Ōtsutsuki Hitoshiki led his men as they completely locked onto the positions of Ōtsutsuki Urashiki and Uzumaki Naruto.
As a genuine member of the Ōtsutsuki clan, Urashiki finally sensed the danger the moment Hitoshiki repeatedly used the bloodline resonance of clan members to track them across space. Naruto, although he had absorbed Ōtsutsuki bloodline power, reacted slightly slower due to the mixed nature of his chakra.
"Go, Naruto!!!"
Urashiki's expression changed drastically. The moment he jumped out of the spatial rift, he shouted at Naruto with unmistakable fear in his voice.
Naruto frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Urashiki stared straight at Naruto and said in a grave tone, "Go! The people who came this time… you can't defeat them. No—we can't defeat them. I truly didn't expect that the Head of the Ōtsutsuki Clan would personally come out!"
At this point, Urashiki laughed bitterly, full of self-mockery.
"Really… if I had known things would turn out like this, I wouldn't have cooperated with you in the beginning. Hahaha… as expected, human desires really make people blind…"
As he spoke, Urashiki actually laughed foolishly, as if mocking himself.
Naruto wanted to say something, but Urashiki waved his hand impatiently.
"No time to explain. Uzumaki Naruto, remember this—it's not that I pity you. I, Urashiki, simply want to see how far someone like you can really go. Go!"
Looking at Urashiki shouting hysterically, Naruto's mind suddenly overlapped with the nightmare he had last night.
Why…
Why is it always telling me to leave?
"No!"
Naruto's voice was firm.
"I won't leave you behind. If we leave, we leave together. No matter why you cooperated with me, Urashiki, from the moment we fought side by side, you became my companion. And I will never abandon my companions!"
Hearing these words, Urashiki was not moved at all. Instead, he scolded harshly:
"Are you deaf?! I told you to leave! This time, you cannot win. If you don't go, we'll both die! And since you won't leave—fine! Then I will!"
Naruto was stunned.
"Who is it… who could scare you like this?!"
Urashiki let out a long sigh.
"It's our clan head—ah… this is bad!"
Suddenly, Urashiki clutched his forehead in terror.
"It's over… it's completely over. I can't escape anymore. You really are just an Earthling after all… a low-level creature…"
Naruto frowned deeply.
The Head of the Ōtsutsuki Clan personally came out?
"You said before that the clan head and the top-tier members wouldn't act personally. How could this happen?"
Naruto finally realized the seriousness of the situation. If the clan head himself was involved, then the strength of this pursuit team was absolutely unimaginable.
Urashiki took a deep breath, looked straight at Naruto, and spoke word by word:
"Listen carefully, Naruto. The person coming this time is the Head of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. And when the clan head moves, he will bring the strongest elites with him."
"With your current strength, you can fight—but the outcome will not change. One word: death."
Urashiki paused, then said something that made Naruto's pupils shrink violently.
"So, at the critical moment… you must eat me."
Naruto's eyes widened.
"What kind of joke is that?!"
Urashiki replied seriously, "I'm not joking. After absorbing my power, you'll recover once more. At the same time, I'll inject my chakra data into your body. You must consciously accept it and turn me into your weapon."
"When you truly win in the future… help me revive."
Naruto was completely stunned.
Didn't Urashiki just say that victory was impossible? Why was he suddenly talking about the future?
Urashiki sighed softly.
"I know what you're thinking. I have a way to deceive the clan head—only once. Just do what I say."
Naruto's mind was in complete chaos.
Why did it suddenly feel like… a farewell?
"Naruto," Urashiki said quietly, "I entrust everything to you."
Then he added softly:
"And Naruto… I hope you can change the fate of the Ōtsutsuki clan."
Naruto stared blankly at him.
Urashiki smiled faintly.
"I've noticed that you're very good at changing fate. Look—even my fate was changed by you. So if you truly win in the future, I hope you can change the destiny of the Ōtsutsuki clan and stop us from harvesting the lives of other planets."
"There are peace-loving people among the Ōtsutsuki. Try to find them."
With that, Urashiki began explaining his plan in detail.
Naruto listened passively.
To be honest… he had no other choice.
A few minutes later—
Powerful chakra fluctuations descended.
Ōtsutsuki Hitoshiki arrived with his men.
"Urashiki," the Second Elder Ōtsutsuki Hoshiki spoke coldly, "I've finally found you."
He sneered viciously.
"Come here and surrender. Don't force us to act."
Urashiki snorted.
"Second Elder, if you've got the guts, come and catch me yourself. Don't spout nonsense."
Ōtsutsuki Zanshiki shouted angrily:
"You're too arrogant, Urashiki! How dare you speak to an elder like that?! I'll take you down!"
He was about to move—
"Wait."
Ōtsutsuki Hitoshiki raised his hand, stopping him.
From the moment he arrived, Hitoshiki had been observing Naruto carefully. At the same time, Naruto was also sizing up the clan head.
"You are the low-level creature who killed Momoshiki?"
Naruto snorted coldly.
"I killed Momoshiki, yes. But I don't know what you mean by 'low-level creature'. Who are you talking about?"
Ōtsutsuki Shashiki sneered.
"You, of course. Hmph. You think killing a few of our clansmen changes your nature? Naive."
Ōtsutsuki Benshiki roared:
"Why waste words with him?! Clan Head, give the order! I want to kill him myself!"
"Yes, Clan Head!"
"Yes, Clan Head!"
The elites clamored for blood.
Hitoshiki ignored them and turned to Urashiki.
"Tell me. Why did you betray the clan?"
Urashiki thought for a moment, then replied calmly:
"Maybe… for freedom."
Naruto looked at Urashiki in surprise.
"Didn't you always pursue power and chakra?"
Urashiki sighed.
"Maybe…"
At this moment, Naruto felt he could no longer see Urashiki clearly.
"Remember what I said, Naruto!"
With that, Urashiki activated his strongest form and roared:
"Come on!!!"
He charged first.
"Traitor, die!"
Zanshiki moved.
Shashiki, Benshiki, Leishiki, Runshiki, and Guangshiki all attacked together.
Kill!
Urashiki was clearly stronger than before, yet after barely a dozen exchanges, he was already forced back repeatedly, his body riddled with injuries.
"Hahaha! As expected of the elite of my clan—so strong! Come again!"
Urashiki laughed madly as he fought.
Naruto's heart sank.
In such a short time, Urashiki had already been pushed to this state—and two people still hadn't moved.
No wonder Urashiki was terrified.
"In that case…"
Naruto stepped forward.
"Let me try."
Ōtsutsuki Seishi was about to move, but Hitoshiki said calmly:
"Wait. Let the younger generation practice."
Seishi nodded and retreated behind the clan head.
The battle… was only just beginning.
