"Fox, I'll accept your chakra."

Momoshiki Otsutsuki grabbed Naruto by the neck and lifted him up, a sinister smile spreading across his face. His red Rinnegan suddenly lit up as he extracted the Nine-Tails' chakra from the sealed space in Naruto's abdomen.

"what……"

The pain from the forced extraction of chakra contorted Naruto's face, causing him to let out a miserable scream.

"Is this the strength of the Otsutsuki clan? They are indeed terrifyingly strong."

Orochimaru, who was closest to the snake, disregarded his own safety and simultaneously stretched out both arms, which transformed into two thick, muddy-colored giant snakes. From their open mouths, sharp sword blades emerged, and they thrust towards Momoshiki Otsutsuki from the left and right.

"Don't get in my way!"

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's Byakugan trembled slightly, and he unleashed an astonishing speed once more, appearing behind Orochimaru in a flash and delivering a horizontal kick.

puff!

Orochimaru's figure instantly turned into mud and scattered everywhere; it was clearly just an earth clone.

Before Momoshiki could re-lock Orochimaru's location with his Byakugan, the rubble on the ground was broken apart, and long snakes emerged from the ground, tearing at Momoshiki.

At the same time, a sharp sound of wind breaking rang out, and a series of blue tomoe shot out while spinning at high speed. These were the Yasaka Magatama unleashed by Uchiha Madara after activating Susanoo.

puff!

A magatama grazed Momoshiki's shoulder, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone. Momoshiki, in pain, loosened his grip, freeing Naruto.

"Naruto, are you alright?"

A dark figure flashed by and caught Naruto in his arms; it was Minato Namikaze, whose Edo Tensei form had been restored.

"Thank you, Fourth Hokage."

Naruto felt as if he had fallen into a warm embrace. Looking at Minato Namikaze, whose face was full of tension, he felt that the other person was incredibly kind to him.

"Why do you know my name?"

After being placed in a safe location far from the battlefield by Minato Namikaze, Naruto suddenly spoke with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, because I named you that; you're my little one."

Minato Namikaze looked surprised, clearly not expecting that Naruto was unaware of his identity.

Did the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, really not tell Naruto anything? Even if he wanted to hide Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, shouldn't he at least have told Naruto about his parents?

Minato Namikaze glanced discreetly into the distance and saw Hiruzen Sarutobi being cleaved in two by Kinshiki Otsutsuki with a single axe strike.

"Little one, then, I..."

Naruto was clearly shocked by what Minato Namikaze said, and became somewhat incoherent.

"Yes, we are father and son."

Minato Namikaze looked at Naruto with a gentle expression, his eyes filled with fatherly love.

"Then, is the Nine-Tails also...?"

Although his mind was preoccupied with what Minato Namikaze had said, Naruto quickly realized that the Nine-Tailed Fox inside him was still there, and that when Minato Namikaze used the Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode, the chakra aura on his body was the same as that of the Nine-Tailed Fox.

“That’s right. Back then, when the Nine-Tails went berserk, it brought a huge disaster to the village. So I had to use a sealing technique to split the Nine-Tails’ chakra in two, sealing one half inside myself, and the other half…”

Before Minato Namikaze could finish speaking, Naruto's body began to tremble violently, clear tears welled up in his eyes, and then streamed down his face.

"dad……"

Before Minato Namikaze could finish speaking, Naruto lowered his head and shouted two words, interrupting Minato.

Bang.

Before the other party could respond, Naruto delivered an uppercut to Minato Namikaze's abdomen, causing his entire body to bend over. It was clear that this punch was filled with anger and resentment.

"Why did you seal the Nine-Tails inside your own son? Because of you, I've suffered so much these past years. The adults have all treated me coldly, and I've had a hard time making friends. So I've been working hard, hoping that everyone can recognize me, and I've been training desperately to become stronger..."

Naruto's tears flowed like a waterfall, his hands clenched into fists and waving them around, as he poured out all the grievances and confusion he had held in his heart for years.

"Naruto, I'm sorry, it seems you've been through a lot of painful things."

Seeing Naruto's somewhat out-of-control emotions, Minato Namikaze's face was full of apology.

"I have no face to apologize to you, my son, for making you suffer so much."

Looking at Naruto, who was constantly wiping his eyes, Minato Namikaze's eyes were filled with pity.

"It doesn't matter anymore. After all, I am the son of the Fourth Hokage. I can tolerate it."

After wiping away the traces of tears on his face, Naruto forced a bright smile, which made Minato Namikaze even more heartbroken.

What kind of life has Naruto been living all these years?

boom!

Just as Minato Namikaze was about to explain what happened back then, a loud bang was heard.

The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse. Facing the besieging enemy, Momoshiki Otsutsuki spared no expense in consuming a large amount of chakra to unleash a wide-range Shinra Tensei, once again severely damaging the besieging enemy.

"Inferior creatures, you have successfully exhausted my patience. Now, you will know the severe consequences of angering a noble Otsutsuki!"

Momoshiki Otsutsuki's robes fluttered as he once again unleashed an astonishing surge of chakra. Countless pebbles defied gravity and slowly rose, making him appear like a god.

Chapter 241 Naruto Captured

Momoshiki Otsutsuki raised his arms, and the two red Rinnegan eyes in his palms simultaneously emitted a bright light. The floating pebbles around him paused, and a powerful, invisible shockwave erupted from Momoshiki, instantly cutting everything around him into dust, flashing in all directions.

This is Momoshiki Otsutsuki's Rinnegan: Pressure. Once activated, it releases a blade-shaped shockwave centered on himself. Although its coverage is not as wide as Shinra Tensei, its destructive power is increased by more than one level. No object can withstand the cutting of the invisible blade wave.

"Spirit Communication - Fivefold Rashomon".

As Hashirama Senju pressed his hand to the ground, five giant, demon-faced iron gates of different colors rose from the ground to defend against the impact of the invisible blade wave.

However, the powerful defensive ninjutsu that was once capable of altering the trajectory of a Tailed Beast Ball was swept away like paper by the invisible blade wave, turning into white mist and dissipating, revealing the figures behind it.

"It actually destroyed Lord Hashirama's Fivefold Rashomon in an instant..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was filled with disbelief as his body was instantly destroyed by the invisible blade wave, leaving only his head tumbling through the air before crashing to the ground.

Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki slowly lowered his arms, his Byakugan sweeping through the rising smoke, and he immediately frowned.

The Senju brothers, who were originally next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, had vanished without a trace. The attack that had just consumed a lot of his chakra had only hit the Third Hokage.

In the distance, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju stood beside Minato Namikaze. It was clear that Minato had sensed the danger and used the Flying Thunder God Mark on the two to move them out of the attack range.

As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, only he knows whether Minato Namikaze was unable to move him in time or was simply powerless to do so.

"You still want to restore it?"

Momoshiki Otsutsuki's face darkened, clearly extremely dissatisfied with the result. Seeing the flying scraps of paper begin to gather, he immediately condensed several black rods and stabbed them into Hiruzen Sarutobi's body.

Although Momoshiki Otsutsuki did not master sealing techniques, the black rods were essentially a product of Yin-Yang Release, which had a disruptive effect on the chakra of those struck. Without external assistance, they would inevitably be unable to escape the binding force of the black rods.

"Old man!"

"monkey!"

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi captured, Jiraiya and Tobirama Senju were both anxious.

"This kind of opponent who can't use ninjutsu is really troublesome!"

Hashirama Senju looked up at Momoshiki Otsutsuki, the former god of ninjas, who now seemed somewhat helpless.

Facing Momoshiki Otsutsuki, who possesses the power of a high-ranking imperial spirit, no matter what kind of ninjutsu is used, it will be absorbed by the opponent and amplified several times before being returned to the opponent. In the previous battle, they had already suffered several losses.

If it were a physical combat contest, although Momoshiki Otsutsuki's physical skills were slightly inferior to Kinshiki's, their Edo Tensei bodies were even more pathetic. Even with a numerical advantage, they were still suppressed by Momoshiki Otsutsuki and were often defeated in just a few moves, making it difficult for them to pose a threat to Momoshiki.

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki clenched his five fingers, a black rod now appearing in his palm as a weapon. A white wave of energy suddenly erupted from beneath his feet, and he flashed toward Hashirama Senju.

Hashirama Senju's gaze sharpened, and two wooden strips simultaneously grew from his shoulders, gradually changing his appearance to form two clones.

Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique!

"Such petty tricks are completely ineffective against the noble Otsutsuki!"

Momoshiki Otsutsuki's speed did not decrease at all; on the contrary, it increased further. His extreme speed left a series of afterimages as the black rod in his hand thrust straight down towards Hashirama Senju's main body.

"Wood Release: All Cloth Bag Technique".

Two enormous wooden hands burst from the ground and joined together with disproportionately large force, clamping down on Momoshiki Otsutsuki's black rod. No matter how hard Momoshiki Otsutsuki tried, he could not pull the black rod out again.

Immediately, the ground shook more frequently, and seven or eight giant wooden hands reached out from different directions, slamming down on Momoshiki Otsutsuki from different angles.

Do you want to win by sheer numbers?

Faced with a large number of giant wooden hands, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was unable to unleash his Takami-san Reiō in time and could only retreat, flashing across the ground several times at high speed, barely managing to slip through the gaps between the wooden hands.

opportunity!

As Momoshiki Otsutsuki's figure flashed past a Flying Thunder God kunai, Minato Namikaze immediately saw an opportunity to attack. He activated the Flying Thunder God technique and instantly appeared behind Momoshiki, raising the kunai in his hand to stab Momoshiki in the back of the head.

However, the attack that was expected to succeed completely missed its mark. With the help of the Byakugan's 360-degree vision, Momoshiki Otsutsuki saw Minato Namikaze's movements clearly. He suddenly bent his upper body backward while moving at high speed, making Minato Namikaze's surprise attack miss its mark in a bridge-like posture.

Oops.

When his first attack missed, Minato Namikaze's vision met Momoshiki Otsutsuki's Byakugan, and he immediately felt his chakra become chaotic. Clearly, his opponent had taken the opportunity to use genjutsu, causing Minato's movements to pause for a moment.

White Eye - Illusion.

Using the Yin Nine-Tails chakra within his body, Minato Namikaze successfully broke free from the control of the genjutsu. Just as he was about to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away, he felt an immense force that was difficult to shake off fall on him.

Rinnegan - Universal Guidance.

With a soft sound, Minato Namikaze's chest was pierced by a black rod, and the chakra within his Edo Tensei body was immediately and completely disrupted, making it impossible for him to even activate the Flying Thunder God Technique.

"The second one!"

Momoshiki Otsutsuki's red Rinnegan flashed in his palm, and seven or eight black rods shot out simultaneously, pinning Minato Namikaze's body and limbs firmly to the ground, completely rendering him unable to move.

"father!"

Seeing Minato Namikaze severely injured, Naruto's eyes blazed with fury after their reunion. A large amount of Nine-Tails chakra overflowed from his body. Just as he was about to rush to his aid, Jiraiya grabbed him.

"Naruto, don't be impulsive. Our purpose in fighting is to protect you from falling into the enemy's hands. If they succeed, the entire ninja world will be destroyed."

To Jiraiya's surprise, Naruto seemed to calm down immediately. After struggling for a moment, the excitement on his face returned to calm.

"I understand, you lecherous immortal. I am a child with a father, and I will definitely not let him down."

Jiraiya's eyes showed a look of relief as he released his grip on Naruto's arm.
