Chapter 210 – Hidden Threats and a Brewing Rebellion
The message was clear:
Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki had to give an explanation.
Otherwise, there would be consequences—severe ones.
The mood within the Ōtsutsuki Clan's council chamber was on edge. The elders weren't just angry. They were humiliated.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya had once been entrusted with a divine mission—sent alongside Ōtsutsuki Isshiki to Earth to plant the God Tree, nurture the Chakra Fruit, and return it to the clan's higher council.
But what happened?
She betrayed them.
She ambushed Isshiki, consumed the fruit herself, and then used her vast chakra to shift Earth's position within the galaxy, making it virtually untraceable. The clan's search had continued for millennia with only fragments of intel and fleeting spatial signatures. Nothing substantial.
Now, after Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki had finally located Earth and dispatched Ōtsutsuki Kinshiki and Ōtsutsuki Urashiki… both of them had died.
Instantly.
Without even activating their Wedge Seals to revive themselves.
That blow had struck the clan hard.
The elders, infuriated and deeply unsettled, began projecting all of their rage onto Momoshiki. If he didn't explain, they would make him pay.
---
> "This is… absurd."
Momoshiki clenched his fists, trying to calm the storm raging in his mind.
He never imagined Kinshiki and Urashiki would fall so quickly.
Even if they couldn't defeat Kaguya, they should've escaped. With their power—Kinshiki's physical might and Urashiki's versatile dōjutsu—they should have retreated at the first sign of danger.
But they hadn't.
And now they were gone.
---
Suddenly, Momoshiki's thoughts sharpened.
> "Wait a minute... What if it wasn't Kaguya?"
A terrifying realization dawned on him.
If someone else on Earth was capable of killing both Kinshiki and Urashiki…
That someone had to be stronger than both.
And that was even more dangerous.
---
But before he could speak—
> "Ōtsutsuki Momoshiki! You owe us an explanation!"
> "Kaguya has spat in the face of the clan once again!"
> "Are you protecting her?! Or are you simply incompetent?!"
The council erupted again, voices booming with disdain.
---
> BOOM!!
Momoshiki slammed his hand against the conference table.
> "Enough!"
The chamber fell into dead silence.
Every elder froze, stunned.
No one had spoken to them like that in centuries.
Was Momoshiki… rebelling?
---
> "Do you think I wanted this outcome?" Momoshiki growled, his crimson Rinnegan glowing faintly.
"Yes, Kinshiki and Urashiki are dead. But the assumption that Kaguya was responsible is foolish."
He swept his gaze across the silent hall.
> "If Kaguya had the strength to kill both of them, she wouldn't be hiding on Earth like a rat for a thousand years."
A beat of silence.
> "You've all overlooked one thing," he continued. "What if… there's another force on Earth—one we never anticipated?"
---
The elders faltered.
The possibility hadn't occurred to them, but now that it had been voiced, it made sense.
Ōtsutsuki Kaguya was strong—but not that strong.
Even with the Chakra Fruit, defeating both Kinshiki and Urashiki, who had Wedges and access to celestial power, should have been impossible.
Unless… someone even more powerful had intervened.
> "You… you mean it wasn't Kaguya?" one elder asked, frowning.
> "Who else could possibly be stronger than Kinshiki or Urashiki?"
> "Earth is a backwater world!"
---
Momoshiki sneered.
> "A backwater world... that just erased two elite Ōtsutsuki before they could even react?"
He didn't speak the name aloud, but in his heart, one figure stood at the center of this storm:
Uchiha Yuta — the Fifth Hokage of Konohagakure.
The one who had become Jinchūriki of the Ten-Tails, crushed two Ōtsutsuki, and absorbed their dōjutsu like they were nothing.
A true monster who had reached—or surpassed—the realm of the divine.
---
The elders of the Ōtsutsuki clan sat in stunned silence.
The implications were terrifying.
If there was indeed another divine-level threat on Earth, then their approach would need to change entirely. A full-force invasion might no longer be viable.
And the worst part?
They had no idea what else this "Fifth Hokage" was capable of.
