The Otsutsuki Threat

Konoha Village has enjoyed peace for a year now.

The streets are bustling with pedestrians, their faces brimming with happy smiles.

The Uchiha clan has become the core strength of Konoha, no longer ostracized or discriminated against.

Xingye sits by the window of the Hokage office, gazing at the streets below, lost in thought.

Although the ninja world has returned to peace, Xingye knows that the danger has not been completely eliminated.

The Otsutsuki clan still has other members.

Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki, and Toneri—the strength of these powerhouses is no less than Kaguya.

If they come to Earth, the ninja world will face an even greater crisis.

"Xingye," the Third Hokage walks in, "what are you thinking about?"

Xingye snaps back to reality: "Third Hokage, I am thinking about the Otsutsuki clan."

"Kaguya has been subdued, but the Otsutsuki clan still has other members."

"They might come to Earth, and we must be fully prepared."

The Third Hokage sighs: "The Otsutsuki clan is indeed the greatest threat to the ninja world."

"However, we have just gone through a great war and need time to recover."

Xingye nods: "I know."

"But we cannot let our guard down."

"I will continue to train and improve my strength, while simultaneously establishing an intelligence network to monitor the movements of the Otsutsuki clan."

The Third Hokage nods: "Xingye, you have done well."

"With you here, the future of Konoha will surely be even brighter."

Just then, the system's notification sound rings out.

[System Notification: Powerful chakra fluctuations detected]
[Target: Otsutsuki Momoshiki, Otsutsuki Kinshiki]
[Distance: Outside Earth's atmosphere]
[Threat Level: Mythical]

Xingye's expression changes: "Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki have arrived."

The Third Hokage's face turns grave: "What? They arrived so soon?"

Xingye nods: "The system indicates they are currently outside Earth's atmosphere."

"They may enter Earth at any moment."

The Third Hokage: "Xingye, what is your plan?"

Xingye says: "I need to notify the major ninja villages immediately."

"Have them prepare for battle; a major war could break out at any time."

"At the same time, I need to head outside the atmosphere to stop them from entering Earth."

The Third Hokage: "Xingye, it is too dangerous for you to go alone."

"We should have the Five Kage and the Shinobi Allied Forces act together."

Xingye shakes his head: "No, Third Hokage."

"The strength of Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki far exceeds our imagination."

"If we let them enter Earth, it will cause irreparable damage to the planet."

"I need to intercept them before they enter Earth."

The Third Hokage ponders for a moment, then finally nods: "Xingye, be careful."

"If you encounter danger, return to Earth immediately."

Xingye nods: "Rest assured, Third Hokage."

"I will not gamble with my own life."

Xingye turns and leaves the office, heading toward the edge of Earth's atmosphere.

Outside Earth's atmosphere.

Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki stand in space, looking at the blue planet before them.

A greedy smile spreads across Momoshiki's face: "Kinshiki, look, this is Earth."

"A planet filled with chakra, just like a giant God Tree fruit."

Kinshiki nods silently: "Lord Momoshiki, our goal is to seize the chakra of Earth."

"At the same time, we shall turn the people of this planet into White Zetsu to increase our power."

Momoshiki nods: "Exactly."

"Mother has been sealed; we need more chakra to resurrect her."

"The chakra of Earth is exactly what we need to help us."

Just then, the figure of Uchiha Xingye appeared before the two of them.

"Otsutsuki Momoshiki, Otsutsuki Kinshiki," Uchiha Xingye said indifferently, "this is not a place you should have come to."

"Leave Earth immediately, or I will eliminate you all."

Momoshiki looked at Uchiha Xingye in surprise: "Uchiha Xingye? You are actually capable of reaching outer space?"

"And, you actually possess Otsutsuki chakra on your body?"

Uchiha Xingye said: "I not only have Otsutsuki chakra, but also the power of Kaguya."

"Momoshiki, Kinshiki, your goal is to seize the chakra of Earth to resurrect Kaguya."

"However, Kaguya has already decided to abandon the Infinite Tsukuyomi and protect the Shinobi World together with us."

Momoshiki's expression changed: "What? Kaguya has actually betrayed us?"

Kinshiki also revealed a look of astonishment: "Lord Momoshiki, what is going on here?"

Uchiha Xingye said indifferently: "Kaguya did not betray; she chose the correct path."

"The Infinite Tsukuyomi is not peace, but a new hell."

"Kaguya understood this point, so she chose to cooperate with us to jointly protect the Shinobi World."

Momoshiki sneered: "Uchiha Xingye, do you think you can convince me with this?"

"The mission of the Otsutsuki clan is to seize the chakra of every planet to resurrect Mother."

"This is our destiny, and it cannot be changed."

Uchiha Xingye shook his head: "No, Momoshiki."

"The mission of the Otsutsuki clan is not to seize chakra, but to protect the Shinobi World."

"You have been deceived by Kaguya's lies all along."

"Kaguya does not need to be resurrected; she needs to be protected."

Momoshiki's expression changed: "Uchiha Xingye, what do you know?"

"Mother created the God Tree; the God Tree was meant to provide chakra to the Shinobi World, not to seize it."

Uchiha Xingye said: "I know."

"Kaguya created the God Tree so that the people of the Shinobi World could obtain chakra and improve their strength."

"However, her methods were wrong."

"The Infinite Tsukuyomi is not peace, but a new hell."

Momoshiki sneered: "Uchiha Xingye, you speak well."

"However, Mother's plan will not change because of a few words from you."

"Since you are stopping us from seizing chakra, then we can only eliminate you first."

Momoshiki and Kinshiki launched an attack simultaneously, charging straight at Uchiha Xingye.

The battle erupted.

Momoshiki formed hand seals with both hands, launching a powerful ninjutsu.

"Rinnegan: Dojutsu!"

A massive Rinnegan appeared in the sky, and countless chakra needles shot toward Uchiha Xingye.

Uchiha Xingye was unhurried, his Rinnegan slowly opening.

"Shinra Tensei!"

A massive repulsive force spread outward with Uchiha Xingye at the center, deflecting all the chakra needles.

Momoshiki looked at Uchiha Xingye in surprise: "Shinra Tensei? You are actually capable of using Shinra Tensei?"

Uchiha Xingye said indifferently: "I can not only use Shinra Tensei, but I can also use the other techniques of the Rinnegan."

"Momoshiki, although your strength is not weak, you are still no match for me."

Momoshiki sneered: "Is that so? Then let's see."

Momoshiki launched a ninjutsu again, this time even more violently.

"Rinnegan: Chibaku Tensei!"

Huge rocks gathered from space, forming a massive meteorite that smashed toward Uchiha Xingye.

Uchiha Xingye felt no fear; instead, he revealed a smile.

"Chibaku Tensei? I can do that too."

Uchiha Xingye formed hand seals with both hands, launching the Six Paths: Chibaku Tensei.

Nine Truth-Seeking Balls rotated in the air, forming a massive gravitational field.

Momoshiki's meteor was drawn toward the Truth-Seeking Ball, gradually disintegrating under the influence of the gravitational field.

Momoshiki's expression shifted: "What? You are actually capable of using Truth-Seeking Ball?"

"Furthermore, your Chibaku Tensei is even more powerful than mine."

Xingye said indifferently: "I possess the divinity of the Otsutsuki, as well as the Creation Power: Light Style."

"To me, Chibaku Tensei is merely a common ninjutsu."

Momoshiki sneered: "Xingye, do not think this is enough to defeat me."

"I still have even more powerful ninjutsu."

Momoshiki unleashed his legendary ultimate ninjutsu.

"Otsutsuki Chakra Devour!"

Momoshiki's body began to glow, and a massive amount of chakra was drawn out from within Xingye's body.

Xingye felt his chakra draining rapidly, his body gradually growing weak.

"Damn it," Xingye gritted his teeth, "Momoshiki's Otsutsuki Chakra Devour ability is even stronger than I imagined."

Just then, the system's notification chime rang out.

[System Prompt: Otsutsuki Chakra Devour detected]

[Countermeasure: Utilize the power of Karma to reflect the devouring effect]

Xingye felt a surge of joy: "The power of Karma? I understand."

Xingye activated the power of Karma, and the chakra within his body began to rebound.

Momoshiki's body began to turn transparent, and the chakra he had devoured started to flow in reverse.

"Ah--!" Momoshiki let out a painful scream.

"This... what is happening?"

"My chakra is flowing in reverse!"

Xingye watched the suffering Momoshiki and said calmly: "Momoshiki, your Otsutsuki Chakra Devour ability is indeed very strong."

"However, the power of my Karma far exceeds your imagination."

Momoshiki gnashed his teeth: "Xingye... you..."

Xingye ignored Momoshiki and continued his assault.

"Creation Power: Light Style!"

A dazzling radiance erupted from Xingye, surging straight toward Momoshiki.

Before Momoshiki could react, he was struck by the Light Style, and his body began to collapse.

"No--!" Momoshiki let out a final scream.

His body turned into countless fragments, vanishing into the cosmos.

Seeing Momoshiki annihilated, Kinshiki's expression changed drastically: "Lord Momoshiki!"

Kinshiki glared at Xingye in fury: "Xingye, I will kill you!"

Kinshiki launched his final attack, charging toward Xingye with all his might.

"Otsutsuki Gold Style!"

Golden chakra needles shot from Kinshiki's hands, forming a dense rain of needles that rained down upon Xingye.

Xingye remained unhurried, activating Light Style: Brilliance Annihilation.

A massive pillar of light soared into the sky, blocking the Gold Style attack.

The power of the light pillar far exceeded Kinshiki's expectations, and his attack was completely neutralized.

Xingye looked at Kinshiki and said calmly: "Kinshiki, Momoshiki has already been eliminated; surrender."

"I can give you a chance to join us and protect the Shinobi World together."

Kinshiki sneered: "Xingye, I am a warrior of the Otsutsuki clan; I will not surrender to you."

"Even if I die, I will drag you down to the grave with me."

Kinshiki unleashed his final ninjutsu, his body beginning to burn as he transformed into a massive bomb.

"Otsutsuki Self-Destruction!"

A colossal explosion resounded through the cosmos, catching Xingye in the blast and sending him flying.

Earth, Konoha Village.

The Third Hokage and the other Kage stood on the roof of the Hokage Building, gazing at the distant sky.

A massive light flickered in the heavens before vanishing from sight.

The Third Hokage's expression was grave: "Xingye, you must be safe."

Raikage: "If anything happens to Xingye, we will never let the Otsutsuki clan off."

Tsuchikage: "Lord Raikage, now is not the time for such talk."

"We must head to the incident site immediately and search for Xingye."

Mizukage: "The Tsuchikage is right."

"Xingye is the Shinobi World's greatest hope; we cannot let anything happen to him."

The various Kage reached a consensus and prepared to head to the incident site to search for Xingye.

In space, after the explosion.

Xingye's body floated in the cosmos, having sustained severe injuries.

The power of Karma was protecting him, repairing his body.

"Damn it," Xingye gritted his teeth, "Kinshiki's self-destruction was far more powerful than I imagined."

"If not for the power of Karma protecting me, I would likely be dead already."

Just then, the system's notification sound rang out.

[System Notification: Otsutsuki chakra fragments detected]

[Absorbing chakra fragments...]

[Power increasing...]

Xingye felt his strength recovering rapidly, becoming even more powerful than before.

[System Notification: Power increase complete]

[Obtained traits: Light of Otsutsuki (Mythical), Power of Creation (Mythical), Divine Protection (Mythical)]

Xingye felt a surge of joy; three mythical-grade traits were priceless.

"With these three mythical-grade traits," Xingye muttered to himself, "my strength will reach its peak."

"No matter how many powerhouses the Otsutsuki clan sends, I will not be afraid."

Xingye activated the space-time ninjutsu of his Rinnegan and returned to Earth.

Earth, Konoha Village.

Xingye's figure appeared on the roof of the Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage and the other Kage looked at Xingye with expressions of surprise and joy.

"Xingye, you've returned!"

"Are you alright?"

Xingye shook his head: "I'm fine, just sustained some minor injuries."

"Momoshiki and Kinshiki have been eliminated by me."

Shock flashed through the eyes of the various Kage.

"Xingye, did you really eliminate Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki?"

"They were mythical-level powerhouses!"

Xingye nodded: "Yes, I eliminated them."

"However, the threat of the Otsutsuki clan has not been lifted."

"There are still powerhouses like Urashiki and Toneri; they may come to Earth."

The various Kage looked grave: "Are Urashiki and Toneri stronger than Momoshiki and Kinshiki?"

Xingye shook his head: "I don't know."

"However, no matter how strong they are, I will do everything in my power to protect Earth."

The various Kage nodded, filled with confidence in Xingye.

Ending

Xingye stood on the roof of the Hokage Building, gazing at the distant sky.

Although Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Kinshiki Otsutsuki had been eliminated, Xingye knew that the danger had not been completely resolved.

The Otsutsuki clan still had other members.

Urashiki and Toneri—the strength of these powerhouses was no less than that of Momoshiki and Kinshiki.

However, Xingye was not afraid.

"Otsutsuki clan," Xingye muttered to himself, "no matter how many powerhouses you send, I will not let you harm Earth."

"This time, I will protect my home and guard those I love."
