Inside the Hokage Office, Uchiha En looked at the ready Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke and asked, "Are you both prepared?"
Both of them nodded simultaneously.
"Alright, it's time for us to depart." After speaking, Uchiha En instantly teleported the three of them to Kaguya's dimension.
After Kaguya sensed their arrival, she immediately opened the passage without the slightest hesitation.
"Kaguya, remember what you promised us," Uchiha En said.
"If you manage to return alive." Kaguya finished speaking and turned to leave.
Uchiha En smiled and directly led the group into the Ōtsutsuki Clan's passage.
"This passage is extraordinary! The person who constructed it has extremely high proficiency in Space-Time Ninjutsu; every node is a folded space. Truly incredible," said Sasuke, who gained some spatial understanding after acquiring Amenotejikara.
"The way this passage is constructed is different from what is known in the Ninja World. It was built using Divine Techniques," Uchiha En said.
"Divine Technique? What is that?" Naruto asked.
Uchiha En then explained the matter of the God of the Otsutsuki Clan to them.
After hearing this, the expressions of Naruto and Sasuke became serious.
Previously, the two of them had somewhat underestimated the Ōtsutsuki Clan, but now they were taking it seriously.
The group then continued forward. After walking for about two hours, a light appeared ahead.
Seeing this, Uchiha En quickly said, "Everyone, that should be the Ōtsutsuki Clan ahead. According to Kaguya, the entrance to this passage is in the Ōtsutsuki Clan Territory, but it was intentionally hidden. It's likely not guarded by strong individuals, but we can't rule out unexpected situations. Stay vigilant."
"Clan Head, why don't I go out and check first? I have Amenotejikara and can return at any time."
"No need, I'll go out. My Instant Teleportation is more effective than your Amenotejikara. If I don't return within five seconds after I leave, you can come out. That should mean there are no enemies."
The three nodded, indicating they understood.
Uchiha En took the nodachi out of his Storage Ring and instantly teleported out of the passage.
Emerging from the passage, Uchiha En found himself inside a dark cave.
According to his Minds Eye perception, there were no living creatures within 500 meters, including insects and plants.
Uchiha En frowned, finding it strange; it was the first time he had sensed a place completely devoid of life.
Five seconds later, Asana, Naruto, and Sasuke all walked out of the passage.
"En, something seems wrong here!" Asana said after sensing the surrounding environment.
"It's definitely not right. There are no traces of life whatsoever."
"In any case, let's go outside and take a look," Asana suggested.
The four walked out of the cave together.
Once outside, they were greeted by a desolate landscape.
The entire world looked like photos of the Martian surface Uchiha En had seen in his previous life.
"Uncle En, there's a sign of life in that direction!" Naruto, who had stronger sensory abilities, pointed east and said.
"Let's go check it out!" After saying that, Uchiha En instantly teleported hundreds of times with the three of them until they finally saw an oasis.
At the same time, Uchiha En spotted several people with pale skin, dressed in White Robes, possessing Byakugan eyes and white hair.
The Chakra reserves within these individuals were immense, comparable to a Tailed Beast.
"Who are you and why are you here?"
The leading Ōtsutsuki Clan member was cut down by Uchiha En before he could finish speaking.
Asana, Naruto, and Sasuke also attacked together, eliminating the remaining individuals.
Uchiha En read the memories in their minds and grasped the basic situation of the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
The current situation of the Ōtsutsuki Clan was similar to what Takegami Ōtsutsuki had described: it was protected by two powerful Ōtsutsuki Clan Experts.
There were also four Ōtsutsuki Clan members whose strength was similar to Takegami Ōtsutsuki.
After confirming the intelligence, Uchiha En decided to use Transformation Jutsu to transform into these individuals and head directly to the Ōtsutsuki Clan Territory.
With the memories from their minds, they should be able to deceive the others in the Ōtsutsuki Clan Territory, allowing them to launch a surprise attack.
The four transformed into the four Ōtsutsuki Clan members they had killed and headed toward the Ōtsutsuki Clan Territory.
Upon reaching the Ōtsutsuki Clan Territory, Uchiha En and the others successfully infiltrated the compound using the memories of those individuals.
However, to Uchiha En's surprise, before they even had a chance to act, a massive Chakra Orb slammed toward them.
Uchiha En frowned upon seeing this, while Asana immediately repelled the attack using Shinra Tensei.
"Who are you people?" A woman who bore some resemblance to Ōtsutsuki Kaguya suddenly appeared in the air, looking down at them and asking.
This person was one of the two individuals whose strength was comparable to Isshiki and Otsutsuki Momoshiki. Her name was Otsutsuki Hotaru.
Uchiha En did not want to conflict with her right now, so he feigned an innocent expression and said, "Lady Hotaru, we don't understand what you are saying!"
"Hmph! Still won't admit it? Your method of changing appearances is indeed powerful—not only your looks and physique, but even your Chakra can be imitated very closely. Unfortunately, you cannot change your Bloodline. The Ōtsutsuki Clan bloodline in three of you is far too diluted; you cannot be our clansmen."
Hearing this, Uchiha En knew that continuing the disguise was pointless, so he dropped the Transformation Jutsu: "As expected of the current Strongest Individual of the Ōtsutsuki Clan!"
"Hmph! Who exactly are you?"
"If you want to know who we are, come outside!" Saying this, Uchiha En instantly teleported Asana and the others away from the Ōtsutsuki Clan.
There was no sense in fighting on their home turf.
The moment the four emerged, they were surrounded by other Ōtsutsuki Clan members.
"Have they already sent out a warning?" Uchiha En thought to himself.
"Are there four Intruders in total?"
"That's right. Let's quickly deal with them!" Otsutsuki Hotaru, who had followed them, said.
Uchiha En smiled upon hearing this and said to Asana and the others, "Let's make our move too!"
"Hmph!" Otsutsuki Hotaru snorted coldly, and a Thick Fog suddenly erupted around her.
At the same time, another Ōtsutsuki Clan Expert used Banshō Ten'in the moment the thick fog appeared, attempting to pull Uchiha En into the mist.
Uchiha En immediately entered Dominator Mode, instantly freezing the space.
With the space frozen, gravity lost its effect, and Otsutsuki Hotaru and the other Ōtsutsuki Expert were briefly encased in ice.
Otsutsuki Hotaru clenched her fist, shattering the ice on her arm, then used gravity to pull up a small piece of ice, sensing the power within it.
"A very strange power. Who exactly are you?"
Uchiha En did not reply. A flash of lightning appeared in his hand, and a Slash wrapped in electricity struck toward Otsutsuki Hotaru and the other Ōtsutsuki Clan Expert.
Seeing this, Otsutsuki Hotaru snorted coldly, and the Rinnegan on her forehead flashed. The Thick Fog, which had been some distance from Uchiha En moments before, instantly appeared around him, enveloping him. Then, a spark suddenly emerged from the fog, instantly igniting the thick mist.
Uchiha En frowned. According to his senses, this was clearly ordinary mist with no flammable components, yet for some unknown reason, it had immediately burst into flames.
But now was not the time to be distracted, as Otsutsuki Hotaru and the other Ōtsutsuki Clan Expert were already charging toward Uchiha En.
With a thought, Uchiha En froze the flames and instantly teleported in front of Otsutsuki Hotaru.
Otsutsuki Hotaru suddenly felt a surge of coldness, and then she lost consciousness.
When she regained consciousness, she found herself in a World of Ice and Snow.
However, the next second, Otsutsuki Hotaru realized that her mind had been interfered with by some kind of power.
The Rinnegan on her forehead flashed, and she broke free from Uchiha En's Genjutsu.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the Ōtsutsuki Clan's Strongest Individual, breaking my Genjutsu so easily."
Otsutsuki Hotaru said nothing upon hearing this. She was certain that for that one second, she genuinely felt nothing—her five senses, consciousness, and spatial awareness detected no abnormalities.
"What method did this guy use to interfere with my Mental Energy?" Otsutsuki Hotaru wondered internally.
