--- Chapter 449 ---
Yunlong and Kaguya are enjoying their meal.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Sasuke have a grim look on their faces. The reality check Yunlong gives them is like a bucket of ice-cold water thrown over their heads.
Even though Naruto and Sasuke are confident in their prowess, they must admit they couldn't handle the thing Yunlong showcased through the memory bubbles.
Not to mention, knowing the Otsutsuki Clan has a powerhouse with nearly or on par strength to the otherworldly monster caused Naruto and Sasuke to feel worse.
Above all else, the Otsutsuki Clan would invade the Shinobi World soon.
These unsettling facts made Naruto and Sasuke's guts churn in worry.
Yunlong pointed his chopsticks at them, "Come on. Don't put such a face on while eating."
"Take it easy. You're making the hotpot taste sour."
"Eat, we can still salvage the situation in the Shinobi World. I've prepared enough to catch the Otsutsuki off guard."
"Are you really?" Sasuke questioned in all seriousness.
Yunlong smiled, "I won't bother lying to you guys. After this, I will show you one of my cards."
"For now, eat."
"You too, Naruto."
"Okay..." Naruto doesn't sound as energetic as he used to anymore.
They ordered more meat and vegetables because there was still so much soup left, enjoying it with a cold snowstorm outside. Unknown to Naruto and Sasuke, Yunlong has scanned their bodies and Chakra.
'Indra and Asura Chakra are still present in their bodies, but they have developed into Six Paths Chakra, albeit in their unique way.' Yunlong thought calmly.
'What do you think, Kaguya?'
Kaguya chewed a shredded cabbage and answered indifferently, 'They are doing better than I anticipated. Indra's reincarnation has mastered the Six Path, especially Yin Chakra, to the extreme, incorporating it with lightning release to create a more destructive yet controllable element transformation.'
'No, to be exact... Indra's reincarnation utilized Yin Chakra to influence his chakra pathways, generating more heat and bioelectricity. Although he won't be as strong as Asura's reincarnation in terms of physique, the standard he reached is praiseworthy.'
'We don't need to say much about his mental prowess. He has a Rinnegan and Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.'
'On the other hand, Asura's reincarnation didn't overcomplicate his Six Path Chakra. He has potent Yang Chakra and kept feeding it into his Sage Physique. Well, his control and reserve over Nature Chakra is much better than Indra's Reincarnation.'
'He also still has the Nine-Tails, an extra battery that puts him a little higher than Indra's reincarnation.'
'Asura's reincarnation is close to becoming Demi-God physically, but didn't know how to reach it.'
'After all, Hagoromo and Hamura simply inherited it from my Otsutsuki's genes, but as many generations passed, the genes mutated, strained, and simply diverged, and all left is Lingering Reincarnation Chakra that acts slowly on physique development.'
'Overall, they are stronger than the time we fought. However, they are not strong enough to fend off the Otsutsuki's Invasion. Unless you're going to help them with the Spirit Awakening.'
Yunlong smiled inwardly, 'We will see about that after the meal.'
After the meal, Yunlong paid the bills with a pure gold bar and told the restaurant owner to keep the change.
Naruto and Sasuke thought it was too much but couldn't understand the mindset of the cultivator yet.
"Yes, the 69 humans you saw here aren't 'true' humans essentially."
"They were originally oceanic beasts that I grabbed randomly, genetically modified into becoming Spirit Beast, and then I was granted wisdom and the ability to become a human."
"Of course, they are not ordinary humans. Spirit Beasts are creatures from my world. They could become stronger by aging or transform into humans by cultivating a human's path."
"I don't have a term for their kind yet, but we have decided to call them..."
"Celestial Butchers." Kaguya finished Yunlong's words. "They are one of the cards we could use to give the Otsutsuki Clan an existential crisis."
"I can't wait to see their pale faces become even paler when they realize they got defeated by jellyfish and other sea creatures."
"..." Naruto.
"..." Sasuke.
'Wait, there is a dangerous presence ahead!'
Naruto was alarmed by his partner, Kurama, and quickly looked up.
Sasuke also sensed overbearing mental power and froze on the spot.
Gu Yuena walked out from the barrier in her dragon scale kimono, wiping her silver hair with a dry towel.
She indifferently glanced at Naruto and Sasuke and gave them a mental breakdown because the literal amount of mental power and natural energy she had in her body was nearly infinite.
Unlike Yunlong, who pressured his energy to the lowest setting, making himself feel like a mortal, Gu Yuena didn't bother to.
Naruto once felt Ten Tails' Nature Chakra.
And it was a whole other dimension apart from anything he ever sensed.
On the other hand, Gu Yuena topped that by making Naruto and even Sasuke feel like sensing a literal silver galaxy.
No, she might be a universe herself!
'Good god, this woman could destroy the earth by simply existing.' Naruto swallowed his saliva nervously.
Meanwhile, Sasuke is racking his brain to find a way out of this place.
Yunlong gave Gu Yuena a helpless expression, "Okay, stop scaring the kids. You're an adult, Yuena. Have some restraint over yourself."
Gu Yuena pouted, "Well..."
"My husband's word is nothing to be trifled with."
"Husband?" Naruto and Sasuke's eyes widened in shock.
Yunlong coughed, "She's one of my wives I mentioned earlier. Her name is Gu Yuena, also known as the Silver Dragon King-! I mean, Silver Dragon Goddess."
"Nice to meet you three, especially you foxy." Gu Yuena sealed her energy, and greeted them with a smile.
Naruto and Sasuke could only nod before the presence of the Silver Dragon Goddess.
Meanwhile...
'Fuck! I thought Sword God was scary enough. My whole body trembled because of this woman. Scary, she is scary...' Kurama, the Nine-Tails, felt his animal instinct went wild for the first time.
Kurama is cowering in fear, while wrapping his foxy head with his nine tails.
