Chapter 550: Chapter 550: Activate Transformation State
Kinshiki's voice boomed.
Instantly, an intensely bright light filled the scene.
"You intend to devour and grow stronger? Did you even consider asking my permission?"
Without hesitation, Sasuke acted, unleashing several Truth-Seeking Orbs in a flash. They hurtled directly towards Kinshiki, slamming into the ground with explosive force, instantly creating massive craters.
The Truth-Seeking Orbs, crackling with lightning chakra, tore through the forest Naruto had conjured, leaving two desolate, vacuum-like paths in their wake.
Kinshiki was caught off guard by the sudden barrage. Flames engulfed his entire body.
Yet, moments after the explosion, Kinshiki reappeared some distance away, rocketing through the air towards Momoshiki. A red energy weapon hovered protectively at his side.
"Lord Momoshiki!"
Hearing Kinshiki's bellow, Momoshiki finally emerged, leaping from the trees. With a swift gesture, he activated his Universal Pull, accelerating Kinshiki's flight even further.
Just then, Sasuke materialized, his blade aimed directly at Kinshiki. Unfortunately, the strike connected with the red energy weapon instead. The purple energy of Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword clashed against the red light, generating a shockwave that expanded outward with tremendous power.
In that instant, Sasuke was thrown back, while Kinshiki fell into Momoshiki's grasp.
To the astonishment of all the assembled shinobi, Kinshiki transformed into a Chakra Fruit.
"Lord Momoshiki, please, do not hesitate. Devour me, inherit my power, and become an even greater Ōtsutsuki!"
Momoshiki gazed at the Chakra Fruit in his hand. "Don't fret, Kinshiki. I won't hesitate. Because I am determined to obliterate these two... pathetic creatures!"
"An inferior, wretched, and despicable race dares to challenge me? I am... a noble Ōtsutsuki!"
With that, Momoshiki swallowed the Chakra Fruit in one gulp.
The moment he devoured Kinshiki, an overwhelming surge of power erupted.
A terrifying wave of chakra ripped through the area, flattening all the trees in its path. When the storm subsided, a completely transformed Momoshiki stood before them.
He had entered a new state his Byakugan had turned golden, resembling the Tenseigan, and a golden Rinnegan had manifested on his forehead.
His aura had amplified exponentially, far surpassing his previous strength. The sheer intensity of his chakra was suffocating.
"Hahaha! Now, you pathetic creatures... will all... die!"
With a roar, Momoshiki raised his hand and unleashed a devastating repulsive force. In an instant, all the trees within a kilometer radius were annihilated, leaving behind a vast, barren plain.
Sasuke and Naruto reappeared only after the shockwave had dissipated. Naruto's eyes narrowed in confusion as he stared at the transformed Momoshiki.
"He actually ate his own comrade to gain power?"
"The bond between a guardian and their charge is like this. To protect the one they guard, the guardian must be willing to sacrifice themselves at any moment," Sasuke stated calmly.
Naruto was momentarily taken aback. If that was the case, then Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Ōtsutsuki Isshiki must have shared a similar relationship, though it was unclear who held which role.
Meanwhile, Momoshiki glared at Sasuke and Naruto.
"You two insignificant lower beings, I'll show you the true might of an Ōtsutsuki!"
With a wave of his hand, Momoshiki hurled the red energy weapon towards Sasuke and Naruto. It streaked towards them with incredible speed.
Sasuke flicked his Kusanagi Sword, deflecting the red energy weapon with ease. Seeing his attack so easily countered, Momoshiki's gaze fixed on the sword in Sasuke's hand.
"That's... Ōtsutsuki chakra! He's infused it into his weapon? This lowly creature dares to wield Ōtsutsuki chakra like this?"
As Momoshiki's anger flared, Naruto suddenly appeared directly in front of him. It wasn't a matter of speed it was instantaneous movement.
Naruto launched an attack, but Momoshiki reacted just in time. The first punch missed, but Momoshiki countered with a kick. Naruto dodged and retaliated with a powerful elbow strike, sending Momoshiki flying backward.
However, Momoshiki halted mid-air, a look of disdain etched on his face.
"My body is now impervious to harm. Your taijutsu is useless against me!"
Naruto's expression turned grim. The force of his earlier strike had been considerable, yet Momoshiki had shown no reaction. This meant that relying solely on taijutsu was futile. But if they resorted to ninjutsu, Momoshiki could simply absorb their chakra. This was a dire situation.
"Naruto, this guy's getting arrogant. He thinks devouring his comrade makes him invincible. Let's get serious," Sasuke said.
The other shinobi were still reeling from the terrifying power Momoshiki had unleashed after his transformation. Yet, Sasuke's words implied that neither he nor Naruto had been fighting at their full strength until now.
Naruto chuckled. "Guess we have no choice. It's been a while since we've gone all out. Let's see if this guy's strong enough to handle both of us at once!"
With that, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a knowing smile.
"Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, you think you're the only one who can transform? Transformation isn't your exclusive ability!"
As Naruto spoke, a golden chakra aura erupted around him. The combined chakra of all nine Tailed Beasts surged forth, merging with Naruto's Sage Mode.
Tailed Beast Sage Mode activated!
Nine Truth-Seeking Orbs floated behind Naruto. His appearance had shifted his clothes now shimmered with a golden-red chakra glow, and a halo of chakra energy radiated around him. His Rinnegan manifested, his purple eyes blazing with power.
At this moment, all the shinobi of the Leaf Village were utterly stunned.
"Is this... the Hokage's true battle form?"
"The Rinnegan... That's the legendary Rinnegan! The Hokage possesses such an eye!"
While everyone was in awe of Naruto's transformation, a burst of purple light erupted from Sasuke's position.
Sasuke's Purple Light Sage Mode activated!
This unique form, combining Purple Light Chakra with Sage Mode, significantly amplified his chakra's power. The Purple Light Chakra could be shaped into any form for attack, though the drawback was that Sasuke had to condense the chakra before utilizing other ninjutsu.
A purple aura enveloped Sasuke, and behind him, colossal purple serpents materialized. Similar to Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode, Sasuke's body radiated a purple-white chakra glow. His eyes had morphed into the intricate pattern of the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Nine Truth-Seeking Orbs floated calmly behind him.
"You think you're the only one who can transform, Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki?" Sasuke declared.
The stage was set for an epic battle.
