Since she couldn't directly obtain or reverse-engineer the tech, Hexi considered trading for it. However, trading required meeting the person. Hexi drew her Star Fate weapon and struck the barrier, hoping to draw Qiu Xia out.
Her idea was soundif Qiu Xia had been inside, he might have come to checkbut unfortunately, he wasn't in that world. No matter how many times she attacked, Qiu Xia did not appear.
After several failed attempts, Hexi retracted her Star Fate and frowned. "Is he ignoring me, or is he not here? Yuyan, do you know approximately when this shield appeared?"
"Sky Base King, it likely appeared within the last year. I come to this world for a month every year to look for the transmigrator and monitor the growth of the remaining personnel. During my stay last year, there were no changes. It was only when I arrived recently that this shield appeared."
Hexi analyzed the information. "So it's a recent addition. We just don't know the exact time. It's unclear if he has already left this world or if he's still inside and simply doesn't want to see me."
Left with no other options, Hexi waited for a few days before leaving a clone behind and returning to Merlo Heaven.
Meanwhile, in the Naruto World.
After Qiu Xia had finished setting up the planet-scale array and left, the Otsutsuki on the moon found they could no longer observe the world below. They channeled the power of the Tenseigan to attack. A force capable of slicing the moon in half struck the shield, but it failed to inflict even a scratch.
Furthermore, the teleportation passage the Otsutsuki had left in the Shinobi World ceased to function. They had no way to reach the surface.
After trying every method and failing to affect the Shinobi World, the Otsutsuki on the moon simply gave up. Not long after they stopped trying, an alien spaceship appeared outside the planet. They attempted to enter but were blocked by the barrier. Frustrated, they began bombarding the shield, but their fire was useless.
Zooming into the ship, one could see many semi-mechanical lifeforms. If Qiu Xia were there, he would have recognized them immediately: they were the Chitauri from the Avengers.
"Commander, the firepower of our battleship cannot break through the energy shield. What should we do...?"
The tallest Chitauri remained silent for a moment before pressing a button. A semi-transparent screen rose, and another semi-mechanical Chitauri appeared on the monitor.
"Bababul, why are you contacting me?"
"Commander Tarsir, we have discovered an unknown planet during our search. It is enveloped in an energy shield that covers the entire world. Our current firepower cannot break it, and we cannot scan the situation inside."
"Oh? Send me the coordinates. I will send reinforcements with a anti-matter bomb to assist you!"
"Thank you, Commander!"
Three days after Bababul's call, another ship jumped to their location. After a brief exchange, they began attacking the barrier.
Anti-matter bombs struck the shield one after another, causing it to glow brightly. This massive disturbance immediately caught the attention of the Otsutsuki on the moon. Seeing these outsiders bombarding the planet, the Otsutsuki began to drive the Tenseigan to retaliate.
The Shinobi World was a planet left behind by the Otsutsuki brothers. Even if there were sins to be judged, it was their place to do so, not some outsiders.
After the Otsutsuki branch family used the Tenseigan to destroy several smaller ships, they caught the attention of Bababul and the other Chitauri. The aliens immediately redirected their fire toward the moon. Both sides had their advantages; one used Chakra and ancient techniques, while the other utilized high-tech long-range weaponry.
After a fierce battle, both sides suffered losses. Finally, the Otsutsuki used the Tenseigan to launch a powerful strike that wiped out every Chitauri ship except for the reinforced main vessel. This move completely infuriated the Chitauri.
A dark purple beam of light slammed into the moon, piercing straight through its core. The light began to spread, the dark purple glow expanding until the entire celestial body emitted a blinding flash. The moon exploded.
The remaining Chitauri main ship immediately initiated a space jump and fled. The Otsutsuki branch family, despite knowing the danger, had no way to escape. they could only try to use Ninjutsu and the Tenseigan to block the coming destruction.
However, neither Ninjutsu nor the Tenseigan was effective. The Chitauri had used a Planet Destroyera weapon designed to incinerate worlds. Within the Chitauri civilization, such weapons were rare and only equipped on certain flagships. This fleet just happened to have one. The Otsutsuki branch family met their doom, erased in a single blast.
As the moon shattered, the resulting shockwaves rippled toward the Shinobi World, but the explosion's fury was held back by the barrier.
Shortly after the moon's destruction, a spatial rift opened where it once stood. A woman wearing white robes stepped out. She had long, ankle-length white hair, three eyes, and horns on her head.
"...I am out of the seal? Did the contingency I left behind succeed? No, it doesn't feel like my doing. No matter. The main goal now is to settle the score with those two unfilial sons and reclaim all Chakra." This woman was the progenitor of Chakra in the Shinobi World, the Rabbit Goddess, Kaguya Otsutsuki.
The moment Kaguya emerged from the seal, Hagoromo Otsutsukiresiding in the Pure Landsensed the change. His expression shifted drastically. He tried to sense his mother's situation,
but found that the barrier around the world blocked his perception of the outside. Not only was he blind to the cosmos, but because of this barrier, Hagoromo found that he could no longer even leave the Pure Land.
"An anomaly... a true anomaly! Had I known, I should have dealt with that variable the moment he appeared." Hagoromo had shared Chakra with the world, and as the giver, his will resided within it. Every person with Chakra acted as his eyes. However, the Land of Demons was a place he couldn't reach, as they didn't cultivate Chakra but Spiritual Energynatural energy.
Consequently, Hagoromo was as ignorant of the Land of Demons as the rest of the world. All he knew was that a unique God Tree had appeared there, and because of it, a barrier had risen to protect the world from outside intrusion.
Initially, Hagoromo thought this was a good thing, as it would prevent an Otsutsuki invasion. He hadn't expected the barrier to be so restrictive that he would be trapped within the Pure Land.
Walking the world was a vital part of his plans. If he couldn't leave, his long-term schemes would be ruined. Hagoromo was beyond furious; his rage was murderous.
He wasn't the only one. Kaguya Otsutsuki was also enraged. She had finally broken her seal and the Shinobi World was right in front of her, yet she was being blocked by a barrier. Who could endure such a thing?
Kaguya nearly exploded with anger. She tried everythingSpace-Time Migration, Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack, All-Killing Ash Bones, and Truth-Seeking Balls. None of them could damage the barrier, and she remained locked outside.
