Shisui's fight with the puppets appeared effortless. The combination of the Body Flicker Technique and swordsmanship allowed him to easily dismantle puppet after puppet.
However, just like the previous puppets, these quickly regenerated. Shisui snorted coldly, and a green giant rose from the ground.
"W-what is that!" Otsutsuki Kyojin was seeing Susanoo for the first time and was shocked by Shisui's immense power.
"Huh? When did Shisui awaken Susanoo? And he can already use the second stage," Uchiha En said, somewhat surprised.
"It seems Shisui has been secretly working hard where you couldn't see," Asana said with a smile.
"That's great! I wish he could get even stronger, but using Susanoo like this must put a certain strain on his eyes, right?"
"I happen to still have an injection made using the first hokages cells here."
"Then let's give it to him after we return from the Moon!" Uchiha En said.
While Uchiha En and Asana were chatting, Shisui controlled the Susanoo, smashing the puppets to pieces repeatedly. The puppets regenerated repeatedly, but after dozens of such cycles, the power inside the puppets was exhausted, and they could no longer regenerate.
Otsutsuki Kyojin witnessed the terrifying destructive power of Shisui's Susanoo and felt lingering fear. He cautiously asked Uchiha En, "En, do you also possess power like his?"
"Yes. This technique is called Susanoo. It is the power of the Sage's Eye inherited by Otsutsuki Hagoromo's eldest son, Indra."
"En, did Ashura's descendants also inherit a similar power?" Otsutsuki Kyojin continued to ask.
"That's right. However, we don't have any of Ashura's descendants here, so I can't show you what powers they possess. But the power of Ashura's descendants is in no way inferior to the power of Indra's descendants."
Otsutsuki Kyojin was utterly astonished upon hearing this, and it took him a while to recover. He looked at Uchiha En and the others with a complicated expression and said, "I never imagined that Senior Hagoromo's descendants would be so powerful."
Uchiha En smiled and did not reply. Otsutsuki Kyojin, meanwhile, secretly resolved that no matter what happened on the Moon in the future, he would insist on maintaining peaceful relations with the Ninja World and would never become its enemy.
After dealing with the puppets, Otsutsuki Kyojin led Uchiha En and the others to jump into the lake. At the bottom of the lake was a seal covered with special runes.
Otsutsuki Kyojin activated his Byakugan and, following the instructions he saw, unlocked the seal. The group then entered the passage.
"Oh? This passage is quite complex! It's constructed using a Space-Time Barrier. No wonder it can reach the Moon from the Ninja World," Asana exclaimed admiringly.
"The people on the Moon don't know how to use Space-Time Barriers. This passage was constructed based on the jutsu formula left behind by Ancestor Hamura," Otsutsuki Kyojin explained.
After walking for a few minutes, Uchiha En and his group reached the end of the passage.
"Stepping out from here is the Moon. The Branch Family has completely taken control of the Moon, so they don't need to hide things to guard against the Main Family like they did before.
However, not all of our Main Family members should have been captured; a few managed to escape. The area near the passage must be guarded by puppets or Branch Family members to prevent our Main Family from using the passage to escape," Otsutsuki Kyojin said in a serious tone.
"What about other areas? Besides the vicinity of the passage, are there puppets everywhere on the Moon?" Uchiha En pressed.
"No, at least it wasn't like that when I was there," Otsutsuki Kyojin replied.
"By the way, what kind of life did the people on the Moon lead before?" Shisui asked curiously.
"Actually, our life there was similar to life in the Ninja World. The Moon is isolated from the world. You are the first group of people to reach the Moon in a thousand years."
"Enough! Don't ask such irrelevant questions. Kyojin, according to you, only the area near the passage should be guarded by puppets or people, right?"
Otsutsuki Kyojin nodded.
"In that case, I'll just teleport over and take a look."
"Teleport directly, but..."
"Don't worry! En knows Space-Time Ninjutsu, so tricking the guards or the puppets definitely won't be a problem. The real question is whether the outside is truly like Kyojin said—that there are no puppets anywhere except at the passage entrance," Asana said.
"Oh, right, one more question: is there air on the Moon, and how does the gravity compare to the Ninja World?" Uchiha En asked, preparing to move.
"A thousand years ago, when Ancestor Hamura led our clansmen to migrate to the Moon, he used special methods to change the Moon's environment.
Therefore, the living environment on the Moon is similar to the Ninja World, just without as many plants and animals," Otsutsuki Kyojin replied.
Only then did Uchiha En feel completely relieved. If the Moon of the Ninja World were the same as the Moon in his previous life, Uchiha En had planned to ask Nijo for help storing oxygen and then use Chakra to block cosmic radiation.
Now that he knew the environment on the Moon was similar to the Ninja World, there was nothing to worry about.
"Then I'm going to prepare to move. Once I'm outside, I will first confirm whether there are any puppets or members of the Ōtsutsuki Branch Family nearby. If it's safe..."
"...I will teleport right back and take you all out," Uchiha En said, turning to Asana and the others.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Uchiha En walked a few steps forward, reached the passage exit, and then used teleportation to leave the passage directly.
Emerging from the passage, Uchiha En's Minds Eye immediately detected the presence of puppets.
Without any hesitation, he used teleportation several times in quick succession, disappearing before the puppets could even react.
Uchiha En arrived in an area where there were no people and no puppets.
He looked around and found that the environment on the Moon was very different from the Ninja World. As far as the eye could see, there were deep and shallow craters, and no puppets or people were passing by.
"So this is the Moon? It looks about the same as what I saw in my previous life!" Uchiha En muttered to himself.
Following that, Uchiha En began to check the surrounding situation. After an investigation, Uchiha En confirmed that the situation on the Moon was the same as what Otsutsuki Kyojin had described.
Uchiha En then teleported back to the passage and took the others with him to leave.
After arriving on the Moon, Shisui looked around curiously, while Asana merely glanced around and lost interest.
"Kyojin, where should we go now?" Now that they were on the Moon, Otsutsuki Kyojin was the only person present who knew the way around.
