Reborn in Naruto As Madara's Grandson

Chapter 647: Kaguya’s decision

"Grandpa! Grandma! Help me!"

Suddenly, two pairs of cold eyes pierce through Izuna.

Shiing… Shiing…

Kasumi's soul activates her Mangekyo Sharingan and glares at Izuna, while the Third eye on Madara's forehead locks on Izuna's body. The remnant power of Shutendōji in Madara's body sends a shiver down Izuna's spine.

"Who is bullying my granddaughter?" Madara glares at Izuna.

"Madara, I am with you!"

Hashirama also enters into Mokuten Sage Mode and glares at Izuna with a piercing gaze.

Pfft… Haha…

Akira, Aiko, Tsunade, and Mei burst out in laughter.

"No, I won't let anyone bully Daddy!" Kanna stands in front of Izuna and spreads her hands in an attempt to block Izuna's figure.

"My little angel!" Tears flow from Izuna's eyes.

"Only my little angel loves me!" Izuna picks Kanna up in his arms and hugs her.

"Daddy, don't worry! I will protect you from the bad guys. I won't let anyone bully my daddy."

Izuna's heart melts and he ruffles Kanna's head with a doting gaze.

"My little Kanna is the strongest! Isn't that, right?!"

Izuna holds Kanna in her arms and glances at everyone with a smile.

"Well… umm…"

Everyone's expression freezes as they stare at Kanna's innocent face and Izuna's cheeky grin.

"That's… that's so unfair!" Ayaka grits her teeth as she notices Madara's and Kasumi's faltering expression.

Even Aiko and Akira side with Kanna.

Izuna makes a victory pose to tease Izuna.

'I win!' The smirk on her face depicts it all.

Ayaka balls her hands into fists.

'I will let this one slide, for Kanna's sake!'

In the end, even Ayaka gives up, and somehow Kanna gets all the attention.

Izuna stares at his empty arm with a hollow gaze.

'Ah! They stole my angel.'

Hmm…

Suddenly, Izuna notices Tatsuya's almost tearful and resentful gaze.

'Shit! I almost forgot about the feelings of my son.'

He picks up Tatsuya and hugs him.

"No matter what, Tatsuya is daddy's boy, right?"

However, Tatsuya turns his head away and looks around for Mei.

"Mom!"

In the end, he even takes the initiative to jump off Izuna's arm and rush towards Mei, hugging her tightly.

Mei picks him up with a smile and kisses his cheek. She pampers Tatsuya and flashes a smile at Izuna.

"I… I lost!" A gust of wind blows with Izuna's sad expression.

"Nii-san!"

Izuna turns around and notices Ayaka sitting beside him with a similar face.

Tatsuya and Kanna have hogged all of their attention.

Sigh…

Izuna sighs and pats her head.

Meanwhile, Kaguya also recounts her past to Hagoromo and Hamura and reconciles with them.

"Mother, I didn't expect you were suffering more than anyone else?" Hamura holds his emotions.

Izuna turns to Kaguya. He opens his palm and a magatama orb flies out of it. The orb floats in front of Kaguya and disperses to reveal Ibaraki Otsutsuki's body.

"He is…"

Kaguya feels a close bloodline connection with the figure in front of her.

"He is your stillborn child!"

Kaguya's emotions turn chaotic and she places her hand on top of Ibaraki's forehead with a gentle gaze.

Izuna has already wiped the influence of Black Zetsu and even purged the effect of Shibai Otsutsuki's blood.

"I-Ibaraki!"

"He is our elder brother!" Hagoromo and Hamura glance at each other and surround Ibaraki's body.

Kaguya closes her eyes as the memories of Ibaraki's body appear in her mind.

"So, it's the Otsutsuki clan again!" She grits her teeth in anger.

Izuna tactfully leaves her alone with her child's body. He turns to Hagoromo and Hamura.

"So, what do you two plan to do now?" He asks them straightforwardly.

"I didn't want this world to plunge into war and chaos. My only wish is to bond everyone peacefully with the power of chakra and Ninshū. However," Hagoromo sighs.

"The world is about to plunge into chaos, and a war of unprecedented size is about to start. I can't help but feel worried about the future of humanity. So, I will do anything in my power to stop this conflict."

After hearing Hagoromo's answer, Izuna turns to Hamura.

"Initially, I planned to find a successor and grant him/her my powers and lie in peace. But looking at the current and future state of things, that doesn't seem to be a possibility. So, I will do everything in my power to protect the world that I grew up in." Hamura also answers with a firm resolution.

"However…"

The Otsutsuki duo glance at each other's state.

"We can't wield much of our power in our current state. Even if our soul is immortal, our flesh is still that of a mortal and our body has long since perished. So, we can't do much in our current state." The brothers sigh in disappointment.

"That can be arranged!" Izuna glances at the brothers with a twinkle in his eye.

Ayaka notices his expression and secretly rolls her eyes.

"Onii-san isn't up to anything good again!"

While Izuna's thoughts wander to another plane.

'I will be letting myself and the entire shinobi world if I can't put these two free Demi-god rank workers… ahem… I mean two important assets to good use. Also, the 'Sanctuary' needs a few more powerful people like them to hold the fort.'

Izuna makes a plan.

'As for the issue of their body?'

His gaze turns to Ibaraki.

'Don't I have the perfect material to create a new body for them? I am sure Amado will be elated to research the body of a godly being. Previously, I denied him the opportunity in the form of Isshiki and Jigen. But now, Ibaraki is the perfect test subject for him. But there is only a small problem!'

Izuna turns to Kaguya with a conflicted gaze.

'Will she allow the body of her child to be studied like that?' Izuna contemplates.

Kaguya sighs, shakes her head, and asserts her emotions. She turns to Izuna and speaks.

"Lord Izuna, I have decided. This place… this world… it's my precious nursery and a place that I can call home. I can't let it be damaged any further. I want to protect this world and right all my wrongdoings!" Kaguya has a resolute expression on her face.

Kaguya's sudden resolve surprises Izuna since he initially thought she would leave this place. However, on second thoughts, Kaguya has grown attached to this place after giving birth to her sons.

"Alright!" Izuna nods and turns to the Hiashi.

"Hiashi-san!"

Hiashi walks towards him and glances at Kaguya and Izuna with a conflicted gaze.

Kaguya also notices Hiashi, his bloodline, and his Byakugan.

"Hamura's descendants?!"

Hamura also flies towards Hiashi and scrutinizes his descendants. His gaze then moves toward the rest of the Hyuga clan members and he finally notices Hinata.

"What a pure soul! Looks like I found a worthy successor. Alas…" He sighs.

"Well, it's still not late!" Izuna gestures to Hinata to walk towards them.

Hinata walks towards them with Naruto in tow.

"Hinata, this person is your ancestor!" He introduces Hamura to Hinata.

Ah!

Hinata's expression freezes and she quickly bows her head in respect.

"It's alright! I am already a ghost of the past." Hamura shakes his head and disses the formalities.

An amiable smile appears on his face and he asks Hinata.

"Do you want to inherit my power and become my successor?" Hinata's face freezes again and she turns towards Naruto.

"This gramps look friendly, enough!" Naruto nods.

"Also, I trust Izuna Nii-san!"

Hinata turns to Izuna, who nods to give his approval.

Hinata muster her courage and nods.

"Please teach me, grandpa!"

Haha…

"Very well!" Hamura chuckles.

On the other side, Hiashi has also finished conversing with Kaguya. Though it's more like he has finished listening to another party.

"I will arrange a small house for Lady Kaguya in the Hyuga clan. She will live as a member of the Hyuga clan." Hiashi speaks of his arrangement.

"That's perfectly fine!" Izuna nods in approval and secretly gives a thumbs-up to Hiashi.

'I won't stay for long in the shinobi world. And the world needs someone powerful to protect it in my absence. Kaguya perfectly fits that role. She is a very powerful Demi-god with a god's immortality.'

"Also, about Ibaraki's body!" Kaguya casts a last glance at Ibaraki and shakes her head.

"My firstborn son is already dead!" Her gaze turns towards Hagoromo and Hamura.

'So, she has moved on and now values the living more than the dead.' Izuna gains a further understanding of Kaguya's character.

"Very well!"

Izuna opens his palm and seals Ibaraki's body into a magatama orb.

"Now it's time to deal with the most pressing issue!"

He walks towards his family and other Kages and shinobi.
