Rumble!
The once विशाल and sturdy Chunin Exams arena had been thrown into complete chaos by the battles raging on all sides.
While Soji and Urashiki Otsutsuki faced off in one corner of the stands, the battle in the center of the arena—Five Kage and Toneri versus Momoshiki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki—was also in full swing.
Ever since Kinshiki had brought down the entire arena with a single blow, the fighting on both sides had only grown fiercer.
Naruto and Momoshiki had begun fighting in earnest, constantly moving at high speed and exchanging blows.
In Sage Fox Mode, Naruto was not inferior to Momoshiki in the slightest. The two were evenly matched, and neither had gained an absolute upper hand so far!
Momoshiki had tried several times to seize Naruto and absorb his Chakra, but Naruto had foiled him every time, making Momoshiki increasingly furious.
But there was nothing he could do. Naruto's strength had truly exceeded his expectations.
If Naruto had not lacked every trait of a Starry Sky Otsutsuki Clan member, Momoshiki would have thought he was fighting another Otsutsuki.
That alone showed just how troublesome Naruto was in Momoshiki's eyes.
In the original story, Naruto had been captured alive by Momoshiki so easily mainly because he cared too much about the casualties among Konoha's ordinary civilians.
He had devoted all his strength to protecting them, giving Momoshiki the chance to capture him alive.
But now, because of the butterfly effect caused by Soji, Naruto had arranged for the ordinary civilians in the stands to evacuate ahead of time. That was why he could focus entirely on dealing with Momoshiki!
Without anything holding him back, even if Momoshiki devoured Kinshiki, capturing Naruto alive would not be so easy.
For the moment, Naruto and Momoshiki were locked in a stalemate.
