Chapter 296 - The Battle Begins

Seeing Nagi's completely confident expression, Shibai felt a bit disappointed.

"Tsk. I was actually looking forward to seeing your expression change."

"But that constant smiling face of yours with those narrowed eyes… it's honestly a little unsettling."

Nagi said nothing. He simply watched Shibai quietly.

Shibai's expression turned serious.

"Alright then."

"Little Bai, have the other six deal with those… what were they called again?"

"Oh right—ninjas."

"Let those six fight the ninjas."

Baishiki pointed at himself awkwardly.

"Uh… Lord Shibai… what about me?"

Shibai glanced at Nagi and then at Baishiki.

"You're too overqualified."

"Do you believe that the moment you make a move, Nagi would wipe you out instantly?"

"..."

Baishiki looked toward Nagi.

Nagi smiled gently at him.

Baishiki immediately shrank his head back in fear.

Yeah… definitely someone I can't afford to provoke.

So he shouted up at the six Ōtsutsuki in the sky:

"You idiots! Get down here already!"

Hearing that, the six Ōtsutsuki finally regained their senses.

They looked down and saw Shibai, Nagi, and Baishiki standing on the ground.

Then they suddenly realized something—

They themselves were floating higher than Shibai.

"!!!" ×6

Their souls nearly left their bodies.

They immediately flew down and stood before Shibai, trembling as they awaited punishment.

Seeing their terrified appearance, Shibai frowned.

"You're embarrassing yourselves. Have some dignity."

"Yes! Yes! Lord Shibai, we were wrong!"

"Please forgive us!"

Shibai waved his hand dismissively.

"Enough."

"I have a task for you."

"Please give your orders, Lord!"

All six Ōtsutsuki bowed their heads.

"You six will challenge those ninjas."

"If you win, I'll reward you with high-quality chakra pills."

"If you lose…"

"Then go die."

"Yes, Lord!" ×6

The six Ōtsutsuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In their eyes, the ninjas posed no real threat.

This time they had arrived in three squads:

Three Main Family membersThree Branch Family attendants

This lineup was considered elite even among the Ōtsutsuki.

Even members of the main clan wouldn't underestimate them.

Handling those ninjas should be easy.

Baishiki could already tell from their expressions that they were getting arrogant again.

But he didn't care.

To him, both the main and branch families were merely tools used by the true clan to colonize planets, plant God Trees, and harvest Chakra Fruits.

If they died, so be it.

Meanwhile, Nagi explained the situation to Madara, Hinata, and the others.

"In short, I'll handle Shibai."

"The shinobi world will be entrusted to all of you."

Hinata rolled up her sleeves enthusiastically.

"Leave it to us."

Naruko and Satsuki also looked full of confidence.

Madara stared at the Ōtsutsuki across from them.

"You dared say you'd turn me, Madara, into a pill?"

"I won't forgive that."

Seeing their fighting spirit, Nagi nodded—but he still gave them a reminder.

"When the battle begins, focus on stalling them first."

"Wait until Sasuke analyzes their abilities with his Mangekyō Sharingan."

"Let me make this clear first—their strength is not inferior to yours."

"Fighting them one-on-one isn't advisable."

"Try to follow the advice of my teacher, Mr. Madara, and Orochimaru."

Although Hinata and the others were powerful, their combat experience was far inferior to veterans like Madara or Hashirama.

And the three Main Family Ōtsutsuki were just as strong as they were.

Recklessly charging into battle would be risky.

"We understand." ×3

Hinata, Naruko, and Satsuki nodded obediently.

After all, Nagi's teacher was practically family to them, so they would definitely listen seriously.

At that moment—

A golden flash appeared beside Nagi.

Then a dark figure flickered into existence.

Two people had arrived.

Naruto Uzumaki [Six Paths Sage Mode]

Sasuke Uchiha [Rinne Sharingan ]

Naruto scratched his head awkwardly.

"Sorry, Nagi… that took a bit longer than expected."

Sasuke looked toward the Ōtsutsuki.

"So those are the ones you were talking about?"

Nagi nodded.

"Right. Hinata and the others can explain the details to you."

He then turned toward Shibai.

"That guy is getting impatient."

With that, Nagi began walking toward him.

"Finally!"

"Hahaha, this is exciting."

Shibai also began walking toward Nagi.

The battle had begun.

[Tsunade: Whew… it's finally starting. Even though the future suggests Nagi wins, when I saw Shibai… honestly, I wasn't confident about betting on it.]

[Shizune: !!!]

[Jiraiya: WHOA! Tsunade, you absolutely cannot bet on this!]

[Naruto Uzumaki: Granny Tsunade, your terrible gambling luck might doom Nagi!]

[Tsunade: What nonsense are you idiots talking about! Is my luck really that bad?!]

[Everyone: Yes!]

[Tsunade: ...]

[Tobirama Senju: Based on what Nagi said, those six Ōtsutsuki are no ordinary opponents. Winning won't be easy.]

[Hashirama Senju: True. But it depends on their combat experience. If they're like Urashiki or Kaguya, that's manageable. If they're like Isshiki… that's troublesome.]

[Uchiha Madara: Indeed. Even overwhelming power is nothing if it's used poorly.]

[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki: ...]

What exactly are you implying?

[Isshiki Ōtsutsuki: Hahaha. Unfortunately, I've heard of these guys. Their combat instincts are nothing like Kaguya's clumsy style.]

[Kaguya Ōtsutsuki: You—!]

[Uzumaki Kushina: I hope Naruko and Naruto will be alright.]

[Uchiha Mikoto: And Satsuki and Sasuke as well.]

Everyone watched the coming battle with their hearts in their throats.

The Screen Continues…

Shibai and Nagi both leapt into the sky.

Shibai attacked first.

"Phantom Manifestation of All Phenomena."

His body began turning transparent as it rapidly expanded.

Nagi responded immediately.

"Heaven and Earth Manifestation."

His body also became translucent as it expanded.

Under the stunned gaze of both the Ōtsutsuki and the people of the shinobi world—

Their bodies expanded as if being inflated.

Within seconds they surpassed one hundred meters.

Then one thousand meters.

And they kept growing at an astonishing rate.

Like two arrows shot from a bow, their figures rose higher and higher, leaving the planet behind.

They continued expanding into the cosmic void.

Finally—

Both figures reached a terrifying height of tens of thousands of meters.

At that moment, every living being appeared utterly insignificant before them.
