Chapter 236: Otsutsuki Yueji VS Otsutsuki Biraku

The ceiling of Otsutsuki Yueji's castle was torn away entirely by cyan butterfly wings. The light emitted by the artificial moon in mid-air descended slowly. Amidst the scattering dust, a slender figure appeared faintly under the dim, grey moonlight.

Uchiha Gin, watching from the edge of the battlefield, felt his pupils shake the moment he saw that unfamiliar figure. His red irises were instantly stained with a blue-white glow, and his Byakugan eyes widened, determined to see that figure clearly.

"My apologies, Clan Leader."

A sweet, charming voice rang out. The butterfly wings behind the figure flapped slightly, blowing away all the floating dust in the vicinity and revealing the true appearance of their owner.

The massive Otsutsuki Biraku from before had vanished. Standing in the center of the arena was a tall, charming stranger. Her white eyes were brimming with tenderness, her nose was high and straight, and her full red lips were delicate and dripping with allure.

The way she looked at Uchiha Gin seemed as if it could melt into water. Her long, pure white hair was slightly curled, resting casually on her shoulders and giving her a sense of languid beauty.

"Tsk! I told you, beauty, you look amazing when you slim down~"

Uchiha Gin, truly stunned by Otsutsuki Biraku's transformation, couldn't help but exclaim in praise. His blue-white eyes stared at her without the slightest avoidance, as if he were admiring a rare treasure.

Especially when he saw that her towering chest had not deflated due to the effects of the Butterfly Transformation Technique, the light in his eyes grew even brighter, and he couldn't help but feel deeply impressed by his own foresight.

"Mr. Gin, this is my true form. Thank you for letting me be myself. Uh, why does my chest feel so tight?"

Having successfully slimmed down due to the Butterfly Transformation Technique, Otsutsuki Biraku lifted her head confidently. The gratitude in her eyes was plain to see, and her heartbeat was accelerating uncontrollably, nearly jumping out of her chest, yet it was blocked by a thick barrier, leaving her utterly bewildered.

"Huh? Was I this big before?"

Otsutsuki Biraku only then discovered that the terrifying peaks on her chest, while extremely large, did not sag due to their weight. Instead, they stood tall and proud under the moonlight as if reinforced by the Light-Weight Rock Technique, pinning Uchiha Gin's gaze firmly upon them, unable to look away even a fraction.

"Cough, cough, cough. It's just a secondary growth spurt, don't make a fuss."

Seeming to sense a scorching gaze, Otsutsuki Biraku crossed her arms over her chest with some discomfort. Only then did Uchiha Gin reluctantly withdraw his gaze. After a sheepish laugh, he offered a very professional explanation.

"Really?"

As the Great Elder of the Otsutsuki clan, Otsutsuki Biraku was not as easily fooled as those little ones on the ground. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and her charming face was filled with suspicion, making Uchiha Gin feel incredibly guilty.

"Sigh... perhaps your Butterfly Transformation Technique hasn't been fully mastered yet. You must practice diligently after returning and strive to refine it soon."

Uchiha Gin sighed inwardly, as if watching these rare treasures of the world about to drift away from him; the reluctance in his eyes was instantly revealed.

"If Mr. Gin likes them, then I won't refine them away~"

This subtle look was immediately captured by the meticulous Otsutsuki Biraku. Having realized the reason, she generously lowered her defensive arms and took the opportunity to puff out her chest, causing a violent surge of waves. With her white eyes full of temptation, she said in a charming voice to the miserable-looking Uchiha Gin.

"Good!"

Uchiha Gin felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing this. He couldn't help but give a thumbs-up to the understanding Otsutsuki Biraku, and the smile on his face was impossible to contain.

Just as he was rejoicing that he had saved a pair of peerless treasures, he noticed Otsutsuki Yueji, who had been standing still in the distance. A cyan-blue light surged in her fair hands, and several light orbs, with an aura even more intense than before, emerged behind her, aimed directly at the charming Otsutsuki Biraku.

"Watch out!"

Uchiha Gin felt his heart tighten and hurriedly called out a warning, his hands clapping together instantly as the aura of Wood Release brewed within them.

"Mr. Gin, no need to worry, I am in a good state now."

Facing the incoming light orbs, there was no fear in Otsutsuki Biraku's eyes. She smiled faintly, and the giant butterfly wings behind her flapped, shooting several cyan flames from the wings that collided head-on with the incoming light orbs.

"Boom!!"

Following the collision of the two energies, a violent shockwave erupted in the arena. The air blast, carrying the overflowing, terrifying energy, swept through the castle.

The sturdy outer walls were instantly eroded by this force. As the power dissipated, the stargazing platform, which already lacked a roof, was now transformed into an open-air terrace.

"Clan Leader, wake up!"

Under the enhancement of the Butterfly Transformation Technique, Otsutsuki Biraku, whose strength was originally slightly inferior, erupted with power several times greater than before. Looking at Otsutsuki Yueji, whose white eyes were filled with madness, she frowned slightly; she had only seen the Clan Leader in this state once before.

"Awoooo~~"

Already dominated by violent power, Otsutsuki Yueji could no longer hear a word. She spread her arms and howled at the full moon in the sky, then a cyan-blue chakra cloak surged over her body, and she charged toward the solemn-faced Otsutsuki Biraku with lightning speed.

Seeing Otsutsuki Yueji attacking in her direction, Otsutsuki Biraku, worried for Uchiha Gin's safety behind her, immediately spread her wings and turned into a cyan bolt of lightning, heading toward the manic Otsutsuki Yueji.

Before Otsutsuki Yueji could arrive, Otsutsuki Biraku gathered all her strength and landed on her path. Her hands glowed with intense cyan light, a rich chakra aura condensing in her palms, her Byakugan eyes following the Clan Leader's figure closely.

"Forgive me!"

As the opponent arrived, Otsutsuki Biraku danced her palms, and several giant cyan fists appeared behind her.

This technique was a secret of the Otsutsuki clan, only to be learned by those of extremely noble status; Otsutsuki Yueji had just used it herself.

"Secret Technique: Divine Void Strike."

The giant cyan fists transformed from chakra smashed aggressively toward Otsutsuki Yueji's slender body.

"Roar!"

With a crisp roar, blue-cyan giant fists similarly emerged behind Otsutsuki Yueji. The two colors of giant fists began to clash without giving an inch.

"Ora ora ora!"

Uchiha Gin lay on the ruins, looking at the giant fists clashing in the sky with surprise, a hint of contemplation flashing in his eyes.

"This move is a bit like the ancestor's Kekkei Mora, the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack. As expected of a single lineage, they haven't lost the good stuff."

Watching the two who were performing a move similar to Kaguya Otsutsuki's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack with satisfaction, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but feel a deep sense of contempt for his relatives fighting so fiercely on the ground.

Fight, fight, fight—all they know is fighting all day. Have they learned the ancestor's true skills?

"Phew... as expected of the Clan Leader. If not for the Butterfly Transformation Technique, I might not have been able to withstand a single blow from you."

The duel of the Divine Void Strikes came to an end. Otsutsuki Biraku, who hadn't gained any advantage, wiped the sweat from her forehead and sincerely praised Otsutsuki Yueji, who stood opposite her without even a disordered breath.

"However, I cannot back down. Mr. Gin is watching me!"

A sharp glint flashed in her white eyes, and Otsutsuki Biraku pressed forward once more. Her butterfly wings flapped rapidly, and in an instant, she was before Otsutsuki Yueji.

"Let's go elsewhere! This place is not suitable for a battlefield."

A flash of confusion crossed the opponent's manic face. The next moment, she felt her arms restrained by a giant force. Otsutsuki Biraku grabbed Otsutsuki Yueji's arms, flapped her wings with force, and the two vanished from the spot instantly.

"Mmm~~~"

Restrained, Otsutsuki Yueji struggled wildly, a cyan-blue light emerging on her body as she felt the opponent's chakra invading her own.

Enduring the needle-like pain in her body's acupoints, Otsutsuki Biraku gritted her teeth and dragged the Clan Leader to an abandoned floating island closest to the artificial moon.

Feeling that the distance was far enough, Otsutsuki Biraku threw the hot potato away. She looked at her slightly trembling hands, calmed the somewhat disordered and blocked chakra within her body, and looked up, her white eyes filled with extreme caution.

"This state..."

Otsutsuki Biraku had served as Great Elder for decades. During her tenure, she had only seen Otsutsuki Yueji in this violent mode once before.

That was over twenty years ago, when a remnant force of the main family launched an armed coup to regain control.

Under the opponent's sudden offensive, the caught-off-guard branch family was taken by surprise. Because they had invested all their manpower and resources into the research of the Tenseigan, the branch family's overall strength was greatly reduced, and they were pushed into a desperate situation.

At that time, Otsutsuki Yueji, who was resonating with the Tenseigan, was forced to come out of seclusion. Facing the aggressive main family, she quickly fell into a disadvantage due to being surrounded. At this critical moment, a violent power suddenly erupted from within her.

Following that, the situation reversed instantly. Otsutsuki Yueji, having fallen into complete madness, slaughtered the group of main family members who had mastered strange powers with overwhelming force. Only after the last main family member breathed their last did Otsutsuki Yueji regain her senses.

And this time, the person who triggered her violent mode was Uchiha Gin. Only by dealing with the person who triggered it would Otsutsuki Yueji regain her senses; otherwise, this madness would continue indefinitely.

Thinking of this, Otsutsuki Biraku tightened her fists. Feeling the immense power transformed by the Butterfly Transformation Technique, she felt confident and took a step forward, assuming a unique starting stance of the Otsutsuki clan. Her rosy lips parted slightly, her charming voice filled with determination.

"Let me be the one to wake you up, Clan Leader!"

Otsutsuki Yueji, dominated by madness, naturally couldn't hear a word. Now, in her eyes, anyone standing in her way was an enemy.

Only the dead were not enemies.
