A new world under sun and moon, unbound by convention!

Already gravely wounded, Xuanhuang had his remaining power drained dry by Subichini and died with his eyes wide open. Deprived of their light, his Byakugan turned a desolate black!

Orochimaru stepped forward and gazed at Xuanhuang's corpse as though it were a treasure trove. "Riu... could you give me this Ōtsutsuki Branch Family member's body? If things go well, I should be able to uncover a fraction of the Ōtsutsuki's power!"

Riu smiled. "That would be wonderful..."

Yomotsu Hirasaka opened, and Yu and Orochimaru disappeared from the Netherworld of the Nine Abysses.

Several minutes later... Yomotsu Hirasaka opened again. A man stepped out, his skin pale and his long blue-white hair tied in a high ponytail. He had no eyebrows, two round dots on his forehead, and two horns shaped like a Forehead Protector on his head.

A red fishing basket hung at his waist, and a red fishing rod rested on his back. With that somewhat casual air, who could he be but Urashiki Otsutsuki?

Urashiki was Ryushiki's subordinate and ranked ninety-fifth in strength within the Main Family. (In this story, Urashiki was nowhere near as weak as he was in Boruto.) Upon detecting the destruction of the Soul-Sealing Tower, Ryushiki had sent Urashiki to investigate.

Bzz!

The Six-Tomoe Rinnegan in Urashiki's eyes changed into Byakugan as he surveyed the devastated Netherworld of the Nine Abysses. "Well, well, what a mess..."

Urashiki stopped before a patch of blood. "That kid Xuanhuang didn't even leave a corpse behind? His strength was quite respectable among the Branch Family, and his Byakugan was no inferior in quality to the Main Family's. What a shame..."

"But the most promising member of the Branch Family isn't in Takamagahara. He's stranded on Earth's moon, in the northwestern reaches of Reed Plain Country—a brat named Toneri.
