"You think you can trap me like this?" Kinshiki's body suddenly erupted with golden Chakra, shaking off the chains and Senjutsu Chakra binding him. The wounds on his chest and legs were still healing, but the healing speed was a little slower than before—the effects of Senjutsu Chakra were still present, reducing his recovery ability.
" Roshi! Hunting! It's your turn!" The voices of the two Kitsuchi came from afar. He placed his hands on the sea surface, and pale green Senjutsu Chakra flowed from his palms into the seabed. " Sage Art: Earth Release: Earth Rising!"
The sea suddenly trembled violently, and more than a dozen huge rock pillars emerged from the sea, separating Kinshiki from the other Ōtsutsuki Clan. Roshi stood on one of the rock pillars, his body wrapped in scorching lava armor, and his pale green Senjutsu Chakra made the lava temperature rise even higher. " Sage Art: Lava Release: Granite!" He leaped into the air, his fist carrying lava as he slammed it toward Kinshiki's chest.
Kari jumped down as well, his fists wrapped in pale green Senjutsu Chakra, each swing triggering a small explosion. " Sage Art: Explosion Release: Landmine Fist!" He punched Kinshiki in the shoulder, the explosion sending Kinshiki staggering back a few steps, black smoke still billowing from the wound on his shoulder.
Kinshiki felt his body growing heavier and heavier, as if countless tiny needles of Senjutsu Chakra were piercing his meridians, slowing his Chakra down. Yet, he gritted his teeth and raised his black staff, slamming it down on Roshi: "I am a warrior of the Ōtsutsuki Clan! How could I possibly lose to you inferior creatures!"
"Inferior creature?" Roshi sneered, blocking the black staff with his arm. Lava flowed down his arm and onto the staff, turning it red-hot. "Don't you even see who's being surrounded and attacked right now!"
Just then, a loud rumbling sound came from afar. The allied forces turned around and saw that several other Ōtsutsuki Clan were also entangled— Tsunade and Jiraiya were suppressing one Ōtsutsuki Clan; Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Fugaku were surrounding and killing another Ōtsutsuki.
"Give it your all, everyone!" Fugaku's voice rang out again. His Kunai in pale green Senjutsu Chakra and black flames, slashed down at a charging Ōtsutsuki Clan. "Their regenerative abilities are strong, but Senjutsu Chakra can severely injure them! If we keep attacking, they'll eventually give out!"
Kinshiki looked at the increasing number of powerful Wild Star cultivators around him, then at his own still-bleeding wounds—though they were still healing, the pace had slowed considerably, and each healing process consumed a large amount of energy. He gritted his teeth, just about to unleash his final ultimate attack, when he felt something poke him in the back.
He turned around and saw that Shikaku Nara's Kageko had wrapped around his leg again, and Inoichi Yamanaka's ultimate move was hitting his head, pale green Senjutsu Chakra pouring into his brain. Inoichi Yamanaka sneered, "You've lost your chance."
"No! I can't lose!" Kinshiki Otsutsuki roared, trying to muster his last bit of Chakra. But just then, Akimichi Chōza's Spiked Human Bullet Tank crashed into him again, sending him flying. The puppets of Chiyo and the other two surrounded him and restrained him. Jinin Akebino's Kubikiribōchō, Raiga Kurosuki's Lightning, Roshi's Lava, Kari's Explosion Release... all the attacks were concentrated on him and bombarded him relentlessly. Kinshiki Otsutsuki's energy was being consumed at an enormous rate.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion shook the sea, sending huge waves crashing across its surface. When the smoke cleared, Kinshiki's body lay on the water, a gaping wound on his chest that was slowly healing, but his eyes had lost their sparkle—his energy was completely depleted.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could rest, they saw several Ōtsutsuki Clan charging towards them in the distance. Fugaku frowned and gripped his Kunai: "Don't relax! There are still enemies! Keep fighting!"
The ninjas immediately rearranged their formation, and pale green Senjutsu Chakra coalesced on the sea surface, resembling a giant array, waiting for the next Ōtsutsuki Clan to charge in. The sea breeze carried the scent of blood and the aroma of Senjutsu Chakra.
On the other side of the barrier, the sea surface still held the blood mist from the Minato Namikaze battle. Minato Namikaze stood on a piece of driftwood, his golden Forehead Protector billowing in the sea breeze. Pale green Senjutsu Chakra swirled around his palm as he spun Rasengan —a new technique he had developed at Mount Myōboku, combining the Flying Thunder God Technique with Senjutsu. It spun three times faster than a regular Rasengan, and the Chakra contained Immortal Power capable of suppressing the Ōtsutsuki.
" Shinnosuke, Nawaki, cover me!"
As soon as Minato finished speaking, he transformed into a golden lightning bolt, the blade of his specially Kunai gleaming with a faint Senjutsu glow. Almost instantly, he appeared behind an Ōtsutsuki Clan. The Ōtsutsuki Gō sensed the Chakra fluctuations behind him and tried to raise his hand to block with his black rod when Minato's Rasengan was already pressed against his back. " Sage Art: Rasengan Invincible Ascension Seventh Form!"
"Boom!"
A burst of pale green Chakra erupted, sending Momoshiki Otsutsuki staggering forward a few steps. Black smoke billowed from the wound on his back. But before Minato could finish him off, the skin on Momoshiki's back began to twitch, and the wound healed at a visible speed. However, the skin at the healing site was an unnatural pale white— Senjutsu Chakra still lingered in his body, slowing down the recovery process.
"Trying to run? No way!" Senju Nawaki's roar came from the side. He clasped his hands together, and pale green Senjutsu Chakra flowed from his fingertips into the seabed. Suddenly, countless giant trees with sharp spikes emerged from the sea, wrapping around Momoshiki Otsutsuki's limbs like a wildly growing forest. " Sage Art: Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence! These trees are imbued with Immortal Power, let's see how you break free!"
Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't hold back either. He took a deep breath, his chest puffing out like a balloon, and then spewed out a large ball of flame infused with pale green Chakra. The flames instantly intensified upon contact with the giant Nawaki, engulfing the entire area in flames. " Sage Art: Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet! Nawaki- kun, your wood is a perfect match! The fire borrows the power of the wood; if it can't burn this alien scum to death!"
Momoshiki Otsutsuki binding him. But just as he broke free, Minato Kunai at him again, slicing his arm with Nawaki's newwood vines immediately wrapped around him. Shinnosuke's flames relentlessly pursued him—the three worked together like seasoned partners, one responsible for the attack, one for control, and one for damage, leaving Momoshiki Otsutsuki no chance to even catch his breath.
"You inferior creatures..." Momoshiki Otsutsuki roared, raising his black rod to unleash Chakra shockwave. But before he could even gather his strength, a white stream of air suddenly struck from the side, deflecting his attack.
" Eight Trigrams Palm - Rotation!" Hyuga Hiashi 'Chakra voice rang out coldly. Pale green Senjutsu energy emanated from the chakra points all over his body, and his Byakugan pupils reflected the Chakra nodes on Ōtsutsuki's entire body. "Mr. Shinku, Kusunoki, the third Chakra node on his left side is a weak point! Minato's Rasengan just now damaged that spot, and Immortal Power is still lingering there!"
Suddenly, Yūhi Shinku emerged from the fiery mist. The Kunai in his hand was wrapped in Senjutsu Chakra. He silently circled behind Ōtsutsuki and said in a ghostly voice, " Genjutsu: Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!" Pale green Chakra drilled into Ōtsutsuki's brain through his ear. The guy suddenly froze, and he saw a hallucination of countless vines wrapping around him. The black stick in his hand paused.
"Now!" Mitarashi Kusunoki immediately unleashed a poison sac, the purple mist infused with pale green Senjutsu Chakra, instantly enveloping the Ōtsutsuki. "Poison Mist: Mist Servant Technique! This poison is mixed with Immortal Power; it can seal your Chakra meridians. Let's see how you heal your wounds!"
Momoshiki Otsutsuki inhaled the poisonous mist and immediately felt a burning sensation in his throat, slowing down his Chakra circulation. Taking advantage of this, Hyuga Hiashi rushed forward, his hands imbued with Senjutsu Chakra, and precisely struck the third node on Momoshiki's left rib. " Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!" A pale green stream of energy flowed into Hiashi's body through Ōtsutsuki's palms, causing the man to groan as the wound on his left rib reopened, bleeding profusely.
Even so, Momoshiki Otsutsuki didn't fall. He used his black rods to prop himself up on the sea surface, and his wounds began to heal slowly again. Hyuga Hiashi frowned, and was about to continue his attack when he saw a white light flash by. Hatake Sakumo's short sword had slashed open Momoshiki Otsutsuki's neck.
The figure of " Hokage Hatake Sakumo " stopped behind Momoshiki Otsutsuki, the blade of his short sword gleaming with a faint green Senjutsu glow, blood still dripping from it. "Don't waste time with him, this guy's regenerative abilities are too strong, we have to go all out."
Momoshiki Otsutsuki clutched his neck, blood seeping from between his fingers, but his neck was still slowly healing. Sakumo didn't give him a chance; his short sword pierced his heart quickly and accurately, and Senjutsu Chakra flowed into the blade. " Sage Art: White Fang Slash!" The pale green Chakra exploded within Ōtsutsuki's body, and this time his wound finally stopped healing, his body collapsing limply onto the sea.
"Mr. Sakumo is still so amazing!" Minato walked over, looking at the Ōtsutsuki corpse floating on the sea, and couldn't help but admire it.
Sakumo sheathed his short sword, his gaze shifting to the other side of the battlefield. "Don't relax, there are still many more. The corpses are sealed."
