XX-level Hokage

Chapter 245: Bowei God

At this moment, in a desolate space, Naruto was bound to a withered divine tree. Momoshiki, meanwhile, was using his Sharingan to absorb Naruto's chakra.

"How does it feel to become nutrients in the seedbed I'm cultivating? Pretty good, right?" Momoshiki said softly.

"This divine tree was cultivated by someone who, like you, tamed wild beasts," Kinshiki said. Hearing Kinshiki's words, Naruto instantly understood he was referring to Killer Bee.

"Soon, you too will become a divine tree," Momoshiki said with a smile. But as time went on, Momoshiki sensed something was wrong.

"Why is his chakra reserves so vast? This is only half full?" Momoshiki's eyes turned serious. "It's taking too much time," Momoshiki muttered to himself, withdrawing his hand from absorbing chakra.

"Really? We ninjas aren't like you think, easily manipulated." Naruto said breathlessly, looking at Momoshiki. "We're different from you. We can't easily gain power, so how can you just take it away from us?" Naruto said seriously.

"So what? To us, you are a lowly race that can only gain power through hard work. After becoming Chakra Fruits, you are nothing more than mere sustenance. Before coming here, I absorbed many techniques. Although I don't know how much time you spent completing them, as long as you have the pills in my hand, you can easily obtain power stronger than yours," Momoshiki said smugly.

Hearing Momoshiki's words, Naruto thought of Boruto, and his feelings became complicated and regretful.

"Give up and let me absorb your chakra." With that, Momoshiki reached out and began absorbing Naruto's chakra once more.

"Sorry, that won't do. I've just finished dealing with your business and need to get home as soon as possible, back to that kid's side," Naruto said with a smile. Just as Momoshiki was feeling awkward, reinforcements arrived from the sky.

Gaara unleashed a barrage of sand swords, which Momoshiki and Kinshiki dodged. Then, Darui swung his greatsword at Momoshiki, and Chojuro released Hiramekarei to slash at Kinshiki, forcing the two to dodge again.

Seeing the sudden appearance of reinforcements, Momoshiki suddenly thought of Sasuke and said in an icy tone, "Are these people the one with the Rinnegan in the black cloak?" Taking advantage of the moment when Momoshiki and Kinshiki were far away, Boruto jumped onto the God Tree and, together with Sasuke, freed Naruto from the restraints beside him.

In the air, Gaara and Darui faced off against Momoshiki, while on the ground, Kurotsuchi and Chojuro battled Kinshiki. "Don't think you can escape our grasp," Gaara said.

"Don't be arrogant, you inferior race." Momoshiki said disdainfully as the Rinnegan in his palm glowed red, and the battle was about to begin.

Meanwhile, on the nearby Divine Tree, Naruto regained his strength and engaged in a father-son conversation with Boruto, their barrier beginning to disappear. Just as the four Kage were about to collapse, Sasuke joined the battle, facing Kinshiki, with Chojuro and Kurotsuchi providing support from the sidelines.

After Kinshiki sent Sasuke flying with a single punch, Chojuro swung his sword, which Kinshiki instantly dodged. "Strong build, yet incredibly agile," Chojuro said seriously, looking at Kinshiki.

"You'll soon regret it, regret that you, as a mere grunt, shouldn't have shown off like this." Enraged by the sneak attack, Kinshiki conjured a giant axe and charged towards Chojuro.

With a swing of the axe, Chojuro hurriedly turned to dodge. Immediately afterward, Kinshiki launched another attack with incredible speed. In his haste to dodge, Kinshiki's axe struck Chojuro in the chest, leaving a wound from which blood flowed continuously.

"His body is full of openings." Kinshiki prepared to launch his final attack after cornering Chojuro at the base of the Divine Tree. "You too." Just then, Chojuro spoke up.

Immediately afterward, Kurotsuchi leaped out from the ground and punched Jin Shi in the chest, sending him flying. "What tricks are you playing!" Jin Shi stopped in mid-air, assumed a fighting stance, and was ready to counterattack.

Just then, Sasuke appeared behind Kinshiki and drew his Kusanagi sword, "Chidori!"

The lightning struck Jin Shi, sending him flying once more, and the giant red axe shattered in the process.

Landing on the ground, Chojuro released Hiramekarei, unleashing blue fish bones that pierced Kinshiki's body. "Blood Mist Sword Technique: Bone Pulling"

"Tsuchikage!" Sasuke exclaimed immediately. "Watch this!" Kurotsuchi instantly formed hand seals. "Lava Release: Gray Stone Sealing Technique!"

Black cement spewed from the black soil's mouth, instantly enveloping Jin's body before rapidly solidifying.

"Leave this to us, you guys deal with the other one," Kurotsuchi said to Sasuke. Sasuke, without further ado, turned and left.

At the top of the Divine Tree, inside a giant flower bud, Mashiro was quietly observing everything happening below with her Byakugan.

"Kurotsuchi and Momoshiki have gotten stronger, but Sasuke seems to have become more cautious. Although he's become more proficient with the Sharingan and Rinnegan, the loss of an arm and his youthful vigor has significantly reduced his danger. Speaking of which, is this Kinshiki really an Otsutsuki? Why is he so much weaker than Kaguya? He probably couldn't even beat Obito in his Six Paths form. It's really strange," Mashiro muttered to herself.

Mashiro misunderstood a concept: Kaguya and the Otsutsuki clan are not the same. Kaguya, who ate the Chakra Fruit, should be considered an evolved Otsutsuki, and she is completely different from ordinary Otsutsuki.

Therefore, even with only a portion of Kaguya's chakra, the four Kage and Sasuke could easily defeat Kinshiki Otsutsuki. Kinshiki's system panel then appeared.

"Bowen: The red ring on Kinshiki Otsutsuki's back is a unique weapon he inherited from his ancestors, from which he can create [something] using chakra."

There are many different kinds of weapons, each of which, if fully activated, possesses immense power capable of cleaving the sky and the earth.

"This ability might be more suitable for Tenten, but not for me. However, could you remove the red circle on his back? Why don't we give it a try?" Masashi said with a smile, and then disappeared from the spot.

At this moment, Kinshiki was already firmly under the double blockade of Chojuro and Kurotsuchi.

"You guys are really unlucky to launch an attack when all five of us Kage are present," Kurotsuchi said. "If I die now, Kagura will have to become the Mizukage," Chojuro said with a smile, putting away his Hiramekarei.

"You can't escape." Chojuro formed hand seals again. On the other side.

Gaara and Darui are attacking Momoshiki.

Gaara launched an aerial attack, while Darui charged into battle wielding a large sword.

Momoshiki kept dodging. At that moment, Naruto joined the battle.

Seeing Momoshiki dodging, he reached out to form a hand seal.

"Dad, wait a minute." Boruto suddenly came to Naruto's side and said. "What's wrong, Boruto?" Naruto asked.

"You can't use ninjutsu on him. He absorbed all the techniques I released using scientific ninja tools, amplified them several times over, and then sent them back," Boruto warned.

Upon hearing this, Naruto remembered what had happened earlier, stopped what he was doing, and said softly, "This is really troublesome." Momoshiki was dodging when Sasuke suddenly appeared, grabbed him, and slammed him to the ground.

At the same time, Naruto, Gaara, and Dai arrived and stood around the two.

“I’ve seen through your abilities. You can absorb and release ninjutsu, but those attacks are all one-time consumables, just like Madara’s scientific ninja tools. The only difference is that ninja tools require ninjutsu to be prepared in advance, while you can absorb them at any time.” Sasuke said, pointing the Kusanagi sword at Momoshiki.

“Then this matter is simple.” Gaara said softly upon hearing this.

“No need for ninjutsu, just win with taijutsu, even though it’s tiring.” Darui instantly understood the method and raised his sword. Looking at the four people surrounding him, and then at Kinshiki tightly bound not far away, Momoshiki’s expression twisted in frustration. “Your companion is already immobilized, give up struggling,” Sasuke said, seeing Momoshiki’s expression.

"Is this your child, the fox?" Momoshiki didn't answer, but instead turned his gaze to Boruto beside Naruto and asked. "I see. It seems the fate he carries is quite interesting." Momoshiki activated his Byakugan and looked at Boruto.

Chapter 246: Susanoo Nine-Tails VS Sarutobi

"I pity you, fox. You possess such immense power, yet you cannot pass it on to the next generation," Momoshiki said, glancing at Naruto. "What are you talking about?" Boruto asked, utterly confused.

"Step back, Boruto!" Naruto said, looking at Boruto. At that moment, Momoshiki stretched out his hand towards Kinshiki.

"Let me show you how our clan does things," Momo said.

Immediately afterward, the Lava Release technique that had trapped Kinshiki shattered, and Kinshiki flew straight towards Momoshiki. "How is this possible?!" Kurotsuchi said, looking at the departing Kinshiki with great confusion.

"Come, Lord Momoshiki, it seems the time has come for you to consume my chakra, just as my father bestowed power upon me. Come, do not hesitate." With a touch of tragic grandeur, Kinshiki shouted.

“Of course,” Momo replied.

As Kinshiki screamed in agony, his body transformed into a blood-red, heart-like fruit, which flew into Momoshiki's hand. Momoshiki stuffed the fruit into his mouth and, to the astonishment of Naruto and the others, devoured it.

"He...ate his comrade?!" Boruto exclaimed in disbelief. Seeing this, Naruto cried out urgently, "Sasuke!"

"Damn it, this is bad!" Sasuke hadn't expected this sudden turn of events. Hearing Naruto's shout, he hurriedly drew his Kusanagi sword and slashed at Momoshiki. The Kusanagi sword struck Momoshiki's neck, but strangely, it didn't hurt Momoshiki at all; it just struck the fine iron.

"It's too late." Momoshiki looked at Sasuke and suddenly laughed. Immediately afterward, a large amount of white smoke erupted from Momoshiki's body. The smoke dissipated, revealing a completely new form of Momoshiki.

Silver-white hair fluttered in the air, the red Rinnegan on his palm turned into a golden Sharingan, and the Byakugan in his eyes also turned into golden pupils. On his forehead, the same golden Rinnegan as the one on his palm appeared.

“A crooked and unorthodox approach,” Sasuke said, looking at Momoshiki in his new form.

“Kin-shiki willingly becomes my power; the transfer of power is the tradition of our clan,” Momo-shiki said.

"It seems I've gone too far. Well then, let's finish you off, you fools who rebel against God!" Floating into the air, Momoshiki stretched out his hands, and the golden Rinnegan in his palms turned into a red Rinnegan. Immediately afterward, the golden Rinnegan on his forehead also instantly turned into a red Rinnegan.

He waved his hands. "Oh no!"

Sasuke and Naruto rushed towards Momoshiki to try and stop his attack, but it was too late.

An invisible current of energy began to spread from Momoshiki as the center.

In an instant, the divine tree was severed in half, and Sasuke and Naruto were blasted away by the air currents, smashing through tree roots and rubble. Immediately afterward, Momoshiki appeared beside Darui, who was riding on the Gaara cloud.

"So fast!" Darui looked at Momoshiki, who was almost within reach, and before he could react, he kicked out and Darui was thrown to the ground.

Seeing this, Gaara hurriedly summoned sand to attack Momoshiki, but it was easily broken by Momoshiki's hair, which then tightly wrapped around and bound Gaara.

With a single punch, Gaara nearly fainted and crashed to the ground. "Lord Kazekage!" Chojuro was just about to rush to his aid.

Momoshiki instantly appeared beside him and Kurotsuchi. With a swift kick, Chojuro was sent flying.

Seeing this, Kurotsuchi quickly unleashed her Rock Fist, throwing a punch at Momoshiki, but Momoshiki easily caught it and then swung his arm, striking Kurotsuchi. Kurotsuchi instantly lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

"They spotted us in a second... This is terrible." Boruto watched everything unfold from the tree roots, utterly terrified.

On a huge rock in the distance, Mashiro also looked at Momoshiki with great interest. Compared to Kinshiki, Momoshiki was undoubtedly more like a Ōtsutsuki.

"So it has this ability? Cannibalism, and I didn't expect the Rinnegan's color could change. How interesting." Mashiro said softly, opening Momoshiki's system panel.

Name: Momoshiki Otsutsuki Gender: Male

Age: ? ? ? Affection Level: 0 Relationship: Hostile

Favorability Bonus (50): Sacrifice and Mutual Devouring Technique

Affection Reward (90): All of Momoshiki Otsutsuki's Rinnegan techniques.

"What an enticing reward! What a pity, it's a pity he's about to die," Mashiro said with a light laugh. The complete defeat of the four Kage was entirely within Mashiro's expectations; they were already quite capable of holding on this long.

"Next, those two guys should get serious, right? Is it because they're getting old that they like to pull this kind of thing now?" Mashiro muttered to himself.

In her opinion, even though Momoshiki is strong now, he is still not as strong as Kaguya. He is only about as strong as Madara when he had two eyes. As for Naruto and Sasuke, they had seen Madara and Kaguya before they were even 20 years old.

Just as Mashiro had predicted, at the beginning, in hand-to-hand combat, Naruto didn't use the Nine-Tails' power, and Sasuke didn't use the power of his eyes. The two could only barely defend themselves against Momoshiki.

But after fully understanding Momoshiki's current power, the two became serious. "I see." Getting up from the ground and gently wiping his mouth, Naruto said, "He's like a completely different person compared to before." Sasuke also said softly.

“No, it’s less about becoming a different person and more about becoming a monster,” Naruto suddenly said with a laugh. “Damn it, if we’re talking about monsters, you and I are the same,” Momoshiki said to Naruto.

In an instant, Naruto and Sasuke attacked Momoshiki from both sides. However, Momoshiki caught the attack with both hands.

Just as Momoshiki was about to make a sarcastic remark, Naruto spoke up, "Let me teach you a lesson, Sasuke!"

Naruto instantly activated Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Mode. "Okay!" Sasuke responded.

The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and the Rinnegan with tomoe simultaneously shone. The battle escalated.

The battle was incredibly intense. With Naruto and Sasuke working together at full power, Momoshiki's training began to falter. Finally, after a combination attack, Momoshiki was sealed into Chibaku Tensei by Sasuke.

But before he could even relax, Momoshiki launched an attack from within the Chibaku Tensei. "Inukai Kenmei!"

In an instant, two dragon-headed, snake-bodied monsters surged out from the Earth-Exploding Star.

But they were instantly obliterated by Sasuke and Naruto, one with a sword and the other with a punch. "Damn it!"

As Chibaku Tensei shattered, Momoshiki landed on the ground, and instantly, five dragon-headed, snake-bodied monsters emerged from the ground.

The monsters continued their rampage, knocking Naruto away. Sasuke, wielding the Kusanagi Sword, used Chidori to cut down three monsters, but was bitten in the mouth by one of them from behind.

Momoshiki then leaped up and landed on the monster that was biting Sasuke, pressing down with his hand and channeling fire-style chakra. He intended to severely injure Sasuke, but was torn apart by Naruto's perfect Nine-Tails form who suddenly appeared.
