Seeing Otsutsuki Momoshiki laugh so arrogantly, Naruto said with a faint smile, "Sasuke, it looks like he still doesn't understand the situation he's in."
"Let's teach him a lesson together. Attack!"
Sasuke Uchiha curled his lips into a slight smile and nodded firmly. "Got it."
The moment he finished speaking, Sasuke shot toward Momoshiki.
Otsutsuki Kinshiki lunged forward and collided with Sasuke head-on.
Clang!
Their weapons crashed repeatedly, scattering sparks across the altar.
"So this is all the Otsutsuki are capable of."
Excitement filled Sasuke's face.
He had discovered that Kinshiki's attacks posed no threat to him whatsoever.
Kinshiki's eyes turned fierce at Sasuke's words, and his assault grew even more relentless.
At the same time, the weapon in his hand shifted continuously. Catching Sasuke off guard, he struck hard and knocked the Sword of Kusanagi from Sasuke's grasp.
"Die!"
Kinshiki transformed his treasured weapon into a massive axe and brought it down viciously on Sasuke's head.
But in the next instant, Sasuke vanished. A stone tablet appeared where he had been standing instead.
Boom!
The axe shattered the stone tablet into pieces, while Sasuke had already reclaimed the Sword of Kusanagi.
"Sasuke, be careful."
"If you get yourself killed, I'll laugh at you for the rest of your life."
Naruto's voice came from nearby. Sasuke gave a soft snort. "Don't worry. These moves were seen through by these eyes of mine long ago."
Seeing that Sasuke was unharmed, Naruto secretly sighed in relief before turning his attention to Momoshiki.
"Now... it's our turn."
The moment Naruto spoke, he disappeared from where he stood.
Momoshiki's pupils contracted as he immediately unleashed Five-Element Sage Techniques.
Lightning, flames, wind blades...
They all surged toward Naruto at once.
"Sage Art: Ultra-Big Ball Rasengan!"
Naruto neither dodged nor retreated. He formed an enormous Rasengan in his hand and forcibly dispersed Momoshiki's attacks.
Then, in an instant, he appeared before Momoshiki.
Yet Momoshiki showed no sign of panic. He raised his arm, and the crimson Rinnegan in his palm directly absorbed Naruto's attack completely.
Several chakra pills appeared in Momoshiki's hand, and he swallowed them all.
"I'll give it back to you."
Momoshiki sneered as he condensed a gigantic blood-red sphere of chakra in his hand.
Naruto was slightly surprised by the sight.
His opponent could even absorb Sage Techniques and turn them into chakra pills...
As the enormous chakra sphere came crashing down, a chakra cloak emerged around Naruto.
Ten thick tails wrapped around Momoshiki's attack and directly transported it into the Hyper-Distance Space.
"Naruto, don't go doing something so reckless..."
Seeing Naruto's move, Sasuke could not help complaining.
If Momoshiki's attack had not been successfully transferred just now, the entire Hodgepodge Strait might have been leveled.
"I know."
Naruto broke out in a cold sweat as well.
He had not expected Momoshiki to be able to absorb his Sage Art and return it with several times its original power.
After their first round of probing, Naruto and Sasuke both became much more cautious with their attacks.
For a time, the four of them remained locked in a stalemate.
However, as time passed, Momoshiki and Kinshiki gradually became more agitated.
Especially Momoshiki.
He had barely harvested any planets on his way here, and the number of chakra pills he had was extremely limited.
A prolonged battle of attrition was very unpleasant for him.
But the more anxious they became, the steadier Naruto and Sasuke grew.
In the end, the two of them shifted entirely into defense.
After a while, Naruto and Sasuke noticed that Momoshiki and Kinshiki had exhausted their tricks. They no longer concealed their strength and began to counterattack.
Momoshiki could absorb chakra and Sage Technique attacks, then amplify their power several times before returning them, so they would deal with him using taijutsu.
Kinshiki was formidable in taijutsu, and the treasured weapon in his hand could transform in countless ways, so they would use Sage Techniques to bombard him from range.
Having made their decision, Naruto and Sasuke immediately switched opponents and began fighting at full strength.
In an instant, Momoshiki and Kinshiki were firmly suppressed.
"Hahahaha... aren't you Otsutsuki a little too weak?"
"What a disappointment. I thought you might actually make this interesting."
While Momoshiki and Kinshiki struggled to keep up, Naruto and Sasuke were able to attack and taunt them at the same time.
Still, it was hardly surprising.
In the original story, Momoshiki and Kinshiki had not been a match for Naruto and Sasuke to begin with, let alone the Naruto and Sasuke of today.
Whether in strength or combat experience, Momoshiki and Kinshiki were far inferior.
Bang!
Bang!
Two dull impacts rang out as Momoshiki and Kinshiki were both sent flying, carving deep trenches into the ground.
When they got back on their feet, the arrogance and disdain on their faces had long vanished.
"Damn it! You two bastards!"
Momoshiki clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging around his eyes.
Since childhood, he had never suffered such humiliation.
To be reduced to such a sorry state by a lowly race he looked down upon was absolutely unforgivable!
Kinshiki, meanwhile, was half-kneeling on the ground and breathing heavily. He was clearly running out of stamina.
In his heart, he had already begun to regard Naruto and Sasuke as true opponents.
Seeing the two Otsutsuki in such a miserable state, Naruto and Sasuke slowly walked forward.
"State your names. I don't kill nameless nobodies."
"..."
"It doesn't matter if you won't talk. Once we capture you, we'll have plenty of time for a nice, long conversation."
Hearing Naruto and Sasuke's words, a trace of madness appeared in Momoshiki's eyes.
"You two... think you've already won?"
"Dream on!"
After saying that, Momoshiki glanced at Kinshiki and barked, "Kinshiki!"
Kinshiki gritted his teeth. "I understand, Lord Momoshiki!"
He planted his treasured weapon into the ground, and his massive, muscular body began to curl into itself.
In only a moment, he transformed into a gigantic crimson fruit.
Momoshiki picked up the fruit Kinshiki had become and laughed loudly.
"Next, I'll show you the consequences of offending the Otsutsuki Clan."
"The entire Shinobi World will be buried alongside you!"
