At the border of the Land of Rivers, two figures raced forward. Above them, the Second Tsuchikage appeared without a sound.
Watching them from the sky, Fugaku saw two members of the Otsutsuki through the Second Tsuchikage's eyes.
Their appearance surprised him. They had Byakugan, but no forehead protectors and none of the Caged Bird marks unique to the Hyuga.
They're Otsutsuki from the moon, Fugaku realized. The disturbance just now had probably alerted them.
But Fugaku had never thought much of the Otsutsuki on the moon. They bore the name, but they were no match for the true Otsutsuki who roamed the universe.

Just then, a massive beam of white light shot
