"Feeling the chakra consumed by his own body, Kaoru felt a bit surprised. Although this amount of chakra consumption was negligible to him, who had absorbed the Dragon Vein, it was actually equivalent to the total chakra of a Kage-level ninja. The consumption was quite significant. He recalled that traveling to Obito's space-time dimension had almost negligible chakra consumption…
"This space looks somewhat familiar, but is it really the moon…" Kaoru looked up at the sky and found it completely dark, with no stars visible. The moon was completely gone.
"Judging by this, this place is at least not on Earth…" Kaoru thought to himself, gazing at the pitch-black sky.
"However… this world seems to consist only of ice and snow… there's nothing else…"
Putting his thoughts aside, Kaoru began to carefully examine the world around him. It seemed that apart from the falling snow, there was nothing else in sight.
"Let's go forward and take a look. If this is truly the moon, it shouldn't be this monotonous…"
With this thought in mind, Kaoru activated the power of the Judgment Angel, and his entire body shot up from the snowy ground, flying towards the sky.
"Just snow and more snow… it really seems like there's nothing else…"
Gazing down at the desolate, cold wind mixed with snowflakes from high in the sky, Kaoru pushed his Mangekyō Sharingan's vision to its limit, scanning the ground below.
After a few more minutes, Kaoru's Mangekyō Sharingan suddenly spotted what appeared to be a palace-like structure in the distance on the snowy plains.
"Finally, a discovery…"
After noticing this one difference in the world, Kaoru flew directly towards the castle-like palace.
About a few minutes later, Kaoru finally descended slowly from the sky, arriving before the structure that looked like both a castle and a palace.
The palace before him was almost entirely covered in ice and snow. The entrance, which should have been luxurious and grand, now appeared to be in ruins, suggesting it had a long history.
With a slight desire to investigate, Kaoru slowly walked into the castle-palace. He passed through a dark and long main hall, with gray stone pillars on either side, looking severely corroded.
Gently reaching the depths of the main hall, Kaoru saw a dilapidated statue standing before him. It was carved with the likeness of a beautiful woman, with a third eye prominently embedded on her forehead. She wore a loose white robe, her gaze fixed forward as if pitying all living beings.
"This is… a statue of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki…"
Kaoru muttered to himself, a hint of doubt surfacing in his mind. This shouldn't be right. Logically, the moon was inhabited by the descendants of Hamura Ōtsutsuki. Even if a statue were erected, it should be of Hamura, not Kaguya, who was sealed by his own ancestor, Hamura, and the Sage of Six Paths. The descendants of Hamura wouldn't be so foolish as to erect a statue for someone their ancestor sealed…
Just as Kaoru was lost in thought, gazing at the statue of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, a strange voice echoed in this space that seemed to contain no other living beings besides him.
"To think someone could reach this place. Who exactly are you…"
The voice, coming from behind Kaoru, was deep and resonant, carrying a hint of surprise and confusion.
"There's someone in this place? Is it Toneri Ōtsutsuki? But this voice doesn't sound like him…" Kaoru's confusion deepened. He slowly turned around, directing his gaze towards the source of the voice.
The figure standing behind him could be described as a small giant. He had grayish-white hair, pale skin, a pair of pure white eyes, and a "huge" physique. He wore rough, light-colored clothing, and on his forehead, he had a white marking similar to the forehead protector worn by Uchiha Madara in his Sage Mode.
"This guy is… Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki?!"
The moment Kaoru recognized the person, he identified his identity!
However, this also made Kaoru suddenly realize. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki shouldn't be on the moon. This meant… this place wasn't the moon at all, but Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's frozen dimension!
In the original story, Sasuke, who had awakened the Rinnegan, had also visited this dimension and… encountered Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki here. Now, it seemed he had stumbled into this space by chance and encountered Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki!
"I originally intended to deal with Toneri Ōtsutsuki, but I didn't expect to end up in a different dimension…" Kaoru frowned inwardly. He then ignored the equally surprised Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki and immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan to search for Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's whereabouts.
After searching, Kaoru was certain that besides himself and Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, there was no one else in the vicinity of the snowy plains.
"It seems Momoshiki isn't around here…" Kaoru thought to himself.
"Hey, kid, you still haven't answered my question…" The deep, resonant voice sounded again. Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki stared at Kaoru, his brows filled with dissatisfaction.
He and his creator, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, had often used this space as a transit point to travel between various worlds over countless years. In this space-time dimension, originally belonging to Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, this was the first time they had encountered a stranger like today.
"My apologies… It seems I've gotten lost…" Kaoru said, rubbing his head with a smile.
"Lost? I'm absolutely certain that only Momoshiki-sama and I exist in this space. How did you get here?!" Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki roared, almost shouting.
"Don't be so agitated. I'm just a traveler passing through…" Kaoru spread his hands casually, looking at Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki before him and saying nonchalantly.
"It seems you're unwilling to tell the truth, kid… Then I'll show you a little of my power. Let's see if you'll tell the truth then!!!"
As he spoke, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, this burly figure before Kaoru, attacked without a word. Upon hearing Kaoru's words, he immediately activated the chakra within his body and vanished from his spot!
"This speed…"
Seeing the flash before his eyes and instantly losing sight of Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, Kaoru's pupils contracted slightly. It was hard to imagine someone with such a massive physique moving so swiftly.
Boom!!!
In less than a second, Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki suddenly appeared in front of Kaoru, unleashing an indescribable storm as he punched towards Kaoru.
Kaoru reacted instinctively. He ducked low, evading the incredibly powerful punch. Then, he leaped up, his hands infused with chakra, and slammed them fiercely onto Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's back!
Boom!!!
Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's massive body was actually forced down to the ground by Kaoru's palms, sinking halfway into the earth. Kaoru, using this reaction force as a springboard, leaped backward and landed safely on the ground.
After landing steadily, he instinctively looked towards where Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki had fallen. Kaoru then suddenly realized that Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, who had been embedded in the ground, had disappeared!
"Mmm?"
Noticing this, Kaoru, seasoned in battle, reacted instantly. He raised his hand forward, and an indescribably immense force pushed him back. Kaoru was sent flying backward by the sheer inertia, sliding dozens of meters before coming to a stop!
"Such immense power…" After blocking Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's punch with his hand, Kaoru slid for at least dozens of meters before stopping.
