Chapter 431 The King of Stars "Escaped?!"
Just as the Mangekyo patterns in Satsuki's eyes lit up and the fluctuations of [ Tokoyo ]'s Dojutsu were about to spread, the target had already completely disappeared into the distorted spatial rift. Her Dojutsu missed its target.
Naruto looked at the spot Obito had disappeared. As expected, Obito had witnessed the entire battle at sea and seen how the Six Paths of Pain were defeated.
To so decisively abandon the attempt to seize the Rinnegan, and even to flee in such a disheveled manner, was clearly a wise choice.
Although using the truth as bait successfully lured the rat out of its burrow, the result was... that he still had to personally go into the "rat's nest" to catch it.
"... In the end, we still have to use that."
Naruto sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice.
Nagato and Konan were confused. "Does this guy have any other tricks up his sleeve?"
Naruto closed his eyes slightly, his mind sinking into the vast, star-like energy source within his body.
His path to power, after absorbing and mastering the [ Starry Sky Chakra ] and corresponding divine techniques bestowed by the eight planets of the Solar System, led him to set his sights on the more distant and magnificent depths of the Milky Way.
He ultimately chose a brilliant star in the Leo as his new source of resonance and power.
That star was more than thirty times the size of the sun, like a giant gem set in black velvet, burning with incandescent white and pale blue flames.
Its luminosity is 288 times brighter than the sun, making it an extremely bright and dazzling presence even in the vast sea of stars.
When he tried to guide and absorb the indescribable stellar power that the star had dispersed into the universe, the moment that torrent of power surged into his body, he had a delusion—as if he were touching, or even usurping, some authority that should belong only to "gods".
That power was too magnificent, too... inhuman.
Although it was gently integrated into his system without causing any backlash or side effects, Naruto always retained a sense of awe and caution deep in his heart.
We will never resort to this unless absolutely necessary.
Now, in order to obtain precise coordinates within the Kamui Dimension, coordinates that can serve as beacons for specific locations... he needs to "see," he needs to "know."
A deep blue [ Starry Sky Chakra ], imbued with the aura of the universe, began to surge silently through his meridians, eventually converging and attaching itself to his special right eye.
Against the pitch-black background, the golden, mysterious pupil patterns suddenly accelerated their rotation, radiating brilliant light! Deep within the pupils, what was reflected was no longer the scene of the secret chamber, but a constantly flowing and stretching dazzling star map and torrent of data.
"Boom--!!!!!!!"
At the same moment, outside the Ninja World, in the deep and boundless void of the universe.
It is located approximately 79 light-years from Earth, in the direction of the Leo.
The star that Naruto chose experienced a fleeting, yet intense, energy pulsation that was observable!
Despite being nearly 79 light-years apart, and despite the energy pulsation being insignificant on a cosmic scale, at that specific moment, under Naruto's conscious guidance and amplification, Regulus's visual brightness showed a clearly discernible, brief, and abnormal increase in the night sky of the planet where the Ninja World is located!
In various parts of the Ninja World, in areas where it is night or the sky is gradually darkening.
"Look! In the sky! That star... it's so bright!"
"Was it a shooting star? No... it didn't move."
"What's going on? Two moons?! And they're huge!"
In Konoha Village of the Land of Fire, villagers who had finished a day's work looked up and began to discuss the matter with surprise.
In Sand Village, the Ninja on duty atop the watchtower in the Land of Wind rubbed his eyes violently, wondering if he was hallucinating.
In Kumogakure, the Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning, the Raikage's meeting was interrupted by a subordinate's urgent report of an unusual celestial phenomenon. He walked to the window, his brow furrowed as he gazed at the night sky.
In the Land of Iron, the Land of Hot Water, the Land of Waves... countless civilians and Ninja, if they looked up at this moment, could see in the sky, in the direction of Leo, that star that had suddenly become exceptionally bright, almost overshadowing the moonlight!
In Rain Village--
Outside the tower's secret chamber, the once incessant downpour was forcibly torn apart and dispersed from the thick, leaden clouds that covered the sky!
The clear, long-awaited night sky was revealed, and in the center of that sky, the light of a star was so dazzling that it quietly sprinkled its silvery-white radiance on the sea surface, which had just experienced a fierce battle and was covered with puddles and wreckage, and also shone into the dim room through the cracks in the broken chamber.
"What... what is that?!"
Startled by the sudden change in the celestial phenomena outside and the vast, inhuman energy surging within her, Konan couldn't help but step outside and gaze at the night sky.
Nagato also struggled to turn his neck. Was this... also his power? Manipulating the heavens!
" Regulus."
Naruto answered their questions.
Also known as Alpha Leo, it is the main star of the Leo and is part of a four-star system.
In ancient astrology, it was called "[the heart of the lion]" and "[the little king]".
This star granted Naruto three divine techniques.
One of them is named -- [ Omniscience ].
[Within the galaxy where Naruto resides, one can freely learn about Naruto wants to know, that have already happened, are happening, or are related to existence itself.]
Secondly, [ Manifestation of All Things ]
[--It means "to manifest all things in the Manifestation of All Things an unhindered grace"]
[This technique is not about "creation" or "imitation," but rather a "idealistic law" that directly overlays the user's "mental landscape" onto reality.]
[Cognition is existence: whatever a user can clearly conceive of (including form, properties, rules, and causality), the world will accept it as an "established fact."]
Thirdly, [ the Unreachable Place ]
[By setting the attacker to a coordinate system where "there is no point of attack," any attack logically requires a process "from A to B," but the Unreachable Place removes point B (the target point) from this process logically. Any attack, lacking the "destination point," automatically disintegrates into something that "never happened."]
(This is an invincible story. This book has this style from beginning to end. The author sets the protagonist up to be the kind of person who can treat the God of the Otsutsuki like he's just a nobody, making it impossible for Boruto: Naruto Next Generations betray him.)
