"Naruto, is something the matter?"
Within the spiritual space, the other Tailed Beasts all looked at Naruto was standing in the middle, and spoke.
Since becoming the Seventh, Naruto has rarely had time to summon them.
"Everyone, I need your strength."
The Seventh, Naruto, looked at all the Tailed Beasts and spoke with a solemn expression.
Upon hearing this, all the Tailed Beasts were taken aback.
This was the first time Naruto had said something like this. Keep in mind that Fourth Shinobi World War, it wasn't that no Tailed Beasts wanted to follow Naruto, but Naruto refused them.
"He can't even speak clearly."
Kurama rolled his eyes and directly passed on what he knew to the other Tailed Beasts.
Upon receiving Kurama's memories, all the Tailed Beasts fell silent.
The Ōtsutsuki clan, you mean?
"You should have done this earlier." The Four-Tails said, slowly transferring his Chakra into Naruto.
Seeing this, the other Tailed Beasts followed suit and transferred their Chakra to the Four-Tails.
"Alright, I've transferred at least half of my Chakra. At least if I get captured, it will still be inside you."
After saying Four-Tails, Yotsuba burst into laughter.
The other Tailed Beasts didn't say anything, but judging from their expressions, they all seemed to have the same thing in mind.
Naruto solemnly thanked each of the Tailed Beasts.
"No need, we're doing this for ourselves too, but Kurama, you must protect Naruto."
Kurama Rabjam scoffed, "I know, I'd rather die than let him die."
All the Tailed Beasts were stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
They knew that what Kurama said was true.
--
The location where the Five Great Nations meet.
Above the sky, a strange, twisting motion began to appear.
Then a vortex slowly expanded outwards.
As the vortex unfolded, Hagoromo, far away in Konoha, noticed it immediately.
"Naruto, Sasuke, all Kage, let's go!"
The voice transcended national borders, resounding in the ears of everyone Hagoromo wanted to convey her message.
Naruto and Sasuke, who were busy at work, stopped what they were doing, offered no resistance, and vanished from their spots.
The other shadows, after equipping themselves, vanished from their respective locations in the next instant.
With light steps, a figure slowly emerged from the vortex, yet refused to set foot on the ground, as if afraid of soiling its feet.
"So this is where Kaguya's servant came from? It's really barren."
High on the plateau, Momoshiki, dressed in aristocratic attire, high-heeled wooden clogs, and draped in Hagoromo Momoshiki, looked around with disdain.
In his perception, apart from a few locations with highly concentrated Chakra reactions, this planet was so barren that it made him want to vomit.
However, he did not notice that at the vortex he had just stepped out of, an almost imperceptible ripple flashed by.
"My lord, let me take you there."
The silent Kinshiki crouched down slightly, intending to lift Momoshiki.
Um?
Just as Momoshiki was about to go up, he sensed something. He turned his head to the side, and a dark shadow flashed past, tearing through the thin veil above his head.
"Wow, that's a quick reaction."
A voice rang out, Naruto spoke with a hint of annoyance.
"If you could take it so easily, I wouldn't be Ōtsutsuki."
Sasuke slowly walked out and came to Naruto's side.
"You lowly creatures!" Momoshiki's eyes bulged with veins; he had just been ambushed by a lowly human.
"Hey, Sasuke, this guy's even more arrogant than you used to be."
Naruto, completely ignoring Momoshiki's attitude, spoke to Sasuke beside him.
"Shut up, I'm not as ugly as him," Sasuke retorted.
"So that's the Ōtsutsuki..."
On the periphery, the various Kage watched as the space gradually became distorted. This was not caused by Space-Time Ninjutsu, but by the distortion caused by Momoshiki's Chakra.
"This kind of Chakra is truly terrifying."
Darui spoke, saying that they received a message from Hagoromo and descended to this place through the spell cast by Hagoromo.
However, it seems they are somewhat unable to intervene in this battle.
"Let's be prepared to provide support at any time," Gaara said softly. It seemed they couldn't help on the front lines; all they could do was distract Naruto and Sasuke.
"Hmm, but why didn't you see it, Hagoromo?"
Mei Terumi looked around; it seemed that Hagoromo hadn't come over.
"The teacher said that this battle is to end the Ōtsutsuki's threat to the Shinobi World, so he will arrive a little later."
Gaara said softly.
"Then what are we waiting for? If I can fly, I'll support them first." Deidara said, raising his hand and a giant monstrous bird appeared, then soared into the sky.
"The Fifth Tsuchikage is decent in strength, but something about him feels..."
Mei Terumi couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
Deidara always seemed a bit childish to her.
"Alright, enough chit-chat." Darui drew his Ninja Blade from his back and quickly stepped forward.
Momoshiki tore off the thin veil from her head, looking indifferently at the two people in front of her, as well as the insects that were gradually approaching from behind.
His aura gradually froze.
Naruto!
Kurama's voice boomed in Naruto's mind, tinged with tension, "Be careful, this guy is even stronger than that guy on the moon!"
"Yeah?"
Naruto suppressed his relaxed expression; for Kurama to say that meant this guy was indeed difficult to deal with.
Snap--
With a single step, the Chakra of Kurama Mode surged from Naruto's body, and as his golden cloak combined with the Six Paths Power, Naruto directly entered Six Paths Mode.
Upon seeing this, Sasuke also emitted dark purple Chakra, and the skeleton unique to Susanoo quickly appeared before merging with him.
A divine robe made of Chakra draped over Sasuke's body, while the mask unique to Michikaeshi was placed at the back of his head. Amatsukaku, after being covered by Chakra, transformed into a haori that wrapped around his body.
Momoshiki glanced at the two before him and tilted his head slightly. "Not bad Chakra... more mature than I expected. Enough as my appetizer."
Hovering in mid-air, its gaze seemed to be appraising food.
Naruto raised his hand and clenched it, Truth-Seeking Orb instantly transformed into two Black Receiver in his hand, creating a visible shockwave.
This Ōtsutsuki made him feel a little disgusted.
"Get your eyes off me, you inferior creature! You disgust me!"
Momoshiki raised his left hand, palm facing Naruto. "However, since you've managed to cultivate your Chakra to such a high level, I'll show you a little mercy and demonstrate what 'divine power' truly means."
"Sealing Technique Absorption!"
A powerful suction force instantly enveloped Naruto.
The golden cloak on Naruto's body was showing signs of crumbling.
"What?"
Naruto was shocked; this level of power was even more exaggerated than the Ōtsutsuki he had ever seen.
Stop spacing out!
Sasuke stepped forward, raised his right hand, and the haori belonging to Amatsukaku shot out.
Seeing this, Kinshiki stepped forward, conjuring a red axe in his hand, and slashed down at Yuzhi.
Sasuke scoffed at the sight, but the haori suddenly appeared from the side, heading towards the junction of Momoshiki's neck and spine from another blind spot.
The angle and speed were extremely tricky.
Momoshiki didn't even move. His left hand maintained its absorption of Naruto, while his right hand was gently raised and clenched into a fist.
Buzz--
The haori stopped abruptly, as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand, which wanted to crush it.
Chance!
Naruto, who had been feigning helplessness, suddenly had a glint in his eyes. He took a step forward, broke free from Momoshiki's absorption, and clenched his fist at an even faster speed, smashing it towards Momoshiki.
"Yang Release Armament: Soaring Dragon!"
Chant--
A dragon's roar echoed across the entire plateau as Naruto's fist slammed directly into Momoshiki's face.
"What?!"
Momoshiki's pupils constricted sharply; he couldn't absorb it?
No, the technique covering this fist isn't just Chakra!
Bang--
A visible explosion of energy erupted, Momoshiki's entire body was thrown backward like a rag doll. Kinshiki, who was beside him, tried to catch Momoshiki, but was also sent flying by the force of the explosion.
The giant dragon formed by the Inch Force shattering space held the two of them firmly in place before slamming them towards the ground.
Rumble--!
Smoke and rubble shot into the sky, and Momoshiki lay disheveled in the pit.
"Those two guys!"
"Hey, Sasuke, watch out, this guy seems to really want to absorb my Chakra."
As Naruto landed, he spoke, having immediately noticed something amiss with Momoshiki's actions, which prompted him to immediately activate his Yang Release Armament.
"Hmm? That's not right!"
Sasuke was taken aback, then realized something and looked at the spot where Momoshiki and the other person had landed.
"Don't use spells to attack him!"
Sasuke shouted.
But it was too late. The Kage, who were already prepared to finish off the enemy, descended with their most powerful Ninjutsu.
Upon hearing the sound, Gaara stopped in time. His technique was different from others; once it was activated, he could retract it.
Momoshiki was initially questioning his existence while sitting in the crater, burst into maniacal laughter upon seeing this scene.
With both hands raised, the immense suction force absorbed all the Ninjutsu.
"What!"
Mei Terumi, Darui, and Deidara were startled by what they saw and retreated quickly without thinking.
"Damn it, did we mess things up?!" Darui was speechless. They had finally found someone useful, and now—
"Feel your own weight!"
Momoshiki floated up and raised his hand, aiming it at Naruto and Sasuke.
"Takami Musubi no Kami!"
A dark golden light, mixed with a little bit of the Nine-Tails Chakra that had just been absorbed, encountered the lightning storm of the Storm Release, the acid of the Lava Release, and a huge explosion, instantly blasting outwards.
The illusory rock behind Sasuke instantly materialized and headed towards the attack.
Boom--
The massive surge of energy was directly caught by the rock, and Sasuke frowned slightly.
"Sasuke!" Naruto came to Sasuke's side, put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder, and transferred his Chakra to Sasuke.
Having absorbed Naruto's Chakra, the rock instantly expanded, reflecting all the attacks back at him.
"What!"
Momoshiki's eyes widened in disbelief as a torrent of energy swept towards him.
"Grown ups!"
At the critical moment, Kinshiki arrived at Momoshiki's side, exposing his back to shield Momoshiki from the attack.
Rumble--
The terrifying explosion illuminated the entire sky, and the turbulent flow of energy directly flattened the entire plateau area.
Amidst the smoke and dust, the figures held their hands in front of them, yet they were still blown into the air by the current.
--
"This... is this the so-called headquarters?"
Hagoromo Robe walked slowly through a space filled with Taiseki, devoid of any life.
All that met the eye was a deathly white, but Hagoromo could sense the energy present in this space.
It was terrifying; even Hagoromo was somewhat taken aback.
Who are you?!
A figure appeared not far from Hagoromo, his pupils filled with solemnity.
The person in front of me is terrifying.
This was something even he, a member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, couldn't have imagined—there was someone stronger than the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
Just standing there made him very uncomfortable, as if he would be killed on the spot if he made a single move.
No, it must be an illusion.
"Oh? I didn't expect there to be anyone here. What's your name?"
Hagoromo chuckled lightly, surprised that there was actually someone there.
It seems this is not Momoshiki's supposed residence.
Thud, thud--
A voice came from afar, "Sir! It seems Momoshiki has already set off; I didn't notice them."
Hagoromo turned her head to look, and saw Urashiki, the Urashiki of this world.
Judging from the title, is this the one who rose to power from the Urashiki?
Looks like we've caught a big fish.
"Huh? Who's this?" Urashiki finally realized the abnormality in his upper body, turned his head to look, and was stunned.
"How do you have my Chakra on you?!"
Urashiki trembled all over; the aura could be said to be his, or it could not be.
"Your nose is quite sensitive."
Hagoromo was surprised that this Urashiki could smell that he had absorbed Urashiki's Chakra, which happened more than a month ago.
Call out--
Urashiki's fishing hook shot straight toward Hagoromo.
"Guests are guests; this is very impolite of you."
Hagoromo grabbed Urashiki's fishing hook, and before she could finish speaking, she pulled Urashiki over with a forceful tug.
He grabbed Urashiki by the neck, and as the suction force activated, Urashiki's pupils widened. "My lord! Save me!"
The Ōtsutsuki who had been stopped by Urashiki remained standing, his gaze fixed on Hagoromo.
Leave, and I'll spare your life.
His tone was indifferent, as if he didn't care about the Hagoromo at all.
"Come on! I'll see how you kill me!"
Hagoromo raised her other free hand and beckoned to the figure, "Come here."
The Ōtsutsuki, who had initially felt insulted by the provocation, realized something was wrong in the next instant.
He swayed, panting heavily on the spot, his face filled with disbelief.
"Imperial edict?!"
This ability reminded the Ōtsutsuki of a legendary member of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but he should have already left this world.
Hagoromo looked at his right hand; this was the first time he had failed to activate this ability.
That means the Ōtsutsuki in front of us is quite powerful.
Looks like we've caught a big fish.
Hagoromo tossed the weapon, Urashiki, aside. "What a useless guy. Chakra, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."
