This trio of Ōtsutsuki was quite irritating. Shin found them particularly annoying right now.
Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki, the follower, was tolerable. But Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki looked at him with undisguised contempt.
Momoshiki, in particular, made no effort to hide his disdain.
Six Paths Madara’s eyes glinted coldly. “Are they all members of the Hyūga Clan?”
Seeing their Byakugan, Madara mistook them for Hyūga.
“No. They are from the Ōtsutsuki Clan. You should be familiar with the name.” Shin glanced at Madara.
Madara might not know the full details of the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but he definitely knew the surname. After all, the Sage of Six Paths’ surname was Ōtsutsuki.
“The power of the God Tree… it seems to be within him.”
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki looked at Six Paths Madara, a strange smile on his face, his thoughts unreadable.
——
“[Ding! System mission issued: Annihilate the Ōtsutsuki trio. Reward: Divine Replication Card x1.]”
——
Just then, the System suddenly popped up.
Shin’s eyes lit up, his gaze towards the Ōtsutsuki trio turning into that of a predator eyeing its prey.
“Gentlemen, let’s change locations.”
Shin opened a spatial gate with Yomotsu Hirasaka, then gestured to Six Paths Madara and walked through the portal alone.
Six Paths Madara hesitated for a moment, then followed Shin into the spatial gate.
“After them!”
Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki looked at Ōtsutsuki Urashiki. He remembered Urashiki also knew the Yomotsu Hirasaka technique.
At this moment, they even ignored Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
The God Tree was the most important thing to them, especially a fully matured God Tree.
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki’s one eye transformed into a six-tomoe Rinne-Sharingan, then he used Yomotsu Hirasaka to chase after Shin with Momoshiki and Kinshiki.
“No one will take what is mine.” Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s expression was icy. She also used Yomotsu Hirasaka to pursue them.
The Ten-Tails must be retrieved.
Only by reclaiming the Ten-Tails could she regain her full power and fight Momoshiki and the others.
———
In an instant, Shin reappeared on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War. But upon his return, Shin discovered another surprise.
“Well, well, the Sage of Six Paths, who hides his head and shows his tail, has finally revealed himself. Congratulations.”
Shin looked at Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
Before him stood Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
They had received power from the Sage of Six Paths. Naruto Uzumaki had entered Six Paths Sage Mode, and Sasuke Uchiha had awakened the six-tomoe Rinne-Sharingan.
But their state was a bit off. Their eyes were vacant, as if they were being controlled.
“Shin, if you’d come back a little later, I could have fought that old geezer—” Kushina said to Shin with frustration.
“You wouldn’t have won anyway. You should be glad I came back early.” Shin shot Kushina an annoyed glare.
“Don’t underestimate me. I’m very strong now.” Kushina clenched her fists confidently.
Kushina’s strength was roughly comparable to the current Six Paths Naruto and Six Paths Sasuke. Against Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, she would definitely not be a match.
“Shin Uzumaki…” Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki squinted at Shin, his meaning of confrontation clear.
“What’s going on?”
Six Paths Madara was a bit bewildered now. The series of events that had just unfolded left him confused, completely unsure of the situation.
The four Ōtsutsuki clansmen he had seen before had already shocked him. Now, the Sage of Six Paths had also appeared.
Shin had no time to answer Six Paths Madara’s question. He looked calmly at Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
“Why is your real body still hiding? Since you’ve been discovered, what’s the point of hiding anymore?”
Shin casually grasped a Truth-Seeking Orb, which transformed into a katana, and slashed towards the distance.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!”
A sword blade tore through the air, striking a mountain peak in the distance, causing an unparalleled collision.
The Sage of Six Paths before them was just a chakra clone. The real body was hidden on that distant mountain.
But as long as he appeared, he couldn’t escape Shin’s detection. Thinking he could hide from my senses? Dream on.
———
With a single slash, Shin expected Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki to come over. But he really didn’t want to show himself, even turning to leave.
“Where do you think you’re going? Get over here—Universal Pull!“
Shin’s palm generated a black hole-like suction force. Even Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki was pulled over by this gravitational force.
If the moon hadn’t shattered, Shin could have pulled it over with his gravitational force, let alone Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki.
After being pulled over by Shin using Universal Pull, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki’s expression was grim as he stared at Shin.
“Oh, they’ve finally arrived. But their speed is quite slow.”
Shin sensed the spatial fluctuation and looked towards the newly opened spatial hole. Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki, and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki emerged from it.
Then another pitch-black spatial hole opened, and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki also came out.
———
“Isn’t that Shin-sama’s Dōjutsu? How do they know it?” Karin couldn’t help but ask in surprise.
Hinata, hearing this, shook her head. She didn’t know either.
“Could Shin’s technique have been stolen?” Mei Terumī suspected.
After the Ōtsutsuki trio and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki appeared, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki could no longer remain calm, his gaze fixed on Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Actually, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s revival was within his expectations. Even Black Zetsu’s actions were completely under his control.
It was just that Kaguya Ōtsutsuki’s revival now hadn’t gone according to his plan. She had been released by breaking the seal directly.
And the other three Ōtsutsuki clansmen… Are they the enemies Mother also feared?
A ruthless glint gradually flashed in Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki’s eyes. The Shinobi world was considered his private property—he would not allow others to touch it.
———
“Hand over the God Tree, and I might spare your life.” Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki looked at Six Paths Madara with indifference.
With Madara’s personality, he was quite furious. Spare his life?? Who do you think you are?
“Momoshiki, I can give up the God Tree, but I want those eyes.” Ōtsutsuki Urashiki said to Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki.
And the person Ōtsutsuki Urashiki was pointing at was Shin…
“Fine.” Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki glanced at Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and nodded calmly.
They were partners.
If he wanted the God Tree, he had to give Ōtsutsuki Urashiki some benefits. Otherwise, they might not be able to cooperate in the future.
“Heh, another one who wants my eyes. What an idiot.” Shin chuckled coldly. The last one who coveted his eyes—Hamura Ōtsutsuki—had already been turned to dust by Shin.
