In mid-air, Otsutsuki Momoshiki stared at the flying Nine-Tails before him. Although he was furious that his massive chakra sphere had been kicked away, the emotion in his eyes was not anger alone—it was excitement.
"Oh… such terrifying chakra," Momoshiki said, licking his lips. "Not bad. Very not bad."
His gaze locked onto Naruto as if he were looking at the most exquisite delicacy in existence.
Nearby, Otsutsuki Kinshiki had finally recovered from the earlier injuries. He leaped forward and said in a deep voice, "Lord Momoshiki, shall we attack together?"
In the past, Momoshiki would have scolded him without hesitation. Assistance? From Kinshiki? That would have been an insult to his pride.
But now, Momoshiki did not refuse.
The fox in front of him was far stronger than expected.
"Fine," Momoshiki said calmly. "We go together."
Seeing this, Sasuke immediately turned to Naruto and said in a low voice, "Naruto, let's join forces. Dragging this out will only cause more trouble."
Naruto nodded decisively. "Alright. Together."
As he spoke, Naruto withdrew the massive Nine-Tails manifestation and transitioned smoothly into Six Paths Sage Mode, his body radiating a calm yet terrifying pressure.
"Sasuke," Naruto said, eyes sharp, "let's move."
Sasuke drew his sword and charged forward alongside Naruto.
Behind Kinshiki, the familiar red halo reappeared. From within it, he pulled out a massive crimson battle axe, its surface pulsating with violent chakra.
"Do not disrespect Lord Momoshiki!" Kinshiki roared as he lunged forward.
Sasuke snorted coldly. "Naruto, leave him to me. Go handle Momoshiki."
Without waiting for a reply, Sasuke rushed straight ahead. With a deafening clang, his blade collided with Kinshiki's crimson axe, sparks exploding in every direction.
At the same time, Naruto relied purely on the Yang Power granted by the Sage of Six Paths, focusing entirely on physical combat as he closed in on Momoshiki.
Momoshiki sneered and met him head-on.
The two figures clashed like bolts of lightning, darting across the battlefield near the moon's surface. Fists, kicks, elbows—every exchange shook the ground beneath them. Sometimes Naruto was sent flying; sometimes Momoshiki was smashed backward.
Pure taijutsu.
Neither side gained a clear advantage.
Momoshiki quickly realized the problem. Naruto wasn't using chakra techniques at all. There was nothing to absorb. Worse, Momoshiki had already consumed all the chakra pills he carried.
Meanwhile, Naruto's Nine-Tails chakra surged again, a massive tail sweeping across the battlefield.
Momoshiki clicked his tongue, visibly irritated.
This fox was unbelievably troublesome.
After another violent collision, Momoshiki abruptly disengaged. His Rinnegan shimmered as space distorted beside him, and he vanished into a spatial rift.
Naruto halted and scanned his surroundings, senses fully extended.
More than ten seconds later, space twisted behind Naruto.
Momoshiki reappeared and launched a surprise attack.
Naruto snorted coldly, spun around, and delivered a powerful kick.
Momoshiki barely stabilized himself, his expression darkening.
Naruto grinned. "That move? Kaguya used it before. I'm used to it. What—were you planning to drag me into different dimensions to fight?"
Momoshiki's face twisted with fury. Naruto had spoken his exact intention.
Naruto clenched his fists. "As long as you can't absorb chakra, you can't grow stronger. And without that, you can't defeat me. If anything, my power surpasses yours."
At that moment, Kinshiki screamed in pain once again.
Sasuke's Amaterasu black flames had ignited him yet again.
Momoshiki turned sharply, eyes filled with rage.
Nearby, Toneri maintained a vigilant stance, his Tenseigan active as he guarded against any possible sneak attack from Urashiki.
Momoshiki attempted to sense Urashiki's presence—but found nothing.
"Where did that idiot go?!" Momoshiki roared inwardly.
Sasuke shouted from afar, "Naruto, once I finish him off, I'll come help you deal with Momoshiki!"
Naruto replied calmly, "Got it."
Kinshiki howled in agony as the black flames devoured him. Momoshiki tried to rush over, but Naruto instantly blocked his path.
"I won't let you go."
Naruto's gaze was unwavering.
Kinshiki, realizing the situation was spiraling out of control, made a desperate decision. If this continued, even Momoshiki might be captured.
With a furious roar, Kinshiki broke free from Sasuke's Susanoo suppression, slammed Naruto aside, and rushed to Momoshiki's side.
"Lord Momoshiki!" Kinshiki shouted desperately. "Don't hesitate! Eat me! Just like before! If you don't, you'll be captured too!"
Momoshiki trembled, teeth clenched, struggling with the decision.
"…I know."
He extended his right hand.
Kinshiki screamed as his body was forcibly absorbed, transforming into a chakra fruit that Momoshiki devoured without hesitation.
Sasuke rejoined Naruto, his expression grim. "This… this is the form you mentioned."
Naruto stared silently.
A burst of white vapor exploded outward.
After consuming Kinshiki's chakra fruit, Momoshiki underwent a terrifying transformation. His eyes turned golden. A golden Rinnegan opened on his forehead, while the Rinnegan in both hands also shifted to gold. His hair grew long and wild, black markings spreading across his body and face, and his horns elongated and straightened.
Toneri gasped. "He… he actually ate his own companion…"
Momoshiki exhaled slowly, confidence overflowing.
"To force me this far… you may die with pride," he said coldly. "Fox, you will be next."
He charged forward.
"Come," Momoshiki said, voice brimming with madness.
Sasuke narrowed his eyes. "I remember this scene."
The memory from their previous life surged forth—the same expression, the same overwhelming pressure.
Drawing his sword, Sasuke said sharply, "Naruto, together. Let's teach him a lesson."
Naruto grinned. "Yeah."
They charged.
Momoshiki raised his hands. A red halo formed behind him as he summoned a Wave God Sword, blocking Sasuke's slash effortlessly.
Naruto struck with pure taijutsu, but Momoshiki caught his fist midair.
"You are all my chakra fruit!" Momoshiki laughed.
Naruto snorted. "That's not happening."
The Nine-Tails' chakra flared once more.
Momoshiki sneered. "Size comparison? I can do that too."
In an instant, he used multiple elemental transformations at once—Fire Release, Earth Release, and molten chakra. A massive lava giant emerged, a colossal firebird took flight, and a twisted beast resembling a dog-serpent—Inukai Takerunomikoto—charged forward.
"Hahaha! Die!" Momoshiki roared.
The dog-serpent clamped onto the Nine-Tails' shoulder and leg. The firebird scorched the battlefield from above. The lava giant slammed its fist downward.
At that moment, Sasuke placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder.
Susanoo manifested.
The Nine-Tails donned Susanoo armor—the legendary Majestic Attire Susanoo reappeared.
The lava giant's punch was blocked by Susanoo's shield.
"Now, Naruto!" Sasuke roared.
Naruto responded instantly. The Nine-Tails tore the dog-serpent apart and kicked the lava giant backward.
Sasuke's blade flashed.
Naruto drew his chakra-enhanced blade and cleaved the firebird in half.
Momoshiki screamed in rage.
"YOU WILL ALL DIE!"
The lava giant charged again.
Naruto and Sasuke moved as one.
Susanoo Sword!
With a single decisive slash, the lava giant was cleaved in half.
The battlefield fell silent.
So far—
Otsutsuki Momoshiki was defeated.
