The Otsutsuki Planet they next arrived at was used to station the military strength of the sect, not the patriarch. The patriarch had his own planet, the entirety of which was used as his home and other high ranking Otsutsuki.
"How will you fight all of them? There are at least a thousand of them living here." She asked him.
Shiroken thought about it for a while and came to one conclusion, "I will do what I've always done. Use nature. I will devour and absorb the entire planet and entrap them. If there are any kids, I will leave them."
"There won't be any kids, this is a place for fighters to live and train only. I was here too once, for a short period, however," said Kaguya.
"I will be back soon. If you see the planet getting destroyed, you'll know I did it." He flew towards the strange blue and green planet. It was not very big, about the size of the Earth's moon.
He straight away dived into the ocean and let his consciousness spread around. Due to his increased strength, he could see anything around him in a radius of 3000 kilometres. This was enough to cover this extremely small planet.
"Kaguya was correct, they do not have any children living here. All of them are fighting people, just training." He noticed how the planet was divided into 5 grades. Any new Otsutsuki coming here to train would first be placed in the 5th zone, this is the beginners level where they learn to fight. They slowly get better and go up to zone two. Zone one was just for the elites.
He focused on dealing with those at the fifth region, where the weakest Otsutsuki lived. He had no idea how weak the weakest were so it was a good opportunity for him. He attacked those sleeping and started absorbing them. They would not even know as their body would slowly cease to exist.
Each body took him 2 minutes. By this, he knew these aliens were weak. They also had the most numbers.
At most, on the entire planet, there were just 1000 Otsutsuki. In Zone 5, there were 500, and Shiroken indiscriminately killed all of them. Yes, some of them could be good ones, but he had no way of knowing, and their sacrifice was going to save their species.
Slowly, without anyone knowing, Shiroken emptied the planet. Their social structure came to his own use, as people from different zones rarely met each other.
After just a day, only Zone 1 was left, 5 of the strongest were supposed to be living here. By now, Shiroken had understood that these ones were not that strong. He didn't even hide and appeared in front of the five.
They were cocky and ready to fight. But sad for them, Shiroken first beat them to a pulp and then absorbed their life energy.
...
"Let's go to the next one, Kaguya." Shiroken went back to her after being done with this planet. It was now empty and good for use later. Maybe he will colonise the universe someday in the future. Just peacefully though.
...
Earth, 3 months later,
Shiroken's campaign continued, he went from one planet to another while avoiding the Patriarch's planet. Since he was in space, he had no idea how much time had passed.
Life however was ordinary on the Earth. Most people didn't even know that Shiroken was gone, and his clones were still present. Since these clones were made from wood-style, they were their own units and took power from nature. Hence, they were not always connected to Shiroken or needed to stay connected.
"I wonder what he's doing right now." Saiken wondered, sitting on his farm.
"Kicking some Otsutsuki butts, that's what he's doing," Chomei added.
"I hope he's safe," Tsunade worried. The three had a habit of sitting together and talking about Shiroken.
*Sigh* "Guys, I'm off now, I need to make rounds around the world and make sure everything is right. Who knows which bad human decides to start something." Chomei flew off quickly.
...
Jin was really busy now, his responsibilities had moved from just the country to the world. He had to read so many reports every single day that he now needed glasses.
"I hate my job," He cried.
"You've been saying that for decades now and yet come to work every single day." Monari entered his office with a smile.
"I haven't been able to find a replacement, Monari. The day I do, I will leave this office and spend all my time with you." He dreamily planned, something he's been doing for years.
"Oh, we got Shirajin, we can teach him and groom him." She suggested.
"NO! I WILL NOT! I want to be like Uncle Shiro and travel to space." Shirajin protested quickly as he came in from the window.
"What were you doing? My office is on the 20th floor of the castle." Jin asked him with suspecting eyes.
"I was... bird watching." He replied, averting his gaze.
"AAAA..." Monari pulled his cheeks, "You brat, tell me what you were doing?"
"I wanted to get some money from dad, but you came." He confessed. Well, it was true, Jin was much more easygoing than Monari.
"What do you want money for? I give you your pocket money." She asked him.
He looked depressed, "You only give me ten thousand Ryo(100$), that's nothing in today's age."
"You're only 6, why do you need more money?" Monari angrily questioned him.
"I... I just wanted to buy a gift for Uncle Shiro for when he returns. I want to tell him to give me a little cousin to play with quickly." He said.
Monari's face all of a sudden changed and she walked to him, patting his head cutely, she handed him a stack of bills, "Here, 100,000 Ryo, get the best gift you want."
Shirajin happily took the money and ran away quickly, back to his school. As soon as he arrived among his friends he announced loudly, "LET'S PARTYYYY..."
~Hehe, mom, you're too easy to manipulate.~ He felt proud after fooling her.
"Hmmm... so this is your gift?"
Horror stuck, he looked back, only to find Monari, angrily glaring at him and cracking her knuckles. "Ah... mom... I was doing this party with the leftover money,"
*BAM* "You think I'm a fool?"
...
5 Months Later,
"Is he even alive?" Gyuki wondered.
"He is, or else his clones would have disappeared, he's probably too busy whooping some Otsutsukis asses. Sadly, we can't talk to him at this distance." Kurama muttered.
"But you can drink my latest creation, Shiro flavour milkshake. It basically tastes like dumplings." Saiken cheerfully showcased a crate of bottles.
"Ewww... who would drink that?" Chomei acted like he would vomit, although he had no mouth.
"Dumpling is the national dish of the Dama country, people will love it, I'm telling you." Saiken persisted.
*WOOSH*
"Saints, we need your help, some fool in Kirigakure has started an uprising. They say they want their country and culture back." A member of the Nidama clan informed them quickly.
Son Goku scoffed, "Kirigakure? What was even their culture? Killing children? Fools, I don't even feel anything stomping on these bastards."
*Sigh* "This has been the 5th revolt in a year, why can't they just live happily?" Shukaku frustratedly sighed.
"That's humans for you. Let's go and kill them." Kurama got up to leave. They had promised Shiro that they would keep the world safe in his absence and they would do it no matter what.
...
On an Unknown Planet,
"Great Patriarch, he's coming towards here, one by one he's killing everyone on our military planets and he seems to be headed inwards. He will be here sooner rather than later." A man spoke while kneeling.
"Who is he? Did you find out?" The Patriarch asked.
"We don't know, Patriarch, the man seems to be related to the Otsutsuki, while the woman accompanying him is guaranteed to be one. We have no information about their motives or identities." The man informed.
The Patriarch stood up, "Hmm... interesting, is it some other Patriarch wanting to kill me?"
"But... even they should not be able to kill an entire force on a planet." The man said.
This earned a frown from the Patriarch, "Interesting, prepare the entire sect, tell all of them to be ready for war. I will see who these two are."
Of course, for a man who lived his entire life as a supreme overlord, understanding that there is someone strong enough to hurt him was hard. And this was going to be his biggest mistake.
Shiroken, in his overly anxious and paranoid state, had gotten so strong that even a patriarch was nothing for him now. But he didn't know this and continued to grow stronger. Kaguya had no idea either so she just guided him around.
[A/N: Lol, Shiroken became OP and he doesn't even know it. Also, just 7 chapters remain until the end.]
