The vast starry sky passed by, unaware of the passage of time. For the Ōtsutsuki clan, who had achieved eternal life in a different dimension, the flow of time was meaningless. They paid no attention to how long had passed until a deep blue planet appeared in Ryūshiki's vision, causing the two to halt their movement.
"According to the star map, this is where the ninja world is located. It should be correct."
"It looks like a good planet."
Shinshiki was still enveloped in a mist-like light, his face hidden, but his arrogant voice still came through, "To find such fertile land in such a remote star domain is truly rare."
"A pity, it will soon become a dead planet, scattering into dust in the universe."
Ryūshiki on the side did not respond, but his expression was indifferent. If it were just him alone, he would never dare to covet this planet that buried Isshiki, Momoshiki, and Urashiki.
But now that he had Shinshiki, all obstacles would disappear. There was no reason for it, other than the fact that he was Shinshiki. Where Shinshiki was, that was Ōtsutsuki territory!
"Are we going to fight here, Shinshiki?"
Shinshiki removed his disguise, revealing a defiant face. He had a pair of vertical horns on his head, one Byakugan, and one black triple pupil, making him quite peculiar.
"No rush. It's been a long time since I've encountered any lowly beings who dare to resist us Ōtsutsuki. I'd like to see what's so special about them!"
Ryūshiki frowned but didn't say much. If it were anyone else, he would have warned them, but Shinshiki was different. He couldn't die. Perhaps, it would be even better if he did.
"Let's go!"
Shinshiki seemed to catch a scent, a defiant smile flickered across his face, his black triple pupils narrowed slightly, and a dark passage opened before him. He plunged into it and disappeared.
Ryūshiki could only follow. He couldn't dare to go to the ninja world alone.
...
On the moon, a dark passage opened, and Shinshiki and Ryūshiki emerged from it. Before them stood a cluster of palaces floating within the moon and a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Shinshiki looked at the large cluster of palaces before him, a smirk on his lips, and said dismissively, "I didn't expect a pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki to be here. Those left behind outside are truly unruly."
Toneri, who had been cultivating on the moon, saw the two Ōtsutsuki members suddenly appear before him. His cerulean eyes narrowed slightly, but he showed no fear. Instead, he spoke first, "Are you the 'distant relatives' that Boss Lin Yu mentioned?"
Toneri glanced past the two at the black hole that was gradually closing, tilting his head in confusion, "Just the two of you?"
Toneri was immediately bewildered. Only two Ōtsutsuki members had come? Wasn't this like sending food to those cultivation fanatics?
Just two?
Was this kid looking down on them, the Ōtsutsuki?
Not only Shinshiki, but even the usually calm Ryūshiki was angered. Listening to his tone, it was as if the two Ōtsutsuki members were not worth mentioning.
"Kid, you have a big mouth. I wonder if your bones will be as hard as your words later."
Ryūshiki had a pair of dragon-like curved horns on his right temple. His abilities, like his name, made him a power-type Ōtsutsuki, complementing the agility and elusiveness of Urashiki.
Shinshiki looked on with amusement. Before going to the ninja world to harvest, it wouldn't be a bad idea to educate this Ōtsutsuki cub from a remote planet.
Ryūshiki took a couple of steps forward, his fists hidden beneath his robes slowly extending. But before he could make a move, his body froze in place.
Behind Toneri, figures began to descend one after another, all with extraordinary auras.
"Toneri, have the Ōtsutsuki arrived?"
The first to arrive were Toneri's "male companions," Gaara, Kimimaro, and over ten others, including Naruto and Sasuke. As for the term "male companions"... it was Toneri's own thought.
Toneri nodded, his cerulean pupils fixed on Ryūshiki. The pressure this Ōtsutsuki brought was immense. Without entering Tenseigan Chakra Mode, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand even one move.
"Just a group of lowly humans. Ryūshiki, what are you waiting for?" Shinshiki's eyes were contemptuous as he spoke to Ryūshiki in a low voice.
Ryūshiki took a deep look at Naruto and Sasuke. He sensed a familiar aura from the two of them. However, this was not enough to make him stop. His gaze returned to the cluster of palaces not far away, from which waves of oppressive energy emanated.
Whoosh!
Several figures instantly appeared beside Naruto and the others. Tobirama, Itachi, Shisui, and other peak Uchiha figures had all arrived, including Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara's eyes were cold. He looked at Shinshiki, who was standing with his arms crossed, and his expression froze. The way this person acted so arrogant was truly infuriating. He immediately said mockingly,
"Just the two of you? Are you here to die?"
Shinshiki shouted in anger, "Lowly ants, how dare you insult us?"
"Ants?"
A scarlet glow bloomed in Uchiha Madara's pupils, and he instantly appeared before Shinshiki, striking out with one hand.
Shinshiki wore a cold smile, showing no intention of dodging. His black triple pupils spun, and the space before him immediately turned into a spiraling vortex, dark and leading to an unknown place.
The spatial vortex appeared too quickly, and Uchiha Madara couldn't retract his hand in time. A palm went straight through it.
"Sever!"
Crack!
Shinshiki let out a cruel laugh. The vortex before him disappeared, and along with it, Uchiha Madara's arm.
"Ant, this is how you provoke a god..."
Shinshiki's face was still arrogant, but before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Madara before him turned into a pile of wood and sank into the lunar surface.
Shinshiki's face immediately turned grim, and his gaze quickly shifted elsewhere.
Uchiha Madara crossed his arms, the scarlet glow in his eyes still alluring. He said coldly to the man in red armor beside him, "Skilled in spatial abilities, can instantly create spatial vortexes and then sever connections, using the closure of space to inflict damage."
"From the looks of it, he seems to be a support-type Ōtsutsuki."
"How about it?"
Senju Hashirama's eyes burned as he stared at Ryūshiki, rubbing his fists together, "One for each of us, I'll take this one!"
"Ant! Do you think my abilities are just this?"
No one had ever dared to look down on him like this. Shinshiki was enraged, but before he could act, a shadow flashed in his eyes. He immediately dodged, and a large hole was blasted open at his feet.
"What is this? Four identical people?"
A black Rinnegan opened on Shinshiki's forehead. Within the Rinnegan's vision, four identical Uchiha Madaras surrounded the true body, their movements strangely erratic and unfixed.
Limbo: Hengoku!
Ryūshiki, seeing this, wanted to go to Shinshiki's aid, but a wooden dragon rose from the earth, tightly entwining Ryūshiki's body.
Senju Hashirama instantly activated Sage Mode, standing atop the wooden dragon, and said coldly, "Your opponent is me!"
