The reason he couldn't stay calm was not only because this ability was extremely rare even among the Otsutsuki, but also because it was especially effective against him!
Who could've known he was just a few decades old!
If it were those ancient elders who had lived for thousands of years, going back a few decades through time would be harmless. But if he himself were sent back decades, he might not even exist anymore!
However, he had overestimated Seiki.
Given Seiki's current strength, a few months was already his limit for Time Reversal. Reversing time by decades? He simply couldn't do it no matter what!
Momoshiki instinctively looked outside the arena at Kinshiki. Should he use Kinshiki as a shield?
Hearing Momoshiki's question, Seiki smiled politely. "Please forgive me!"
Momoshiki snorted coldly, "You're just a lowly human! How could you master such power? Impossible!"
However, before he could finish, Seiki chuckled, "I still have things to do. Let's continue this next time!"
With that, Seiki flew directly toward his judge's seat.
Momoshiki stood rooted on the spot. What did Seiki mean by "please forgive me"? Was that just a polite excuse?
"A total disgrace! A total disgrace!" Momoshiki murmured, his eyes burning with fury.
Neji patted his chest, standing next to them. "Who do you think you are? Just because you hit on someone, does that mean they have to respond? Our referee's swamped. Being able to respond twice was already being extremely polite."
Momoshiki raged, "You don't actually think I wouldn't destroy the world, do you?"
"Oh, I believe you! I believe you!" Neji sighed. "But before you destroy the world, can you please step off the arena first? Other people still have matches to fight!"
"You damn bastard! I'll eat you up…" Momoshiki roared furiously.
At that moment, Kinshiki suddenly rushed over and tackled Momoshiki to the ground. "Lord Momoshiki, please calm down!"
This time, Momoshiki truly wanted to lose his temper. "Damn it! Get off me now!"
"Yes, yes!" Kinshiki quickly stood up, pulling Momoshiki off the arena stage along the way.
"Give me a proper explanation—now—or I'll devour you on the spot!" Momoshiki glared at Kinshiki viciously.
Kinshiki hurried to explain, "Just when you were displaying your divine might earlier, I overheard those inferior creatures mention someone—the Otsutsuki Urashiki!"
"Otsutsuki Urashiki?" Momoshiki barely calmed his rage. "Why would he come here? Could it be he wants to complete the God Tree Festival before I do?"
"I'm not sure either, but…" Kinshiki continued, "After hearing that, I became greatly concerned. I gently stole their memories and discovered that Urashiki was defeated by that man just now!"
"Defeated Otsutsuki Urashiki!" Momoshiki showed slight surprise but still didn't take it seriously. "But I'm not just some average intermediate warrior!"
"Of course! A noble as yourself is naturally incomparable to Urashiki!" Kinshiki nodded repeatedly, then changed tone. "However, that man defeated transformed Urashiki in a single strike!"
"What? He defeated transformed Urashiki in one hit?" Momoshiki widened his eyes. Even he himself would find it difficult to accomplish that, wouldn't it?
Kinshiki nodded, his heart pounding with unease. "You'll understand once you see it. I'll transmit the stolen memory to you!"
In the next instant, Seiki's earth-shattering strike appeared in Momoshiki's mind, giving him a vivid sense of being there. He instinctively twitched his right leg.
Coming back to his senses, Momoshiki felt deeply ashamed. He had actually been frightened by a human!
To mask his embarrassment, Momoshiki pretended to shake his leg and spat out, "Again with the Taijutsu!"
He particularly disliked those who trained in Taijutsu. Aside from the fact that their physical techniques could actually harm them, those who trained in Taijutsu were like weeds in a field, stealing nutrients meant for the rice seedlings!
Kinshiki persuaded, "Lord Momoshiki, the outside world is too dangerous. Shouldn't we return to our homeworld?"
Momoshiki refused without hesitation, "Are you kidding? If we retreat to our homeworld out of fear from a bunch of natives, how could I ever hold my head high in the clan again?"
Kinshiki urged anxiously, "But the enemy's strength is far too overwhelming, and they already know about us. Once the tournament ends, that man might come after us!"
"Hmph, I admit his current strength is slightly superior to mine, but for me, surpassing him will be effortless!" Momoshiki arrogantly declared.
Kinshiki asked, "You mean... the Chakra Pill?"
Momoshiki nodded. "That bastard's bloodline is still fairly pure. If I refine him into a Chakra Pill and consume it, I'll be able to defeat that human!"
Kinshiki still looked worried. "But he won't be easy to defeat, right? And those humans probably won't just sit by and watch him get refined by you!"
Momoshiki chuckled. "That's where this tournament they organized comes in handy! I'll defeat him on the Arena Stage, and the moment the match ends, I'll devour him!"
As they discussed Toneri, the distant Toneri himself was watching the two with a bewildered expression.
"According to the records left by my ancestor Hamura, the Otsutsuki clan's main branch were the most conceited and arrogant bunch, completely impossible to reason with. Yet why have these two simply caved in? Could it be they're also wandering bloodline like me, exiled from the clan?"
Xianglin sighed with disappointment, "I was hoping they'd actually fight!"
"If they won't fight, then it's up to us to fight!" Toneri said with an icy glare, clenching his fists. "This bastard actually dared to steal our spotlight. Unforgivable!"
Xianglin scanned the surroundings and activated her Mind's Eye of the Kagura. Sure enough, she discovered that the two Otsutsuki were drawing the most covert attention, followed at a distance by herself and Toneri.
Ever since that alien invader wreaked havoc during the Jonin Exam three years ago, the existence of the Otsutsuki had no longer been a secret.
And now that the three of them were confirmed to be Otsutsuki, they naturally received the most attention!
"Lord wanted us to make a name for ourselves. Any who dare to stand in our way of gaining fame must be eliminated!" Xianglin shouted, waving her little fists.
"Exactly. Eliminate them all!" Toneri nodded fiercely.
...
As time passed, the first round of matches concluded entirely.
This round saw many dark horses emerge, such as the Xu Organization (also known as Void Organization), who advanced as a team, and the Horned Duo!
It was precisely the emergence of these individuals that caused many fan-favorite competitors to be eliminated early, such as the Hyuga clan, who were crushed in the first round!
Hiashi stood at the edge of the arena, expressionless. There were over a thousand contestants in total. Under normal circumstances, even a moderately skilled jonin could make it to the second round, yet every single member of the Hyuga Clan had been eliminated in the first round!
What kind of luck is this?
Fugaku stood beside him and gave his shoulder a pat. "It's better this way. To be honest, I'm actually a bit worried—if the final match ends up being all Uchiha, won't that draw suspicion from the higher-ups?"
Hiashi thought with a silent scoff. As if the Hokage, with his magnanimity, would actually feel threatened by your Uchiha Clan? Just say you want to show off!
Just then, a voice came through the loudspeaker.
"The second round is about to begin! Arena Stage 1: Itachi Uchiha versus Sasuke Uchiha!"
Fugaku's smile froze on his face.
Hiashi, however, smirked and clapped his hands mockingly. "What a great matchup! One of them is definitely going down. Now you can stop worrying so much!"
