In the illusionary realm of the ’Illusionary Sea of the Dragon Palace’, Naruto and Hamura stood ready, facing the starry giant whale controlled by Otohime and the oppressive force of the entire illusion.
However, in the real world, their bodies seemed to have been put on pause, standing stiffly in place with vacant eyes, their minds clearly completely immersed in the genjutsu.
On Otohime’s snow-white, exquisite face that did not look like that of a Mortal, a smile of keen interest now appeared.
She took light steps, gliding as if on water, appearing before Naruto in an instant.
Leaning forward slightly, she extended her long, jade-like fingers and gently pinched Naruto’s slightly youthful yet already sharp chin, forcing him to look down so that his vacant eyes met hers.
"Just now... I actually didn’t notice."
With a hint of surprise in her ethereal voice, her golden Rinnegan carefully "examined" the inside of Naruto’s body.
"A part of the God Tree, a delicious essential power, is actually dormant deep within this boy’s body."
Her gaze pierced through Naruto’s body, directly "seeing" the Nine-Tailed Chakra within the Sealing Space.
"What a... fine ’pill’ this is."
The corner of Otohime’s mouth curled into a chilling arc, as if she were evaluating a precious medicinal ingredient about to fall into her hands.
For the Otsutsuki, devouring powerful Chakra Origins was the core path of their evolution.
To become an Otsutsuki, one needed to consume the Chakra Fruit produced by the God Tree, and the Ten-Tails was the shell of the God Tree. Naturally, the Nine-Tailed, which had been separated from the Ten-Tails, was also a part of the God Tree.
Consuming the Nine-Tailed was equivalent to eating a portion of the God Tree’s crystallization.
Before her voice could fade, a golden light flashed in her eyes. Her hand, which had been pinching Naruto’s chin, suddenly shifted from a pinch to a claw, grabbing Naruto by the neck.
Her five fingers tightened like iron pincers, about to lift Naruto up entirely, seemingly intending to "devour" him directly.
However—
Just as her fingers exerted force.
A hand covered in a golden Chakra cloak, swift as lightning, backhanded and firmly grabbed Otohime’s slender, pale wrist.
"Don’t make such suggestive gestures. I’m still a minor, you know."
Uzumaki Naruto, who was supposed to be deeply trapped in the genjutsu with vacant eyes, slowly raised his head.
His once clear blue eyes had now turned crimson, and within his pupils, six tomoe slowly rotated around the ripples in the center.
It was indeed Urashiki’s Six-Tomoe Rinnegan.
These eyes, containing the power of all creation and seemingly able to see through all illusions and essences, stared directly and fearlessly into Otohime’s brilliant yet shocked golden Rinnegan.
"Although I am indeed very handsome, and I can understand if your heart skipped a beat, pedophilia is illegal."
Naruto added another sentence, his tone as flat as if he were stating a fact. But combined with his gaze and actions at this moment, the words were filled with ultimate provocation and insult.
"You...!"
Although she didn’t know what "pedophilia" meant, it didn’t sound like anything a decent person would do.
The composure and greed on Otohime’s face instantly froze, replaced by shock and fury.
She tried to pull her hand back, only to find her wrist locked as if by the sturdiest of shackles, completely immobile.
The strength in Naruto’s hand was unimaginably immense.
How could this boy-like fellow have such great strength?
"Ah!!!"
In the next instant, severe pain struck.
The hand with which Naruto gripped Otohime’s wrist suddenly exerted force.
Though it was clearly just a well-defined hand, it felt like a hydraulic clamp.
Crack!
A crisp, teeth-gritting sound of bone fracturing rang out.
Under Naruto’s terrifying grip, Otohime’s right wrist shattered instantly like fragile porcelain.
Beneath her pale skin, bone fragments pierced through. Before the blood could even gush out, it was evaporated into a bloody mist by the violent Chakra!
"Ah!!!"
Otohime let out a shrill, distorted scream. This cry was filled with pain, shock, and an unprecedented sense of humiliation and fury at being injured by an ant.
She had never suffered such a severe physical injury directly inflicted on her body.
Her previous Nirvana was a voluntary and prepared ritual, not a pathetic reincarnation after being defeated.
As an Otsutsuki who had lived for countless ages, Nirvana was not only one of Otohime’s ways of growing stronger, but also her way of passing the time.
"You lowly creature... how dare you... Ah!"
Otohime’s face contorted in agony, and a terrifying killing intent and golden light erupted from her golden Rinnegan. She tried to activate her abilities to counterattack or break free, but the excruciating pain of her shattered wrist made her hesitate to exert too much force.
If she resisted too violently, she would only hurt herself more.
And Naruto, pressing his advantage, showed no mercy.
Gripping Otohime’s shattered right wrist, he yanked it upward violently.
At the same time, his other hand shot out like lightning, precisely grabbing Otohime’s right elbow joint.
Otohime did not possess a massive physique like Kaguya; she maintained a slender form resembling that of a human teenage girl.
Although Naruto was young at this time, after years of grueling training and a much more reasonable diet than the original Naruto, he was significantly taller than Otohime.
In the past, whenever Naruto had a bit of money, he spent it on food. Sometimes Sakura helped him buy it, sometimes Teuchi helped him buy it, and more often than not, Guy-sensei helped him buy it.
Leveraging his advantage in height and strength, along with his surprise counterattack, Naruto pulled Otohime—who was momentarily dazed by the intense pain—causing her to stumble. Her legs gave way, and with a thud, she collapsed onto the ground in a W-sitting position.
Her right hand was held high, gripped firmly like an iron clamp by Naruto, putting her in an incredibly humiliating posture.
The piercing, bone-deep pain from her wrist and the continuously dripping blood both served as reminders of what had just transpired.
Her Illusionary Sea of the Dragon Palace had been broken?
Could it be that the opponent was never fully caught in it from the very beginning?
Or... had they found a flaw in the illusionary realm, instantly broke free, and launched a counterattack?
Otohime was filled with doubt and uncertainty, but even more so, with a volcanic eruption of fury and fear.
She, the grand Otsutsuki, the Dragon Palace Princess, the Ruler of the Endless Blue Waves, was actually injured by a Mortal boy in such a humiliating manner, and was even forced into this posture!
"Lowly ant, I want you to..."
Otohime gritted her teeth, a silver light appearing within her golden Rinnegan.
She was clearly about to deploy her true killing move!
However, Naruto’s cold Six-Tomoe Rinnegan merely looked down at her with indifference, as if watching a fawn struggling in vain.
"Kamimusubi."
Silver starlight erupted from Otohime’s golden Rinnegan.
Kamimusubi was a Space-Time Dōjutsu with only one effect—to travel through time and space.
Furthermore, Karasuki, which was capable of traveling through time and space, was created by Otohime.
