To put it simply, Urashiki's analysis wasn't just accurate—it was extremely sound.
That's why, even before descending upon the Shinobi World, he had already traveled to the moon and sealed away the Ōtsutsuki Toneri.
However, what they didn't realize was that the Sage of Six Paths and his brother had already reached the level Urashiki estimated—over a thousand years ago.
Their thinking was far too simplistic. They believed that by eliminating Toneri, they had removed all remaining threats from the Shinobi World.
What they didn't account for was that, even though the Shinobi World—once the dwelling place of countless deities—had been ravaged by war and left in ruins, it still retained many remnants of ancient cultivation methods.
The Sage of Six Paths had already ascended to the level of a Heavenly Shinobi through the path of Sagehood—an existence far beyond what these younger Ōtsutsuki could ever handle.
They couldn't even detect or investigate local powerhouses like the Great Toad Sage or the White Snake Sage.
This is the arrogance of the Ōtsutsuki clan—one of the most powerful races in the cosmos—looking down on the native inhabitants of the Shinobi World!
...
Three Ōtsutsuki descended into the headquarters of the Kara Organization, forming a triangular formation to surround the vessel of Isshiki's parasitic possession—Jigen—as well as Kawaki and the members of Team Boruto, all hosts of various divine abilities.
"Record it!"
Ōtsutsuki Urashiki pulled out a dimmed Rinnegan from his fishing basket, its power mostly drained. It was a trophy he'd taken during a past expedition, after hunting down a half-blooded Ōtsutsuki left behind.
After extracting a massive amount of power from it, he repurposed it as a recording device—capturing all of Isshiki's transgressions in both audio and video formats.
Now, the three newly arrived Ōtsutsuki didn't even bother to conceal their discussion of how to deal with Isshiki—even with Boruto and Jigen standing right there.
After all, to them, the natives were nothing more than slightly intelligent livestock.
Jigen, who carried Isshiki's parasitic form, was a condemned criminal with no chance of escaping his fate.
As for Kawaki and the other experimental subjects—they were nothing more than abominations created by Isshiki's blasphemous attempt to defile the divine lineage of the Ōtsutsuki...
After some deliberation, the three decided to eliminate Isshiki first. Not only had he betrayed the clan, but he had also attempted to decipher the power of the Ōtsutsuki God—something only the clan patriarch had the right to touch.
What's more, Isshiki was the only one among them with the potential to resist. To prevent any complications, he had to be taken out first.
"I'll do it."
Momoshiki stepped forward voluntarily. Behind him, Kinshiki—his battle-hardened guardian—nodded in agreement, signaling that he would prevent Isshiki from escaping.
Urashiki, on the other hand, declared that he would not involve himself in the fight. Instead, he was heading off to capture Mitsuki—who held a unique power within Team Boruto—as well as Isshiki's experimental subjects.
Though Isshiki had once become a true god and was fundamentally different from the current Ōtsutsuki trio, he was now gravely wounded and could only survive by parasitizing a native host.
In terms of life hierarchy, he was now beneath the three who had descended.
As for Momoshiki, he was a direct descendant of the main family—the clan's chosen prodigy—and trained to possess power capable of surpassing his rank.
Momoshiki approached Jigen.
The two exchanged a barrage of hostile words, but Isshiki refused to respond with battle.
Seeing this, Momoshiki raised his hand and launched a Truth-Seeking Orb, forcing Isshiki to appear.
Despite the risk of Jigen's body collapsing, Isshiki had no choice but to engage, relying on his superior taijutsu to maneuver against Momoshiki.
...
Elsewhere, Urashiki also made his move.
Instead of attacking directly, he cast out his fishing rod—targeting several of Isshiki's test subjects and Mitsuki from Team Boruto.
His strike was so fast, it gave no time to react.
In an instant, he had finished the hunt—extracting and collecting the unique energy and divine techniques hidden within the experimental subjects.
He sealed all of it into his fishing basket.
...
However, the arrival of the Ōtsutsuki trio had caused such a massive disturbance that it immediately drew the attention of major Shinobi villages.
Led by Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji, elite shinobi from every great village rushed to the scene and engaged Kinshiki—the guardian assigned to defend the perimeter.
The Five Kage fought together, unleashing a barrage of powerful ninjutsu, secret arts, and Kekkei Genkai.
But Kinshiki simply phased through them all.
He then reappeared in front of the Mizukage and Kazekage, brandishing a massive crimson energy axe.
With his already titanic frame, one single swing caused the ground to rupture and rendered the two Kage unconscious.
...
Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!
From above, Ōnoki activated his jutsu, trapping Kinshiki in a Dust Release barrier.
Boom!
With a single chop of his axe, the Dust Release construct shattered.
The destructive chakra meant to disintegrate all matter was inhaled by Kinshiki like air, absorbed effortlessly.
That chakra was then reforged into a long spear, which he hurled directly—impaling the Raikage.
...
Rasengan!
Boom!
Naruto activated Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and struck Kinshiki from behind with a high-speed assault.
An attack that would have pulverized an ordinary shinobi only made Kinshiki stagger slightly—his clothes barely ruffled.
Isshiki swung back with his axe—blade flashing toward Naruto's neck.
In that critical moment, Sasuke used Amenotejikara, swapping himself with the weapon in Isshiki's hand.
The displaced weapon slashed at empty air.
Kinshiki's Axe missed Naruto and was instead met by Sasuke—who stabbed toward Kinshiki's heart with the Sword of Totsuka.
Naruto, not missing a beat, condensed an even larger Rasengan and attacked Kinshiki from the side.
...
But Kinshiki had conquered and destroyed more than a hundred planets—facing natives with all kinds of bizarre powers.
Though Naruto and Sasuke were powerful, they were far from beyond his ability to handle.
With a thought, Kinshiki recalled his Axe—now in spear form—breaking through the air resistance to fly back toward him.
At the same time, he extended a massive hand, grabbing Sasuke's blade just inches from his heart.
With a burst of force, he flung Sasuke straight into Naruto—who was still holding the Rasengan.
Amenotejikara!
Sasuke swapped positions again—this time with the Rasengan itself.
Suddenly, Isshiki found a Rasengan in his hand.
Naruto's Rasengan exploded without warning—shredding Isshiki's palm with dozens of fine, concentrated wounds.
...
That brief exchange gave Naruto and Sasuke the chance they needed.
The two exchanged a look—and silently agreed.
It was time to unleash Susanoo and Kurama.
Giant energy titans—one golden, one violet—rose from the earth.
Wielding a Rasengan and a divine weapon, they launched a synchronized assault on Kinshiki.
Kinshiki raised an eyebrow at the sight of their massive forms.
He transformed his weapon again—into dual battle axes—and crossed them before him in defense.
With brute strength alone, he met the towering chakra constructs head-on.
...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A continuous barrage of Rasengan and Indra's Arrows unleashed a tempest of energy, swallowing Kinshiki whole.
The ground beneath him crumbled, forming a crater over a hundred meters deep.
After a sustained assault, both Naruto and Sasuke had burned through enormous amounts of chakra.
Only when Kinshiki's presence had completely vanished did they finally stop—gasping for breath.
