I, Naruto Uzumaki, don't need your approval.

Chapter 266 Speculations and Information about the Otsutsuki

In the ninja world, there are many ways to obtain information from captured ninjas.

Techniques like the Yamanaka clan's brain infiltration, the Uchiha clan's genjutsu interrogation, and the Rinnegan's innate memory-reading ability can all bypass the interrogation stage and directly obtain information.

However, Urashiki Otsutsuki is immune to most ninjutsu, and neither genjutsu nor Mind Transfer Jutsu can break through his defenses.

Ultimately, both ninjutsu and genjutsu are based on chakra and are therefore countered by the Otsutsuki clan.

At this moment, the only thing that could work is Sasuke's Rinnegan's ability to read memories, but it would take at least ten days to half a month to break through Otsutsuki Urashiki's defense.

Seeing the troubled look on Sasuke's face, Urashiki laughed loudly and said, "Don't waste your energy. Even if you kill me, you won't get the information you want. Why don't you try finding other ninjas and see if that works?"

Naruto rested his chin on his hand, gazing thoughtfully at Urashiki within the sealing array.

Urashiki's plan is not hard to guess. Even after death, members of the Hoshizora Otsutsuki clan can transform themselves into a Karma, which is then engraved on the most recent ninja. Eventually, over time, they will be reborn on the target ninja.

However, Otsutsuki only uses this ability as a last resort.

After all, the power of the Otsutsuki is too great. Ordinary people simply cannot withstand this power and will only die along with the Otsutsuki, disappearing completely from the world.

At that moment, Naruto suddenly remembered something extremely important.

Ordinary ninjas cannot withstand the power of the Otsutsuki, but ninjas like him and Sasuke definitely can. Why didn't Urashiki and Momoshiki choose him and Sasuke as candidates for reincarnation?

Could it be that the principle of chakra reincarnation of Asura and Indra is the same as that of the wedge?

Therefore, the strength of Ashura and Indra reincarnations will stand out, and they will continue to reincarnate and fight over a thousand years. Urashiki and Momoshiki also gave up reincarnating into Naruto and Sasuke for this reason.

After all, a ninja who has already had a wedge inserted cannot have another wedge inside their body.

In this way, the reason why the personalities of the Asuras and Indras throughout history are similar can also be found: it is because the data of the Asuras and Indras are unsealed in the reincarnations, which is why similar personalities appear.

Thinking of this, Naruto looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through space, and saw the Sage of Six Paths in the Pure Land.

The Sage of Six Paths couldn't possibly be unaware of the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra. If these reincarnations truly are Karma, then what was the Sage of Six Paths' purpose? Does a Pure Land also exist in a world outside the Shinobi World?

More and more doubts arose in Naruto's mind, which eventually transformed into a soaring fighting spirit.

Regardless of the Sage of Six Paths' motives, or whether Ashura and Indra's reincarnations are wedges, as long as he is strong enough, he has the confidence to face the unknown future.

Over the next few days, Naruto and Sasuke worked together to break through Urashiki Otsutsuki's defenses.

As time went on, Sasuke's condition worsened. Even with Naruto providing chakra, he couldn't break the spell for long. After two hours, he went to rest.

After Sasuke left the interrogation room, Urashiki Otsutsuki suddenly said, "Sasuke Uchiha's condition is getting worse and worse. If he continues to stay in this era, he probably won't live much longer."

Naruto frowned: "You mean, he suffered a backlash from time and space?"

Urashiki Otsutsuki nodded slightly: "Changing the past through the plow comes at a price. Forcibly staying for a week is already the limit. Even someone like me, who is an expert in time and space, cannot withstand anything more than that."

"You're an expert in time travel?" Naruto glanced at Urashiki.

Urashiki Otsutsuki's expression turned somewhat grim, but he quickly composed himself and said in a gentle tone, "Of course, if I weren't confident in my mastery of space-time, I wouldn't dare take such a huge risk to come here and steal your chakra."

"I underestimated the backlash of time and space, and ultimately lost to you and Sasuke. Now that I think about it, this should also be part of the backlash of time and space, otherwise I might not have lost."

Looking at the stubborn Urashiki Otsutsuki, Naruto chuckled and said, "Thank you for the information. I can have Sasuke return to his time first, and then interrogate you alone to see how long you can withstand the backlash of time."

Urashiki Otsutsuki clearly hadn't expected this, and his expression shifted between light and dark. He then said calmly, "Whatever you want, but you really should consider my suggestion to become a member of the Otsutsuki clan and fight against Kaguya Otsutsuki."

"You may not know this, but in order to rebel against the Otsutsuki main family, Kaguya Otsutsuki planned to turn all life in the ninja world into White Zetsu, including you. You don't need to risk your life for Kaguya. Let me go, and I can get the main family to accept you."

"Why the ninja world of all places?"

Naruto gave an irrelevant answer, staring intently into Urashiki Otsutsuki's eyes: "According to Sasuke's intelligence, your Otsutsuki clan has already destroyed many inhabited planets, so you can completely let the ninja world go."

"We must kill the traitor Kaguya Otsutsuki! The Otsutsuki will not tolerate the existence of traitors!"

"Even though two Otsutsuki have already sacrificed their lives, and judging from Sasuke's intelligence, you Otsutsuki weren't that united. Otherwise, Naruto and Sasuke in that era would definitely not have been able to defeat the combined forces of you, Momoshiki, and Kinshiki."

Faced with Naruto's question, Urashiki Otsutsuki was speechless for a moment and did not know how to answer.

The ninja world is not just a planet with extremely large life force; there is also a tomb on this planet, and the value of this tomb is even more important than the Chakra Fruit.

Urashiki's expression betrayed his inner thoughts, causing Naruto to fall into deep thought.

After carefully analyzing Urashiki's movements, he discovered many suspicious points. Otsutsuki clan members usually act in pairs, but Urashiki had no teammates. Were they dead or were they eaten by Urashiki?

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Naruto took out Urashiki's fishing rod and basket and stepped into the sealing barrier.

These two treasures can steal a ninja's chakra, and only sealing techniques can barely stop them. He doesn't even know if they can steal Urashiki's chakra.

Naruto swung his fishing rod at Urashiki, and the hook struck, pulling out Urashiki's chakra.

He then swallowed Urashiki's chakra in one gulp, diluted it with the massive Nine-Tails chakra within his body, and revealed a satisfied expression. Urashiki's chakra contained the power of all things in the universe and the power of bloodline limit.

This chakra seems to be able to be used to perform the Six Paths Sage Techniques and condense Truth-Seeking Balls.

Upon witnessing this scene, Urashiki finally began to feel fear, cowering within the sealing array. He could not accept that his chakra had been devoured, which was the greatest humiliation for a noble Otsutsuki.

Just then, a long-awaited notification sound rang in Naruto's mind; it was about Boruto:

"Boruto's favorability has reached the approval level. You have obtained information that Boruto will gather in the future. Boruto, who has awakened the Byakugan, hopes to change the tragedy of the past."

Chapter 267 The Secret of the Ninja World and the Death of Urashiki

A look of surprise flashed in Naruto's eyes, and he then accepted the information that Boruto had obtained in the future.

After digesting this information, Naruto squinted at Urashiki Otsutsuki, a smile gradually spreading across his face. The information contained a method for quickly reading Otsutsuki's memories, as well as memories related to Isshiki Otsutsuki and the artificial humans.

Naruto was actually quite familiar with Isshiki Otsutsuki.

That was the fourth Starry Sky Otsutsuki to appear after Naruto and Sasuke defeated Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki during the Boruto era. Unlike the previous three reckless and unlucky ones, Otsutsuki Isshiki had been lurking in the ninja world for a thousand years and was much stronger than Urashiki and the others.

The reason why the Otsutsuki clans don't help each other is quite simple.

To plant the Divine Tree and absorb the planet's chakra, the Otsutsuki must be fed to the Ten-Tails so that it can evolve into the Divine Tree. Therefore, these Otsutsuki who crossed the starry sky are, in a sense, competitors.

Even more important information was the record about Otsutsuki Shibai.

Otsutsuki Shibai was one of the strongest members of the Otsutsuki main family. He had devoured countless chakra fruits, yet the body of such a god-like being appeared in the ninja world.

It was by using the corpse of Ōtsutsuki Shibai that Ōtsutsuki Isshiki was able to cultivate artificial humans comparable to Ōtsutsuki.

In this case, Urashiki's reason for hiding everywhere is very simple: he is searching for the corpse of Otsutsuki Shibai in the ninja world. Finding the corpse of this Otsutsuki god is much more important than punishing the traitor Otsutsuki Kaguya.

Naruto pulled his wandering thoughts back, and once again drew upon Urashiki's chakra, using a technique to read memories from it.

According to information from Boruto's future memories, while the Otsutsuki and the ninja Fudo can be reincarnated using chakra, they also reveal a major weakness: the Otsutsuki's chakra also stores relevant information.

If one can simulate Urashiki Otsutsuki's chakra, one can easily break through Urashiki's defense.

A dozen minutes later, Naruto broke through Urashiki's defense, and then, seeing Urashiki's terrified expression, he looked at Urashiki's extremely valuable blue Rinnegan.

Seemingly sensing Naruto's murderous intent, Urashiki attempted a final act of resistance, but all his efforts were in vain.

Naruto directly removed Urashiki's Rinnegan, and the moment the Rinnegan was removed, Urashiki's body crumbled inch by inch, as if struck by the All-Killing Ash Bones, turning into ashes.

This scene made Naruto frown and begin to think about the cause of Urashiki's death.

Whether Urashiki died because he lost his Rinnegan or because he suffered a backlash from time and space, in any case, he did not obtain much valuable information from Urashiki.

Sensing the chakra fluctuations, Sasuke, who was resting nearby, rushed over.

Seeing that the sealing array was empty, Sasuke frowned and said, "Naruto, Urashiki Otsutsuki escaped?"

Naruto gently shook his head and said, "No, Urashiki must have suffered a backlash from time and space, which is why he was reduced to ashes, leaving only these Rinnegan eyes. But are you feeling better? Can you continue to stay in this era?"

"I don't know, it probably won't last long, but Boruto's side seems to be able to hold on for a long time."

Naruto's expression turned serious again, and he continued, "When Urashiki was reduced to ashes, I obtained a lot of useful information from them, which may be of some help to your world."

"First, a wedge has been planted in Boruto, and he will transform into Boruto in the future."

"Secondly, in your world, besides Urashiki, there is also an Otsutsuki named Isshiki. He has been lurking in the ninja world for a thousand years. His goal is to take Boruto away, feed Boruto to the Ten-Tails in another dimension, and reactivate the Infinite Tsukuyomi technique."

"Third, within the organization that Otsutsuki Isshiki belongs to, there are many henchmen whose strength is comparable to that of the Five Kage. The strongest of them is even stronger than you and Naruto. You need to be careful after you return to your own world."

After listening to Naruto's admonition, Sasuke nodded solemnly.

This information was a great help, making him too embarrassed to ask Naruto about the Rinnegan.

Since Sasuke didn't bring it up, Naruto naturally wouldn't bring it up either. He changed the subject and said, "By the way, while we still have time, let's study the Otsutsuki Treasure Plow. If we can figure out the formula, we might be able to travel between parallel worlds and help each other."

Sasuke nodded slightly. If they could really help each other, that would be the best outcome.

As they spoke, the two arrived at the room where the plow was sealed. The little turtle, sensing Naruto and Sasuke's chakra, opened its eyes and said:

"Lord Urashiki Otsutsuki has fallen. Is Lord Sasuke planning to return to his own timeline?"

Walking up to the little turtle, Naruto asked directly, "Plow, with your ability, can I travel to his era?"

"Of course, but the risks are unknown," the little turtle said mechanically.

Naruto paused for a moment, then continued, "Do you know that the world I live in and the world he live in are actually parallel worlds? How many parallel worlds actually exist in the ninja world?"

“I don’t know…” the little turtle added, “I’m just a tool that was designed; I don’t know anything else.”

Seeing that the little turtle knew nothing when asked, Naruto and Sasuke frowned and then took apart the little turtle to observe its internal structure.

The little turtle's structure is very simple. Beneath its shell is a core that emits blue light, somewhat similar to the energy of a dragon vein, but with a significantly higher quality. Perhaps the little turtle is a dragon vein from another planet.

After repackaging the little turtle, Naruto formed hand seals and released a shadow clone.

The plan was to have the shadow clone activate the little turtle and travel to different eras, but just a few seconds later, the shadow clone disappeared into the time vortex, only transmitting a very short image.

In the scene, the Fourth Hokage and Jiraiya teamed up to defeat the Nine-Tails, and together with the Third Hokage, they resealed the Nine-Tails.

This scene made Naruto fall into deep thought, recalling his previous trip to the Dragon Vein, and the era his shadow clones traveled to. Could it be the parallel world he had visited...?

After resting for a while to replenish his chakra, Naruto continued to send his shadow clones through time and space.

The images transmitted back this time were still related to the Fourth Hokage. The shadow clones didn't even have time to make contact with the surrounding ninjas before they dissipated due to the backlash of time and space.

After several attempts, Naruto confirmed a lot of information.

The little turtle didn't travel to the past, but to a parallel world. Including its own world and the future world where Sasuke is, only three worlds have been discovered so far, corresponding to the past, present, and future respectively.

In addition, ninjas who use the little turtle to travel through time can reveal information, but they cannot stay for long.

The small turtle's shape is somewhat similar to that of the Loulan Dragon Vein, and it seems to be a treasure created using the core of the dragon vein. It is very likely a treasure left behind by Otsutsuki Shibai.
