Chapter 559: The Otsutsuki Clan Wants to Wage a Genocide War, The Expedition Army Reaches Its Destination!

After Otsutsuki Urashiki was captured alive, the Otsutsuki clan did not send anyone else to the ninja world.

After all, every clan member sent to this world ended up either killed or captured. According to Otsutsuki Feiyu's intelligence, the ninja world still had many Six Paths level powerhouses. To wage war against this world, unless the entire Otsutsuki clan mobilized, sending more clan members would be no different from delivering heads to the enemy.

The Otsutsuki clan was making preparations. They planned to gradually recall clan members dispersed outside to plant Divine Trees. After that, they would completely absorb and devour the energy of the Divine Wood Star, and then transplant the World Creation Divine Tree to the ninja world.

Planting the World Creation Divine Tree on the enemy's homeland would render the entire planet useless within a few years, no matter how powerful the planet was.

With the entire clan preparing to migrate, Otsutsuki Yagara wanted to fight a true genocide war against Ryun. That is why he did not impulsively go seek Ryun for a life or death fight, nor did he send more scouts to the ninja world.

The clan only sent Otsutsuki Urashiki because his location was relatively close to the ninja world. Otsutsuki Yagara had a sliver of hope, wanting him to secretly infiltrate and test the waters. If he failed, losing just one Urashiki was not a big deal...

After the invasion by Otsutsuki Urashiki, people from both worlds seemed to quiet down. For a long time, no battles broke out between the two sides. This calm lasted for nearly ten years.

Over these ten years, the scattered Otsutsuki clan members gradually returned to the clan. The number of high ranking Otsutsuki on the Divine Wood Star also increased significantly. Moreover, as time passed, the number of Otsutsuki kept growing.

As for the ninja world side, the expedition army's airship had been traveling through space for over thirteen years. By now, they were very close to the Divine Wood Star. They could even see that giant life bearing planet through telescopes.

"We are finally about to arrive."

The long duration of space travel had nearly driven the expedition army members from the ninja world crazy...

"The closer we are, the more vigilant we must be. We need to slow down. It's best to send Edo Tensei first to scout the environment, to prevent our entire force from being exposed," Orochimaru reminded with a serious expression.

"Teacher is right. Currently, the overall strength of the Ōtsutsuki clan still far surpasses ours. A direct head-on clash is very disadvantageous for us, so we still need to use strategy," the Clone Transformation Ryun agreed.

"Also, just in case, we should find a landing spot first. We need to summon my main body here before approaching that planet."

Hearing Ryun's words, everyone nodded in agreement. Their hearts held both excitement and the tension of impending battle.

"That large meteor over there looks good. Let's create the ultra long-distance summoning array there first," Nanaise suggested, pointing to a distant giant meteor.

A moment later, Sasuke used the Rinnegan's gravitational force to pull it over. The expedition army members soon appeared on the large meteor. Everyone released a chakra protective barrier to withstand the effects of the vacuum environment, their feet firmly adhering to the meteor's surface.

"Nanaise, Minato, you two come help me draw the summoning array formula," Ryun called for the two to assist him. Otherwise, the workload was truly a bit too much.

"Okay."

Activating an ultra long-distance summoning array required drawing a large number of spatial formulas. It also needed extremely powerful chakra energy to activate the array, which could then summon Ryun's main body from an extremely distant location.

Although the Clone Transformation possessed most of the main body's abilities, only the Kamui skill was unusable for him. This meant Ryun's main body could not use the Kamui dimension to ignore distance and reach their side.

If the clone and the main body were on the same planet, the clone could share Ryun's Kamui. If they were separated, and the distance was too vast, then only the main body could use Kamui.

This was why the clone needed to spend time and effort setting up the summoning grand array.

The three quickly cleared a clean, flat rock surface. Then they began drawing the spatial formulas on the rock.

With the three working without rest, after more than half a day of drawing, a profound and enormous summoning array soon appeared before everyone.

The summoning array was about the size of two basketball courts. On the array, there were twelve smaller nodes, and the large yin-yang core in the very center.

"We need someone to stay in the twelve nodes to provide chakra for the summoning array," Ryun swept his gaze over everyone, and in the next moment proactively walked into the black area of the yin-yang core.

"Wait a moment. Let's use Edo Tensei bodies to provide the chakra. Everyone else should try to maintain their own chakra at peak levels," Orochimaru stopped those approaching and volunteered the suggestion. He then immediately used the Edo Tensei technique.

With a puff of smoke, Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo, Uchiha Madara, Hashirama Senju, and others were summoned.

After some communication, the Edo Tensei bodies, including Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, Ōtsutsuki Isshiki, and Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki, all stood at the nodes. They prepared to output chakra and activate the summoning grand array at any moment.

When the expedition army's summoning grand array was fully prepared, Ryun's main body, far on the other side of the starry sky, had also drawn a small-scale summoning array of the same type. He himself sat cross-legged in the center of the array, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

The Clone Transformation Ryun sat cross-legged in one of the two core positions of the grand array. He then took out a small container of crimson liquid from his body.

This was Ryun's blood. Even after thirteen years, his Sage blood remained fresh and searing hot. The Clone Transformation would use this blood along with Ryun's chakra to summon the main body here in an instant.

A cross-galaxy summoning technique was not something that could be used casually. Even Black Dragon joining the expedition army needed to first transform into human form and board the spacecraft together to arrive here. Trying to summon summoning beasts from the ninja world on the Ōtsutsuki clan's turf was impossible.

The Clone Transformation poured the main body's blood into the summoning array. He then injected a portion of his own Sage mana into it. Immediately afterward, he closed his eyes and began to wait quietly.

"Orochimaru sir, what is boss doing? Why did he stop after working on it?" Deidara couldn't help but ask curiously.

"He needs to wait for my father's main body to sense this side. Then he can jump across an ultra long-distance space and come here," Nanaise proactively explained the current situation.

"So that's how it is... Summoning a person is so troublesome... I thought it was as easy as having hands..." Deidara scratched his head and said.

Hearing this, Black Dragon couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. "You think he's a summoning beast? Or you think this is the ninja world? Where one summoning technique can call a summoning beast over?"

"Uh... I just didn't know..." Deidara said awkwardly.

"If you don't know, don't speak nonsense."

"Tch, can't be bothered arguing with you, little mud snake..." Deidara pursed his lips and said. He had argued enough on the airship to be tired of it.

Black Dragon, Hidan, Deidara, the three loudmouths were like seasoning during the boring voyage. With them bickering and arguing from time to time, the tedious interstellar journey was not so dull as to be unbearable...

"Sensed it."

The Clone Transformation and Ryun's main body almost simultaneously opened their eyes.

"Chakra."

Following the Clone Transformation's command, the Edo Tensei bodies sat cross-legged in the twelve nodes and immediately released their own chakra to fully activate the summoning grand array.

"Summoning technique."

The Clone Transformation formed hand seals, then forcefully slapped his palm on the ground.

Boom.

With a burst of thick smoke, a figure immediately appeared in the white area of the array's yin-yang core.

"Finally... we've arrived."
