The domineering Uchiha drove the Third Hokage mad!

Chapter 439 The Divine Tree Over 9500 Meters Tall

Kaguya Otsutsuki's current strength far exceeds Kinshiki Otsutsuki's expectations.

Faced with Kinshiki's dual attacks from both near and far, Kaguya Otsutsuki simply raised her hand, and her chakra transformed into a black Truth-Seeking Ball barrier, blocking in front of her.

"Clang clang clang..."

A series of ear-piercing collisions exploded in the starry sky. The red weapon controlled by Jin struck the Seeking the Dao Jade barrier like a rainstorm, but was directly shattered into dust by the spatial patterns on the surface of the barrier. It disappeared without a trace, leaving not even a ripple.

Following closely behind, Jin Shi, his red spear crackling with purple lightning, stabbed fiercely towards the core of the barrier.

This was his killing move, which he thought would break through the defense in one strike, but the moment the tip of the spear touched the barrier, a tremendous force of backlash came from it.

"Buzz!"

The barrier trembled slightly, and Jin Shi felt his arm go numb. His tiger's mouth split open instantly, and blood slid down the shaft of the spear. He was so shaken by the rebound force that he was forced to retreat repeatedly, and the stardust beneath his feet was trampled and tumbled.

He steadied himself, looked down at his bleeding palm, and was shocked: This woman's strength is so much greater than the intelligence reports suggested? The intelligence reports clearly stated that she had been sealed for a thousand years and her strength should not have improved much, so why does she now possess such terrifying power?

"You think you can hurt me?"

Kaguya Otsutsuki gently raised her hand, and countless jet-black "All-Killing Ash Bones" appeared out of thin air. This was her signature move, containing the primal power to destroy life.

With a flick of her finger, all the All-Killing Ash Bones flew towards Kinshiki Otsutsuki.

Upon seeing this, Kinshiki Otsutsuki's pupils contracted sharply, and he dared not be careless in the slightest.

Knowing the terror of the All-Killing Ashbones, the red ring behind him instantly burst forth with dazzling red light, manifesting dozens of crimson longswords and spears that continuously crashed towards the All-Killing Ashbones, attempting to intercept them layer by layer.

Kaguya's attack was too fierce. The All-Killing Ash Bones contained the power to destroy everything. The red energy impact was like paper in front of it, easily penetrated, and could not even provide the slightest resistance.

The next second, countless black bone spikes slammed into the red defensive wall.

With a crisp "crack", the defensive wall was instantly covered with spider web-like cracks. The chakra defense that Kinshiki had gathered was no match for his signature move and soon a fatal flaw appeared.

"not good!"

Kinshiki Otsutsuki cursed inwardly, trying to use his Body Flicker Technique to dodge, but it was too late.

A single, deadly sting of the Ash Bone broke through his defenses and pierced his shoulder. Blood gushed out instantly, and the wound was constantly being eroded by the power of the Ash Bone, causing excruciating pain, as if even his soul was being torn apart.

Immediately afterward, Kaguya Otsutsuki appeared in front of him in a flash.

Her eyes were icy as she unleashed the Eighty Divine Air Strike, a signature martial art technique she had honed over a thousand years, combining offense and defense.

"puff!"

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki was beaten until he was covered in blood, his body like a fish swimming against the current, being thrown away by a huge wave. Finally, he crashed heavily into a huge meteorite, which instantly shattered into countless small pieces, the flying fragments scattering across the starry sky.

The red halo behind him dimmed instantly, the manifested red weapon vanished, and the hard horn on his head, symbolizing his Otsutsuki identity, broke off. His aura weakened to the extreme.

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki, bracing himself against the shattered meteorite, struggled to his feet: "In just over a thousand years, your strength has increased to this level; it's truly unbelievable!"

Kaguya Ōtsutsuki's Byakugan eyes were filled with icy killing intent: "Kinshiki, there are some things you will never understand!"

"I understand, is it because of that human?"

Kinshiki Ōtsutsuki's heart sank, knowing he was doomed to die today. But when his gaze fell on the disheveled Momoshiki, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes: He couldn't let Lord Momoshiki perish here too! As his protector, even if he were to be shattered to pieces, he would fight for his life!

"Lady Momoshiki, it's time to fulfill my duty!"

Kinshiki Otsutsuki stared intently in Momoshiki's direction, as if trying to convey his final, unwavering resolve. He was born to protect Momoshiki, and now, exchanging his own life for Momoshiki's survival was his final mission.

The next second, a dazzling red light suddenly erupted from his body, his chakra began to condense and boil wildly, his body twisted and turned, his skin gradually became transparent, and his whole body transformed into a chakra fruit that was entirely red and exuded a strong chakra aura.

This involves sacrificing one's own life to condense all chakra and life essence into a chakra fruit, which is then absorbed by companions to instantly boost their strength. It is a way to turn the tide in desperate situations.

At this moment, Momoshiki Otsutsuki was being beaten so badly by the fists of the three peaks that he was completely powerless to resist. His white robe was already stained with blood, and his aura was extremely weak.

But when he saw Kinshiki sacrifice himself to become a Chakra Fruit, a strong will to survive instantly ignited in his eyes. With his last ounce of strength, he forcefully broke free from the three peaks' suppression and reached out to catch the fruit that was about to take shape.

Just as the chakra fruit was about to fly into Momoshiki's hand, a black figure appeared in front of the fruit and grabbed the red chakra fruit in his hand.

Uchiha Mitsunori weighed the fruit in his hand, feeling the immense chakra contained within, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Momoshiki, you don't actually want this fruit, do you? Beg me! If you beg me, I might consider throwing the fruit to you!"

Seeing the other party's arrogant appearance, Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki coughed up another mouthful of blood, and his aura completely weakened.

He stared intently at the chakra fruit, all traces of his previous arrogance and haughtiness gone.

"Give me back Kinshiki's Chakra Fruit! Otherwise, the Otsutsuki clan will never let you get away with this!"

Uchiha Sanfeng reached out and grabbed at the void, opening a spatial gate. On the other side stood a divine tree over eight thousand meters tall, radiating a powerful life force.

He looked coldly at the limp Momoshiki, dragged him and threw him next to the sacred tree.

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki guessed what the other party was going to do and struggled in terror: "What are you going to do? I am an envoy personally appointed by the Ōtsutsuki high command! If you dare to touch me, the Ōtsutsuki clan will surely raze your ninja world to the ground!"

The roots of the Divine Tree, as if possessing a life of their own, instantly extended out, their dense tendrils wrapping around Momoshiki's limbs and frantically absorbing his chakra and life essence.

Momoshiki's body withered away at a visible rate, and was eventually completely devoured by the Divine Tree.

Immediately afterwards, Uchiha Mitsunori weighed the red chakra fruit in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and then fed it to the Divine Tree as well.

The moment the fruit touched the roots of the divine tree, it transformed into a rich red chakra, which was completely absorbed by the tree's roots.

Having absorbed Momoshiki's body and Kinshiki's chakra fruit, the Divine Tree's trunk grew thicker and thicker at a visible rate, and golden patterns appeared on its already hard bark, making it appear even more mysterious.

Originally over 8000 meters high, it continued to climb, quickly breaking through the 9000-meter mark, and finally settling at a height of over 9500 meters. The huge canopy was like a giant umbrella that blocked out the sky, and the coverage area was several times larger than before. A faint golden halo emanated from the branches and leaves, and it was already infinitely close to the limit that the ancestral star could withstand.

Uchiha Mitsunori calmly watched the Divine Tree grow, feeling the increasingly powerful energy contained within it, and nodded in satisfaction.

A transparent, phantom-like soul floated out from the divine tree; it was Momoshiki's lingering soul, which was trying to escape.

Before the phantom soul could escape too far, Uchiha Sanfeng raised his hand and waved it. A jet-black soul-hooking chain instantly shot out, binding and imprisoning the phantom, making it impossible for him to move.

"Trying to escape? Momoshiki, you still have some value!"

He gathered a wisp of pure soul power and slowly probed into Tao Shi's soul phantom, forcibly activating soul probing.

This is an ability he gained after awakening the golden Rinnegan; it allows him to directly read memories deep within the soul.

Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki's soul struggled frantically, letting out silent roars, but was firmly bound by the Soul-Snatching Chains, utterly powerless to resist. He could only watch helplessly as the secrets deep within his soul were slowly unearthed.

Images and pieces of information flooded into Sanfeng's mind like a tidal wave.

The cold-blooded orders from the Otsutsuki high command and the bizarre abilities of the unseen Urashiki were all exposed to him.

From Momoshiki's soul memories, we learned that he had lived for thousands of years, spending his entire life pursuing the ultimate evolution like Otsutsuki Shibai. To this end, he spent thousands of years studying and mastering a large number of lost divine techniques. His strength far exceeded what was apparent. If we hadn't been caught off guard, there would probably have been a fierce battle.

Their arrival on Earth this time was due to Kaguya Otsutsuki's "dereliction of duty".

Back then, the Otsutsuki clan's high command specifically dispatched Kaguya to Earth with the core mission of planting the Divine Tree, cultivating it, and harvesting its fruits so that the clan's high command could draw upon its power to strengthen their own forces.

However, the millennium deadline had arrived, and Kaguya Otsutsuki failed to hand over the fruit on time, which thoroughly angered the Otsutsuki leadership. Therefore, they dispatched Momoshiki to lead a team, accompanied by Kinshiki and Urashiki, to Earth.

Their mission is to find out the whereabouts of the Divine Tree's fruit and retrieve it. If Kaguya dares to resist or conceal anything, they will be killed on the spot.

In addition, Momoshiki's soul memories also contain a large number of divine magic cultivation methods and combat techniques, which are top-level powers that he has never encountered before.

As the memories were read, a glint of light flashed in Uchiha Mitsunori's eyes. This knowledge of divine techniques was an unexpected delight for him. With these, his strength would undoubtedly rise to another level.

With a slight exertion, the divine power on the Soul-Hooking Chains surged, and Tao Shi's soul, bound by the chains, dissipated into a wisp of green smoke, completely vanishing into the air.

Kaguya Otsutsuki walked to his side, her gaze falling on the divine tree that stood over nine thousand meters tall before them: "Next, the Otsutsuki higher-ups will likely send more people over."

Uchiha Mitsunori nodded slightly and put his arm around Kaguya's waist: "Don't worry, let me develop for a while. By then, those who are afraid will become the high-ranking members of the Otsutsuki clan."
