As the lower-ranked member, Otsutsuki Kaguya Hime had clearly been expected to sacrifice herself, and Otsutsuki Kaguya Hime had obviously refused.
Clearly, not everyone was willing to calmly walk to their death. The same rice raised a hundred different kinds of people. Among the Sannin, there was Jiraiya, who could face death with peace, and there was also Orochimaru, who tried every possible method not to die, chasing immortality and endless life.
Among the Otsutsuki, there were those like Otsutsuki Kinshiki, who were willing to sacrifice themselves, and there were also those like Otsutsuki Kaguya, who were unwilling to die.
This also lined up with Otsutsuki Kaguya Hime creating the so-called White Zetsu Army to deal with the Otsutsuki Main Family's punishment force.
It matched. Everything matched.
The only thing he did not understand was what exactly Otsutsuki Kaguya Hime had encountered back then in the Shinobi World that had led to her needing to offer up herself as a sacrifice, to the point that she refused and directly rebelled against Otsutsuki Isshiki.
Clearly, there were still many things they did not know about this godlike Otsutsuki Clan.
In the video, after swallowing Otsutsuki Kinshiki, the aura around Otsutsuki Momoshiki became terrifying beyond measure. His appearance, which had originally still resembled a human's, had turned into that of a vicious demon. A single roar seemed to form a massive Wind Release Ninjutsu.
His entire body turned red, as though his flesh and skin no longer existed. He no longer looked human at all.
A Rinnegan opened between Otsutsuki Momoshiki's brows, exactly the same as Otsutsuki Kaguya's situation in the earlier video.
Faced with an opponent like this, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto showed no fear at all. Step by step, they walked forward.
"Heh. It's like looking at my old self."
When Uchiha Sasuke saw Otsutsuki Momoshiki, he remembered what he had looked like after the Cursed Seal transformation back then and could not help laughing.
"Right? Show him what you've got, Sasuke."
Uzumaki Naruto smiled with confidence and instantly entered Sage Tailed Beast Mode.
Sage Mode was something his teacher Jiraiya needed to go through all kinds of trouble to enter, yet Naruto could slip into Sage Mode in an instant.
"Yeah!" Uchiha Sasuke smiled faintly. In the next moment, both sides charged forward, clashing head-on with Otsutsuki Momoshiki, who had turned into something like a fierce demon.
Because they were wary of Otsutsuki Momoshiki's Rinnegan, both sides used almost nothing but Taijutsu. Even after so many years, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto still had flawless teamwork. Together, they actually fought Otsutsuki Momoshiki to a standstill.
"What powerful Taijutsu. Those two brats can actually improve to this level in the future."
Hatake Kakashi was deeply shocked. He was their squad leader, so of course he knew their current strength very well. In terms of fundamentals, Uchiha Sasuke was passable, but Uzumaki Naruto was far behind. Yet in the future, both of them displayed unimaginable Taijutsu ability in battle.
In just a few moments, the fight between the two sides shifted from an initial Taijutsu exchange straight into Piloting Gundams and smashing into each other head-on.
Otsutsuki Momoshiki directly unleashed the terrifying Monkey Rock, a gigantic stone ape-man. On Naruto and Sasuke's side, Uzumaki Naruto also entered the powerful Nine-Tails Chakra Mode. The enormous Nine-Tails was not inferior to Monkey Rock in the slightest. Uchiha Sasuke once again used Majestic Attire: Susanoo, merging Susanoo's armor with the Nine-Tails.
The two terrifying giants clashed across the land. The sight was horrifying.
Watching the clash between these terrifying monsters, everyone seemed to finally understand what Kaede Kitahara had meant. These two monsters were massive as mountains, but their power was far greater than the Summoned Beasts the Sannin had once called forth.
Just as Majestic Attire: Susanoo destroyed Monkey Rock in a single blow, and Otsutsuki Momoshiki seemed on the verge of defeat, Tono Katasuke suddenly jumped out and used Scientific Ninja Tools to bombard Otsutsuki Momoshiki.
Yet that happened to give Otsutsuki Momoshiki an opportunity. After absorbing the Ninjutsu from the Scientific Ninja Tools, his strength rose even higher, and he began madly pouring out all the Ninjutsu from the Scientific Ninja Tools.
"This ability isn't bad!" Otsutsuki Momoshiki sneered. Seeing that Uzumaki Naruto was about to rise again, he instantly drove several Black Receivers through Uzumaki Naruto's body. "I can't afford to be careless with you. But I still won't kill you."
"As for the others, they're just in the way."
Originally, he had not looked down on the creatures of the Shinobi World at all. He simply had not expected the creatures of this world to be so terrifying that they could force him this far, almost to the point of defeat.
When everyone outside the screen saw this scene, they nearly died of anger.
"That damned bastard. How dare he?"
Tsunade roared. Victory had been right in front of them, but that damned Tono Katasuke had ended up assisting Otsutsuki Momoshiki, all just to prove that his Scientific Ninja Tools were useful?
Tsunade trembled with rage, her ample chest shaking faintly. She had never imagined someone could be stupid to this extent.
Although inventing Scientific Ninja Tools was impressive, his personality was that of a completely uncontrollable lunatic.
Could he not read the situation? To actually run out at a time like this.
"Damn it, that Tono Katasuke."
At that moment, even the good-tempered Seventh Hokage Naruto was furious.
This was a terrifyingly powerful enemy. Even with him and Sasuke working together, victory was far from guaranteed. Yet this Tono Katasuke had run out again and again without considering the situation, only to promote his Scientific Ninja Tools.
First, he had tempted Naruto's son into making a mistake by illegally using Scientific Ninja Tools. Then, in full view of the crowd, he had stepped on Naruto's head as Hokage to promote Scientific Ninja Tools. In the end, he had even provided Otsutsuki Momoshiki with the most critical assist.
Even Naruto, who had always had a good temper and rarely showed killing intent, was so angry now that killing intent stirred in him.
"Damned bastard!"
The little sun, Namikaze Minato, entered a black-bellied state. As he looked at Tono Katasuke in the video, a dangerous aura kept flashing in his eyes.
Uchiha Sasuke, especially, was trembling with rage. He had just seen his future self display overwhelming power and team up with Uzumaki Naruto, and they had been about to end the battle. Then this idiot suddenly jumped out.
The others were all too angry to speak. What a stupid pig teammate. He was useless at the critical moment and kept dragging them down. It was simply too hateful.
At that moment in the screen, just as Otsutsuki Momoshiki was about to use Ninjutsu to wipe everyone out, Uchiha Sasuke, who had been waiting on the side the whole time, used Susanoo to lift Uzumaki Boruto up and said, "Now. Remember what I told you. The timing for releasing the Rasengan."
"I really…"
Uzumaki Boruto did not have much faith in himself.
"Your master believes in you. That's why I brought you here."
Uchiha Sasuke looked at Uzumaki Boruto in front of him as he spoke.
"Yeah." Uzumaki Boruto began forming the Rasengan. This time, he did not use Scientific Ninja Tools. He created it himself.
Facing the incoming Rasengan, Otsutsuki Momoshiki paid it no mind, because the Rasengan disappeared outright. But at the critical moment, the Rasengan appeared again and directly interrupted Otsutsuki Momoshiki, saving everyone.
Everyone froze. What was going on with that Rasengan? It disappeared, then appeared again? What kind of situation was this?
"When did you learn the Rasengan? The Rasengan is really hard." Uzumaki Naruto looked at his son in shock.
That was A-Rank Ninjutsu. Back then, he had spent a long time learning it. He had never expected his own kid to learn it just like that.
And without Naruto even knowing about it.
"But that Rasengan can disappear based on Chakra Nature Transformation," Uchiha Sasuke explained. "Boruto, one more time."
Only after Uchiha Sasuke explained the situation with that Rasengan did everyone understand that Chakra Nature Transformation had been added into it, which was why it took that form.
"As expected of Naruto's son."
Namikaze Minato spoke with satisfaction.
The Rasengan he created had already developed into a brand-new series in his son, Uzumaki Naruto's hands. Now, his eldest grandson had inherited that talent and had clearly brought the Rasengan to an entirely new level.
"But my Rasengan…" Uzumaki Boruto said.
"Believe in Sasuke," Uzumaki Naruto said simply, without explaining further.
At that moment, Otsutsuki Momoshiki completely lost his composure. This damned brat had already interrupted him twice.
"How dare you? You've dirtied my clothes a second time."
Otsutsuki Momoshiki roared. After swallowing all the Chakra Pills in one gulp, he entered a brand-new state.
At the same time, with Uzumaki Naruto's help, Uzumaki Boruto's Rasengan also continued to change.
Everyone froze at this scene, because they had seen this before. Back in The Lost Tower Arc, Uzumaki Naruto had also struck with the strongest Rasengan he could produce at the time with the help of his father, Namikaze Minato.
And now, like a cycle repeating itself, Uzumaki Naruto was helping his own child, Uzumaki Boruto, enlarging the Rasengan with him.
The two scenes were so similar.
Although Uzumaki Naruto no longer had his memories of the ancient country of Roran from back then, he still managed to do it through instinct.
"I can enlarge this kind of thing infinitely." Clearly, Otsutsuki Momoshiki had formed his own Rasengan and did not take Uzumaki Boruto's Rasengan seriously at all.
But with just one beautiful tactical combination, Uchiha Sasuke helped Uzumaki Boruto seize the opportunity at the critical moment. In an instant, Boruto stabbed the Rinnegan in Otsutsuki Momoshiki's palm blind, leaving him unable to absorb that Rasengan anymore.
Only then did the two sides directly clash Rasengan against Rasengan.
In the end, Uzumaki Boruto won the final battle and defeated Otsutsuki Momoshiki in an instant.
Watching his son stand atop the mountain peak, Uzumaki Naruto silently thought to himself.
That's right. You're different from me. My father was the Fourth Hokage. I'm the Hokage, and I'm still alive. I can stay by your side and look after you until you grow up.
