Chapter 263 : Living Weapon, White Zetsu!
The next day, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Kurama woke up in bed.
Kaguya was still napping, her breath soft and rhythmic. A faint blush lingered on her pale cheeks, and a slight smile played at the corners of her lips. It had clearly been a wonderful night. Lying there, she felt peaceful, protected. She was starting to truly appreciate the feeling of being held, of being cared for.
Kurama gently stroked her long, silver-white hair, the strands flowing through his fingers like silk. The atmosphere was quiet. Calm.
The Ōtsutsuki clan would never have imagined this future—that one of their own would choose to live here, on this planet, among mortals. But to Kurama and Kaguya, those thousands of years meant nothing anymore. This was their time.
Kaguya’s power was far beyond that of Tsunade or Kushina. Kurama had used every skill he knew—every technique, every bit of seduction he had once applied to Kushina, Tsunade, Mikoto, and the others—all at once against the ancestor of chakra. Kaguya, the Rabbit Goddess, was not immune. Little Nine-Tails, two volumes of experience. Kurama gave her everything he had.
Suddenly, a beam of sunlight pierced through the thick windows of the Ice and Snow Palace, lighting up the bed.
"So even this place has sunlight," Kurama murmured, smiling.
He kept his gaze fixed on Kaguya’s sleeping face. A moment later, her long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes slowly opened. The first thing she saw was Kurama’s smile.
She nuzzled closer, resting her head against his chest.
"Lord Kurama, you’re already awake," she said softly. Her tone was sweet, almost bashful. She moved gently, mindful of the horns on her head.
"Yeah," Kurama replied. "How do you feel?"
"Much better, Kurama-sama."
