I am the new Hokage of Konoha.

"Has it been exposed to this extent? It seems it's time for the final battle."

After dealing with the group of Otsutsuki people brought by Otsutsuki Kei, Yun Ting, who had almost swept across the entire universe, originally planned to go to the Otsutsuki ancestral star to settle everything.

Although it is unclear how the Otsutsuki god, who was countless light-years away, discovered everything, the other party's initiative to challenge him only brought his plans forward by a few days.

"You want to devour me, in order to reach the 'god' realm that you've always been just one step away from for tens of thousands of years?"

The Otsutsuki god's thoughts were practically an open secret. Yun Ting casually thought about it and understood why the other party was so ostentatiously displaying its existence to him.

According to the normal timeline.

As always, the Otsutsuki God will continue to cultivate in seclusion, absorbing the power of the divine tree fruits that the Otsutsuki clan has harvested from all over the universe, patiently climbing towards the unpredictable realm of "god".

But now, a powerful figure has emerged, far surpassing Elder Otsutsuki and directly challenging his own strength, Yun Ting.

The god of the Otsutsuki instantly saw the opportunity for advancement.

As long as we devour Yun Ting!

With the opponent's power not much weaker than his own, the final obstacle to the realm of "god" can be broken through, and the long-cherished wish that he has been pursuing for tens of thousands of years can be realized!

Therefore, the god of the Otsutsuki was willing to devour the entire Otsutsuki clan in order to increase his chances of victory by even the slightest bit.

Similarly, the thought that opportunity knocks but once also comes again also came to Yun Ting's mind.

The god of the Otsutsuki wanted to devour him, and he also wanted to turn everything of the former into his own nourishment.

As someone who caught up with the "god" realm, Yun Ting also wanted to personally experience what it was like.

Without hesitation, Yun Ting immediately boarded the Sky Boat he had just mastered and flew at an extremely fast speed towards the original Otsutsuki Ancestral Star.

At this moment, the Otsutsuki God, who had noticed Yun Ting's actions, smiled expectantly and, together with the Source Tree beneath his feet, quietly awaited the arrival of his opponent.

The most intense battle in the entire universe in tens of thousands of years is about to begin!

Splash~~~

The sound of space shattering, as if glass were breaking into pieces, echoed above the original Otsutsuki ancestral star.

The Otsutsuki god was not kept waiting for long. Within the turbulent spatial rifts, a huge white crystal bow emerged, followed by the hull and stern.

Finally, on the Tianzhou, Yun Ting, who had arrived at the original Otsutsuki ancestral star, turned his gaze and first looked at the Otsutsuki god, who was no different from the other Otsutsuki people, and the enormous divine tree under his feet, which was larger than anything he had ever seen before.

Then, he looked at the remnants of the original Otsutsuki ancestral star floating around him.

His gaze shifted slightly from the numerous floating corpses that had not yet been completely destroyed, many of which were clearly of Otsutsuki bloodline. Yun Ting's expression changed slightly as he spoke calmly to the Otsutsuki God:

"That's ruthless."

The Otsutsuki god, who understood Yun Ting's meaning, said calmly, "Under the gods, all are lambs. To dedicate everything to the gods is what they should do."

After saying that, the Otsutsuki God looked at Yun Ting with a hint of disappointment and said, "To become a god, one must first possess the mind of a god. I thought you were the closest like-minded person to me among these tens of thousands of people. Now it seems that you are still far from being a god, clinging to the narrow-mindedness of a 'human'."

"hehe."

Yun Ting wouldn't tolerate the Otsutsuki god. He sneered, "He hasn't even learned to walk yet, but he's already thinking about running. He's clearly not a god, but he's already defining himself as one. An ant looking up at the sky, truly laughable."

"I think I am right to be the closest to God."

Faced with Yun Ting's ridicule, the Ōtsutsuki god, who had lived for far too long, remained unmoved, calmly stating his belief that what he said was the truth.

Of course, he didn't expect to have any influence on the enemy through words, so he simply chose the most direct approach.

"The path to divinity is still missing its final cornerstone. Your appearance is a gift from fate. Be content to become my sustenance! This is your destined end!"

It was as if the heavens were issuing a verdict.

Under the majestic and awe-inspiring voice of the Otsutsuki God, Yun Ting couldn't help but feel a sense of submission, wishing he could offer everything to the Otsutsuki God as he had said.

However, with a flash of insight, Yun Ting immediately returned to normal.

He said coldly, "Just a little trick. Did you think you could make me surrender with illusions?"

"However, you are right about one thing: this is indeed fate's arrangement. Over tens of thousands of years, the Otsutsuki have committed countless acts of murder, killing billions of lives. Now it is time to pay the price. By the will of fate, I will reap the harvest of everything the Otsutsuki clan has to offer. Finally, as a gift from fate, I will ascend to the realm of 'God.' And you, the so-called Otsutsuki God, after everything is mine, the billions of people in the Underworld who died because of you will give you a proper welcome."

"Trillions of living beings? Who would care about an ant that you accidentally step on while walking?" The Otsutsuki god, whose attack had failed, was very disdainful of Yun Ting's words.

"As for fate? I say fate is in my own hands, so even if it's not there, I'll pull it back!"

The seemingly ordinary eyes of the Otsutsuki god suddenly lit up.

moment!

An immense, invisible pressure obliterated all meteorite debris along its path, surging towards the Cloud Court.

Seeing this, Yun Ting also emitted a powerful aura from his eyes.

Two terrifying, invisible forces, powerful enough to shatter a planet, clashed repeatedly between the two.

Boom~~

In an instant, the previously silent universe erupted with an extraordinary and awe-inspiring roar.

At the center of the sound source, a spatial rift, even longer and more winding than the World Serpent, was constantly widening.

Countless extremely dangerous spatial turbulences, like sharp arrows, surged out of the crack and shot towards Yun Ting and the God of the Otsutsuki.

However, faced with the spatial turbulence that even a Six Paths level being would have to avoid, Yun Ting and the God of Otsutsuki did not dodge, but allowed it to come to them.

Like a gentle breeze, the spatial turbulence, powerful enough to tear apart the bodies of beings at the Six Paths level, vanished abruptly upon contact with the two without even tearing their clothes.

From beginning to end, Yun Ting and the God of the Otsutsuki kept their attention on each other.

……

An invisible, oppressive force continued to collide between the two.

Seeing that Yun Ting showed no signs of fatigue even after such a long time, the God of Otsutsuki was slightly surprised.

Although he knew that this suddenly emerging power from the universe was extremely strong, he believed that he, with tens of thousands of years of accumulated strength, should have the upper hand.

He could still tell that Yun Ting was barely fifty years old and had no life force.

It's hard to imagine that someone so young has caught up with me so quickly.

"As expected of the final key to the realm of 'God,' interesting! Then let me see where your limits lie."

The Otsutsuki god finally moved.

With a single step forward, he moved like a streak of light, completely ignoring the distorted oppressive force and spatial rifts in front of him, and flew to Yun Ting's side.

Without sustaining any injuries, he clenched his fist and delivered a perfectly straight punch towards Yun Ting.

Yun Ting, who had previously been completely unfazed by illusions and intimidation, suddenly became extremely serious and threw a perfectly executed punch.

The moment their fists collided.

Light!

Endless light suddenly burst forth from the point where the two clashed!

Its brightness was so great that it completely overshadowed the light emitted by the nearest sun-like star, and for a time it continuously illuminated a large area of ​​the pitch-black universe.

Rumble~~~

The light was accompanied by the sound of an explosion as space collapsed.

Compared to the previous minor skirmishes.

At this moment, a spatial rift comparable in size to an asteroid opened up, like a black hole, greedily absorbing everything around it.

The closest two, Yun Ting and the God of Otsutsuki, remained completely unmoved by the powerful suction, not even glancing at the effects of their punches.

After exchanging a glance, their seemingly simple yet incredibly powerful punches and kicks, each imbued with devastating energy, swiftly unfolded between them.

At the same time, the once quiet Source Tree, under the command of the Otsutsuki God, transformed into the Ten-Tails and pounced towards Yun Ting.

Upon seeing this, Yun Ting's mind stirred, and a colossal Buddha, whose size was no smaller than the Source Tree, appeared in the universe.

After absorbing a large amount of divine trees, Yun Ting's Wood Release also underwent an unprecedented evolution.

The next instant, the Great Buddha of True Numbers, with its massive wooden arms numbering in the millions, stepped into the universe and intercepted the Ten-Tails, which was transformed from the Source Tree.

Yun Ting faced the god of the Otsutsuki clan.

The Buddha faces the ten tails.

The long-silent universe has come to a boil like never before.

……

Boom! Boom!

It was as if the war drums connecting the entire universe were constantly beating.

In the all-out clash between the near-divine Cloud Court and the Otsutsuki God, the boundless universe, which has always been dark, mysterious, quiet, unfathomable, and even despairing, is now as if its veil has been lifted, giving people a vivid impression for the first time amidst endless light and trembling.

From that moment on, although the beings of the entire universe could not see the near-god war that was too far away, they still couldn't help but look up at the unreachable deep space above them.

Even those with dulled senses can vaguely sense, deep within the universe, an indescribable and irresistible force raging.

God?

People from planets with lower levels of civilization couldn't help but kneel on the ground, experiencing for the first time what it meant to be "under divine power like a prison," and they prayed with utmost devotion for God's forgiveness.

This includes the planet "Kuolu" that Yun Ting has visited.

Having truly felt the greatness of divine power, they quickly put Otsutsuki Kashiki and Otsutsuki Takushiki behind them and turned their faith to the unknown existence deep in the universe.

In comparison, the more advanced civilization on Earth responds more efficiently.

Under Tsunade's orders, who had transformed into "Cloud Court," the major radio stations and newspapers in the Land of Ninja quickly calmed the public's minds by following the words of an unknown expert who explained that the anomalies deep in the universe were merely natural imagination.

Of course, this explanation would not convince the true masters of the ninja world.

"mom!"

Inside the Daimyo's office, six years had passed, and Maki, who had grown quite a bit, with long, straight black hair and a headband with the character "Ninja" on her forehead, rushed in. She was about to say something to Tsunade, who had returned to her true form.

The latter, who was gazing into deep space, said without turning his head, "I know what you want to say. That aura... it's your father."

Others may not know, but Tsunade, who had shared a bed with Yun Ting for many years, keenly sensed Yun Ting's presence the moment she felt the anomaly deep in the universe.

Maki, who was connected to Yunting by blood, also noticed it and hurriedly ran over to Tsunade to confirm.

"really!"

Maki's big eyes suddenly lit up, full of anticipation, "Father is coming back soon, isn't he!"
