Crossing the Cosmos

"The Moon Otsutsuki Clan?"

The message brought by the light made Kazan stop what he was doing.

So much time had passed that he had almost forgotten that descendants of Hamura Otsutsuki still existed on the moon.

"Have all the imprints disappeared?" he asked.

"No, some still exist."

That means the lunar war had just broken out, and the Main Family and the Branch Family had not yet determined a victor.

That's right, Toneri hasn't come to steal Hanabi's eyes yet, and his "Adam and Eve"-like plan hasn't been launched.

"Kazan!"

At this moment, Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi also arrived.

The existence of the Ōtsutsuki Clan on the moon is no secret, Hyuga Hiashi has told everyone everything he knows.

What brings you here?

"Is it true that something happened to the Moon Otsutsuki Clan?"

Minato cut to the chase without any preamble.

They had already witnessed the power of the Otsutsuki firsthand, and they also learned from Kazan and the Hyuga Clan about the Otsutsuki's attitude towards humans on Earth.

This matter concerns not only the Otsutsuki on the moon, but also all of humanity on Earth.

"Was it Kaguya Otsutsuki's breaking of her seal that drew their attention?"

"Pretty close."

Kazan replied, and those few simple words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

"Kazan, please allow me to make that trip; I will persuade them."

Hyuga Hiashi volunteered to try and persuade the people on the moon.

The Hyuga and the Moon Otsutsuki both originated from Hamura Otsutsuki, essentially branches of the same family, and are closely related.

It would be most appropriate for him to step forward.

at the same time.

In the dark and frigid universe, a great war is unfolding on the moon.

Hamura Otsutsuki landed on the moon a thousand years ago and served as a guardian, protecting the seal of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Today, the lunar lineage is divided into the Main Family and the Branch Family.

Over time, the Main Family and the Branch Family have come to have different interpretations of the ancestral precepts.

The Main Family believes that the ancestral teachings are to protect the Earth and have no right to interfere with humanity on Earth.

The Branch Family believes that, rather than protecting, they should be the ones who explore and understand the Earth.

Now, the humans on Earth have broken the seal on Kaguya Otsutsuki, which is digging their own grave. The humans on Earth are beyond redemption and must be completely wiped out and rebuilt.

"Why are you so determined to destroy the Earth? Is this the outcome you want?"

On the battlefield, members of the Main Family roared angrily.

This war should never have happened, but it did, and it caused massive casualties as soon as it broke out.

Their own people, who shared the same bloodline, died one after another, killed by their own kind.

"This is the legacy of our ancestors; we are merely bringing new life to the world," the Chief of the Branch Family roared.

For a thousand years, the world created by the Sage of Six Paths has been plagued by endless wars and has never truly been at peace. Now, even the seal on Kaguya Otsutsuki has been broken.

If things continue like this, they will only destroy themselves. Rather than let them perish, it would be better for their descendants in Yucun to wipe them out and then create a New World.

The Byakugan's power erupted, and ninjas from the main family and branch family clashed repeatedly.

The same Byakugan used, but the Moon lineage did not use the Gentle Fist; the power of their techniques was incomparable, and they clashed fiercely inside the Moon.

"I will not let you succeed. Our ancestors' teachings are to protect the Earth!"

The Main Family Chief roared in anger and acted with utmost decisiveness, causing a Small Mountain to crash down.

However, since both sides share the same blood, their fighting strength is roughly equal, making it difficult to determine a winner.

Even if one side ultimately wins, it will inevitably be a Pyrrhic victory.

"Hmph, you can't stop me. The ancestral teachings will be carried out by us."

As they spoke, a massive surge of energy erupted from the separated formations.

The Main Family's Ninja opened all their Byakugan, and upon looking over, they saw a huge, jewel-like eye.

"Tenseigan! Are you all insane?!"

The Main Family members were shocked.

What appeared before them was the Giant Tenseigan, a treasure of the lunar lineage.

It is not Tenseigan formed by fusing with the Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan Earth, which is of extremely high purity, but Giant Tenseigan formed by the condensation of countless Byakugan of the Moon Otsutsuki Clan.

You actually slaughtered your own people!

"Slaughter? This is our will, our determination to guide world peace. Witness our Branch Family!"

The enormous Tenseigan rotated, emitting a blinding purple light.

"Watch out!" The Chief the Main Family's expression changed. The power of the Tenseigan was undoubtedly terrifying; a single strike could destroy the moon.

On the other side.

Konoha of Hyuga Hiashi plans to go to the moon to find out what happened and persuade the Moon Otsutsuki Clan.

He knew the people of the moon too well, especially the Branch Family, who had a high opinion of themselves and believed they were the protectors of Earth and had the power to control it.

If war breaks out at this time, it will almost certainly lead to the Branch Family factions.

The reason is not hard to guess; it is definitely related to the Fourth Shinobi World War.

For generations, they have guarded the seal of Kaguya Otsutsuki, while also bearing the heavy responsibility of protecting humanity on Earth. Yet, the humans on Earth have actually broken the seal on Kaguya —it's practically defying the heavens!

"How are you going to talk to them?" Hiruzen Sarutobi sideways.

"When our ancestors moved to the moon to guard the seal of Kaguya Otsutsuki for generations, they left behind a special passage. I can use this passage to quickly reach the moon."

As expected, Hyuga Hiashi was referring to the portal where Naruto landed on the moon in the Movie.

It involves Space-Time Ninjutsu, allowing for rapid travel to the moon.

but...

"It's too slow. I'll go myself. Everyone, step back a bit."

Kazan decided to go there himself; who knows, he might be able to deal with the Moon Otsutsuki Clan and accomplish something else along the way.

"Let Hiashi accompany you; only he knows where that passage is, and his identity is more suitable."

"No need, I can go by myself. I have my own direct route to the moon."

Everyone was puzzled. Could it be that besides the teleportation channel left by Hamura Otsutsuki, Kazan had discovered other, even faster channels?

Just as Hyuga Hiashi was puzzled, Kazan shouted, "Kurama!"

He then entered the Nine-Tails ' Chakra mode, his entire body enveloped in Golden Light as he soared into the air.

Kazan hadn't forgotten the destruction Saitama caused when he bounced back to Earth from the moon, so he didn't dare exert his power on the ground because he couldn't withstand it.

However, when he burst forth from the air, transforming into a Golden Light that shot straight into the sky, the resulting shockwave still tore through the land.

"Boom!"

An unimaginable power erupted from the Back Mountain of the Hokage, and the entire Konoha seemed to be shaking.

Everyone, including the light, was blown away by the shockwave created when Kazan activated his powers.

Then, they were dumbfounded.

"This..."

Kazan's so-called portal is actually a direct route from Earth to the Moon?

"Kazan!" Guang shouted nervously.

For them, everything in the universe was unknown, and they were unaware of the dangers that existed there, but her voice could no longer be heard.

Kazan was too fast; he broke through the clouds in the blink of an eye, showing no sign of slowing down.

This is insane!

Everyone was terrified. Even the Hamura Otsutsuki, who moved to the moon a thousand years ago, needed to use Space-Time Ninjutsu, but Kazan traversed the universe in his physical body.

"Pfft~"

At this moment, Kazan had already broken out of the atmosphere and entered the vast universe.

It was cold here, and the surrounding silence was unsettling, creating an atmosphere of extreme loneliness.

Kazan looked back down at his feet; this was Earth, the planet he lived on, a blue planet.

He didn't stop; he transformed into a golden beam of light, traversing the universe and crashing straight into the moon.

The Observation Haki had detected the life force of the Moon Otsutsuki Clan. As expected, war had broken out, and a violent Chakra fluctuation was gathering.

"Is it Giant Tenseigan?"

Kazan muttered to himself, then accelerated and charged in.

In this dark and vast universe, his light was truly insignificant; after a fleeting moment, it was swallowed by the darkness.

A moment later, with a loud "boom," a large hole was torn open on the surface of the moon, Kazan fell like a comet, crashing into the center of the battlefield.

"Boom!"

The ground shattered, and screams erupted everywhere. Hundreds of the Moon Otsutsuki Clan Ninja from the moon were blasted into the air by the force of Kazan's landing.

"Ah!"
