Chapter 123: Kaguya at the Peak of Immortality
He sped along and soon arrived at the main tent of the Thousand Hands Clan Chief. Ignoring the guards' attempts to stop him, he barged straight in.
The Senju clan patriarch was bent over, studying the battle map and arranging the defenses of Kikyo Mountain. Seeing his son barge in, his face darkened, and he roared, "Nonsense! What are you doing here at Kikyo Mountain? This is the main direction of the Uchiha's attack! A great battle is imminent, and blood will flow like a river. This place is extremely dangerous. Go back immediately!"
"Father! Please listen to me!"
Senjutsu no longer had time to calm her rapid breathing.
"I've scouted the battlefield and found out that the Uchiha clan has no intention of attacking Kikyo Mountain! They're planning to join forces with the Hagoromo clan and launch a surprise attack on the Senju's rear!"
He followed the Black Annihilation Sect's rhetoric, his tone urgent yet solemn, each word ringing with conviction:
"Your son traveled day and night, covering eight hundred miles, and even lost three horses in the process, to risk his life to return and deliver this message to you!"

Myoboku-san, Changsheng Peak.
There stands a building that is completely contrary to the ancient style of the ninja world.
It is a villa
That was a residence built ten thousand times according to the style of a modern villa from a previous life, with smooth marble, floor tiles, a swimming pool, and a lawn...
The Myoboku Mountain, filled with sacred trees and herbs, exudes a strong sense of disharmony.
Kaguya sat upright on the sofa, her noble posture tense, a hint of unease emanating from her. She gently poked the soft fabric of the sofa with her fingertips.
"Wow, Manji's room is really weird, the layout is so strange!"
Kaguya muttered to herself.
Having lived a long time and seen the grandeur of the Otsutsuki Shrine and the simplicity of the ninja world's thatched huts, this soft and novel furnishing left the once-ruling goddess of the ninja world at a loss.
My eyes fell on the uniquely designed record player on the table.
"What is this?"
Kaguya was instantly intrigued and leaned over to casually fiddle with the parts on it.
"♪♪～～♫♫～～～"
A melodious and soothing piece of pure music suddenly flowed out, the clear and gentle notes like a spring flowing over stones, like a breeze brushing against clouds, a beautiful sound she had never heard before.
Kaguya's white eyes widened slightly, filled with surprise: "So this thing can make sounds..."
She listened quietly, her tense brows gradually relaxing.
"It sounds pretty good..."
Kaguya murmured softly.
She immediately closed her eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and peacefully enjoyed this rare moment of relaxation. The loneliness and tension of the long years quietly melted away in the music.
If I had had this back then, I wouldn't have been so bored that I would look up at the sky every day.
But a moment later, the music stopped abruptly.
Kaguya suddenly opened her eyes, a look of confusion on them. She picked up the record player and examined it from all angles, muttering to herself in bewilderment, "Why did it stop?"
She held the record player in her hands, gently touching it as if it were a rare treasure.
"Are you a treasure? Can you talk to me? I want to hear the sound you just made."
Kaguya spoke into the record player.
But the record player was just a cold, lifeless object, offering no response whatsoever.
Kaguya panicked, frantically fiddling with the parts, when a crisp click was heard!
"Snapped!"
The record player slipped from her hands, crashed heavily to the ground, and shattered into several pieces, with metal and plastic parts scattered all over the floor.
"what!"
Kaguya's expression suddenly changed to one of shock, and she panicked. She quickly crouched down and looked at the shards scattered on the ground, helplessly trying to pick them up, but had no idea how to put them back together.
"Why does this thing break so easily...?"
Kaguya's beautiful white eyes reddened slightly, and a sense of unease welled up inside her.
She was summoned by Wanci and was living under his roof. Wanci was already full of resentment towards her and always had a cold face towards her.
This object that could produce such melodious sounds must have been a treasure he cherished. Now that he had broken it, if Wanci knew, he would surely be furious.
They might even... even abuse themselves.
He was just a mortal now, and it would be easy for anyone to hit him ten thousand times over.
Kaguya squatted on the ground, her fingertips clenched so tightly they turned white, trying to piece the thing together.
at this time
"Knock knock knock!"
A crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out.
Kaguya's heart tightened, and she forced herself to get up and open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Wan Ci stood in the doorway with a gloomy face, his cold gaze sweeping over.
"You...have arrived?"
Kaguya lowered her eyes.
Ever since she was summoned to the world by Manji, he has always given her a sour and cold face, as if she owes him five million chakra fruits.
"Um."
Wan Ci responded lightly, his gaze sweeping across the room.
He had come to check on Kaguya's condition and wanted to ask her about Yin-Yang Release and Bloodline Limits.
After all, Kaguya had wielded power before, and her experience far surpassed that of himself.
"What are you doing?" Wanci asked in a deep voice.
"I……"
Kaguya's lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, then she lowered her head deeply, her voice barely audible: "I'm sorry, I broke your treasure."
She pointed to the broken pieces of the record player on the ground.
Wanci followed her finger and frowned slightly, but simply shook his head gently, his tone flat and indifferent: "It's nothing."
"Aren't you angry?"
Kaguya suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with astonishment, unable to believe her ears.
Wan Ci glanced at her indifferently and slowly said, "Heh, how could this old man get angry over such a trivial matter?"
Upon hearing this, Kaguya frowned, her long-suppressed doubts finally bursting forth, and she blurted out, "Why do you keep saying 'old man, old man'? Are you that old, Manji? How many years have passed exactly?"
"I'll tell you later. If you're bored, you can go for a walk on Mount Myoboku. I'm not restricting your movements."
Wan glanced at her indifferently, his tone flat and emotionless: "Are you bored?"
As he spoke, Wan bent down and easily picked up the broken pieces of the record player from the ground. He casually weighed them in his fingertips without showing any regret.
This kind of thing can be made by Gamamaru.
Speaking of which, it seems that Gamamaru is about to build a television.
It is currently under testing.
Kaguya nodded gently, her voice soft and carrying a hint of indifference that came with the passage of time: "A little, but I'm used to it."
She's always been like this.
Alone in emptiness and loneliness, boredom is a normal state etched into one's bones. But now, in this unfamiliar place, this boredom is a little more disorienting.
Wan Ci pondered for a moment upon hearing this, his gaze shifting slightly as he quietly began to make his own plans.
He thought it would be better to use some sweet talk and persuasion to slowly win over Kaguya, just like he did with Black Zetsu, so that this Otsutsuki could be completely brought under his control.
After all, I'll need some experience to face the Otsutsuki in the future.
Having calmed his thoughts, Manji looked up at Kaguya and said in a calm tone, "If you're bored, you can go read a book."
"What books are you reading?"
Kaguya raised her head, a faint curiosity appearing in her pure white eyes.
Wanci smiled faintly, flicked his wrist, and took out an antique-looking book from his sleeve.
Even ten thousand times can be boring in the passage of time.
So he developed a love for writing books and novels.
Wanci reached out and offered his hand to Kaguya, speaking softly:
"I recommend you read this book, it's called: 'A Veteran of the Ninja World: Living from Ancient Times to the New Era'."
