Clearing Obstacles

Just as Uchiha Chen was preparing to strike again and make the Otsutsuki brothers pay a heavy price for the sins they had committed a thousand years ago, a piercing cry tore through the sky and reached his ears.

The voice came from Kaguya. Her face filled with terror as she cried, "My husband—watch out!"

In Kaguya's eyes, Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki appeared beside Uchiha Chen like ghosts, completely without a sound.

This sudden turn of events caught Uchiha Chen completely off guard.

"Damn you, Uchiha Chen, die—Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei!" With Hagoromo Otsutsuki's furious roar, one of his hands closed in on Uchiha Chen's body, while Hamura Otsutsuki approached him from another direction.

Seeing that Uchiha Chen was about to be completely sealed by the technique that had once sealed their mother, both Otsutsuki brothers revealed excited, exhilarated expressions.

In fact, from the moment Uchiha Chen threw his first punch, the meticulous Hagoromo Otsutsuki had already anticipated that a relentless barrage of attacks would follow.

Therefore, he made a swift decision and used Six Paths Sage Techniques to split his body in two. One clone remained where it was, using a false body to endure all of Uchiha Chen's subsequent attacks, while his true body concealed itself in secret, waiting for an opportunity.

After receiving his elder brother's covert signal, Hamura Otsutsuki did the same, creating a substitute to deceive Uchiha Chen.

In this way, the two successfully avoided Uchiha Chen's edge. Then, while he shattered the earth once more and his attention was divided, they swiftly transformed into two inconspicuous stones and silently fell to the ground.

Then, taking advantage of the surrounding chaos, they approached Uchiha Chen's body without anyone noticing.

Earlier, Uchiha Chen had been wholly immersed in the ultimate thrill of every punch landing
