Being pointed at and threatened with death by so many people, Kaguya Otsutsuki was terrified and turned pale, but since her face was naturally very pale, it was almost impossible to tell.

Chapter 494, The System Joins the Fun Too

It has been countless years since Kaguya Otsutsuki last felt this sense of life and death being out of her control. Ever since she ate the fruit of the Divine Tree, she has never felt the true fear of death again. Even when she was sealed away by her own son, it was not true death!

Yi Shuihan said he could kill her, a point that Kaguya Otsutsuki couldn't refute at all. It was a natural energy even more terrifying than Sage Chakra, something she had already tried before.

Should she beg for mercy? Kaguya Otsutsuki felt she couldn't bring herself to say it, and she knew that even if she begged for mercy, it would probably be useless.

"Wow!"

Kaguya Otsutsuki suddenly trembled all over and spat out a mouthful of blood. Normally, it would be impossible for her body to bleed, since she could easily recover even if she was hit with several holes, just like a tailed beast.

Unfortunately, by severing the very source of her power and destroying several dimensions, Kaguya Otsutsuki's power has weakened to its lowest level since she ate the fruit of the Divine Tree.

Not only was she vomiting blood, but her body also began to spasm irregularly, making her look like she was having an epileptic seizure.

"What's wrong with her?"

"I've seen people pee their pants from fright, but this is the first time I've ever seen someone so scared that they vomit blood and have a seizure."

"No way! How could someone as powerful as her..."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, no one could understand it. After all, the ninjas present had all come from mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It was impossible for them to be completely unafraid of death, but they certainly wouldn't have such low mental fortitude that they were scared to the point of not even having made a move.

"You're all overthinking it. This is just an flare-up of the injuries she sustained during our previous fight."

Yi Shuihan offered a brief explanation, without going into detail, but it did alleviate some of the doubts in everyone's minds.

"Could she have just died like this?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki really looked like someone who was about to die, Tsunade couldn't help but ask.

"Don't underestimate her. Even though she looks weak and powerless now, she still retains about the same fighting strength as you."

Tsunade didn't want to believe Yi Shuihan's words. As a woman, she didn't want to lose too much to another woman in any aspect. However, she also knew that Yi Shuihan wouldn't lie to her at this time, so she could only remain silent.

"Don't worry, as long as you continue to cultivate according to my instructions, you will be able to surpass her in a short time."

Seeing through Tsunade's thoughts, Yi Shuihan offered words of comfort.

"Alright, since everyone insists on killing her, I'll have no choice but to reluctantly take action this time. After all, I'm the only one here capable of killing her. Sigh!"

The final sigh, however, left everyone with a strange sense of anger. So what if he was stronger, more handsome, had a prettier wife, and more money?

Putting aside the resentment others harbored towards Yi Shuihan, just as Yi Shuihan was about to kill Kaguya Otsutsuki, a voice suddenly rang out, interrupting him.

"Wait! Don't kill her yet!"

It was Naruto who spoke; he looked somewhat weak from losing the Nine-Tails.

"You're not thinking of using persuasion to change her ways, are you?"

For some reason, Yi Shuihan said this.

Naruto stared blankly at Yi Shuihan, finding it difficult to fully comprehend the meaning of those words given his limited intelligence.

"What kind of magic is 'talk-no-jutsu'? It's so powerful that it can make people turn over a new leaf."

He muttered to himself, giving the impression of being possessed.

"Ahem, Naruto, why don't you tell me why you made me wait!"

Feeling that Naruto might come to him for the training method of "Talk-no-Jutsu" if things continued, Yi Shuihan decided to divert his attention first.

"Um, if she dies, will the Nine-Tails die too?"

When Naruto mentioned the Nine-Tails, everyone realized that this woman was indeed the legendary Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, with all nine tailed beasts residing within her.

Since the First Hokage incident, the Nine-Tails has been a deterrent to Konoha, so it would be a real shame if it were to disappear.

"It's likely that from now on, there will probably be no more tailed beasts in the entire ninja world."

Yi Shuihan gave an affirmative answer. After all, the reason why Kaguya Otsutsuki was able to maintain her so-called immortality was entirely due to the power of the tailed beasts. To kill her, one would have to annihilate the chakra of all the tailed beasts.

Since their chakra was completely destroyed by spiritual energy, these tailed beasts naturally could not continue to survive.

To ensure Kaguya Otsutsuki's complete demise, the tailed beasts that provide her with energy must die first.

Extracting the nine tailed beasts and then killing Kaguya Otsutsuki is simply impossible. Even if the tailed beasts are separated, they still belong to the Ten-Tails, which is Kaguya Otsutsuki's energy source. Even if they are not together, as long as they still exist, Kaguya Otsutsuki can be resurrected again in the future.

"The nine tailed beasts are connected to her life. If you want to save the Nine-Tails, she cannot die completely. She may be resurrected in the future."

"It's regrettable, but for the sake of the entire ninja world, please kill her!"

Minato Namikaze stopped Naruto from saying anything more and made a request to Yi Shuihan.

Although the others didn't speak, they clearly felt the same way: the tailed beasts were gone, and it wasn't just Konoha that was missing; other villages were missing as well.

"Ding, mission generated. Please refrain from any action for the time being..."

Yi Shuihan was about to kill again when another unexpected event occurred.

System, you're making a scene too. How can you be so punctual?

To outsiders, Yi Shuihan simply froze there, his expression extremely strange.

"What happened?"

"Uh, no, I just suddenly remembered something." Telling the truth was out of the question since a mission was involved, so he gave a casual, perfunctory answer.

They looked at Yi Shuihan with curiosity, and the scene became somewhat awkward.

"Ding, the task has been generated. Please check it yourself."

A virtual panel appeared in front of Yi Shuihan that only he could see. He focused his gaze on the panel, which, in the eyes of others, looked like he was staring at a blank space in the air, which was very strange.

Chapter 495, Blind Date or Interrogation?

Task Name: The Big Reveal

Mission Description: Get Kaguya Otsutsuki to reveal her origins and the truth about the Divine Tree.

The task rewards 1000 cultivation points.

"

This task was arguably the one with the shortest description that Yi Shuihan had ever received, giving the impression that it was handled very perfunctorily.

The difficulty of the mission is self-evident. It can be simple in a few words, or it can be difficult depending on whether Kaguya Otsutsuki will cooperate.

As for the final mission reward, Yi Shuihan really wanted to complain about the system. Was this set up specifically to compensate for his previous losses?

You can't refuse a task, especially one that looks like a freebie.

Having accepted the task, Yi Shuihan was about to ask questions, but then he realized that his sudden action might seem odd to others and could trigger a series of subsequent events, so he swallowed the words he was about to say.

“Killing is too bloody, and children shouldn’t see it. I’ll take her to a secluded place and deal with her there.”

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, he grabbed Kaguya Otsutsuki's shoulder, and the two of them disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a bunch of confused people.

Who among those present hasn't witnessed murder, especially something so gruesome? Children shouldn't be allowed to see it. Even when lying, one should be more professional!

“He’s gone. Now let’s discuss how to deal with this situation. I didn’t expect to lose so many people. Now the village is a bit weak and not enough to deter those with ill intentions.”

Although Yi Shuihan has dealt with Kaguya Otsutsuki, the fact remains that Konoha lost so many Kage-level ninjas. Yi Shuihan has no say in this, so they are left to figure out what to do themselves.

Yi Shuihan led Kaguya Otsutsuki directly to a secret room in the hot spring resort.

Speaking of which, Yi Shuihan only came to this secret room a few times at the very beginning, and basically never came after that, because it was a secret room used for interrogation.

The secret room contained some torture instruments collected by Yi Shuihan, which were enough to make one's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

Upon entering the secret chamber, Yi Shuihan locked Kaguya Otsutsuki in a spread-eagle position, leaving her floating in the air with her feet off the ground.

"It seems like something's missing?"

Suddenly, Yi Shuihan caught a glimpse of a whip out of the corner of his eye, and realized that something was missing.

Holding a barbed iron whip, Yi Shuihan tried striking the ground twice, producing a piercing sound.

"From now on, I'll ask you questions and you answer them, or you'll be whipped."

With a cold expression, Yi Shuihan completely transformed into a prison guard approving prisoners.

"Would you like to try it out with your name?"

"..."

Looking into Kaguya Otsutsuki's bewildered eyes, Yi Shuihan felt an indescribable embarrassment.

"Could you cooperate a little? If I say your name, you answer 'Kaguya Otsutsuki,' which is your name. If I say your gender, you answer 'female.'"

Yi Shuihan's tone was helpless. It wasn't that he wanted to play like this; the system was messing with him!

Originally, Yi Shuihan asked a very simple question, but the system suddenly told her that she had to ask the questions in the order it indicated in order to complete the task.

The system presented the questions in the following order: "Name, Gender, Age, Height, Weight, Zodiac Sign, Bust/Waist/Hips,..."

There were over 100 random questions, most of which were irrelevant to the mission objectives.

Is this guy here for a blind date?

Yi Shuihan felt utterly helpless! The system was causing trouble! Unfortunately, even though he knew the system was up to something, there was nothing he could do. For those 1000 cultivation points, he had no choice but to go all out.

"Okay, let's start again. What's your name?"

Yi Shuihan looked at Kaguya Otsutsuki with encouraging eyes, making Kaguya feel extremely at a loss, wondering if Yi Shuihan had gone mad.

"Kaguya Otsutsuki."

For some reason, she tried to answer.

"Very good, that's it. Keep it up, and I promise you won't feel any pain when I kill you."

"You still want to kill me?"

"Of course, when did I ever say I wouldn't kill you?"

"Then I won't answer the question, just do it!"

Yi Shuihan was somewhat bewildered. Yes! To kill someone and still expect others to cooperate was simply asking too much of them.

“You know that death is not the most painful thing. There are some things you would rather die than face.”

Having no other choice, Yi Shuihan had to put on a stern face and threaten.

"For example, finding a few cows to be your men, or stripping you naked and parading you through the streets, or even having a drug that makes you feel a hundred times more pain than childbirth..."

As Yi Shuihan spoke, he kept an eye on Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression. Sure enough, when she heard what Yi Shuihan said, Kaguya Otsutsuki's eyes changed, and her gaze towards Yi Shuihan was filled with fear.

"Don't say anymore, I promise you."

When Yi Shuihan mentioned the ninth method, Kaguya Otsutsuki finally couldn't help but shout it out.

"Is that all? Okay, let's start over."

Yi Shuihan showed a satisfied expression, while Kaguya Otsutsuki looked humiliated, as if she had been violated. The whole scene looked extremely discordant and made people's imaginations run wild. If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely call Yi Shuihan a pervert or a beast. So he should be glad that only he and Kaguya Otsutsuki were present.

"Your name?"

"Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"What is your gender?"

After a moment of silence, Kaguya Otsutsuki almost gritted her teeth as she uttered the word "woman".

"age?"

"do not know!"

"How could you not know? You don't even know how old you are?"

"I don't know, that's all."

"..."

Suddenly realizing that Kaguya Otsutsuki had been sealed away for so many years before finally emerging, it was normal that no one knew how much time had passed. So Yi Shuihan didn't continue to ask her. Even if you looked up a history book, you probably wouldn't be able to find out the era in which Kaguya Otsutsuki lived!

"System, does her answer count for this question?"

"Yes, as long as her answer is true."

With the system's words, Yi Shuihan stopped dwelling on the issue and continued asking questions.

"Next, what's your height?"

1.83 meters tall
