Chapter 343: After the Conversation, Let's Head Out Together
In the vast desert of the Land of Wind, a massive black portal appeared out of thin air.
Hagoromo Gengetsu kicked Naruto's true body out of the portal, and then followed himself, landing back on the once chaotic but now eerily calm desert.
Being in Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Amenominaka realm was risky for Naruto.
Moreover, Hagoromo Gengetsu was concerned about the Sage of Six Paths' hidden plans being left unattended outside.
He found an opportunity and used Yomotsu Hirasaka to send Naruto back to the real world.
The moment they both stood firm.
Another black portal opened, and Kaguya Ōtsutsuki floated out from within.
The sky gradually began to glow with golden light.
Unknowingly, the heart-pounding night was almost over.
Bathed in the majority of the golden light, Hagoromo Gengetsu was about to say something.
Suddenly!
He looked up, smiled, and said, "It's finally here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening sonic boom erupted from above.
Like a meteor falling from the sky, a green fireball descended rapidly, piercing through the atmosphere, and quickly arrived at the battlefield where Hagoromo Gengetsu, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, and Naruto stood.
When the commotion settled, the newcomer came to a halt.
It could be seen that the seemingly burning green flames were actually a manifestation of powerful chakra, tightly enveloping a young man dressed in white robes, with a magatama pattern at the collar, similarly pale skin, and long blue-white hair.
"Who are you?"
Naruto looked at Toneri Ōtsutsuki and was the first to ask.
For some reason, seeing this guy, he had an inexplicable feeling of annoyance.
'Naruto, huh?'
Toneri Ōtsutsuki, who had been watching the Shinobi World War from the Moon for some time, was not unfamiliar with Naruto, especially since both of them possessed the power of the Sage of Six Paths.
Gathered together, it was equivalent to having the complete chakra of the Sage of Six Paths.
In a sense, this also meant the full reappearance of the Sage of Six Paths.
Toneri Ōtsutsuki looked at Naruto.
He hadn't paid much attention to the Shinobi World before, and he wasn't aware of the relationship between his intended future wife, Hinata, and Naruto. So, he politely introduced himself:
"I am Toneri Ōtsutsuki, here at the invitation of the Sage of Six Paths to assist in the battle."
"Toneri Ōtsutsuki?"
Naruto instinctively looked towards Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who shared the same surname, initially thinking that this person might be an ally she had called upon. However, upon hearing "Sage of Six Paths," despite the ancient mindset being different from his own, the idea of reinforcements seemed rather favorable.
So, Naruto clapped his hands and enthusiastically said, "Toneri! Let's team up and take down Kaguya and Hagoromo Gengetsu together!"
As Naruto extended his invitation.
On the other side.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki also looked at Toneri Ōtsutsuki and noticed the blue eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her own eyes.
"A descendant of Hamura Ōtsutsuki?"
She hadn't expected the Ōtsutsuki bloodline from Hamura's descendants to be so strong after a thousand years, even to the point where he could awaken the rarely seen Tenseigan.
Hagoromo Gengetsu, on the other hand, focused on the Sage of Six Paths' chakra within Toneri Ōtsutsuki, which was similar to Naruto's, without much surprise.
"So this is the Sage of Six Paths' final move."
How many others in the Shinobi World could join a Six Paths-level battle like this?
After some simple deductions, it was clear that the strongest possibility would be Toneri Ōtsutsuki, who could evolve into a Tenseigan wielder on the Moon by implanting the Byakugan, instantly boosting his strength to the Six Paths level.
However, the rapid transformation from a sightless state to the Tenseigan in such a short period was largely due to the Sage of Six Paths' efforts.
Now it seems that the entirety of the Sage of Six Paths' power is here. Hagoromo Gengetsu's Rinnegan moved back and forth between Naruto and Toneri Ōtsutsuki as he scrutinized them.
The Sage of Six Paths, in his purely chakra form, was already far weaker than in his prime.
To now empower these two with Six Paths-level combat strength was already his limit.
If he could do more, why would he need others?
"The meal has been served. Now, all that's left is the final knife."
Hagoromo Gengetsu's gaze fixed on the sun and moon seal on Naruto's palm, and he had already formulated a plan.
At this moment, in response to Naruto's invitation, Toneri Ōtsutsuki shook his head and, with a serious expression, fixed his gaze on Hagoromo Gengetsu and said:
"The primary target is to eliminate Hagoromo Gengetsu. That is the Sage of Six Paths' instruction."
Although both he and Naruto were puzzled as to why the primary target wasn't the chakra progenitor, Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, whom they recognized as the most dangerous entity.
Given the Sage of Six Paths' solemn directive.
It was clear that, in his view, Hagoromo Gengetsu was now stronger than Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Toneri Ōtsutsuki knew little about Hagoromo Gengetsu.
He had never imagined that the current Shinobi World could give rise to such a figure, someone who could even surpass the chakra progenitor, the existence feared by the ninjas on the Moon for a millennium.
Yet, that was the reality.
Toneri Ōtsutsuki was willing to trust the Sage of Six Paths' judgment.
Naruto still showed some reluctance on his face.
As for Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
After hearing Toneri Ōtsutsuki—or more precisely, Hagoromo Gengetsu's decision—her mood soured.
As the progenitor of chakra on this planet, this was the first time she experienced the feeling of being belittled.
Before anyone could say anything more.
Hagoromo Gengetsu, who had suddenly become the focus of everyone's attention, calmly flicked his sleeves and said:
"Are you done talking?"
"If so, let's head out together."
Omniway Destruction: Storm Release - Dragon Fang!
Dozens of black lasers shot out from Hagoromo Gengetsu's palms, transforming into slender black dragons that instantly rushed towards Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Toneri Ōtsutsuki, and Naruto.
Knowing the absurd strength of Hagoromo Gengetsu's Six Paths ninjutsu, the three of them quickly activated their respective defenses.
The battle erupted once more.
The roaring noise, louder than any war drum, reverberated as the ground trembled under the weight of the battle.
Dust flew, the sky changed color.
In an instant, Hagoromo Gengetsu, who was fighting three against one, stepped forward, his black hair whipping wildly as he unleashed his powerful and domineering aura to the fullest.
Before Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the others could react.
Hagoromo Gengetsu's speed was so fast that he seemed to split into three afterimages as he appeared before them, delivering three punches that shook the sky with the sheer force of his taijutsu.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Toneri Ōtsutsuki, and Naruto also threw their punches with all their might, but the moment their fists collided, they felt an unprecedented power surge through them, their expressions changing. As the sound of bones breaking echoed, their bodies were sent flying back.
Visibly, three shockwaves rapidly shot across the sky.
After knocking the three back with a single punch, Hagoromo Gengetsu took his second step forward.
Yomotsu Hirasaka activated!
In the next instant, Hagoromo Gengetsu appeared beside Toneri Ōtsutsuki, delivering another punch, simple and unadorned, without any flashy effects.
Toneri Ōtsutsuki's face changed.
Clearly understanding the power of this punch, he spread his hands, and several green light spheres shot out from his palms, carrying enough power to pierce through a Six Paths body and even drain chakra, violently surging towards Hagoromo Gengetsu.
