Yubi Di 'er explained the whole story: "Religious belief was born before the Chakra civilization, and it is deeply rooted. Although there are many ethnic groups and countries in this land, the religious power is always greater than the royal power. Under this suppression, there hasn't been a big war for thousands of years, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
Dragon Style pinched his small chin and muttered, "Even so, if my clan wants to fight, we can definitely take it down …"
"Yes, but to completely take down Kienju Province, at least two or three Chakra fruit users would be needed. As you can imagine, the battle will inevitably cause great destruction to this precious' seedbed '. That's something my clan doesn't want to see …"
At this point, Ubiji looked at Dragon Style and said thought-provokingly, "Disciple, if you stand in the interests of my clan and know that you can't take it by force, what would you do?"
"If it was me …" Long Shi thought about it seriously, and then said in a soft and gentle voice, "I might start from the ruler. Religious authority is the supreme individualism. If the supreme ruler is really incomparably wise, and I can't find a trace of criticism, then it's fine. But in reality, it's very, very difficult …"
Ubiji nodded, "Yes, the Pope of Kienju Province was indeed a wise ruler in the early days of his reign. But power is too concentrated, and he has lost his original heart. In a few hundred years, he will rot and change. At that time, large-scale wars will inevitably break out …"
Dragon Style thought again, "That's still a few hundred years away. There's a plan … that might work faster."
Ubiji was curious, "Oh? What plan? "
"Diverting the disaster …" Dragon Style explained, "Unless magic is used to forcibly control them, no matter how brilliant a ruler and charisma is, it's impossible to make such a large number of people submit from the bottom of their hearts. There must be opposition, but due to the great disparity in power, they don't dare to show it."
"If we can introduce some kind of external force to break the situation in a short period of time. Hmm … For example, we can release the Ten-tails on this land and hand it over to the opposition. This can intensify the internal conflicts, and when they're almost exhausted, we can wait to reap the benefits. "
At this point, Dragon Style looked innocently at Ubiji. "Isn't that right, sensei …"
Ubiji smiled and nodded. "You've never really dealt with humans. It's not easy for you to think of this …"
He didn't tell Dragon Style that his family had already started to execute such a scheme, and the one who came up with the idea of diverting the trouble was none other than Prince Tachima, the one who plotted to steal Dragon Style's eyes back then.
"We're taking a detour from Kienju Province, so we shouldn't stay here for too long. Let's go to our real destination …"
Whoosh! Yu Bidi waved his sleeve and opened the Yōzumi Birasaka.
The Divine Tree stood alone on the cold ground under the moonlight. Looking at its growth, it had a history of three to four hundred years.
Ubiji said, "This is the Yōzumi Country, the latest seedbed chosen by my family …"
Dragon Style said, "The Yōzumi Country … this Divine Tree, doesn't it have a guardian?"
Ubiji said, "There's no need for a guardian for the time being. The humans of the Yōzumi Country developed very late, and they still don't have the ability to use Chakra. In the next six to seven hundred years, it's impossible for any of them to set foot in this place. Of course, just to be on the safe side, before the fruit ripens, my family will definitely send down a guardian to retrieve the fruit …"
Dragon Style's eyes were downcast. "Then the humans of this land … will they die as the Divine Tree ripens?"
Ubiji muttered, "Maybe not … do you see the moon?"
Dragon Style and Sana raised their heads at the same time.
The moon was a strange source of Chakra born in Takamagahara … It was originally controlled by the Kakuye family, and only after the Kakuye family was wiped out did it become the exclusive property of the Otsutsuki family.
Why … did it appear in the land of the mortal world?
"Sensei, what's going on?"
"Sigh." With a complicated and heavy heart, Ubiji recounted a past event. "The one who planted the Divine Tree in this land was the Queen of the Dark Bamboo Country."
Dragon Style was shocked. "The mother of the third princess Kaguya!?"
"Yes." Ubiji continued, "The Queen of the Kakuye family was once the princess of the Kakuye family. The moon you see now is her masterpiece, and it's also the origin of the name 'Yōzumi Country'."
Dragon Style asked, "The Queen of the Dark Bamboo Country … why did she do this?"
Ubiji said, "The Queen of the Dark Bamboo pitied the humans of this land. She couldn't bear to see them lose their vitality because of this Divine Tree, so she didn't hesitate to disperse her original body and turned it into the moon to reduce the burden of this land."
"When she dispersed her original body, she was pregnant with the third princess. This also caused Kaguya to be born with a weak body. When Chuigen found out about this, he was furious and banished the Queen of the Dark Bamboo Country to the Cold Palace …"
Dragon Style pondered for a long time before he realized something. "The Kakuye family was very close to my family at first, even to the point of intermarriage. So how did they go extinct …"
"This …" Ubiji looked at Sana and hesitated.
"Jie Jie … why can't I say it?" Sana laughed strangely. "After the great battle, those bumpkins wanted to use the Infinite Tsukuyomi to control the humans, but the Kakuye family wasn't willing to cooperate. Because the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique requires the summoning of the moon. If the Kakuye didn't cooperate, it couldn't be used. In the end, the bumpkins decided to go all the way, so they kicked the Kakuye family while they were down. They also took the moon that they turned into after they died for themselves."
"There's such a thing …!?" Dragon Style was shocked.
"Jie Jie …" Sana laughed again. "By the way, let me tell you something. My father is the son of King Jinrou. My mother is also a member of the Kakuye family, but they're both dead …"
Dragon Style was shocked. "King Jinrou, then …"
King Jinrou, one of the ancestor gods, was Chuigen's younger brother, just like King Hannya. He was the second most powerful person in the Otsutsuki family!
In terms of bloodline, Sana was King Jinrou's granddaughter, and Chuigen's grandniece!
After knowing each other for so long, Dragon Style only knew that Sana had such a background!
Thinking back to the night when they first met … Sana's lonely back under the moonlight, Dragon Style seemed to have figured something out.
When she turned around, she seemed to be casually wiping her tears. Dragon Style thought that he was seeing things!
But maybe … that wasn't the case.
Dragon Style quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Sana … I shouldn't have asked this question."
"Jie Jie …" Sana laughed. "Don't flatter yourself. I don't need to be considerate. Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are up to the heavens. Being born in this boring family, dying early is also a form of relief."
Sana looked at Ubiji. "Speaking of which, aren't we here to look at the humans? Why are you bringing us to look at this stupid tree? "
"Ah …" Ubiji rubbed his nose and said gently, "Look at me, I forgot about the important matter. Let's go and look at the humans here …"
After taking a deep look at the cold and lonely moon, Sana turned around … and followed Ubiji.
