Chapter 457

Who could possibly defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

Even if she consumed the Divine Tree's fruit,

Kaguya Otsutsuki was wounded by her,

and has not yet regained her full strength,

yet Kaguya Otsutsuki dares not claim she can defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

So Kaguya Otsutsuki could only assume it was the Sage of Six Paths and his brother who did this,

otherwise she simply could not imagine,

anyone capable of such a thing!!

"Heh… you also find this absurd, don't you? But this is what Otsutsuki Ichi-shiki himself said…"

"There is a man on this planet named Hashirama Senju—he fears him greatly…"

"He told me that if I were to confront Hashirama Senju directly, I would be defeated by him, so he warned me not to act rashly…"

Otsutsuki Momoshiki curled his lips,

speaking to Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

And Kaguya Otsutsuki's expression had not yet recovered,

she declared that she could not believe a word of what Otsutsuki Momoshiki said.

If it were her own sons—the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, and Otsutsuki Hamura—there might be a chance,

since they too carried the blood of the Otsutsuki clan,

and though it shocked her,

there was still a glimmer of hope!!

But if it were merely a native of this planet who achieved this,

it would be pure fantasy,

and as Kaguya Otsutsuki of the Otsutsuki clan,

she herself knew how terrifying the Otsutsuki clan truly was!!

Not to mention,

Otsutsuki Ichi-shiki, whose bloodline and talent far surpassed hers!!

"Heh… I don't believe a single word that Ichi-shiki says."

"But I didn't come here for any other reason—I merely wanted you to see the sight of your former master's crushing defeat at my hands…"

Otsutsuki Momoshiki grinned, splitting his lips.

It was merely his twisted amusement,

nothing more!!

He had no interest in coming here specifically to humiliate Kaguya Otsutsuki,

the man he truly wished to humiliate was Otsutsuki Ichi-shiki,

and once he reclaimed the Divine Tree's fruit,

he would immediately take Kaguya Otsutsuki back to the Otsutsuki clan to face punishment!!

…

The Akatsuki,

upon seeing these four figures, Nagato fell silent.

He now felt that all his past actions and words had been a joke,

these four were true gods!!

He felt that his former claim to be a god

was nothing but shame.

Any one of these four could crush him beneath their feet!!

In fact, if he possessed even the strength of one among them,

he would no longer need to collect the Nine Tailed Beasts at all,

his own power alone would be enough to force the Five Great Nations to submit to his rule!!

"Konan… do you think…"

"If such a powerful enemy appeared in our world, how could I possibly resist their assault?"

"Even if we gathered all nine Tailed Beasts, their combined power would still be no match for any one of them…"

"I now even doubt whether my past actions were right or wrong…"

Nagato sighed deeply,

for the first time expressing profound doubt in his own strength,

and beside him, Konan opened her mouth,

wanting to encourage Nagato,

but she found herself unable to speak a word,

for the power of these four was truly terrifying!!

Any one of them could wipe out the entire ninja world,

this was a gap no number of people could bridge,

even if they gathered all nine Tailed Beasts,

what could they possibly change?

Once such a powerful being appears in this world,

They had absolutely no way or ability to resist these people!!

……

Inside the cave,

Black Zetsu sensed the presence of Otsutsuki Momoshiki and Otsutsuki Kinshiki,

his already pitch-black expression,

immediately turned utterly grim!!

Although he had long known from his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki that the arrival of the Otsutsuki clan would be terrifying,

when these individuals actually appeared on the screen,

Black Zetsu realized,

that his mother's fears were not without reason!!

Any one of them appearing in today's ninja world,

would face no one capable of stopping them,

yet that fool Hagoromo Otsutsuki had sealed away the ninja world's strongest warrior—Kaguya Otsutsuki!!

Know that their world has no such accidental existence as Hashirama Senju,

for today's ninja world,

even its strongest had not approached Six Paths level power,

should any Otsutsuki clan member appear in this world,

this world would surely be destroyed at once!!!

225. Black Zetsu's despair! When will I be able to escape?!

Black Zetsu inside the cave felt despair,

but even more desperate than him was the Black Zetsu locked in the cage by Nara Shatsuki!

This Black Zetsu felt his life had lost all hope,

no matter how hard he tried, he found it nearly impossible to escape from Nara Shatsuki's laboratory!!

And if he could not escape from Nara Shatsuki's laboratory,

how could he ever save his mother Kaguya Otsutsuki?

"Damn… how can such an absurd existence exist in this world?"

"How the hell did Hashirama Senju cultivate to surpass Hagoromo by so much?!"

"How can I escape from here? If I can't escape, I'll never be able to save my mother here…"

How can I escape from here? If I can't get out, I'll never be able to save my mother from this place…
