"This must be the place!"
Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki pinched up a small clump of dirt from the ground, held it beneath his nose, and sniffed. Then he casually flicked it away.
He hadn't joined Urashiki and Kinshiki in attacking the site of Hiruko's ritual.
Compared with wiping out Ōtsutsuki Isshiki's forces, he was more concerned with the Chakra Fruit. Following the faint traces it had left behind, he'd quickly found the place where Shinji had cultivated a second Chakra Fruit.
Looking at the deep pit left by the Divine Tree and breathing in the lingering fragrance of the Chakra Fruit, he curled his lips into a smile, his eyes filled with greed.
He could tell that a Chakra Fruit had been cultivated on this planet, right here, not long ago. And since Kaguya Otsutsuki was still sealed away, it was obvious who had the fruit now.
"Isshiki."
Momoshiki's expression gradually turned sinister.
As far as he was concerned, if Isshiki knew what was good for him and handed over the Chakra Fruit, Momoshiki might consider sparing him. After all, there weren't many members of the Otsutsuki Clan left.
But if Isshiki refused to listen, Momoshiki wouldn't show him any mercy, even if the Otsutsuki Clan was dwindling. To the Otsutsuki Clan, nothing mattered more than power. They had reached their current heights by constantly plundering!
Just as Momoshiki was considering how to find Isshiki, who was in hiding, the steady sound of footsteps came from far away.
Momoshiki turned toward the sound.
He could sense how calm the person was from the rhythm of their steps. He was curious: who on this planet would approach him so unhurriedly?
Soon, he spotted a figure emerging from the distant woods: a mysterious person wearing a hooded Red Cloud outfit and a Fox Mask.
