Chapter 208 - Chapter 208: Can We Talk?

"Is that so? But your hearts don't seem to match what you're saying. After all, I've been feeling your malice very clearly this whole time."

By the end, both Momoshiki's and Urashiki's expressions changed dramatically. After the recent period of recovery, their current condition was not far off from their peak. Simply escaping should still be possible.

But just as the thought appeared and before they could put it into action, a flash of blue light passed before their eyes. By the time Furina's figure reappeared behind them, their bodies only belatedly registered the continuous barrage of blows.

With Momoshiki and Urashiki falling one after the other, from this point on, all the Ōtsutsuki who had come to Earth—aside from the sealed Kaguya—had been completely defeated by Furina.

Although the three of them (Momoshiki, Urashiki, and Isshiki) now appeared to have no breath left, considering Momoshiki's earlier surprise that Isshiki was still alive, Furina guessed their survival ability must be extraordinarily strong.

In this situation, it was better to completely refine them.

And facts proved that Furina's extra step was not in vain. When the water spheres carrying her eroding ability enveloped the three of them, every single one of the spheres met resistance without exception. The only difference was the strength of that resistance.

Although the three did not sleep very peacefully at first, after Furina's considerate soothing, they soon all fell into a deep, restful sleep. Not a single one left a bad review.

"It's over already…"

After dealing with the three, Obito and Nagato finally arrived belatedly at the edge of the battlefield. Looking at the devastated land all around, both of their hearts grew extremely heavy.

"You two are here too. What, are you planning to make a move as well?"

"In a situation like this, is there even any need to fight? What do you think, Nagato?"

Facing the question, Obito only gave a bitter smile. The current situation was already very clear. With only her figure standing there, she was obviously the final victor.

Moreover, judging from her state, she had clearly not expended much effort to defeat those strange beings. But the problem was that those Ōtsutsuki were no weaklings.

Both Obito and Nagato had personally experienced their strength and knew it all too well. Yet now…

Looking at the calm and composed Furina before them, even Nagato no longer had any desire to continue fighting. He had thought his recent increase in strength was already substantial, but now it seemed he had merely been a frog at the bottom of a well.

Not long ago he had been smugly preparing to challenge her again. Looking back now, it was truly laughable.

However, if she were around, perhaps he could achieve his goal in another way—using absolute power as a deterrent to force peace in the ninja world.

After all, even if all nine Tailed Beasts were gathered into their ultimate form, the Ten-Tails, Nagato felt it would still not be her match.

"Um… can we talk?"

As Nagato spoke, Obito immediately turned to look at him. He had already vaguely guessed what Nagato was thinking, but he seemed to lack the ability to stop it.

He would find a chance later to talk to Furina alone. Maybe he could get her to agree to the Eye of the Moon… No, sigh.

From what Obito knew of Furina, she would never agree to his Eye of the Moon Plan. On the contrary, Nagato's deterrence plan actually had a higher chance of gaining her approval.
