Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

Hinata Hoshino glanced at the group of people in the sack, unsure if it was enough, and then his gaze swept over the last village, Kirigakure.

When Hyuga Hoshino arrived at Kirigakure, the Third Mizukage had already surrendered with a group of people at the village entrance. It wasn't that he didn't want to resist, but that there was no need. As an old man who had lived through the Hokage and Sengoku periods, he knew all too well the vast difference in power between them.

Why not surrender, sacrifice a few of them, and benefit a whole host of villagers?

Hyuga Hoshino nodded, picked up the sack, and gathered up the group. He then let the Nine-Tails eat the Three-Tails and the Six-Tails.

After Hyuga Hoshino left, Genji breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, as they had expected, they only needed people, and the damage was secondary.

In the westernmost part of the Land of Wind, amidst a stretch of yellow sand, a place that was called the Land of Ancestors a thousand years ago, can be considered to have a beginning and an end.

The pink burlap sack tipped over, and a group of people tumbled to the ground like rolling gourds.

With a wave of the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, flames surged, and in an instant, everyone perished, their souls glowing and flowing into a certain space.

Found it, marked the spatial coordinates, its figure flickered, and it appeared in the Pure Land.

The boundless darkness, with a waning moon hanging high in the sky, was still many times worse than the underworld.

With his senses expanded, Hyuga Hoshino searched for traces of the Sage of Six Paths. A sweep of his divine sense revealed the Sage of Six Paths' location.

"Hagoromo Otsutsuki?"

"Exactly, young man, why do you insist on forcing your way into this sacred land?"

"That's the question I should be asking you. Why did you trespass into the Pure Land?"

As he spoke, Hyuga Hoshino absorbed the aura of the underworld ruler from Hela and Acha, making the Sage of Six Paths seem more like a thief trespassing into someone else's private territory.

The Sage of Six Paths felt somewhat uncomfortable. He clearly remembered how long he had been here—a thousand years, a full thousand years. All he had now was the aura of the Pure Land.

Although the Sage of Six Paths had been managing the Pure Land, there was absolutely no trace of the aura of the ruler of the Underworld on Hyuga Hoshino.

"A thief will only ever be a thief; what he can't possess, he can never possess in his lifetime."

"thief?"

With a tap of the staff formed from the Truth-Seeking Ball in the Sage of Six Paths' hand, Hagoromo Otsutsuki arrived, along with the souls that Hyuga Hoshino had previously sent in, the Kage of each village who had died naturally, and elite Jonin.

They flocked to the scene, surrounding Hyuga Hoshino in the center, making it virtually impossible for him to pass.

"Oh? Getting angry out of embarrassment?"

"Young man, get out of here!"

Seeing the Sage of Six Paths treating the Pure Land as his own territory, Hyuga Hoshino was speechless. Even wild beasts know to leave marks as proof of territory ownership.

The Sage of Six Paths is simply making empty promises and claiming the Pure Land for himself.

"What if I don't leave?"

"Why waste so much breath on him, brother? Just kick him out."

The Six Paths Immortal pondered that someone who could enter the Pure Land as a living person would be difficult to deal with, and if they knew the method, they wouldn't have to hide in this place.

"Young man, hand over the method to enter the Pure Land, and I'll let you leave; otherwise, you'll stay here forever!"

Hamura Otsutsuki also realized this; yes, that's the key point.

"When a person dies, they become a soul. So, can a soul die again? What do you two think?"

"what are you saying?"

Hamura Otsutsuki spoke, somewhat puzzled, as neither he nor the Sage of Six Paths had ever witnessed the death of a soul.

"Then let me show you."

Hyuga Hoshino used his dual-wielding blue hand to grasp Hiruzen Sarutobi's spirit, and with a slight force, his soul was completely shattered.

The Sage of Six Paths and Hamura Otsutsuki were shocked. What kind of power was this?

Truth-Seeking Balls can do this, but the power of the Dual-Handed Technique is clearly different from chakra.

"Would you two like to give it a try?"

His tone suddenly turned sinister, and Hyuga Hoshino grinned, his smile ferocious and terrifying, which made the Sage of Six Paths and Otsutsuki Hamura somewhat frightened.

The two remained still, but the surrounding spirits began to move, unleashing a deluge of all sorts of ninjutsu.

Clearly, this was a test between the two. Hyuga Hoshino smiled and said, "Let's try it out. First, it'll be Hagoromo."

The Rinnegan appeared in Hyuga Hoshino's eyes, nine tomoe appeared, and he was empowered by the Nine-Tails' power.

Pure chakra power, this is the second most powerful form. The Truth-Seeking Balls transform into the Heavenly Swamp Spear, and with a gentle swing, all the ninjutsu explode in mid-air.

Eye Technique: Curse

When exerting their full power, souls that were not strong enough were crushed.

"And then it's Hamura!"

The Rinnegan fades, the Tenseigan appears, and the Tenseigan Chakra Mode is activated: "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"

A flash of golden light, and the souls shattered, leaving only a few remaining in place.

"Finally, it's Kaguya Otsutsuki's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack!"

Eighty giant fist shadows appeared and were released in one breath, wiping away the soul, leaving only the Otsutsuki brothers in front of him.

"It's your turn now. I wonder what surprise you two have in store for me?"

"Young man, I must say, your power is formidable. Moreover, we have been observing the ninja world and are certain that we have never encountered you before. Can you tell us where you came from?"

"You've already guessed, haven't you, Yu Yi?"

"Alas! The power of the Otsutsuki is indeed formidable. Our decision to let go and enter the Pure Land was the right one."

"Oh?"

The Sage of Six Paths' words immediately piqued Hyuga Hoshino's interest. According to the plot, neither of them should know who Kaguya Otsutsuki was guarding against.

How did you guess?

The Sage of Six Paths believed his guess was accurate and began to answer every question.

"Indeed, we didn't know at first, until we started observing the ninja world and discovered some things, such as the Kara organization..."

"I see, that's a reasonable guess, but unfortunately it's wrong. The Otsutsuki have indeed set their sights on this place, but I'm not a member of the Otsutsuki, or rather, I was born in the ninja world."

“We have never observed your existence, which proves that you never existed in the ninja world before.”

"Hamura."

Hamura Otsutsuki shut up, and the Sage of Six Paths, recalling the time fluctuations he had sensed a few days earlier, seemed to be deep in thought.

"So that's how it is. It was the power of the dragon vein that brought you here, traveler of time. However, since you've trespassed into the Pure Land, we have no choice but to capture you. Hamura, let's go!"

Chapter 247 Thousand-meter Gundam, Susanoo

"Okay, brother!"

Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki appeared instantly beside Hoshino Hyuga, one on the left and one on the right.

"Six Paths - Earth Explosion Star." *2

Hinata Hoshino shrugged, feeling the oppressive aura emanating from her. This was probably the reason Kaguya couldn't move, but it was no use.

The Yuzhou Cauldron was summoned and turned upside down. Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura slammed their palms onto the Yuzhou Cauldron, shattering the chakra and causing their palms to ache.

Hinata Hoshino lifted the lid of the cauldron, "Does your hand hurt? Hahahaha!"

The two were somewhat off guard, and they unleashed their ultimate moves, but they had no effect. Most importantly, their hands really hurt!

The Yuzhou Cauldron is a treasure of humanity. Whether these two are descendants of the emperor of the ancestral country or divine beings born after the prayers of the people, they were both born based on humanity, and they are completely restrained by the Yuzhou Cauldron.

However, bullying others is not very interesting; the main point is to understand the chakra system through the Otsutsuki brothers.

"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion." *2

"Super Shinra Tensei." *2

Hyuga Hoshino responded with a single move, something seemed off; the chakra of the two of them was abnormally strong.

Hyuga Hoshino's chakra is equivalent to that of the Ten-Tails, and the Nine-Tails' chakra is also equivalent to that of the Ten-Tails. In addition, he has eaten the other nine tailed beasts. It can be said that the total amount of chakra that Hyuga Hoshino can use is equivalent to that of three Ten-Tails.

The same ultimate move can only be compared by the strength of chakra, but the fact that they are currently locked in a stalemate proves one thing: the chakra of each of the two people in front of them is at least equivalent to that of a Ten-Tails.

Unless these two are charging a fee for chakra extraction—collecting a portion of the chakra others extract and also the chakra after death—it's impossible for them to possess this level of chakra through personal cultivation alone.

Not to mention, they no longer have physical bodies, they are only in a soul state. Chakra is formed by the fusion of spiritual energy and life energy. How can they extract chakra without a physical body?

Besides charging a handling fee, Hinata Hoshino couldn't think of any other explanation.

Increase chakra output, release chakra without reservation, Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and Super Shinra Tensei, successfully overwhelm the two, Otsutsuki Hagoromo and Otsutsuki Hamura, seeing the approaching ultimate move, reach out and absorb the chakra, the ability shared by the Rinnegan and Tenseigan.

After absorbing the chakra, the two of them changed their expressions simultaneously, and some of their bodies underwent abnormal changes, with some of their spirits turning gray, a sign of death.

"That's right, I added something, natural energy, a ton, and it's the natural energy from the Pure Land that represents death."

The two merged natural energy into a portion of their chakra, then relinquished that portion together. Hyuga Hoshino reached out and summoned that portion of chakra into his palm. The chakra contained a faint, almost imperceptible, life force that did not belong to either of them, as if it were a remnant from many years ago.

The loss of chakra made them both look rather pale; even a small mosquito is still meat.

The two exchanged a glance, determined to expel the enemy quickly and conceal the existence of the Pure Land, even if they could not win.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki and Hamura Otsutsuki high-fived, and Susanoo reappeared, a Susanoo comparable to the Ten-Tails, or even a few sizes larger, which could accommodate the two of them.

Susanoo flapped its wings and flew into the sky. Hyuga Hoshino also summoned Susanoo, its face resembling Hyuga Hoshino, wearing the Heavenly Emperor's Dragon Robe, with the Kirin Sword and Kirin Escape appearing in its hand, supported by the soaring clouds beneath its feet, stepping into the sky.

Two giant Susanoo confronted each other. Otsutsuki Hamura's Tenseigan flickered, and Truth-Seeking Balls transformed into shuriken. Otsutsuki Hagoromo controlled the Susanoo and injected chakra into it.

"Truth-Seeking Jewel Shuriken" *2

Hyuga Hoshino controlled Susanoo to raise the Kirin Sword, unleashing the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique. A sword aura thousands of meters high appeared, slashing towards the Truth-Seeking Ball Shuriken.

The sword intent added is not simply the pressure of a flying brick; the Truth-Seeking Ball shuriken is cut by the sword energy. It is not a creation of chakra, so the restraining effect of the Truth-Seeking Ball is not obvious.

Otsutsuki Hagoromo Susanoo drew his twin swords, stood in front of him, and slashed forward in an "X" shape.

"Boom"

Hyuga Hoshino's sword energy and sword pressure perished together, and Otsutsuki Hagoromo controlled Susanoo to quickly approach Hyuga Hoshino's Susanoo.

"Clang Clang"

After exchanging several blows with the Qilin Sword, Hagoromo Otsutsuki was at a disadvantage. While he was good at slashing wildly, he was no match for the exquisite skill in his moves.
