Chapter 241 - Chapter 242: Momoshiki, Scared Stiff

"Momoshiki, Kinshiki, Urashiki... I can't believe it's you..."

The moment she saw them, even Kaguya felt a sense of powerlessness. The reason she'd asked Hagoromo and Hamura to seal her back then wasn't just to protect the ninja world, but also to cut off the Divine Tree's aura, hoping to avoid these people coming from their 'homeland'. She never expected to still be discovered.

After devouring the Divine Tree's fruit and completely absorbing the Divine Tree, her strength had surpassed that of their kingdom's royal family, yet even so, she felt a deep, innate fear of the three in front of her.

This was because Momoshiki was the only one in their clan who had obtained the royal family's ability, the power to gain strength by consuming his own kind.

"Princess Kaguya, what is going on? I can clearly sense your bloodline in those people, and there's a strong Divine Tree aura within you. Did you devour the Divine Tree and the Chakra fruit?!"

Otsutsuki Momoshiki looked down at Hinata, Hanabi, and Hiashi, a flicker of anger in his eyes. He never imagined Kaguya would marry a mortal.

What was even more unacceptable to him was that Kaguya had not only swallowed the Chakra fruit but also the entire Divine Tree. Every Divine Tree was created at an unimaginable cost by their kingdom, and losing one now felt like the sky was about to collapse.

"Lord Momoshiki, what do we do?"

"There's nothing we can do. For now, we can only recondense all the Chakra into one. But the mortals will all be sacrifices for the Divine Tree!!"

Momoshiki said angrily, and a dark red Tailed Beast Bomb, far larger than that of the Ten-Tails, quickly gathered in his hand. Its size was so immense it covered nearly half of Konoha. This terrifying Tailed Beast Bomb alone delivered a powerful visual impact.

"What do you think you're doing in Konoha, you guy!!"

Naruto and Minato had already found their companions and quickly arrived using the Flying Thunder God. Both in their Nine-Tails Susano'o armor, exuding an imposing aura, they immediately swung their Susano'o blades towards Momoshiki.

"We won't let you interfere with Lord Momoshiki."

A chubby man beside Momoshiki immediately stepped in front of the two Nine-Tails. Despite his plumpness, his movements were surprisingly agile. From the ring on his back, he conjured various Chakra weapons and attacked Naruto and the others.

"Oh? I didn't expect these two to have part of the Divine Tree's Chakra too. This is a pleasant surprise." Otsutsuki Urashiki watched with interest, holding his fishing rod, but he had no intention of intervening.

"Die, mortal!!"

Just then, Momoshiki finally finished condensing the Tailed Beast Bomb. Terrifying Chakra was concentrated within this massive orb, causing the air itself to vibrate. If it fell, it was likely that the area within a ten-li radius of Konoha would be rendered barren.

"You guys barging in and causing trouble while we're having a party in my yard is quite disrespectful to me as the host."

Before the Tailed Beast Bomb could fall, someone lifted it and returned it to the sky. At the same time, a handsome young man slowly entered their sight.

"How is this possible?!"

Urashiki stared in shock as Neji single-handedly lifted the Tailed Beast Bomb upwards. Catching Momoshiki's attack with his bare hands was something very few people could achieve even in their entire country, let alone with such ease.

"Byakugan, is he also Kaguya's descendant? His strength is quite good." Momoshiki's eyes showed a hint of interest as he watched, but he quickly shook his head. "Unfortunately, you're still not quite there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Tailed Beast Bomb in Neji's hand suddenly became heavy. Without any warning, it exploded with a deafening roar. The space itself seemed to be on the verge of collapsing under the force.

The resulting gale roared loudly, like sharp blades incessantly tearing through the air. It was only under Kaguya's protection that these wind blades did not damage Konoha's buildings.

Minato and Naruto had used the Flying Thunder God to evade the Tailed Beast Bomb the moment it exploded. However, even so, a large portion of their Nine-Tails Susano'o armor was blown off.

"Looks like a tremendous battle has occurred, Fourth Hokage."

This terrifying Chakra and explosion naturally drew the attention of the other Kage. They hadn't expected to arrive midway and see two severely damaged Nine-Tails lying there. After a brief explanation of the situation, they learned about the enemies' origin and power.

"The Otsutsuki clan? Hmph, Fourth Hokage, you were too hasty. Have you forgotten Neji's strength? Daring to make a move against Neji... I'm more curious about how these three will die than Neji." Tobirama sneered.

As if to confirm his words, a violent whirlwind surged, blowing away all the black smoke from the explosion.

"Is this your strength? If it's only this, then I'm rather disappointed."

"Not a scratch..."

Momoshiki and the other two watched Neji slowly walk out of the black smoke, his robes completely undamaged. Their brows furrowed. Although they marveled at his strength, they, who considered themselves superior, still looked down on Neji.

"Your condescending expressions are truly irritating. Since you think I'm not worthy of being your opponent, I'll just kill you quickly."

Neji said fiercely. The moment his voice fell, he appeared beside Urashiki. His Byakugan eyes flared, and before Urashiki could even react, he froze in place.

Byakugan: Pressure!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Seeing Neji reach into Urashiki's chest, Kinshiki immediately brought down a large axe towards Neji. Simultaneously, numerous weapons shot from behind him, all attacking Neji.

"Are you that eager to die?"

Neji had no intention of dodging Kinshiki's attack. The instant Kinshiki arrived, his eyes turned blood red. The moment the Rinne Sharingan appeared, an unprecedented repulsive force sent Kinshiki's weapon flying, and as Kinshiki flew backward, Neji grabbed him by the head.

"So that's how it is. Only the three of you knew about Kaguya's situation here, right." Neji's hand emerged from Urashiki's chest, a soft, shimmering green light fragmenting and entering his mind.

Mental Sphere!

"Meaning, if I kill you all here, there won't be any more pursuers, right?"

Neji held Kinshiki's head in one hand and grabbed Urashiki by the neck with the other, looking at Momoshiki in the distance with a cold smile.

"I said I would kill you all."

Before Momoshiki could utter any threatening words, Neji tightened his grip slightly. The terrifying force directly shattered the two of them into mist.

"Mortal, you!"

In an instant, Urashiki and Kinshiki's deaths brought immense psychological shock to Momoshiki. However, more than that, he was already considering how to retreat.
