Chapter 35
Mikoto's Pilgrimage and the Lunar Anomaly!

Once, someone said that deities are like a blazing sun.

The closer you get, the easier you are to be burned.

And some arrogant fools always think they are not far from the gods.

They act beyond their limits.

Thus, they are met with backlash.

Otsutsuki Yui was like this, and so was Otsutsuki Yuu.

Sometimes, not only is being weak a sin, but being strong can also be a crime!

It is precisely because of the strength of these two brothers that they can see far more than the Third Generation, Danzo, and the ninjas of Konoha!

Moreover, without Lu Ming's special protection.

Just a glance was enough to leave these two brothers feeling overwhelmed.

In the desolate center.

Lu Ming, who had created a light screen and was watching a "movie," sensed a fluctuation in space.

As expected, it was Uchiha Mikoto arriving.

Unlike the reserved, timid, and self-deprecating Anna, the girl was in the prime of her youth, a time of intense curiosity.

At this moment, she was curiously observing her surroundings.

However, with Uchiha Mikoto's meager strength, how could she see through the entire desolation?

The starry sky she gazed upon was merely a decoration created by Lu Ming.

"Come here."

Lu Ming said softly.

"Yes, my god."

Like a lively little deer, Uchiha Mikoto ran to Lu Ming's side and respectfully bowed to the deity she would serve in the future.

As expected of a young lady from an ancient family, Uchiha Mikoto clearly had received professional etiquette training.

Her bowing posture was very standard, showcasing her stunning waist and hip line to perfection!

If the full score is ten, she could easily score a nine point nine.

The remaining point was deducted for her not being mature enough in demeanor.

If it were during the time she gave birth to Sasuke, it would have been perfect..............

Lu Ming thought this and then shook his head with a silent laugh.

Never would he have imagined that the real villain was himself!

It seems that no matter what kind of existence he became, he still couldn't change his bad habit of liking other people's wives.

From today onward.

No more drinking!

Joking with himself in his heart was one way for Lu Ming to maintain his humanity.

Otherwise, if he stayed in this desolation for too long, he might really become a high and mighty being who unifies all things.

After the bowing, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't contain her curiosity and poked her little head out, asking, "My god."

"Are you watching a movie?"

"Yes, do you want to watch it too?"

Lu Ming didn't mind Uchiha Mikoto's little liveliness; rather, it was her arrival that brought a bit of vitality to this eternally unchanged and lifeless desolation.

It also brought Lu Ming a bit of human warmth.

"I want to!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Mikoto revealed a big smile, her striking black-and-white eyes curving into crescent moons.

So charming.

Compared to her mature wife demeanor, this version of Uchiha Mikoto had a different youthful charm.

In any case, Lu Ming quite liked it.

He felt an extra fondness for Uchiha Mikoto.

Just like how humans can't help but smile happily when they see a cute kitten, wanting to pet it and imitate its "meow meow" sounds.

"Then let's watch together."

Waving his hand, Uchiha Mikoto soared into the air and landed in Lu Ming's embrace.

The starry sky instantly transformed into a home theater.

Under Lu Ming, a soft large bed appeared.

Feeling the warmth radiating from the young man, the girl's face turned rosy.

She had never been so intimately close to a male before.

Her whole body was covered in goosebumps, instinctively wanting to pull away.

But then she thought, as a priestess serving a deity, how could she refuse the deity's kindness?

So she obediently relaxed and snuggled closer into Lu Ming's embrace.

Feeling the soft pressure, Lu Ming patted the girl's pert bottom and said, "Don't move around, Mikoto. Let's watch the movie first; this is what's happening in your world."

"Ah?"

Uchiha Mikoto was taken aback, then realized the seriousness of the situation!

She began to ponder what could possibly happen in the ninja world that would warrant the great deity's personal attention?

Soon, the light screen provided the answer.

It was a satellite covered in circular mountains.

There was no oxygen, nor any life present.

It was the moon created by the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Yui!

Wait!

The moon?

Uchiha Mikoto grew even more curious; what could possibly happen on the moon?

Quickly, the light screen revealed the answer.

Indeed, there were no native life forms on the moon.

However, thousands of years ago, the Otsutsuki clan, inheritors of the Byakugan from Otsutsuki Yuu, split into two branches.

One branch, over the long years, forgot their original surname and renamed themselves Hyuga.

While the other branch still remembered their identity and mission.

On the desolate and silent moon, they faithfully fulfilled the mission handed down by their ancestors.

They observed the ninja world from the moon, judging whether humanity had any value in existence.

If they were utterly disappointed in humanity, they would control the massive Rinnegan and directly destroy the entire ninja world!

Originally, it should have been like this..................

Until that day, when the deity descended from the heavens.

The descendants of Yuu, responsible for observing the ninja world, were punished for gazing directly at the deity.

The clan members tried every possible way to save him, but to no avail.

In just one hour, the descendant of Yuu underwent a terrifying transformation!

Though he still maintained a human form, if one looked closely, they would realize he was no longer human!

What appeared to be an ordinary body was actually composed of billions of flesh buds; once attacked, these buds would scatter like they were frightened!

Then they would reassemble!

Even more terrifying was that the head of that descendant had lost its facial features.

His face and back of the head were replaced by a gigantic Byakugan that occupied the entire face area...............

These two enormous Byakugan emitted a strong malice and carried a terrifying pollution.

Many clan members died before they managed to suppress and seal him away.

They thought the matter had settled.

But little did they know, the real trouble they had to face was just beginning...................

This pitiful and lamentable clan recognized the identity of the newcomer through their attire.

Many of them broke down on the spot.

The reason was simple; this polluted monster was none other than the ancestor of the Otsutsuki clan on the moon!

Otsutsuki Yui's biological brother!

—The Otsutsuki Yuu who, after gazing at the deity, suffered pollution and underwent a complete transformation!
