"Sukunahikona!"
Seeing Hagoromo approaching him, Ōtsutsuki raised his hand and transformed several Black Receiver into sizes invisible to the naked eye, shooting them towards Hagoromo at an extremely fast speed.
Bang--
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
The Black Receiver were all blocked by the Hagoromo.
Black eyes, or two?
Hagoromo looked at the two eyes of the Ōtsutsuki in front of her, and with a swift movement, she appeared behind the Ōtsutsuki.
Boom--
The powerful blow slammed directly into the Ōtsutsuki in front of him, sending it flying.
Oh?
It felt good to hold; watching Ōtsutsuki get up after just a few rolls, Hagoromo seemed to have found a new toy.
Without hesitation, Hagoromo's figure flashed once more.
Bang bang--
In the blink of an eye, Hagoromo and the Ōtsutsuki exchanged several blows, the immense impact shaking this seemingly sacred place.
Ōtsutsuki gritted his teeth and glanced at his trembling hands. This guy...
His physical body was even more terrifying than that of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
"Daikokuten!"
A large number of black cubes fell from the sky, Ōtsutsuki intended to use to disrupt Hagoromo's advance.
Immediately afterwards, Ōtsutsuki used Yomotsu Hirasaka again, and flashed into the air.
Boom--
Yomotsu Hirasaka could close, Hagoromo's figure arrived nearby and slammed down with a fist, causing the spatial rift to widen.
With a Hagoromo, Yu Yi pulled the figure that had just gone inside out.
"Yang Release Armament Monster Strength - Gear 5!"
The fists rained down like raindrops, and Ōtsutsuki's entire figure was thrown out like a rag doll, leaving streaks of blood along the way.
"How is that possible!"
Urashiki had been completely drained, could not believe that his master had been beaten so badly by a despicable creature that he was powerless to fight back.
Hagoromo glanced at Urashiki before heading towards the spot where the Ōtsutsuki had fallen.
Inside the pit, Ōtsutsuki's clothes were torn, and he got up in a disheveled state. Just as he was about to speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Ōtsutsuki looked at Hagoromo with a serious expression.
This guy makes absolutely no sense.
All those attacks, even if they were launched by the Ōtsutsuki Clan, might not have been able to achieve the same result, yet this guy seemed completely unaffected.
Otsutsuki glanced sideways at the Ōtsutsuki, immobile Urashiki, his eyes darkening.
What a useless piece of trash; he couldn't even buy him a little time.
Once this idea surfaced, Ōtsutsuki made a plan.
Who exactly are you?
Ōtsutsuki spoke to Hagoromo, trying to buy some time.
"The one who killed you."
Before Hagoromo could finish speaking, she was already in front of Ōtsutsuki, her right palm forming a claw shape, "Five Tiger Hunt!"
Roar--
A tremendous sonic boom resounded, and Ōtsutsuki was once again blasted away.
"As hard as a turtle..."
Hagoromo loosened his right hand; even this attack had only torn his clothes, rather than penetrating his flesh.
"Grown ups--"
Urashiki looked at the Ōtsutsuki had come to his side with a look of surprise, and the next moment his pupils widened.
"Useless! You can't even share the burden, what use are you!"
Without even glancing at Urashiki, Ōtsutsuki raised his hand and Urashiki to scream in agony and turn into a ball of flesh.
Ōtsutsuki opened his mouth wide and took a bite, his eyes fixed on Hagoromo's position with a fierce look.
Hagoromo Yi watched this guy without making a move, wanting to see what would happen to him after consuming the Urashiki.
The Ōtsutsuki who had swallowed Urashiki frowned. Although it still contained the essence of flesh and blood, unfortunately, Urashiki's Chakra had already been absorbed by Hagoromo.
He glanced at Urashiki's weapon beside him, then with a backhand stroke, he absorbed it, turning it into pure Chakra.
Ha--!
Ōtsutsuki let out a loud shout, and his entire being began to change; Hagoromo raised an eyebrow.
Just as he suspected, "Does your Ōtsutsuki Clan have a fetish for certain kinds of animals?"
Hagoromo asked Kaguya softly, and Otsutsuki Kaguya frowned, taking a while to respond, "This is a way of doing things that is close to nature."
Hagoromo raised an eyebrow. That's true.
However, the Ōtsutsuki in front of them was actually a tortoise... no, there was also a snake-like phantom beside it.
Genbu? If it really is, I might need to weigh it further, but--
Boom--
Another battle erupted within the space.
The shadows were panting heavily. Darui looked around, feeling a little helpless.
They're too weak; too weak to even offer help.
As Kage, they were the leaders of their respective villages, but starting a few years ago, although the title of Kage still held its former influence, they could no longer intervene in some battles.
It can only be said that they basically had no way to get involved in the battles initiated by Hagoromo.
Even the recent battle on the moon, they only heard about it afterward.
But what good would knowing that do? It's the moon; they can't possibly go up there to fight.
"This guy is pretty strong."
Naruto, carrying the Black Receiver, wiped his nose and said...
"Not bad, finish him off quickly." Sasuke's expression remained unchanged. This battle had been almost entirely a test, and now they basically knew what was going on; it was time to wrap things up.
"Ah!"
After Naruto finished speaking, he immediately dashed forward.
Momoshiki's pupils constricted, while Kinshiki beside him was panting heavily.
His legs had been cut off by Sasuke and Naruto, and they were irreversible.
Watching Momoshiki deal with Naruto and Sasuke's attacks, Kinshiki raised his only remaining hand and slammed it onto the ground.
He sped towards Momoshiki, yelling, "My lord! Eat me!"
Momoshiki repelled Naruto and Sasuke once again, then looked at Kinshiki who was coming towards him. Without saying anything, he used both hands to absorb Kinshiki, turning him directly into a ball of flesh.
Then Momoshiki swallowed it in large gulps.
"This guy--"
Sasuke's pupils constricted; this was a fact.
"They actually ate their own kind!" Naruto shouted in disbelief.
"Laugh--"
Momoshiki scoffed upon hearing this, "Kinshiki's very existence is for this kind of thing."
Ha--!
Before Momoshiki could finish speaking, an even greater amount of Chakra erupted from his body, and his entire appearance began to change drastically.
Multiple black stripes appeared on its body and face, the horns on its head stood upright, and the Byakugan turned gold.
"Now is the time to capture you, Tailed Beasts and those of inferior blood."
Momoshiki's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Naruto and Sasuke with unrestrained abandon.
Call out--
It launched an attack on Naruto and Sasuke with its form almost invisible.
"It's faster now, and the Chakra has increased significantly." Sasuke frowned, and without hesitation, he entered the second form of Susanoo. His robes became even wider, and his left eye turned completely black.
Um?
Momoshiki was stunned when he saw Sasuke's black eyes.
"Isshiki's eyes..." Momoshiki pouted, "And the eyes of the other guy?"
"Daikokuten!"
Countless black cubes fell from the sky, directly limiting Momoshiki's speed of rapid movement.
"Superior!"
Naruto raised his hand and formed hand seals, "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
"Yang Release Armament!"
Thousands of Naruto -like figures, clad in dark gray Yang Release Armament, launched an attack on Momoshiki.
"Like insects!"
Momoshiki's eyes darted around rapidly, doing everything he could to block Naruto's attack.
Moreover, these Shadow Clones, equipped with Yang Release Armament, were unable to absorb Chakra.
"Mere ants!"
Ha--!
A massive Chakra surge erupted from Momoshiki's body, blowing away any Shadow Clones that approached him.
Bang bang--
Countless Shadow Clones exploded in mid-air.
Inukai Takeru no Mikoto!
Roar--!
Multiple dragon-headed, snake-bodied monsters burst forth from the ground, lunging towards Naruto and Sasuke's location.
Sasuke's Sharingan in his right eye spun wildly, "Susanoo: Iaijutsu!"
Sasuke raised the Amatsukaku high in his hand and slashed at the dragon-headed, snake-bodied monster from a distance.
The next instant, a massive dark purple sword aura transformed into a huge blade, slicing through the dragon-headed, snake-bodied monster as easily as cutting tofu.
Rumble--
The dust billowed up and spread outwards. Momoshiki seized the opportunity and rushed in, his left eye transforming into the Byakugan. He raised his hand, which took the form of a claw, and attacked Sasuke's chest.
Bang--
Don't underestimate us!
Naruto Body Flicker Technique appeared in front of Sasuke, raised his fist, and slammed it towards Momoshiki.
Bang--
Momoshiki was sent flying backwards.
"Immortal Technique· Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!"
Naruto leaped up, raising the Rasengan in his hand and hurling it at Momoshiki.
Momoshiki was delighted to see this and raised her hands, intending to absorb it.
But they didn't see Naruto smile.
Want to smoke? Then smoke!
The Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan grew even larger halfway through its flight, and the surrounding space seemed on the verge of collapse.
Um?
The moment Momoshiki made contact, his expression changed drastically. This power was like poison; if it had been the amount he had just encountered, he would have been fine.
However, Naruto added even more Senjutsu Chakra halfway through.
"Ah--!"
Momoshiki tilted his head back and shouted, "Inhale! There's a risk of losing control. Don't inhale! This technique can solve his problem!"
Just as Momoshiki was thinking of opening Yomotsu Hirasaka, Sasuke appeared behind Momoshiki, Amatsukaku pierced through him.
"You bug!"
Seeing Amatsukaku right through him, Momoshiki was furious and immediately increased the absorption of the technique.
"Ape Rock!"
Ignoring everything else, Momoshiki absorbed Naruto's Chakra while desperately converting it into his own, transforming himself into a gigantic lava giant.
Roar--
The sound of the explosion echoed far and wide, turning the already shattered plateau into ruins.
Naruto!
Sasuke shouted, and Naruto, who had already jumped away, saw this and a huge amount of golden Chakra surged out of him. With the addition of Natural Energy, Kurama, who had transformed into Tailed Beast Transformation, stood up and became a three-headed, six-armed being.
Seeing this, Sasuke jumped up and was caught by Kurama's Chakra.
The next instant, Sasuke unleashed his Chakra, covering his Michikaeshi Robe with the Asura Nine-Tails Mode.
A three-headed, six-armed priest hovered in the air, watching the raging lava giant.
"This guy... seems to have lost control."
Naruto pouted, saying he never expected Momoshiki to be so crazy.
"It's dangerous when it gets out of control, take care of him!" Sasuke said to Naruto.
"Good!"
The next moment, the priest wearing the Michikaeshi mask raised his hand and clenched it, and a giant sword appeared.
"Cut!"
Naruto and Sasuke shouted simultaneously and slashed at the lava giant that Momoshiki had transformed into.
The lava giant, which was wreaking havoc everywhere, was slashed by the sword energy and stopped moving, as if it was wondering about something.
Boom--
A massive explosion rang out, and the lava giant was instantly reduced to fragments and collapsed.
Amidst the ruins, Momoshiki stared at the wound on her chest, or rather, at the dislocated body, her gaze gradually becoming unfocused.
"Oh? You've come at just the right time."
A figure appeared beside Momoshiki, raised a hand and inhaled, absorbing Momoshiki's purest energy.
On her deathbed, Momoshiki looked at the head that the man was holding, and a thought came to her mind in her final moments.
"When? Even he's dead?"
Naruto and Sasuke, having deactivated their Asura Nine-Tails Mode, quickly arrived beside Hagoromo. "Master."
"Hmm, I didn't expect to see you guys take care of him as soon as I got back."
"Hehe, it's alright. I wouldn't have needed to use this mode if it weren't for the accident." Naruto scratched his head, clearly not expecting Momoshiki to go so crazy.
"As long as it can be solved, that's fine. I went over there, and this was the only guy there."
Hagoromo raised the head in his hand, revealing a dead Ōtsutsuki.
Yet you can still see the expression on his face before he died.
Shock, and fear.
"Master is still the best."
Naruto looked down at the head. This guy looked stronger than Momoshiki. His master had actually taken him down all by himself.
"Then, although it died, I sealed it away. I'll have Orochimaru study it when we get back."
Hagoromo showed no pity for the Ōtsutsuki simply because he was humanoid.
"Alright!"
Naruto reached out and took it.
Whoosh--
The other figures rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Hagoromo and the others.
"Hokage, is that resolved?"
Darui looked at the head that Naruto was holding, which was clearly not Momoshiki's, and asked a question.
"Yes, there were only two people left in that space, and they've been dealt with."
Hagoromo nodded. Before leaving, she had taken everything she could, and destroyed anything she couldn't take with her.
"How many of these guys are there?"
Mei Terumi looked worried. Although the Shinobi World was quite powerful, this guy was clearly not on the same level as Shinobi World.
"There probably won't be too many. The best way to deal with these guys is through Taijutsu."
With a stomp of her Hagoromo onto the ground, Momoshiki, who was already just an empty shell, turned into dust and vanished.
"Taijutsu."
Darui lowered his head in deep thought. When it comes to Taijutsu, Jonin has no shortage of Kumogakure.
However, it's clear that the Taijutsu Hagoromo mentioned go beyond this level; one needs the reaction speed of a shadow.
It seems I'll have to think of ways to improve when I get back.
Gaara, meanwhile, came to Hagoromo's side, realizing that the gap between himself and Naruto and Sasuke was widening.
But the next moment, Gaara blinked.
It seems like Naruto never used their full power during the Chunin Ninja Exams, right?
So, the gap between him and them was already widened before?
