[On the Moon, Otsutsuki palace: Toneri PoV]

After my remote controlled kamikaze puppet had detonated itself amongst the grass shinobis, I confirmed that it was completely destroyed, leaving no evidence behind.

Although Orochimaru's presence was unexpected, I was able to make the most of the situation. Since I wasn't there, I couldn't use my snake charming ability on the sannin. It is said that he is more snake than human. His true form in the shippuden arc is a giant serpent with countless white snakes as his scales.

As for how my puppet can use my curse techniques. That is because I found a way to use my chakra to guide my cursed energy by forming a bubble around my cursed energy. It is not an easy task, since I had to be perfectly still and focus only on my puppet to make it all work, still it took a heavy toll on both my chakra and cursed energy reserves to pull off this stunt. It's extremely unsuitable to use it against stronger opponents such as Orochimaru's caliber.

I do hope Orochimaru figures out my halfassly encrypted message, if not I would probably have to be a little bit more forceful in my methods. (Charm him during the konoha crush occasion, while he is still disguised as the fourth Kazekage rasa.)

In the end, I now have two Uzumakis living as guests in my humble abode. Good thing I was able to remember about them in time or Karin's mother would probably be dead in a few weeks at most. I did whisk the two out of that cesspool before I used my puppet to terrorize the weed folks.

Now with my inner monologue finished, I stood up and made my way towards the guest room where the mother and daughter reside.

---

Laying down on a comfortable bed rests Karin's mother. She is a slender woman with dull magenta eyes and red hair that seems to be two shades paler than Karin's, who is sitting next to the bed anxiously, not knowing what to do at the moment.

Her name is Sonae Uzumaki, one of the surviving Uzumakis that managed to escape the destruction of Uzushio.

The older Uzumaki had her arms bandaged, covering the bite marks marring her silky pale skin. Both parent and child are currently at a lost in the situation they found themselves in, uncertain what the future had instored for the mother and daughter.

Hearing a gentle knocking at the entrance of the room, the two occupants turned their heads towards the door.

"Miss Sonae san, are you feeling better?" The Young boy that took them from their home walked into the room holding a tray with two servings of food. Putting the tray on the nearby table, the pale skinned young man sat down next to Sonae. Both are still to some extent worry if their savior that took them to this bizzar palace in a blink of an eye.

[Flashback]

It was in the middle of the night. Another day after finishing her shift at the hospital in this kami forsaken village. To the villagers, the two Uzumakis might as well be cattles that served no other purposes that to give their vitality to heal the injured. Karin was currently spared from such fate, but sonae doesn't know how long she can last. Even still, she gave her best, all for her daughter's future. Her life for her daughter's future, there is nothing else she could do.

Day by day, she could feel herself getting weaker with each passing day. Her life force dwindling. She had no idea if she would even see her dearest Karin graduate and become a shinobi. The Village chief had promised her that Karin would be taken care of, but the more days past, the less does these promises hold any weight in Sonae's eyes.

Then he came and everything turned upside down.

A youthful looking boy suddenly appeared inside their dilapidated shack. His skin was as white as snow, untainted by any imperfections. His eyes a radiant cerulean blue, brighter than the brightest stars in the night. Wearing a grayish monk like attire, the young boy gave off the aura seemingly of noble descent. His chakra despite hidden, felt abundant like the countless stars in the night.

Taken aback by his presence, he grabbed our wrists. "No time to explain now, hold on tight." That's all he said. I felt some kind of foreign chakra enter my body from where he grabbed me. And I felt everything around me shifted. I don't know how to describe this sensation, in an blink of an eye we found ourselves outside on a stony surface with a dozen puppets cheering at our arrival.

Behind the crowd, there stood a castle that seems to be made to house the wealthiest daimiyo. I have only seem building so luxurious back in Uzushio once.

He introduced himself as Toneri Otsutsuki, the last member of the Otsutsuki clan stemming from Hamura's lineage, who is the twin brother of the Rikudo sennin Haguromo Otsutsuki.

The Otsutsuki clan are the distance cousins of the Hyuga clan from konoha and the Kaguya clan from Kiri, so he told us.

He guided us to a room and told us to make ourselves comfortable. After a while, he brought out a first aid box. I have worked with those in the hospital back in the grass village. Although a bit clumsy, our captor(savior) did his best to treat the bite marks on my limbs. Despite his gentle demeanor, I could sense something dark stirring inside him like a freezing blizzard, unforgiving and furious. Afterwards he said he had some business to take care of and told us to rest.

[Flashback end]

[Toneri PoV]

"I'm sorry to be blunt about it, but I want to know what do you want from us." Straight to the point, Sonae Uzumaki asked.

Hearing the question of the adult Uzumaki, I was in deep thought. For a moment, there was a tension in the room. Looking the pale skinned woman in the eyes I answered.

"It all can be traced back to the origin of chakra Haguromo Otsutsuki, more specifically the mother of the sage of six paths. Kaguya Otsutsuki. She can be said to be the real origin of chakra in this world." I said in what I call to be my lecture mode.

"For too long the Otsutsuki clan had been a silent observer, when Kumo, Iwa and kiri joined forces against Uzushio, the elders back then only observed. When the Kaguya clan fell into depravity our clan forsake them. I myself can't accept this passive roll no longer." unconsciously my fists were clenched.

Letting out a deep breath, I continued after a pause. "I wish to preserve the legacy of Haguromo and Hamura. No longer shall the Otsutsuki clan stay idol now that the world that the ancestors protected is engulfed in turmoil. Too many wars and conflicts, chakra was originally given to the people so they would understand each other, but it was turned into a tool of war."

[scene change: location of the giant tenseigan]

Under the ever so brilliant shining globus of infinite power. I was currently doing my studies.

I probably dropped too much of a lore bomb on Sonae and Karin. But it's better for them to know things like this sooner than later. In the end I offered them to stay on the moon as long as they want, if they wish to leave they only needed to ask. Sonae Uzumaki can work as a part-time maid if she so chooses. I think of myself as a generous young master.

Writing down another formula on the ground, I tried to apply calculations to my cursed energy in hopes of branching out my cursed technique arsenal.

Gojo's cursed techniques are: lapis blue that pulled things together, similar to a watered down Shibaku tensei.

reversal red is basically TNT Shinra bansho.

Infinity, multiplies the distance between myself and incoming attacks by infinity.

Hollow purple, literally erases anything that comes in contact with it.

I have already mastered infinity and Lapis blue, but Reversal red and hollow purple are out of my reach at the moment. I am missing something that I need to turn the negative into a positive, till then reverse cursed technique is out of my reach.

At this stage, I'm not confident to combine cursed energy and chakra in fear I accidentally create a localized version of a cursed spirit.

I recall there was this one movie where the land of sky remnants had a flying fortress empowered by the zero tails. A thing that feeds on negative emotions. And the sealed evil spirit in the lands of demons. Those are probably the closest things equivalent to cursed spirits in this world.

Till I am able to effortlessly spam hollow purple, I will not be risking accidentally experimenting a mahito or a calamity curse into this world.

If I have to explain cursed energy to a ninja, then it would be a variant of yin nature-chakra that is heavily saturated by negative emotions.

Compare to chakra, cursed energy is far more easy to be channeled through objects and environments. Chakra will dissipate after some time leaving a faint trace of residue behind after some time has passed. Cursed energy lasts longer and it could cause the imbued object to have unique properties if one knows how to do it. It's a less potent version of Fuinjutsu or enchanting.
