Naruto: About the Fact That my Brother is Madara-Chapter 282: Lady Kaguya Wants Me To…

He had a strong premonition—Kaguya was destined to become the greatest female star in the history of the Fire Country. No, not just the Fire Country. She was born to be the first true super-celebrity in the entire history of cinema.

She possessed all the necessary qualities.

"I'm sorry," Kaguya interrupted him before he could speak, her voice calm yet firm. "I may not have time to continue filming."

"Please, don't be so quick to refuse," the director began, trying to persuade her. "I truly believe—"

"She already said no." A voice cut him off.

Kyōsuke entered the room with a relaxed smile on his face. His confident demeanor immediately caused the director to frown. "She doesn't have time to continue with the production," he said again, reiterating Kaguya's decision.

"Who are you?" the director asked, suspicion rising in his tone.

There was no doubt that Lady Kaguya was single.

Or to be more precise, aside from the mysterious agent who was never seen in public, the director had never known her to have any close acquaintances.

Now, out of nowhere, this man had appeared beside her, and he spoke as if he had the right to make decisions on her behalf. It was enough to arouse anyone's doubts.

Could she have gotten involved with some underground group?

Faced with the director's wary expression, Kaguya, unwilling to reveal her true identity or her connection to Kyōsuke, came up with a rather clumsy excuse.

"He's my man."

Director: "."

Kyōsuke: "."

Even Black Zetsu, who had just stepped through the doorway, was so shaken that he visibly froze.

What does she mean by "he's my man"?

If Uchiha Kyōsuke was Mother's man... then what did that make him?

Just what in the world had happened on the moon? How had things spiraled into this direction?

A complex blend of fury and panic surged through Black Zetsu.

If his worst fears became reality, how on earth was he supposed to continue interacting with this guy?

No, this won't do. There had to be a clear line between them.

From now on, if Kyōsuke called him Little Black, he would just have to call him "Dad" in return.

"Hold on. Uchiha... that's Indra's bloodline, isn't it?"

"No! You two absolutely cannot be together!"

Black Zetsu, suddenly brimming with righteous indignation, pointed straight at them and declared their relationship inappropriate, as if unveiling some monumental scandal.

The people directly involved, however, seemed rather unfazed.

The director, on the other hand, looked as though his eyeballs were about to pop out of his sockets.

He didn't understand anything about this "Indra" or what significance the name held, but even he could sense there was something disturbingly intimate between the two.

And this revelation, whether true or not, was explosive beyond belief.

If this got out to the public, it would create a media storm like no other. Ratings would skyrocket without a doubt.

The sequel's script could use a rewrite as well.

Perhaps it even needed a new title. Something like "The Gentle Aunt" would surely captivate the audience.

"I see," Kaguya murmured quietly, showing not even the faintest hint of surprise upon learning that the trio of scouts had all perished.

Considering that the man standing before her had managed to kill Isshiki Ōtsutsuki with his own hands, it was absurd to think that a few inexperienced warriors who had not even consumed the chakra fruit could pose any real threat.

As for why those three had come in the first place, Kaguya suspected that Isshiki had managed to send some kind of signal to their homeworld before his demise.

When the main clan received no further communication, they had likely sent a few lower-ranked members to investigate the situation.

Now that even these members had been defeated, it was certain that the main Ōtsutsuki clan would become highly alert.

Next time, they would not be sending mere foot soldiers.

It was highly probable that they would dispatch members of the Law Enforcement Division.

And if luck ran out, even one of the Twelve Apostles might personally descend upon the Earth.

In that case, the only fate awaiting the shinobi world would be utter destruction.

If one were to ask just how terrifying the Ōtsutsuki enforcement forces were, the answer would be simple.

Even Kaguya, who had consumed the chakra fruit and successfully ignited her Divine Flame, could only think of relying on her White Zetsu army to guard her.

And for that, she had been willing to kill her own son with her own hands.

It wasn't because she didn't love him. It was because the fear of death had long since eroded her soul.

She understood all too well that without some external force aiding her, the day the enforcement squad arrived would be the day she met her end.

That was precisely why she hadn't chosen to collect the Tailed Beasts—because doing so would have been utterly meaningless.

Instead of turning against the Shinobi Sect or the Hidden Leaf Village, it made far more sense to attempt an alliance.

She knew the strength of both Hagoromo and Kyōsuke. In a fair battle, she had no chance of victory against either of them.

Her current plan was simple: help both of them ignite their Divine Flames, then join forces to resist the inevitable calamity that would one day descend upon the Earth.

"Defeating those three was trivial," Kaguya said, shaking her head. "The true challenge lies ahead—when the enforcement squad arrives."

"Every single one of them has at least ignited their Divine Flame once. They are terrifying beings, each more dreadful than the last."

"I know. You've told me before," Kyōsuke replied, his voice calm and composed.

It wasn't that he was indifferent, but rather that he understood fear was useless.

Instead of falling into mindless panic, it was better to proceed according to plan.

The true danger of the Ōtsutsuki lay in their strange, near-immortal nature. It wasn't just their strength that made them terrifying. It was their unnatural resilience.

Of course, nothing in this world was truly indestructible. Not even the Ōtsutsuki.

If one wanted to eliminate a threat of such scale, the best approach was to stand on equal footing.

Once everyone was on the same level, with no one possessing an innate or unbridgeable advantage, then the outcome would be determined by ability and strategy alone.

And Kyōsuke was not afraid of anyone.

This unshakable confidence had been forged through countless battles and victories.

Invincible as long as I exist — that was the truest reflection of Kyōsuke's current state of mind.

As for how he would ignite the Divine Flame, Kyōsuke had prepared two possible approaches.

Though he spent his days seemingly at leisure, playing with his granddaughter at home, in reality, his shadow clones had never ceased their work. Not even for a moment.

Using the power of space traversal, they ceaselessly scoured the dimensions, searching for the hidden domain where Isshiki had concealed his greatest secrets.

Only by capturing the masterless Ten-Tails could his grand plan truly begin.

Meanwhile, another of his shadow clones had ventured to Hoshikage Village, a place where a strange meteorite of extraterrestrial origin had fallen from the cosmos.

To put it simply, it was a chunk of cosmic debris from the depths of space. What made it truly extraordinary, however, was the presence of a bizarre form of chakra within it — one that was toxic to the human body.

Kyōsuke was convinced that this substance was not born of chance. Behind it likely lurked the remnants of an unknown extraterrestrial civilization.

Once the Ten-Tails was found and nurtured to a suitable state, the next step would be to set out in search of the planet from which that meteorite originated.

This was Kyōsuke's current undertaking. Naturally, it was the shadow clones who bore the burden of all the legwork.

"Law Enforcement Division," Kyōsuke murmured, a hint of curiosity in his voice. "What kind of powerful beings does it consist of?"

"Compared to Isshiki... or to me and Hagoromo, how do they stand?"

"The law enforcement division..." Kaguya's voice trailed off, her tone elongating as if drawn back into bitter, unwelcome memories.

"Let me put it this way," she began slowly, her voice laced with tension. "The most formidable among them are the twelve Captains. Each of these individuals is a killing machine with millennia of battle experience carved into their very bones."

"Any one of them descending upon Earth would be enough to exterminate all life, myself included, with effortless ease."

"That strong, huh." Kyōsuke rubbed his chin, his eyes narrowing as his mind turned over a dozen thoughts.

After a moment of contemplation, he asked again, "And what about the so-called High Council? How do they compare to the Law Enforcement Division?"

At this, Kaguya's gaze turned cold. She looked at him sidelong, a faint warning glinting in her eyes as she replied with a solemn tone, "Let me offer you a word of caution. Do not even consider opposing the High Council."

"To you, they are as far removed as we are from an ordinary mortal. It's not a question of strength. It's that you simply lack the means to deal with them at all."

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Kyōsuke furrowed his brows, feigning a reluctant skepticism. He was hoping to coax more information from her, peeling back the veil with careful words.

He knew perfectly well how formidable the enemy must be. After all, just the mention of their name was enough to nearly scare the Moon Goddess Urine-less.

"Omniscience and omnipotence," Kaguya suddenly muttered, invoking a concept more abstract than concrete.

The meaning of the phrase was easy enough to grasp — all-knowing, all-powerful. And yet, nothing in existence is truly absolute. Everything is relative. If true omniscience and omnipotence existed, Earth would not have experienced so many unexpected calamities.

What she likely referred to was a specific, terrifying ability that mimicked the concept.

"During the Millennia War," she continued, her voice turning quiet but steady, "the immense native forces of Saint Sanctury managed to suppress the Law Enforcement Division for a time."

"But just as we believed victory was within reach, a single Elder of the High Council appeared."

"The one we called the strongest, my own father, fell in that battle."

"It was as if the enemy truly knew everything — no matter what strategy we devised or what methods we employed, the outcome was always the same."

"Defeat."

As she spoke, Kaguya lowered her head, falling into a heavy silence. A cascade of past scenes flashed through her mind — memories she had long buried but could never truly forget.

Beside her, Black Zetsu looked on with pain in his eyes, his heart aching for his mother. Then he turned and glared fiercely at Kyōsuke, his eyes blazing with fury.

It was as if he were silently roaring, See what you've done? All your incessant questions have upset her. And you still think you're worthy of being with Mother?

Tch. Even if you had the emotional intelligence of a saint, I still wouldn't allow it, Black Zetsu told himself repeatedly, reinforcing the line he'd drawn in his heart.

"Ahem." Kyōsuke cleared his throat with a few light coughs, drawing Kaguya's attention back to him. His usual carefree expression had returned, and what he said next nearly made Black Zetsu explode with rage.

"I just want to know," Kyōsuke said, smiling slightly, "if the enemy was so powerful, how did you manage to survive? And how did things come to the state they are in today?"

Kaguya lifted her gaze, staring at him blankly for a few seconds. Then suddenly, she smiled, brilliant and bright.

"I understand what you're trying to say. Regardless of the principle behind their power, that being couldn't possibly be truly omniscient or omnipotent in the absolute sense."

"No matter how overwhelming an ability may be, there is always a flaw, always an opening waiting to be seized. That's what you meant, isn't it?"

"I like smart women," Kyōsuke replied, smiling as he nodded in agreement.

It was good to see her confidence returning. If she had remained stuck in despair before the battle even began, then they might as well have surrendered right then and there. Maybe they would have even been granted some mercy.

"Watch your language," Black Zetsu hissed from the side, his tone low and filled with menace, as though he might lunge forward and bite Kyōsuke at any moment.

Kyōsuke paid no mind to the dutiful son's resentment. He continued speaking with Kaguya, delving deeper into the secrets of the Ōtsutsuki clan. His goal was clear: gather as much information as possible to understand their enemy.

---

Far across the vast and empty cosmos, a familiar silhouette flickered for the briefest instant before vanishing again.

It was on the 1,782nd attempt at opening an unfamiliar dimension that one of Kyōsuke's shadow clones finally smiled.

A deep and dreadful roar echoed from within a mysterious ancient structure, as though the beast inside had sensed the approach of danger.

Floating silently above the building, the clone looked down, and what met his eyes was a massive creature with ten fearsome tails.

"At last," he whispered, eyes narrowing with satisfaction. "I've found you."
