The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

The next moment, Jiraiya immediately regretted it.

Naruto's eyes suddenly appeared with deep eyeshadow, and he entered Sage Mode, instantly bursting forth with astonishing speed as he rushed towards Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

"Let go of my dad!"

Facing the approaching Naruto, Momoshiki Otsutsuki was not surprised but delighted. He flashed in front of Naruto and punched him in the abdomen.

"cough."

Naruto's eyes bulged slightly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was grabbed by Momoshiki Otsutsuki and sent flying into the sky, hovering high in the air.

These inferior creatures have no ability to fly, so who can stop me from devouring the fox's chakra now!

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki grinned maliciously, and the Rinnegan in his palm emitted a red glow as he began to draw chakra from the Nine-Tails once more.

Chapter 242 I am a human, not an Otsutsuki

"Naruto!"

Seeing Naruto captured by the enemy in his impulsive act, everyone present was shocked and exclaimed in surprise.

Hashirama Senju's two wooden clones each pressed down on the ground, and a wooden dragon and a wooden figure immediately rose from the ground. Driven by a large amount of chakra, their size continued to increase, attempting to close the distance and launch an attack.

"spot!"

Meanwhile, Hashirama Senju's main body immediately shot towards another battlefield, clearly hoping that Madara Uchiha would break free from Kinshiki's entanglement, use Susanoo to lead them to catch up with Momoshiki Otsutsuki, interrupt his absorption of the Nine-Tails' chakra, and retrieve Naruto.

"I won't let you affect Lord Momoshiki."

Knowing that the moment had come, Kinshiki Otsutsuki was determined not to let them escape the battlefield. He drew another strangely shaped scythe from his Bowei God sword and hurled it forward with all his might. The scythe pierced through the armor of Madara Uchiha's Complete Body Susanoo. The blade was stuck in the bones, while the other end was held firmly by Kinshiki Otsutsuki, creating a tug-of-war. The force of the attack cracked the ground, preventing the Susanoo, which was flapping its wings and trying to take flight, from leaving the ground to pursue Momoshiki Otsutsuki.

Despite the dire situation, Hashirama Senju remained remarkably calm. A cloud of white mist rose up, and from who knows where, he conjured a giant shuriken. He then forcefully hurled it at Kinshiki Otsutsuki, followed by pressing his palms together and beginning to form hand seals.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

Puffs of white mist shot out, and seven or eight identical weapons appeared above, below, left, and right of the giant shuriken that was hovering at high speed in mid-air, all of which shot towards Kinshiki Otsutsuki at the same time.

As soon as Kinshiki Otsutsuki lets go and dodges, he will no longer be able to restrain Madara Uchiha, allowing Susanoo to regain its freedom and rush into the sky to retrieve Naruto!

"Hey!"

To Hashirama Senju's surprise, Kinshiki Otsutsuki merely let out a cold laugh in the face of the numerous giant shuriken, still gripping the taut scythe handle tightly, completely ignoring them.

puff!puff!puff!

Numerous giant shuriken whistled past, immediately leaving several potentially fatal wounds on Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki's body. However, Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki seemed oblivious, and even increased his strength under the stimulation of the intense pain, pulling the Susanoo, which was two feet off the ground, back to the ground.

Although both are members of the Otsutsuki clan, Otsutsuki Kinshiki is merely Momoshiki's servant and bodyguard, and he takes it for granted that he will sacrifice his life as long as it benefits his master.

"He's a real man!"

Hashirama Senju showed an expression of appreciation, but he showed no mercy whatsoever. A wooden dragon emerged from the ground and tightly wrapped around Kinshiki Otsutsuki, causing the heavily injured Kinshiki to lose his grip on the scythe and freeing Susanoo.

"Hashirama, come up here!"

Madara Uchiha manipulated Susanoo to flap its wings forcefully, swooping down towards Hashirama Senju, who was carrying Kinshiki Otsutsuki in his hand. Hashirama then leaped up and landed on Susanoo's shoulder.

"We both have hostages now. If you don't want anything to happen to your companions, return Naruto to us."

Although Susanoo was enormous, it was incredibly fast. After a few flaps of its wings, it found Momoshiki Otsutsuki, who was extracting the Nine-Tails' chakra high in the sky.

"Lord Momoshiki, don't worry about me. Everything is for the glory of the Otsutsuki!"

Before Momoshiki could speak, Kinshiki, whose bones were creaking from being squeezed by the wooden dragon, shouted, displaying a heroic demeanor as if he were facing certain death.

"You inferior creatures, the Otsutsuki will never be threatened!"

To enhance his persuasiveness, Momoshiki Otsutsuki not only did not loosen his grip on Naruto's neck, but also increased the absorption speed of the Rinnegan placed in front of the seal on his abdomen, causing Naruto to let out even more painful screams.

Seeing Momoshiki Otsutsuki disregard the lives of his comrades, Hashirama Senju's face showed anger, and Madara Uchiha, realizing that the threat had failed, directly raised the twin swords of Susanoo and slashed at his opponent.

However, the Otsutsuki clan, who are born with the ability to fly, have a speed that is even more agile than birds in the sky. Momoshiki Otsutsuki's figure is as elusive as a willow catkin dancing in the wind, and he easily avoids the attacks of Susanoo and Hashirama Senju every time. For a time, the two of them were helpless against each other.

How can this fox have such a huge amount of chakra? It's only been half extracted?

That takes too much time!

After dodging Susanoo's attack once again, Momoshiki Otsutsuki showed a look of surprise on his face.

Why is the fox's chakra so enormous, even though they are both tailed beasts?

Seeing Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju relentlessly pursuing him, in order to buy more time, Momoshiki Otsutsuki paused the extraction of the Nine-Tails' chakra, took a step forward, and burst into an astonishing high speed in the sky, shooting off into the distance.

So fast!

Madara Uchiha tried to catch up, but found that even with full power, Susanoo's flight speed was far slower than his opponent's. Not only did he fail to close the distance, but he also watched his opponent gradually move away.

It seems we can't count on the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha to bring Naruto back.

Standing atop Mount Myōboku, Orochimaru immediately made a decision, took out a Flying Thunder God kunai, and channeled his chakra into it.

Hmph, idiot!

Looking at Susanoo, whose distance from him was constantly widening, Momoshiki Otsutsuki smiled.

After I finish absorbing the fox's chakra, I will surely obtain a lot of high-quality pills. At that time, all these inferior creatures will die, and even their souls will be destroyed!

Seeing that the spatial barrier of Mount Myōboku was already ahead, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's smile became even brighter.

Just then, an extremely large chakra fluctuation suddenly appeared. Both Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Hashirama Senju seemed to sense it at the same time and looked in the same direction.

Who has arrived?

Are they reinforcements or enemies?

Before Momoshiki could even see the newcomer's appearance clearly with his Byakugan, a figure suddenly appeared, grabbing Momoshiki's hand and forcing him to release his grip with immense force, causing Naruto to plummet from the sky.

"Are you...one of our kind?"

As Momoshiki Otsutsuki stared at the two long horns protruding from Hyuga Sawatatsu's forehead, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately blurted out...

"Compared to the Otsutsuki, I still identify more with my human identity."

Hinata Zechen smiled faintly, and with his other hand, he punched Otsutsuki Momoshiki in the chest with lightning speed, causing his entire body to shoot backward like a cannonball and crash heavily onto the ground of Mount Myōboku.

Hyuga Zechen did not pursue further. His figure flashed again, and he grabbed Naruto's collar, successfully stopping his fall.

"It's you!"

Upon arriving, Madara Uchiha saw Hyuga Zechen and immediately gritted his teeth. Without hesitation, he manipulated Susanoo to raise the twin swords in his hands and slash straight down at Hyuga Zechen.

Chapter 243 Deceit and Treachery

The last time I lost to Hyuga Sawatatsu was entirely due to the weak strength of the sacrifice used in the Impure World Reincarnation.

Things are different now. With the help of the Hashirama cells contained in the sacrificial offering, and combined with the almost limitless chakra of the Edo Tensei body, my strength is now incredibly close to my peak strength in life. A mere junior...

Madara Uchiha's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in his eyes began to spin wildly, making the Susanoo's radiance even more dazzling.

Facing the Susanoo Twin Swords, which were powerful enough to split a mountain, Hyuga Sawatatsu simply closed his five fingers, grasped the Six Paths Staff that appeared, and then slightly adjusted its position, using the crescent shape at the top to block the Twin Swords' slashing point.

When the two collided, an incredible scene unfolded.

The two giant swords were successfully parried by the slender Six Paths Staff. No matter how much Madara Uchiha activated Susanoo, all his immense power was like a mud ox sinking into the sea, having no effect whatsoever.

Click!

With a soft sound, a crack appeared at the point of contact between the two longswords and the Six Paths Staff, and then spread out at an extremely fast speed, causing the two Susanoo swords to shatter into crystal fragments of different sizes, which scattered in all directions.

"impossible!"

Although Madara Uchiha had witnessed Hyuga Zetsu's immense power before, he had always attributed his defeat to the limitations imposed by the Edo Tensei technique. Now, his highly anticipated Perfect Susanoo was completely shattered by a mere parry from the opponent?

"who are you?"

Hashirama Senju leaped back to the ground from Susanoo, looked Hyuga Zetsu up and down, and instead of making a move rashly, asked a question.

Judging from his appearance, Hyuga Zetsu is closer to the Otsutsuki clan at this moment. However, as soon as he appeared, he knocked away Otsutsuki Momoshiki and even took back Naruto, making it impossible for Senju Hashirama to determine whether he was friend or foe.

"First Hokage, this is Hyuga Sawatatsu, a Jonin of Konoha, and a member of the Hyuga clan."

Before Hyuga Zechen could speak, Jiraiya, who had rushed over, spoke first, fearing that it might cause a misunderstanding.

"Are you sure he's a Konoha ninja? I can sense that a terrifying being, far surpassing even the Tailed Beasts, is sealed within him, and his appearance is exactly like that of the Otsutsuki..."

Tobirama Senju retracted his fingers from the ground, his face showing an unprecedented solemnity.

Even when Madara Uchiha appeared, Tobirama Senju did not show such an expression, which shows his fear of Sawa Tatsumi.

"According to Hyuga Zetsu, he stole a complete Ten-Tails from another Otsutsuki member and became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki..."

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, the ground beneath his feet trembled violently, and countless pebbles shot towards him like cannonballs, interrupting his subsequent words.

The location where Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki was punched deep into the ground resembled a volcanic eruption, with large amounts of lava gushing out. Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki stood at the top, his gaze towards Hyuga Zechen filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

"Who are you? How do you possess a complete Ten-Tails...?"

Even within the Ōtsutsuki clan, not every member is qualified to possess the Ten-Tails. Only those who gain the approval of the Ōtsutsuki elders are granted the Ten-Tails and sent to other planets to plant the Divine Tree in order to obtain the Chakra Fruit.

The Otsutsuki Momoshiki duo originally also possessed a Ten-Tails. They had already completed the planting of the Divine Tree on another planet, harvested the Chakra Fruit, and sent it back to the Otsutsuki clan's territory, waiting for the elders to refine it into a pill so that they could consume it and gain even greater power.

Therefore, Momoshiki Otsutsuki was extremely surprised that Hyuga Sawatatsu was able to possess the Ten-Tails and wastefully seal it into his body to obtain power, instead of following the Otsutsuki clan's tradition of planting the Divine Tree and harvesting chakra fruits to enhance himself.

"This is the Ten-Tails of Isshiki Otsutsuki."

This wasn't a secret, so Hinata Sawatatsu didn't intend to hide it.

"I originally thought that Kaguya was the greatest disgrace of the Otsutsuki clan to be sealed away by her own offspring for a thousand years. I never expected that Isshiki would be even more useless. Not only was he killed by a lower-level creature, but even the Ten-Tails was taken away from him."

Momoshiki Otsutsuki's face was full of disdain, believing that Isshiki and Kaguya, this pair of hidden talents, had completely disgraced the Otsutsuki clan.

“Fellow clansman, since you have the blood of the Otsutsuki clan flowing in your veins, I will give you a chance. As long as you hand over the Ten-Tails, I will take you back to the clan and ask the elders to bestow a name upon you, so that you may become a noble member of the Otsutsuki clan, transcending death and becoming an immortal being.”

After discovering that Hyuga Sawatatsu possessed the complete Ten-Tails, Otsutsuki Momoshiki's attention completely shifted away from Naruto.

Compared to the nine tailed beasts that have been separated for thousands of years, a complete ten-tailed beast is undoubtedly more valuable. It can be transformed into a divine tree without any other effort, directly plundering the chakra and natural energy of this planet.

Although Hyuga Zetsu had just defeated him with an overwhelming advantage, Otsutsuki Momoshiki blamed everything on the Ten-Tails inside the opponent, and was unwilling to admit Hyuga Zetsu's strength.

If the other party believes it to be true and actively removes the Ten-Tails, then how to deal with the other party will depend on Momoshiki Otsutsuki's decision.

Originally, Kinshiki was needed as a sacrifice to activate the Divine Tree, but now that Hyuga Zetsu is younger and stronger, he will surely be able to harvest the best chakra fruit from this planet.

Harvesting another Chakra Fruit and returning to the clan would be a tremendous achievement, and the elders would surely reward me with generous elixirs. Then, I, Momoshiki Otsutsuki, could evolve into a true god like Lord Shibai, transcending the dimensional barrier and becoming a truly immortal being!
