you've unified the ninja world, the Five Great Nations have long been fragmented. Their people are not truly united. I fear that after your departure, chaos may break out—"

Yukika looked at him and said calmly, "No matter what trouble arises, with your strength now, do you really think you can't handle it?"

These days, it wasn't just Orochimaru and Hatake Masaru who had grown powerful—even the average members of the Senju Clan had all reached what the ninja world called the "demigod" level.

Any ordinary warrior among them, if born in the same era as Hashirama Senju, would be only slightly inferior—barely a gap at all.

And that was only the average clan member. The elite disciples had already reached power levels close to that of the First Hokage himself.

Orochimaru, in particular, was already on the same level as the First Hokage. If he had existed a hundred years ago, he would've been hailed as the God of the Shinobi World.

So Yukika firmly believed that after his departure, even if unrest broke out among the Five Great Nations, Orochimaru would be more than capable of handling it.

Still, Orochimaru voiced his concerns.

"While you're here, Lord Yukika, all shinobi are cautious. No one dares step out of line. But once you're gone, your reputation will fade with time. Eventually, they'll begin to harbor rebellious thoughts."

Orochimaru was meticulous and far-sighted. He understood that the root of the issue lay in people's hearts.

Once Yukika left, even though his followers could still use force to suppress any rebellion, secret dissatisfaction would fester.

Troublemakers would emerge and use underhanded methods to create chaos. Over time, the unity Yukika had forged could collapse.

This was what Orochimaru feared the most, and he had to speak his mind.

After all, once Yukika embarked on his journey into the cosmic abyss, there was no telling when—or even if—he would return.

The universe was far too vast. Who could predict what might happen once he set out?

Yukika nodded thoughtfully and said,

"Very well. Before I leave, I'll summon the leaders of the Five Great Nations and leave them with a few parting words. I believe they won't dare betray their own honor."

Upon hearing this, Orochimaru and the others looked visibly relieved.

Orochimaru said confidently, "If that's the case, then I believe they will follow Lord Yukika's commands. The future of the ninja world will remain peaceful."

Yukika nodded and ordered his people to summon the leaders of the Five Great Nations to the Hollow Night Palace.

Inside the palace, the village leaders waited anxiously, unsure what the legendary Master Yukika was about to announce.

As they grew more restless, Yukika appeared atop the throne at the palace's summit.

Then, he declared the unthinkable: he was leaving this planet under the governance of the Five Great Nations.

Everyone was stunned by this announcement.

For a hundred years, the world had accepted that Senju Yukika was the true ruler of their planet.

And now, he was saying he would leave it behind?

The room filled with murmurs and deep contemplation.

But Yukika, as if reading their thoughts, spoke with a voice heavy with authority:

"After I leave, all shall heed the command of the Hollow Night Palace. If anyone dares to cause chaos… I will show no mercy upon my return. Do I make myself clear?"

His voice wasn't loud.

But it carried a mysterious force that sent a chill through everyone present.

They all trembled instinctively—none dared to defy him.
