While Urashiki Ōtsutsuki was still thinking, the Wood Golem had already begun to move, striding forward and closing in on him at terrifying speed.
Its massive palm came crashing down. Wrapped in Armament Haki and controlled by Namikaze Kirito, the Wood Golem was now fully wielding power from another world.
Boom!
"Wha—?!"
Urashiki looked up at the descending hand that blotted out the sky and immediately tried to block it with his crimson barrier. But the instant they collided, his expression changed.
That hand carried an overwhelming force.
The pressure alone crushed the surrounding ground and tore through the nearby trees.
Urashiki's legs sank deep into the earth as the impact pinned him in place.
"A shockwave?!"
At that moment, the Wood Golem resembled the kind of shockwave attack Fleet Admiral Sengoku could unleash in the world of pirates. But this was not the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
This was the power of Armament Haki taken to the extreme.
Just as Silvers Rayleigh could repel powerful beasts with Haki alone, supreme Haki could produce this kind of terrifying force.
The monstrous pressure forced Urashiki to grit his teeth as he struggled to hold it back. He had no time to use any other technique now. All he could do was focus everything he had on resisting the crushing impact.
Seeing the stalemate, the Wood Golem clenched its other hand into a fist and smashed it down as well.
At that moment, the golden Rinnegan locked onto Urashiki.
"Shinra Tensei!"
The power of this golden Rinnegan's Shinra Tensei was countless times greater than what Nagato had once displayed. It had long since surpassed even the scale of a Super Shinra Tensei.
The Wood Golem's full-powered punch slammed straight into the repulsive force, releasing a deafening roar.
Not long after, the Wood Golem's fist was violently blasted away by the overwhelming repulsion.
Urashiki glared at Namikaze Kirito standing atop the Wood Golem, fury burning in his golden eyes.
"You lowly creature… you've managed to truly annoy me."
He flicked his palms outward, and purple energy began gathering madly around them.
"Tiansuna Purple Light Dragon — Dragon Palace!"
The purple energy in Urashiki's hands gradually condensed into a square-shaped mass, and then, from his palms, a gigantic black-and-purple oarfish emerged. Its body continued to expand until it grew even larger than the Wood Golem itself.
Then, from the mouth of the giant oarfish, a purple-red sphere of chakra formed and fired outward—like a Tailed Beast Bomb, yet far more terrifying.
One only had to feel the pressure radiating from it to know that this was on an entirely different level.
By this point, young Sasuke had already retreated from the battlefield with Uzumaki Boruto.
Namikaze Kirito stared at Urashiki's technique, a trace of seriousness finally appearing in his eyes.
This was true Six Paths-level power.
He could not afford to take it lightly. Even with his physique, a direct hit could still injure him.
Without hesitating any further, he fully activated the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
The Wood Golem's fists became wrapped in a white, transparent aura, and cracks began to spread through the surrounding space.
"Tremor Release: Great Tremor!"
The Wood Golem slammed its fists together, and a dazzling white light erupted from its chest.
At that exact moment, the giant oarfish's purple chakra sphere shot forward, and the white light from the Wood Golem's chest blasted out to meet it head-on.
Boom!!!
A violent collision shook heaven and earth as white and purple light completely swallowed the battlefield.
The earth trembled madly. The distant sea rose in towering waves. Mountains, boulders, and forests were reduced to ash.
Even the clouds in the sky were torn apart.
This no longer felt like the power of mortals.
It was as if the world itself was being shaken by a catastrophe capable of ending everything.
It took a long time before the sky and earth returned to normal.
The area within a hundred miles of their clash had been stripped bare. The forests outside Konoha had completely vanished.
Even Konoha's walls had been shattered.
This battle naturally drew many of Konoha's experts to the scene.
When they saw the aftermath, every one of them inhaled sharply.
Terumi Mei was the first to arrive and had witnessed the terrifying collision of power with her own eyes. In front of that force, she felt no different from a dead leaf in a storm. If she had been caught in it directly, there would have been only one outcome.
Total annihilation.
Even though she had managed to evade in time, the shockwave alone had still injured her badly.
That only strengthened her resolve even further.
Namikaze Kirito's power was absolutely not something Kumogakure or Iwagakure could resist—let alone her own Kirigakure.
If they could not defeat him, then the best option was to join him.
Only that would guarantee the Mist Village's survival.
Namikaze Minato also arrived with the Sannin.
"Who is that guy fighting Kirito?"
"I don't know. I've never seen him before… but there's something deeply unsettling about him."
"That's… the Rinnegan? A golden Rinnegan? It's completely different from Nagato's. Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm being crushed."
"Kid, be careful!"
"As expected of the leader… has he already begun fighting enemies like this? It seems the ninja world still holds many secrets."
At that moment, Namikaze Kirito and Urashiki Ōtsutsuki stared at each other from across the ruined battlefield.
The Wood Golem had already disappeared.
Only the two of them remained standing.
Kirito's black windbreaker had been destroyed, and several wounds could be seen on his body. But compared to him, Urashiki looked far worse. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and his body was visibly battered.
His face was filled with disbelief.
"Impossible! This... can't be! How can a native of this wretched world possess this kind of power?!"
"This strength… it has already reached the level of our clan?"
Faced with those words, Kirito's expression remained calm. His face still carried the same cold indifference as ever.
"The Ōtsutsuki clan is nothing but a swarm of parasites. Sooner or later, I'll find your planet… and slaughter every last one of you."
The moment he heard that, Urashiki's expression twisted even further with rage.
The pride of the Ōtsutsuki clan was absolute.
Compared to them, even the arrogance of the Uchiha clan was hardly worth mentioning. In the eyes of the Ōtsutsuki, entire planets were nothing more than fields used to grow Divine Trees.
If this world had not been stolen by that woman, Kaguya, it would never even have been worth sending anyone here in the first place.
And yet now, not only had he failed to reclaim the Divine Tree—
he had actually been injured by a mere human?
It was unimaginable.
"You insolent lower creature! Don't think a tiny advantage gives you the right to be this presumptuous!"
Then Urashiki's gaze shifted into the distance, toward the growing number of Konoha shinobi gathering nearby.
Suddenly, something seemed to catch his eye, and his golden eyes lit up.
Kirito immediately noticed the change and followed his line of sight.
If there was anything in Konoha that would attract Urashiki, then there was only one possibility.
The jinchūriki.
Both Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto were in Konoha now, and both had come here.
"…Damn!"
Urashiki's figure suddenly vanished.
It was space-time ninjutsu.
Kirito instantly sensed his target and realized what he intended to do. Without wasting even a second, he used the Body Flicker Technique and shot after him at full speed.
