Chapter 209 – Ōtsutsuki Clan in Uproar, Storm Brews in the Stars
Yes.
Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo had been confident—arrogantly so. He was the Sage of Six Paths, the originator of chakra and the first Ten-Tails Jinchūriki.
But after witnessing Ōtsutsuki Urashiki's brutal death—instantly erased by Uchiha Yuta—even he and his younger brother Ōtsutsuki Hamura couldn't help but feel chills coursing down their spine.
They knew how powerful Urashiki was.
They'd seen his arsenal with their own eyes:
A Golden Rinnegan,
A Six-Tomoe Rinnegan in both eyes,
And a pure-blooded Byakugan.
Even if he couldn't win against Uchiha Yuta, surely he could escape.
But he didn't.
Instead, he was annihilated—his eyes shattered, his soul extinguished. All his dōjutsu were absorbed, and not even the Ōtsutsuki clan's secret Wedge Mark could trigger reincarnation.
Watching it happen sent a wave of silent terror through both brothers.
Uchiha Yuta, now the Ten-Tails Jinchūriki, had ascended to a power that neither Hamura nor Hagoromo had ever witnessed before.
---
> "...We underestimated him," Hamura muttered, his voice hoarse.
Even Hagoromo, who moments ago raged with divine pride, could no longer deny the truth. His anger faded into grim silence.
If they revealed themselves now…
If the spatial veil they hid behind cracked even slightly…
Uchiha Yuta would sense them—and end them.
> "Breathe…"
Hamura exhaled, relieved that his brother's emotions had cooled. They would endure. For now.
---
But deep in Hagoromo's heart, a single flame still flickered.
> "One day," he growled under his breath, "Uchiha Yuta will pay the price. I swear it."
Hamura nodded quickly, seizing the moment.
> "The Ōtsutsuki clan won't stay silent. Urashiki and Kinshiki were only the first. Their deaths have stirred the beehive. The full weight of the clan will descend upon him."
That thought finally brought some composure to Hagoromo's features.
---
Meanwhile, in the Ōtsutsuki Clan's Domain...
A storm of rage swept through the Ōtsutsuki homeland.
In an instant, after Urashiki and Kinshiki's life signatures vanished, the entire dimension was shaken as though by a magnitude 13 quake. It was incomprehensible.
How could two powerful celestial hunters be wiped out?
Even if Kaguya Ōtsutsuki had grown stronger since her exile, she shouldn't have been able to overpower both Urashiki and Kinshiki—let alone prevent their escape.
---
> "Impossible! How did Kaguya become so audacious?"
> "They didn't even use their Wedge Seals... It's as if they didn't have a chance!"
> "The Earth must be purged! Kaguya must die for this treachery!"
> "The dignity of the Ōtsutsuki clan is sacred. She must be made an example!"
In the celestial conference chamber, voices boomed like thunder.
Every Elder's face was contorted in disbelief and outrage.
---
At the heart of it all sat Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki, silent but burning inside.
It was his decision to send Kinshiki and Urashiki to Earth. He had thought the task beneath him.
> "They were more than enough to handle Kaguya," he had told himself.
But now… they were dead.
Slain. Erased.
Not even a Wedge remained.
The sting of failure was nothing compared to the shame Momoshiki now carried.
---
> SLAM!
A senior Elder rose from his seat, fury in his eyes.
> "Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki! Explain yourself!"
> "Why didn't you descend with them? Was the task not worth your presence?"
Another Elder followed suit.
> "We've lost two bloodline elites! This is no minor offense! You must answer for it!"
More voices piled on.
> "Why is Kaguya alive?"
"Why is Earth still untouched?"
"What happened to Urashiki's golden Rinnegan?!"
The room turned hostile. Accusatory eyes locked on Momoshiki from all sides.
---
And the worst part?
They all believed Kaguya Ōtsutsuki was the one responsible.
Not one of them had yet realized the truth—that the one who ended Urashiki and Kinshiki was not Kaguya…
…but a mortal from Earth.
A man named Uchiha Yuta, the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure.
---
Momoshiki clenched his fists beneath the table.
> "You think it was Kaguya?"
He didn't correct them. Not yet.
Let them burn in rage.
Let their pride blind them.
Soon, they would know the real enemy.
And then?
Then he would show them what a true celestial god could do.
