"Universal Pull—!"
"Almighty Push—!"
"Hair Needle Technique—!"
The clash between Sasuke Uchiha and Momoshiki Otsutsuki looked like two giants colliding.
No flashy ninjutsu.
Just pure taijutsu.
Every step shook the earth.
The ground cracked and overturned under their feet.
Sasuke fought with everything he had—
And in that moment, he finally understood something deeper.
Naruto had been right all along.
At the highest level—
Ninjutsu becomes secondary.
Real power comes from your own body.
Your instincts.
Your control.
Even the Mangekyō Sharingan…
Even Susanoo…
They looked powerful—
But here?
They were too slow.
Too clumsy.
That's why neither Madara Uchiha nor Hashirama Senju had used their ultimate techniques earlier.
Against Otsutsuki—
Big flashy moves were meaningless.
This was a battle of gods.
Across the Ninja World
Everyone watching fell silent.
"This… this isn't normal anymore…"
"Kage-level fighters… are just fodder here…"
For many ninjas—
Their entire life's training suddenly felt meaningless.
All their effort.
All their progress.
And yet—
Here?
They were nothing.
It broke them.
Momoshiki Gets Serious
Floating in the air, Momoshiki breathed slightly.
"You're strong," he admitted.
For the first time—
There was respect in his voice.
But then—
His eyes darkened.
"You've forced me this far…"
Black markings spread across his face.
His aura exploded.
The Otsutsuki transformation.
His power surged again.
He glanced at Kinshiki Otsutsuki—
But didn't consume him.
Not yet.
"Round Two Begins"
He vanished.
Sasuke followed instantly.
The speed—
Even faster now.
Every exchange could decide life or death.
Sasuke grinned.
"That's it… I haven't felt this in a long time."
Excitement.
Danger.
Pure battle instinct.
The Shift
Sasuke swung his blade—
Fourteen strikes in a single instant.
All blocked.
"Universal Pull—!"
Gravity twisted.
Sasuke struggled to evade—
Barely staying ahead.
Then—
"Almighty Push!"
BOOM!
The shockwave blasted outward.
Sasuke blocked it—
But—
A black vortex opened behind him.
A black rod shot out—
Silent.
Deadly.
A perfect sneak attack.
Even Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were shocked.
"Watch out!"
But—
Sasuke didn't react.
Because—
Someone else did.
Reinforcements Arrive
A blade appeared—
Blocking the black rod instantly.
"Don't interfere in someone else's fight."
A calm voice echoed.
It was Shisui Uchiha.
Behind him—
Another figure stepped out of a dark vortex.
Cold.
Inhuman.
Godlike.
Isshiki Otsutsuki.
Shock Across the Battlefield
"Who is that?!"
"Another Otsutsuki?!"
Even Momoshiki froze.
"Isshiki…? You're alive?"
He couldn't believe it.
Isshiki spoke calmly.
"Run."
"This world isn't what you think it is."
Then—
He moved.
In an instant—
He reached Kinshiki.
"Release."
The seals shattered.
Kinshiki was freed.
Even Madara narrowed his eyes.
"That… was effortless."
The Trap Revealed
Momoshiki's expression twisted.
"Run? Ridiculous."
"The Otsutsuki never flee."
Isshiki shook his head.
"You don't understand."
"It's too late."
Suddenly—
A massive red barrier rose around the battlefield.
The Four Red Yang Formation.
Everyone was trapped.
Shisui laughed.
"Finally caught you all."
Sasuke smirked.
Urashiki Otsutsuki stepped out, grinning.
"Told you… none of you could escape."
Momoshiki's Breakdown
"This is impossible!"
"We are the Otsutsuki!"
"We are invincible!"
But—
No one responded.
Because deep down—
They all knew.
This wasn't their battlefield anymore.
Isshiki's Truth
"I warned you," Isshiki said calmly.
"I've already seen it."
"That man…"
"…is a monster."
His clone began fading.
He had already chosen to run.
But Momoshiki?
He had walked straight into the trap.
The Net Tightens
The barrier sealed everything.
No escape.
No retreat.
A perfect setup.
A perfect capture.
And at the center of it all—
Naruto's plan had finally closed.
