Chapter 451: Giving Reality Check While Eating Hotpot

P4treon Link: /NineClouds69

--- Chapter 448 ---

After meeting Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, Yunlong brought them to a hotpot restaurant in Ice Flower City, ten miles from Kazahana Castle.

Hotpot is the country\'s specialty because the land of snow continues the winter season. Not only did it warm one\'s body, but it also gave people strength to be active in this freezing land.

Of course, that was a thing of the past. 

After Kazahana Koyuki took control over the Land of Snow as Daimyou, she made steam engine systems run 24/7 in the Land of Snow and gave people enough warmth. At the very least, they thrived here.

Yunlong and Kaguya sat beside each other while Sasuke and Naruto faced them on the opposite seat. 

They stared at the bubbling hotpot soup and silently waited for the spices to shimmer. 

Kaguya grabbed chopsticks and dipped a fresh veggie slice into the soup before bringing it to her mouth. She chewed on the veggie and blankly stared at Sasuke and Naruto, "Delicious..." 

"Try it." 

"Well, pardon me." Uzumaki Naruto also pulled his chopsticks. 

He slurped a noodle and said, "Oh, not bad, not bad." 

"..." Uchiha Sasuke glared at his golden-haired friend.

\'Why are you casual about this whole thing??\'

Yunlong chuckled, "Well, let\'s talk about something else first." 

"Sasuke, how are your parents?" 

Uchiha Sasuke sighed and answered, "They are doing fine." 

"After the war, they retired and became a farmer in the countryside." 

"Fugaku, A farmer?" Yunlong raised his brows. "That\'s unexpected." 

"My parents are tired of conflicts and have experienced firsthand how distressing it was. At first, my father is still doing his mission and becoming an advisor for Sixth Hokage."

"Then, the Moon\'s Incident happened." 

"He protected the village but suffered some internal injuries." 

"Woah, Toneri put numbers on you guys, huh?" Yunlong couldn\'t help but comment, making Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke stop.

"Sword God, you know Toneri?" 

"You know that guy?" 

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke stared at Yunlong with amazement.

Yunlong put shimmered beef slices into his mouth and chewed, "Yeah." 

"No, to be fair. We just met a few hours ago." 

"My wives are training him, his sister, and his mother." 

"At the moon?" Uzumaki Naruto was speechless. 

Yunlong laughed, "Where else could they train? You don\'t want the earth to get destroyed by accident, right?" 

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke froze on the spot. They couldn\'t imagine just how strong people Yunlong brought to the Shinobi World.

"Wait, wives?" Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Kaguya with a surprised look.

Kaguya felt Sasuke\'s gaze and replied, "Polygamy is common in another world. Yunlong has more than one wife and maids that could also be his wives." 

"Hmm. I think Madara has two wives in another world." 

"Madara-!" Uzumaki Naruto choked on his hotpot.

Cough! Cough!

Uchiha Sasuke tapped the Seventh Hokage\'s back and had his mouth twitching crazily.

To hell that Uchiha Madara actually married in another world!

He even has two wives!

TWO WIVES!

Yunlong was \'slightly\' amused by their reaction and decided to throw more oil into the fire, "Madara also has three children, two boys and one girl." 

"HE HAS KIDS??!" Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke stood up as they were shocked beyond belief.

Everyone in the restaurant stared at Naruto and Sasuke weirdly because they were shouting like madmen. Yet, none recognized the legendary Seventh Hokage and Thunder Deity.

After all, Yunlong had placed an illusion field around their seat, but it was funny to see their reaction.

"Haha, Sit down." Yunlong laughed at them. "Why are you guys so shocked?" 

"Madara is also a man. It\'s normal for him to build a new family, no?" 

"Also, Madara is coming with me, so don\'t make him mad later." 

"That tsundere fellow won\'t accept bad comments about his family."

"Y-You actually brought him here..." Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke don\'t know whether they should laugh or cry about this situation. 

Unlike Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Madara is the unredeemable villain in the eyes of Shinobi World\'s natives, as he wanted to control (make a peaceful world) the world through Infinite Tsukuyomi despite being tricked.

People literally feared Uchiha Madara\'s name. 

Heck! It was an indisputable fact Uchiha Madara had become the literal symbol of fear for many generations.

Calling him the Demon King wouldn\'t be an exaggeration.

Yunlong seemingly read Naruto and Sasuke\'s minds and shook his head at their ridiculous thought, "Don\'t worry. Madara is much tamer than years ago." 

"He has become my empire\'s general and even won me a fight against another empire." 

"This..." Uzumaki Naruto frowned. 

It\'s not that Naruto didn\'t believe Yunlong\'s words, but everything he said sounded like a fairy tale.

Even Sasuke thought the same.

Yunlong shrugged and continued, "Well, enough of Madara. Aren\'t you interested in why I came here after all these years?" 

"Please tell us your intention." Uzumaki Naruto stopped eating, and Uchiha Sasuke put on a solemn expression. 

Yunlong smiled, "I want the Shinobi World to be mine." 

"To be precise, I want the Shinobi World to be under the rule of the Bright Spirit Empire. You can fight me back on this because it could be an interesting battle, but I recommend you give up instantly."

"I\'m not looking down. Well, I do look down on you guys." 

"There is nothing you can do to stop my plan, so it\'s better to choose a side, right?" 

"Why?" Uzumaki Naruto asked in disbelief.

"Why? You see, Naruto, talent like you is \'unfortunately\' wasted in this low-dimensional world." Yunlong sighed while shaking his head.

"You might think the Otsutsuki Clan is powerful, but no."

"There are more powerful and terrifying beings out there that you can\'t comprehend. They ate your world like cereal and left nothing but crumbles in the passage of space and time." 

"I\'ve already watched a universe getting destroyed just because of two beings playing with fate and destiny." 

"Sasuke, you have gone through many of Kaguya\'s dimensions and witnessed the destruction of many planets." 

"Now imagine the scale of destruction, at least a thousand times larger than that." 

"Can you protect the Shinobi World from such a danger? Your family, wife, daughter, son, and friends are nothing but dust particles before those unnatural forces of destruction." 

"I\'m not saying this to scare you two off." Yunlong dipped a slice of meat into the hotpot soup. "I\'m saying this to wake you up."

He watched Uzumaki Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke fell into deep thought and decided to give them some show. He snapped his finger and created a memory bubble that recorded the destruction of Douluo Dalu-101.

"Here, you can watch the moment before the universe gets destroyed." 

Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke saw a bubble split in half and pop near their foreheads. They fell into a daze and witnessed overwhelming destruction at ten times speed replay.

Their complexion paled because the scale of destruction was just different!

Uzumaki Naruto closed his eyes and sighed, "Terrifying." 

"Too terrifying." 

"How could such a power exist in this world?" 

"Well, it was from another world," Yunlong said as a matter of fact.

"But trust me, a lingering power from upper dimensions watches over the Shinobi World. And it wasn\'t a friendly one." 

"Hagoromo couldn\'t help you this time." 

"Even the former Kaguya wouldn\'t have a chance to win against that guy, and you two struggled fighting her."

"Otsutsuki Shibai." Uchiha Sasuke uttered in all seriousness. 

"The head of the Otsutsuki Clan has ascended to godhood, according to the legend recorded in the Otsutsuki Ancestral Land. But I thought he died?" 

"So, his name is Otsutsuki Shibai?" Yunlong nodded in understanding.

"Dead? No, a Higher Dimensional Being wouldn\'t die easily, Sasuke."

"I\'m sure Otsutsuki Shibai is still alive."

"Hmph! That guy dared to mess with me in the past."

"I fought with his will before entering the Shinobi World and scare him off, but we could expect his god manifestation to descend sooner or later." 

"Who knows... The Otsutsuki Clan might have a secret technique to summon him down." 

"They probably have one," Kaguya said casually.

"Well, it doesn\'t matter... With Yunlong around, Otsutsuki Shibai couldn\'t do anything to the Shinobi World." 

"Even if the God of Otsutsuki Clan wanted to rewrite reality, he must ask for Yunlong\'s permission first." 

Yunlong scratched his cheek, "Stop, Kaguya. You\'re going to make me blush." 

"I\'m not that strong." 

\'Damn it! Who are you fooling here?!\' Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke have witnessed some of Yunlong\'s prowess from the memory bubble, so they knew how scary Yunlong was.

Yunlong\'s casual sword slash could tear space and time, literally.

Kaguya smiled at Yunlong and stated firmly, "Throughout Heaven and Earth, My Husband alone is the Heavenly Ruler!"
