Chapter 242 - Chapter 243: Momoshiki's Regret and the Sudden Wedding

The memories brought by the Truth-Seeking Ball naturally informed Neji of Momoshiki's ability to turn people into Chakra fruits and devour them. To avoid trouble, it was clearly better to eliminate Urashiki and Kinshiki first.

Without Urashiki and Kinshiki, Momoshiki was useless except for absorbing Chakra and reflecting it amplified. Since he knew the opponent could absorb Ninjutsu, fighting with taijutsu was the obvious choice. In fact, Momoshiki couldn't even defeat a fully powered Nine-Tails Susano'o in his current state.

Momoshiki naturally understood this too. The power wielded by mortals on this planet could already threaten royalty, and it was beyond his ability to handle. Already sensing trouble, he now only wanted to escape back to his homeland and then return with reinforcements to crush this place.

However, before he could act, a fist slammed into his stomach. Heavily struck, Momoshiki instantly spat out a large mouthful of blood, feeling as though his internal organs were being shattered. This poor BOSS was nearly incapacitated before he could even make a move.

"Damn it! How could this happen?"

Momoshiki looked at the large indentation on his stomach. Even with his special constitution, he couldn't recover quickly. The immense pressure Neji exerted made him wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

"In Urashiki's memories, your Byakugan can see others' destinies. But have you seen your own?"

Neji chuckled and walked through the air. Although he appeared gentle, the sharp blade made of Truth-Seeking Balls that had somehow appeared in his hand sent a shiver down one's spine.

With Neji's power, creating Truth-Seeking Balls was like child's play. Crafting a large blade would be no challenge for him.

"Damn it!"

Momoshiki gritted his teeth. Just as Neji learned from Urashiki's memories, only the three of them knew about Kaguya's situation. For this reason, Neji would definitely not let him go.

"Mortal, you have truly angered me!"

Knowing his demise was imminent, Momoshiki took out a large number of pills and swallowed them recklessly. Instantly, his injuries began to heal at a visible rate.

"Is this your pills? Using these to boost your power?" Neji shook his head disdainfully, looking at Momoshiki cherishing these pills. Such power was merely child's play in his eyes.

"It's all over."

Not wishing to waste any more time, Neji transformed into purple lightning and instantly appeared before Momoshiki. The Truth-Seeking Ball blade in his hand pierced Momoshiki's chest, and his Gentle Fist, imbued with immense power, struck directly at his internal organs.

Before long, Momoshiki was awkwardly dangled in the air by Neji. He could no longer even float; his internal organs were already a complete mess, like stirring mud.

"As long as you die, your side's clues about Kaguya will be completely severed. Therefore, I am grateful you came here, giving me the opportunity to end this once and for all." Neji ignited fierce flames in his hand, which spread along the Truth-Seeking Ball blade and covered Momoshiki.

"Even if I die, I'll take you all with me!"

When Momoshiki saw Neji attack him with Ninjutsu, he initially thought he could absorb the flames and counter-attack. However, reality played a cruel trick on him. He was now limp like a slippery eel. His right Rinnegan, let alone being activated, could barely be lifted. Helpless, he had no choice but to use himself as a medium to perform his last move.

Inflated Truth-Seeking Ball!

A terrifying Truth-Seeking Ball, about one or two times larger than the previous Tailed Beast Bomb, obscured the sky and slowly descended towards the ground.

"This Truth-Seeking Ball is not bad."

As the terrifying pressure slowly descended, Neji's lips curved into a slight smile. Without him doing anything, a massive spatial rift appeared beneath the Truth-Seeking Ball, swallowing it.

"Next time you meet some insolent fool, just smash them with this Truth-Seeking Ball."

Momoshiki never imagined that the inflated Truth-Seeking Ball he summoned at the cost of his life would end up benefiting Neji. If he had known, he would have probably come back to life in anger.

How inhumane!

"So what were these people even here for?"

Even after Neji's fight, no one knew what these people were truly after. The three of Momoshiki, unsurprisingly, became the least impactful bosses in this story.

...

One year later

Today, the entire ninja world was adorned with lanterns and festive decorations. Why?

Because the great hero who stopped the Fourth Great Ninja War, Hyuga Neji, was getting married. The brides were numerous, and some were even underage (20 years old). This was naturally strange, yet no one said anything. For the hero of the ninja world, the father of the Sage of Six Paths, people felt it was quite normal.

After all, those who are capable should shoulder more burdens, and no one ever said this world only allowed one wife.

Still in Konoha, at the large wedding venue filled with cherry blossoms. For such an important occasion, countries from all over the ninja world naturally sent representatives to offer congratulations.

Gaara naturally went to find Naruto. Rasa, who was always serious, also grinned today, patting Neji's shoulder and laughing heartily, saying things like, "I entrust my daughter to you."

"Is it Temari??"

This made Neji a bit awkward. To be honest, he only learned about the wedding yesterday, and he still didn't know who any of the brides were.

The groom who didn't even know about his own wedding felt too embarrassed to look up.

But more than that, he wanted to know how he and Temari had ended up like this.

As a groom who entered the venue utterly bewildered and received blessings just as bewilderingly, his ability to stand here was a testament to his strong psychological fortitude.

"You brat, you quietly poach three of my subordinates. Well done!"

A with the Third Raikage and Killer Bee among them arrived at the wedding venue. Although tears flowed as roughly as a river from his eyes, and he clenched his fist as if wanting to strike him, he spoke words of blessing. This contradictory way of expressing himself was truly difficult for him.

However, his words served as a warning to Neji. Without even thinking, three women in white wedding dresses suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Neji, uh… I really can't do it."

Chojuro looked at this man who had taken away the Fifth Mizukage and the former Kage's guards with a very complicated feeling. He too had only learned recently that Kirigakure had been controlled by Neji. Although Neji hadn't done anything wrong, there was always a faint sadness in his heart.

After the Fourth Mizukage, had the Fifth Mizukage also followed in the old path? The hardships of Kirigakure were chilling to think about.

"Oh, is that so? I understand." Neji was beyond words. Fortunately, his heart had gone numb. At this point, it was difficult for his feelings to be stirred.
