Chapter 498

Could his strength advance even further!!!

Feeling Senju Hashirama's aura firmly locked onto him the whole time,

but seeing that he made no further moves,

Otsutsuki Momoshiki burned with rage and humiliation inside!!!

He could feel it clearly—

Senju Hashirama was merely toying with them, treating them like a cat toying with mice,

when they clearly had people among them capable of wiping out the three of them in an instant,

yet he chose not to do so,

instead letting the three of them do whatever they pleased right in front of him.

"Hashirama… can we really let these three escape?"

"These three possess such tremendous power—any one of them could destroy the shinobi world with ease… what if…"

Uzumaki Mito immediately walked over to Senju Hashirama's side,

saying to him with a face full of worry.

And Senju Hashirama, after hearing her out, merely smiled faintly and said to her,

"Mito… don't worry… these three fellows can't escape the palm of my hand."

"I just want to see what other abilities they still have left to use."

Hearing Senju Hashirama say this,

Uzumaki Mito finally set her heart at ease.

【Jiraiya: How terrifying… the stronger these enemies get, the simpler it seems for the First Hokage to deal with them. No one knows just how powerful the First Hokage really is anymore…】

【Orochimaru: It looks like the First Hokage isn't worried about these Otsutsuki clan members at all. The situation seems completely in his grasp—he's not afraid of any problems these Otsutsuki clan members might cause.】

【Fourth Raikage: Have you noticed? No matter the enemy, the First Hokage seems to take them down with a single palm or fist, and he hasn't used any powerful ninjutsu or abilities.】

【Ohnoki: …Because these fellows appearing later, their strength can hardly truly threaten the Hokage anymore. There's no one worthy of him unleashing his various powerful abilities. With only the most basic moves, he can easily defeat these people…】

·· ········Please send flowers··· ·······

【Minato Namikaze: Yeah… I can't even imagine to what extent the First Hokage's body has been developed. He doesn't seem to have used any techniques either—just the most basic physical abilities can easily tear open space and surpass the speed of sound…】

【Might Guy: …Among all cultivators, this is the realm they dream of. Someone once proposed a theory: if the body is trained to its absolute limit, perhaps that body could transcend time and space and become the most powerful substance in this world!!】

【Rock Lee:????! Guy-sensei, so all of this is real?! I always thought it was just a story—I never imagined such a realm could actually exist!】

【Fourth Raikage: Hmm… the successive Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village once proposed this realm as well. It sounds incredibly powerful, but also like a fantasy—humans basically can't achieve it…】

……

The three Otsutsuki Isshiki members were fleeing frantically,

but no matter how far they ran,

there always seemed to be an aura on them,

firmly locked onto them the whole time!!!

And it was precisely this aura that kept locking onto them

that made them fully understand—

Senju Hashirama was doing this on purpose, all to thoroughly humiliate and toy with them!!!

Senju Hashirama seemed to be treating them like lab rats.

"Isshiki… is your strength really limited to just this?"

"Don't worry… for the time being, I won't make any further moves against you."

"Run as far as you like. I want to see what strange abilities the Otsutsuki clan possesses."

"Mice… run to your hearts' content!!"

Senju Hashirama's teasing voice rang out beside the three of them.

The three Otsutsuki Isshiki members were filled with an overwhelming sense of humiliation,

but they didn't dare look back,

only daring to exert every ounce of strength to shake off Senju Hashirama's aura locking onto them from behind!! Up.

264. Kaguya Otsutsuki: Momoshiki!! Don't run toward me!!

The Akatsuki,

seeing the sorry state of Otsutsuki Isshiki and Otsutsuki Momoshiki,

all wore satisfied smiles on their faces!!

Being listed as S-rank rogue ninja by their own village,

every member of these squads was an arrogant sort,

and aside from their leader Pain,

they took a strong dislike to everyone else,

each believing themselves to be the strongest person in the organization!!

And now these Otsutsuki clan members had appeared, each one looking down on everyone,

seemingly treating every person in the shinobi world like roadside weeds,

their arrogant manner had long since made these Akatsuki members extremely displeased,

and seeing the three Otsutsuki clan members now broken by Senju Hashirama,

they all felt immensely satisfied,

as if this "five-six-three" could make them even happier inside!!!

"Hmph!! If these Otsutsuki clan fellows dare appear before me, I'll teach them what true art is!!"

"I'll use my own bombs to blast every single one of them sky-high!!"

He raised an eyebrow,

and Deidara stared at the three figures of Otsutsuki Momoshiki on the screen with a defiant, untamed look as he spoke.

Standing beside him, Sasori of the Red Sand heard these words,

and although his face could no longer make any expression,

he felt utterly speechless inside!!

If those three members of the Otsutsuki clan appeared in their world,

there was probably no one in the entire shinobi world who could be a match for those three Otsutsuki,

not even their current leader, Deva Path Pain, could possibly be a match for those three!!

Although Deva Path Pain possessed the Rinnegan,

he could not possibly be stronger than the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo,

and even the Sage of Six Paths, Otsutsuki Hagoromo, feared Otsutsuki Momoshiki and the other two,

so how could Deva Path Pain possibly be their match??!

And Deidara's words were simply too brainless!!

……

Inside the Pure Land space,

sensing the completely defeated auras of Otsutsuki Isshiki and Momoshiki's group of three,

Kaguya Otsutsuki also felt an incomparable sense of satisfaction in her heart!!

Hmph……

Otsutsuki Momoshiki,

weren't you being extremely arrogant?

Believing that in this shinobi world,

you could surely capture me back to the clan for trial,

believing that no one in this shinobi world was your match,

but now the appearance of Hashirama Senju has shattered every one of your own assumptions, hasn't it?!

I wonder how you plan to capture me back to the Otsutsuki clan now.

Thinking of this, Kaguya Otsutsuki

only felt an involuntary sigh of relief in her heart,
