Looking at the unconscious Kimimaro, Momoshiki curiously reached out and touched his horns.
The texture was the same as the horns on his own head, no different. Although his bloodline was a bit impure, he could barely be considered an Otsutsuki.

He didn't know how these horns grew, turning a pure little boy into something resembling a young dragon girl if you didn't look closely.
With the Otsutsuki physique, Kimimaro's willpower clearly increased.
After enduring that level of pain, he woke up in just about 5 minutes.
"Ugh..."
Kimimaro laboriously opened his eyes. His vision was blurry and chaotic, a little unclear.
As the light gradually focused, he saw Momoshiki's half-smile.
"I'm..."
Kimimaro momentarily forgot what had happened, but Momoshiki just stroked his head.
"You're awake? Heh heh~ Congratulations, the surgery was very successful. You're now considered an Otsutsuki."
"Otsutsuki...?"
Kimimaro froze for a moment, not understanding what the word meant.
He carefully recalled in his mind. It seemed Momoshiki had injected his own blood into him, and then he had changed.
Blood had devoured his body, changing him.
He looked at his not-too-pale skin on his hand, felt something on his forehead, and touched it.
It was a horn!
If he guessed correctly, then he should have also become a creature like Momoshiki.
"Get up."
Momoshiki reached out and pulled him up, then patted his shoulder with a serious expression.
"The Kaguya surname is like a past shackles to you, so now you are no longer Kaguya Kimimaro."
"?!"
Kimimaro froze.
He indeed disliked the Kaguya clan. Being treated as a weapon for years had left him with no good feelings towards the clan.
So even when his clan was massacred, he had no feelings about it, just indifference.
"From now on, you will be called Otsutsuki Kimimaro."
"Otsutsuki Kimimaro?"
Kimimaro muttered softly, not quite understanding the meaning of this surname, but he obediently accepted the new name.
Seeing him nod innocently, Momoshiki's lips curled slightly.
He probably didn't know the meaning of this name. The moment he accepted this name, he would no longer belong to humanity, but would be an ultimate lifeform, transcending all other creatures.
An ultimate lifeform that constantly grew stronger by devouring planets.
However, he didn't plan to tell Kimimaro these things yet.
"Alright, everything here is done. I'll take you to meet your other family members, and we'll leave this place."
Momoshiki said, his eyes meeting Kimimaro's slightly expectant gaze.
It seemed Kimimaro's desire to meet his new family was clearly written on his face.
No wonder his servants liked to pick up children so much. He hadn't felt anything good about it when playing games before, but now he realized how satisfying it was.
Momoshiki activated Kamui, and the two immediately felt a twist, teleporting into the Kamui Dimension.
Because of the stellar-powered mini-sun lamp, it didn't feel dark at all, and they could see everything clearly.
Kimimaro, upon entering, couldn't help but look around curiously.
As far as the eye could see, there were only stone pillars, with a pile of novels on the stone pillar beneath their feet, and some incomprehensible mechanical trinkets.
Just as he was about to ask something, Momoshiki suddenly took him and directly flew up, heading towards Furina.
At this time, Furina and Haku's training had reached a masterful level.
Haku's heaven-defying talent easily mastered various techniques. Aside from a slight lack of chakra, he had basically achieved 80% mastery over ice.
He could easily summon various ice needles, or condense ice into thousands of senbon, falling like a rainstorm from high in the sky.
He had even begun to simply master the power of the Mirror World. Although he could only barely sense another space, it was still incredibly ridiculous.
It was hard to imagine this was just a child.
Furina and Haku had also developed various fancy combination techniques. For example, Furina would spray a water pillar with Hydro elements, and it would be accompanied by various ice needles.
Or Furina would create rain with Hydro elements high in the sky, and Haku would freeze all the rainwater into needles.
If you asked what the most powerful ability of ice was? Naturally, it was hard to observe when completely submerged in water. How about ice shuriken in water?
All sorts of shady fighting styles.
Sensing someone approaching, Furina and Haku turned their heads in confusion, and saw Momoshiki descending from the sky with a little boy.
Looking at the various ice pillars and ice bridges around, Momoshiki was a little surprised.
He didn't expect the first training session to achieve such results. It seemed Zabuza's eye for talent was indeed impressive.
"Let me introduce you. This is Otsutsuki Kimimaro, a new family member who just joined us," Momoshiki patted Kimimaro's shoulder.
"Otsutsuki Kimimaro? Also an Otsutsuki? Is he your clan member, Momoshiki?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Furina's heart, but she quickly noticed Kimimaro's loneliness and confusion, very similar to Haku, and his face was even a little dirty.
She understood something, and with some heartache, took out her handkerchief to wipe the dirt from his face.
Looking at the gentle older sister in front of him, Kimimaro, as expected, was once again moved.
"Not entirely, but close enough. Originally, his body had an incurable disease. I assimilated him, so he was successfully cured."
"Assimilated?"
Furina froze for a moment, then her mind whirred, and she understood that Kimimaro had been transformed into an Otsutsuki.
"Hmm."
Momoshiki shrugged indifferently, then turned and left, leaving a sentence as he departed.
"You two get along well. I'll go look for more people we can recruit."
Leaving Furina alone in the Kamui Dimension was clearly not very reassuring. After all, the world was vast and full of wonders, and the Kamui Dimension wasn't absolutely safe.
Aha was the best example. She could ignore the concept of space, appear anywhere at will, and even ignore the fourth wall, treating everything as a plot.
Although not everyone was so powerful, it was inevitable that other worlds also had bizarre individuals who could ignore space.
Furina was Momoshiki's only weakness at the moment. After all, he hadn't revived yet and could only live through Furina. He had to protect her well.
Recruiting these people wasn't just for playing poker or mahjong later. It was also to find bodyguards for Furina when he wasn't possessing her, the kind that developed feelings from a young age.
As for why he wasn't planning to possess Furina for fights now, it was mainly because Furina's physical quality, no matter how much it was enhanced, couldn't surpass his own. Sometimes, she was too passive.
After Momoshiki left, Haku smiled gently at Kimimaro, and reached out to greet him.
...
"Hiss~"
Momoshiki, who had come out, leaned against a large tree, carefully pondering about a few Otsutsuki.
Currently, there were two ways to kill Urashiki: the first was to wait, and the second was to directly travel to the time when Urashiki arrived.
As for the other Otsutsuki, Kaguya was sealed on the moon, which was simple. He could just reach out and pull her out. And Toneri Otsutsuki, that was even simpler. He was waiting on the moon to get beaten.
Isshiki was currently still possessing someone and researching technology, waiting for revival. He was in the Ninja World, and quite easy to find. With his Byakugan activated, and with the Aeon amplification, he could directly observe a planet and find him with a slight glance.
But Kinshiki was troublesome. He had no idea where he was in the universe, finding him would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Speaking of Kinshiki Otsutsuki, Momoshiki always had a question.
Didn't his "Golden Peach" form mean he had eaten Kinshiki Otsutsuki? So logically, Kinshiki had merged with him and was a part of his body.
Therefore, it meant that Kinshiki should be inside him, but he hadn't received a prompt for killing Kinshiki.
This was like a paradox, a question of existence and non-existence. If he existed, why was there no kill prompt? If he didn't exist, why did he have the "Golden Peach" form?
Did he need to commit suicide in his "Golden Peach" form? But he was already dead now. If he committed suicide again, it would be erasing his consciousness, which was very dangerous.
Tsk... headache.
Although he didn't know how to do it, he had always been in his normal form and had never transformed into "Golden Peach."
If he needed to transform into "Golden Peach" to unlock it, then that would make sense and resolve this paradox.
Trying it wouldn't consume anything, it would just waste a little time.
Momoshiki used all his chakra, fiercely impacting the bottleneck. Various powerful condensed chakra instantly broke through his skin and surged out.
His horns also grew sharply, and black chakra condensed matter began to adhere to his skin. Before long, he transformed into the familiar "Golden Peach" form.
The Rinnegan in both his hands also turned golden, his eyes turned golden, and a golden Rinnegan opened on his forehead. The power of his five eyes was exceptionally strong.
Power, endless power, surged into his body like a mountain collapse and a tsunami.
Because it was his first transformation, Momoshiki had no idea that the power would come so fiercely, and he certainly didn't know it would be so violent.
In an instant, he became paralyzed due to his body's inability to adapt. He propped himself up with his hands, barely avoiding falling, and felt an itchy sensation all over his body.
Too much power. Although it wasn't enough to break through his skin, it was both itchy and painful, constantly flowing through his limbs and bones.
"Tsk..."
Gritting his teeth, Momoshiki decided to emulate a certain old acquaintance on how to use pain to occupy his nerves to resist the sensation of surging power.
He reached out and directly inserted his finger into his head, stirring it back and forth.
He hadn't understood why Dio was so crazy before, just thinking he had a mental illness. Only now did he realize how uncomfortable it was when power surged in.
Only by fiercely clashing intense pain with the uncomfortable itching sensation, plus the nerves being unable to transmit so much information, would a transmission bug occur.
That is, it wasn't too painful, but also not too itchy. It might cause nerve problems if it lasted too long, but for Momoshiki's physical quality, there was clearly nothing to worry about.
Fortunately, he now had an Otsutsuki body. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably have exploded on the spot.
Before long, the power finally stabilized, and Momoshiki also remembered the flow path of all the power.
Because it was his first transformation, Momoshiki didn't have Momoshiki Otsutsuki's mental strength, making it difficult to endure the surging power, and he wasn't clear about the power's path.
However, the Momoshiki Otsutsuki in the anime was clearly not doing this for the first time. He transformed so smoothly, perfectly guiding the power to all the places it should go.
So there was no discomfort at all. On the contrary, his new, strengthened body felt incredibly familiar.
He still needed to observe and learn this well.
Just as Momoshiki was admiring the Rinnegan that had gained powerful strength, the system suddenly popped up automatically.
The page automatically switched to the various Otsutsuki avatars, and Kinshiki Otsutsuki's avatar gradually gained color amidst a flash of light.
[Ding!]
