Naruto: What Kind of Starter Pack is 13 Years Late?

Chapter 509: Most Absolute Despair and Fear

"As expected, he won, didn't he?"

Hashirama and the others were all a little out of breath at this moment, their expressions strange as they looked at the figure in the sky.

Seeing the collapse of that full moon sent shivers down their spines.

They couldn't see the distant battle very clearly. Even with their exceptional sensory abilities, they couldn't penetrate the distorted space. But dealing with Kaguya right in front of them was already making them feel uncomfortable.

"Kaguya is easier to deal with than imagined. She has no combat experience, but…"

They clenched their fists, thinking to themselves, but even so, quickly taking her down was simply unrealistic. Her immense power and her ability to constantly warp through space made her incredibly difficult to handle. Even if they could try to lock down space, that would still take time. Plus, the Ten-Tails' battle nearby meant they had to be extra cautious.

But what they hadn't expected was that the battle between the Ōtsutsuki could end so quickly, so dramatically.

"Is Takeshiki truly extraordinary?"

Sasuke, Naruto, Hashirama, Madara, and even Tobirama, Minato, Kakashi, and Guy all looked exceptionally solemn.

He was completely different from everyone else.

"Your problem, is it solved?"

Kaguya's face wasn't looking so good at this moment. Being besieged by these mortals and left in such a sorry state was something she had never anticipated.

Of course, a few of them, strictly speaking, couldn't really be considered mortals. The power of Indra and Asura bloomed within them, surpassing the abnormal state of mortals.

She also sensed that the power contained within these people possessed a strength that could even threaten her.

"Yes, but it seems things aren't going so smoothly for you."

Takeshiki slowly flew over, speaking with a hint of amusement.

This made Kaguya's gaze fix intently on her son.

"As I expected, Hagoromo never intended to let me go from the start. Among the powers he bestowed, there were those specifically to deal with me."

"..."

Takeshiki tilted his head. This situation was indeed hard to argue against, because it was all true.

However, he reacted quickly, tilting his head and speaking with a playful smile, "Why don't you look for your own reasons? You're so much stronger than them, yet you're in such a sorry state. Isn't that your problem?"

"You—"

Kaguya opened her mouth to say something, but then saw Takeshiki had suddenly flown to her side. This made her body instinctively stiffen, then she took a step back.

"..."

Takeshiki looked at the woman in front of him in silence. This woman seemed a bit much.

Buzz—

But just then, space behind him suddenly rippled, and in the next instant, a figure abruptly flew out from the distorted space!

"Ōtsutsuki Takeshiki!"

Accompanied by a roar, a black staff suddenly stabbed towards his back.

But Takeshiki didn't even turn his head, merely shaking it slightly, then his body leaned slightly to the side.

Swish!

A silver light flashed in space, and in the next moment, a huge gash appeared on the body of the flying figure.

The entire body crashed face-first to the ground, but at this moment, space once again shifted abnormally.

"Now! Die!"

Sharp bone spikes, accompanied by the sound of tearing air, and an immense gravitational pull seemed to firmly drag Takeshiki's figure.

But incredibly, Takeshiki still reached out and grabbed the attacking bone spike.

"Your timing is good, but the strength is too weak."

As soon as he finished speaking, his blade elegantly swished, and in an instant, another figure fell from the sky. He then took the opportunity to yank the section of spinal bone spike outwards. Then, a figure was entangled and pulled before him.

"Moreover, these eyes don't seem to belong to you either."

Buzz!

Another powerful repulsion erupted at this moment, but it couldn't stop any of it.

"Obito?"

"Nagato?"

"And Kimimaro?"

Naruto and the others looked at the three figures falling from the sky, their expressions becoming somewhat strange and complex.

They hadn't expected that these three would also be revived by Edo Tensei.

"Takemi! We're here!"

The next moment, Deidara, the Second Tsuchikage, and Ōnoki flew over from the sky.

Ōnoki should have originally stayed in the rear to await the outcome, but at this moment, he was unwilling to wait any longer.

"Tch, I really didn't expect the Ninja World to have so many messed-up things, and so many inexplicable people."

On the other side, the Second Mizukage, the man with the small beard, and Mei also rushed over together.

"This time, no matter how difficult it is, we will not surrender again."

Not far away, several giant toads and a massive giant snake rushed forward together, while Katsuyu was surrounded by them, moving quickly.

On their heads, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru stood. The Three Sannin of Konoha, regardless of their past stances, were reunited at this moment.

Not only them, Gaara and Chiyo also flew in together, and even many members of the Akatsuki didn't fall behind. They quickly gathered, staring at the two figures in the sky, while in the outer perimeter, layer upon layer of the Allied Forces swiftly surrounded the area.

They all knew how terrifying these guys in front of them were. They had all experienced the previous battle, but at this moment, no one would choose to give up.

"Everyone…"

Naruto looked at this scene, his eyes flickering slightly, while Sasuke stood with his arms crossed, appearing calm. But his clenched fists proved his inner turmoil.

"This is how it should be! Everyone should unite!"

Hashirama smiled, while Madara snorted coldly.

Yet, wasn't this scene also what he longed for?

"You even prepared a surprise?"

Takemi's God Tree Clone smiled. He whispered to the Sage of Six Paths beside him.

"Isn't this what you wanted?"

Hagoromo spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear, though his voice carried a hint of emotion.

"To let the world experience pain, the pain from the Ōtsutsuki, but isn't this also a kind of pain for you?"

"..."

Takemi almost rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Do I look like I'm in pain?

I've gained a lot, and I've had a lot of fun.

Besides, pain can be transferred.

"Yes, everyone must realize this, and it's no longer just playing house like before."

However, Takemi still nodded cooperatively, then he looked up at the sky and said with a smile.

"So, I'm going to add some spice. Are you ready?"

"The God tree?"

Hagoromo looked at the towering giant tree beside them.

When Naruto and the others were battling his mother, Takemi's Ten-Tails had defeated his mother's Ten-Tails. Finally, it devoured it, transforming into its current form, but was this not enough?

"Hiss…"

Suddenly, he thought of something, his face filled with disbelief.

"You… could it be…"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in hanging everyone on a tree, but…"

Takemi's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke softly.

"It's time to let people see what the most absolute despair and the most absolute fear look like."

The most absolute despair and fear?

Hagoromo looked at Takemi strangely, wondering what Takemi intended to do.
