Chapter 358 – Otsutsuki Tenshiki
"That's right. I'm going to the Otsutsuki clan," Yusuke stated.
"Why go there?" Kaguya asked, her face etched with worry.
"To kill Otsutsuki Tenshiki," Yusuke replied.
Kaguya stared at him, yet she didn't feel a shred of true anxiety. For some reason, she felt that as long as Yusuke set his mind to something, it would undoubtedly be accomplished.
"Alright, then..." Kaguya proceeded to give Yusuke the location of the Otsutsuki clan's home world.
"However, even though I know you will win, I must still warn you. Tenshiki is incredibly powerful. Rumor has it he has consumed eight Chakra Fruits," Kaguya warned. That was why only two factors remained, and both were currently on Earth.
"I understand. Let's go, Fatty," Yusuke said with a nod. In the blink of an eye, Yusuke and the fat man vanished from Kaguya's sight.
"Mother, stay calm. Lord Yusuke will not lose," Black Zetsu's voice chimed in. He had been standing beside Kaguya for some time without her noticing.
Kaguya's face flushed at the comment, though her eyes still shimmered with lingering concern. Even if she tried to hide it, Black Zetsu—an entity that had lived for thousands of years—could easily see exactly what she was thinking.
"Mother, when it comes down to it, there are some things you must take the initiative for. In matters of the heart, Lord Yusuke is still quite dense," Black Zetsu added, feeling the need to assist his mother.
"Will he... agree to it?" Kaguya knew she couldn't keep secrets from Black Zetsu.
After all, Black Zetsu was the manifestation of her own will. Even though he had been manipulated by Hagoromo Otsutsuki using Yin-Yang Release until he became a separate entity, he was still the one who understood Kaguya best.
"If you don't try, how will we ever know? You are the goddess known as the Rabbit Goddess, after all," Black Zetsu encouraged.
Hearing that, Kaguya's gaze turned resolute.
Meanwhile, Yusuke and the fat man had arrived on the Otsutsuki home planet. In this place, everyone had white hair, and most were just ordinary people without much in the way of notable strength.
Thinking about it, though, it made sense. The Otsutsuki clan plundered chakra, but it was impossible for every single member to be a powerhouse. To put it simply, the true elite combatants of the clan were only a select few.
"Lord Tenshiki, two individuals who are not of the Otsutsuki clan have broken in," a voice reported.
"I already know. You two, go and finish them. I didn't expect Momoshiki to actually die. That was quite a surprise," Otsutsuki Tenshiki said. He rose from his seat and gazed in Yusuke's direction.
The two he addressed were figures with the second-highest status in the clan, right below Tenshiki himself. Their power far eclipsed that of Momoshiki and the others.
In a flash, they appeared before Yusuke and the fat man. A terrifying pressure of chakra surged toward Yusuke.
"Fatty, can you handle this?" Yusuke asked.
"I can manage one. If it's two, I'm not so sure," the fat man admitted.
As a God of Death blessed by the Heavenly Dao, he was immensely powerful despite his lack of combat experience. The only reason he couldn't take on both was that they weren't in the World of the Dead.
He couldn't exert his full power here. If they were in the afterlife, he might not be able to beat Tenshiki, but dealing with these two would have been a walk in the park.
"Fine. I'll take one," Yusuke said.
His body flickered, and he reappeared beside the stronger of the two Otsutsuki. Dark energy swirled in his hand. In an instant, the Otsutsuki was defeated.
Fast. It was way too fast. Before anyone could even react, that Otsutsuki was gone. In a single moment, Yusuke had finished off Otsutsuki Kagura. He absorbed the power of his opponent's eyes and condensed the body into a fruit.
"Fatty, hurry it up," Yusuke said. A throne made of ice materialized behind him, and he took a seat. It was clear he had no intention of interfering in the next fight.
"Monster," the fat man muttered, his face pale with shock. Even the remaining Otsutsuki, Shingetsu, looked terrified.
"Well then, let's get started," the fat man declared. Blood-red energy erupted from his body, wrapping around him like a shroud.
Yusuke watched the power enveloping the fat man with great interest. That energy, which felt like pure killing intent, really caught his eye.
Yusuke slowly pulled down his blindfold, observing the fat man's power intently. He hadn't seen it clearly before because he hadn't activated his Six Eyes.
"So this is Fatty's power. Killing intent, death energy, and hatred, all mixed with a strange force. What exactly is this? It's similar to the source of the Six Paths power of the Rinnegan, but at a much higher level. So, this is the blessing of the Laws of Heaven? How interesting," Yusuke whispered to himself.
While Yusuke was relaxed, the fat man was having a bit of a rough time.
As a God of Death, his power was suppressed in the ninja world. If it weren't for that, as the ruler of a world, he would have defeated Otsutsuki Shingetsu long ago.
Even though Shingetsu was strong, he was still below the fat man's peak strength. Still, the fat man's power was formidable. Though they seemed evenly matched for now, the fat man's victory was only a matter of time.
Just as the fat man was about to win, a figure appeared in their line of sight.
It was Otsutsuki Tenshiki.
"Useless," Otsutsuki Tenshiki spat.
He reached out toward Otsutsuki Shingetsu. A terrifying gravitational pull manifested, instantly compressing Shingetsu into a fruit without the slightest resistance.
Otsutsuki Tenshiki devoured the fruit hungrily, then shifted his gaze to the fruit in Yusuke's hand. He beckoned with his finger.
The fruit in Yusuke's hand immediately felt a powerful tug. However, Yusuke just sneered. He waved his hand, and the gravitational force was instantly nullified.
Seeing this, Otsutsuki Tenshiki's eyes filled with murderous intent. Under this starry sky, no one was allowed to defy him.
"Suo, I'm outclassed. Please, you take the lead," the fat man said, his tone turning shamelessly fawning.
"Fine. Just watch. But I have to admit, this Tenshiki isn't simple. To think his strength has reached this level," Yusuke said, eyeing Tenshiki.
"How high is it?" the fat man asked.
"How do I put this... against ten people like you, he wouldn't have a problem at all," Yusuke said flatly.
"Even if that's the truth, it still hurts to hear," the fat man grumbled.
"Can't help it. I'm not the type to lie," Yusuke said with a shrug.
"Suo, what are your chances?" the fat man asked seriously, staring at Otsutsuki Tenshiki.
"To be conservative, one hundred percent," Yusuke said with equal seriousness.
"Oh, so you can still fight—wait a minute. One hundred percent? And that's the conservative estimate?" The fat man stared at Yusuke in disbelief.
"Damn, I suspect you're showing off, but I have no proof," the fat man said, rolling his eyes.
"And if you weren't being conservative?"
"You're so noisy. Don't worry. I'm invincible. There is no way I can lose," Yusuke said, his voice tinged with impatience.
Otsutsuki Tenshiki heard every word of their conversation. His face instantly contorted with rage.
He thrust his hand toward Yusuke. A gargantuan, terrifying chakra hand lunged forward to crush him.
Yusuke stood his ground. The giant hand gripped him and exerted its full might.
Yet, no matter how hard Tenshiki squeezed, Yusuke didn't sustain a single scratch.
"Celestial Dragon Palace," Otsutsuki Tenshiki intoned. A massive sphere of light shot forward, slamming into Yusuke, who remained rooted to the spot.
"Holy—! Bro! Dodge it! That attack is no joke!" the fat man screamed in panic.
But Yusuke acted as if he hadn't heard a thing.
"Damn it, you're crazy! Fine, I'm out of here!" the fat man yelled. But just as he turned to run, he caught a glimpse of Yusuke's face, causing him to stop and calm down.
"Fine. If we die, we die," he muttered. At the very least, he was loyal.
The giant light sphere exploded with devastating force, swallowing both of them. When the white light finally faded, Yusuke and the fat man stood there, completely unscathed.
"I... holy crap," the fat man said, staring at his own body in utter shock.
He noticed a small pebble floating around him, which then slowly drifted to the ground.
"This... damn. And you still claim you aren't Gojo Satoru? This is literally the Limitless Technique!" the fat man exclaimed. Seeing the power surrounding them, he understood immediately.
"I knew it. It had to be the Six Eyes," he continued.
As Yusuke's best friend, he naturally shared the same hobbies and was very familiar with Gojo Satoru. Gojo was undeniably strong, and the fat man knew it.
He still felt confident he could have beaten the original Gojo, but the version of those abilities in Yusuke's hands was something far more terrifying.
