The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

A sound that seemed to be right next to Boro suddenly rang in his ears, accompanied by a piercing crackling of thunder.

what?

Before Boro could react, a hand enveloped in lightning burst forth from in front of him, piercing a huge hole in his abdomen.

Most importantly, when Kakashi pulled his arm back out and kicked Boro several feet away, the huge gap did not heal quickly again; instead, residual electric sparks continued to flicker.

"This...how could this be..."

Boro stood up and looked down at the huge wound in his abdomen, momentarily bewildered.

Kakashi, still standing in the same spot, had lost the radiance of Chidori on his palm, but now held a fist-sized, pitch-black sphere filled with a dense chakra reaction.

"Without it, you can't have any more children, right?"

Kakashi looked down at the core device in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips beneath his mask. He then took out a sealing scroll and sealed it inside.

Using the Sharingan's powerful perception and observing the chakra reactions generated by Boro's rapid regeneration, Kakashi had already guessed that Boro was using a core device within his body to achieve regeneration.

The only difficult thing to control is that the opponent can freely control the core device to move within the body, changing its position every time it regenerates. That's why Kakashi had Naruto and Sasuke create an opportunity to lock onto the core device while Boro was regenerating, and then use the high-speed attack generated by Chidori to win by forcefully pulling the core device out of the opponent's body.

"You...how dare you...how dare you..."

With his core device removed, Boro's face contorted in rage, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot. Amidst his frantic shouts, he swelled to a massive size, transforming into a miniature Titan three zhang tall, its shadow completely enveloping the entire Class 7.

"It can't be real, right? He was seriously injured, and even Kakashi-sensei pulled out the core device to activate his regeneration, yet he didn't fall down, and he even grew so big like an inflating balloon..."

Naruto leaped backward, dodging a fist attack that was larger than his own body, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"No, Kakashi-sensei's attack is still effective. He seems to have lost his mind and is just attacking like a madman."

With the help of his Mangekyou Sharingan, Sasuke Uchiha could see the situation inside Boro's body more clearly. He could see that the chakra in the other's meridians was running wildly and was on the verge of getting out of control.

Just as Sasuke had predicted, Boro's eyes had lost focus, and he was aimlessly swinging his huge fists, pounding his surroundings, each blow causing the ground to tremble and leaving craters.

After flailing wildly for a while, Boro's body began to mutate rapidly, his lower body turning into something resembling octopus tentacles, and his massive body began to sway precariously.

"Very good, strike while the iron is hot. Now that Boro has lost that terrifying regenerative ability, let's finish him off with one blow."

Sasuke Uchiha pulled several kunai from his ninja tool bag, poised to strike Boro's vitals.

"Sasuke, wait a moment..."

Kakashi, who had been observing Boro's situation, immediately tried to stop Sasuke when he saw his actions, but it was too late.

With a whooshing sound, three kunai were thrown out of Sasuke's hands in a triangular formation. One pierced Boro's left eye, another pierced through his neck, and the last landed on Boro's chest.

"what……"

Boro, who was attacked, roared to the sky, and an amazing shockwave burst out from his body, not only knocking away all the kunai that had pierced his body, but also creating a huge shockwave.

"You Konoha ninjas, how dare you injure me to this extent!"

After being stabbed by Sasuke's kunai, Boro regained his senses and stared down at the members of Team 7 with wide eyes. Several fleshy tentacles on his feet swept out with lightning speed, binding Naruto and Sasuke in one fell swoop and slamming them heavily to the ground.

Even so, Boro was still unable to vent his anger. He raised his two heavy fists at the same time and slammed them down on Naruto and Sasuke with two loud thuds.

"Sasuke!"

Sakura Haruno was flustered by her concern. When she saw Sasuke being attacked, she immediately jumped up in a panic and threw a powerful punch at Boro, but it only made the other man's body sway slightly.

Before Sakura could attack again, a fleshy tentacle suddenly stretched out, tightly binding Sakura in mid-air and constricting her violently, causing her bones to creak and her to scream in agony.

"Divine Might".

Seeing the critical situation, Kakashi disregarded the need to conserve chakra. His three-tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly, revealing the Mangekyou Sharingan pattern, and locked onto Boro's head, attempting to use spatial powers to completely shred the opponent's skull.

However, having lost his core device, Boro's reaction speed was astonishing. Sensing the deadly danger, he raised his right arm and blocked Kakashi's Kamui lock.

puff!

In the twisting spatial vortex, most of Boro's right arm was completely shredded, which only made him more frenzied. The fleshy tentacle that was holding Haruno Sakura was flung downwards, crashing to the ground like an upside-down onion.

"Sakura!"

Kakashi's eyes widened at the sight. He rushed forward to save his comrade, but the aftereffects of using Kamui left him weak and his speed was only one-third of his normal speed.

If no one comes to the rescue, given Boro's current immense power, Sakura Haruno's skull will likely be shattered, and even Tsunade would be powerless to save her.

Just as Sakura Haruno was less than ten feet from the ground, a black shadow suddenly flashed past at an astonishing speed; even Kakashi couldn't see the figure clearly.

Is that Xiang Zechen?

There's no one else but Hyuga Sawatatsu who can display such high speeds that even the three-tomoe Sharingan can't catch them... right?

However, when Kakashi's Sharingan re-locked onto the location of the shadowy figure, he saw a figure enveloped in seemingly tangible blue chakra standing in mid-air, with one arm holding Sakura.

To Kakashi's dismay, the person who made the move was not Hyuga Sawatatsu as he had expected, but Uzumaki Naruto.

More importantly, a thick blue stripe appeared on Naruto's right cheek, connecting to a curved horn growing from his right forehead. His open eyes were cold and ruthless, like a god looking down on the world.

Chapter 264 Momoshiki Manifestation

"Naruto, you..."

Compared to Kakashi, who was on the ground, Sakura Haruno, who was being held by Naruto, felt it more acutely. Her familiar companion's demeanor had changed drastically, making him seem like a completely different person from usual.

"To use the power of the wedge for a mere inferior species... it seems I overestimated the fox's host..."

A strange tone came from Naruto's mouth, and what he said sent a chill down Sakura's spine.

"You're not Naruto, you..."

Before Sakura Haruno could finish her sentence, she felt the arms holding her loosen, and she was in a state of weightlessness, plummeting rapidly from the sky.

Throughout the entire process, Naruto, hovering high in the sky, merely watched coldly, clearly showing no concern whatsoever for Sakura Haruno's life or death.

"Impossible, Otsutsuki... Could it be a Karma?"

As an inner member of the Kara organization and the leader of the Otsutsuki cult, Boro was not completely ignorant of the Otsutsuki and was able to determine Naruto's current state.

Otsutsuki?

Kakashi, dragging his weary body, leaped up and caught Sakura Haruno in time. He trembled and looked at Naruto Uzumaki again, his eyes filled with fear.

Although Kakashi did not participate in the Battle of Mount Myōboku, Tsunade shared a lot of information with him before the trip, just in case, giving him a preliminary understanding of the Ōtsutsuki clan.

That was an enemy that was defeated only by the combined efforts of the four reanimated Hokage and Hyuga Sawatatsu, who had become the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki.

Isn't it said that the wedge thaws extremely slowly, taking at least several years before it begins to have an effect?

Why did the Otsutsuki's will awaken in Naruto's body so quickly?

"Kakashi-sensei, what exactly is going on?"

Sakura Haruno's lips trembled at this moment, clearly feeling completely unfamiliar with Naruto in front of her.

"This isn't the time to talk about that. Right now, we can only pray that Hinata Sawatatsu appears as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Kakashi was equally shocked, staring intently at Naruto as he slowly descended, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"Wait a minute, I am Lord Jigen's subordinate..."

Sensing the immense pressure emanating from Naruto, Boro, who had been incredibly arrogant just moments before, changed his expression drastically and attempted to defuse the conflict with words.

However, Boro only felt a blur before his eyes, and Naruto's position had already disappeared from his sight. The next moment, a muffled sound came from his chest. Naruto had teleported in front of him without anyone noticing and directly hit Boro's chest with his knee. The huge force that erupted even created a shockwave, sending the massive Boro flying more than ten feet away before he crashed heavily to the ground.

"Naruto can actually unleash such terrifying power?"

Sasuke, who had just been badly injured in Boro's attack, finally caught his breath and stared in disbelief at Naruto floating in mid-air. He felt that everything he had learned from Orochimaru seemed to have become completely useless.

Unless Susanoo is activated, it's unlikely that Boro can defeat Boro in his berserk state.

Naruto, who was in mid-air, looked down at his palm, seemingly dissatisfied with the power he had just unleashed. He bent down to continue his pursuit, but suddenly froze in mid-air.

"Tsk, the bodies of inferior creatures are really fragile, even a fox's host is no exception, and there's also chakra..."

The strange tone rang out again, filled with dissatisfaction with this fragile body.

"Fox, hand over your chakra, or else..."

Naruto raised his right hand, which was covered in blue markings, and aligned the Karma pendant on his palm with the sealing rune on his abdomen. His cold tone was full of threat.

"Damn it, how dare they threaten me..."

The nine-tailed human in the sealed space stood up, its nine huge tails dancing wildly behind it, its long orange fur standing on end, and its mouth wide open to reveal a row of sharp teeth.

However, despite Kurama's fierce expression, as if it wanted to devour Momoshiki's awakened will in one gulp, its body was incredibly honest, making no resistance to the immense suction force from Karma and allowing its own chakra to rapidly drain away.

Instantly, the Nine-Tails' chakra surged up like flames, turning the diamond pattern in Naruto's palm orange-red.

"Very good, that's enough."

Just a few seconds later, Naruto lowered his arm, having absorbed enough chakra.

In the distance, Boro, who was missing an arm, scrambled to his feet, glanced at Naruto, and then turned and fled, clearly recognizing the difference in strength between them.

However, Boro had only taken two steps when Naruto caught up with him as if he could teleport. Naruto first kicked Boro's massive body, sending him tumbling through the air, and then flashed back into the sky, rolling and stomping heavily on Boro's abdomen, leaving the huge opponent powerless to fight back.

"Let me think, what's the name of the fox's ninjutsu again?"

Naruto, who landed lightly on Boro's body, looked puzzled, and a large amount of chakra gathered in his raised palm.

"I remember now, Rasengan."

A blue orb of light, so familiar to Class 7, emerged from his palm and began to expand rapidly. In the blink of an eye, it grew to a diameter of two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters), and the white light it emitted illuminated the surrounding area as if it were daytime.

"Lord Momoshiki, spare me..."

As the Rasengan in the sky continued to grow, now exceeding five zhang in length, it caused Boro, lying on the ground powerless to resist, to beg for mercy.

However, Naruto, who was in mid-air, was completely oblivious and directly pressed the Rasengan in his palm onto Boro's body. The huge ball of light spun wildly, not only completely tearing Boro's body apart, but also blasting a huge crater into the ground.

"How terrifying! No wonder it took so many powerful individuals joining forces to defeat them..."

Even though his legs had gathered a large amount of chakra, Kakashi was still swayed from side to side by the oncoming gale, and he even had to raise his hand from time to time to break the huge flying rocks in order to barely avoid being blown away by the storm generated by the aftershocks.

Sasuke, standing beside her, even had to activate his Susanoo to barely protect himself and Sakura. Looking at the figure standing in mid-air, he had a direct understanding of the power of the Otsutsuki for the first time.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Boro had been completely reduced to ashes, leaving a huge crater on the ground, as if it had just been hit by a meteorite.

"Hmph, you with inferior bloodline, how dare you show your face in front of me."

As if he had just accomplished a small task, Naruto slowly turned around in mid-air and looked at the distance behind him.

A spatial passage slowly took shape, and Hyuga Zechen stepped out from it, looking Naruto up and down at the changes on his body.
