Naruto: The Ridiculously Talented Uzumaki

"It truly saddens me. Although these eyes of mine long ago saw your end, witnessing it now, I cannot help but feel sorrow for you, Kaguya."

An ethereal female voice rang out.

Kaguya was bewildered at first, then looked vigilantly at Urashiki’s corpse.

She thought of a very distant name—Urashiki’s partner.

"Otohime, aren’t you dead?"

"Hmph, I am a god, and also the Princess of the Dragon Palace, the co-ruler of the endless blue waves. If I do not wish it, I cannot die."

White light radiated from Urashiki’s body. Naruto threw the sealing scroll in that direction, then used Kamui to bring Hanabi and Hinata into the Kamui Dimension.

Hamura’s Soul uncontrollably pushed the sealing scroll open, and then was unexpectedly sealed inside.

Naruto, who was observing the situation outside using a Kamui projection, widened his eyes. The Seal on the sealing scroll shouldn’t have been able to Seal a Soul!

Is this the ability of that person named Otohime?

The white light transformed into the form of a young girl with skin as fair as snow and frost. Like Kaguya, she had a pair of wooden horns on her head, though those wooden horns were shaped somewhat like the antlers of a fawn.

Her figure was slender, and her long silver hair flowed gracefully.

The moment she appeared, all the energy in Urashiki’s body was sucked dry, and the entire corpse turned into a desiccated husk.

Unlike the usual Otsutsuki who wore plain white clothes, Otohime was dressed in a magnificent white gown that looked like water and gauze, with faint scale patterns and starlight interwoven upon it.

On Otohime’s face, which was like frost and snow, a subtle ripple flashed, like a shadow passing beneath a calm sea.

Her eyes shifted with a hint of curiosity as she sized up Naruto.

"Truly peculiar."

She spoke again, her voice still ethereal, but now with a hint of inquiry.

"Ordinary techniques are nothing but ripples and wrinkles in my eyes. Yet your hiding place is in a state bordering on ’Nothingness.’ Were it not for these eyes..."

Her long, slender eyelashes lowered gently, then lifted again. In her eyes, it seemed as if a galaxy was flowing. "Are you currently hiding in the ’crevice’ between another dimension?"

Naruto was not surprised that the other party could see through the secrets of Kamui; after all, she was a member of the Otsutsuki. The Otsutsuki needed to traverse the Universe, and basically everyone possessed space-time Ninjutsu. It was not worth being surprised that she could see the secrets of Kamui.

Otohime turned her head to look at Kaguya, slightly raising her finger, around which the undissipated white light lingered.

"How pathetic. Since you don’t even know of a low-level technique like Karma, I will tell you, considering that you are also one of our kind. Ayashikoni... This is a technique of life born from death. Abandon the old body, achieve Nirvana within a chosen vessel; only when breaking the cocoon can one attain rebirth and a higher level of power."

Her gaze swept over Kaguya, who was facing a formidable enemy, and then glanced at Naruto.

"Ants, witnessing the return of a god is already your honor. Leave quickly, and you may yet linger on in survival..."

Before her words had even faded, a fierce blade light arrived!

It was a young man in white clothes with white hair. His movements were as fast as lightning, carrying pure and imposing killing intent, his long blade striking directly at Otohime’s neck.

However, where the blade fell, it only cut through an afterimage and water vapor.

Otohime’s figure, like a reflection in water broken by a stone, suddenly dissipated, only to quietly coalesce beside the rock wall dozens of meters away. Her posture remained graceful, and not even her sleeves had been ruffled in the slightest.

She didn’t even spare the attacker a second glance, as if that lethal attack were merely a breeze brushing against her face.

The attacker was Hamura in his youthful state.

Hamura did not pursue. With a flash of his figure, he arrived beside the knocked-open sealing scroll and bent down to pick it up.

With Hamura’s attainments in Sealing Jutsu, he understood the solution almost the moment he touched the scroll.

He unfolded the scroll and formed Seals with one hand.

A light flashed, and that portion of his Soul which had been accidentally sealed earlier turned into a stream of light, escaping from the scroll and rapidly fusing with his blade-wielding body.

In an instant, the aura around young Hamura surged. Nine pitch-black Truth-Seeking Balls silently appeared behind him, slowly rotating and emitting a heavy pressure that suppressed the space.

His previously slightly stiff face also radiated true vitality and sharpness due to the entry of his complete Soul, and his eyes became deep and determined.

"Hokage," Hamura turned to Naruto, his voice steady, "The most urgent matter is to first deal with this ’returning god’."

"The Pure Land is now my brother’s Domain, so my resurrection could receive some convenience."

Naruto stepped out from the Kamui Dimension, his golden Chakra cloak of Kurama Mode instantly enveloping his entire body, and he similarly entered a full combat stance.

He glanced at the round, solid Truth-Seeking Balls behind Hamura and understood in his heart; he was truly worthy of being the brother of the Six Paths Sage.

In the official guidebook, the Truth-Seeking Ball is not a type of Kekkei Mora or Kekkei Tōta, but a Ninjutsu.

The Truth-Seeking Ball possesses the power of all Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and can easily unleash power that surpasses the Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta.

In other words, the prerequisite for this move is possessing Chakra of all seven attributes.

"Senior is truly well-prepared."

"It’s just some small tricks I was forced to learn over the long years."

Hamura responded indifferently, his gaze constantly locked on Otohime in the distance.

"What about you? Don’t you also have a similar backup plan? That technique that allows the dead to return to the world of the living."

"Edo Tensei?"

Naruto shook his head, his face heavy, "That requires living sacrifices, and the power exerted is far less than it was in life. Now, without White Zetsu to serve as sacrifices, the cost-effectiveness is too low."

"Although the nature is different, the line of thinking of ’preparing resurrection methods’ is somewhat similar."

Hamura’s tone could not be discerned as praise or criticism. He tilted his head slightly and said in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"As for this body, it is actually a Puppet. Built with special Materials, it can perfectly carry my Soul and power, but it is ultimately not a true body of flesh and blood. You cannot sense any life aura on me, right?"

Upon hearing this, Naruto finally noticed that there was no life aura on Hamura.

Hamura’s current state gave Naruto the feeling of being exactly like the "Toneri" he first saw, and the first time he saw Kankuro.

Being able to use a Puppet to such an extent, to the point of even being able to control Truth-Seeking Balls, Hamura’s strength was truly unfathomable.

In the short exchange between the two, they had quickly formed a temporary alliance.

Although Naruto did not know what the situation was with this Otohime, as long as it was an Otsutsuki, just fighting was the right thing to do.

Hamura, this old... this Senior, was ultimately a person of the Ninja World, while the one before them was a genuine Otsutsuki.

"You are the son of Kaguya, and the blood of our kind flows within your body; you also count as a member of our kind."

Otohime’s voice rang out again: "If you desire to return to this world... I can teach you the true technique of resurrection."

Otohime had actually been eavesdropping for a while, but she just hadn’t made it known.

Compared to Naruto, Hamura, as Kaguya’s son, was obviously more interesting to her, and also seemed to have more value for "recruitment" or "utilization."

"Hmph." Upon hearing this, Hamura only let out a cold snort full of disdain.

"I do not need it."

His voice was resolute, "Unless the situation is special, the dead should not interfere with the world of the living in any form. Birth, aging, sickness, and death, the Soul returning to the Pure Land—this is the fixed law of heaven and earth, and also the Reincarnation order maintained by my brother. Forcibly reversing it is nothing but chaos."

As he spoke, one of the pitch-black Truth-Seeking Balls behind him attached itself to the ancient long blade in his hand as if it had a life of its own, plating it with a layer of deep black radiance.
