Facing Momoshiki's rage, Naruto remained extremely calm.
Although he often acted carefree, his battle IQ had even earned praise from his teachers!
He knew his greatest advantage was his chakra—but against the Otsutsuki, who feed on chakra, this advantage was no longer enough.
Therefore, he must take advantage of the opponent's arrogance and short temper!
Now, he had already succeeded halfway!
Naruto said, analyzing the situation, "That area has significantly weaker defense compared to his face. Could it be he's worried it might be too hard to excrete waste?"
Momoshiki was provoked again. "Gods... gods don't need to excrete!"
Naruto looked disgusted. "You digest your own shit in your gut? That's disgusting!"
"Ahh! I-I..." Momoshiki nearly went insane. Ignoring the blood flowing from his wounded butt, he thrust out his hands and unleashed a series of energy spheres from the Rinnegan in his palms!
Naruto was just about to dodge when he sensed space-time flow once again freeze.
Then he was bombarded by those energy spheres, instantly reduced to ashes!
"That's not right—it's just another clone!" Momoshiki glared wide-eyed. The space-time stasis lasted one second before normal movement resumed.
Naruto burst from underground again, charging at Momoshiki.
This time Momoshiki was finally prepared and didn't let him land the hit.
However, as he clearly saw the trajectory of Naruto's attack, Momoshiki exploded in rage—damn it, that bastard aimed straight for his tender butt again!
Does this guy only know how to attack the face and lower regions? How dirty and despicable!
Plus, this guy had predicted his abilities twice in a row!
"You saw through the pattern of my time freezing?"
"[One second time-stop, five seconds between uses.] I'm right, aren't I? The first part was told by Neji, and the second part I just figured out myself!"
"Hmph! Knowing that still won't help you!"
"Knowing it naturally means I can defeat you!"
Despite his bravado, Naruto felt uneasy—Momoshiki's previously hunched body had clearly straightened. Not much longer, and the injuries he'd inflicted on Momoshiki would only leave psychological trauma!
In desperation, he no longer cared about conserving Sage Chakra.
[Sage Art: Many Ultra-Big Ball Spiraling Serial Spheres!]
Over a hundred Shadow Clones simultaneously raised chakra spheres the size of small hills, leaping toward Momoshiki.
Such a level of power was not something even Momoshiki could afford to underestimate.
However, the pride of the Otsutsuki forbade him from bowing to such a despicable and vulgar opponent!
Thus, he chose to counterattack head-on!
From the Rinnegan in his palms, Momoshiki emitted over a dozen purple-black bubbles. These bubbles rapidly expanded, soon growing into chakra spheres over a hundred meters in diameter!
The two waves of chakra spheres erupted into each other—light bent, space shattered. Terrifying energy storms raged back and forth across the arena, filling every corner with endless light and heat!
Witnessing this scene, everyone was filled with alarm.
The arena had already been vast originally, yet now it appeared eight times larger than before. Even so, there was still an oppressive sense of confinement, as if the space itself wasn't enough to contain their power!
"Too powerful—it's like a battle straight out of legend!"
"Assuming the combat strength of a normal Jonin is five, Seiki and Naruto's strength combined is at least ten thousand!"
Kinshiki couldn't shake a growing sense of dread. "Even the intense battle between Momoshiki and that brat couldn't break through the Chakra Barrier! That Seiki Shimaseki must truly be as strong as a monster. Could he also be from a warrior race of the cosmos?"
After the shockwaves faded, the arena had sunken hundreds of meters into the ground, resembling a massive basin.
Momoshiki, his clothes shredded to pieces, stood at the center of the basin, scanning fiercely for Naruto's whereabouts.
Suddenly, Naruto burst out of the wreckage, Spiral Sphere in hand, charging forward with a fierce battle cry.
Momoshiki dodged the attack, delivering a kick straight into Naruto's abdomen.
With a loud "Bang!", Naruto exploded into a puff of smoke!
"I knew you'd try that move!" Momoshiki sneered, and once again, the space-time around him froze solid.
"This time, I'll destroy everything, including the land itself!" Momoshiki laughed maniacally, forming an enormous Energy Sphere in his left hand like a miniature sun, and then hurling it toward the ground.
Although he couldn't pinpoint exactly where the brat was hiding underground, he could simply flip the table!
Boom!!!
A second catastrophic disaster swept across the land!
To ensure that even if the little brat was hiding over a thousand meters underground, he wouldn't escape, he poured every ounce of power into this attack!
The compressed chakra exploded with the force of creation itself, an endless torrent of energy devouring everything around it. The thick earth rapidly melted under the onslaught of the sphere, like snow vanishing in a boiling storm.
Soon, the turmoil calmed.
Momoshiki floated midair, looking down into a bottomless abyss below, where even solid ground no longer existed.
He let out a heavy breath; even he felt slightly fatigued after repeatedly using Time Freezing and his powerful techniques. But deep down, he was ecstatic, "Haha, finally eliminated that fox—"
Momoshiki laughed but suddenly paused.
Why was there still a wisp of smoke lingering before him?
Suddenly, a chilling thought struck him, "Wait a second, could that have been the real body I hit, not a clone?"
As he froze in place, the wisp of smoke morphed into Naruto, who, with all his remaining strength, delivered a punch infused with Sage Fox Power's Monstrous Strength straight onto Momoshiki's head, forcing his head straight into his body like a little turtle whose head had just been smashed in!
After landing the punch, Naruto's face turned pale as he gasped for breath, his suspended body slowly plummeting into the abyss.
He had used his real body to endure Momoshiki's powerful kick, endured the injuries from the shockwaves while staying at the battlefield, and his body was already nearing its limit!
Upon seeing this, everyone who had just recovered from the shock of Momoshiki's destruction of the arena was both alarmed and elated.
"Great! We've won!"
"Is Naruto okay? Hurry and open the barrier to save him!"
However, at that moment, the "little turtle" floating midair suddenly moved, placing both hands on the horn-like protrusion, pulling his head out like pulling up a radish.
Witnessing this, everyone's heart dropped halfway.
"Can he actually survive this?!"
"What kind of monster is this guy?!"
Momoshiki's cold gaze fell onto Naruto. His fingertip flicked, instantly unleashing dozens of beams piercing through Naruto's body!
As he was about to strike again, Seiki called the match.
The barrier opened, and Naruto, bleeding profusely, was yanked into the sky by an invisible force.
Momoshiki was clearly pissed off by Seiki's obvious bias. "He hasn't even surrendered yet..."
But Seiki simply snapped his fingers.
In the next instant, Naruto and the destroyed battlefield were restored to their original state!
Seeing this, Momoshiki could only leave in frustration. "Alright, you win this round!"
Although they saw Momoshiki come out on the losing end, the crowd didn't feel particularly happy.
After all, the Alliance had lost this battle!
Of course, no one intended to blame Naruto. Everyone could clearly see that Naruto had already given his all. In fact, if it weren't for the huge power gap between them, Naruto would've already won!
Moved by this, everyone turned their hopeful eyes to Sasuke!
Sasuke, it's all on you now!
