Chapter 498: The Hokage’s Final Decision
"The matters of the moon, just leave them to you to handle. There's only one important point. From now on, the moon is no longer a vessel for sealing the Otsutsuki Goddess. You also no longer need to send people to guard it."
Lux specifically emphasized this.
Because Kaguya had already been freed from her seal and had now been captured by him, the threat from the moon had drastically decreased. There was no longer any need to send troops to guard it in shifts.
"I understand, but the moon is still very important! We can't abandon it!"
Minato nodded and gave his response.
Although there was no longer a need to guard the seal, after witnessing the devastating crisis of meteor showers that nearly wiped out the entire ninja world's ecosystem, how could Minato not realize the importance of the moon?
Such an important celestial body had to remain under their control!
Besides the threat from other villages, imagine if one day another Otsutsuki attacked and destroyed the moon.
If those meteors fell to Earth, the ninja world could be annihilated in an instant!
From that perspective alone, they had to be vigilant.
"Good, it seems you've already realized the importance of the moon."
