Kinshiki Otsutsuki's smile was grotesque. He seemed already able to see the image of these natives who had dared to offend him reduced to ashes in flames.
Kikunojo and the others wore expressions of despair on their faces.
They had already felt the scorching heat, but unfortunately, the Great Fireball Jutsu's range was too vast for them to escape.
Damn it!
Who exactly were these two individuals who suddenly appeared?
Just as everyone fell into despair, a deep purple arrow instantly flew from an extremely distant location.
The next second, the hundreds-of-meters-wide fireball was directly shattered midair by that arrow.
Tiny sparks scattered onto their faces, but Kikunojo and others didn't react at all.
Their faces were filled with expressions of having survived disaster.
We're saved!
Kinshiki Otsutsuki slightly furrowed his brows and turned his gaze toward the direction the arrow came from.
A colossal chakra avatar several hundred meters tall was flying toward them, its massive wings widely spread.
"Lord Momoshiki, watch out."
Momo Otsutsuki stood in front of Kinshiki Otsutsuki, wearing a solemn expression.
But Momo Otsutsuki frowned in displeasure and snapped, "Do you think I fear these inferior races? Step aside!"
Kinshiki could only retreat behind Momo Otsutsuki, yet his entire body remained tense, ready for any potential battle at any moment.
Soon, that colossal demonic god statue flew right before the two figures.
"Their pupils... are white," Sasuke Uchiha murmured softly, then frowned. "You belong to the Otsutsuki Clan."
Upon hearing this, both Momo Otsutsuki and Kinshiki showed surprise.
"You know about the Otsutsuki Clan?"
But Sasuke didn't bother responding. Instead, intense fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.
"Hahahahaha... Finally, I've found you!"
After saying that, he shouted down toward Kikunojo and others below, "You lot retreat first. Leave this to me."
"And me too!"
Naruto Uzumaki appeared in an instant. "Sasuke, did I arrive late?"
Sasuke gave a sharp snort. "How come no matter what, I just can't shake you off?"
Naruto retorted unhappily, "What do you mean by that?"
Sasuke replied indifferently, "Asking questions when you already know the answers, idiot."
"Hey, say that again!"
"Idiot!"
"Tch! But since we have strong enemies before us, I'll deal with you later."
Momo Otsutsuki and Kinshiki twitched their mouths.
Do you even realize there's a powerful enemy right here?
Feeling insulted, Momo Otsutsuki took some Chakra-infused pills from within his robe, swallowed them, then raised his arm high and immediately began forming a massive black sphere of energy.
[Go!]
Momo Otsutsuki swung his arm wildly, continuously launching one Ninjutsu technique after another toward Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
...
Intense explosions kept sounding off, violently shaking the earth.
Sasuke Uchiha's eyes burned with surging ocular power as he guided his Susanoo straight toward Momo Otsutsuki.
Seeing this, Kinshiki Otsutsuki immediately gripped his weapon with both hands, preparing to step in front of Momo Otsutsuki.
"Your opponent is me!"
Naruto Uzumaki's pupils took on a reddish hue, and his irises transformed into horizontal slits. In an instant, he appeared right before Momo Otsutsuki.
Bang!
Fists collided. Naruto and Kinshiki's bodies flew backward simultaneously.
In midair, Naruto vanished again.
"Fast speed... Strong taijutsu too..."
"This planet definitely holds some mystery."
Kinshiki Otsutsuki frowned even more deeply.
"Now's not the time for distractions."
Naruto launched close combat against Kinshiki once more.
Kinshiki coldly snorted.
As a member of the Otsutsuki Clan, he had his own pride.
It's a clash of titans—he wanted to see exactly what this opponent was capable of!
Both moved at incredible speeds; ordinary people couldn't even catch sight of their movements.
After fighting for some time, Naruto threw a punch directly at Kinshiki's face.
Kinshiki slightly tilted his head, dodging Naruto's attack.
Looking at Naruto wide open from the missed strike, Kinshiki's lips curled into a slight sneer.
This battle—he had ultimately won.
But just as he prepared to counterattack, a tremendous force suddenly slammed onto his face.
It felt just like being smashed by a heavy hammer. Kinshiki instantly flew backward.
Boom!
He crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a massive crater.
"Cough, cough..."
Wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, Kinshiki wore a shocked and uncertain expression.
What just happened?
He'd clearly dodged that attack!
Meanwhile, Naruto wore a disappointed look.
"Tch, thought I could finish it with one blow. You sure can take a hit."
Just now, while in [Sage Mode], he'd used [Frog Kata] combined with [Superhuman Strength], unleashing full force directly onto Kinshiki's face.
Originally expecting to snap the enemy's neck right through, yet unexpectedly, the opponent still looked lively afterward.
But no worries—it should have still done some damage.
Seeing Kinshiki Otsutsuki charge toward him once again, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly vanished into thin air.
Another Space–Time Ninjutsu?
Sensing Naruto's aura completely disappear, Kinshiki shifted his gaze back to Momoshiki Otsutsuki and Sasuke Uchiha, who were locked in combat in midair.
Empowered by Chakra Pills, Momoshiki launched relentless attacks.
However, the Susanoo's defense proved extremely powerful, repelling every strike.
Damn it! You pathetic insects, just die already!
Momoshiki grew increasingly frustrated.
He never expected to waste so many Chakra Pills fighting a mere native.
Soon, he would surely drain this pest dry!
Noticing Momoshiki's rage, Kinshiki promptly moved to assist him against Sasuke.
Unfortunately, as soon as he acted, Naruto appeared out of nowhere beside him.
[Rasengan!]
Boom!
Kinshiki flew backward once more. As he tried to retaliate, Naruto vanished again.
These damned pests!
Kinshiki himself started growing furious.
From their recent battle, he had already sensed Naruto's strength.
Although formidable, Naruto still wasn't his match.
In direct combat, he would undoubtedly emerge victorious.
Yet his opponent had mastered a certain Space–Time Ninjutsu, constantly appearing out of nowhere to strike whenever he let his guard down, then vanishing immediately afterward...
This meant he must remain vigilant at all times, always prepared for sudden attacks—even if his opponent could be fast asleep in bed.
Frustrating! Absolutely maddening!
How could someone fight so shamelessly underhanded like this?
