Chapter 10

The Hidden Leaf Village was at the brink of an unprecedented crisis. The Kage and shinobi of the world had barely begun to grasp the scope of the Ōtsutsuki threat when yet another ominous warning echoed through the land.

Naruto stood alongside Sasuke, looking out at the village from the Hokage's office. The events of the past few days had changed everything. Isshiki's defeat had been a victory, but a fleeting one. The Ōtsutsuki were like a force of nature, their power unparalleled, their motivations unknown. And now, there was talk of others—more powerful than Isshiki, with plans that could destroy the world as they knew it.

"We need more information," Sasuke muttered, his voice laced with frustration. "Kaguya's playing a dangerous game, and it's clear the Ōtsutsuki are planning something even worse."

Naruto sighed, glancing at his friend. "I know. I want to know what Kaguya's real goal is. Why does she keep intervening? And why does she think we're part of her game?"

"Because she's unpredictable," Sasuke replied. "And right now, we're all stuck in it. The Ōtsutsuki may have used her, but she's also using us. We can't just trust her blindly, even if she did help us fight Isshiki."

The door to the room creaked open, and Tsunade stepped in, her face as serious as ever. "Naruto, Sasuke, there's something you need to see."

Tsunade handed Naruto a scroll sealed with the mark of the Ōtsutsuki. His eyes widened as he unrolled it, reading the contents.

The message was short, but it made the blood run cold in his veins.

"The Ōtsutsuki have arrived. Your time is running out. Prepare for what comes next."

"That's it?" Naruto asked incredulously, his hands shaking slightly as he reread the message. "What does this mean?"

Tsunade narrowed her eyes. "It means they're here. And they're not alone."

The Arrival of Momoshiki and Kinshiki

In a distant dimension, dark clouds swirled above a barren land, crackling with cosmic energy. Two figures stood at the center of this storm: one tall and imposing, with an aura of terrifying power; the other, slightly shorter but equally as menacing, his eyes sharp and calculating.

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki stood tall, his golden Byakugan glowing with malevolent energy. Beside him was Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, his presence radiating a quiet yet dangerous calm. Together, they were the true harbingers of destruction.

"Momoshiki, are we sure about this?" Kinshiki asked, his voice deep and unwavering. "The others will not forgive us for acting outside their orders."

Momoshiki's laugh was cold and unfeeling. "We've outgrown their petty plans, Kinshiki. The time for obeying them is over. I will take this world for myself, and nothing will stop me. Not even Kaguya."

Kinshiki glanced at him, his expression stoic. "And the humans? What of them?"

"They are tools to be used," Momoshiki replied, his eyes glowing with a dangerous light. "The chakra they possess will be the key to our ascension. It's time for the Ōtsutsuki to claim what is rightfully ours. Kaguya may have thought she could control everything, but she's weak. She will not stand in my way."

Kinshiki nodded, though there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes. "Very well. Let us begin."

With a single wave of Momoshiki's hand, the sky above them cracked open, revealing the rift to the dimension of the ninja world. The two Ōtsutsuki stepped forward, vanishing into the swirling vortex, their eyes set on their goal.

Konoha's Preparations

Back in Konoha, the shinobi were preparing for the worst. The information from the Ōtsutsuki was clear—more were coming, and this time, the village might not be able to survive. Naruto, Sasuke, and the other Kage gathered once more, this time with the grim knowledge that the future was uncertain.

"We need a strategy," Naruto said, his voice strong. "We can't afford to sit back and wait for them to attack. We need to get ahead of this."

"What about Kaguya?" Mei asked, her voice hesitant. "We can't ignore the fact that she might attack again."

"We need to make contact," Sasuke said. "If she knows anything about these new Ōtsutsuki, she may be our best chance."

Naruto nodded. "I agree. But we can't trust her completely. We'll have to keep our guard up."

At that moment, a messenger arrived, breathless and visibly shaken. "The Ōtsutsuki… they're here. We've detected their chakra. It's unlike anything we've ever felt before."

Naruto's heart sank. "Which ones?"

The messenger hesitated. "Momoshiki and Kinshiki."

The room fell silent. The names sent a wave of unease through the gathered shinobi. These were the Ōtsutsuki who had been responsible for the destruction of the previous worlds. They were powerful enough to challenge the very essence of life itself.

The First Encounter

It was not long before the first signs of their presence were felt in Konoha. The sky darkened unnaturally, a ripple in the chakra of the world that sent tremors through the village.

Momoshiki and Kinshiki appeared at the gates of Konoha, their silhouettes darkened by the unnatural storm above them. The very air felt thick with their power, and the earth trembled beneath their feet.

Naruto and Sasuke stood at the forefront, preparing for the inevitable confrontation.

"We need to buy time," Sasuke said, his eyes cold and focused. "We can't fight them directly—not yet."

Momoshiki's voice echoed through the air, his presence suffocating. "So, the defenders of this world have gathered. How pathetic. Your efforts are in vain. The Ōtsutsuki are here to claim this world."

Naruto stood firm, his voice resolute. "Not while I'm here to stop you!"

Momoshiki's eyes gleamed. "You? You are nothing more than a puppet. The Ōtsutsuki are beyond you."

Kinshiki stepped forward, his chakra flaring, his expression unreadable. "We'll make this quick."

Before any more words could be exchanged, the battle began. The first clash between the Ōtsutsuki and the shinobi world had begun. The earth cracked under the force of their blows, and the sky seemed to tear itself apart.

But in the back of their minds, all the shinobi knew one thing: this was just the beginning. The Ōtsutsuki were too strong. Kaguya had been but a glimpse of what was to come.

And the true battle for the survival of the world was just beginning.
