"You're right," Kaguya whispered, her face pale as paper, fear and confusion in her eyes. "We have never seen His body." She trembled, her voice filled with helpless despair. "What should I do? If this will is truly... His, could we be devoured at any moment?" She didn't want to die, especially now that she had a real family. But she knew the Ōtsutsuki God's power. He was the supreme god who had created their entire clan. Just the thought of his name brought a sense of irresistible oppression. Her own power seemed so insignificant before a god.
Kagami looked at her frightened expression and gently took her cold fingers. "Don't be afraid," he said, his voice low and firm. "I will find a way. As long as I am here, no one can hurt you, not even the Ōtsutsuki God."
Kaguya looked up into his determined eyes, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated. In her mind, memories of her time with Kagami flashed like bright stars, giving her strength and courage. "I believe you," she nodded, snuggling into his chest.
Kagami hugged her tightly, a cold light in the depths of his eyes. No matter how powerful this Ōtsutsuki God was, he would not allow his family to be harmed. This will hidden in chakra was undoubtedly part of a huge conspiracy. Kagami would not let it go.
*'The materials for the infinite energy device are almost collected,'* he thought. *'It should be completed in a week at most. Then, I can use the Brain-Brain Fruit and Mahoraga's analysis to create a method to eliminate this will from chakra.'* He had discovered that the will's strength depended on the chakra owner's own reserves. As long as he could create a practice method that strengthened the soul and slowly wore away the will, it could be eliminated. With the knowledge from the Aizen template, it shouldn't be difficult.
For himself, it was even simpler. With his current soul power, he could directly and forcefully erase the will from his own chakra. But he didn't want to alert the enemy. He would wait until Mahoraga had finished its analysis. For now, he wouldn't tell anyone about this except Kaguya, to avoid causing a panic.
A week later, Kagami was in the Hokage Building, listening to Shikaku Nara's report. Rebel forces, composed of civilians wanting to overthrow the nobles, had appeared throughout the ninja world. The daimyos and nobles had sent troops to suppress them, but they underestimated the civilians' determination. After a year of intense oppression and the covert influence of Konoha's forces, these rebels had a firm belief and an unyielding will. The armies of the various countries were now scattered, and the nobles were too busy to pay attention to Konoha.
Kagami smiled. The situation was even better than he had expected. "Shikaku," he said, "give the order. Have the Anbu open our warehouses and distribute food everywhere under the pretext of saving civilians. And make sure everyone in the ninja world knows what Konoha is doing." His purpose was simple: attract more civilians to Konoha. With enough population and resources, he could quickly expand his manpower and make the final preparations for unifying the ninja world. Once those who had suffered enough saw the wonderful life of Konoha's common people, they would naturally ask him to lead them.
"Yes, sir," Shikaku responded respectfully. Though he had some doubts, he knew Kagami's wisdom and foresight were unmatched.
After Shikaku left, Kagami was about to return to the palace when he suddenly received a memory from his clone. After unremitting research, the infinite energy device was finally complete.
