The Moon, Lunar Palace
Once a magnificent palace, it had now been reduced to complete ruins. The Uchiha clan members assigned to guard this place had suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately, the enemy's objective wasn't mindless slaughter. Had that been the case, the death toll would have been several times higher.
"I have found it, Lord Momoshiki."
Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki emerged, his gaze fixed on the forbidden ground that lay ahead.
The three had come for Kaguya. After consuming the Chakra Fruit, she was supposed to face judgment at the hands of the Ōtsutsuki clan.
"You treacherous traitor… I've finally found you."
The one speaking had long, pale blue hair tied into a high ponytail. Two curved horns, shaped like forehead protectors, adorned his forehead.
Dressed in white, he carried a glowing red fish basket on his back, accompanied by a fishing rod. This man was none other than Ōtsutsuki Urashiki.
Unlike Isshiki, who advocated ruthless slaughter, the three of them belonged to the "Saint Sanctury." faction They had only joined forces with their enemies after suffering defeat, and ever since, had embraced a philosophy of absolute annihilation.
Their status had already been low within the clan, and to make matters worse, their faction had produced a traitor like Kaguya. Because of her betrayal, the three of them had been implicated as well.
Urashiki's companions had been slain, and Momoshiki's Divine Tree had been confiscated by the clan.
In an attempt to redeem themselves, they had decided to travel to Earth and personally punish the traitorous Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
Of course, that was only one reason. Momoshiki's true objective was to seize the Divine Tree and use the life energy of Earth to ignite the Divine Flame.
The Ōtsutsuki clan?
A cold-blooded group of executioners. Momoshiki had no desire to associate with them.
"Do it." Momoshiki's voice was calm, his tone carrying an air of superiority.
Swinging his crimson fishing hook, an artifact forged with alien technology, Urashiki effortlessly pierced through the Six Paths Seal. His target was the figure sealed within the altar—Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.
"Ah?"
Just as the attack was about to strike its mark, Urashiki's face lit up with smug satisfaction.
Yet, in the very next instant, his expression changed.
His hook did not reach its target.
A terrifying presence surged forth, shaking the very world around them. The three members of the Ōtsutsuki trio stiffened, their gazes sharpening in unison. None of them had anticipated that such a formidable warrior had been hidden within the Moon.
"This is interesting. Kinshiki, go greet our unexpected guest."
"As you command."
Kinshiki stepped forward, a massive crimson battle axe forming in his grip. With a burst of air-shattering speed, he charged toward the altar.
A thunderous impact resounded.
Amidst the shattering of stone and the rumbling of mountains, a powerful fist emerged from the mist, slamming forcefully against the surface of Kinshiki's battle axe.
Even someone as strong as Kinshiki was unable to withstand the sheer force behind the strike. He was driven back several steps, his heels carving grooves into the ground.
"Oh? To think someone could actually push Kinshiki back with brute force. It seems our opponents have some skill." Momoshiki's tone remained indifferent, his words laced with condescension.
"Yes, yes. But of course, no one could possibly match Lord Momoshiki." Urashiki's response was laced with insincerity. It was clear that he did not acknowledge Momoshiki's leadership.
However, with his own comrades dead, survival now required him to temporarily submit to this man.
Seeing Kinshiki struggling in battle, Urashiki leaped into action, swinging his crimson fishing hook to assist him.
Amenosubaruboshinomikoto: Ryūgū!
From the palm of his hand, he unleashed a four-pointed star-shaped mass of purple chakra, which rapidly transformed into a massive black-and-purple emperor anglerfish.
The giant fish opened its mouth, gathering a sphere of violet-red energy before launching it at the shadowy figure concealed within the ruins of the mountain.
"It worked."
A twisted grin spread across Urashiki's face as he yanked his fishing hook. He reeled in a dense mass of chakra, comparable in scale to that of a Tailed Beast.
His fishing hook had the ability to extract chakra, while his fish basket could store it. At crucial moments, he could even absorb the chakra himself to enhance his power.
"A bountiful harvest indeed."
Placing the stolen chakra into his glowing red fish basket, Urashiki smirked coldly, his eyes searching for another opportunity to strike.
The hidden warrior within the cave was none other than Ōtsutsuki Hamura, who had slumbered for a thousand years.
Using extraordinary space-time techniques, he had drastically slowed the passage of time for himself. It was this method that had allowed him to sit in meditation for a millennium without perishing.
In a way, his approach resembled that of the Sage of Six Paths, who had once employed similar means to preserve the legacy of the Shinobi Sect.
Urashiki's assault on the altar immediately triggered a response from Hamura.
As the seal broke, he awakened from his deep slumber, his first act being to launch a punch that sent Kinshiki stumbling backward.
However, he had underestimated his enemies' weapons.
Before he could react, a portion of his chakra had already been extracted—nearly one-tenth of his total reserves.
Having just awakened, Hamura's condition was far from optimal. Although he seemed to dominate Kinshiki in battle, his consciousness had not fully returned.
Sealing himself for millennia had taken a greater toll than he had anticipated.
Blood splattered as Kinshiki's axe struck his chest, a sharp pain coursing through his body. His brows furrowed instinctively.
Converting Truth-Seeking Orbs into a Sage's staff, he relied on sheer instinct to parry the enemy's attacks. Meanwhile, memories of the past flashed rapidly through his mind.
Seizing the opening, Urashiki launched another attack. This time, he succeeded once more, managing to extract an additional two-tenths of Hamura's chakra.
"Damn it. This guy's body is abnormal."
Frustration was beginning to take hold of Urashiki.
Had it been anyone else, they would have already been drained dry.
Yet despite taking two direct hits, Hamura remained standing, his strength showing no signs of faltering.
The sheer amount of chakra contained within him was nothing short of astonishing.
Clutching his little fish basket, Urashiki's face lit up with the satisfaction of a successful hunt.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Kinshiki pressed on with his relentless assault.
Amanohabaya!
This was the ability Kinshiki had inherited from his ancestors, allowing him to materialize his chakra into various weapons, each one possessing unfathomable power capable of cleaving through both sky and earth.
In his left hand, he wielded an axe; in his right, a trident. Behind him, an array of swords, spears, and halberds floated in the air, clashing repeatedly against Hamura's Truth-Seeking Orbs.
Kinshiki's proficiency in taijutsu was formidable. In the original events, he had engaged in a fierce battle with the black-cloaked Sasuke and, within a mere minute, had forced his opponent to resort to Amenotejikara just to save his own life.
It was important to recognize that Sasuke, wielding the Rinnegan, had honed his taijutsu to such an extent that even Naruto found himself unable to create a single shadow clone in their duel.
This alone was enough to prove that Kinshiki was far more than a mere servant.
Hamura, who had only just awakened from his long slumber, had failed to anticipate the sheer ferocity of Kinshiki's attack and was momentarily suppressed in direct combat.
"Curse it..." Hamura growled under his breath. His taijutsu was ineffective, and even the Truth-Seeking orbs were struggling to contend with the enemy's strange and formidable weaponry.
Since his battle against his mother had ended, he had never found himself in such an overwhelming predicament.
At the root of the problem, Hamura's power had always been inferior to that of the Sage of Six Paths. Without his elder brother's support, he had been nothing more than an insignificant obstacle before his mother, easily vanquished in an instant.
Although he had grown stronger in the years that followed, his power had only reached a level slightly above that of Naruto and Sasuke.
Now, with his body still in an imperfect state after awakening, he was forced to face both Kinshiki and Urashiki simultaneously. It was only natural that he was struggling against the overwhelming odds.
At that moment, Kinshiki's crimson chakra condensed at his fingertips. His cold, merciless gaze locked onto a brief opening in Hamura's defense, and without hesitation, he thrust his palm forward, pressing all five fingers against Hamura's chest.
(Arataketōshi) Furious Smelting!
A formless shockwave erupted in an instant. Hamura coughed up a mouthful of blood as the sheer force of the attack sent him crashing backward.
Even the ancient altar behind him trembled under the impact. The sacred seals left behind by the Sage of Six Paths reacted instinctively, releasing waves of senjutsu chakra in a desperate attempt to counteract the disturbance.
"How amusing," Momoshiki murmured, completely ignoring the battle taking place in the distance. With a serene expression, he floated forward, his feet no longer touching the ground, slowly approaching the ancient altar.
"This is bad…" A sense of dread washed over Hamura. His pale eyes sharpened with resolve, and in an instant, an overwhelming aura of dominance radiated from his body, momentarily freezing his enemies in place.
Seizing this fleeting opportunity, he forcibly activated his Tenseigan. A dazzling golden light erupted from his hands, surging outward with explosive force.
Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
This technique far surpassed the one utilized by Yayoi, possessing enough destructive power to grievously wound Kinshiki.
However, just as the attack was about to strike, a voice filled with casual amusement interrupted.
"Now, now… You shouldn't ignore me."
At the most critical moment, Urashiki stepped in front of his companion and invoked a technique of his own.
Yomotsu Hirasaka!
A pitch-black portal materialized before him, swallowing the golden energy beam in its entirety.
The entrance of the portal, point A, had absorbed the attack.
And its exit, point B, emerged directly behind Hamura.
*BOOOOM!!!*
The devastating energy struck the poor Hyūga ancestor from behind before he could react. The powerful force of his own ultimate technique sent him sprawling to the ground in a battered state. As he lifted his head, his vision was filled with a pair of chilling blue Rinnegan.
Temporal Rewind!
This was one of Urashiki's many abilities. His blue Rinnegan granted him the power to glimpse several seconds into the future.
Through multiple cycles of observation and combat, he could discern the enemy's attacks and devise the most effective countermeasure.
Just moments ago, he had foreseen Kinshiki's impending defeat and had intervened in advance, turning Hamura's own power against him.
As a result, Hamura was left in a severely weakened state. Seizing the opportunity, Urashiki wasted no time siphoning away nearly half of his chakra.
"Thank you for the hospitality," he remarked with a sly smile, his expression laced with amusement.
A chill ran down Hamura's spine. He was about to fight back with everything he had left when, all of a sudden, everyone present—Kinshiki, Urashiki, and even Momoshiki—simultaneously halted their actions.
Their gazes shifted toward the distant sky, where a colossal landmass floated ominously above them.
From that landmass, a devastating energy beam tore through the void, radiating a terrifying power that sent shockwaves through both Kinshiki and Urashiki, causing their expressions to shift dramatically.
"Die, you scum… Every single one of you."
Upon that floating landmass stood an Uchiha shinobi, his gaze dark and brooding. Before him loomed a massive mechanical eye, embedded within a colossal structure and gleaming with an eerie light.
This was Project Mitsugan—the "Converged Eye"—a concept proposed by Kyōsuke.
It was a vast and ancient weaponization initiative that harnessed the Byakugan of the Moon's Ōtsutsuki clan, converging their power into a single, colossal Tenseigan.
Once matured, the Tenseigan possessed the devastating ability to unleash a single blast capable of erasing an entire planet.
In the original timeline, Ōtsutsuki Toneri had attempted to activate the system to destroy Earth, but was ultimately defeated by Naruto before the awakening could be completed.
Although Kyōsuke's version of the weapon had yet to reach its peak potential, its destructive power remained more than sufficient to reduce the Moon to dust.
At this moment, the remaining members of the Uchiha clan had already evacuated through a spatial barrier, utilizing a teleportation array to escape from the Moon.
As the commander responsible for guarding this location, the man standing before the Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) knew he could not defeat the enemy. His only option was to ensure mutual destruction as an act of atonement to Lord Kyōsuke.
"You bastards… Never underestimate the power of the Uchiha!"
However, as the blinding light faded, the man's fervent expression gradually transformed into one of stunned disbelief.
Something was wrong.
Why… Why had there been no explosion?!
Turning his gaze to the Energy vessel, he saw only smoke rising from its surface. The weapon had failed to fire a second time.
"What in the world…?" He barely had time to process the situation before his enemies suddenly materialized before him.
Instinctively, he reached for a kunai, but before he could react, Kinshiki struck him down without hesitation.
"An interesting device," Momoshiki mused, his eyes gleaming with intrigue. The Tenseigan (Energy Vessel) had clearly piqued his curiosity.
Kinshiki, standing beside him, furrowed his brows slightly in regret. Had he known the enemy's importance, he would have left him alive for interrogation.
"It does not matter," Momoshiki reassured with a calm smile. "That man was unlikely to be the one who constructed it. The true mastermind behind this creation is elsewhere."
"Understood, Lord Momoshiki."
Meanwhile, Urashiki found himself frowning in frustration.
Moments ago, they had all been too focused on the energy beam, allowing their enemy the perfect opportunity to slip away unnoticed.
Now, both Ōtsutsuki Hamura and the sealed Kaguya had vanished without a trace.
Letting out a deep sigh, Urashiki muttered, "What a headache…"
