Naruto: I Can Take People Through the Ninja World in the Future-Chapter 497: Post-Battle Handling on the Moon

Leaving Kaguya inside his personal dimensional space not only reduced her influence on the ninja world but also made it easier for Lux to use her at any time.

Furthermore, Lux also wanted to test whether his dimensional space had transcended parallel worlds.

Meaning: Could Kaguya or any other living being be brought to another parallel world through his dimensional space?

If so, it meant he could slightly circumvent the system's limitations, bringing a large number of people to another world at once.

Of course, whether it would succeed or not had to be tested first.

After temporarily pacifying Kaguya, Lux left his dimensional space and returned to the moon in Parallel World 4.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

On the moon, after Lux took Kaguya away, everyone could finally breathe a sigh of relief after being freed from their instinctive fear.

Seeing Lux handle such a powerful enemy alone, Minato felt a little worried, but he still had great faith in Lux.

And he knew what needed to be done now; he immediately took command of the ninja alliance forces, leading the mop-up operations against the remaining Otsutsuki clan warriors and members on the moon...

Without Aoto, without Kaguya, the remaining Otsutsuki members on the moon were no longer a significant threat.

Moreover, the ninja world still had many Edo Tensei Kage from the afterlife. Defeating and capturing all the moon Otsutsuki was only a matter of time.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

In less than ten minutes, the enemy's main force, the Red Hawk Squad, had been defeated by Minato and the others. Most of the moon Otsutsuki warriors were successfully captured.

Minato handed over the subsequent cleanup tasks to Fugaku, while he himself returned to the main island that had fallen onto the moon's surface.

"Fourth Hokage, what are your plans for handling them?"

Edo Tensei Tobirama asked directly, pointing to the hundreds of moon Otsutsuki members bound by Hashirama's Wood Release.

They were the elites and backbone of the moon Otsutsuki, at least equivalent to Elite Jonin, and some even possessed Kage-level power. If not handled properly, they could become a major problem.

"Bring them back to the village first. I haven't thought about how to accommodate them yet..."

Minato frowned, also perplexed about the handling of these moon Otsutsuki.

Although killing them all was the safest solution, neither he nor Edo Tensei Hashirama were bloodthirsty people. Otherwise, Hashirama wouldn't have used Wood Release to capture them alive.

Suddenly, Orochimaru, looking somewhat disheveled, leaped forward:

"Leave it to me! I'll handle them; I guarantee they'll be well taken care of!"

"Orochimaru, you..."

Minato hesitated. If Orochimaru handled them, would their fate be worse than death?

"Relax. They will only be asked to participate in some research; I won't kill them all. Besides, I can ask some Edo Tensei Kage to supervise them. This is definitely the safest option."

Orochimaru licked his lips, giving his assurance with full confidence.

He wasn't a monster. Just look, most of the experimental subjects in Otogakure were still alive and even making rapid progress.

Except for the Wood Release experiments back then that had a high mortality rate—that was Danzo's led experiment. He was the one who didn't consider those babies human; why should he be blamed?

"Alright... agreed."

Minato nodded. Entrusting the moon Otsutsuki prisoners to Orochimaru, who had sufficient strength and was supported by the immortal Kage, was indeed the best option at the moment.

After all, they were the enemy. It didn't matter if they suffered a little. As long as he kept an eye on him, Orochimaru shouldn't go overboard...

"Good, trust me."

Orochimaru looked at the moon Otsutsuki prisoners with sparkling eyes, extremely excited.

Although losing the great Tenseigan was a great pity, obtaining so many moon Otsutsuki experimental materials was still a satisfying result.

In fact, Orochimaru was already imagining how to crossbreed the moon Otsutsuki with the Hyuga clan.

Who knows, it might produce some Tenseigan!

"By the way, where's the other Orochimaru?"

"His time ran out, probably already returned to his world."

"Oh!"

Minato nodded, understanding that the Orochimaru from Parallel World 3 must have been returned to his own time.

"Where is Sir? Was that woman really the Goddess Kaguya from the legends? Did Sir take her away?"

Orochimaru asked Minato. He was halfway flying over earlier when Lux suddenly disappeared with Kaguya and didn't know what actually happened.

"Yes. Sir said he would handle that goddess."

"Hmm... that's the ancestor of chakra, a goddess above gods, her status is even higher than the Sage of Six Paths, right? The battle between them must have been epic! It's a pity I couldn't see it firsthand. Minato, who do you think won? What if—"

Orochimaru, who loved excitement, felt very regretful for not being able to witness the battle of two gods.

But he still had self-awareness. If not for Lux's intervention and letting that Goddess Kaguya run rampant, perhaps everyone here wouldn't have survived!

Oh... except for Minato himself.

"Orochimaru, don't underestimate Sir carelessly..."

Minato frowned in warning, but before he could finish speaking—

*WHOOSH!*

Someone suddenly appeared and patted Orochimaru's shoulder.

"Why? Don't trust me?"

Lux's sudden voice startled Orochimaru. But he quickly recovered because he was already immune.

He excitedly asked instead: "Sir! You're back?"

"Yes."

"What about Goddess Kaguya?"

"Temporarily sealed, you don't need to worry about her threat anymore."

Lux waved his hand, answering casually.

Although he didn't actually seal Kaguya, subduing her was also a form of sealing. As long as Kaguya didn't threaten the peace and unity of Parallel World 4, that was enough.

"Hisss!"

Everyone simultaneously took a deep breath, their hearts filled with shock.

They couldn't imagine that Lux had actually managed to defeat that ancestor of chakra?

How strong was Kaguya? They didn't know for sure, but the pressure of her aura earlier made everyone feel profound fear.

Such a god must be extremely powerful, beyond imagination! freewebnσvel.cøm

But she still lost to Lux?

And this quickly?

Incredible!

They didn't know what actually happened inside Lux's dimensional space. But now, with Lux's reappearance and Kaguya's disappearance, the result was clear.

"Thank you, Sir!"

Minato thanked him again, sincerely.

Without Lux's help, in this battle, the ninja world and Konoha might have been completely defeated.

Lux's service could not be repaid in a lifetime!

"That's enough. How's your situation, Minato? How much longer will it take?"

Lux waved his hand, signaling no need for formalities, then asked about Minato's progress.

"The enemy's main force has been completely defeated, and the cleanup process is underway... The entire completion estimate might take more than three days..."

Although the moon Otsutsuki's main forces had been defeated, there were still many ordinary members hiding throughout this vast moon simulation space.

It would take the allied forces time to clear them out one by one.

In addition, they still had to collect and transfer the various technologies, knowledge, artifacts, and prisoners left behind by the moon Otsutsuki clan.

All of this couldn't be completed in a day or two. It would take at least a few more days.

Fortunately, the space-time tunnel connecting to Earth was not damaged, so the ninjas could return at any time. That made everything much easier.
