Chapter 223: Power of Hagoromo 【37】
Chapter 223: Power of Hagoromo 【37】
"It's the chakra of Hagoromo's younger brother!"
Kurama acted like a startled cat, its fur standing on end as it sensed the direction of the departing Otsutsuki clan member from within Feng Ye's body.
Feng Ye wasn't surprised by Kurama's judgment; he had already guessed the other party's identity. After a brief pause, he flashed and gave chase.
Even if the other party didn't come, he would have to go to the moon sooner or later. Now that the opponent had taken the initiative to appear and spy on Konoha, and with the strong malicious intent emanating from their chakra, their purpose was clearly not friendly.
And he guessed right.
The opponent's target was likely the Hyuga clan, intending to take their Byakugan and gain the power of the Rinnegan!
As for why the opponent had their eyes on the Hyuga clan at this time, Feng Ye couldn't speculate, but in his memory, this part of the plot showed that the Otsutsuki clan on the moon had always been paying attention to the ninja world. Perhaps his existence had touched on some changes that were yet to be known.
Swish! Swish!!
They didn't chase for long.
Feng Ye soon stopped in a mountain range very close to Konoha, landing next to a pool. Gazing at the strange light on the surface of the pool, he fell into deep thought.
"It's a barrier..."
Kurama spoke in Feng Ye's mind.
That was where the Otsutsuki ninja had disappeared.
"I know."
Feng Ye stared at the pool and said in a low voice. If he guessed correctly, the back of the pool should lead to the moon. It was a spatial passage created by a giant Rinnegan.
Although Feng Ye wasn't afraid of the power of this clan, after pondering for a moment, he didn't immediately pursue them. Instead, his figure flickered, and he returned to Konoha.
Top of the Hokage Building.
Tsunade chased after him.
At first, she thought Feng Ye was making an excuse to leave because he didn't want to borrow money. But when she noticed that Kurama had also disappeared from outside Konoha, she sensed that something was amiss.
"Feng Ye, what happened?"
"There's a troublesome enemy targeting Konoha."
Feng Ye landed in front of Tsunade and explained the situation briefly before returning to the Hokage's office, where he contemplated and issued a few orders.
...
On the other side.
Above the Moon.
"He's not chasing?"
Otsutsuki Shaku, who possessed a powerful chakra within his body, stared at the spatial passage behind him. After waiting for a moment without any movement, he spoke in a low voice.
He was the leader of the Otsutsuki clan's branch family and Otsutsuki Shaku's father.
About a month ago, he dreamed of his ancestor, Hagoromo Otsutsuki. In his dream, Hagoromo gave him a task and passed on his chakra.
He hadn't activated the Rinnegan.
But with Hagoromo's chakra, his Byakugan ability had greatly strengthened. It was no longer an ordinary Byakugan, as it now possessed an oppressive power similar to that of Kaguya.
Moreover, his chakra was completely different from before. He had unlocked the Six Paths Senjutsu!
With this immense power, he quickly subdued the main family of the Otsutsuki clan and gained control of the entire clan. He then had everyone offer their Byakugan to create a giant Rinnegan capable of opening a spatial passage to the ninja world.
And the task Hagoromo gave him was—
To find the jinchuriki of Kurama and seal it permanently on the moon!
Staring at the mirror-like spatial passage, Otsutsuki Shaku pondered for a moment before deciding not to cross it again. Instead, his figure flashed, and he swiftly moved to a palace.
Inside the palace, several people sat in chairs, their eye sockets empty, devoid of eyeballs. They turned their heads toward Otsutsuki Shaku, sensing his chakra.
Otsutsuki Sha He slowly spoke, "He has discovered my presence, but he's cautious and didn't pursue me here."
One of the figures in the palace asked in a deep voice, "Now that you've inherited the power of our ancestor, do you still fear that ninja? With your strength, you should be able to capture him easily."
"No," Otsutsuki Sha He shook his head. "It's not that simple. That human wields the power of Kurama's chakra and senjutsu. Fighting him there would put me at a slight disadvantage. I must lure him to the moon, where my power and the power of the Rinnegan will give me a greater advantage."
After a moment of silence, one of the figures in the palace spoke, "You could take the Byakugan from the Hyuga clan. Their eyes are of extremely high purity, and you should be able to obtain the power of the Rinnegan that way."
"Mmm." Otsutsuki Sha He nodded. "I was thinking the same. However, Kurama's sensory abilities are strong, and he can sense my presence. It won't be easy to infiltrate, so we must wait for the right opportunity."
After leaving those words, Otsutsuki Sha He left the palace and entered an inner chamber.
Soon...
He arrived in a bedroom where a crib lay, and inside it was an infant, around one or two years old.
"Sha Ren..."
Otsutsuki Sha He's gaze softened as he looked at the infant, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "After this is over, we won't be a branch family anymore. You will become the next head of the Otsutsuki clan."
The one or two-year-old Otsutsuki Sha Ren looked at his father with a confused expression.
Just then—
BOOM!!!
Suddenly, a powerful chakra fluctuation exploded outside, and a golden light tore through the palace, slicing towards Otsutsuki Sha He.
Otsutsuki Sha He's expression changed, and he pushed the crib aside. His right hand reached out, and a pitch-black Staff of the Six Paths appeared in his grip, blocking the descending golden light.
CLANG!
The golden light did not dissipate.
It was imbued with the power of senjutsu chakra.
Compared to the Staff of the Six Paths and the Seeking Orbs created by the Six Paths Senjutsu, the senjutsu chakra was a diluted version of the Six Paths power, but it was essentially the same type of power.
"He's come to kill me?"
Otsutsuki Sha He coldly huffed. With a loud shout, he swung the Staff of the Six Paths with force, dispersing the golden light.
His Byakugan opened up, taking in everything on the moon.
BOOM!!!
The palace split in half from the center.
And in the sky outside the palace, Feng Ye hovered, his body cloaked in a mystical aura that combined the chakra of Kurama and senjutsu. He held the Kusanagi Sword in his hand.
"As expected, it's the power of the Six Paths..."
Feng Ye narrowed his eyes as he looked at Otsutsuki Sha He. "It seems my earlier perception was correct."
He didn't recognize Otsutsuki Sha He, but he could tell that the eyes were not the Rinnegan, but still the Byakugan. This was consistent with his earlier judgment.
The chakra belonged to the Otsutsuki clan!
It was likely the same state as when Naruto and Sasuke received the Six Paths Yin and Yang powers from Hagoromo Otsutsuki. Hagoromo had passed on his chakra to his direct descendants on the moon!
In other words, this member of the Otsutsuki clan possessed power akin to that of Hagoromo Otsutsuki's younger brother, Otsutsuki Hamura!
