"It's not that. I've recently had a vague feeling that someone from the Otsutsuki Main Clan is coming!"
"Let them come! We won't be afraid of them even if they do!"
Over the past year, the power in the Naruto world had grown stronger.
There were now dozens of Kage-level masters.
Naruto, Sasuke, Gaara, Lee, Karui, Chojuro... all the Genin characters from the original story had achieved Sage Transformation.
Ye Liang had once again distributed forbidden techniques across the board.
With Sage Transformation energy as a foundation, techniques such as [Shadow Clone] and [Rasengan], which once drained massive amounts of chakra, could now be used without restraint.
Naruto had even developed techniques like [Big Ball Rasengan] and [Supreme Ultimate Rasengan].
Needless to say! Rasengan had become a standard skill in the Naruto world.
Everyone knew how to use it. Not knowing it would be weird!
"Just let them come. We'll show them the power of Otogakure."
Ye Liang also looked up at the sky.
He abruptly changed the topic.
"By the way, Kaguya! There's a question I've wanted to ask you for a while."
"What is it?"
"That... tell me, what exactly happened with the Sage of Six Paths! Did you do something behind my back..."
"Eh..."
At noon, Ye Liang held the Eight Gates manual and handed it to Kakashi, who came to retrieve it: "Make copies and distribute them. Now that our ninjutsu skills have improved, we must not fall behind in taijutsu!
Otogakure will strive for all-around excellence in character, intellect, physical strength, artistry, and diligence!"
"Okay."
Kakashi nodded.
He was Ye Liang's designated copy ninja, and copying documents was a piece of cake for him.
After finishing everything, Ye Liang leaned back in his seat, satisfied.
He had already clarified everything with Kaguya Hime.
Just like Black Zetsu!
Both the Sage of Six Paths and Hamura were fallback plans created by Kaguya before her sealing!
Created through asexual reproduction...
Purely through sheer willpower.
Ye Liang guessed this must be how time automatically corrects itself back to the original worldline after being altered.
...
At the same time, far away.
The sky suddenly split open with a crack.
Several silver-haired young men dressed in white descended. As soon as they arrived in this world, they began looking around curiously.
Leading them was someone carrying a fishing rod. This man was Otsutsuki Momoshiki, the leader of this mission to Earth, followed by Momo otsutsuki and Kinshiki otsutsuki.
They were also very powerful, both from the branch family.
Otsutsuki Momoshiki slowly opened his eyes, filled with anger: "Damn it! That woman Kaguya has been unsealed! Who helped her!"
Beside him, Kinshiki smiled: "Who else could it be? Definitely her herself. These apes on this remote planet definitely couldn't have done such a thing."
Otsutsuki Momoshiki sneered.
"Then let's hurry up and find her. The sooner we complete this mission, the better."
"Yes!"
After saying that, the several of them scattered in different directions.
In Konoha.
Hashirama Senju had just finished packing his moving luggage and was preparing to leave.
Suddenly!
He and his younger brother Tobirama simultaneously sensed a vast, oppressive aura. It seemed a Tailed Beast-level presence was heading toward Konoha!
"What's going on?"
Hashirama put down his luggage.
He had important matters to attend to today.
All the villagers from Hidden Leaf Village had moved to Otogakure. Ye Liang had seized the Hot Spring Country, and afterwards began discussing with the various Hidden Villages about merging them all together.
The Hot Spring Country was now completely under the control of the ninja.
Hashirama was a bit upset.
He had originally planned to finish moving early so he could go enjoy some of the delicacies from Sunagakure Village. Recently, he'd become especially interested in the spicy lamb rib skewers from the Sand Village.
"Tobirama, let's go take a look outside?"
"Sure."
The two stepped out of the house.
Also stepping out were Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Protecting the villagers during their move was a top priority, so the Hokages were among the last to relocate.
The Four Hokages stood united!
Meanwhile, high above and flying rapidly forward, Momoshiki Otsutsuki was completely unaware.
He was flying with his eyes closed, sensing the chakra around him.
"There seems to be a powerful force ahead at the village. Could it be that traitor Kaguya?" He flew forward with a bewildered expression, only to suddenly collide head-on with the four Hokages waiting at the village entrance.
"Brother up ahead, stop right there! This is Leaf Village territory; flight is prohibited," Minato stopped him midair using the Flying Thunder God technique.
"Where did this monkey come from?!"
Momoshiki's anger flared, his eyes widened, and immediately the [Shinra Tensei] from his [Rinnegan] shot forward.
Unfortunately, it had no effect!
Minato was momentarily stunned, then his face twitched slightly in disbelief.
The [Shinra Tensei] passed through Minato like he wasn't there!
"How is that possible?!" Momoshiki was shocked.
He hadn't even seen Minato move — yet his [Shinra Tensei] had passed through Minato like he wasn't there.
"What? You can use this technique too?" Minato scratched his head. "I don't know why, but the first time I saw Master Ye Liang use this technique, I couldn't stop thinking about it!
My brain kept obsessively trying to figure out how to counter it!
I became deeply obsessed.
I must've been cursed by it in my past life!"
Momoshiki stared at Minato's serious explanation, then coldly smirked, "Just your luck!" He raised his hand once more, unleashing an endless suction force straight toward Minato.
[Universal Pull]!
Another technique of the [Rinnegan].
Momoshiki was very familiar with the Six Paths' techniques.
"I feel like I've seen this move too..." Minato flickered away in an instant, reappearing behind Momoshiki the next second. "Recently, a book called *Six Techniques to Counter the Otsutsuki Clan* came out in Otogakure. I actually read it."
"Bang!"
Momoshiki's body was instantly sent flying, with a perfectly round and tightly compressed Rasengan still stuck to his back.
"It seems… you truly are one of the Otsutsuki."
Minato said calmly.
The three Hokages below immediately understood the strategy.
They immediately formed a triangular formation, surrounding Momoshiki from all sides.
"Dammit! How do you know so much about our clan?! Did that traitor Kaguya teach you?!" Momoshiki stared at the four surrounding him in disbelief.
Two major techniques from the [Rinnegan] had both failed. Considering the current situation, even using something like Planetary Devastation probably wouldn't be effective either.
He was beginning to feel fear creeping in.
Momoshiki raised his hand and launched a chakra sphere into the sky! This was the Otsutsuki Clan's method of sending an emergency signal—whenever another clan member saw the chakra sphere, they had to rush over immediately for support!
"Tobirama?"
"Do you see what this person is doing?"
"It looks like he's asking for help, brother."
"Isn't the Otsutsuki Clan supposed to be so powerful? Why is he begging for help?"
"I don't know. Maybe this person is just the weakest member of their clan."
Hashirama and Tobirama whispered amongst themselves.
Momoshiki's face immediately turned red!
His clansmen had always lived in luxury and comfort, their inner arrogance carved into their bones. How could he possibly tolerate such words from the Senju brothers?
Momoshiki immediately rushed toward the two of them!
Hashirama smirked faintly.
Hashirama had done this on purpose to provoke him.
Long before encountering the Otsutsuki Clan, Ye Liang had repeatedly warned him—never show mercy when facing Otsutsuki warriors! He must find a way to eliminate them!
When Hashirama saw him sending a message earlier, he worried this guy might use some secret technique to prolong the fight. So he decided to provoke him into attacking directly, which would significantly reduce this guy's chances of survival!
Hashirama and Tobirama were seasoned veterans at this game!
