"'Since I haven't seen Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's space before, even if Kaoru wanted to use 'Magical Journey' to pursue him, he couldn't. After all, there are many spaces surrounding this world. He intended to go to the moon but inexplicably ended up in Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's frozen dimension. Kaoru couldn't be sure where Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki had escaped to."
"'How strong will Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki become after absorbing Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's power? Honestly, I'm quite looking forward to it…'"
With various complex thoughts swirling, Kaoru lingered in this snow-covered frozen dimension for several more hours. Apart from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's former castle-palace, he found nothing else of value…
Seeing that he had found no valuable items or clues in this frozen dimension after several hours, Kaoru, losing patience, activated Magical Journey once more, opened a spatial portal, and returned to the real world…
...
"Meanwhile."
"In an alternate dimension resembling a yellow sand desert, this place was extremely desolate. As far as the eye could see, there was only endless yellow sand and thick earth."
"However, in the center of this seemingly lifeless desert, a withered giant tree stood tall, reaching into the clouds, like a stairway to heaven connecting heaven and earth."
"On one of the branches of this withered, sky-reaching giant tree, a spatial rift appeared out of nowhere. Then, a small figure, carrying a massive body, leaped out of the rift and landed on the tree trunk."
"'Drip… drip…'"
"Drops of fresh blood splattered onto the rough surface of the giant tree's branch. Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki looked at his severed arm with a ferocious expression, then at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki lying before him. His pure white eyes seemed to spew red flames. 'Brat… no matter who you are… I've already remembered your scent…'"
"'Thank you… thank you, Lord Momoshiki, for saving your subordinate's life…'" At this moment, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki on the ground seemed to still have a breath of life left, speaking with great difficulty to Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki standing before him.
As he said this, a hint of struggle appeared in Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's pure white eyes. He continued with some difficulty, "'My injuries are severe this time. I implore Lord Momoshiki to heal my wounds, so that I may recover and better serve Lord Momoshiki…'"
Hearing Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's words, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's lips curled into a cold smile. "'Heal your injuries? How ridiculous, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki. Do you think I saved you so you could continue living?'"
Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's usually honest face instantly contorted in shock.
"'If it weren't for the fact that you are a good source of chakra for me, I would have abandoned you long ago. I wouldn't have lost an arm because of you. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, you have lost your value in this world. Do you understand what I mean…'" Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki said coldly, looking at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki.
"'I understand…'" The look of shock flashed across Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's face before returning to calm. His powerful life force sustained him as he continued to speak intermittently, "'Then… Lord Momoshiki, please absorb my chakra now, just like in the past… when my guardians entrusted their power to me…'"
"'Do not pity me…'"
"'Pity you?! Haha…'" Hearing Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's words, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki let out a scoff.
Facing his loyal subordinate of countless years, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's pure white eyes showed no trace of emotion. "'I will not pity you… As my subordinate, you are rightfully obligated to dedicate your all to me!!!'"
As soon as his voice fell, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki extended his remaining right hand without hesitation, opened his palm, revealing a blood-red Rinnegan in its center, and gently channeled his chakra towards Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki below…
A horrifying scene unfolded. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, who had been lying on the ground, on the verge of death, was instantly absorbed into the Rinnegan in Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's right palm, transforming into a blood-red fruit in the blink of an eye…
Crunch… crunch…
He chewed and swallowed the blood-red fruit, which had transformed from Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, bite by bite. Blood-red juice flowed down his lips, making the scene quite horrifying…
After swallowing the chakra fruit that was Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's entire body underwent an astonishing transformation.
His originally pale face gradually turned dark red. Sharp horns grew on his forehead and chin. His entire body began to enlarge, tearing through all the clothes he wore, finally reaching a physique as burly and massive as Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's. Even his left arm, which had been severed by Kaoru's Steel-Cutting Flash, gradually regrew, and the red Rinnegan in his palm turned a strange purple…
"His dark red skin and the horns on his face made him look no different from the legendary demons. After devouring Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki entirely, the surging power within him made him roar like a beast."
"'ROAR!!!'"
A sonic wave, almost visible to the naked eye, spread outwards, causing the withered, towering tree to tremble continuously. Even the rocks in the surrounding yellow sand desert were shattered into dust by this sonic wave…
"'Where did that brat come from… To be able to produce such a powerful being… That world must have immense chakra…'" Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki muttered almost deliriously, his distorted, demonic face revealing a crazed desire for possession. "'Perhaps the fruit of the God Tree flows in that world…'"
Thinking of the fruit of the God Tree, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki seemed to recall the boundless, immense power from his memories. His greedy eyes almost devoured the entire void before him. "'It seems there is no trace of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki left in the world… As long as I obtain the fruit of the God Tree… I will be the emperor of this world!!!'"
"'Hahaha…'"
Mad, violent laughter filled the entire yellow sand desert, echoing throughout the alternate dimension.
...
"In a cave in the Land of Rivers, Uchiha Madara looked indifferently at the three people before him."
"Standing before Uchiha Madara were Black Zetsu, Kisame Hoshigaki, and Kabuto Yakushi. The once prosperous Akatsuki organization had now dwindled to only them. However… that being said, with Kabuto controlling the army of reanimated ninjas, the current Akatsuki organization was far more powerful than in the past…"
"'A, Obito, is dead. And Sasuke's whereabouts are unknown. Therefore, for the pursuit of the Eight-Tails, we'll have to choose someone else…'" At this moment, Black Zetsu's hoarse voice rang out.
"'Obito is dead too? He was the mastermind behind our organization…'" Hearing this news, Kisame's face showed a hint of surprise.
"'It doesn't matter. I am the leader of the Akatsuki now. Whether Uchiha Obito exists as a combatant is no longer necessary…'" Uchiha Madara said coldly, with his arms crossed.
"'Uchiha Obito… This is the first time I've learned A's real name…'" Kisame said with a hint of a playful smile, sighing.
"'Also… Kabuto, if you dare to betray me again, I will kill you directly…'" Uchiha Madara glanced calmly at Kabuto beside him. Kabuto felt a vast and surging killing intent attack him, immediately shrinking into a ball and unable to speak, only nodding continuously.
He was now filled with regret. He possessed an army of reanimated ninjas, arguably the strongest military force in the world, yet he had to obey Uchiha Madara's orders. If he had known Uchiha Madara's strength was so exaggerated, he shouldn't have reanimated him…
While Kabuto was regretting, Uchiha Madara was also extremely frustrated. He had always killed ninjas who betrayed him without hesitation. However, because Kabuto possessed the reanimated army, which was a significant part of his combat power, he had to temporarily abandon the idea of killing Kabuto.
Although he wished he could challenge the entire ninja world alone with his own strength, Kaoru loomed over him like a mountain. Therefore… Madara, in this situation, desperately needed Kabuto's power. This was a humiliation for him, but he could not change it.
"'Alright… so, who among you is interested in capturing the Eight-Tails…'" After glancing at the three people in the room, Uchiha Madara withdrew his thoughts and asked.
"'The Eight-Tails, huh? A somewhat interesting opponent…'" Kisame took Samehada off his shoulder and chuckled. Although he didn't say anything, his intention was clear.
"'Kisame… you seem quite interested…'" Black Zetsu looked at Kisame and said.
"'Sort of. My Samehada seems to really like his chakra.' After speaking, Samehada in Kisame's hand wriggled, as if impatient."
"'Actually, I have a better idea for capturing the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tails…'" At this moment, Black Zetsu spoke again, his deep eyes containing a complex expression.
