Chapter 787: United Against the Otsutsuki Clan
Chapter 787: United Against the Otsutsuki Clan
Whoosh!
Under the genjutsu of Kaguya Otsutsuki, everyone was transported into the primordial sphere space.
After altering the space, Kaguya Otsutsuki immediately flew into the sky, beginning to refine and absorb the chakra of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
"Damn, it's that teleportation jutsu again," Naruto muttered, realizing he had been transported to yet another new world.
The Heavenly Mandate was indeed too cunning.
Broken Uchiha Daigo noticed Kaguya's rapidly increasing chakra and, with a Void Grip, created a massive blue sword that flew towards Kaguya.
Sasuke also summoned his Susanoo and charged from another direction.
Unlike Naruto, who could fly directly, Sasuke lacked a Sage Stone and could only use Susanoo to fly.
Whoosh!
Senju Tobirama threw two Raijin Shuriken.
"Expanding Sage Stone!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki used all the absorbed chakra to create a Sage Stone, instantly forming a giant black ball with a diameter of over four hundred meters, which continued to expand.
The Expanding Sage Stone was one of Kaguya's most powerful abilities, but due to its immense chakra consumption, even she only used it when absorbing the chakra of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Broken Uchiha Daigo quickly braked, stopping ten meters away from the massive black ball.
Sasuke, on the other side, had no choice but to halt as well.
The Sage Stone was a basic tool for Six Paths users, but one of this size was clearly not a simple matter.
"Shomonbikan!"
Moonbath Leader's gaze swept over the giant black ball, instantly shrinking it to a diameter of one hundred meters.
He could have reduced the Sage Stone to nothing, but that would have been too chakra-consuming and unnecessary.
"Divine Might!"
Broken Uchiha Daigo quickly followed up with his dojutsu, sucking the Sage Stone into the Divine Space.
Kaguya Otsutsuki frowned as she watched Moonbath Leader.
During this battle, Moonbath Leader had used his dojutsu sparingly, causing Kaguya to forget that he possessed the same ability as Kaguya's First Son.
It was indeed an annoying dojutsu.
Whoosh!
Senju Tobirama appeared behind Kaguya Otsutsuki with Uzumaki Naruto.
Poof!
Just as Naruto was about to strike Kaguya with a Rasengan, she suddenly turned around, and her bone spikes pierced the bodies of both Naruto and Tobirama.
With her powerful body and Byakugan, she was not about to fall for such a sneak attack.
Bang!
Both of them disintegrated into smoke, revealing themselves as Shadow Clones.
After the Shadow Clones dissipated, a shuriken fell from the clone's hand.
The real Senju Tobirama and Naruto appeared beside Broken Uchiha Daigo.
"Sage Technique: Divine Might Spiral Kunai!"
Naruto concentrated his Rasengan into a kunai, and Broken Uchiha Daigo infused it with a massive amount of Divine Might.
Seeing this, Kaguya Otsutsuki turned towards them, but Sasuke was already closing in on her.
Bang!
Moonbath Leader, having shrunk himself, burst out of a tiny spatial gate and punched Kaguya Otsutsuki, sending her into Sasuke's Heavenly Hand Force range.
"Heavenly Hand Force!"
Sasuke exchanged Kaguya Otsutsuki with the shuriken that had fallen in front of Naruto.
Boom!!
The Divine Might Spiral Kunai slammed into Kaguya Otsutsuki, sucking half of her body, along with Kurotsuchi, into the Divine Space.
"Universal Ash Bones!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki, her face cold, shot out ash bones capable of destroying everything, shattering Broken Uchiha Daigo's Susanoo.
She continued firing at Naruto.
Broken Uchiha Daigo reacted swiftly, pushing Naruto away the moment the ash bones touched Susanoo, allowing them to pass through his body as if he were an intangible phantom.
"Heavenly Mandate!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki, without hesitation, transported everyone again.
This time, she chose the Gravity Space.
Bang! Bang!
Upon entering the Gravity Space, the Sage Stone behind Naruto and Moonbath Leader fell to the ground due to the intense gravity within the space, unable to float.
This was the unique feature of the Gravity Space: the stronger one's chakra, the greater the gravity they had to endure.
"Yellow Spring Evil Slope!"
Kaguya Otsutsuki didn't stop; she immediately opened a black portal beneath her, leading back to the primordial sphere space.
The Divine Might Spiral Kunai not only contained the Six Paths Power granted to Naruto by the Sage of Six Paths but also the Divine Might enhanced by Broken Uchiha Daigo's Six Paths Power, making it incredibly powerful.
Although it couldn't kill Kaguya Otsutsuki, who possessed an immortal body, it did put her in a rather unfavorable state.
She needed some time to recover, but Moonbath and his group clearly wouldn't give her that luxury, so Kaguya Otsutsuki had no choice but to teleport everyone away first and then return alone.
The Heavenly Hand Force would teleport everyone within its range, making it impossible to selectively exclude anyone.
Due to the peculiarities of the gravity space, the ninjas couldn't stop Kaguya immediately, allowing her to escape the gravity space with ease.
Only Moonbath, who also possessed the power of the Yellow Spring Evil Slope, could pursue her without delay.
Super Madara could use his Divine Might to traverse the Heavenly Hand Force, but it wasn't as convenient as the Yellow Spring Evil Slope. It required a massive amount of chakra, and Super Madara had to search for the coordinates of each world individually.
This was Super Madara's first time using Divine Might in this manner, and he needed to familiarize himself with the coordinates of other worlds before he could teleport.
"Just one person dares to chase after me?" Kaguya remarked, her ancient face, unchanged for millennia, now bearing a hint of a smile as she faced Moonbath in the Primordial Sphere Space.
Among all her opponents, the one she most wanted to deal with first was not Naruto or Sasuke, nor even Super Madara, but Moonbath.
Earlier, when no one was aware of her abilities, Moonbath had single-handedly blocked her attacks, preventing her from absorbing Naruto and Sasuke's chakra.
Later, Moonbath had reduced his involvement to conserve chakra, but each time he acted, he rendered Kaguya's ultimate moves ineffective, causing her no small amount of frustration.
"If I kill you, they won't be my match anymore," Kaguya declared, extending her remaining hand to unleash a barrage of massive chakra fist shadows.
The All-Killing Ash Bone was powerful, but it had no effect on Shomonbikan.
Kaguya didn't expect to defeat Moonbath with just one or two moves.
She wanted to stall for half a minute to recover her body.
"You can try," Moonbath said with a faint smile, waving his hand to release a golden thread that sliced through the giant chakra fist.
"Yang Seal Release!"
Moonbath released the seal within his body, causing a massive amount of chakra to surge forth, intensifying the golden-red chakra aura surrounding him.
After a series of battles, he had a clear understanding of Kaguya's true strength.
Even in a one-on-one fight, Kaguya was no match for Moonbath.
Kaguya was indeed powerful, possessing numerous formidable abilities and an impressive stamina reserve.
However, her combat skills were lacking, significantly hindering her performance.
"Rabbit Hair Needles!"
Kaguya fired off a large number of white hair needles while floating upwards.
She only needed to hold on for another ten seconds or so for her body to recover.
"Divine Technique: Armed Color!"
Moonbath, infused with the power of the Six Paths, used his Sage Mode chakra to activate the Armed Color technique, allowing Kaguya's hair needles to strike his body as he swiftly flew towards her.
"Expanding Sage Stone!"
Seeing that the hair needles were ineffective, Kaguya had no choice but to expend a massive amount of chakra to create an enormous Sage Stone barrier between herself and Moonbath.
Her Eight Divine Palms couldn't withstand Moonbath's Golden Horizon.
[Untranslatable: 691691]
The All-Killing Ash Bone was also countered by Moonbath's eye technique.
With her two ultimate moves ineffective, Kaguya could only rely on the expanding Sage Stone.
Based on his previous experience, Moonbath's eye power wasn't sufficient to shrink the giant Sage Stone to nothingness in one go.
"Shomonbikan!"
Just as Kaguya had this thought, the giant Sage Stone vanished instantly.
Kaguya stared at Moonbath in shock and confusion, as this hadn't happened before.
"Sage Technique: Rasengan - Blue Flame!"
Moonbath pushed the Divine Technique to its limits, rapidly forming a fireball filled with blue and golden flames in his palm.
Kaguya, however, didn't give up. She wrapped herself in her long hair, creating a defensive barrier.
Boom!
The fireball smashed into Kaguya, and the intense flames instantly burned through her hair, scorching half of her recently healed body, contorting her expression in pain.
Whoosh!
The powerful explosion sent Kaguya plummeting towards the ground.
"Yellow Spring Evil Slope!"
Moonbath opened a black teleportation gate to the Ice Snow Space in mid-air, catching Kaguya as she fell and transporting her to the Ice Snow Space. He then swiftly followed through the gate himself.
The Primordial Sphere Space wasn't an ideal battlefield, as Kaguya could quickly recover her chakra there.
In the Ice Snow Space, Kaguya immediately attempted to use the Yellow Spring Evil Slope to escape back to the Primordial Sphere Space.
The recent usage of the Sage Stone had drained her chakra, and before she could replenish it, Moonbath Leader had delivered a thorough beating, leaving her unable to perform the Heaven's Decree technique.
Boom!
Moonbath Leader appeared beside Kaguya Otsutsuki, shattering her escape dream with a single punch.
"How is this possible? As the progenitor of chakra, I can't believe I'm losing to him!" Kaguya's face was filled with disbelief.
When the Six Paths Sage had sealed her, she had her brother by her side for assistance.
But in Moonbath Leader's eyes, this was only natural.
To prevent Kaguya from recovering, he had pursued her relentlessly, not giving her a moment's respite.
Moreover, he had previously concealed a portion of his strength, gaining an informational advantage over Kaguya.
However, even Moonbath Leader hadn't anticipated such a smooth victory.
He had envisioned weakening Kaguya to her lowest state, allowing Broken Uchiha Daigo to arrive with Naruto and the others. Together, they would capture the weakened Kaguya and transport her to another dimension for interrogation.
But Kaguya's use of the Sage Stone had turned the tables, saving Moonbath Leader considerable effort.
Pfft!
Moonbath Leader waved his hand, and seven Sage Stones transformed into long needles, piercing Kaguya's seven chakra points, preventing her from recovering her chakra.
As the individual with the most chakra in the ninja world, Kaguya's ability to refine chakra was terrifyingly fast. If left unchecked, she could quickly amass enough chakra to perform the Heaven's Decree technique.
"I believe we can now resume our previous conversation," Moonbath Leader said, leaning over the Kaguya pinned to the ground.
"There's no need for us to fight like this. We have a common enemy—the Otsutsuki clan."
"You want to take on the clan?" Kaguya looked at Moonbath Leader in surprise.
"Will they return to the ninja world?"
Moonbath Leader didn't answer Kaguya's question but asked another.
"They will, because I'm here, and this is a 'fertile field' capable of bearing high-quality fruit." Kaguya replied.
This was the reason she had been striving to become stronger.
If she didn't strengthen herself quickly, the Otsutsuki clan would realize her presence.
"That's right. The Otsutsuki clan's God Tree will destroy the ninja world, and I have no desire to relocate to another planet," Moonbath Leader said.
"So, who are you exactly? You know about the clan and possess those eyes." Kaguya eyed Moonbath Leader suspiciously.
When Moonbath Leader had questioned her earlier, she had only mentioned the 'clan,' not the Otsutsuki clan.
But it was clear that Moonbath Leader was aware of the Otsutsuki clan's existence, albeit with limited information.
Even this was enough to astonish Kaguya; it was a secret even her loyal son didn't know.
The Six Paths Sage only knew that Kaguya wasn't a native of the ninja world but was unaware of her origins or the Otsutsuki clan.
"I've said this before: I am Moonbath Leader, a native of the ninja world with a modicum of power. I learned about the Otsutsuki clan through certain coincidences," Moonbath Leader explained.
Kaguya believed most of it, thinking that the first Otsutsuki had not died but had been resurrected with some error, eventually leading to Moonbath Leader's existence.
"Since you wish to cooperate with me, help me break free, and then we'll go absorb the chakra of the Sage of the Six Paths' successor together," Kaguya proposed.
As a native of the ninja world, Moonbath Leader was only considered a resource for the Otsutsuki clan. However, with his Otsutsuki-like eyes, he could be considered half-Otsutsuki and a potential collaborator.
"Deal with them, and I'll give you thirty percent of the ninja world's chakra," Kaguya said through gritted teeth.
This time, she was serious.
The White Death created from the ninja world's natives couldn't possibly produce a half-Otsutsuki powerhouse like Moonbath Leader.
With Moonbath Leader as a powerful ally, Kaguya's chances of turning the tables on the Otsutsuki investigators when they arrived in the ninja world increased significantly.
If she succeeded in this counter-attack, they could not only control the ninja world but also seize the investigators' God Tree saplings and continue cultivating their strength on other planets.
Moonbath Leader silently formed a hand seal.
Seven Sage Stones ignited with flames on Black-Haired Youth's body, causing Kaguya's face to contort in pain.
"Kaguya Otsutsuki, I hope you understand this: you were defeated by me, not the other way around," Moonbath Leader said.
Even in defeat, she still wanted to claim seventy percent of the chakra. Her love for chakra knew no bounds.
