"The Heavenly Throne... its vacancy."
Naruto couldn't help but mutter these words softly. He had heard them before. And the last person to say these words...
His gaze, filled with fear and unease, shifted toward Kitagawa Minamoto, who stood calmly with his arms crossed.
Although Kitagawa Minamoto often spoke cryptic and bizarre things, as Naruto's first friend and the first person to acknowledge him, Naruto had tried his best to remember his words. Especially this phrase, which he perceived as a challenge to the idea of "Hokage."
But now, he couldn't believe that the same words were coming out of Ōtsutsuki Minamoto's mouth. The demeanor, the tone, even the subconscious gesture of brushing his hair as he gazed at the sky—it was all too similar. Even though their voices were completely different, Naruto couldn't suppress the terror rising within him.
Could it be... Could it be...
"Naruto, what's wrong?" Sasuke noticed Naruto's strange behavior and couldn't help but ask softly. Kitagawa Minamoto also turned his head with amusement.
"Hey, are you scared?"
"I..." Naruto hesitated, but ultimately chose to remain silent. His gaze shifted upward to the sky, especially toward the mask on Ōtsutsuki Minamoto's face. Naruto's fists clenched involuntarily.
"This kind of rhetoric, why..."
Meanwhile, among the Ninja Alliance, Ino's expression also appeared confused as she stared at the figure in the sky. Her gaze flickered, her fists clenched unconsciously, and she bit her lip tightly without realizing it.
"Ino, are you okay?" Choji asked worriedly, while Shikamaru leaned forward, his face full of confusion.
"I..." Ino opened her mouth, but ultimately, like Naruto, she found herself unable to say anything. Her gaze remained fixed, filled with curiosity about the face behind that mask.
"Standing at the summit..."
The three Ōtsutsuki were equally stunned, their expressions filled with shock as they stared at the figure in the sky. Those words echoed endlessly in their minds.
At this moment, they truly felt fear. And beyond that fear, an indescribable emotion began to stir within them. They had considered the extent of Ōtsutsuki Minamoto's ambition before, but now it seemed he was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
Simultaneously, they found themselves reflecting deeply on one crucial question:
"Kekkei Mōra... Can it truly be condensed? Can it truly elevate one's existence through such a method? Can it truly lead to the summit?"
Kekkei Mōra represented a leap in the level of life itself. The essence of devouring fruits and consuming "pills" was to accumulate energy and ultimately achieve this elevation.
No wonder this man was so confident. No wonder he dared to make such bold declarations. This was indeed a "Path to Godhood."
"Well then, farewell, my fellow clansmen," Kitagawa Minamoto spoke again from the sky.
"As my kin, you are indeed fascinating. But unfortunately, our wills are not united. Still, I will carry your intentions with me as I ascend to the summit."
"After all, I've said before—this glory is not mine to monopolize. Every clansman who has contributed to my 'Path to Godhood,' I will remember them in my heart!"
As he spoke, his chakra erupted once more. The terrifying aura seemed to engulf the heavens and earth. Such power sent chills through everyone's hearts. Even his mere presence was so overwhelming that it was clear why the three Ōtsutsuki couldn't stand against him.
"We have to do something!" Black Zetsu refused to accept this reality. He didn't even want his mother to emerge. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at his two elder brothers, pleading desperately.
"Do something, you two! At the very least, seal Mother away!"
"..."
Black Zetsu's words caused both Hagoromo and Hamura to widen their eyes in surprise. Wait—wasn't this the same guy who had always been at odds with them? Why the sudden change?
"..."
Kitagawa Minamoto's Divine Tree clone was equally stunned. Although he had long understood the situation, he couldn't believe the audacity of this guy. Did Black Zetsu not know that his mother had been displeased with him for ages?
"And you, the people of the Ninja world!" Black Zetsu turned again, this time toward Kitagawa Minamoto and the others.
"If you don't act now, it'll be too late!"
"We do need to act. We can't let this continue." Sasuke nodded in agreement, while Hashirama sighed and gazed at the sky. Meanwhile, Madara slowly regained consciousness.
"Damn it..."
"Madara, are you alright?" Hashirama asked worriedly, but Madara appeared weak.
"I'm fine, I just..."
"You're practically dead. After all, losing the Ten-Tails isn't exactly a minor issue." Kitagawa Minamoto shrugged and spoke casually, his gaze shifting toward Hagoromo.
"So, what's the plan now?"
"..."
Hagoromo remained silent, his eyes fixed on Kitagawa Minamoto's clone. This question—was he seriously asking him? Wasn't this all orchestrated by Kitagawa Minamoto himself? And wasn't he already targeting the three Ōtsutsuki? Did he really expect Hagoromo to protect them and deliberately oppose him?
"Madara's issue can be resolved..." Hamura suddenly blinked and spoke softly.
"But right now, there's only one mission for all of you."
"Huh?" Madara still hadn't grasped the situation, but Hashirama and Sasuke understood immediately. They glanced at Madara briefly before turning their attention to Hagoromo's younger brother.
"Great Sage, what is our mission?"
"Naturally..." Hamura smiled at Kitagawa Minamoto, then raised his head to look at the looming figure of Ōtsutsuki Minamoto in the sky.
"Stop Ōtsutsuki Minamoto's rampage. We will lend you our strength, but from here on..."
As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the group, continuing in a low voice.
"The future of the Ninja world rests on your shoulders. Even Mother's safety may depend on you."
Hamura's words were resolute, but Hagoromo felt a wave of helplessness. His younger brother was at it again. But given the circumstances, he had no choice but to push things forward. Even Hagoromo himself felt like he was being dragged along.
"If we're going to act, we might as well go big." Hagoromo looked toward the three Ōtsutsuki, as if he could see the souls roaring within their bodies. Finally, his chakra began to spread. He decided to join Kitagawa Minamoto and his brother in this madness.
But none of them noticed Naruto's silent, flickering gaze.
"Damn it, we have to figure something out!" Elsewhere, the three Ōtsutsuki were recovering rapidly. Looking at Ōtsutsuki Minamoto, who seemed ready to strike at any moment, they realized they couldn't wait any longer.
"Bring Kaguya into this. She has to do something!" Momoshiki growled angrily. The tension in the air was suffocating, and even he couldn't take it anymore.
"Fine. She can't escape this anyway. We were protecting her, but now she has to act." Isshiki nodded in agreement, seeing no other option. Meanwhile, Urashiki inexplicably turned to look at the distant ocean.
"Perhaps... we still have a chance. Do you remember the 'Plow'?"
"The 'Plow'?" Hearing this, Momoshiki's eyes lit up. The "Plow" was a legendary artifact of the Ōtsutsuki clan, said to belong to Ōtsutsuki Shibai. It was rumored to allow travel through time and space, but unfortunately, it had long vanished, and no one knew where it was.
"Do you know where it is?" Isshiki's expression darkened. Ōtsutsuki Shibai's remains had been in his possession, yet he hadn't found the "Plow." So what was Urashiki talking about?
"Just now, I seemed to sense the 'Plow's' presence." Urashiki didn't keep them guessing. He knew that escaping on his own was impossible; he couldn't break through Minamoto's defenses. But he didn't reveal everything—if they abandoned him, he'd be in deep trouble.
"If we can activate it, we can escape to another time-space, and even..."
"Find a way to kill him there!"
Isshiki and Momoshiki's eyes gleamed with malice. Ōtsutsuki Minamoto was too terrifying, and they couldn't withstand him. For them, escape was the best option. The "Plow's" existence offered a glimmer of hope. Most importantly...
"We've learned about the 'Path to Godhood.' If we can return to the past, kill Minamoto early, and take action ourselves..."
For ambitious Ōtsutsuki, who wouldn't want to "stand at the summit"? Who wouldn't want to become the true "God of the Ōtsutsuki"? The opportunity was right in front of them, and they couldn't afford to miss it.
"Finished chatting?" Just as they finalized their decision, Kitagawa Minamoto's voice echoed again.
"Since you've said your goodbyes, it's time to depart, seniors."
"No need to be nervous or upset. Simply wait for death to come. Do not fear—no matter what happens, if you move forward with me, then..."
"We will undoubtedly stand together at the summit of the Heavenly Throne!"
Hum—
Kitagawa Minamoto swung his sword, and in that moment, infinite chakra seemed to materialize. Flames, lightning, fierce winds, and torrential rain all converged, following his movement and surging violently toward the three Ōtsutsuki.
Space itself warped dramatically, as if the entire world was being obscured in that moment.
"Go!" Isshiki roared, and the space around them underwent a massive transformation. A strange spatial window was forcibly opened by Isshiki, while the chakra summoned by Kitagawa Minamoto was compressed in the blink of an eye.
Their figures instantly disappeared into the spatial rift, as if trying to escape.
BOOM—
The thunderous chakra crashed to the ground, instantly filling the sky and ocean with thick dust. The three Ōtsutsuki had vanished.
"You really think I can't see your movements?" Kitagawa Minamoto snorted coldly. His eyes locked onto the spatial trajectory of the three Ōtsutsuki—they could never escape his grasp!
Blinding light dispersed all surrounding dust, as if what Kitagawa Minamoto held was not a golden sword, but a blazing, dazzling sun.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
His attack instantly penetrated the spatial rift, pursuing the three with deadly intent.
"Damn it!" In an instant, Momoshiki felt excruciating pain in his chest. Kitagawa MinamotoChapter 329: Naruto: Let's End This Together (Please Subscribe)

Their figures disappeared into the spatial rift, as if trying to escape.
BOOM—
The thunderous chakra crashed to the ground, instantly filling the sky and ocean with thick dust clouds. The three figures had vanished.
"You really think I can't see your movements?" Kitagawa Minamoto snorted coldly. His eyes locked onto the spatial trajectory of the three Ōtsutsuki—they couldn't possibly escape his grasp!
Blinding light dispersed all the surrounding dust, as if what Kitagawa Minamoto held in his hand wasn't a golden sword, but a blazing, dazzling sun.
"Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!"
His attack instantly penetrated the spatial rift, pursuing the three with deadly intent.
"Damn it!" In an instant, Momoshiki felt excruciating pain in his chest. Kitagawa Minamoto's attack had penetrated the spatial barrier and struck him directly!
At that moment, true fear appeared in Momoshiki's eyes. He knew that this time, he likely had no chance of escape. He could continue using the "Wedge," but it would be meaningless. He didn't even believe he could survive long enough to find a new "vessel"!
"AHHH!" Despite Momoshiki's struggles, he couldn't escape his locked fate. Howling in agony, he tried to resist, but in the flood of chakra, his body was instantly severed in two. His lower half fell into the alternate dimension, while his upper half desperately clung to Isshiki's body.
"Damn it..." Isshiki was shocked, but as he looked at what remained of Momoshiki, something strange flickered in his eyes!
"Why keep running? It's truly pointless." Before Isshiki could react, Kitagawa Minamoto's voice rang out again.
"Die!" Urashiki couldn't hold back anymore. He had never imagined that even three against one would end like this. He suddenly turned back, his red fishing hooks transforming into countless stars that shot fiercely toward Kitagawa Minamoto outside the spatial rift!
Clang—
With a metallic sound, Urashiki's hooks were all sliced apart by the golden sword. The golden blade surged toward him, filling Urashiki with terror!
"Hurry! If I die, none of us will escape!"
"Shut up!" Isshiki suddenly turned back, looking at the golden light rushing toward Urashiki. His black eye began to spin frantically.
The golden radiance was compressed in that moment, barely restraining the sword's advance. But the blade still sliced through half of Urashiki's body, severing his arm, which fell into the spatial tunnel.
"ARGH!" Urashiki cried out in pain, desperately using energy to repair himself. But Isshiki ignored him completely.
At that moment, Isshiki fixed his fierce gaze on Momoshiki, then grabbed the half-bodied Momoshiki!
"I'm sorry..."
"?"
Momoshiki froze, but in the next instant, his face changed dramatically.
"Hey, don't be crazy! We—"
"You need a lot of time and energy to recover, but that's exactly what we lack right now."
Isshiki's face was incredibly grim as he stared at Momoshiki and spoke softly.
"So, I apologize. At least my advancement might kill Minamoto. Becoming part of me, with our wills united, is better than that madman, isn't it?"
"!!!"
Momoshiki's eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets. He never expected this outcome, and Urashiki was equally stunned. Was Isshiki really going to do it? Right now?
"AAAAHHH!"
Without any hesitation, Isshiki viciously activated the "Sacrificial Pill Refinement." Amidst Momoshiki's anguished roars, his upper body was instantly churned by energy, transforming into a crimson "peach" that fell into Isshiki's hand.
"You—"
Such a familiar scene left Urashiki dumbfounded, while Isshiki, without a second thought, began to "feast" ravenously.
By the time they exited the spatial tunnel, Isshiki had completely devoured the "pill" formed from Momoshiki. His aura received a massive boost, the surging power so overwhelming that it shocked even the stunned Urashiki back to his senses.
"You both did it... you both actually did it..." Urashiki's mouth twitched uncontrollably, his heart filled with ice. Alongside this coldness came endless regret. Why hadn't he been the first to "act"?
"Indeed, such powerful energy. But the utilization rate is temporarily low. Once I fully absorb this energy, then..." Isshiki murmured, having now arrived near Kaguya.
Sasuke, Hashirama, and the recently recovered but still pale Madara watched the two of them. Naruto did the same, though his expression remained unusual, while Kitagawa Minamoto's Divine Tree clone strangely assessed Isshiki.
He wasn't concerned about Isshiki devouring Momoshiki—the energy wouldn't be lost. Once Isshiki was dealt with, that energy would still be his. He was merely impressed by Isshiki's ruthlessness, making such a choice at this critical moment.
"But he won't have time to fully absorb it. This kind of enhancement doesn't count. My main body can still handle it easily, and it's about time this ends..." Kitagawa Minamoto thought silently. Having endured until now, everything should indeed conclude.
His original purpose was to make the "Ninja world feel the pain from the Ōtsutsuki," which would also help "clear" Hagoromo's name. Of course, he was also thinking of himself—he needed to "clear" his own name too!
He had it all planned out; this matter must rely on Hagoromo. This was also "going with the flow"...
"You people..." Madara looked at Isshiki and Urashiki with hatred in his eyes. But before he could say anything, Hashirama stopped him, while Isshiki ignored Madara and looked up at Kaguya.
"Kaguya, it's been a long time!"
"..."
Kaguya remained silent, merely glancing at the battered Isshiki. This was truly the first time she had seen such a situation!
"The situation is extremely complicated. We'll settle our grudges later!" Isshiki continued, his cold gaze fixed on Kaguya as he spoke with some frustration.
"Our clan has produced a terrifying individual. His target is all of us!"
"Whether it's this world, or me, Momoshiki, Urashiki, or you—we'll all be devoured by him."
"That man has already consumed Urashiki and Momoshiki once. His power is unimaginable. We must join forces!"
"Otherwise, none of us will escape!"
Begging someone who had once ambushed him was incredibly painful for Isshiki. But now he truly had no choice. However, he didn't mention the "Plow." What he wanted was for Kaguya to hold off Ōtsutsuki Minamoto while he gave Urashiki a chance to activate the "Plow."
Perhaps... there might even be an opportunity to do something before using the "Plow" to escape, beating that madman Minamoto to it!
His words made Urashiki shiver as he looked over. This guy had the audacity to speak like this? Right now, Urashiki was truly terrified, with only one thought: get away from this place as quickly as possible!
If they didn't leave, there would be no chance at all...
"And you, people of the Ninja world..." Isshiki didn't care about anything else. He frantically absorbed the power within him, making himself stronger. Turning to Naruto and the others, he spoke in a low voice.
"Our positions may differ, but we face the same catastrophe!"
"You've seen Ōtsutsuki Minamoto's power. Not just us, but you too will die."
"Including the world you protect—none of it will be spared!"
"Hagoromo, you've schemed for a thousand years, waiting for this moment, haven't you?"
"When we're all dead, when your mother is devoured, what meaning will there be?!"
Isshiki's words made everyone look toward Hagoromo. Even Black Zetsu and Hamura turned in surprise. Their brother's reputation was known even to the Ōtsutsuki?
"..."
Hagoromo remained exceptionally silent. He couldn't understand how even the Ōtsutsuki believed such nonsense. And what exactly was Kitagawa Minamoto's ultimate plan?
Hum—
But he had no time to think further. "Ōtsutsuki Minamoto" had arrived in the sky. His gaze swept over those below, then he chuckled coldly.
"How interesting. You self-proclaimed superior beings now stand alongside the lower creatures you despise?"
"Life always seeks a way out. Someone like you, who disregards everything, will ultimately perish!" Isshiki gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Besides, don't you also disregard the lives of this world? In your eyes, aren't they just lower beings? Stop pretending!"
"Then what about Momoshiki?" Kitagawa Minamoto shrugged, laughing softly.
"I saw everything in that spatial rift clearly. Are you truly innocent?"
This question silenced Isshiki. He had already guessed that Kitagawa Minamoto could see into the spatial rift. The precision of his attacks was proof enough!
"But it doesn't matter," Kitagawa Minamoto continued, now smiling.
"Dealing with you isn't particularly difficult. Even if you've consumed Momoshiki, it makes little difference. To me..."
"Whether I'm cleaning one speck of dust or two, the difference is imperceptible to the naked eye—even for someone like you now."
These deeply humiliating words made Isshiki's eyes bulge with rage, but the silent Naruto suddenly looked up and spoke.
"So, for you, nothing matters?"
"Hm?" Kitagawa Minamoto paused, unsure of Naruto's meaning, but Naruto continued.
"Whether it's everything from the past, or anything else—it's all the same to you?"
"..."
Kitagawa Minamoto looked at Naruto with bewilderment. He had no idea what was going on with this kid. His Divine Tree clone also gave Hagoromo a strange look, who returned an equally confused expression.
Both sides fell into silence, clearly neither understanding what was happening.
"I understand. The Ninja world won't surrender so easily!" Naruto took a deep breath and shouted loudly. In that instant, several figures suddenly appeared beside him!
"This is..." Kitagawa Minamoto's expression turned strange. He saw Tobirama, Minato, Kakashi, and Might Guy—clearly brought by the Flying Thunder God Technique.
On the other side, among the Ninja Alliance, countless ninjas were rapidly mobilizing, seemingly ready to provide reinforcements at any moment.
Not only that, but several White Zetsu were undergoing transformations, as if souls were descending into them.
Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade had formed a team and were advancing quickly.
"The Ninja world will never give up. It never has, and we absolutely won't surrender easily!" Naruto roared, his body now enveloped in golden chakra, Truth-Seeking Orbs manifesting behind him.
Sasuke snorted coldly, purple lightning surrounding his body, his Rinnegan fixed on Kitagawa Minamoto in the sky.
"Quite spirited, I must say. This is beyond my expectations." Seeing this, Kitagawa Minamoto couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. But at that moment, Naruto suddenly turned to look at the Kitagawa Minamoto behind him.
He took a deep breath, then revealed a radiant smile.
"Minamoto."
"?"
"Let's end this together!"
