Urashiki's sudden attack completely exposed his position.
"Hahaha! I'll take your chakra!"
As he spoke, Urashiki Ōtsutsuki directly swallowed the chakra he had just ripped out of Ōtsutsuki Watanabe in a single gulp. His face was filled with undisguised enjoyment, as if he were savoring a delicacy.
The moment Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto saw this, his pupils shrank sharply. Without hesitation, he activated his strongest combat state and stepped directly in front of Watanabe, blocking him.
"Ono! Kashiwazaki! Prepare for battle!" Yamamoto shouted coldly.
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
Ōtsutsuki Ono and Ōtsutsuki Kashiwazaki no longer hesitated. Each of them took out a chakra pill, swallowed it in one motion, and instantly activated their strongest forms. Horns extended, chakra surged violently, and their auras rose sharply.
The three of them quickly formed a triangular formation, surrounding Watanabe and Ōtsutsuki Inoshiki at the center, clearly adopting a defensive stance.
Ōtsutsuki Inoshiki stared at Urashiki with eyes full of killing intent. At this moment, he wished nothing more than to tear Urashiki apart with his own hands.
"Urashiki, you traitor!!!"
Urashiki heard the roar and casually scratched his ear, his expression filled with impatience.
"Hey, can you change your line already? I've heard that sentence so many times my ears are about to grow calluses."
Ōtsutsuki Inoshiki pointed at Urashiki, his voice trembling with rage.
"Today, I will kill you in the name of the Lord of the Ōtsutsuki!"
As soon as the words fell, Inoshiki shot into the sky, attacking Urashiki head-on without any hesitation.
"Yamamoto, protect Watanabe and help him recover!" Inoshiki shouted mid-flight.
Yamamoto wanted to stop him and warn him not to act rashly, but Inoshiki had already rushed out. There was no time. Yamamoto could only grit his teeth and follow the order, turning back to focus on Watanabe.
In the air, Inoshiki fully activated his power. The Rinnegan in his eye opened wide as he raised his hand and used short-range space-time teleportation, instantly closing the distance.
"Come here!!!"
With a furious roar, the Rinnegan in Inoshiki's left eye expanded dramatically. A terrifying suction force erupted, directly enveloping Urashiki. Inoshiki gritted his teeth, violently pulling his arm back—
Urashiki was dragged toward him at high speed!
"Hmph! Today, you die!"
Facing the Urashiki pulled right in front of him, Inoshiki clasped his hands together. With a thunderous explosion, a gigantic chakra fist manifested behind him, its size dwarfing mountains, and smashed straight down toward Urashiki.
Urashiki snorted coldly.
"Do you really think I'm the same as before?"
He showed no panic at all. The Rinnegan in his eye instantly turned blue.
Boom!
The enormous chakra fist smashed down—but Urashiki's body suddenly shattered, transforming into thousands of paper cranes that scattered in all directions before disappearing completely.
Inoshiki's expression darkened. His Rinnegan shifted to a deep purple as he scanned the surrounding space intensely.
"Hide? You think you can hide from me?"
He spread his hands and unleashed another powerful suction toward a specific point in space.
Urashiki reappeared, his form rapidly changing as he completed his transformation mid-air.
"Tensuba Ryūsei Myō—Ryūgū!"
Urashiki shouted coldly as he launched his counterattack.
From his palm, a four-pointed, star-shaped mass of purple chakra erupted, instantly transforming into a massive black-and-purple oarfish. The giant oarfish let out a deafening roar, opened its enormous mouth, and released a terrifying purple-red chakra sphere.
The chakra sphere was several times more powerful than a Tailed Beast Ball, and it roared straight toward Inoshiki, tearing through space itself.
Inoshiki roared as the horns on his head grew longer. He extended both hands, and the Rinnegan embedded in his palms opened simultaneously.
"Reincarnation Transformation!!!"
The enormous chakra sphere was forcibly stopped in front of Inoshiki's hands. The Rinnegan in his palms spun wildly, absorbing the chakra at a terrifying speed and converting it into his own power.
Urashiki watched calmly, a faint smile appearing on his face.
Not far away, Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto suddenly sensed something wrong. His eyes widened as he shouted in alarm:
"Not good! Captain, be careful!!!"
At that moment, Inoshiki was fully focused on absorbing the chakra sphere. In that split second of total concentration—
Boom!
Urashiki's purple-red chakra sphere vanished completely.
And in its place—
Uzumaki Naruto appeared.
Inoshiki's eyes widened in shock.
The Rinnegan in his eyes instantly turned blood-red.
Blood Rage Mode.
But no matter how furious he became, Naruto's attack had already arrived.
Naruto condensed a Tailed Beast Ball in his palm and slammed it directly into Inoshiki's chest.
Boom!!!
Inoshiki was blasted away like a broken star, his body tearing through space.
Naruto raised his hand and instantly teleported, dragging the flying Inoshiki away with Flying Thunder God.
Boom!!!
The Tailed Beast Ball exploded violently in the distance, the shockwave shattering nearby celestial bodies.
"Captain!!!"
Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto shouted in panic.
The very next second, Naruto appeared in front of him.
"Worry about yourself."
Yamamoto's pupils shrank.
Naruto's leg whipped out in a devastating kick. Yamamoto roared as black chakra rods emerged and formed a shield in front of him.
Bang!
The kick landed, and although it was blocked, the impact sent shockwaves rippling outward.
At the same time, Ōtsutsuki Ono and Ōtsutsuki Kashiwazaki groaned in pain. Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.
"Die!"
Yamamoto's eyes sharpened as two destructive laser beams shot from his Rinnegan toward Naruto.
Fortunately, Naruto reacted instantly, disappearing from the spot before the beams could hit.
Naruto hovered in the void, staring at the three of them with interest.
"Interesting."
Urashiki appeared beside Naruto and smiled.
"They're linked now—like a defensive barrier. Any damage dealt to one is shared among the others. Their defense is terrifying."
"And when they attack," Urashiki continued, "each person's strike carries the combined power of all three."
Naruto grinned.
"Interesting."
With a flash, Inoshiki returned.
Half of his body had been blown away, and his breathing was ragged. Yet, astonishingly, he was still alive.
Naruto looked at him with clear admiration.
"Not bad. You didn't get blown to death. You know, that was my full-power attack."
Urashiki glanced toward the explosion site. Several massive planets in the vicinity had been completely destroyed.
"Tch. As expected of an elite combatant of the main family. That level of strength isn't something ordinary Ōtsutsuki can match."
Naruto turned his head and asked curiously, "He's famous?"
Urashiki nodded.
"Within the clan, his combat power ranks in the top twenty."
Naruto smiled.
"Oh? Then if I defeat him, that makes me an elite too."
Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but smile more broadly. His growth was faster than he had expected.
Inoshiki stared at Naruto and Urashiki with eyes full of hatred and fear. His strength had been severely damaged. If the battle continued like this, he would undoubtedly die.
Damn it.
These two were far too insidious.
The Ōtsutsuki clan had always relied on overwhelming strength—pure chakra suppression and massive destructive techniques. They had always crushed others head-on.
They were not accustomed to tricks.
And because of that, Inoshiki had suffered a heavy loss.
Naruto had used this tactic countless times before.
Against Zabuza, he had transformed into a shuriken and let Sasuke throw him, launching a surprise attack.
Against Pain, he had transformed into a Wind Shuriken to blind the Preta Path.
Against Kaguya, he had even transformed into a handsome man and punched her square in the face.
This was nothing more than an old trick.
Urashiki said coldly, "Naruto, finish it. No need to drag this out."
Naruto hummed softly and prepared to attack again.
At that moment, Inoshiki made a decision.
With a flash, he appeared directly beside Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto.
"Captain?!"
"Open the barrier. Let me in."
Yamamoto hesitated for a split second, then released the barrier.
Inoshiki stepped inside and looked down at Watanabe, who was barely clinging to life.
Watanabe was extremely weak now, his chakra almost completely drained.
Inoshiki looked at him calmly.
"You don't need to return to feed the God Tree."
Watanabe's eyes lit up with hope.
Then Inoshiki continued indifferently,
"Because now, you will sacrifice yourself for the Ōtsutsuki clan."
"What…?!"
Before Watanabe could react, Inoshiki opened the Rinnegan in his right palm and pressed it onto the top of Watanabe's head.
Inoshiki gritted his teeth.
"Give me your power!"
"AAAAAAHHHHH——!!!"
Watanabe screamed in agony.
Ōtsutsuki Yamamoto, Ono, and Kashiwazaki were completely stunned.
In less than a second, Inoshiki absorbed everything. He then swallowed a chakra fruit in one motion.
His shattered body rapidly regenerated. His chakra surged violently.
Within moments, his eyes gleamed, fangs protruded from the corners of his mouth, and his strongest form was fully activated.
Inoshiki slowly raised his head, his gaze locking onto Urashiki.
"Urashiki…"
"The next one is you."
