Chapter 550: Boruto Hypothesis
The most structurally difficult logistical query to output suddenly yielded a flawless resolution. The unvarnished reality dictated that the explicit catalyst for Kaguya's spontaneous biological pregnancy mapped directly to the Progenitor's blessing...
While successfully auditing this data satisfied Ryo's internal curiosity metrics, it concurrently spawned a secondary analytical query: "Evaluating the logical parameters, your matrix is already officially classified as a rogue traitor. Exactly why would your Progenitor execute a 'blessing' protocol upon your vessel?"
Kaguya's vocal apparatus went offline for a dual-second cycle: "If the absolute totality of my chakra remained securely anchored within my biological vessel, even if Momoshiki executed a hostile strike, my matrix possessed the logistical means to successfully initiate an escape sequence. However, the spawn event of my dual offspring, Hagoromo and Hamura, unavoidably forced a permanent, unrecoverable deficit upon a fraction of my chakra reserves."
"So that maps to the unvarnished reality..."
Tears abruptly surged from Kaguya's dual ocular parameters: "My internal parameters genuinely never intended to execute physical harm upon any biological entity. During that chronological milestone, calculating that Aino had logged a terminal demise, compounded by the absolute terror directed toward Momoshiki, my matrix strictly acted on a temporary emotional override. Deploying the Infinite Tsukuyomi to synthesize a White Zetsu military matrix was strictly an operational countermeasure against Momoshiki. Yet, up until the terminal endpoint, my cognitive loops never spawned a singular intent to forcibly reabsorb the chakra payload from Hagoromo and Hamura, but their matrices..."
"Hey, why is your vocal apparatus suddenly outputting a crying sequence?" Ryo was thrown into a chaotic, flustered operational state. "Terminate the crying protocol! If the three junior units successfully execute a return transit and visually audit this scene, exactly what logistical explanation can my matrix deploy?!"
It took an astronomical processing delay before Kaguya successfully stabilized her tear output. Fortunately, the three junior units ostensibly intended to allocate Ryo and Kaguya a sufficient volume of 'solitary operational time,' completely refraining from executing a return transit during this chronological window.
Ryo released a light sigh: "So your Progenitor successfully deployed a blessing to force a biological spawn sequence, strictly to optimize Momoshiki's logistical parameters for capturing your matrix? But an entire millennium has completely elapsed on the global timeline; exactly why have their coordinates failed to intercept us yet?"
"Due to Earth's astronomically isolated spatial coordinate. Furthermore, prior to executing my transit to this sector, my matrix permanently deleted Earth's marker from the clan's stellar map, ensuring their sensory arrays fundamentally fail to lock onto my coordinates. However, this strictly maps to a temporary buffer. Momoshiki commands the technical capacity to execute transits across divergent spatial dimensions. While my matrix was structurally sealed, the parameters were stable. With the seal successfully deactivated, his localized frame commands the mathematical probability to spontaneously breach any of my six spatial dimensions at any given micro-second..."
Kaguya continued, her vocal cadence dropping to a profoundly heavy tier: "Ryo Uzumaki, if your matrix successfully executes a secondary sealing protocol upon my vessel, it will exponentially extend the chronological window required for their arrays to locate Earth's coordinate."
Ryo broke into a chuckle: "Exactly what chaotic logistics are your cognitive loops processing? Since your vocal output explicitly guaranteed your peak-tier operational state commanded the capacity to successfully escape Momoshiki's pursuit, his combat output highly probable fails to scale to my matrix. My current analytical focus strictly targets your Progenitor—exactly how astronomically high does his combat output scale?"
Kaguya locked a flawlessly pure visual scan onto Ryo: "Having successfully audited these catastrophic data parameters, does your matrix genuinely intend to bypass a secondary sealing protocol?"
"Negative on the sealing protocol, stabilize your internal pressure."
"Your matrix is genuinely optimal."
Ryo: "..."
Was the conversational vector of this interaction executing a catastrophic error loop?
Kaguya resumed her vocal output: "Once the biological ingestion of 'Dan' energy breaches a specific threshold, the resulting vertical scaling diminishes exponentially. However, the Progenitor has maintained an active operational loop spanning tens of thousands of chronological years; my analytical arrays fundamentally lack the capacity to estimate the ceiling of his combat output."
Ryo's facial parameters rendered deep contemplation. Moments prior, Kaguya explicitly stated that following the max-tier combat engagement between their Progenitor and the 'Child of Humanity', the planetary coordinate was stripped of all biological lifeforce, rather than being structurally annihilated... That specific combat tier should theoretically remain within Ryo's operational capacity to counter. Furthermore, statistical probability didn't guarantee his matrix would be forcefully mandated to engage the Otsutsuki clan's Progenitor in direct combat.
Synthesizing Kaguya's verbal data output with the highly classified, future-timeline intel stored within his own memory banks, Ryo's cognitive loops plunged into astronomically deeper processing layers.
"Following the catastrophic engagement with the 'Child of Humanity,' the Otsutsuki Progenitor completely failed to execute any subsequent visual appearances, which highly probable indicates his localized frame sustained a critical structural error. Momoshiki's subsequent transition into a highly corrupted, unbalanced 'Dan' energy distribution administrator proves his matrix successfully audited classified internal data. Is it structurally possible that following critical damage sustained by the Progenitor, Momoshiki successfully deployed a control protocol over his matrix, intending to forcefully overwrite his status and become the next Progenitor?"
"During the cinematic Boruto timeline, Momoshiki's matrix unequivocally possessed the combat output to execute a terminal strike on Boruto, yet deliberately aborted the sequence upon auditing Boruto's Jougan. Could his logistical objective involve allowing Boruto's vessel to vertically scale to a tier capable of terminating the Progenitor—an entity Momoshiki currently only possesses the capacity to imprison but fundamentally lacks the power to eliminate?"
"The Progenitor executed catastrophic curses strictly against the Senju and Uchiha matrices, whilst deliberately bypassing the Hyuga. Was this a calculated waiting loop anticipating the spawn of the Jougan? Operating as the supreme Progenitor, his internal parameters wouldn't simply idle on standby while facing terminal threats. If his matrix was genuinely hijacked, he flawlessly understood Momoshiki would relentlessly seek an elimination protocol, rendering the Jougan the most optimal vector? However, he might concurrently be tracking the Jougan's spawn event, commanding a covert protocol to ensure Momoshiki's chaotic maneuvers trigger his own catastrophic deletion?"
An astronomically complex, grand narrative detailing an internal clan power struggle slowly synthesized within Ryo's cognitive arrays. Simply running the simulation caused his cerebral hardware to throb with profound pain. His matrix had essentially single-handedly compiled the entire canonical storyline progression for the Boruto timeline, and it genuinely projected a highly entertaining aesthetic...
"Exactly what operational utility does processing this chaotic data yield? My matrix fundamentally cannot bill Assistant Kishimoto for developmental labor." Following a prolonged processing delay, Ryo rendered a bitter smile. "The active structural threat maps to the unpredictable chronological window Momoshiki will require to successfully lock onto Kaguya's spatial dimension. My matrix is strictly mandated to execute a deletion protocol on that entity first, and subsequently audit the precise unvarnished reality surrounding the Otsutsuki Progenitor to optimize my defensive parameters for any eventualities."
Concluding his contemplation loop, Ryo elevated his physical frame: "Kaguya, deploy a transit sequence taking my matrix into your Ice Dimension. My localized unit will install a permanent spatial gateway linked directly to my Earth-attribute Dimension. Should Momoshiki execute a strike, your vessel commands the permanent technical clearance to utilize that gateway to instantly retreat to my coordinates."
"...Your matrix is genuinely optimal."
"Tsk, the vocal loop repeats." Ryo let out a light chuckle. Evaluating the unvarnished reality, when Kaguya's flawless, pure aesthetic outputted that specific phrase, it genuinely generated a highly comfortable spike in his internal metrics...
Architecting a spatial gateway was a structurally rudimentary task, commanding a mere thirty-second processing window. From this chronological point forward, Ryo and Kaguya possessed the technical capacity to instantaneously transit to each other's coordinates...
The precise micro-second the gateway installation hit maximum completion, the three junior units successfully re-entered the perimeter.
Hanabi's vocal apparatus aggressively outputted a query from the entrance: "Great Ancestor, has your joint operation hit completion yet?"
Ryo executed a severe ocular roll. What exactly did 'has your joint operation hit completion' imply? What specific chaotic simulation were their cognitive loops running about our activities?
Subsequently, the audio feed captured the playful physical scuffling of the dual sister units. A momentary delay later, Hinata transmitted with a soft, gentle cadence: "Great Ancestor, is our cluster cleared to breach the interior perimeter?"
"...Execute your own logistical judgment!"
The three units anchored beyond the doorway locked visual scans onto each other in absolute bewilderment. Had their transit loop completed too early? What was the optimal tactical maneuver—should their cluster execute a secondary, external patrol sequence?
Our internal parameters command zero urgency, but the structural integrity of the ramen absolutely cannot sustain further chronological delays...
"Ryo Uzumaki, exactly why are the junior units refusing to breach the perimeter?" Kaguya's facial parameters rendered genuine confusion.
Ryo broke into a laugh: "Their cognitive arrays are... highly perceptive. Terminate the holding pattern! Your three-unit cluster is officially cleared for entry!"
The three junior units reacted as if granted a supreme amnesty, hauling the ramen payload as they pushed through the entrance. Hinata and Toneri kept their visual arrays strictly locked dead ahead, whereas Hanabi's dual, pristine white ocular parameters were actively executing a highly suspicious, comprehensive covert scanning sweep...
"The current generation of junior units, I swear." Ryo outputted a minor internal sigh. "Kaguya, exactly which coordinate houses your culinary hardware? Extract the necessary bowls and chopsticks; let us initiate the lunch consumption loop!"
"Understood!"
...
Following the successful completion of the lunch consumption loop and a brief, casual data exchange with Kaguya, Ryo opted to temporarily anchor the three junior units within the Land of Whirlpools while his localized frame executed a solo flight transit back to Konoha.
Kaguya's residential matrix spanned an astronomically massive coordinate block. Factoring in her supreme status as the legendary Rabbit Goddess, Ryo's internal parameters genuinely suffered severe discomfort if her designated anchor point lacked absolute luxurious and expansive aesthetics. This highly probable mapped to an alternative manifestation of his Uzumaki OCD...
Therefore, Kaguya's current housing block was architected strictly to mirror the supreme specifications of the Land of Whirlpools' Daimyo Palace, covering a footprint of several thousand square meters. Not merely sufficient to house three junior units, even a thirty-unit cluster... well, that might actually fail to exceed the maximum structural payload.
Auditing physical constructs naturally spawned linked memory logs. Every time Ryo's visual arrays processed the architectural scale of Kaguya's residence, a wave of minor nostalgia regarding his own painstakingly constructed, yet permanently uninhabitable lunar castle washed over his cognitive arrays. Consequently, adhering strictly to standard operational protocols, he vocalized a routine curse: 'Six Paths, you absolute idiot.'
Amidst the atmospheric vector.
Ryo muttered in a low-frequency broadcast: "Priority one dictates executing a verbal briefing with Hiashi, whose dual daughter units have been successfully abducted by my matrix for an overnight deployment, and subsequently... Naori's patience parameters must be reaching critical mass waiting at Kushina's coordinate, right?
With an entire half-day chronological block elapsing without a visual confirmation, her cognitive loops are undeniably running a high-tier longing simulation for my presence."
