Chapter 568 A Blatant Attack? A Silent Substitute
"Third Elder, after our in-depth investigation, there have indeed been two individuals behaving suspiciously in the eastern district of the clan's territory recently. However, despite reviewing the eyewitness accounts, we were unable to determine their true appearances. It's highly likely they used some form of disguise..."
A high-ranking sixth-level clan commander reported the investigation results to the Third Elder.
"Two people..."
The Third Elder nodded expressionlessly, his fingers inserting a small piece of explosive clay into a strange little pendant.
She knew these lazy tribal soldiers were unreliable, so she decided to use her own methods to find the clay maker.
The chief commander of the clan's army did not rush to leave; he was still waiting for further instructions from the third elder.
Ten minutes later, the Third Elder handed the completed special pendant to the clan's military commander.
"Take this pendant and hold it in your palm. It can help you find the guy who scattered the clay. Once you find him, bring him here!" the Third Elder instructed solemnly.
Looking at the pendant hanging in his palm, swaying slightly in one direction even without wind, the tribal commander nodded emphatically:
"Yes!"
As he turned to leave, the Third Elder immediately got up and went to wash her hands; the smelly, sticky mud was truly unbearable for her…
Just after the Third Elder finished washing her hands and applying perfume, her personal female assistant informed her of a situation:
"Third Elder, Lord Shenyue has brought a woman with him, saying he has important matters to discuss with you..."
"Shen Yue? That Shen Yue who recently returned to the clan and belongs to the Second Elder's faction?" The Third Elder frowned subconsciously.
"Yes, it's him!" The female assistant nodded in confirmation.
"Why...why did he come here for no reason?" The Third Elder's brows furrowed even deeper. She didn't know him at all; why would he come to her instead of the Second Elder? And he brought a woman with him...
"Fine, let them in!"
The Third Elder gave the order: whatever the other party wants, we can find out by asking them.
As a high-ranking Six Paths level Otsutsuki, if she wanted to request an audience with the clan leader, the clan leader would always grant her an audience unless he was too busy, let alone her, the Third Elder.
A moment later, the female assistant led Otsutsuki Kami Tsuki and a mysterious woman wearing a veil into the reception area.
Upon seeing this group, the Third Elder felt a strong sense of unease. However, before she could even ask any questions, a scarlet nine-tomoe Sharingan suddenly opened on the mysterious woman's forehead!
'Oops!!!'
The Third Elder had barely thought of this when, in the next second, she and her female assistant, along with the two sixth-level guardians outside the door, were forcibly transferred to the desert space!
All of this happened too fast and too suddenly!
One second the Third Elder was sitting at home, the next he was in the desert...
"What are you..."
The Third Elder stared wide-eyed and asked in surprise, but the Otsutsuki Shingetsu opposite him paid no attention. He quickly formed hand seals and fully activated the 'Ten Directions Void Sealing God Formation' that had been buried under the yellow sand.
"Who are you? What do you want?!"
Seeing that the enormous golden barrier sealed off the space and heaven and earth in all directions, the two guards stepped forward and questioned them sternly.
The next second, Otsutsuki Kami Tsuki transformed into the shape of flowing clouds, and at that moment, the mysterious woman removed her specially made veil, revealing her beautiful true face.
"You're not Shingetsu? And you...you...you're actually...Kaguya!!!" The Third Elder was horrified and couldn't help but exclaim.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for over a thousand years, the Third Elder still recognized Kaguya Otsutsuki. After all, there weren't many female members of the Otsutsuki clan with the strength of the Six Paths level, and the Third Elder, being a woman herself, was certainly able to recognize them all.
Moreover, Kaguya Otsutsuki's name is too famous. Her clan currently considers her a sinner who betrayed the clan and sided with humans. The ninja world that caused the Otsutsuki clan to suffer heavy losses is the planet jointly ruled by Isshiki and Kaguya!
Faced with the Third Elder's exclamation, Kaguya Otsutsuki remained cold and silent, while Ryuun had no desire to speak. The next second, he directly condensed the Susanoo-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and strode towards the other party.
"You're the human who ate the supreme divine fruit! You actually sneaked over here! And Kaguya, you traitor!" The Third Elder screamed in shock, his steps instinctively taking a step back.
Two loyal guards immediately shielded her behind them.
"Don't come any closer! Our clan leader is coming soon!" The female assistant realized that something was wrong and tried to scare away the two intruders by using the clan leader's name.
She never dreamed that in the safe territory of her tribe, a human would dare to impersonate one of their people and then brazenly come to their door to commit violence!
Moreover, this ability to teleport is so terrifying and so difficult to defend against that, before the four of them could even react, they were teleported to this godforsaken place where they could not call for help!
Liu Yun wasted no time and didn't say a word of nonsense. He disappeared in an instant and reappeared in front of the two guards in the same instant.
A minute later, all four were easily cut down by his sword, and Liu Yun even grabbed the heads of the Third Elder and the female assistant.
"The human way!"
With the Rinnegan activated, Ryuun forcibly invaded their minds and quickly examined their memories.
On his abdomen, a root of a divine tree suddenly broke through the seal and released four white spores in the next second.
The four White Zetsu spores landed on the Third Elder, the female assistant, and two guards respectively. The moment they landed, they began to absorb the chakra of the other party, and then gradually grew and transformed into the appearance of the other party!
The four White Zetsu completed their replacement task in no time, a sight that made Kaguya Otsutsuki chuckle hoarsely: "White Zetsu... truly a wondrous creature!"
As long as these White Zetsu don't give themselves away, neither Byakugan perception nor chakra perception can see through their true nature. Only if there is a member of the Otsutsuki clan who can sense good and evil could they possibly see through their true nature.
After obtaining the information he wanted, Liu Yun stretched out his palm and implanted some of the memories of the Third Elder of the Otsutsuki and the female assistant into the corresponding White Zetsu's mind, and then lifted the anti-air barrier a moment later.
"All done... Let's go!"
Liu Yun, along with Kaguya Otsutsuki and the four transformed White Zetsu, quietly returned to the original reception area.
"Go to the Tree of Creation and invite that young lady down from the tree..."
As soon as he arrived, Liu Yun gave orders to his female assistant, Otsutsuki Seigen.
After giving several earnest instructions, Otsutsuki Seigen decisively turned around and headed towards the Creation Tree. The two guards whose identities had been replaced reappeared at the door and continued their guard duties.
Ryuun transformed back into the form of Ōtsutsuki Kamizuki, and Ōtsutsuki Kaguya put her specially made veil back on.
"Someone, go and inform the Commander immediately to tell him to stop looking for anyone..."
