Otsutsuki Momoshiki

"How's it going in the Land of Fields?"

Konoha, Black Zetsu, disguised as Danzo, looked at the documents while asking White Zetsu a question out of curiosity.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi has gone to the Land of Fields, it seems that to prevent Danzo from causing trouble, Shikaku Nara and Two Advisors are now in charge of Konoha.

Black Zetsu was somewhat speechless after learning all this; just how unpopular was he?

Why should I be so wary of my old classmate?

However, this suited him perfectly; he was there to train Hyuga Makoto, not to seize power in Konoha.

If he could, he would even like to go to the Land of Fields, but unfortunately he can't just wander around.

"The situation over there doesn't seem to be very good."

White Zetsu scratched his head, seemingly organizing his thoughts, which puzzled Black Zetsu.

"Not good? What's not good? Who died?"

The person wasn't dead, but the place was demolished...

White Zetsu sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"The one that got demolished was me. It's all Obito's and that Hyuga Makoto's fault."

"What's the meaning?"

Black Zetsu was taken aback by these words, but his expression changed drastically the next moment.

"Could it be that Nagato used your body to recover?!"

"Yes."

White Zetsu nodded, completely oblivious to Black Zetsu's terrified gaze, and continued rambling on.

"Obito knew that he used my clone to repair Juzo Biwa and Uchiha Itachi, and Hyuga Makoto is really annoying, stirring things up from the sidelines."

"What's the meaning...

Black Zetsu's lips trembled slightly, while White Zetsu remained indifferent.

"Hyuga Makoto said that Nagato couldn't unleash his full power, and that he was like a mouse without using his true form, so..."

66

"He asked me for a favor, and then he disassembled me and put me back on himself."

"But that Hyuga Makoto is amazing!"

"Nagato has been forced to use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path."

"Hiss!"

Upon hearing this, Black Zetsu, whose mentality was already somewhat broken, turned ashen-faced.

Nagato was extremely special; he possessed both the bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan and the bloodline of the Senju Clan.

This is why he was able to become the owner of the Rinnegan and undertake the task of restoring the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

Even if he truly believed that regardless of whether Nagato obtained the White Zetsu Cells, the outcome against the Otsutsuki would be the same.

But if Nagato were to fully recover, it wouldn't be good if he got out of control.

Fortunately, Nagato did not request any further recovery, which relieved him.

But when he turned around, he heard this news?

What made him even more uneasy was that this guy had actually used the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?!

"Is he crazy...?"

Black Zetsu's lips trembled slightly, and his fists hardened.

Why did he use the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path? Why didn't Obito stop him?

"Because Obito isn't having an easy time either..."

White Zetsu opened his mouth, but Black Zetsu had truly lost his composure.

"No matter how bad things get, we can't let the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path appear. Doesn't it know the Nucleus Organization exists?"

He knew...

"Do you know why we didn't involve the Nucleus Organization and the Shinobi World in the operation?"

"Because we lost too quickly."

Hearing White Zetsu's reply, Black Zetsu felt utterly exhausted and could only sigh.

"Let them leave quickly, it's pointless."

"I'm afraid it's too late now."

White Zetsu simply blinked, instantly shattering Black Zetsu's illusion.

"Because the Nucleus Organization has arrived."

Who is coming?

"Yes, it's that Person from the Heavens you were talking about."

"Hiss...

"That is, the father of the Sage of Six Paths."

66

In that instant, Black Zetsu lost all emotion, and even Danzo no longer wanted to continue pretending.

Because he only had one thought in mind: to strangle this bastard.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path roared madly, and the immense Chakra it unleashed sent shivers down everyone's spines.

"What is that?!"

When everyone turned their gaze toward the Otogakure, they immediately saw a monster even larger than Tailed Beast!

This monster had nine closed eyes, its dry skin was grayish-brown like tree bark, and its back had many protrusions like wooden stakes.

The monster's body continued to expand, and its aura grew stronger and stronger!

"Is this another Akatsuki Organization tactic?"

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from this monster, the ninjas from all the major ninja villages trembled with fear.

"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?!"

On the Akatsuki Organization side, everyone except Obito was also taken aback by what they saw.

Having visited the Land of Rain base, they were quite familiar with this thing.

Before this, they all thought it was an ordinary giant statue, because it really had no aura and no trace of life.

To their utter surprise, this thing had such a ferocious side.

"What's going on? Why are they even using the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path?"

Obito's expression changed slightly upon seeing the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, even though everyone else knew they might take action against the Tailed Beast in the future.

But before the plan was announced, neither he nor Nagato mentioned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to either of them.

But he never expected that Nagato would be forced to use this move!

And what's even more critical is...

"Has he gone mad? The Nucleus Organization is right here! He's asking for death!"

Obito's face turned pale; he had clearly thought the same thing as Black Zetsu.

The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path the shell of the Ten-Tails. If the legend is true, this thing really belongs to that guy.

Then, that Person from the Heavens is probably—

Without the slightest hesitation, Obito activated Kamui, intending to head towards Nagato.

But in that instant, his face turned even paler!

They were surprised to find that the space had become somewhat chaotic, and the Chakra around them had also become somewhat abnormal.

"Could it be—"

Obito looked up in disbelief. Not only him, but everyone felt a chill run down their spines at that moment.

It was an indescribable sense of oppression, a feeling of being scrutinized.

This feeling suffocated them; it was even more intense than the appearance of the monster!

What's going on?

Ōnoki couldn't help but murmur, Rasa stared blankly at the sky.

"What exactly is that...?"

"Lord Hitoshi, Yugito..."

Samui and Darui stared in astonishment at Killer B and Yugito, both of them wearing expressions of pain.

Not only that, the Tailed Beast Chakra within them suddenly erupted, as if they were trembling!

"Little Eight, what's wrong?"

Killer B, watching the trembling Eight-Tails in his inner world, couldn't help but ask, but the Eight-Tails completely ignored him.

Yugito experienced the same thing; it was the first time she had ever seen the Two-Tails, and she reacted like a frightened kitten with its fur standing on end, filled with only silent fear.

"Was it that Nucleus Organization that made the move?"

Genji also looked up at the sky, and he could vaguely see a figure emerging.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also looked incredulous, but he noticed Orochimaru's gleaming eyes not far away. After a moment of contemplation, he asked.

"Orochimaru, what's going on?"

Orochimaru paused for a moment upon hearing this question. Hyuga Makoto had gone to deal with Pain, he had naturally been left behind.

Although he had to face his teachers and classmates, he found that he didn't get beaten up much because of Hyuga Makoto.

Because he was there, he was spared from being affected by that terrifying power.

This question, however, troubled Orochimaru somewhat, and after a while, he licked his lips and smiled.

"I'm afraid this isn't the answer you want to hear, and I don't know the specifics either."

"What do you mean by this, Orochimaru?"

Jiraiya frowned, but Orochimaru just smiled casually.

"Haven't you met him before? And didn't I talk to you about him last time?"

"We've talked, we've met..."

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

"That guy? He's the Person from the Heavens? Otsutsuki?!"

"What's the meaning?"

Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi both looked over, Jiraiya opened his mouth.

Before he could even speak, a terrifying burst of Chakra suddenly erupted.

The next moment, he was astonished to find that the sky had suddenly been dyed gold.

Along with the shimmering golden light, there was also a playful voice.

"Looks like I was right to let you go last time, because you always manage to surprise me."

The sound wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

The instant the sound faded, golden light surged forth and slashed towards the monster.

At that moment, everyone realized that the golden luster was actually a hundred-meter-long Light Sword!

The golden Light Sword hummed, and as the blade fell, the earth rumbled.

Hyuga Makoto had no intention of wasting words with Nagato; his eyes were now completely Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

This time, he used his true form to instill fear in the entire Shinobi World.

"The most valuable thing to me is the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!"

Actually, he himself also had Demonic Statue of the Outer Path; the Ten-Tails ' husk was still lying quietly inside him, happily absorbing his Chakra.

Strictly speaking, this pace isn't slow, but he hopes the efficiency can be increased.

"At least, you should have one eye fully open..."

In order to allow his Ten-Tails Husk to undergo better changes and growth, he thought long and hard and finally could only set his sights on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

"After all, it's the power of the Ten-Tails, and Nagato has nurtured it for so many years; we can't let it go to waste!"

As he pondered, he became even more ruthless, and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path roared and swung its arms to meet the golden sword in his hand.

The moment the two forces collided, the earth shattered, and a bottomless canyon spread wildly from behind the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

The buildings around it collapsed in large swathes, even the tall steel towers crumbled and fell to the ground like withered branches.

Two distant mountain peaks also broke apart simultaneously from the impact of the force.

Their cuts were smooth, and half of the mountain fell to the ground with a loud bang, triggering a significant earthquake!

This scene left everyone speechless.

"What kind of power is this?"

What's even more unbelievable to them is that the monster actually withstood such an attack.

"Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right?"

But soon, their expressions turned strange.

The monster was so enormous that its golden form seemed like a tiny speck of light.

But inexplicably, that's what they think...

"Oh?"

Hyuga Makoto raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that his sword strike had been blocked by the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

However, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was also suffering. Under this sword strike, its body, which was already like a withered tree, now showed signs of...

How many cracks are there!

Those large hands were teetering on the brink of collapse, as if they were just a hair's breadth away from completely crumbling.

"This thing is seriously hard..."

Hyuga Makoto couldn't help but think to himself, "It's normal for it to be a bit tough as the Ten-Tails Husk."

"But how come I remember that after it became God Tree, even a third-generation old man could shatter its vines with a single blow?"

Although he didn't understand what was going on, he didn't care.

Driven by him, the golden Light Sword once again hurtled towards the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path!

"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path let out a mournful cry, but being controlled by Nagato, it could only stretch out its hands to fight back once more."

With a bang, the golden Light Sword slashed through the air, and one of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path ' arms was almost severed!

The massive body was thrown to the ground in a sorry state, and the already devastated Otogakure suffered another heavy blow.

"Nagato ----"

Inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Konan looked at Nagato with worry, completely bewildered by what was happening.

Just now, disregarding the physical adjustment required, Nagato frantically summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path and dragged her inside.

Before she could even ask, she felt a suffocating atmosphere, which froze her completely.

She's recovered now, but what they seem to be facing is an even more terrifying existence!

"Don't panic, I'm here for you."

Nagato's face was a little pale at this moment, but he still spoke seriously.

He knew that summoning the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path at this time was not appropriate, because the Nucleus Organization was observing the battle.

And the legend is true, so this guy definitely won't let it go, but that's his goal!

He struggled to his feet, controlling the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and gazed at the figure floating in the sky, radiating brilliant golden light. A smile appeared on his pale face.

"Thank you so much, you so-called ' Person from the Heavens '."

"?"

Hyuga Makoto was about to draw his sword and continue his attack, he was stunned when he suddenly heard Nagato's words.

Thank me?

What are you thanking me for?

Quickly cut off the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path's hand!

"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path is indeed able to attract you, and it was precisely because of your arrival that I was able to resolve a minor but significant problem."

Nagato was still a little out of breath, but he stared at Hyuga Makoto and spoke in a deep voice.

"Moreover, I've achieved my goal; after all, you can no longer hide in the shadows!"

Hyuga Makoto was somewhat confused; he couldn't quite grasp Nagato's thought process for a moment.

But soon, he seemed to realize what was going on.

Nagato probably felt that his newly repaired body couldn't withstand Hyuga Makoto's attack.

The appearance of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path can both protect Konan and expose the Otsutsuki clan to the public, truly killing two Otsutsuki with one stone!

only..

"Isn't this exactly what I wanted?"

Hyuga Makoto was somewhat amused and exasperated. Looking at the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path before him, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I must say, you're quite an interesting fellow; your words and actions always bring me some amusement."

"Pleasure?"

Nagato seemed somewhat confused, while Hyuga Makoto slowly and deliberately spoke while channeling his Chakra.

"That's right, it's all about fun. I'm curious about one thing: why do you think I have to hide it?"

This question startled Nagato, and the Chakra within Hyuga Makoto began to surge.

The booming Chakra Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

"But that's normal; your vision is always limited to things that are similar to you or smaller than you."

Hyuga Makoto remained calm, his gaze sweeping across the entire battlefield before he slowly spoke.

"Once you have to look up, you're likely to see something unknown and frightening."

As he spoke, his gaze fell once again on the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, his pale golden eyes seeming to see through everything!

"And I've always been here, it's just that you've never looked up to see me."

Hyuga Makoto's words instilled a strange fear in Nagato, and not only him, but also the other ninjas from various villages who were watching felt a sense of unease.

They didn't quite understand what those words meant, but the unease and fear they felt were very real!

"Just like now..."

But as everyone pondered, Hyuga Makoto spoke again.

"You don't seem to have noticed that something's wrong with what's protecting you."

"Um?"

Nagato was stunned for a moment, but his expression changed drastically the next instant.

He was astonished to discover that the space inside the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path seemed to be constantly being compressed!

Everything around him began to shrink, even the Black Rod stuck behind him that absorbed his Chakra started to thin out.

An inexplicable sense of oppression and suffocation constantly surrounded them, making them feel as if they were about to be crushed!

Damn it...

Nagato gritted his teeth and continued to control the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, but he was powerless to change anything.

He could sense that the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was still under his control, but it was being forcibly shrunk by an unknown force!

This made him realize that if he didn't leave soon, he and Konan would both perish here.

"Follow behind me, but be careful!"

Nagato gave a low shout, then forcibly opened the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.

The moment he opened it, his body was instantly covered in black sticks!

Nagato...

Konan immediately wrapped Nagato in Paper Release, then spread her wings to carry Nagato away.

Before she could even take flight, the mouth of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path seemed to compress and close, becoming too small to allow them to escape in the blink of an eye!

"I must say, you did bring me some joy, but..."

Hyuga Makoto's voice slowly rang out, and the golden luster was dazzling at that moment.

"You're nothing but a pathetic buffoon, so goodbye."

The next instant, the golden Tenseigan unleashed even greater power.

Under the force of compression and distortion, the body of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path began to slowly collapse.

From a distance, the body of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path to be of varying sizes, with strange tearing that has left it covered in cracks.

Just then, Hyuga Makoto swung his golden longsword.

"But before you die, it's better if you know who killed you."

In an instant, a vast storm swept over the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and also swept over everyone!

"Retreat quickly..."

At this moment, even the ninjas who were watching could no longer bear it. They immediately retreated and set up defenses.

If they run any slower, they're really going to die here!

"The Demonic Statue of the Outer Path let out an even more miserable wail, its body already compressed by an inexplicable force."

Now it's been hit hard from the front; even if it's incredibly tough, it can't withstand the blow.

With a deafening roar, it collapsed heavily to its knees.

Its half-body, including its arm, was completely severed by the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and the distortion caused by that strange power!

"Remember my name..."

As the severed torso crashed heavily to the ground, Hyuga Makoto's cold voice echoed softly.

"Otsutsuki Momoshiki"
