Naruto starts from the Otsutsuki bloodline

Chapter 287 Urashiki: Without the 'Stairway to Godhood,' could I have survived? (Part 2, please subscribe)

As Momoshiki also finished, Kinshiki's chakra caused a change in him as well.

His hair began to grow longer and longer, black stripes appeared on his face and body, and the horns on his head stood up straight.

His eyes changed from white to golden, and cracks slowly appeared on his forehead.

Then another golden Rinnegan appeared silently, and his aura became even more terrifying and frightening at this moment!

"Ascend the divine steps."

Seeing Momoshiki's changes, Kaguya, who was hidden inside Kitagawa Gen, became even more dazed.

She truly never imagined the world could become so crazy; she had been trembling with fear for an unknown amount of time after her attack on Yi Shi.

And now.
Times have changed?

"Momoshiki did it too, and it turned out great."

Compared to Kaguya, Isshiki's gaze was much deeper, he murmured to himself.

"The path of the Source School is actually feasible. Is this truly a 'stepping stone to godhood'?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Urashiki beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Urashiki was completely speechless at this moment, and his gaze seemed somewhat vacant.

He couldn't even believe what he was seeing!
Has this world gone mad?

Suddenly, he felt that Momoshiki's arrival did not make him safe; in fact, it made him even more dangerous!

"This feeling is wonderful; this truly is a long stairway to godhood."

Momoshiki felt his power surging, and a maniacal smile appeared on his face.

"Then, let me make you a stepping stone for my ascension to godhood, Genji!"

With a roar, Momoshiki charged madly toward Kitagawa Gen.

He was faster and stronger than before, and a red staff had quietly materialized in his hand!

Clearly, this is Jin Shi's ability; he has completely made everything Jin Shi own.

"Isn't this my word?"

Kitagawa Gen pursed his lips, feeling like he'd had his lines stolen.

But he didn't care, because Momoshiki's was his!

hum-

A golden lightsaber cleaved through the sky, and its power erupted at that moment, heading straight for Momoshiki.

boom--

In the blink of an eye, the two collided, creating a loud bang!
In that instant, the dark, cloud-covered sky appeared slightly distorted, as if space itself had been shattered.

The violent power continued to spread across the sky, eventually reaching distant places.

The area, which was already in a state of chaos, became even more dilapidated in an instant.

When such a storm descended upon the area below the town, almost all the ninjas perished!
"Damn it, even the aftershocks are this powerful?"

"Damn it, I can't even open my eyes!"

"These guys are terrifying."

All the ninjas were struggling to hold on, but none of them chose to retreat.

After all, their shadow capital is still here; they can't possibly choose to leave!
They were in immense pain, yet some were still able to continue fighting.

"Are those guys the legendary Otsutsuki?"

Although Naruto was also in a lot of pain, it didn't affect his actions too much.

He looked up and gazed upwards. He had only heard about these 'Otsutsuki' and had seen some battles.

But no one talked to him about anything more specific.

"Tch, that's the kind of guy that Gen dealt with back in the Land of Earth last time."

Naruto clenched his fists. He wasn't entirely convinced, but he also knew how terrifying these guys were.

After all, he noticed that the Nine-Tails inside him seemed to be somewhat afraid!
"That's really rare."

Naruto found it somewhat amusing, then looked at Kakuzu and Hidan, who were also in dire straits under immense pressure.

"No matter what they do, we'll deal with you first!"

While thinking, Naruto rushed forward, the Nine-Tails' chakra shining brightly on him!
"Oops."

Kakuzu cursed inwardly as he watched Naruto charge at him once again, while Hidan struggled to lift the scythe.

Under such immense pressure, even the slightest movement was extremely difficult for them, and it was at that moment that they heard Naruto's voice.

"It's time to deal with you all, and remember this, sir."

What started as a single voice instantly transformed into a roar from hundreds of people!

The dazzling Rasengans densely covered the entire sky.

"I'm not a loser!"

boom--

boom--

boom--

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the light of the Rasengan completely engulfed Kakuzu and Hidan.
"Hmph, those Otsutsuki."

Sasuke's gaze also turned upwards, and that powerful force filled him with a deep longing.

But he knew in his heart that he was not qualified to face those guys directly at all.

Even now, he might not be a match for Madara Uchiha.

Over the years, he has learned that one must take things one step at a time, otherwise he would be dealt a heavy blow by Tobirama Senju and Gen Kitagawa.
"So let's deal with these two guys first."

Sasuke took a deep breath; he felt his eyes were getting increasingly strained.

He decided that he had to deal with these two people before his eyes broke down!

"Once I solve these problems, I also need to improve myself. I absolutely cannot stand still, even if I can't catch up with my seniors."

Sasuke took a deep breath, and his chakra surged once again, causing Susanoo to roar.

"We absolutely cannot fall behind!"

The surging power continued to surge, and Susanoo had already reached a height of over two hundred meters.

That enormous ninja sword was so awe-inspiring, and its ferocious power was even more terrifying.

"This guy"

Sasori felt uneasy upon seeing the enormous Susanoo, and Itachi Uchiha couldn't help but mutter a curse.

"Are you really going that hard, Sasuke?"

Sasuke ignored them, having already maximized the power of his eye technique.

He wanted to squeeze every last drop of his strength out of himself!

"Is this the power of the Uchiha clan?"

Sasuke murmured something; bloodstains had appeared on his cheek, but he didn't care.

"I'll see if the Impure World Reincarnation truly has no limit to its endurance!"

With a low shout, Sasuke's Susanoo moved, the massive Susanoo drawing out a huge amount of chakra.

With a single swing of the blade, it was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had tilted!
"Momoshiki has already dried up; she's really cooperating."

Inside that dilapidated high-rise building, Kitagawa Gen's divine tree clone was dealing with Nagato and Kimimaro.

Obito is still 'offline' and doesn't seem to have any plans to reconnect for the time being, while the others are also not having an easy time.

The pressure from the battles outside was definitely not good for them, but Kimimaro and Nagato were able to hold on.

It's not surprising that Nagato can hold on; he has unlimited potential, and it's even difficult to discover his limits.

What truly dragged him down was nothing other than his Rinnegan!
As for Kimimaro...
"His battle with me has accelerated the development of his 'Wedge'."

Kimimaro's entire body was now covered in black stripes, making him look somewhat similar to Momoshiki.

With the help of the 'Wedge', his strength is increasing, his speed is increasing, and even the power of his Corpse Bone Pulse is constantly growing!

"It's slowly starting to feel like Yin-Yang Release. I can only say it's worthy of the Otsutsuki clan."

However, this level is still somewhat lacking for Kitagawa Gen, even if he is only a clone of the Divine Tree.

His clones simply cannot use the power of the Otsutsuki, but they possess all other powers!

"All things are attracted by heaven!"

Just as Kitagawa Gen was pondering, Nagato suddenly roared, and in an instant, an extreme suction force erupted around Kitagawa Gen.

The earth trembled slightly, and everything around him tilted towards him instantly, with countless boulders being drawn to him all at once.

Even Kitagawa Gen was slightly pulled by him, and Kimimaro quickly cooperated at this moment.

"Corpse Bone Pulse: Dance of the Iron Wire Flower!"

His back instantly extended from his body, like a whip or a spear, fiercely striking Kitagawa Gen.

Moreover, a layer of gray chakra lingered on that sharp spine!

"Good teamwork."

Seeing this, Kitagawa Gen chuckled, then thought for a moment and said...

"Unfortunately, it was just a little short."

Before he finished speaking, he had already nimbly turned around and dodged the sharp back in an instant, while simultaneously raising one hand.

The power of Yin-Yang Release rapidly gathered in his hand, and in the next moment, a black dagger had already materialized!

hum-

With a swift swing of his short sword, the Yin-Yang Release technique, accompanied by the power of nature, roared and thundered, severing Kimimaro's spine in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, he flashed and arrived in front of Nagato.

"The true power of the Rinnegan has never been these trivial techniques. Don't you even know Yin-Yang Release?"

As they spoke, the short sword formed by Yin-Yang Escape fell, its terrifying sharpness seemingly capable of destroying everything, and a dazzling light shot into the sky.

Even the God Tree clone, after absorbing the chakra of several Otsutsuki and gathering the power of all nine tailed beasts, possessed unimaginable strength.

Even if it can't shatter Susanoo with a single kick like the original, its combination of Yin-Yang Release and Sage Mode is definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people!

"Damn."

Nagato's face turned ashen as he faced the attack. Without hesitation, he gathered all his chakra, and his Rinnegan spun rapidly.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

Boom——

A deafening roar erupted, the earth cracked inch by inch, and a torrent of chakra surged forth, causing the building to collapse completely at that moment!

Upon seeing this, Deidara, Kakashi, and the others immediately ran away. This battle had already exceeded their expectations, and they also knew that Kitagawa Gen probably wouldn't let them participate.

"Tch, that's terrifying, um."

Deidara muttered something under his breath while protecting Kurotsuchi and the others, who, despite their disheveled state, were not particularly surprised.

They had witnessed Kitagawa Gen's behavior back in Iwagakure, and now he could even be described as 'restrained'.

"Kakashi, are you alright?"

On the other side, Nohara Rin looked at Kakashi, who was blocking her way, with some worry.

"I am an impure resurrection, I'm fine. You're the one who needs to protect yourself."

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Kakashi was also a bit disheveled, but he still managed a smile.

"I promised Obito that I would protect you. I failed to do so before, but now I will do it even if it means risking my life, even if it means being resurrected by Edo Tensei!"

"Kakashi"

Rin Nohara murmured something, while Kakashi looked at Obito in the distance.

"Rin, he's not the Obito we used to know. You know what he's done. We can't afford to be complacent!"

Nohara Rin wanted to say something more, but recalling everything Obito had done, whether it was the Nine-Tails incident or the subsequent series of actions, she hesitated.

She understood that Obito's crimes were unforgivable. Even if Konoha had its own ideas, what about Kirigakure?
Moreover, times have changed, and the villages have united to build peace, but Obito keeps breaking that peace.

No one will let Obito go, and no one will agree to let Obito go!

Thinking of this, Nohara Rin could only sigh.

"I understand. Obito really needs to take responsibility for everything he's done."

"Lin"

Obito remained stunned, still wondering if he had made a mistake.

But he had no answer, nor did he dare to think about it. He just wanted to hide in the divine power and empty his mind.

In particular, he noticed the change in Lin's gaze.
"I clearly long for a peaceful world, I clearly don't want these tragedies to happen again, so why is it all my fault in the end?"

"I couldn't find Minglin at all, and she was always encouraging me, so why did it end up like this?!"

Obito couldn't help but scream in his heart, why did he feel like everything he did was wrong?

But at that moment, a strange power surged into his heart, and before he knew it, black markings appeared all over his body.

He felt full of power at that moment, and it was as if someone was talking to him inside his heart!

As for what was said, he couldn't hear or understand it, but for some reason, he seemed to understand something.

"This world is hell, beyond saving. I must change it."

"Only when this world changes will war cease, and Lin's tragedy will not be repeated!"

"The Lin before my eyes may not be real; she is merely a struggle within this illusory world."

"Even if it's true, it's nothing more than a means for Konoha to control Rin!"

"Those resurrected through Edo Tensei have no real freedom; Rin is merely an empty shell being controlled."

"Kitagawa Gen is a beneficiary of this world, so he will naturally use all sorts of means to maintain everything."

"But the Lin in my heart, who constantly inspires me, is the Lin who yearns for freedom and longs for peace!"

"Only when I shatter this world and restore true peace will all these tragedies be prevented from repeating themselves."

As Obito continued to murmur, the power within him grew stronger, and his will seemed to become more and more resolute.

His eyes slowly began to light up!

"Lin, did you help me again?"

He murmured to himself; he was no longer hesitant or confused. This false world wasn't worth his distraction or lingering in; he knew what he had to do!

"Hmph, this isn't some inferior creature helping you, it's me!"

When Isshiki saw that Obito had recovered, he felt both annoyed and slightly relieved.

Luckily, this guy is an idiot, otherwise he wouldn't have been so easily fooled.

"Speed ​​up the process, release me as soon as possible, that's your top priority."

Ichishiki took a deep breath; his mind was a bit of a mess, especially as he recalled the scene of 'Momoshiki also did it'.

This filled him with excitement, and he couldn't help but want to look at Urashiki beside him.
boom--

boom--

boom--

However, just as he was feeling agitated, the situation suddenly changed again.

The deafening roar continued to assault his ears, and Kitagawa Gen's black dagger flashed across the shattered earth.

Nagato was sent flying backward and crashed heavily onto the ground, creating a deep crater!
Kitagawa Gen didn't stop at all. He flashed to Kimimaro's side, and the short sword formed by Yin-Yang Release swept past in an instant.

click-

Kimimaro's bones were severed, and even the protective periosteum shattered completely at that moment!
Kitagawa Gen punched Kimimaro in the stomach, causing his body to bend slightly, and then slashed his arm with a knife.

puff-

Blood splattered as Kimimaro's entire left arm was severed. In that instant, Kitagawa Gen grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up!
Is that all there is to it?

Kitagawa Gen calmly looked at Kimimaro, then glanced at Nagato who was struggling to get up, and finally shook his head gently.

"You dare to dance?"

Is it almost over?

In the sky, Kitagawa Gen, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Momoshiki, was naturally aware of the situation below.

His divine clones faced nothing more than Nagato without the Karma seal, Kimimaro in his second stage, Obito who was AFK, and himself who was in a state of collapse.

In this situation, the pressure isn't actually that great, and Kitagawa Gen can handle Momoshiki quite well!

"Actually, Momoshiki is doing alright now. Although his overall strength has increased significantly after absorbing Kinshiki, his combat abilities are still lacking."

The current Momoshiki is really not good. To put it bluntly, it's a common problem of the Otsutsuki clan: they have power but don't know how to use it.

The training of ninjas is to make one unit of strength twice as powerful, and if the conditions are right, even double it!
The ability to control battles and utilize tactics and techniques will be key to enabling future ninjas to deal with the Otsutsuki.

Of course, Naruto, Sasuke, and even someone like Boruto are also indispensable.
After being stunned by Sasuke and Naruto and becoming known as 'Momoshiki,' he began to study the use of techniques and tactics.

That's why Boruto was able to unleash such an overwhelming attack after being possessed!
"But now that you've run into me, you're just unlucky."

Seeing Momoshiki's frenzied state, Kitagawa Gen decided to accelerate, and his Tenseigan chakra surged once again.

The 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion' in his hand became even more dazzling, like a real sun piercing straight into Momoshiki's eyes!
"Momoshiki-senpai, we've had enough of testing and warming up."

Kitagawa Gen's attacks intensified, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"I'm so glad to have met someone like you, so let's be serious and greet each other in our best form!"

"?"

Momoshiki was taken aback. What warm-up and probing?

But he soon laughed, gripping the long red staff tightly and looking at Kitagawa Gen with disdain.

"You're trying to play tricks on me, kid. I've already stepped onto the path to godhood."

Sa——

Before Momoshiki could even finish speaking, Kitagawa Gen had already transformed into a streak of light and flashed in front of him!
With a massive amount of chakra gathered in his 'Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion', he slashed fiercely at Momoshiki without the slightest hesitation.

"what?!"

Momoshiki's eyes suddenly widened. Kitagawa Gen's speed seemed to be even faster than before, and the power he was now wielding was even more ferocious than before!
Could it be that what this guy is saying is true?

Before he could think any further, Kitagawa Gen's golden sword was about to touch him, so he immediately raised the red staff in his hand to block it.

boom--

The two forces converged and burst forth with a tremendous burst of light in the blink of an eye!

The light instantly illuminated the entire sky, making it difficult for the ninjas below to open their eyes.

The space seemed even more distorted at this moment, and the long staff in Momoshiki's hand shattered!
He frantically backed away, glancing at his chest as he did so.

Bright red blood kept gushing out, clearly indicating that Kitagawa Gen's attack had injured him!
"Momoshiki-senpai, although you are very decisive, you are ultimately too late."

Just then, Kitagawa Gen's voice once again resounded through the sky.

His figure, like a streak of light, had already caught up, and the golden sword in his hand was aimed at Momoshiki!

“You have indeed stepped onto the ‘Stairway to Godhood,’ but I was one step ahead of you. Didn’t I say that I benefited greatly from Senior Urashiki?”

"Pu Shi."

Although Momoshiki was terrified, he was still able to react at this moment.

With a swift flick of his wrist, he instantly unleashed a string of red chakra chains at Kitagawa Gen!
"Damn it, Urashiki is also a high-level Otsutsuki; his energy is far beyond what Kinshiki can match."

Momoshiki seemed to understand something. The reason why the Genji in front of him had such strong explosive power was entirely due to the different objects it devoured.

This guy devoured Urashiki, so naturally he will get more energy!

"Is it only by constantly absorbing powerful Otsutsuki that one can achieve greater 'evolution'?"

After influencing Obito, Ichishiki turned his attention back to the battle in the sky.

Although the fighting below was intense, everything above was the most important thing, and Kitagawa Gen's words made Isshiki fall into deep thought.

However, his gaze unconsciously began to drift back and forth between Momoshiki and Urashiki.
"damn it!"

Pu Shi was completely stunned. He never expected things to turn out this way. He had already suffered so much, and now he was considered an accomplice.

The scariest thing is that, including myself, there are four Otsutsuki in this world.

"But all three of them are crazy, and I'm the only normal one?!"

Urashiki truly felt like he had fallen into a wolf's den, especially since he constantly felt Isshiki watching him, which made him even more terrified.

At that moment, he suddenly felt that the natives of those lower planets were more credible.

And none of his own people could be trusted.
Clang——

In the sky, Kitagawa Gen casually swung his golden lightsaber, and the chakra chains that Momoshiki had thrown out broke inch by inch.

Momoshiki's expression hardened, and a giant chakra axe appeared in one hand, while a long chakra sword appeared in the other.

Seeing Kitagawa Gen coming straight at him, he quickly met him head-on, continuously swinging his weapon at Kitagawa Gen.

"hateful!"

To his astonishment, his attack speed was clearly so fast, and the power of his attack was also quite great.

But when facing Kitagawa Gen, it was as if everything about him had been seen through, and he was unable to launch an effective attack at all!
He felt like a child, that he could do whatever he wanted in front of this guy!
"Why is this happening? Is it the effect of consuming the fruit?"

"Momoshiki-senpai, you should give yourself some dignity."

Kitagawa Gen casually dealt with Momoshiki's attack, while gently shaking his head and speaking calmly.

"We are born at the top, and because of this, we strive to stand higher and shine brighter than anyone else, but this also makes us more bound by the rules."

Before he finished speaking, he seized an opportunity and drew a strange arc with the golden sword in his hand.

Ding--

The long sword in Momoshiki's hand shattered instantly. He then swung his sword backhand, the blade aimed directly at Momoshiki's arm!

puff-

Blood splattered as, to Momoshiki's astonishment, one of his arms was severed.

"And you and I have a predecessor who both yearn to reach even greater heights."

Kitagawa Gen said calmly, while brandishing his golden sword once more. Momoshiki could only awkwardly pick up his giant axe to deal with him.

"The desire to reach higher peaks is a rebellion against the 'rules,' and only dissatisfaction with the 'status quo' is the driving force for progress."

With a nimble sidestep, he dodged Momoshiki's axe strike that seemed to tear through space, and the golden sword in his hand flashed once more.

"Join me with dignity, senior. Don't struggle like Urashiki-senpai and have to use wedges, only granting me a portion of his power. Climb to the summit of that sky with me!"

click-

Momoshiki's giant axe shattered completely at that moment, and he slammed heavily onto the ground once more!

The enormous roar made the entire earth tremble, and even when Momoshiki slammed into the ground, huge cracks appeared in the earth.

The ground collapsed, and a pit hundreds of meters deep quietly appeared before everyone!

Amidst the thick smoke and dust, Momoshiki struggled to her feet.

"cough cough"

He had barely stood up when he started coughing uncontrollably.

He had almost forgotten when he last got injured, and now he was experiencing a feeling he had never had before.

death!

As an Otsutsuki, he would almost never have such feelings.

But now, facing this fellow tribesman who inspired him, he truly felt that way!

"wrong!"

Suddenly, Momoshiki thought of something, and he raised his head and roared at the sky, his voice filled with bravado but his heart was filled with fear.

"You're wrong, you couldn't have just absorbed Urashiki, you also absorbed Ichishiki, right!"

"Although it was the first person to break the constraints of the rules, I greatly admire him."

Kitagawa Gen's voice rang out in the sky, and in an instant, the smoke and dust dissipated, and he floated in the sky.

The chakra of the Tenseigan flowed continuously through his body, watching over the disheveled Momoshiki like a god.

“But he was very undignified, and in the end he ran away. Urashiki was similar. Only you can understand me.”

At this point, Kitagawa Gen looked at Momoshiki with a face full of 'respect'.

"Only you did not question my ideas after hearing them, only you instantly understood the meaning of 'ascending the divine ladder,' and only you quickly put them into practice!"

“I’ve said it before, we are the same kind of people. We can compete for each other’s dreams, but the losers should also be a part of each other.”

"Senior Momoshiki, we will unite our wills, we will ascend the steps to godhood together, and we will eventually pierce through the entire sky!"

"."

Momoshiki didn't want to talk anymore; he already thought he was crazy enough.

But now he understands that there are people who are even crazier and more thorough than him!
"Ascending the divine staircase, piercing the heavens?"

Yi Shi gazed into the distance, his heart trembling. He clenched his fists and fell silent.

But back then, he was contemplating the 'Path of Origin' and the 'Stairway to Godhood,' and at this moment, it felt as if a seed in his heart was growing into a towering tree!

"We're doomed! We're doomed! This source code is going to get even stronger!"

Urashiki has stopped thinking about Momoshiki; he even wishes Momoshiki would die soon.

The thought of Momoshiki dying at Kitagawa Gen's hands intensified his fear once again.

I've already killed him once, and now he's even stronger. Does that mean if I resurrect myself, I'll just be throwing my life away?!

Especially since Yishi had become so unreliable, he felt completely lost.

He felt that it was better to trust these natives than his own insane tribesmen.
"You really think you've got this in the bag?!"

Suddenly, Momoshiki roared once again.

He can devour others, but others want to devour him?

Don't even think about it!
Especially since he found the 'stepping stone to godhood,' how could he possibly be willing to become someone else's 'fruit'?
With a roar, the golden Rinnegan between his brows emitted a strange light.

In an instant, amidst a violent earthquake, a colossal multi-headed beast, resembling a snake or a dog, emerged from the ground with a deafening roar.

Amidst the billowing dust, it roared madly at Kitagawa Gen!

This behemoth was nearly ten-tailed, and the aura it emitted sent shivers down the spines of all the ninjas, even from a great distance.

"Dog food key life?"

Upon seeing this, Kitagawa Gen shook his head slightly and sighed softly.

"Senior, why can't you give yourself some dignity?"

"Decent?"

Momoshiki glared angrily at Kitagawa Gen, whose body began to recover steadily.

"I will be the one ascending the 'stepping stone to godhood,' not you! Do you really think you have me cornered?"

"Ugh"

Kitagawa Gen sighed softly, then suddenly laughed.

"Actually, many things were already destined, Momoshiki-senpai. When did it all begin?"

"Mistakenly believing you still have a chance?"

"you"

Momoshiki wanted to say something more, but in an instant he suddenly felt a vast surge of energy coming towards him!
"This is?"

At that moment, he wanted to dodge, but was surprised to find that no matter how he tried to dodge, it was useless.

That force was like the rope of fate that had bound him tightly!
hum-

Suddenly, a golden luster transcended time and space, instantly enveloping him and the giant beast.

Immediately following was a deafening, earth-shaking tremor, and the rising dust that completely engulfed the entire area!

The overwhelming chakra storm turned everything before them into chaos, leaving only endless destruction and annihilation.

"Piercing through the sky?"

In the distant town, Yishi's eyes showed extraordinary excitement.

"Is this the future? Is this the power to ascend to godhood?"

"Ruined"

Meanwhile, Urashiki, who had already distanced himself from Urashiki in the same space, looked deathly pale.

He knew that Momoshiki was doomed, and that Genji would become even more terrifying!
But at that moment, a thought couldn't help but pop into his mind.

"If I hadn't ascended the Divine Stairs, would I have survived here?"

As he pondered, he couldn't help but glance at Yi Shi, who had gained a considerable distance from him.

He fell into deep thought, filled with fear, anxiety, and complex emotions.
