The Grel Stone's effect was obvious. The special chakra contained within could be used as an offensive measure and to rapidly heal injuries.
Immersed in the mineral vein, the speed of recovery was comparable to the Seal-less Healing. However, unlike the vast chakra consumption of Ōtsutsuki clan's Seal-less Healing, the mineral vein itself contained an immeasurable amount of chakra, making its value inestimable.
But the Grel Stone's capabilities clearly extended beyond this. Hyde could fly using its power, and his female knights could even undergo physical mutations through it. Lin Yu wasn't entirely clear on the specifics.
However, scientific matters were best left to scientists. The most important thing now was how to trick Kaguya into parting with some of the Grel mineral vein.
"Kaguya, where did you put that Grel mineral vein?" Lin Yu rubbed his hands together, a smile spreading across his face.
Seeing Lin Yu's expression, Kaguya knew he was eyeing her snacks. Her delicate face tilted upwards slightly as she said, "That's mine!"
Perhaps Kaguya herself hadn't noticed, but her self-address towards Lin Yu was gradually changing, slowly placing them on equal footing.
"Did you put it in the Ice-Snow Space?"
Kaguya rolled her eyes at Lin Yu and chuckled, "There are ice cream cones in the Ice-Snow Space."
"Is it lava then?"
Kaguya shook her head.
"Sand? Acid? Super gravity?"
Kaguya's eyebrows curved as she said, "None of those!"
"Oh! I know!"
*Woosh!*
Kaguya watched as Lin Yu suddenly disappeared before her eyes, tilting her little head. Where did he go? Why did he stop guessing? There was only one option left.
However, Kaguya only paused for two seconds before a blush of embarrassment and anger spread across her exquisite features.
"You little, Uzumaki Lin Yu! How dare you break into my home! I won't forgive you!"
A spatial rift tore open behind her, and Kaguya quickly floated into it. For some reason, a shy blush began to bloom on Kaguya's face.
Within the Ōtsutsuki dimension, Lin Yu forcefully entered Kaguya's space using his Space-Time Eye ability.
"Kaguya is truly a naive and sweet girl. Thankfully, she's powerful, or she'd really be tricked out of everything and still have to help count the money."
"Where is it... Ah, got it!"
A giant blue crystal floated above the palace within the Ōtsutsuki dimension. This was the lifeblood of the Grel mineral vein.
Lin Yu flew up, about to strike it, when his gaze casually swept into the palace. What was intended as an unintentional glance, froze him in the next second.
"Holy crap, what is all this!"
Maid outfits, sailor uniforms, teacher's attire, princess dresses... Lin Yu even saw various styles of lingerie and panties...
Kaguya... she didn't seem like someone so unrestrained!
Could it be that while outwardly she was the majestic and noble progenitor of chakra, privately she was quite liberated?
Before Lin Yu could observe further, a spatial rift tore open behind him, and a pair of fair, slender hands shot out and grabbed at Lin Yu.
"Uzumaki Lin Yu! Die for me!"
"Ah! Kaguya, listen to me, I haven't even started attacking yet!"
Kaguya's face was flushed with a mixture of shame and anger. Her secrets had been seen by this guy, and he had to be silenced!
"No need to say more. Today, we must settle this!"
Lin Yu said with a serious expression, "Kaguya, I'm a respectable person. I think black stockings would suit you better."
Black stockings with white hair, it's a perfect match!
"Die!"
Kaguya was angry, but not entirely so. She chased Lin Yu, not even using any ninjutsu.
Lin Yu led Kaguya in circles above the palace, managing to chisel off a small piece of the Grel mineral vein. It was palm-sized, enough for research experiments.
"My snack!"
At this moment, Kaguya was like a young girl, her blue and white hair fluttering. She headbutted Lin Yu with a rocket-like force, knocking him down. Her small hands grabbed the Grel Stone from Lin Yu's grasp, and she said fiercely, "Give it back to me!"
Seeing Kaguya's fierce yet adorable demeanor in his arms, Lin Yu's lips curled into a mischievous smile. "Kaguya, don't rush. I can compensate you with other things."
"I don't want to!"
Kaguya's little mouth pouted slightly. She was very displeased with Lin Yu's intrusion into her private chambers and the theft of her snack!
"Try it first, then decide if you want it."
"Try what?"
Under Kaguya's slightly dazed and cute gaze, Lin Yu lowered his head and kissed her slightly upturned, rosy lips.
"Mmph!"
Although it wasn't the first time, and it was the second time today, Kaguya still found herself helpless. She wanted to push Lin Yu away, but the tingling sensation made her limbs weak, and her body gradually softened. The hands that were holding the stone slowly grasped Lin Yu's clothes instead.
Kaguya slowly closed her eyes, and the two embraced in the air, kissing.
On the ground, a miniature Ten-Tails blinked its blood-red Rinne Sharingan eyes, looking somewhat lost.
Should it look away? Had these two considered it, a single Ten-Tails?
...
In the endless starry sky, a man in Ōtsutsuki attire was traversing the void. He had a sturdy build and a horn on his head that resembled a dragon's horn. He was Urashiki's partner.
Perhaps "future partner" was more accurate. Urashiki was a new generation Ōtsutsuki, like an intern among humans, still in the training phase.
The Ōtsutsuki clan usually partnered up, one offensive and one support, like Momoshiki and Kinshiki. Ōtsutsuki Urashiki leaned towards the support type, and his partner was a power-type specializing in offense.
"I never imagined a remote planet could claim the lives of four Ōtsutsuki."
"No, if we count Lord Jibashiri... then it's truly not something to be underestimated."
The deaths of Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki, and Isshiki were somehow known to the higher-ups of the Ōtsutsuki clan, and the news was then passed on to Urashiki's partner, who was...
"Ryushiki, you should know why the higher-ups sent me. For this mission, you will obey my every command."
A man shrouded in light, whose face was unclear, spoke with a voice as grand as that of a celestial being, inspiring awe in the hearts of others.
"Kamishiki, though your name is Kamishiki, you are not truly god-like like Lord Jibashiri."
"Hmph, enough nonsense. Understand your place." Kamishiki snorted, his tone arrogant.
Ryushiki turned his head away and said no more. Kamishiki's status was higher than his, much higher even, but not due to his strength, but his role.
The two fell silent and hurried towards the ninja world with all their might.

ps: Every fanfiction features different original Ōtsutsuki, so please view them with a fresh perspective~ Do not compare them!
Ahem, let's talk business. The book has been placed in a "little black room" (censored/restricted). It was reviewed last week, as everyone knows. Although I can still update, I'm out of funds, and many readers have left. There are also many haters gloating. None of that matters.
I said over a hundred chapters ago that I would not break updates, would not abandon the story, and would not have a bad ending. This is my guarantee, so I will never stop or end poorly due to censorship. Besides, it shouldn't be too long, right? I've deleted all the explicit content from before.
What keeps me going is you, who have persisted this far. Without you, I might have already quit. I must admit, being put in the "little black room" for the first time has my mentality a bit shattered, and the writing isn't as satisfactory as I'd like, but I will still think of a good ending and won't rush it.
Finally, if there's anything you'd like to see, leave a comment. Some things might be difficult to insert into the main story abruptly, but side stories are definitely something to consider!
